MRS. KATHERINE REED DEAD.
Became Wealthy by Selecting the Site of
Big Oil Well.

Big Oil Well.
Mrs. Katherine e. Reed. one Of the
wealthiest women in the oil country, all
of whose money came from Oil, and
whose foresight was the means of num-
erous others amassing fortunes, died re-
Gently near Sistersville, w. Va. Five
years ago Mrs. Reed was a widow with
eight children, and her only possession
was a farm which she was unable to
work, and which, had it been cultivated
most scientifically, would not have fur
nished living for her and her children.
At the opening of the oil excitement
her farm was leased and a well put
down. The we'll proved a buster, and
the men who had drilled it prepared to
take away their rig and tools. Mrs.
Reed begged them to try another we'll
in a location which she had selected for
the first well, but which the oil experts
had declared was not favorable The
drillers were hard up, and so was Mrs.
Reed, but she finally induced them to
make another trial, she agreeing to
board them for nothing if no oil was
found.
That we'll was the biggest gusher in
the field, and to this day is a big pro-
ducer, and is known far and wide as
The Big Kate" after its owner. Mrs.
Reed made money rapidly after that, and
her farm is today worth 100000, and
she has taken more than that much oil
from it. Her eight children are all left
independent, besides having oil produc-
ton sufficient to keep them in luxury all
their lives if they hold to it

Novelty for Bicycle Riders.

An electrician says he has found a
quicker way of making a fortune than
running wires and selling batteries, and
judging from appearances he has good
reason for the statement. He has erect
ed platform 100 feet long and 10 feet
wide at the end of a cycle path. Down
this platform is ranged series of push
buttons, which are connected through
a battery to an electric bell and an an
nunciator The rider. having paid 10
cents. starts at one end and tries in rid
ing down the line to depress as many of
the buttons as possible. When button
is struck the bell rings. and the annun-
ciator registers the particular button
The rider who is successful in guiding
his wheel tire over all the push buttons
wins 90 cents. This new diversion has
created an extraordinary furore. The
lucky inventor has organized a company
which will sell the platforms outright,
and give territorial protection to pur
chasers during the life of the patent.
As a drawing card for owners of seaside
and country pleasure resorts, the new
diversion would seem to be unique.

Few things in common use are more
dangerous than needles. This is espe-

dropped carelessly on the floor. 1t is

but even then it has fashion of

THE GREATEST GOLD FIELD.
Milwaukee Owners Get FIattering Re-

Milwaukee Owners Get Factoring Re-
ports Regarding Saw Pit Mines.
The San Juan Gold Mining company
continues to receive the most fiattering
reports as to the value of its gold mines
at Saw Pit, the new Leadville. The
indications are that the Milwaukee COM
pany have secured some of the very best
mines in that marvellous district, which
is now regarded as the greatest gold field
in the entire world, excepting neither
Cripple Greek nor any other section of
Colorado.
In the interests of a number of promi-
nent Wisconsin men who have become
interested in the San Juan company, Jo-
seph Mackedon, miner with more than
a quarter of a century of active expert
ence, the man who discovered and de-
veloped the Mollie Gibson and the best
gold mines of Leadville, and who has
had twenty-five years of active expert
ence as to mines in same formation as
Saw Pit, has just completed a thorough
inspection and scientific Investigation of
the company's properties at Saw Pit
In the course of a lengthy official re-
port, made to 2. J. Somers, he says:
"NOw, | am of the opinion, after look
ing the situation over carefully, and at
my leisure, that the property is a safe
investment, and this dyke being so close
in, makes the property more valuable,
as the dyke was the immediate cause
of the faulting and slipping. In
conclusion. will say as a proposition to
develop paying mine, such as the dis
trict produces, you can do no better"
This means much for the properties,
as Mr. Mackedon considers the mines
of the district in question second to none
in Colorado. The opinions of Mr.. Macke
don, who did so much to develop Lead
vile, will go a great way with the Wis
consin people who have become identified
with the San Juan company, or who
are contemplating such step. His is
