SENATE GROUP OF MINES.
REPORTED SALE OF GROUP FOR
$25O,OOO.
Mines Are Situated in the Moose Lake
District-French Syndicate
Interested.

1t is reported today that the Senate
group of copper mines in the Moose Lake
district has been sold for $250.00 to a
French syndicate. If not sold to the
French syndicate, it is said w. A. Clark
will pay that price any day the owners
will make the transfer. The first claim
of the Senate group of mines was located
by Al Stevens in June, 1897. Later,
Thomas Leary, Frank Lacey 1now de-
ceased), Ed Darling and e. Kramer be-
came his partners and the claims they
afterwards located are known as the
Senate group. taking it's name from the
principal claim, or mine. The ore in the
claims runs high in copper and contains
other metals with high assays.
Upon the death of Frank Lacey and
the probating of his estate Frank Strick-
fadden and John G. Horne of this city
came into possession of his share in the
mines. Less than year ago the Senats
group was taken under lease and bond
by J. r. Walkup, G. w. Collins, A. w.
Burnett and others for the sum of $l25,
900. They at once began to develop the
mine with a force of men working day
and night. Ever since the Senate mine
was unearthed it gave unusual promise
of a rich property. The owners We're sure

-Construction of Storehouses
and Hospitals.

Washington. May 22.-In answer to
criticisms of it's action in constructing
the short line of railroad from Triscornia,
in the harbor of Havana, to connect with
the inland railways of Cuba, the war
department has made public a report
showing the basis for it's action. The
officials direct particular attention to the
high character of the officers who rec
commended the construction of this rail-
way and to their reasons for building it.
The report is dated in Havana, October
IA, 1898, and is signed by ]. G. 6. Lee,
assistant quartermaster general; Frank
j. Hecker, colonel and quartermaster;
w. r. Livermore. lieutenant colonel of
engineers; r. M. O'Reilly, lieutenant col
onel and chief surgeon; Tasker H. Bliss,
lieutenant colonel and chief cominissary
and Lieut.. Col. John T. Thompson.
The board of officers assembled in Ha-
vana on October u, 1898, and after an
investigation expressed the opinion that
the cities and villages of Cuba We're in

also reached the conclusion that the oc-

to be infected more or less, and therefore
strongly recommended the construc-

FORMERLY UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM COL ORAD0-OcCU
PIED LEADING POST ION IN DENVER SOCIETY,"

Denver, May 22.-Nathaniel P. Hill,
former United States senator from Col
orado, died at noon today of general de-
bility, resulting from stomach trouble.
He was 6s years old.
For almost 35 years Nathaniel P. Hill
occupied leading position in the finan-
cial and social life of Denver and Col
orado. He had amassed one of the great
est fortunes of the state. amounting to
several million dollars. He was the own
er of the Boston & Colorado smelter bet
ter known as the Argo, chief owner of
the oil fields at Florence, Controlled by
the United Oil cmpany, and, wner of q
four-fifths interest in the Denver Re-
publican. He had, besides. large inter-
ests in Colorado and Montana. The
smelter was Mr.. Hills pride. As an in
stance showing the character of the man,
it is related that in the trying times fci-
lowing the panic of 1893, when wages
were being reduced in all lines of indus
try. he refused to allow any reduction NJ
the Argo smeiter.
Mr.. Hill was born in Orange county,
New York. in 1882. His father was an
extensive farmer and was at one time
county Judge. At the age of q the son
entered Brown university. In 1856 he
was made tutor in the chemical de-
M rtment of the universiay and in 1860 he
Was elected professor Of chemistry, con-
tinuing in that position until 1864.
Roston and Providence capitalists
placed at his disposal a sufficient sum to
enable him to make a thorough examina-
ton of the mines OF Gilpin county. Colo

rado. For the purpose of discovering a
more economical method of treating the
ores produced there than those that were
eployed, he visited the reduction works
at Swansea, Wales, and spent many
months studying the methods of ore re-
duction there and elsewhere in Europe. In
the spring of 1867 he organized the Boston
Colorado Smelling Co., and has since de-
voted his energies largely to it's success
full management, mea ntime becoming IN
terested in other business ventures.
In 1879 Mr.. Hill was elected as United
states senator as republican and served
with distinction for six years. He was
defeated for reelection. Mr. Hill was
an earnest advocate of the free coinage
of silver and of postal telegraph sys-
tenn Senator Hill was named by President
Harrison as a member of the Internation-
al Monetary Commission, but the COM
mission never went abroad and 1t accom-
plished nothing for silver.
The home of Senator Hill has been one
of the most prominent in the social life of
the city. Courteous, refined and honor
able, Senator Hill will be remembered as
the personification of all that is eleyatina
and ennobling. He was member and
regular attendant of the First Congrega-
tional church. He had been failing in
health for several years. Ii
Senator Hill leaves a wife and three
children-Crawford Hill, who has been
for several years associated with his ia
ther in business: Mrs. Charles B. Berger
and Miss Isabel Hin.
