TWIN CITIES ICE CREAM PARLOR.
As the summer season is about here
the desire for some nice place to 20
to get a nice dish of cream or
glass of cool soda or some other cool
drink arises in the minds off the young
folks; yes; and of the older folks, too:
but where, to goo is the question? Mr..

The First Patent Issued.

In strong contrast with the present
system Of the United States Patent
Office, where every inducement tempts
those with inventive faculty to pro-
duce some new and useful device, is
that of the issuing of the first patent,
concerning which Iron and Steel says:
To the General Court of Massachusetts
belongs the honor of granting the first
American patent. This was in 1913,
and was then designated as monopo-
ly. 1t was confined to the region con-
trolled by Massachusetts, and the one
issue apparently included all the in
ventions of the inventor connected
with engines that depended upon wa
ter for their motive power. The limit
of the monopoly was fourteen years,
and the court not only retained power
to forbid expectations, but to prevent
exorbitant charges upon the public for
Their use. The patent was iss I'd in
this form:
9th of the 9th Mo. l64S. The cor't con-
sid'inge ye necessity of raising such
manufactures of engins of mills to go by

The Grantz strike of gold ore in the
North Lead mining district, three
miles southwest of Deadwood, S. d., is
the absorbing topic in the Black Hills.
Grantz, an old German miner, who has
worked in this particular place for a
number of years, found a remarkably
rich vein of gold ore while looking for
wolframite, and already 20,O005 has
been taken out, and it is estimated that
as much more is in sight. The ore
body follows the grass roots along,
and for several days the novel sight of
mining gold ore with teams and scrap
ers was seen at the mine. The surface
was stripped to depth of a foot or
more, which revealed the ore body,
with its thousands of dollars worth of
free gold. Grantz, the owner, resides
in his cabin at the mine, and his wife
lives in Deadwood. As fast as the ore
is mined it is hauled down to Dead.
wood and carefully slowed away in
sacks in spare room, which is guard
ed by Mrs. Grantz. The ore is so rich
that Grantz will not let it go to the
stamp mill for treatment, but he in
tends to crush it and pan it out him
self. The pulp will then be sent to
the reduction works.-Chicago Tribune.

NEW PATRIOTIC SOCIETY.
First Annual Reunion of Spanish>Ameri>
 can War Volunteers.

Colonel NJ. H. McCord yesterday re- ceived communication from Colonel William Lillier, secretary of the Span- ish-American War Volunteers, inform ing him of the time and place of hold ing the first national encampment and reunion of the organization. It will take place at Washington. D. C., on September 4.6 of this year. This or ganization was formed at Lexington, Ky, last fall. Its headquarters are at Lancaster. Pa. Its official board and its committees are composed of the most prominent officers in the volun- teer service during the war with Spain. General Joseph H. Wheeler is chairman of the executive committee. Colonel McCord is member of the list of department commanders.
 This organization will naturally sue ceed to the place now occupied by the Grand Army of the Republic, which, in the ordinary course of events, must expire within the next few years. But if the Grand Army could be perpetu- ated, there would still be room in this country for two such great patriotic societies.-Republican.

An admission fee of 9 cents will be charged for this lecture, the proceeds to go to the cost of organizing Uni versity Extension Association for Flagstaff. A brief meeting will be held ut the close of the lecture, for the purpose of completing such an Organi- zatiOn.

taken a fancy to monaghan. He in
vited the Illinois boy to go along. The
party which set out shortly after for
Cripple Creek was composed of Bes-
hears, his son Marion, Mooneyham,
Bales and Miller. One evening Bes-
hears came in and told young Mooney
ham he had staked out a claim for him
upon the side of the mountain. The
next day monaghan climbed up there
and dug his assessment" The law
was that a man must dig down to the
rock the first year in order to hold the
claim, but the custom of the region,
which was a greater thing than the
law, was that a man by digging down
ten feet acquired undisputed right to
a claim, and it would have been haz-
arding life to jump. such claim. So
young Moone.ham dug down ten feet.
When the party had reached Cripple
Creek Monaghan had felt disappoint-
ed. He had half expected to see men
going about the mountain side picking
up gold in baskets, much as apples
would be picked up In Illinois. When
he saw Beshears breaking off bits Of
rock with a small hammer and scan
ming them eagerly through a magni-
flying glass he was Disguised. But he
came to know that there might be
much gold where even the magnifying
glass showed none, and after he had
dug his assessment on the ore claim
he staked out half a dozen others and
dug his assessment on all of them.
In Colorado Springs monaghan had
an uncle, Daniel Threlkeld, a hard
working man with family. Threlkeld
could not go to Cripple Creek, but once

years ago he would be many times a
millionaire now. The slice of earth was
half way up the rugged front of Bull
mountain in Colorado. 1t is now known
as the Isabella gold mine, and the dis
patches have told how the present own
ers are taking out the precious metal
almost in solid chunks.
Mr.. monaghan Staked the Isabella
claim early in 1890. He gave it away in
the fall of 1890 to his uncle, Daniel
Threikeld, now of Manitou Springs
Colo, Mr.. Threlkeld sold it for 81 500
The men who purchased it from him af-
forwards sold it for $500, 900. Now it is
turning out free gold ore which is snid
to run $5OO,OO to the ton. Mr.. Mooney
ham was one of the first to reach Grip
pie Creek. The population of the town
was less than a dozen when he arrived
there. Among the few was a poor man
named Stratton. He is now called
Millionaire Stratton. Mr.. Monaghan,
then a boy of 10, had been sent TO Colo

in Franklin county, Illinois. for the
healing of his lungs He was working

you stated that you were indicted

yes"
what time was that proceeding
brought?"
About the last week in December, a
couple of weeks after the shooting
Did you give as reason for object
ing to Jones going on vacation, that
you would have to do his work; that
you never had worked and would not
begin now"
No; 1 never said anything of the
kind; have worked all my life"
State what complaint Jones made to
you about not receiving pay for keeping
the state treasurer's books?"
The bank never agreed to pay Jones
one cent for doing Chipman's work, the
pay was to come to Jones when the
legislature made provision for a clerk
for the state treasurer
Did Jones complain to you about
Chapman not paying him?"
Yes, frequently, after the legisla-
ture made the appropriation of $25 a
month for a clerk, Jones complained to
me that Chapman had not paid him,
and he called him an old hog"

TO PRESENT AUTHORITIES.

authorities and to argue more fully for
The admission of the testimony to show
what Stoutt's reasons were for telling
Pratt in the first instance that he did
not know who shot him. The court had
two or three times, during the trial,
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-04-08

ruled against the admission OF the tes-
timony in questie-. but Mr.. Putnam
said that he thought he could convince
the court that it is competent testi-
mony. His honor said he was always
willing to be convinced, and would
overrule himself if it was shown that
he had made a mistake. In order to
give Mr.. Putnam an opportunity to
present authorities, court will convene
at O'Clock this morning, one hour ear
lier than usual, and an effort will be
made to get the case to the jury to-
day
Stout stated at the preliminary
hearing that he was so i'll at the time
when Pratt asked him who shot him
that he did not remember what reDly
he made, and as a further explanation
of his statement to Pratt he did not
know who his assailant was, if he had
made such statement, he said that
he was afraid that If it got out that
Jones shot him there would be a run
on the bank and he would be ruined.
DR.. Pinkerton afterwards told him that
he was very liable to die, or at least
be unconscious for a long time, and, In
view of that he then told Pratt that it
was Jones who shot him.

when Monaghan went to see him he
said:
Bob, stake me out a claim up there
and dig the assessment, and will pay
you for your labor
BY the end of the year the young
man had saved up almost $1,000. As
Christmas drew near he became a little
homesick and prepared to journey back
to Illinois on a visit. He had been EN-
ployed SO steadily that he had not
found time to stake out claim for
his uncle, SO he turned over to him the
claim half way up the east slope of
Bull mountain. The uncle wanted to
pay him for the work he had done on
1t, but he said:
ooh, never mind. If it pans out any,
thing you're welcome to it,
1t had always been MoOneyham' S ar
dent desire to become a lawyer. When
he returned home his parents did not
want him to go back TO the life of the
mountain camp. They placed before
him the opportunity to study law. He
embraced it, went to McKendree coll
lege at Lebanon, graduated with hon
ors, and is now one of the most sue
cessful young practitioners of Belle
vile.
The year after Monaghan left Grip
pie Creek his uncle went up and devel-
oped the claim enough to show that it
was a good one. But he lacked means,
and when somebody offered him 81, 900
and a dozen head of horses for it he
accepted the offer.
