the members of the company we're DIR.

Jos. A. Gumm. To the intellectual en-
terprise and perseverance of these gen

Col Pichard has been interested in the
Jicarillas since 1879, when he with
others. visited the placers and located
a number of claims in Ancho Gulch,
which latter became the property of
the Jicarilla Placer Company of which
he was one of the principal organizers,
aud then passed to the American Plac-
er Company with other properties of
the home company when the recent
sale was made.

time when the Jicarilla Placer Com

Old-Time Views of the Great West.

If Daniel Webster, Senator Benton,
Senator McDutfie aud several others
who have passed over the Great Divide
could again frequent their old earthly
haunts, how ashamed they would be of
some of the speeches they made when
they we're full-grown men, and active
participants in shaping the destiny of
this great nation. Here is what Web
ster once said in referring to the coun-
try west of the Missouri river:
"What do we want with the vast,
worthless areas, this region of savages
and wild beasts, of deserts, of shifting
sands and whirlwinds of dust, of cac-
tus and prairie dogs? To what use
would we ever hope to put these great
deserts or these endless mountain
ranges, impenetrable and covered to
their base with eternal snowg What
can we ever hope to do with the west
ern coast of three thousand miles,
rockbound, cheerless and uninviting,
, and not a harbor on it? What use
have we for such a country? Mr.. Pres
ident, | will never vote one cent from
the public treasury to place the Pacific
coast one inch nearer to Boston than
it is now"
| In 1925 Thomas III. Benton in one of
his speeches in the United States SEN
ate said: "The ridge of the Rocky
mountains may be named as a con-
venient, natural and everlasting boun-
Diary. Along the ridge the western
limits of the republic should be drawn
and the statue of the tabled god Ter
minus should be erected on its highest
peak, never to be thrown down"
In speaking upon the Ashburton'
Webster treaty Senator McDufiie made
greater exhibition of short-sighted'
ness than either Webster or Benton
! Webster would not vote to place the
Pacific coast one inch nearer to Bos'
ton. Benton thought the statue of the
tabled god Terminus should be erected
upon the highest peak of the Rockies
but McDuffie went much further and
then thanked "God for His mercy in
placing the Rocky mountains there,
and wished they were an impassable
/ barrier. He asked: "What is the
character of this country? treferrine
to Oregonl. As understand it, there
are 100 miles this side of the Rocky
mountains that are uninhabitablei
where rain never falls; mountains
wholly impossible, except through gaps
and depressions to be reached only by
going hundreds of miles out of the di'
rect course. Well. now, what are you
going to do in such case? How are
you going to apply steam? Have you
made an estimate of the cost of a rail

able to be out in the yard. After
supper he appeared to be suffering
from fever, and at times his mind
wandered and he appeared drowsy.
The family wanted to send for a
physician, but he told them that he
did not think it necessary. About
8 o'clock he asked for something to
eat, but after his wife fixed him a
little supper he refused to touch it,
because, he said, he had no appetite.
Shortly afterwards he went to his
room, upstairs and went to bed, and
soon went to sleep and was appar-
emily resting well at l0o'clock when
Mrs. Davis looked in upon him Be
tween 10 and II o'clock the family
heard him get up and soon heard a

when he stepped inside the door he
was Mortified to see his father lying
outstretched on the floor. He call

his father and raised his head and
rested it on his knees. Mr.. Kumm,
a neighbor, was called in, and
Drs. WEIGH and Hazelwood

life was extinct. DIR. WEIGH gave
the opinion that death was caused
from the rupture of blood vessel

heart failure. His daughter, Mrs.

A Very Serious Question.
Jonrnal of Health.

Rolls, mullins, biscuit, cake, etc. ;,
now generally made b. the aid Of
baking powder, enter SO largely into
our daily food that their debasement
by the introduction of injurious sub
stances is a matter of serious concern
to the public health. What baking
powder shall we use TO protect our
selves against the danger from alum,
and TO insure pure, wholesome and nu-
tritious food, is a question of vital
Importance for consideration in every
household.
1t is fact that some of the brands
Of baking powders sold from many
grocery stores are made from poison
Gus burnt alum. There are no marks
TO designate them, and both grocer
and purchaser are unaware of their
dangerous character.
Many have suffered from digestive
disorders arising from food made with
alum baking powders. 1t is likewise
believed by physicians that TO the all
sorption of alum into the blood are
due many OF those obscure nervous
diseases from which people suffer.
A pure grape cream OF tarter pow
der is the only kind that can be re-
lied upon, and while it costs a little
more, it Is better TO pay the difference
than to use alum powders which
may ruin your health.
The family expenses cannot be re-
duced in this way. Doctor bills cost
more than the little savings that can
possibly be made by purchasing the
cheap and adulterated brands.

Coal Companies to Get Hold of the
Territory slsO to Hill the New Tn
iontown. Naynesburg Il Wheeling
Railroad Project.
ULiontown News standard.
A. Pittsburg paper OF Wednesday
printed a story on the disappearance
of the Greene county coal, which was
calculated to make nervous feeling
among the coal companies and in
diyidual capitalists who Lave invested
in large bodies OF coal in that county.
Some think there is a scheme be-
hind the story, the purpose being to
enable the Big Pittsburg coal concerns
to buy out the smaller investors at a
low figure.
The story of a fault in the Greene
county field arose from operations Of
the Monongahela River Consolidated
Coal company at the Riveryille mine,
formerly operated by cooperative
concern, which Is located near Fred
ericktown. The main entry OF the
mine had been run nearly a mile,
when the river coal combine started
TO extend it. A short distance farth-
er on the coal cropped out in rock and
series Of borings overhead and under
meath failed TO find it as did investi-
cation of considerable area OF the
neighborhood. O. A. Blackburn,
manager of mines of the Monongahela
River Coal company, has authorized
statement TO this effect in relation
to the RiYerville mine.
Anyhow, Fredericktown and the
mine referred to are in Washington,
not in Greene county.
Concerning the alleged sfault7 of
the Greene county coal field, the Pitts
burg Leader says:
'sHolders of coal property in Wash
ington and Greene counties trea0 the
rumor as absurd and several we'll
known mining engineers OF Pittsburg
are outspoken in denial of the report.
II. l.. McCulley, one of the oldest and
most prominent engineers in the city,
said Some years ago young engineer
fresh from college went out to Finley
vile, a small town in Washington
county, and made survey Of that
coal field; his calculations did not
| turn out TO be exact, but q shaft was
sunk with the result that no coal
could be found. The report gained
circulation that there was no coal ia
that neighborhood. They sent for
me and, after surveying the ground,
we found that they had not sunk the
shaft deep enough, and to-day the
/ field is the ri est in the state. | am
confident that the circumstances are
about the same, as there Is plenty OF
coal in Greene county. 1t is the
Pittsburg seam and the story is all
nonsense. Anyone that knows any
thing about the field will say the
same thing.
Patterson and Neeld, who have
made number of surveys To locate
the coal seam in the Washington.
Greene county field, said they have
had more than SO test holes put down
in the territory in prospecting about
Is, 900 acres aud la no instance did
they fail to strike the coal They
consider that field one Of the most
promising for future fuel supply OF
any In Western Pennsylvania,
