THE COPPER KING
Will Rank Among the Worlds Great
est Mines.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Dec. 10
When before daylight on January 1,
1898, J. B. Hannum, D. w. Bowitz, B. I.
Dawson and his two sons, B. Y. and J.
F. Dawson, jumped an abandoned claim
five miles southwest of Canon City,
Colo, they did not dream of Bonanza
ore or of Dawson City, both of which
have been realized quite recently, the
city being only a few days old. The
men had starved out near Great City in
a poverty stricken condition, and were
looking for a job. Hannum came orig
inally from Illinois. They got the metal
but were too poor to buy a windlass. A
wheelbarrOw with a burrO dragged up
the incline the red oxide ore containing
traces of mOlybdinite and yielding 8 to
5 per cent copper. They were satisfied
with the copper prospects and proudly
named the mine Copper King.
Accordingly. a week since, Dawson
broke into deposit of free gold rock.
He knew what it was and was amazed.
He and his sons filed their pockets with
samples that assayed $4,324 and $16,410,
respectively, in gold. Before their secret
got out the owners of the Copper King
staked several claims in it's immediate
vicinity.
The secret was too good to keep.
Crowds of prOspectors and miners came
on trains, in wagons and afOOt. Many
women prOspectOrS We're among the
number, and stakes were driven rapidly
till several square miles were covered.

tent, variety theater, dance hall and all
other characteristic features of q, boom
ing mining city.
The Copper King is beyond doubt
bonanza mine.
At Canon City are located shelters
and reducing works and the electric
light power plant that operates the
great Cripple Greek camp. Dawson
City is much closer to power, and being
easily accessible, nothing remains to
make the camp permanent except the
quantity Of ore whose quality entities
the Copper King rank among the great
est mines of the world.
The miners, Mckenzie and Roberts,
located the Copper King in 1896. They
worked the assessment that year but
became discouraged and let the next
year pass. What became of them is
unknown.
Ever since the Pixies Peak excitement
of $50 mining in the neighborhood of
Dawson City has been considered a
good prospect. Abandoned holes are
now being dug out.

A RARE WOMAN.
The One Great Reason why Maurice
Loved the Fair CIarindn
DeyOtedly.

"Clorinda," said Maurice Fitzpatrick,
the proud young patrician from Peoria,
81 love you"
Miss Bullwinllle, the beautiful daugh-
ter OF the millionaire butterscotch max
er, staggered back as if she had been
struck"
NO, no." she cried, "surely you don't
mean it!''
YES" Maurice replied, ''it is, alas, too
true!"
Clorihda Bullwinkle sat down and
looked at the flames that were flicker
ing up from the gas log, She was in
deep thought. For awhile it seemed as
if the shock would be toe much for her;
but little by little she recovered her
composure, and, turning to the hand
some young man, at last she asked
when did you find it out?"
He looked at his watch and replied:
Just a little while ago. j have felt
symptoms of it for some time, but it
didn't break out until this evening,
Now I can doubt no longer. Clorinda, ]

thoughtful pause, "can you explain

SPANISH SOLDIER A SLOUGH.
He Is Lacking In Martial Ardar
and II NOtOriousiy Listiess
nnh LntldN.

The one predominating element in
Havana mt the present time is the sol
dierv. The streets are literally filed
with uniformed men and youth. The
average Spanish officer or soldier would
not impress an American favorably.
As a rule, they are not well set up,
and they are generally understood.
They all lack the West Point cut which
is so much admired by Americans.
They may understand the theory and
practice of war, but the true martial
ardor does not seem to reach down
into their backbone and legs. None Of
the officers would ever be accused of
wearing corsets, as some of our tledge-
lings in the military service are. The
uniform of officers and men seems to
be of the same MATERIAL fine green
and white stripe bingham, or some
similar fabric, for both coat and trou-
sers. The officers wear a few gilt stars
on their coat sleeves and a white >a4s-
vas cap; the enlisted men a Panama
straw hat, with one side folded up and
fastened with a rosette.
The volunteers, corresponding to our
national guard are doing duty in the
city as an adjunct of the police. They
have an inspection and guard mount
every morning on the PradO. I twice
saw this ceremony performed and never
saw anything so sloyenly done before.
There was no sizing up of the men
boy of five feet two inches would be
between men six or eight inches taller.
Talking in the ranks seemed to be al
lowed at all times. At the inspection
| the man became immovabla only when
the officer approached him, and relaxed
into sociability Immediately after the
officer had passed. Some had leggings
many had not. They were a job lot OF
misfts, assorted sizes and colors, from
Is to 40.
The regulars are having a hard time
of it. In summer about so per cent
sicllen and die. At the present tim,
some of them are begging on the
streets not having received their pay
for more than six months. This refers
to the enlisted men. The. officers ar,
paid, and, apparently, enjoy them
selves, They seemed to have just wa
enough on their hands, and no desir,
to increase the volume of their kline
of business. Although their bullet
might have as much penetration, the,
are no match for the American soldier
in intelligence.-Chicago Inter Ocean

HOW WE LOOK TO OTHERS.
Some Valuable Suggestions for Those
Who Contemplate Being Pho

1t has been said by one wEo ought to
know that no man has any clear
conceptions of how he looks. The express
sion of the face is continually chang
ing When you look in the glass, the
very intent to find out how you look is
depicted on your face. The more you
strive, the more the intent is intensified
and such an expression is not natural
to your face. How often do we look at
a photograph and find only disappoint-
ment in it! why is this? The camera
depicts the sitter just as he,is at the mo-
ment the picture is taken, but very
seldom can the instrument catch and
record that subtle thing called natural
expression" because, few persons are
natural when seated before the camera.
Well what of this? Simply this. If
you are noble, loving, and true, such
virtues will light up. your face if you
are sordid, mean and selfish, your face
proclaims it to the world. Anything in
your face that is active for good or evil
will impress itself upon your personal

qualities rule the life and have become
habitual, they are impressed on the face
and Sadly become habitual to the coun-
tenance, and the features themselves
become permanently changed to accord
with such expressions.
1t has often been remarked that per.
sons who have been married for a long
term of years come to look something
alike, nor is this surprising when we cal

are one, made up Of the same joys and
sorrows, the same hardshis and trials
and the same successes and pleasures; il
short, the intellectual and spiritual at
mosphere of both are to a considerable
extent identical, and we know that
these things affect the physiognomy
