fairy who furnished The money to Mrs.
Tabor for the purpose Of redeeming the
Matchless mine has been found. His
name is w. S. Stratton, the millionaire
mine owner of Cripple Creek.
The Herald correspondent has
learned on the highest authority that
Mr. StrattOu had listened 10 the ap-
peals of the wife Of the late Senator
Tabor and that she will be provided
with ample means to carry out her
cherished scheme in regard to the once
famous Matchless mine. A few days

For the last few years Mrs Tabor has
been making every effort to redeem
the Matchless property, which would
have passed out OF her hands and be-
yond the possibility Of redemption on
July A.
Once more Mrs. Tabor placed the
matter before Mr.. StTattOu. He made
an examination of her title and found
that with the exception Of the Newell
Page judgment her title was entirely
clear. lie at once agreed to take up
the judgment. He has not only done
this, but has provided ample means
to carry on exploration work.
Title to Mrs. Tabor.
The important fact connected with
this arrangement is that the absolute
title to the property viii be in the
name of Mrs. Tabor, who came to
Leadviue to make this her home. 1t
