The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-10-20

Believing that a good fight in a good
cause is always worthy of admiration,
Cyrus Townsend Brady is doing some
of his best work in these narratives Of
what he calls our battle history. This
volume is the second of a series, uni
form in treatment and purpose, Of
which American Fights and Fighters
was the first. 1t consists of a collec-
ton of stories of exploration, adventure
and battle on the American continent
prior to the War of the Revolution.
Ar interesting estimate of the char
acter and career of General Braddock
is given. 1t is at variance with the
opinion usually entertained by histori-
cal writer's, and shows that Mr.. Bra
dy's stories" are written only after
careful research and after the consid-
Grafton of a wide range of data.

This is a new and elegant edition Of
Gilbert Hubbards THE Story of John
Brown" The Illustrations are superb.
The letter-press is one Of the best
samples of Putnam's work.
Gilbert Hubbard's brilliant treatment
of this subject is well known. The
dramatic history of John Brown has
been skillfully told by Gilbert Hubbard.
Whether Hubbard has left true pic
ture of Brown is a different matter.
Whether he wished to make a picture
of the real Brown or to form an ideal
character for the Americans to cherish
is for US to guess.
The whole ethics of the historical
novel is a great puzzle.

The FL dorado Gold Mining company.
late corporation, owning valuable claims
at Malheur City, Is laying plans for an
extensive development work, and soon
another Of eastern Oregon's gold mines
will be worked aud opened on a large
scale.
The Democrat learns from a reliable
source that the company will within a
few weeks commence operations on its
property more extensively than ever. II
Is the intention Of the company to push
development work and increase the mill
capacity sufficiently to handle and treat
all the ore taken from the mine upon the
ground. Good authority SAYS that the
property OF the III Dorado company Is des.
tined to become one Of the big producers
Of eastern Oregon. The ore Is tree mill.
Ing and mu,h Of II shows gold to the eye.
Many tons of this ore In the bins will
average several hundred dollars to the

a short time since new and rich strike
was made. Two OF the assays made gave
a result OF sI,Iss.s8 and sIo,ao7.7o. This
was an average OF four and fourteen

property TO be very promising one.
The officers Of the FL Dorado Gold
Mining company are all respected citizens
OF Baker City, and are thorough business

~ HE Gypsy KING GOLD MINES
! COMPANY owns three fullclaims
and water right on Big Limber
Creek, in the Gable Cove district.
. The ledge has been stripped for
two hundred feet from the water
- course and traced by means of
| open cuts to the summit of the
LL-I mountain, 3ooofeet, or the length
of two claims
The company is capitalized at 81 ,ooo,-
900, one-quarter of which is treasury
stock.
So far as prospected by these surface
workings the ledge has an average width
of seven feet. The ore is an iron pyrites
carrying gold, GtS principal value), some
silver and small per cent of lead and
copper. Thirty or forty assays of this
surface ore have been made, from sam
pies taken across the vein, and the low
est returns were $I4.6I. the highest
$4,000, averaging better than $40.
Across the creek, on the Gypsy Queen
group, where extensive development
work is being done on the same ledge,
by Boston company, at depth of 90
feet, samples from across the face of the
tunnel asSayed $64.o2. These workings
demonstrate that the per centage of lead
increases with depth, as we'll as the gold
values, making the ore easy to treat.
The Gipsy King Gold Mines Company
will begin at an early day to drive tlln-
mel, which will cut the vein at distance
from its mouth of from 50 to 90 feet and
at depth of about 8 feet. When the
tunnel reaches the ledge, it will turn and
drift from that point in ore that will
doubtless pay to ship.
For the purpose OF raising funds with
which to prosecute this work, the first
stock offered for sale has been placed
upon the market. Fifty thousand shares
are now offered at FIVECENTS, no more
nor no less. When this is disposed of
the price will be raised. Every share of
stock, except that placed in the treasury,
is pooled for one year from January /,
1901, so that this statement can be relied
upon as strictly true, The market will
never be flooded with Gipsy King stock.
Orders for blocks of less than 900 shares
are not solicited.
All money should be sent to the treas
urer of the company, }. n. Robbins, who

P~UNCTUALITY
A VIRTUE

If there is one virtue more than an
Dther womankind ought to cultivate
It is punctuality. Not one mi in
Ten knows the value of promptness,
and the sex suffers from it. This femi-
nine fault has stood in the path of
Advancement in business. 1t has de-
prived more than one innocent woman
Of a bit of pleasure which men could
and would give if they were not thor
oughly out of patience with the man
ner in which punctuality is regarded.
The mischief begins at home, when
boys come to know the faults Of the
women of their family. After many
trying experiences with mother and
sisters, they learn to class all women
in the careless set, and girls who may
be exceptions suffer because they can-
their virtues. Business women have
made a stride in the direction of i'm
provement. They have been forced to
It by the necessity of bread winning.
They are not yet perfect in the knowl-
edge or practice of punctuality be-
cause they are often late to business,
and more often are utterly oblivious

Cockneys
Die Out

There was a startling three-line
statement in some recent London pa
pers. 1t declared that the slum-born
Londoner died out at the third gen.
Grafton. DR.. Harry Campbell, the
eminent Wimpole street physician,
was the author of the statement, and a
representative called on him to learn
whether there were not exaggeration
in an affirmation SO tersely put. But
apparently it had not suffered by be-
ing torn from a context. SIN the
lower classes" says DIR. Campbell,
there can be no doubt that the fam
lily line never passes beyond the third
generation of the slum born and bred.
If you get a third generation at all you
will find that the individual is puny
and wien and that he is on the high
road to racial extinction. He really
cannot propagate the species. 1t Is
difficult, however, to find children
whose parents and grandparents were
slum born and bred. People are con-
tinually coming in from the country,
drifting Ito the slums, and carrying a
fresh lease Of life to this part of the
population of great cities" Dr..
Campbell holds that the environment
obtaining in the central part of all
large towns is necessarily fatal owing
to the lack of sunlight and fresh air.
He concurs in Mr.. Cantlies' statement
that fresh country air has not blown

fifty, or it may be even a hundred

beautiful crystalline appearance. This
is nearly 100 pounds per minute per
minute. The beets here reach perfect
maturity, with a very high percentage.
Beets seldom go below 15 per cent; IL
per cent is taken as the basis Of buy
ing beets at the factory.
The beets are grown by the farmers
under contract with the factory and
content determined by chemical tests
made of samples taken from the wa
CONS at the time of delivery. Besides
that, the factory controls about 5000
acres of laid. Most of this land will
be farmed by tenants, but only a. por-
ton of each leasehold is devoted to
beets each year. Beet raisers sell their
beets based upon the sugar content.
The tests somewhat resemble the as
saying OF ore from the mines. Selling
upon this basis encourages better
farming and the raising of better
beets. 1t is the only fair way, both
to the raiser and the manufacturer. At
Sugar City a farm of IL, 1000 acres has
been opened for raising sugar beets,
and a sugar factory has been built
with a capacity of 500 tons every "a
hours. On the farm 1000 men and wo-
men have been employed during the
summer, and this seasons crop will
be converted into sugar which will be
sold in various big markets. The es-
Establishment of the sugar factory at
this point built the town, which a few
years ago consisted of a hut or two
and thousands of prairie dogs, sum

beets will be in cultivation. The out
put will be increased as rapidly as pos
sible, and every day the demand for
workmen is now increasing.-Denver

BEET SUGAR

The operation of the National Beet

suited in the completion of three
plants, one of which produces sugar
from last seasons crops. They are To-
Gated at Grand Junction, Rocky Ford,
and Sugar City. When all are we'll

employed and the money thus put into
circulation will go into the common
Golfers of the people. The worlds pro-

now about $3.50, 900 tons per annum,
two-thirds of which is produced from
beets and the other fraction from SUI
gar cane 1t Is estimated that the
normal consumptive demand is in
creasing at the rate Of $50, 900 tons
yearly. Statistics indicate that this

grimy, swathy, stalwart blacksmith
swaying on the handle with one hand
while he gently pokes the burning coal

no smoke here and no flying sparks,

breadth and depth of chest, very slen-
der of limb and possessing unusually
large feet and hands, they exhibit a
bodily activity such as can hardly be
equaled by any other people on the
face of the earth. The skin of their
feet and lower legs is so hard and
calloused as to resemble the hide Of
a horse or camel, so that they are
able to run through cactus thickets
SO thorny as to stop horses and dogs,
or over beds of stones so sharp that
the very coyote avoids the trail. One
of the strangest things about these
saVages is that they seem to have no
knife sense, as one might call it. In
other words they never think of US
ing a cutting tool under any circum-
stances. If they capture an animal and
kill it they do not cut it into pieces,
but prefer to tear it to fragments with
their hands and teeth, breaking he
larger bones, perhaps, with a stone. I
have known them to adopt this meth
cd with a horse, throwing the brute
so as to break it's neck, and then set
ting upon the carcass literally with
tooth and nail. A leg Of a COW will
furnish a family with food for some
days, and when anybody happens to
be hungry he takes a chew at it, tear

animal might do"
