of those financially equipped for the svs-
tematic working of mining property are
always desirable and the transfer of big
interest in the Monarch group, near the
head of Mill creek, to George earns, will
vest title to very promising aggrega-
ton of claims in two of Walsenburg's S
prominent merchants and insure devel
opment of section tributary to Empire
The discovery of the property, consisting
of four claims, was made by William NJ
Moore several years ago, but as the sur.
face showing was of silver-lead character
work was at first confined to assessment
requirements.
Later a cross cut tunnel was started
that has now penetrated over 800 feet and
which intersected the first lode at seven
ty-five feet from its mouth, where, to the
surprise of the workers, a rich streak OF
gold ore was encountered. This unex.
pected change in the product will render
the group Immediately available as a pro-
ducer of pay stuff.
Prospecting of the other lodes indicates
the presence of considerable bodies OF
milling material that can be pro6tably
treated on the ground and reduced to a
tonnage that would bear the expense oi
transportation to the smelter. About Sc
acres of placer ground are included in the
holdings and large lake near by will

MINES Of EMPIRE


A revival of interest in the Lincoln
mountain section of the camp will follow
the proposed effort to reach the Hidden
Treasure lode by means of an extension
ago. Intermittent work will now give
place to continuous development and
good paying proposition should result
from the opening up at depth, of lode
whose richness, at and near the surface
was of the phenomenal order.
The erection of the shaft house. placing
of machinery and completion of the re-
quired raise to convert the Wine in the
tunnel into surface shaft, will enable
the Nebraska Union company to sink on
their Union claim, while maintaining the
steady shipments of smelling and milling
ores from the adit stope and breast where
bodies of fine grade are showing. The
several claims forming the group recent
ly acquired by the Nebraska people and
including the Union, Horseshoe and the
Oregon, show every promise of develop
ing into one of the most productive on
Silver mountain. On character, grade
and quantity the product from the pres
ent openings is proving to be eminently
satisfactory.
The early success attained by recent
purchasers of mining property at Empire
is exercising a natural effect upon others
and has led to the placing under bond of
quite number of eligible propositions,
including the Cornet, Filibuster and the
Gold Nugget groups on Silver mountain,
whose transfer would enlist class of de-
sirable investors.

How to Prevent Group.

1t will be good news to the mothers of
small children to learn that Group can be
prevented. The first sign of Group is a
hoarseness. A day or two before the at
tack the child becomes hoarse. Thia is
soon followed by peculiar rough cough.
Give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy free
ly as soon as the child becomes hoarse or
even after the rough cough appears and
it will dispel all symptoms of Group. In
this way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers and has never been
known to fail 1t is in fact the only rem

! look around me and / see three or
four persons / have known so many,
many years. have known John Hay
and Tom Reed. and Rev. Twitchell
close upon thirty-six years. have
known Mr.. Howells nearly thirty-four
years, and ! knew Chauncey Depew
before he could walk straight, and be-
fore he learned to tell the truth.
Tom Reed has got a good heart and
he has got a good intellect, but he
hasn't got any Judgment. Why, when
Tom Reed was invited to lecture to
the Ladies' Society, which has some
thing to do with morals-I don't know
what 1t was: advancement, l suppose,
of pure morals-he had the indiscre-
ton to begin by saying that some of
us can't be optimists but by judicially
utilizing the opportunities that Provi-
dence puts In our way, you know, we
can all be bigamists. Those were his
limitations. Anything he has got to
state he states, II he thinks 1t is true.
Well, that was true but that was no
place to say that, so they fired him out.
"A lot Of accounts have been settled
here tonight for me. / have held
grudges against some of these people,
but they have all been wiped out by
the very handsome compliments they

Il had had grudge against him

there he was going on, and tried to

he is started. and | could not get In

'Mr. Howells has got a peculiar gift
for seeing the merits OF people, and he
has always exhibited them in my ia
vor. Howells has never written any
thing about me that / couldn't read
six or seven times a day: he is all
ways just and always fair. He has
written more approximately of me
than anyone in this world. and pub
lished Ii in the North American Re-
view. He did me the justice to say
that my intentions-he italicized that
that my intentions were always good:
that / wanted peoples conventions
rather than their convictions. Now
wouldn't want anything handsomer

II heard 1t intimated that it is New
England that makes New York and

How He Replied TO Noted Men Who
Had "Guyed" Him.
The New York American and Journal
gives the following report of Mark
Twain's speech at the dinner given in
his honor at the Metropolitan Club.
New York, Friday night, at which
such trained after-dinner speakers as
Thomas b. Reed, Senator Chauncey M.
Depew, Wayne MacVeagh, DIR. Henry
Van Dyke, w. H. Howells. Hamilton
w. Mabie, st. Clair McKelway and
John Kendrick Bangs knowing that
the guest of honor would be restrained
from replying until all had spoken,
practically said what they pleased at
and about him..
II think j ought to be allowed to
talk as long as / want to, for the rea-
son that l have Cancelled all my win
ter's ENGAGEMENTS of every kind for
good and sufficient reasons, and am
making no new engagements for this
winter, and therefore this is the only
time, the only chance / shall have, to
disembowel my skull for a year.
II wish to thank the chairman for
the innovation he has introduced here.
Under the old custom the chairman
got up and made a speech; he intro
duced the prisoner at the bar and COW
cred him all over with compliments.
You can't talk on compliments. A
man gets UP and is filled to the eyes
with happy emotions, but his tongue is
tied; he has nothing to say; he is in
the condition of DR.. Rice's friend who
came home drunk and explained 1t to
his wife, and his wife said to him
John, you have drunk all the whisky
you want; you ought to ask for sarsa-
parilla.' He said: Yes, but when l
have drunk all the whisky 1 want /
can't say sarsaparilla,' So l think IL
is much better thing to leave a man
unmolested until the testimony and
pleadings are all in. Give him a
chance.
II see here around me the captains
of industry in all the great illustrious
industries, most distinguished men:
there are more than fifty here. | be-
lieve. and believe that out of those
fifty / know thirty-nine of them well.
/ could probably borrow money from
well-from the others anyway.
1T is q proud thing to me- indeed, to
see such a distinguished gathering
come here on such an occasion as this.
when there is no foreign prince to be
feted, when you have come here, as I
take 1t you do, you come here not to
do honor to hereditary privilege and
ancient lineage, but you are here to do
reverence to more moral excellence and
elemental veracity-and, dear me, how
old IL seems to make me. Slxty-seven!

HIS BOY RAN AWAY.
Remark of His Judicial Father
Frightened Him.


Triton, Ga. Dec. 3.-Judge C. H.
Hartman of the County Court, Of
Mayo. Fla. came here Sunday after
Clarence, his 15-year-old son. who left
Mayo about two weeks ago. Judge
Hartman tells an interesting story as
why his boy decided to make the trip,
and feels that he was to blame for
the boys journey.
In Florida it is the law for every
person who carries a pistol to give a
800 bond, register with the county
clerk and pay fee of 25 cents. Clar-
ence Hartman went to school one day
during last month and bought a pistol
from one of the boys at school. Judge
Hartman had just sentenced five men
for carrying pistols, and put a heavy
fine on them. He told his son the best
thing for him to do would be to re-
turn the pistol to the boy he bought
it from, and get his money back. as he
would be disqualified In his case. and
there was no telling what the judge
who tried him would do to him. The
young man took his fathers advice.
carried the pistol back, and secured
his money, and told the boy he bought
it from what his father had told him.
Both got frightened. and their first
thought was to leave the state at once,
so they struck for Georgia soil.
Young Hartman settled down at Sib-
ley to work on a farm. and after a
day or two's stay, wrote home TO his
young sweetheart at Mayo. and told
her of the hardships he was having.
The girl took the letter to Judge Hart
man, who had been using every means
possible to locate the boy. He felt
greatly relieved. and took the next
train for Georgia to find his son. In
the meantime. the lad had given up his
work and headed toward Triton. Sun
day he got as far as Sycamore. and
seeing his father get off the train at
that place, walked to the next station
and there boarded the next train for
Triton, arriving here on the Shoe-fiy.
The police here had been notified to
look out for him, and arrested him as
soon as the train arrived. Both father
and son were fully repentant and left
for their home, where Clarence return
ed to school.
DR.. ]. E. Lanier of ODE, Ga, had a
very painful accident a night or two
ago. He was on his way to town from
the residence of Mr.. ]. b. Norman, Jr.,
on foot, and had to cross a short tres
tie. 1t was night and very dark. The
trestle evidently had one or two miss
ing links in it. as the doctor slipped
and fell through, several feet below,
breaking three ribs and otherwise
bruising himself. He was in Triton
yesterday for the purpose of receiving
treatment.

TO vACATE ATTACHMENT.
Is the Application of the Interna-

New York. Dec. 9.-Application was
made in the Supreme Court to-day by
attorneys for the International Power
Company and Joseph II. Hoadley, who
was its president. to vacate the at
tachment granted recently by Justice
Fitzgerald against the company and
Mr.. Hoadley in an action brought by
John f. Plummer to recover $1,000, 900,
which Plummer claims was promised
him by Hoadley for raising the neces-
sary capital to finance the American
Locomotive Company, a corporation
promoted by the International Power
Company. The defendants also asked
that bond be given of at least $780,
900.
Justice Leaventritt said the only
matter to be considered was the ques-
ton whether the complaint set forth
facts sufficient to constitute a cause of
action. Should he decide that was so
it would be his duty to fix the amount
of the bond.
