In Which Harry Dinner of Cincinnati
Figures Quite Largely.
Harry Dinner, of Cincinnati, is in the
city. Mr.. Dinner was formerly resi-
dent of this section and about him is
woven q romance that is particularly
interesting. Mr.. Dinners father is a
wealthy and prominent citizen OF Gin
cinnati. When the Younger Dinner
was about 18 years of age he con-
cluded that he could paddle his own
canoe and ran away from home, and
after 10 or II years of wanderings final
ly located in Virginia. The father
made every effort to find him. Finally
a resident of Virginia read the adver-
tisement of the father inquiring for the
sons whereabouts in Cincinnati pa
per, and answered it. The father lost
no time in coming to Virginia, found
his son, who was then in the employ OF
local saw mill concern, affected a
happy reconciliation and prevailed
upon him to return with him to his
home in Cincinnati, where the young
man now has business interests OF i'm.
portance. Young Mr.. Dinner is here
to look over the field of his exploits OF
few years ago, and will probably re-
main several weeks.

THEY ARE BEAUTIES

Local Banks Receive the New Dillon
Silver Certificate
The local banking institutions, Mes
SIS. Hall & Bennett and Henry Filing,
received few of the recent issue of one
dollar silver certificates, issued recent
ly by the treasury department to re.
lieye temporary wants. It is by long
odds the handsomest bill yet printed
under the auspices of Uncle Sam.
True it does not possess the solid
beauty and richness of the $1,000 bill,
but ut the same time it does not possess
the touch-me-not something Of the Will
liam of larger denomination. But it is
very artistic production, much more
elaborate than the older issue. The
center of the engraving is group rep
resenting history instructing youth.
History is represented by beautiful
woman, draped in Old Glory, reclining
upon u couch, and pointing for youth 5
edifcation into the background, where
rises the Washington monument, and
beyond that the capitol building and
the city of Washington. In the center
of number of laurel wreathes form.
ing border for the bill are emblaz'
oned the names Of number of Colum'
bias most distinguished sons. The re-
verse design is green scroll work about
the pictures of George and Martha

\ Former Madison County Man Talks
About That Country.
Louis 3. Bender, who was formerly
with the Letter mine, but who has
spent the summer in the Trail Creek.
B. c., country, arrived in Virginia
Tuesday evening. He considers the
Trail creek country great mining re-
gion. Rossland, the principal town,
contains about 5000 inhabitants. The
town is not Incorporated, as about
IS per cent. of the Inhabitants are
Amercans, and the local government
is in the hands of the gold commission
err, the representative of the govern
ment of British Columbia. The pres
ent commissioner is Jake kirkup, a
young man who distinguished himself
in the mounted police service of the
northwest and was rewarded with the
appointment. He is monarch of all he
surveys and is the official head of ev-
erything. He is recorder of deeds:
head of police; mayor, and has juris'
diction to preside at the preliminary
examinations OF all offenders against
the law.
Heinze's smelter is at Trail, few
miles from Rossland, and is wholly in
adequate to handle all the ores nov
taken out. Heinze's railroad connects
| Trail with ROssland.
| The ores of that section are very re
| fractory. and for wears haffied the at
tempts of local chemists to analyzt
them. The Leroy mine, one of thu
richest mines in the Rossland district
was sold originally for an old horse ant
81 in cash. It's stock is now paying al
annual dividend of 60 per cent.
