its mother in that home beyond the
skies where they will watch and wait
to welcome him home where parting
will be no more.
Funeral services were conducted by

Shot Down On the Streets.

Mexico, Mo August 24.-Lafay-
cite Newkirk. a retired farmer, was
killed in this city by an unknown
party at 10 o'clock tonight. He was
walking west on Monroe street, and
was within block of his home when
he was met by man who fired point
blank in his face Newkirk, accord
irg to eve witnesses, fell forward and
the murderer fired five more shots
into the back OF his head. He died
instantly. Those living near the
scene say that there were no words
passed between the two, and think
the attack was made without parley.
Mr.. Newkirk was 63 years OF age and
leaves a widow and two grown chill
dren. He was known as a man of
means, and thepolice are at a loss to
assign a cause for the murder or to
attach blame to any one. The pow

AFTER MINERAL OUT WEST
siver Bow Copper Company Has
= Seventeen Claims Five Miles
From Town

The Silver Bow Copper company has
issued a prospectus in which it calls the
attention Of the public to its property
and what 1t purposes to do in the way
Of developing mining claims. The COM
pany's officers are James p. Murray,
president; G. T. Paul, vice president;
Robert B. Smith, secretary and treas
urer; w. E. r. Macdonald, manager,
and A. H. Barrett, to whom no particular
position other than trustee has been
given.
The company states in its prospectus
that the capital stock of the corpora.
ton is 100000, in shares of 81 each; that
the stock is fully paid and non-assess-
able. The company owns II unpatented
claims five miles west Of Butte, 1t says,
and there are strong mineralized veins
running east and west through the
group of claims. There has not been
sufficient development to determine the
width or extent of the veins. says the
company, but from surface indications
| the veins are extensive, we'll defined ard
well mineralized. as the surface every
where assays in gold. silver and copper
! to some extent. A great many shallow
holes, cuts and other exposures have
been made on the surface, which indi-
cate that large mineralized zone of
| country fully 1000 feet wide extends
through the claims, says the prospectus.
'.,rhe value on the surface in the Butte
mines was silver and gold" says the
! company. land for years it was not sus.
pected that the mines contained copper
| it was not until a depth of from $50
| to 500 feet was attained that copper in
| any great quantity was found. Our
greatest depth is only IS feet, and not
| until We reach the water level perhaps
| $50 feet DEEPER can we expect to find
| copper Of any value. One hundred
| thousand shares of the capital stock
have been set aside for development pur-
poses, and pone of the shares will be
sold for less than 81 each. Not one dol
| lar goes into the individual purse OF
any officer or stakeholder of the COM
pany, nor is there an officer of the COM
pany drawing dollar Of salary. If the
property finally develops into a mine of
value we all succeed, and if development
| should prove the country barren we will
| lose along with the others. The work
| now being carried on by the company is
| paid for by the cash contributed by the
| incorporators. A two-compartment shaft
| is being sunk on the property"
