Last Friday afternoon New York's
Four Hundred were entertained at a
chantant at the Waidorf-AstOria, given
by the Misses Preston, daughters of the
late Stephen Preston, for many years
dean of the diplomatic corps at Washing

Whenever a new weapon of war is
brought out and its ability for destruc-
ton considered, we hear the old story
over again of making war so destructive
of life and property that nations no Ion
ger will dare IT, resort to that method of
settliI z disputes. No one doubts that
guns and armament today are vastly
superior to those in use during our civil
war, yet no battles have been fought
anywhere since that great struggle which
have resulted in so large proportional
loss of life. The British war office gave
out on Sunday the death returns to Jan.
81 of the war in South Africa. They
show thar disease is much more to be
feared in armies than bullets or lyddite
bombs of the latest pattern. The total
of deaths was l2,9S9, of which number
1893 died from disease and 5196 from
wounds in action. In the three DAYS of
Gettysburg more men were killed out
right than have died on all the battle
fields of South Africa since the war be-.

FIGHT OVER THE JEWEL LODE

The hearing of the order to show cause
why John Metz should not be enjoined
from working the Metz or Jewel lode
claim while an action to determine title
to the property is pending in court was
commenced in Judge Harney's court to-
day. The plaintiff in the case is Joseph
J. Colbert
The Metz or Jewel is located near the
Colorado company's old concentration,
about two miles southwest of the city.
and is the property in which Metz struck
q very rich vein of gold ore last sum-
mer. Shortly after the strike was made
James Gier brought suit against Metz
for a half interest in the property, claim
ing that Metz had promised him the in
terest for doing some work on it. He
had Metz temporarily restrained from
working the ground, but on the hearing
to enjoin the defendant from taking out
ore pending the trial of the suit Metz
won the case.
About that time Charles ]. Colbert
located the property and called it the
Jewel, alleging that the prior location
had not been made in strict accordance
with the law. He then instituted suit
against Metz to quiet title to the ground.
and Metz was once more restrained from
mOlesting the streak of shining gold
quartz which stood out in bold relief and
beckoned the old prospector to dig it
out. Since then no work has been done
on the property.
