husband, and beside her were her
daughters, Mrs. Walston H. Brown
and Miss Maud Inge4soll. They were
very NUN agitated and wept almost
continuously. Mr. and Mrs. c. p. Far
rell were present and Charles Broad
way Rouss, Colonel Ingersoll's Oldest
friend occupied a chair by the side of
the bier. There were some forty others
present, and they remained by DR..
John Clark Ridpath, who in a voice
full of emotion said:
MY friends, it is very sad duty to
read in the presence of the dead the
last poem written by Colonel Robert
G. Ingersoll entitled Declaration of
the Free This poem Colonel Inger-
soil had read and altered in some OF
it's parts only few hours before he
was stricken down.
Major o. J. Smythe, who resides in
Dobbs Ferry, and who was a close
friend of Colonel Ingersoll, then with
out preliminary words, read another
extract from Colonel Ingersoll's writ
ings, entitled MY Religion"
DR.. John Elliott of New York read
the funeral grafton delivered by Col
onel Ingersoll over his brothers dead
body.
This concluded the short and simple
services. Nearly all present then took
a parting look at the dead and passed
out.
After they had gone Mr.. Rouss arose
from his chair, and he is totally blind
passed his hand over the face of his
departed friend and said: perhaps he
is better now. No one can understand
it."
Mrs. Ingersoll said to him: THE
Colonel wanted you to put your hand
upon his heart" and suiting the action
to the word, she directed his hand to
the left breast of the deceased.
Mr.. Rouss asked what she was going
to do with the remains.
IT can't give him up she said. Il
can't put him in the ground. 1 can't
bear to think of it. We're going to
bring him back home"
The body will probably be taken to
Fresh Pond Thursday for cremation,
but this arrangement is subject to
change. During the morning there
were many visitors to look upon the
face of the deceased.
Among them were several old col
ored servants of the family, who had
come from Washington and took four
days off and paid their expenses to do
honor to their great benefactor. Among
these were the former buffers of the
family.
One old man who was baggage
man on the railroad came from down
on Long Island. Others came from
Chicago, Syracuse and Buffalo. Many
additional kilograms of sympathy were
received to-day, one of them being
from General Miles. Floral tributes
were received all the morning, and
there were two rooms full of them.
A photograph of the body was taken
this afternoon just as it lay surround
ed by these flowers. 1t took a three :
quarters view of the face.

The Pickett group of mining claims
in the Deer Lodge district, Nevada, has
been bonded to r. c. Lrnd and asso-
ciates, the final consummation of the
deal having been made on Saturday
afternoon. The consideration could not
be learned. but the owners of the prop
erty, Colonel II. L. Pickett, Adam
Clark and w. 7. Troutman, will re-
eeive an amount running well into the
thousands of dollars. The property
consists of ten claims. which were
among the first located in the camp,
and they are considered to be very val
liable.
Among The claims bonded to Mr..
Lund and his co-partners are two
which deserve special mention-the Log
Cabin and the Indiana. The Log Cabin
is covered by the townsite of Deer
Lodge, and aside from its mineral-pro-
ducing possibilities IL holds the prin-
cipal water supply of the camp. This
claim is also an extension of the Home
stake property, recently bonded by
Messrs. Lund and McCune, and upon
which an. active campaign OF develop
ment is now in progress. The Indiana
is said to have exposed within its
boundaries the. largest quartz ledge in
the camp. and free gold in liberal guam
titles is shown in the surface groupings.
Those familiar with the geological con-
ditions of the Deer Lodge district are
OF the opinion that the Pickett group is
one OF the most promising propositions
in the district, and now that Mr.. Lund
and his associates are to undertake its
exploitation, important results are ex-
pecfed-
A large force of men is employed at
the Homestake. and among the perma-
nent improvements now under way is
the erection of a large steam hoist, ca
pable of carrying the present working
shaft to great depth. No one doubts
but the Homestake will make d great
mine, and there is every reason to be-
lieye that the Log Cabin and the other
claims which 90 to make up the Pickett
group will make another bonanza.
Colonel Pickett still retains his Deer
Trail property in Pixies Diggings. and
other interests at Stateline and upon
these he expects to concentrate his
efforts in the future.

Boston Company Installs Machinery

Especial correspondence.)


Richfield, Nov 5-Dr. Watkins and
party returned yesterday from Halls
crossing, where they went about three
weeks ago to inspect the plant recently
installed by the Boston Placer Mining
company for sluicing the bars along the
river, and this morning started for
Boston. Dr. Watkins is president of
the company, ana is well pleased with
the working of the plant. 1t is now in
good running order, after considerable
delay, occasioned by the upsetting of
the boat loaded with the machinery,
and Dr. Watkins is satisfied the COM
pany will be well repaid for the thou
sands Of dollars it has expended in
putting in a plant which would operate
the bars expeditiously and economi-
cally.
Four tons of rails, ore cars and other
mining material, which recently ar
rived here for the Mammoth mine, at
Gold Mountain, is being loaded on
wagons to send up to the mine. Delay
in the delivery of this material has
been due to the heavy snow storms
which have lately prevailed on the
mountain. A good road is now open
and an effort is to be made to get the
material through.
John Meteer, who has been in the
Deep Greek country for six weeks, re-
turned a few days ago and has gone
up. TO Gold Mountain He says he is
well satisfied that Deep Creek is a
great mineral country, and will he one

the Bessarabia Claim.
(Special Correspondence.

Robinson, Nov. 5.-For some days
there have been rumors of strike in
the Bessarabia claim of the North
Swansea group, and last evening Fore
man Horne substantiated the report.
The North Swansea group is composed
of the Dutch Empire and Bessarabia
properties, adjoining the Mammoth
mill site on the west, and the Swansea
proper on the south. The chief own
ers are w. II. Clark, Pat Condor and
Mr.. Mulrooney. For more than eight
months they have been sinking and
drifting most industriously in hopes of
catching the Swansea ledge, and last
Saturday Mr.. Condor exhibited small
pieces of ore and vein matter bearing
all the characteristics of the big vein.
Yesterday Foreman Horne claimed
that the ore seam had widened TO
nearly three feet of apparently very
good mineral. If the claim is made
good it will be Of wonderful import
ance to the whole district, and particu-
larly to Robinson.
