REPUBLIC.

One picked sample of the Morning
Glory went $4,000 in gold.
The Mountain Lion mill is again
crushing ore, and works to perfection.
A larger mill is needed on the Six
teen-to-One plant at Wallace, Idaho,
and it is to be increased at once.
1t is reported that another 100 feet
Of tunnel will be run Immediately on
the Black Horse. The property lies
been driven on it 70 feet.
The machinery for the Chico mine
is all on the ground and the boiler has
been set in position. Masons are at
work on the rock and brick work. The
engine will be installed Immediately.
Six feet of fine looking quartz has
been exposed in a 10-foot shaft on rne
Wild Horse. Plans are being perfected
to develop the property in a systematic
manner. Fair values have been OBJ
tanned from the ore.
The mill floors are being taken up
and burned and the ashes from them
sacked for the recovery of gold dust
which the boards had absorbed. This,
it is said, will realize for the company
hundred collars per day towards the
expense of building the new plant.
The new working shaft on the Butte
4 Boston mine is down IS feet, and
sinking continues at the rate of 10
feet per week. The company is en-
ploying six miners on two 10-hour
shifts, three men working on each
shift, two in the shaft and one on top,
landing the bucket.
At the Princess Maud there are 20
men on the pay roll. The mine is
worked on three S-hour shifts. The
winze is down 118 feet. The south
drift is being pushed ahead as rapidly
as possible. Superintendent Lane
thinks the mine is now good enough to
stand on it's own bottom.
The Wauconda is about IA miles west
OF Republic, at the head of Granite
creek, on the summit of the divide that
separates the waters of the San Poll
from the Okanogan. Specimens of ore
have been encountered in the crosscut
that is being driven at a distance OF
2l5 feet from the mouth of the tunnel
were assayed and showed $40 in sill
yer and $47.53 in gold, or total value
OF $49.63 per ton. The Wauconda has
always been held in high esteem by
mining men, and it now looks as
though their predictions that it would
develop into a great mine will shortly
be verified

HAS LETTERS TO SHOW

New York, March 2.-Tom O'Rourke
said two or three days ago that he had
$1,000 with which to back his man in
another match with Choynski. He has
other things of rather an uncomplimen-
tary nature to say of the Californian.
This fellow Choynski," he said today
'is without a doubt a poor loser. and,
Furthermore, one of the greatest and
most uncertain fighters in the ring. He
offered to fake a fight at the LenOx
Athletic club with Gus Rubin a year
ago and I have still got his letter in
which he made the proposition.
Joe was matched to fight Rubin at
my club and after I wired him that the
match was arranged he wired back ask
ing me If 1 would put up his forfeit of
$3.50. I consented to do so and a week
before the fight came off he sent me a
letter saying he was sick and could not
go on.
L Immediately wired him telling him
that as 1 had $3.50 posted for him I
would lose it unless he fought. He there
upon sent me the letter to which I re-
fer, and in which he stated that he
would come on and fight in order to
save my money, but would quit in the
first round and get the losers end of
the purse.
L was not satisfied with his sugges-
tiOn and declared the contract off. I
offered Billy Madden, manager of Run
lin the forfeit of $3.50. but he refused to
take it.

TERROR TO RATS.

IF'rom the Independence Reporter.l
One of W. NJ. Wade's ferrets was turn
ed loose in the chicken house back of
the store this morning for a few mo-
ments and the way he went after the
rodents was the greatest entertainment
that has been given in Independence
this winter.
The little animal went into rat hole
in the floor and in a short time the noise
and scuffiing under the floor indicated
that a merry war was in progress. Rats,
large and small, ran from under the
building in all directions. and quite a
number were killed with sticks when
they made their appearance. After the
ferret had been enjoying himself about
five minutes the floor was opened in
several places and dozen or more dead
rodents were removed, and the destroy

Rapid Career of Fifteen Y Year-Old
Grass Widow Lands Her in Jail

Chanute, March 2.-Constable Sam
Manatt has returned from Virgil with
two prisoners. Richard Butter. an 1S-
year-old boy and Lottie Crowl. They
We're arrested on the charge of horse
stealing. The horse stolen belongs 20
DR.. Barker, and is one he prizes highly.
No trace of the horse could be found
at Virgil. The girl and the boy both
say that they did not take it.
The prisoners were taken before
Judge Beatty. They waived the prelim-
mary trial, and We're both bound over
to the district court, under 81, 900 bond.
and were taken down to Jail at Erie.
The girl seems to be much attached
to young Butler, and said in Judge
Beatty's office that she wanted to go to
the penitentiary if Dick had to go. The
parents of the boy are said to be very
respectable people. The girl is only Is
years old and is a grass widow. She
said her husband lived with her five
months and then left her. When asked
the reason she left home she said Dick
couldn't stay, so she wouldn't.

KID MCCOY TO RETIRE.
The Noted Boxer Goes Into the Sa-
loon Business in Gotham.

New York, March At looks as
though Kid Mccoy intended to get out
of the fighting business. Mccoy has
rented a place on Broadway and is
soon to blossom out as a. saloon keeper.
When priZefighterS of championship
caliber retire from the business they
usually set up a Champions Rest as
witness the resorts of Sullivan and Cor
bett on Broadway and the various es-
Establishments of other old champions
now taking things easy in other parts
of the world.
McCoy's announcement that he is go
ing into the saloon business, coming on
the heels of Choynski's fearful defeat
at the hands of WaIcott, is suspicious,
to say the least.
1t was only the other day that Choyn-
ski made a football of Mccoy and
ChOynski's sudden and decisive defeat
by WalcOtt must have made Mccoy feel
awful cheap, if indeed it did not lead
to his determination to get out of the
business as quick as possible.
Perhaps Mccoy is wise in retiring at
this time. He may be a counterfeit
and all that, but so far he has made
a wonderful record in the ring and the
only time a decision was ever given
against him was when luck cut a de-
cided figure and again when he was
matched against man away his su-
perior in weight. McCoy's record in
cludeS victories over such good boxers
as Tommy Ryan, Joe Choynski, Peter
Maher Mysterious Billy Smith, George
La Blanche, Australian Billy Smith,
Dan Creedon and many others. He
was defeated only by Billy Stiffers, who
knocked him out in one round, and
who he afterwards defeated in 10
rounds; by Ted White, in England, in
10 rounds; by Jack Mccormack, who
accidentally knocked. him out at Chi
cago, and by Tom Sharkey. In fact,
out of over a hundred battles. Mccoy
has lost but four and two of these de-
feats were wiped out later by victories
over the very men that had previously
beaten him.
McCoy's very worst showing was
made when he met Choynski, although
he obtained the decision in that battle
and it was perhaps his poor showing
then and Choynskis subsequent dis
graceful defeat at the hands of Wal
colt that led to McCoy's getting out of
the business at this particular time.

A SIMPLE FARMER.
Swindled Out of His Farm by a
Smooth Stranger.

Fort Scott, March 2.-William A. Far
mer, living near MapletOn, has en-
ployed Keene & Gates TO bring suit
against H. E. Ward for the possession
of a 100 acre tract of land, which he
claims was obtained through fraud,
and action was begun in district court
yesterday afternoon.
The story told by Mr. Farmer, and
as set up in the petition, shows that he
was the victim of what appears to be a
confidence game. On February l, 1900,
Mr.. Ward appeared at Mr. Farmers
place and made a proposition to pur-
chase the $50 acre farm, which was to
the effect that he (Ward) would trade
him $50 acre farm in Norton county,
purported to be well improved and to
be worth $1,600, and give him two $500
mortgage bonds issued by the Cheraw
& Chester Railroad company of South
Carolina. The deal was closed under
these terms and Mr. Farmer executed
the deed. After having filed the deed
here Mr.. Ward left and has not been
heard of since. After making an in
vestigation it was found that the land
in Norton county was not as represent
ed and that the bonds were practically
worthless.

The New Discovery for Catarrh Seems
to Possess Remarkable Merit.

The New Discovery for Catarrh Seems
to Possess Remarkable Merit.
"a new catarrh cure has recently ap-
peared which so far as tested has been
remarkably successful in curing ali
forms of catarrh, whether in the head,
throat, brOncial tubs, or in stomach and
liver.
The remedy is in tablet form, pleas
ant and convenient to take, and no
special secrecy is maintained as to wnat
1t contains, the tablets being a scient1hc
combination Of Guaiacol. Eucalyptol'
Sanguinaria, ,Hydrastin and similar val
liable and harmless anti-SeptIcS
This safe and effective catarrh cure
may be found at any drug store under
name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
Whether the catarrh is located in the
nose, throat, bronchial tubes or stomach
Hhe tablets seem to act with equal sue
cess, removing the stuffy feeling in head
and nose, clearing the mucous mem
brane of throat and trachea from ca
tarrhal secretions, which cause the tick
ling. coughing, hawking and gagging so
annoying to every catarrh sufferer.
Nasal catarrh generally leads to ul-
ceratiOn. in some cases to such an eX-
tent as to destroy the nose entirely and
in many old cases of catarrh the bones
of the head become diseased. Nasal ca
tarrh gradually extends to the throat
and bronchial tubes and very often to
the stomach. causing that very obsti-
nate trouble, catarrh of the stomach.
Catarrh is a systematic poison, inher-
ent in the blood. and local washes,
douches, salves, inhalers and sprays can
have no effect on the real cause OF the
disease. An internal remedy which acts
upon the blood is the only rational
treatment and StuarL's Catarrh Tablets
is the safest of all internal remedies, as
well as the most convenient and salts
factory from a medical standpoint.
DR.. Eaton recently stated that he had
successfully used Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's in old chronic cases, even where ul-
ceration had extended so far as to de-
strOy the septum of the nose. He says:
Il am pleasantly surprised almost ev-
cry day by the excellent results from
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. It is remark
able how effectually they remove the
excessive secretion and bring about
a healthy condition of the mucous
membranes of the nose. throat and
stomach"
All druggists sell complete treatment
of the tablets at so cents and little
book giving the symptoms and causes
Of the various forms of catarrh will be
mailed free by addressing F. A. Stu
art Co.. Marshall. Mich.
