The Wife Of President Mckinley Passed
A Comfortable Night
BUT WAITS FOR DEATH
She Gradually Sank During The Night And Her
Life Hangs By a Thread

San Francisco, May l7.-Mrs. Nc
Kinley passed comfortable night but
early in the evening the physicians
gave up all hope Of her recovery. The
President has not left her bedside for
a moment.
This morning shortly before dawn,
she sank rapidly and it was feared she
would die before restoratives could be
administered, but she responded to
the power Of the heart stimulants
that were given to her and during
the day improved to such an extent
that hope of her recovery, slight
though it was, was revived. But her
life hung by thread.
The new treatment for low vitality,
salt injections into the veins, was ad
minist cred to Mrs Mckinley, and she
responded to the treatment. She has
taken no solid food since she reached
here on Sunday. During her periods
OF consciousness her mind has been
clear.
Every banquet and public function
planned in his honor here has been
abandoned and the city, with heavy
heart, is watching Mrs. Mckinley bat
tie for life.
San Francisco, May l7.-At 3 a. m.
Mrs. Mckinley was resting easily.
For many years Mrs. Mckinley has
been marked personality in the Cap.
ital City. For over quarter of a
century she has been an invalid but
her cheerfulness and friendships have
brought her, during that time into
contact with the interesting phases of
life.
For an invalid she had remarkable
constitution and will power. She
could stand without complaint the
greatest fatigue, and hold up through
hours of mental excitement better
than many women who rarely have a
headache.
She has travelled with the President
whenever i j is possible. She has been
all over America with him.
She has never allowed her illness to
close the doors Of the White House
for social life and has kept the receiv.
ing days and sat at all the formal din
ners and received at New Years with
as great punctualioy and untiring
manner to the people as the health
lest hostess of the executive Man.

She has kept young people with her
constantly and allowed them the same
JOYOUS entertaining they would do at
home. The White House is constant.
ly open to their friends.
Mrs. Mckinley has not had even the

face of sick woman; 1t is refined and
delicate, but not i'll looking, except
infrequently after days Of pain. Her
physician has been constantly with
her going wherever she did and she
has had the grtatest confidence in his
treatment Of her peculiar case.
She is a woman OF exceedingly pro-
nounced likes and diSlikes.
She detestS what is artificial in
woman and dislikeS that which is un-
refined. She cares for children more
than for women or men, and the poor
est woman with the prettiest baby is
sure of receiving more attention from
the lady of the White House than is
given to diplomat.
Every child in Canton is taken to
see Mrs Mckinley as soon as the Pres
ident'S town house opens. Mrs. Nc
Kinley said there was once time
when she knew'every child in the city.
That was before Mr.. Mckinley was
governor and she kept in closer touch
with the newcomers. She confesSes
with sigh that she does not know
the children by name in Canton now,
and that this is grievouS disappoint.
ment to her.
II dislike SO to hurt their feelings, "
she says, "by asking their names. :"
No child asks her name, however.
She is "Auntie 'Kinley" to all the
children in Canton, or really in the
state Of Ohio, if one Judges from the
troops of youngsters that are brought
into her house in Canton during one
day.
The first question she asks of a child
is: 81 am your Auntie 'kinley am l
nOt?" And when the child says
eyes, or solemnly mods its head, the
compact Of love is signed between
them Il hen and there.
Her life IN the White House has
also been simple and democratic. The
distinction sne makes in persons is
whom she likes and whom she dislikes
more than question of rank.
San Francisco, May l7-S.45 am
Mrs. Mckinley passed a good night
and her condition is SO much imprJv-
ed that her physicians will not have
an, ther consultation until O'Clock
this evening.

BERLIN Is PAID

Montpelier, May 1.-THE Argus
yesterday said: Town Treasurer Will
bur Brown of Berlin this morning
presented County Clerk M. E. Smiles
order on County Treasurer A. w.
Ferrin for the settlement Of the re-
bate allowed the town of Berlin by the
last session of the legislature for an
alleged overcharge in paying the
county tax on the new county Jail.
The order was for S28l.27, which
the county treasurer paid at sight.
Considerable talk was made sometime
ago about the order because Of the
lack of means to pay the BILL How
ever, just as soon as it was presented
it was paid. The order was made in
February.
Berlin claimed that she had been
assessed on her old grand list for the
payment Of this tax, when Montpel-
ier's ward was portion Of the town
and that the heavy payment came un-
fairly on the divided section.

The "Home Study" bill, which has
been approved by the Governor Of Cal
i~iornia, does not go into effect until
July l of the present year. 1t pro-
vides that "no more than twenty reci-
tations per week shall be required of
pupils in the secondary schools, and no
pupil under the age of Is years in any
grammar or primary school shall be
required to do any home study"
Some experiments recently made in
the San Francisco schools, under the
direction Of the City Board of Educa-
ton, resulted in a good showing for
the abolition Of home study.
It was found that the children in a
class which had been relieved of home
study passed as creditable an examiua-
ton as those who had been required
to study at home.

MOUNTAIN
DISTRICT.

ms year opens up with a bright
outlook for a number of our mines in
this district. A number ef the mines
here are being opened up and devel-
loped by Salt Lake and other capital
lists. There has already been devel-
opment enough done to prove that all
there is wanted in this district is cap
ital to explore the numerous prospects,
and success will be assured. There
will be no trouble in obtaining a guam
tity OF higher grade ores in depth.
There is a large era which lies undis-
turbed and which presents a fine show
ing on the surface. Any man who has
had any knowledge Of mineralogy and
geology can't help but see that there
are indications of wealth cropping out
all through the district.
Samples of the veins cropping on
the surface at an elevation of 65O0
feet show values Of from So tc 1876 in
geld and silver, and in places a fair
percentage in lead, together with the
two former metals. II seems strange
that capital does MT take advantage
of these properties. 1t is said repeat
edly: ''Capital wants large low grade
propositions" Here they are. Why
-. fn
come here make those remarks, but it
seems that what they are really look
ing for is a shipping proposition"
If the miner and prospector has a
large property which is a shipping
proposition, he is not seeking capital.
He can ship his ore as easily as CAPT
tai can and thereby acquire capital to
go ahead and develop his property.
The properties of this Battle Noun
tain mining district are formed of
veins of various sizes and consist of
various minerals. They carry princi-
psllY gold, silver, lead, copper and an.
timony. The anthony occurs as a
sulT heret.
There are properties here which
show veins 20 and 80 feet wide carry
jug from 81 to $40 in gold and silver,
mostly gold, which have been worked
in the '70's by the old process, and a.
that time paid. These same proper
ties to-day, with the modern improved
machinery, should, and can be made
to pay large dividends Even with
concentrating plants they will pay div.
iden1s.
Now, if capital wants large low
grade propositions, there is nc place
in this country where they can acquire
them better than in this section, in close
proximity to two railroads. the s. p.
and Nevada Central. BY bailding a
large plant On Reese River valley,
where ample water can be obtained for
all purposes, all the ores from this and
other districts could be manipulated
at moderate expense. Trans can be
run from the mines to the mill, taking
the ore from the mines, which, by the
way, have fine tunnell facilities, with
but very few exceptions. the ores can
be transported from mihe to mill at a
very light expense. There are a nun
Der Of mines located where any ordi-
nary marrow gusge road can be run to
the mines.
