William Jennings Bryan tonight closed
the most remarkable week in his event
full career of campaigning. He was
scheduled for six speeches daily the
first three days Of the week In Ken
lucky and the last three days in Ohio.
He has been continuously on special
train since last Monday morning. and
has made many more than the thirty
six speeches on the schedule. In trav-
cling thousands of miles during the
week, most of the time at unusually
high speed, stccs were made at points
not on the schedule and speeches were
made from the rear of the train as well
as from platforms. He has made over
fifty speeches during the week and
many more skort talks at stations
along the way. His closing day of the
Kentucky and Ohio week was the most
active and remarkable of all, especially
in the meetings of Fostoria, Bellevue,
Clyde and other points. He started
earlier than other days, and continued
later tonight, apparently as vigorous
after the last meeting tonight as he
was last Monday morning. He left
late tonight for Chicago. en- route to
Nebraska, and will spend the last two
weeks of the campaign in his own state
in q similar manner to his great cam

Ore Worth 5000 per Pound.

dispatch from Deadwood, South
Dakota. says: ... -.
Otto p. Th. Grantz, owner of the
rich gold mine southwest of this city
has just returned from Denver, where
he went week ago with a carload of
ore to be treated. Mr.. GrantZ created
a sensation in Deadwood when he an
nOunced that he received $4,000 in
cash for his ore.
This is the richest carload of ore
ever shipped from the Black Hills. and
it is doubtful If there was ever richer
lot of ore mined from the surface in
any country in the world than that
which Mr.. Grantz took out of his mine.
He sent his carload of ore to Denver
with two men who We're heavily arm
ed Some of the ore was worth $40.
and the average of the lowest grade
went about 500 IA ton gold.
The Black Hills people are greatly
interested in the GrantZ strike of gold
ore southwest of this city, which was
made about II month ago. The ore is
becoming exceedingly rich and Mr..
Grantz has already put into the bank
fortune of nearly 100000 which he
got from n shipment of one carload
of ore to Denver.
Saturday Mr.. Grantz commenced TAX
ing out ore for another carload ship
ment, and the first work done in the
mine opened into n rich pocket from
which four pieces of ore We're taken
which are pure gold. Each piece
weighed about Il pound. 1t looked as
though somebody had poured the melt
ed gold into n mould. for it was as
pure rs though refined by fire.
The next carload shipped will be
even richer than the first one and Mr.
Grantz estimates that he has dozen
carloads of ore in sight of the very
richest ore. 1t is expected that he will
get $1,OOO.OOO for the next twelve ears
of ore The ore shoot has been traced
several hundred feet up the mountain
side from where 1t is opened up and
the same richness continues.
