The combination closes a long standing

the failure of Moore Bros. threatened to
involve a wholesale disaster in Chicago
The Liverpool factory of the Diamond
company, which was started in the hey
day Of the company's prosperity. proved
a white elephant on its hands after the
Moore failure
Later the English concern was 7oated
as a. separate company with Ell, 600 COO ($5,-
100000 capital but this hardly helped the
stockholders Of the original company in
hands but the Liverpool factory, under
good management, proved a lucrative
business, cutting largely into the estab-
lished trade of Bryant & May owing to
the superiority of the Beecher machines
over anything in use in England.
Over three years it has been an open
secret that it was the intention of the
Diamond Match company to dispose of its
English branch to Bryant & May One
benefit which Bryant & May obtained be-
sides the cessation of business rivalry is
the use Of the Beecher machines, which
should itself considerably enhance their
working facilities.

Senator Findlay Goes to New

State Senator Robert Findlay, Of
Sterling, spent the Fourth in Topeka.
and left for New York city today.
Senator Findlay is not bothering with
politics these hot days near as much
as with a silver mine in Mexico in
which he became interested by an odd
chance.
About three months ago an aged
man known as Smith came to Senator
FindIay's home. Smith was a Mexican
miner, and had five claims on the
Passo river, not far from Trespedos.
Smith had spent his life about those
mines There was some difficulty with
the title because CT an old Spanish land
grant This was finally brought around
Smiths Wav and he staked his claims.
He tunnelled and struck a good vein of
paying ore. But the old man had a
theory. He was a. man of learning,
geologist, who made a decided impress
sion when he appeared before capital
lists at Kansas City. He wanted to dig
another hundred feet at an angle of As
degrees. There would be found juno
ton of VEINS he had it figured, and
wealth.
Smith bought machinery in Kansas
City and sent it on to Mexico He
stopped in Sterling on his way back
and died there.
He was wrapped up in his theory
more than the getting Of wealth. IF
I could only live to dig the hundred
feet were his last words II would die
happy
Senator Findlay was SO impressed
that he has gone into the venture with
