Gen. Lawton's Heroism Earned . soO,.
900 Legacy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-General
Lawton's heroism earned a legacy
Of $50 600 for his family. He died
with the fear haunting him that
they would have only "A mortgaged
home and a pension OF $500 a year.
They have, in fact, means that will
enable them to live in comfort.
This has been accomplished, prac-
tically without organization, in less
than a month.
Active work in behalf OF the fund
has ceased. Funds that have not
been reported and unsolicited sub
scrlptions that will come in after
this time will, those in charge of the
fund say, increase i, to $50, 900.
Adjutant-gen. Corbin and Com
missary-gen. Weston, both old
friends of Lawton, originated the
movement. All the people knew
of Lawton's lion hearted service for
his country and when they were
told of the family's needs they did
the rest.
Originally the purpose was 10
pay the mortgage-about 81 800.
From the first day it was evlden,
that the people were willing to dc
more. They seemed to have in
mind the future of the family.
All classes are represented in the
list of subscribers, except the army
contractors the men who have
grown rich through the war by fur
nishing supplies to the army. More
money was contributed to the FUND
in three weeks than came to the
Dewey fund in six months. The
conditions, however, were not the
same. The Dewey fund was no
started until year after he wor
his victory, and the necessity was
not so great as in the LAYTON case.
1t is proposed to place $4,000
Of the Lawton fund in the hands o
a committee comprising Secretar.
of War Root, j. Pierpont Morgan
and one other, to be invested at
per cent. The 81 500 will be uset
TO pay the mortgage and the bal
ace will be given to Mrs. LawtoI
for her immediate needs. She vii

SILVER CITY NOTES.
Four Aces Encounters Good Ore

Especial Correspondence
Silver City. March 24.-It certainly
begins to look as if the Four Aces may
at any time encounter an ore chute of
permanence and volume which Will en-
able them to extract ore from terri
tory not in controversy or dispute.
Last week superintendent Thomas q.
Coale sent out two carloads Of very
good ore, and he has two more cars Of
the same material ready for shipment.
This product has been obtained on the
400 and 500 Levels northeastern Of the
shaftway. Mr.. Coale maintains that
recent prospecting has disclosed graft
flying conditions in the -Four Aces.
Manager McGhan of the Rabbits
Foot has had a serious fight with the
water for the past two weeks. but has
finally gotten the flow under control,
and sinking will continue. Though cir
cumStancaa have made it impossi bic TO
lift any ore lately, men have been en-
gagged in cutting mineral in the raise
and winze on the $50 level.
Many recent changes in the Picnic
ground, apparently for the better, have
had a tendency to confirm the owner 8
long standing faith in the ultimate out
come. Both the raise northerly on the
500 and the crosscut southerly on the
same level reveal ore-making ground.

RESCUE AT SEA.
Man Overheard From Tramp Steamer
Saved at Night.

Saved at Night.
(Fron Aainslee's Magazine.)
Notwithstanding their hard lives
and their 'closeness,' the larger num-
Der Of tramp shippers treat their crews
with great humanity They are gem
orally much affected by the loss of any
OF the ships company, and they have
been known to risk the ship herself to
save the lives Of their shipmates. Per-
haps one Of the most stupendous efforts
at life-saving ever reported at sea was
that performed by Captain William
InnesS Of the freighter British Prince.
His ooatswain, hardy Swede named
Lastadius, while getting bucket Of
fresh water for a tinlid cook, was
picked up by q heavy sea and carried
overheard. AS he swept along the star
board side Of the ship, Captain Inness
saw him and shouted:
Keep up stout heart! We will
save you If we can
1t was getting very dark, and the
toatsWain was three ship lengths
astern before anything could be done
aboard the vessel. He gave himself
up for lost, but kept on swimming. 1t
was impossible to launch a boat. as
the seas were colossal. The captain
had just finished his supper when ne
saw the hoatSwain sweep astern. He
ran toward the bridge, shouting as he
did so to the engineer:
stand by to stop those engines
Then he few to the bridge and laid
his right hand on the telegraph.
Stop and reverse, was flashed to
the engine room, and the captains
voice rang out: All hands to starboard
with lines and buoysr
The captain told about the event
thus: Our only hope in saving him
lay in picking him UP with the ship,
for no boat could live in the sea that
was running. When / backed the ship
down TO him I saw him struggling for
his life. He had the buoy that the sec
ond officer had thrown to him under his
arms. and his body was wei out Of
water. 1 determined to save him If he
could hold out and / could fetch him
alongside We missed him the first
time, and he was carried around the
bow to the port side. He kept shout
ing, and we answered back. We were
going ahead a bit when he was whirled
TO starboard
AS thu night had well set in, we
doom lost him, but I turned on the
bridge and got the bearing of his voice
by star. 1 kept that star in sight
and put the helm hard astarboard and
bore down in the direction Of the star.
We had lest his voice altogether, but
as we steamed toward the star We
heard it family. We caught sight Of
him too late to pick him up as we
steamed past. so we came up with the
wind again, with the bo's'n on our port
hand We steamed slowly, so that the
men ranged along the port rail, each
with a. life line or a buoy, had chance
at him. knew by the cheer that went
UP that he was saved. He had caught
a line and was hauled aboard. He
chung to the rail. so tightly, net know
ing that ne was saved. that the men
had to pound his hands to break his

An enterprise of gigantic proportions
Is being undertaken in the West Dip
OF Bingham, and representatives of
Boston capital have been looking over
the ground within the past few weeks.
The scheme contemplates the formation
OF what is to be known as the Bing-
ham West Dip Tunnel company, and
Aiilando Pratt, who is in touch with
what is going on, said yesterday that
plans will soon be perfected, and the
new company incorporated.
Ground comprising several hundred
acres, lying parallel with the Ensign
group of mining claims. Mr.. Pratt says,
has already been secured, and just
as soon as the company is thoroughly
organizedit is the intention to commence
the work of development by starting a
tunnel, which it is proposed to run for
4 distance Of four miles, commencing
at the base of the mountain, on the
west side Of the Oquirrh range, at an
altitude Of $500 feet, and running
Routheasterly beneath the divide be-
tween Tooele and Salt Lake counties,
whose summit is $500 feet above the
sea, or 200 feet above the proposed
tunnel line.
The purpose Of the enterprise is not
only TO open up the mineral resources
OF the company's territory. but also to
tap the mineral zones on the east side
OF the mountains. Another feature Of
the undertaking is to drain the mines
on the camp. thus affording the means
Tor retaining thousands Of acres Of
desert lands on the west side Of the
Oquirrh range. which today are value
less for the want of moisture, but
Which could be made into one of the
most fertile spots in the state If the
plans of the proposed company are car
fied out.
The scheme involves an immense out
lay Of capital, but Mr.. Pratt believes
the plan win succeed, and the results
that would come from such an under
taking are enormous.
