MINE HAS FABULOUS RICHES.
Clark the Wealthiest Man In the
World.

His Arizona Property Makes senator
Clark the wealthiest Man In the
World.
The American Mining News contains
the following article about the great
United Verde mine, the property Of
Senator w. A. Clark, which, If correct,
would indicate that it is probably the
richest mine and he the richest man in
the world.
I'm my recent letter made some al
lusion to the fact that Yavapai county
contained more dividend paying mines
than any other mining section Of like
size in the United States. In addition
to this statement it can be said that
Yavapai county is undoubtedly pro-
ducing today more value in actual met
the world. According to statistics at
hand at the beginning OF this month
the metal output Of this county
amounted to s12O,OOo,OOO, and at this
rate at the close Of the year 1t would
show an output Of $1S0,000,000.
1T has only lately come to light that
the average value Of the ore taken from
the United Verde is SIS per ton in all
values-gold, silver and copper. This
mine, so far as has been developed, in
Guiding explorations and diamond drill
ings below the present workings, shows
an immense ore chimney 400x600 feet
across that has been explored by tun-
nels, shafts and drill holes to depth
of 1,400 feet.
Just how far it will be possible to
work this mine down before the heat
limit Is reached is hard to say, but
reasonable estimate would be at 5000
feet. An estimate by one Of the best
mining engineers in this country shows
that the mine to the depth Of 1,400
feet contains 336,O0O,000 cubic feet of
ore, and, estimating II cubic feet to the
ton, there Is practically 23,O00,O00 tons
in sight.
IF we carry these figures little
farther on the present four values of
the United Verde we have the average
value Of the ore equaling $2,500, 900, 900.
These are not fancy figures, but repre-
sent the actual production Of the prop
erty, and can be verified by any one ia
miliar with mining work. The present
owner of the property has refused $780,
900, 900 for the mine. It can be said
with safety that 1t has become so val
liable that there is not a syndicate or
corporation that could put up the mon
ey to buy it. Several giant syndicates
have looked into the property with a
view to purchasing II outright, but
when they tackled the figures above
mentioned their hopes Of ever becom-
ing owners Of the United Verde dis

CLEVELAND STARTED IT.-In speaking
of Roosevelt's dinner with Booker
Washington, the Philadelphia Bulletin
says: Other presidents, notably Grover
Cleveland, have had colored guests at
the executive mansion. Very little crit
icism was heard when Mr.. Cleveland
entertained Frederick Douglass. the
then most conspicuous man of the col
ored race in the United States. The
mere fact that President Roosevelt,
coming into Office as he did, invited
Washington to dine with him so short
ly after his election to the highest Of
flee within the gift of the American
people, has started furor throughout
the country, and the results so far as
he is concerned are likely to injure his
interests as candidate for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination in 1904.

KOEsTER ExONERATED.
The New Collector Gets the Best of
Deas md Gonzales.


President Roosevelt has made full
investigation Of the allegations against
Internal Revenue Collector Koester for
the latter's connection with a lynch
ing party" in South Carolina a long
time ago. Various statements on the
subject were presented to the presi-
dent, and although he had commission
ed Mr.. Koester and the latter had filed
his bond, the president determined to
make full investigation Of the sub
ject in order to satisfy himself whether
the appointment of Mr.. Koester was
justifable. There has been consider
able correspondence on the subject and
Mr.. Koesters frank and manly expla-
nation Of his participation in the lynch
ing has induced the president to de-
clare that, so far as Mr.. Koester Is
concerned, the incident is closed and
his appointment will stand.
Every one of the horrible details Of
the lynching referred to, which in
volved three demons charged with out
raging a WHITE WOIIldIt were idIo uc-
fore the president. Mr.. Koester frank.
ly related the details surrounding the
sickening scene and the possibility for
the escape of the fiend who had COM
mitted the outrage upon the white wo-
man. He related to what extent he
participated in the affair, in addition
to his duty as newspaper reporter.
He also supplied the president with a
copy of the story of the affair, which
he himself had written for publication,
and added that, in view Of the condi-
tions which existed at that time, he
considered his action justified. The
victim was about to be burned at the
stake and Mr.. Koester proposed less
violent punishment for the fiend.
There is not a man with drop Of
American blood in his veins who
would not have commended Mr.. Koes-
ter's course in the circumstances, and
President Roosevelt Is satisfied that
Mr.. Koester will make fearless and
capable collector Of internal revenue
for the district Of South Carolina.
In this connection 1t is understood

NEBRAsKA's RABBIT PLAGUE.
Rapid Increase of the Animals of
Late-NO Means of Destroying

Rapid Increase of the Animals OF
Late-No Means of Destroying
Them.
The farmers Of west Nebraska are
suffering from the depredations Of jack
rabbits, which have recently appeared
In that part of the state. Fruit trees
ard winter wheat have especially been
injured.
Last summer the rabbits multiplied
with surprising rapidity. There were
no heavy. rains to drown the young and
the extreme heat caused them to grow
rapidly. The old rabbits, in many
cases, produced three and four litters,
each brood numbering from six to
eight healthy young rabbits.
The disappearance Of the coyote Is
another factor connected with the
present plight of the farmer. The coy
ote preyed on jack rabbits. But there
was bounty on coyote scalps, and be-
sides the animals were the enemies Of
the sheep owners.
So coyotes have been thinned out.
And now the jack rabbits flourish and
increase in number.
In the eastern part of the state the
rabbits have made no noticeable in
crease. but in the central and western
regions their increase has been alarm
ing.
Raids are planned by the farmers for
the winter months. Poisoned corn and
grain can sometimes be used to advan-
tage on farms where there are no
fowls. Sometimes the poison is placed
about the edges of young orchards and
partially protects the trees from the
teeth of the rabbits.
Jack rabbits are the pests which
will give the farmer the most trouble
for the next couple of years." said Prof.
Lawrence Bruner, head of the depart
ment of entomology at the State uni
versity. Il have just returned from an
extended trip in the western part of the
state and was surprised at the number
of rabbits I saw.
Il know of no rapid plan Of extermi-
mating them. Organized hunts and
raids take time and money, while the
actual number of rabbits killed often
does not repay the efforts made by the
| farmers"
Two species of jack rabbits infest Ne
braska. They are commonly known as
black tails and silver tails. There is no
difference in their size, food or habits.
Several scientists connected with the
chronological department of the State
university are now making detailed
study of these pests, with a view to in
venting some scheme for their rapid
determination.

months they become too tough to eat,

that Mr.. Koester Is already preparing
for changes in his list Of deputies.
George Washington Murray, a former
colored congressman from the Charles
ton district, is being strongly urged
by prominent Republicans outside Of
the state as one Of the deputies. Sem
ator Mark Hanna, who Is interested in
Murray, has asked that some provis-
ion be made for him in South Carolina.
1t is understood that Deputy Collector
Deas, who publicly arraigned Senator
Hanna for designating District Attor-
ney Capers as a member Of the Repub-
lican national committee, is slated for
official decapitation to make way for
Murray. Deas not only made himself
personally and politically offensive to
the administration during the contest
over the collectorship; but he is not
in sympathy with Collector Koester's
appointment. AS Mr.. Koester holds a
bonded responsibility for all his depu-
ties he will select men who are sup
posed to be friendly to him and in
clined to work to make the admins
tration Of the Office successful. Muir
ray and Deas are from the same con-
gressional district, and 1t is expected
there will be a lively row in the nomi-
mating convention If Murray Is ap-
pointed to succeed Deas. Just how
Collector Koester relishes being OBJ
liged to appoint a colored deputy re-
mains to be seen. He may feel, how
ever, that he can make some sacrifice
to win the friendship Of 80 formidable
a leader as Senator Mark Hanna, es-
pecially as it will only be swapping one
colored man for Observation-Disclosures

"You will not fight"
"No."
"Not even after this" exclaimed the
traveller, and before any one could pre-
vent him he struck Michaers shoulder
with the handle of the whip. At this
insult Michael turned deadly pale. His
hands moved convulsively, as If he
would have knocked the brute down.
But by tremendous effort he master
ed himself. A duel! 1t was more than
a delay; 1t was perhaps the failure OF
his mission. 1t would be better to

in the face.

man and left the room. The postmas-
ter followed him.
The effect produced on the reporters
by this incident was not to Michaers
advantage. Their discontinue was vis-
ible. How could this strong young
man allow himself to be struck like
that and not demand satisfaction for
such an insult? They contented them
selves with bowling to him and retired.

reasons alone could have allowed him
to suffer so great humiliation from
such q man.
Then, going up to him as he had come
to her in the police station at Mini

II you wed when March winds blow,
Joy and sorrow both you'll know.
Marry in April when you can,
Joy for maiden and for man;
Marry in the month Of May,
You will surely rule the day;
Marry when June roses blow,
Over land and sea you'll go.
