TO THE SISTERSVILLE PUBLIC.

Sjstersyille, w. Va. May 6.-In the
Sistersville Daily Oil Review of April
so we find the following brief and OBJ
jectionabie statement: IF you are So
hcited to subscribe for stock in gold
mines our free advice 10 you is don't
you do it,. We naturally wonder
whence comes this combination of edi-
torlal sagacity and unrewarded philan-
thropy. How an editor mediocre in all
other respects can exhibit such wonder
ful perspecuity and foresight in mat
tiers he knows absolutely nothing about
and has never taken the pains to in
vestigate | fail to comprehend.
The foregoing advice, it is apparent,
cost nothing and is worth its face wall
ne. Suppose its wise counsel had been
needed how different would be the re-
suit. The State OF Colorado that alone.
according to smelter and mint returns
in 1897, produced almost S25 ,00C 900 in
gold, nearly S13 5000 in silver, 81
10000 in copper and more than 81
100000 in lead. would be lying silent
ana undlstuTbed in its pristine erand-
eur. with it's untold millions safely en-
sccnsed within its rcck-ribbed cayerns,
and Pixies Feak thing of value only
for the tourist to gaze upon in reverent
awe
A spirit Of fairness impels me TO put
this statement before the public as [
am aware that bogus mines as well as
fakes of other kinds are constantly be-
fore the people, and as | have taken
some interest in the mine under con-
sideration and called the attention Of
f..,o ! -
comes my duty TO defend my position
When Mr.. McAdam, of Denver. came
TO this city several weeks ago at the
suggestion OF one of our towrsmen
he laid before the people a plain bust
ness proposition, which he still farther
supported by maps, plans, photographs.
abstracts, etc, and in addition 10 this
he requested that one or more persons
go 10 Colorado and investigate fully.
which has been done by men of unim-
peachabla integrity, who have been
shreWd and successful in other lines cf
business, ard as a consequence they
have stated openly that the proposition
was clean and bona fide and in their
opinion better than Mr.. McAdam had
represented. As result of this inyes-
tigation many of the best people of this
and ether places have subscribed for
stock in this enterprise Now since
these are facts which can be proven /
look upon this gratuitous advice as a
gross injustice to Mr.. McAdam. who's.
time and money have been expended in
this matter.
If there is a fraud being parpatrateu
on the people by all means let it be dis
covered and punished, but when a man
of blameless reputation is pursuing a
strictly legitimate business i. is highly
improper and unfair that his success
should be imperilled by any such per-
niciOus influence.

AMERICAN CONSULS
Who Were Driven Out of Spanish Ter

Washing ton, May 6.-The United
States consuls in Spain and Cuba who
were obliged by the outbreak Of hostil
tiles to quit their posts without cere-
mony. ara net to suffer financially. The
State Department has arranged to give
each Of these officers sixty days leave,
so that they will at least draw pay for
that length of time. Should hostilities
extend beyond the sixty day period it
may be that recourse will be had to
Congress in behalf of the consuls, for
as the law now stands the State De-
partment is not authorized to retain On
the pay rolls any employe in the con-
sular service for longer period than
sixty days.

Fl. II. Miller, formerly Of Escanaba,

lawson to the coast over the trail. He
left Dawson on March 81, arriving here
on April u. 1t is mis- opinion that nav
igation will open between Dawson and
81. Michael about June 1, or two weeks
earlier than usual, owing to the warm
weather that prevails on the Yukon.
lie looks for general break up of the
ice this side OF Dawson before the mid
die of May.
Inc steamers Bella and Weare will
probably take the first consignment of
gold this year TO ST. Michael. They are
now with the Victoria and st. Michael
in the ice near Circle City, says Miller.
When the ice opens the Bella and
Weare will go to Fort Hamlin for pro-
visions, taking out the gold on her re-
turn from Dawson. The Victoria and
st. Michael will steam to Dawson, wait
ing there to take prospecting parties to
the Stewart river and other recently ex-
plored territories. Fully $2o.o00,0Oo in
gold will leave Dawson this summer,
according to Miller's statements.
No new strikes have been reported
near Dawson, but Miller says that re-
cant developments show that Sulphur
and Dominion creeks are each fully as
rich as Bonanza He confirms the
story of big discoveries on Monte Cristo
Island.

Santa Fe Railroad.
FIRE AT MULVANE
In 1898 Brought About the
Contention.
AT MULVANE

IN most volundnous case ever In the
appellate court here was taken Up IN It's
order yesterday and disposed OF. II was
the Santa Fe Railroad company. plaintiff
IN error. against the Springfield Fire and
Marine Insurance company. of Massachu-
sets, and the suit came UP from Sumner
county.
In November, 1882. John Hawk, a restau-
rant keeper and confectionery dealer on
Main street in Mulvane took out insurance
on mis- place for $500. On April 18th the
place was burned, presumably set on 7re
by sparks from an engine on the Santa
Fe.
Some trouble had occurred with the en-
CINE at Spivey, on the Mulvaue extern
sion, and the engineer had to burn old
ties for the rest OF his trip, and the claim
made in rhe suit that the fact that wood
had been substituted for coal in the en-
CINE constituted negligence. A claim agent
of the Santa Fe company went to Null
vane and settled for all the fires which
occurred along the track on tf.at trip.
In setting with Mr.. Hawk he subtracted
the amount of the insurance policy from
the total amount Of estimated damage by
the fire. The stttement was made and
the railroad company took a receipt.
The Insurance company thereupon sued
the railroad company for the amount of
its policy and the case came up in the
Sumner county court.
After long trial at Wellington a YER
dict was reached allowing the insurance
company judgment.
The railroad company appealed the case
