Attention is directed to the adver- tisement in this issue of H. E. Peoples the tailor. Mir. Peoples has received one of the finest lines of samples of cloths for suitings, Overcoats, pants and vests that has ever been shown in the town. He takes orders from these samples and the work is done by one of the best tailoIs in the east. Another thing about it too is that his prices are right, as no better clothing can be purchased in the country for the money than he offers. Any one doubting this or in fact any one in need of clothes of any kind is request eG to call and examine for himself Another thing Mir Peoples does is to guarantee a fit and from personal ex- perience with him in the purchase of clothes the writer can testify to the correctness of the latter feature.

BIG STRIKE IN
 THE GREAT BELCHER.
Five Feet of Solid Ore Found on the
 Seven Hundred Foot Level.

A big strike is reported in the Great Belcher mine, one of the Cliff ford properties in the Big Bug dis trict. From reliable authority 1t is learned that at the seven hundred foot level a cross cut started last week opened a body of high grade ore five feet in width. The exact value per ton is not as yet known, but from the character of the ore it is estimated that it will go high in gold values.
 The Great Belcher now promises to be one of the big mines of the county and as the ore discovered is the vein proper, it is more than prob able that big and permanent chute has been encountered. Several months ago the stockholders sent MT. Knox, well known mining engineer of Colorado Springs, to report on the property, and upon his advice it was determined to sink to the thousand foot level and then cross cut. As the shaft is being sunk of the vein 1t was estimated that at the above depth it would be demonstrated whether the property would make a mine or not. The present strike at the seven hum dred foot level has settled this ques- tion, and it has also demonstrated that the mines in this district go down. Development work will now be driven along as fast as possible and the Great Belcher will soon take it's pace among the producing mines.

joint under pressure. On the riveted pipe there were no serious defects in pipe, although some dozen or so pieces leaked slightly. All these were stopped with clamps. The joints gave MT. Sturtevant a good deal of trouble, but were finally made tight.
 When work started on the plant it was expected that it would be com pleted by May 15. The coal strike last winter tied up the work for nearly two months, and the excessively heavy rains this summer, together with the trouble with the riveted pipe accounts for the delay. The whole plant is now in good condition. The leaks on the riveted pipe have all been stopped and the whole line is tight. The city has permanent water sup ply sufficient for many times its pres ent population.

l.. w. Myers, the well known stone mason and contractor, has been en- gagged in mining for some time in Walnut Grove mining district, having a bond on the Quartette mining claim, owned by J. W. and Jos. Daugherty. The claim is a patented one and IS located about ten miles from Kirk land station on the s. F., P. & F. railroad. It is developed by tun- nel 300 feet long which cuts the ledge 15O feet below sthe surface cropping at a right angle with the vein. The ore is principally gold, although it carries some silver and is free milling. Assays of average samples and mill tests give an aver age value of 5000 per ton. There is a shaft also on the property thirty five feet deep which is in ore from top to bottom. The cropping through which the shaft was started was about one and one half feet wide and has widened out to four and a half feet, the ore being similar in quality to that encountered in the tunnel. The claim is certainly a very promising one and Mir. Myers is to be congratu- lated upon his success. Seven tons of ore from this property, together with the same quantity of copper was run through a smelter and the bull lion assayed S426.00 in gold, thirty three ounces in silver and ten per cent copper.

AN INSANE MANS PATIENCE.
Took Him Three Years to Make n
Key, But Ii Was IA Good One.
(From The Chicago lnter-0cean.

| During the recent visit OF the Legsla-
| tive Enquiring Committee to the Eastern
| Indiana Hospital for the Insane, Superin-
tendent Smith pointed out the only patti
ent in the Institution who is wearing a
pair of leather gloves chained to a belt.
Such is this mans ingenuity that IL his
hands were not fastened the institution
would be in constant trouble bec lu:e Of
his skill In picking locks. He came from
Cleveland, Ind, and was committed be-
cause of homicidal tendencies.
Three times he escaped, notwithstand-
/ ing the vigilance of the attendants, each
time going direct to Fort Wayne, where
he was recaptured. After his third re-
capture the riot act was read to his
attendants. but a fourth time he got
away, leaving no trace of mischief behind
him. Again he fled to Fort Wayne, and
there the hospital authorities found him.
After his return the superintendent be
gan quizzing him as to the manner of
escape, and the patient laughingly as
serted that it was by means Of pass key.
The patient was elated over the dis
comfiture of the attendants that he was
willing to describe the process Every
attendant had a pass key of peculiar
make, and he BATTERED the attendant that
he could make perfect picture of his
key.
The attendant humored him and the pa
tisnt made two sketches, one Of which
he concealed, while he surrendered the
other. Some time before he had found a
piece of case knife in the yard attached
to the hospital, and he stole Il small piece
OF a three Cofneleu HE IN the engine
room. 1t was part of his duty to assist in
carrying food to the patients, and upon
entering the kitchen he always complain
ed of feeling cold. and while warming
himself behind the range he placed the
knife blade to the heated surface. 1t
took two years to heat it sufficiently to
draw the temper out, and he spent an
other year filing the knife SO that it could
be used as a key.
Meanwhile the attendants had become
suspicious that he contemplated an es-
cape. and nightly his clothing was taken
away and placed in two different rooms.
The guard passed his bed every half hour
during the night, but he watched his OPP
portunity and finally got all his cloth
ing in hand. and after the guard had
made his first round he unlocked the
doors and walked away, refasteaing them
as he passed.
The key is now preserved among the
curios of the institution. peculiar fea-
ture Is that the patient was unaccustOm-
ed to the use of tools before admission to
the hospital, and never displayed any me-
chanical ingenuity until he began con-
niving his own escape.
