The Mercur, Utah, mine has recently
paid dividend No. 81, $4,000, bringing
the total paid to stockholders up to
s825,O00. This is pretty good work for
the Nebraska corn shuckers who in
vested only a few thausand dollars,
originally, in the property, and then
stuck to it grittily until they found a
cheap process for working the low
grade ore. Experts, short time since,
estimated s1,04S,O0o more profit in sight
were the search for ore to stop at the
time the examination was made. By
any process of treating the ore, known
two years ago, this property was worth
less.

The barring of Wedderburn q Co.,
from acting as patent solicitor, or
acting as claim agents before any of
the bureaus in Washington, ends one
of the meanest humbugs who has in
tested the government departments
for many years. John Wedder-
burn began his career of fraud many
years ago by getting in with the San
Francisco Examiner people and start
ing the Examiner claim agency and the
influence of that paper secured him a
great deal of business. But Mr.. Hurst
did not require long time to find the
rascal's character and dropped him as
we'll as several thousand dollars with
the Bureau. Since then Wedderburn
has been going it alone. We are sorry
for all the people whom he has cheated
except the newspaper suckers who adj
vertised his claim bureau without re-
ceiving dollar for their space. They
should have known better. We did.
His grand and brilliant proposals found
ready receptacle in our waste basket.

made editorials from Room l, Glover

The Vale, Ore, Silver Advocate states
that J. N. Fell has bored a well, only
forty six feet deep, which has reached
suburb of Tophet and is spouting
splendid stream of boiling water. The

a flag on porch attracted his atten-
tion and aroused his antipathy. He
very imprudently allowed his angry
passion to carry him to the point of
tearing the flag down and stamping on
it when the owner was watching him
from the window. The subsequent
proceedings were lively but brief, and
when they were over Antonio was car
ried away by some good Samaritan and
placed where he will have time to re-
fleet on the general attributes of the
stars and stripes, including the pugilis-
tic attainments of the owner of the
flag he thought he insulted.

were coined at the Philadelphia mint
about twenty years ago. They each
contain grams of gold 1000 fine, three

their face value, and little more as

TENNESSEE HOTEL SOLD.
Lincoln Memorial University Pur-
chases the -Four Seasons"

Louisville, Ky, Jan. 4.-The Four
Seasons hotel, which was erected by
Chicago and New York capitalists in
the mountains of Tennessee, near the
Kentucky line, at a cost of nearly 81
600 COO, passed into the hands of the
Lincoln Memorial university today,
having sold for a price said to be about
SGT 900. The hotel was built two years
ago.
1t was the idea of the owners that the
Four Seasons hotel could be made the
favorite resort of eastern and southern
society. The winter the hotel was open
ed a magnificent inaugural ball was
given by the management, and many
New York society members were pres
ent. The south also furnished its full
share Of guests. The eastern visitors
were not accustomed to the free and
unconventional manner of the south
erners, and during the evening there
was a clash. Much feeling was aroused,
and the next day the eastern contin-
gent departed for home So did the
southern people, and from that day the
hotel has been Stunned. This social
war ruined the hotels business. and an
assignment followed the promoters of
this scheme losing over 81, 900 900.

GIRLS CAN'T PLAY BALL.
Chicago University Won't Let Them
Play intercollegiate Basket Ball

Chicago. Jan. 4-Coed residents Of
the University of Chicago discussed lit
tie else during spare moments Saturday
than a statement made by President
Harper at the convOcation ceremonies
in the Auditorium Friday evening. 1t
was this:
Parents of boys and girls today en-
gagged in college work here and else
where will not fail to be interested in
the fact that the women students of the
university have been refused permits
sion to engage in basket bali contests
with representatives of other institu-
lions, upon the ground that such con-
tests would not be productive of re-
suits which the good taste of those
most closely concerned would ap-
prove
But few of the young women students
were aware, previous to the doctor S
announcement, that a clique among
them had contemplated such rash
procedure as challenging rival teams
of maidens to battles of the basket ball
sort.
AT the PRONUNCIATION of this important
mandate, however, maidens in the au-
dience looked shocked, blushed extern
Sively, and cast wary, abaShed glanceS
at one another.
Throughout the autumn months the
young ladies addicted to Indulgence in
athletic sports have been practicing
hard in their gymnasium to acquire
proficiency in basket ball.
It was less than a month ago that
teams were organized and captains
elected. Mrs. A. Alonzo Stage and Miss
Grace Eberhardt were those lucky
enough to be honored by the bestowal
upon them of the titled positions. The
clubs have contested among themselves
in practice games and have been look
ing forward to match combats during
the. coming winter quarter.
1t now appears that hopes of a broad
er type have been entertained. why.
said the bravest among the maidens.
cannot wOmen's intercollegiate basket
ball be established, and thus another
advance in the social equalization of
men be effected?"
To start the ball rolling along the
right path negotiations, it is said, have
been on between the varsity teams and
rival aggregations that have been form
ed in districts bordering on Chicago.
Games with the Austins, the Hull
house seven and the North Side Oil
vettes were in prospect. Thinking that
| faculty consent would be in order the
girls applied for their approvalIt seems
however, that this was not Forthcoming
and the presidents announcement now
makes it apparent why the faculty be-
Heved the approval should be with
held.

ILLINOIS SENATORSHIP.
There is the Greatest Activity in the
Illinois Legislature.

Springfield ILL.,, Jan. 4-There has not
been so much political activity in
Springfield since the famous session of
the legislature which elected John M
Palmer TO the United States senate as
there is today. The political fights are
both numerous and interesting, the
most important being the selection of
a United States senator to succeed Gen
eraI John NJ. Palmer. The fight for
the position of United States senator
is quite uncertain.
The leading candidates are Martin 3.

David E. Litter of Springfield; Colonel
Clark f. Carr of Galesburg, late United
States minister to Denmark; Congress
man r R Hit of Mount Morris and

press the greatest confidence of sue

MINERS STRIFE LIKELY.
A Big Walkout is Said to be Near in
Ouray, Col

Denver, Jan. 4.-From reports current
in Denver and substantiated by pri-
vate advices from Ouray, it appears
that Ouray and San Miguel counties are
on the verge of a miners strike that
may surpass the one now in progress
in LeadvilIe. The cause of it will be
the Importation of non-union miners
from Missouri into the VirginiuS mine
and Revenue tunnel situated about nine
miles west of Ouray.
Since early in December there has
been a strike at the tunnel and mine
Several attempts to settle it amicably
proved ineffective. Between 100 and
500 miners have ben engaged around
Joplin Mo. to take the jobs OF the
strikers. The strikers are members of
the miners union and it seems probab bic
that following the introduction of nom
union labor a general strike will be
ordered There are $500 miners in
Ouray and San Miguel counties, most
of whom belong TO the union
