Clue To His Whereabouts
Comes From Mexico.
AMERICAN SAW LETTERS
Which Bore the Name OF the Missing
Man and Which Were Delivered To
A Mexican Boy Who Was In the
Habit Of Calling At the Office
Regularly.

It is barely possible that the where
abouts of Col. Albert J. Fountain and
his little son, who we're supposed to
have been murdered several years ago
in New Mexico, may yet be known.
It is possible thatIthey are In Mex
leo.
The Fountain disappearance. was one
of the most sensational that ever occur
red in Mexico and neither the promin-
emit attorney nor his little son has been
seen again to this day, living or dead.
The theory was advanced that both
were murdered by cattle rustlers, whom
Fountain as attorney for the cattle
mems association was engaged in pro-
scouting, but no definite Information IS
to the killing could ever be obtained
although several residents of New
Mexico are now under Indictment for
the murder--among them Oliver Lee of
Dog canon.
It has long been commended by many
residents of New Mexico that Fountain
had simply concluded to change his
place of residence and chose his own
methods for leaving the territory.
They say that he was capable of con-
c0cting just such Q sensational scheme
for disappearing.
Yesterday there arrived from Mex
leo w. T. Aston, who resided at Lin
coin, New Mexico. prior to 1888 and
has since that time been to Alaska and
many other remote places in quest of
gold. He was we'll acquainted with
Fountain and has always beiiev-
ed that Fountain was not
murdered but simply left the country
of his own volition and was satisfied
that the lawyer and his son would one
day be heard from.
Alston's story is as follows:
"Last Friday was at q small Anne
rican post Office in Mexico to get my
mail. The letters and papers were all
piled together and Americans went in
and picked out their mail.
SIN going through the pile noticed
letter and paper addressed to A.
j. Fountain.
1.-THE name was familiar to me and
1 Immediately inquired to know where
I could fiud Fountain.
''The postmaster told me that he did
not know Fountain, but that Mex
lean boy was in the habit of coming
to the postoffice for the letters address
sed to him.
~ am very much inclined to believe
that Fountain, of Las Cruces, with
whose murder Oliver Lee is charged,
hundred miles distant from
that post office.''
Alston is interested In Q valuable
gold and silver mine fifteen miles from
the Mexican Central railway and is in
the city on business connected with his
mine.

r MIC MINES.

The United States Consul at Chefoo.
China, lately forwarded to the United
States Geological Survey specimens of
mica found by an American in an inland
district of China. Tt has long been
| thought tina somewhere in the interior
large quantities of this precious SUBJ
stance must be found, for there is an
abundance of it in use throughout the
kingdom. Definite news of the mines was
first gathered by an American living in
an obscure town in the Chu Cheng Pro-
vince. He at once sent a reliable China
man to purchase him a donkey load. The
agent happened to reach the place during
the wheat harvest, when the people said
it did not pay to work the mines. He
bought what they had left over, after the
best had been picked out by petty deal
e1s, at the rate of IS cash per catty." or
25 cents per hundred weight. Il knew
that it would never do to give the men an
idea that there was any demand for the
! mica by foreigners,' writes the Ameri-
can, for then the price would jump up
to a prohibitory figure. A year later I
again sent my agent to the mines, but
was again unfortunate in finding the
mines idle. The villagers told my mes
senger to go farther southeast, toward
the sea coast, to obtain the best quality.
He was limited in time and returned with
| what he could procure Il the nearest
| place. This proved to be very poor quail
ity. I fear the poor quality of the mica
l was compelled to send them discour-
. aged their United States correspondents.
for l never had a report upon it, though
they paid the expense Of the experiment."
The Geological Survey pronounced the
specimens which the consul had reluc-
family forwarded as poor in quality to
be equal, if not superior, TO that now in
the American and European markets
These mines must be of untold value. yet
aside from this effort nothing has been
done. In the summer of 1898 an English
man, Captain O'Sullivan by name, went
to Pekln and Tientsin and tried to get a
permit from Ii Hung Chang to open a
mine, but the minister refused.

Little Miss Hezlet began her golf work
at the age Of II. Her family were all

best methods. They took turns in teach

Hezlet boys and perseverance from the
HeZlet women. She first distinguished
herself by her clever lofting in the teeth
or q gale. She learned to avoid hazards
by a new and original method, sometimes
going long distances out of her way, and
making UP the space again when in fair
fields. She got the trick of dressing for
the field and wore the stoutest boots and
the loosest coats. She also borrowed a
boys stride, which covers the field with
the least fatigue; and so she acquired
gradually that skill which serves her so
well now.

Hezlet is extremely modest. After She
had received her trophy she went away

and nothing seems to mar either-not eX-

In 1860. while the coming war was still
on her mind. Miss Anthony secured for
married women in New York state the
possession of their earnings and the
guardianship of their children: and that
same year she started a petition in ia
vor of leaving out the word male in
the 14th amendment. which was equiva-
lent to starting a movement for equal
rights for men and women.
The elimination of the word male
has been the life work of Miss Anthony.
but up to date she has not accomplished
it in her own state. although various
western states have woman suffrage.
Miss Anthony in her speech told of the
rOgress of this movement in the Unit

here, too. is gaining ground.

she jokingly told Addison Ryman. the

ENCLAND'S LITTLE GOLF CHAMPION

London, une 2S.-All London is telling
OF the work of the latest little girl soft
champion. Mary Elizabeth Liilzee Hezlet,
the little Irish lass who, fresh from
Ulster, came over to Newcastle and cas-

Little Girl Hezlet," as Lord Rosebery
called her, gave previous hint of her abil-
ity by winning a stroke competition with
a score of 81. She also won the Irish
championship. But no attention was paid
to her when she entered for the ladies
open championship of Great Britain, for
no one supposed she would do anything.
Among her opponents was Miss Magill,
another Irish golfer, who is noted for her
nerve in trying situations. Then there
was Miss bod. who made that wonderful
stroke last year. And besides, there was
Miss Carr. the girl whose strength was
pronounced wind proof" meaning that
