Henry Wyman Sells the Gold Elsie
to Eastern Capitalists.
PAYMENTS TO BE MADE MONDAY
After Thorough Examination ID. ID. Book
OF New York Concludes to Take
the Property-A Force of Men
to lie Put to Work.

A mining deal of considerable magni,
tude was consummated in this city last
Wednesday, and the Gold Elsie, prom
ising gold property owned by Henry
Wyman of Rock creek, will next week
be formally transferred to New York
capitalists.
The mine is located near Wyman's
ranch on Rock creek, about sixteen
miles west of this city. The ore bodies
are large and easy of access. A good
road leads to the mine and everything
essential for economical mining, such as
timber, water power, etc, is within
easy reach. All mining operations can
be carried on by tunnel and no ex-
pensive hoisting plants are required.
The gentlemen instrumental in max
ing the sale were L. U. Loomis and j.
H. Ortman. Both are we'll known in
this country as mining men of large ex-
perience, ard several excellent prop
critics in this vicinity have through their
influence been purchased by eastern
capitalists. Upon representations made
by them Mr.. D. ID. Book of New York
visited the Rock CT EEK district this week
and made personal examination of the
Gold Elsie, and so favorably was he i'm
pressed with the property that a deal
for the purchase of the same was at
once made. The assays of samples taken
by Mr.. Book are said to have been
highly satisfactory, and after examin-
ing the county records, which show a
perfect and clear title, deeds were drawn
up and forwarded to Butte bank, to be
delivered upon payment of the purchase
price agreed upon, which will probably
be not later than Monday or Tuesday of
next week.
After making all arrangements, Mr..
Book i'll company with Messrs. Ortman
and Loomis, departed Wednesday after
noon for Butte.
The plans for working the mine have
not been learned, but it is understood |
that force Of men will at once be pu,
on and that plant for treating the ore
will be erected in the spring.
Mr.. Book has secured several options
on several adjoining properties which
will undoubtedly be taken up.
The sale OF the Gold Elsie means much
for the Rock creek district. There are
many promising mines in that section
that would yield handsome returns if
opened up. The only drawb back is the
lack of sufficient capital to do this.
Since the start has been made however,
it will be less difficult to induce men of
means to invest their money in Rock
creek mines, and there is bright
future for that district.

A Scheme That Would Fail.

A late magazine article says when a
young man in the Transvaal goes to see
his best girl the mother puts a mark on
the candle and when it burns that far
he must go. That would not work in
Phlllpsburg. The Young man here
would beat that game by blowing out
the candle.

70 STUDY CIVIC MATTERS
WORK OF THE YOUNG MEMS
RESEARCH CLUB.
Special Meeting Called for Next Fri
day Evening, at Which the Subject
Will be Formally Presented.

The Young Mems Research Club has
taken up the subject of municipal needs
in an earnest way. The subject has
been before the club at nearly every
meeting for some time past. Now a
special meeting has been called to fur
Their consider the subject, as the fol-
lowing notice, just issued to members
by the secretary, Percy NJ. Pond, more
fully sets forth:
There will be a special meeting OF
the members of the Young Mems Re
search Club and invited friends on Fri
day evening, April goth, at 1880 p. m.
at the residence of Rev. w. NJ. Kincaid
Nuuanu street
The subject before the meeting is the
advisability of forming a Young Mems
Municipal Club, and if wise, the most
desirable method of doing so.
The discussion will be opened with
two twelve minute talks:
Municipal Leagues as Independent
Parties, by f. NJ. Boyd.
Municipal Leagues as Aids to Party
Organization, by T. McCants Stewart
With view to placing the matter
more formally before the house, the
committee appointed at the last meet
Ing will make report with recommen-
dations.
In order that the discussion following
this report may be as general and COM
plete as possible, it will be necessary
that remarks be concise and addressed
to the point before the house. The
committee would suggest a three min.
ute rule rigidly adhered to as a practical
method to this end
You are earnestly invited to be pres.
ent and to take part in the discussion
of this important question.

GUAM SFUTURE Governor
THE ISLAND EXPECTED TO BE
VERY IMPORTANT.
Mercantile Coaling Station to be Es-
tablished-All Transports to Call.
Sketch of Schroeder.

The interest with which the islet Of
Guam has been favored since the
Spanish war has appeared to be due
rather to Captain Leary, it's pictures
que naval governor, than to any claim
that the bit of land itself has been able
to make to fame. Now the dispatches
tell us that the natives are to be en-
trusted to new governor, Commander
Seaton Schroeder. Captain Leary is
coming home at his own request, and
it is said to be due to his energy in put
ting the islands affairs into good con-
dition that the Navy Department now
entrusts the post to an officer of lower
rank. The Washington correspondent
of the Associated Press says:
The Navy Department expects a
great future for Guam in commercial
way, Besides being a naval station,
all the Pacific army transport are eX-
pected hereafter to touch at the island
on the voyage to and from Manila, the
projected Pacific cable will have a
station there, a mercantile coaling-
station will, it is thought, soon be es-
tablished, and this will attract mer-
chant vessels, so that Guam will be-
come a regular port of call for the
shipping in the Eastern seas. Com
mander Schroeder expects to sail on
the Solace from San Francisco for Gu
am about the middle of May and will
relieve Captain Leary before July"
During the war with SPAIN Comman-
der Schroeder was executive officer of
the battle-ship Massachusetts. He
was appointed to Annapolis by Presi-
dent Lincoln in 1864, at the age of fif-
teen, entering at the same time as
Commander Wainwright, the present
| superintendent of the Academy, who
was also one of President Lincoln's APP
pointees. Wainwright and Schroeder
were close friends, and soon after gra-
duation Schroeder married Vain
wrights sister. Commander Schroeder
will take his wife and children to Gu
am with him, it is said and they ex-
pect to remain there at least two years

This morning soon after the I. S.
& N. passenger train pulled out, ,:and
before it had whistled for the cross
ing the porter at the main depot,
found halt dozen big 'coons"
asleepin the colored waiting room.
He aroused them and asked them
what train they were going on, and
learned they all had return tickets
over the 7. S. & N. He told them
to get move on themselves ard
make a run for the tall timber south
of the depot, and they could head
off the train, otherwise they would
be delayed a good "a hours. The
coons came out of the depot and
meeting Superintendent Kress, told
of their misfortune. The ghost of
the Shreveport excursion' rose be-
fore the Superintendent, and he
would have given half OF bis months
salary could he have sent one of
wireless kilograms to the engineer
to back up and get his "dreamers"
aboard, but as such could not be
done, he, too advised the coons to
burn the air and head off the train
south of town, and away they went.
whether they caught on or not, we
have not been advised.
