Mr. George ". Driver, who was 4 per-
sonal friend of Governor Shepherd, and
one of the prime movers for the recep-
tion rendered him when he visited Wash

q am heartily in accord with the move
ment for the erection of a monument to
Governor Shepherd. More than any other
man. he deserves the credit for making
the Capital City of today the most beau
tiful in the world This. too, in the face
of almost insurmountable obstacles.
which would have bafled any other man
in such an undertaking His enemies of
former days would be the most hearty
supporters Of the plan. and it is safe to
say little time would be lost by public
spirited citizens in coming to the sup
port of the movement.

Mr.. Thomas w. Smith. president of the

who had done so much for his native

Funeral Arrangements Uncertain.
From The latest reports which have
reached this city, it appears that moth
ing definite as to tho disposition of
Governor Shepherds body has yet been
decided upon. Until Mrs. Shepherd ar
rives at her destination and then COM
muricates with the other relatives in
this city nothing can be learned with
accuracy. Dr. William Pope Young, the
biother-in-law of the late governor. had
heard nothing at late hour last night
and said ne could give no information

Resolutions Favoring Plan and Eulogiz-

half of City Adopted-Citizens Pay
Tribute to the Dead.

1t has been agreed. almost without a
dissent, that the duty of the people oi
the District is now to erect monument
to Alexander r. Shepherd by popular
subscription The idea broached yes
terday morning found such instant favor
in the eyes of all who appreciate the
magnificent work the former governor
accomplished, that it may be said with
out fear of contradiction that within a
short time the monument will be an
accomplished fact.
Prominent men in every walk of life
in Washington have placed themselves
on record urhesitatingly as saying that
the least this city can do for the man
who made it what it is today is to erect
a suitable testimonial to his ability and
far-sightedness.
Mr.. Macfarland Will Aid.
Commissioner Macfarland yesterday
issued a communication heartily COM

his cooperation to the fullest extent.
Other prominent business men made
statements to the same effect and prom

gret the death of Alexander r. Shep-
herd, which occurred at Batopilas, -Mex-

appreciation of the great public serv-
ices rendered to the National Capital by
the deceased. and place on record the
boards feeling of sorrow and that of The
people of the District of Columbia,
whom it represents at the loss of a
valued fellowzcitizenl and founder of
Greater Washington.
alexander R. Shepherd was born in
the District of Columbia sixty-saren
years ago, and resided here until 1879,
when he engaged in silver mining in
Mexico.
From early manhood he was conspic-
uously identified with the interests of
the District. serving the community as
a soldier municipal legislator, and then
as governor of the District of Columbia.
His greatest public service to the Re-
public was that rendered by him as
founder of the new Washington which is
now developing in realization of his
plans.
Placed Capital in Rightful Place.
He felt keenly that the Capital, ne
elected by the people of the Republic,
was held Id contempt instead OF honor.
and he devoted all his vast powers of
brain, will and organizing ability to the
task of restoring the National Capital
to its riglitful position in the regard and
affections of the American people.
He overcame tremendous difficulties.
He recreated Washington. And We OF to-
day who see the beautiful city of which
he dreamed and for which he planned

admiration TO this great man and to the
noble work which he wrought

The small amount of insurance on tn.

reported that an agent of the several in

BURIED CLAIM NEAR CARSON
Located on Patented Land Owned by Hobart
Estate-Detectives Making q Search.

According to the Virginia Chronicle,
there are two detectives in Carson trying
to ascertain the location of a mine which
is reported to be of fabulous richness. One
of the men is j. N. Thacker chief of
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S. detective force The
Chronicles story is as follows:
About west of Carson is considerable
area of mountain side that has been To-
Gated as timber land under United States
patent This land is owned by the Hobart
heirs. Somewhere on this land is located
valuable mine. This mine was discov-
cred long ago by Charles Barkley, who
formerly resided on the Comstock and
who was we'll known as the fireman on
the v. & T. local.
1t appears that any sort of United
States patent is sufficient to keep outsid-
ers from working for minerals, and so
Mr. Barkley was unable to do anything
with his discovery. He attempted to get
permission to work the mine, but the Ho-
bart heirs would only allow him Is per
cent of what he took out, and he could
not work the property to profit on these
terms.
1t is only few weeks since they sub
mitted this proposition to Barkley. He felt
compelled to refuse ana the heirs have
adopted the expedient of sending the two
detectives to Carson TO try and find out
where the mine is located. 1t was evidently
the idea of the Hobart heirs that Mr.
Barkley would try to work the mine on
the q. t. and that all the detectives would
have to do would be to watch his move
ments. Since everybody in Carson, Bark
ley included, is aware of the identity and
purpose of the detectives, 1t is not likely
that they will succeed in their mission

ALASKA COPPER.

The copper deposits of the Chitina river, Alaska, nave excited a great deal of interest among capitalists and min CTS. Many persons have Outfitter to prospect this region. and some prelim- mary development work has been done. Prospecting has also been done in a second copper belt in the northern part Of the Copper river, and in the upper White river basin. These two belts are to be the subject of special inves- tigat;on by the geological survey dur ing the coming season. Christochina gold fields, also included in the Copper river basin, have become important producers of placer gold. A survey of their entire area is contemplated. The surveys of the Copper river basin wilt also throw a great deal of light on the proposed railway route from Valdez to the Yukon river, and they will cover large areas which are believed to have value for stock raising and for agri- culture.

 A BIG ARIZONA PROPERTY
An Attractive Investment on a Safe
 and Profitable Basis.

The Planet mines, owned by the Plan ct Copper Mining company, are lccated oI the Bill Williams Fork. twelve miles east of it's junction with the Colorado river, in Yuma county. Arizona. They were discovered in 1864, and from tha i time until 1874 a large amount of rich copper ere was shipped therefrom to San Francisco. yielding q substantial profit to the owners.
 In 1881 q thirty-ton smelter was erected by q company holding d lease and bond on the property. They paid S55 per ton for coke and proportionate- ly high prices for other supplies, and sold black copper (ninety-seven per cent fine) at s cents per pound. The Smelter was closed down after a few months run and has not since been operated. Assessment work performed since that time has disclosed some val Uable bodies Of ore, which are now be- ing developed by this company There are 260 acres in the group, ana valuable copper ore is disclosed on each claim. There is plenty of WOOL and water on the ground. Several thousand tons of ore already mined will. with q little sorting, be ready for treatment.-Ores and Metals.
