BLOCKS THE PATH OF LOVE.
Stern Father Carries His Son Away
From Sweetheart.


Dr. Octavius c. Smith of Havana. Cuba,
a wealthy sugar planter left here last
night for New York, taking with him his
son Octavius, seventeen years old. 1t is
the doctors intention to convey his son
back to Cuba. The boy came here two
years ago to attend college. He made re-
markable headway with his studies it is
said, but his father is Of the opinion that
his progress in love affairs was more rapid
even than that in the educational way.
1t was for this reason that the father
concluded to take the boy home. The
young man accompanied his father to
New York much against his will, and he
declared he would not leave this country
unless compelled to do so by the courts.
DR.. Smith came here about two months
ago with other residents of Havana to
look out for Cuban interests. A little
later he accused the son of being in love
with a girl about fifteen years old. The
boy admitted the accusation to be cor
rect, and also stated it to be his intention
to marry his fair charmer. On account
of his age the father offered an objection
and threatened to take his son home with
him If the latter did not give up his
young sweetheart.
Octavius. jr., would listen to no such
proposition Indeed, he refused posi-
would not go to Cuba. He was living on
Maryland avenue northeast. and it was
while stopping with his son that the father
learned of the love affair.
The girl, 1t is stated, is the daughter OF
a Capitol Hill physician. Yesterday after
noon Detective Weldon found the young
man waiting near local college for the
girl to finish her studies for the day, the
two having an appointment to meet. He
accompanied the young man to headquar-
ters, where his father questioned him
There had been no change in the situation
fused to listen to his fathers suggestion
that he was too young to marry. and
when he departed for New York on his
way to Cuba the son declared he would
return to this city in the near future

Features of Elks' Carnival at Conven-

struck a responsive chord in the hearts of
Washington amusement seekers was dem
onstrated again yesterday afternoon and
last evening when crowd estimated at be-
tween 5000 and 6,o00 filled Convention Hall
and enjoyed the pleasures that the hosts
prepared for their delectation.
Men, women and children surged through
the big auditorium, gathered about the ami
NAL cages, tried to solve the mysteries of
the mystic maze" ate candy and pea
nuts the same as If they were holding down
the cushioned azure bleachers at a circus
In fact, nothing in the way of amusements
was overlooked.
The crowd was a good-natured one.
Everybody was there to have a good time
and 1t was had. The Elks themselves from
Joseph A. Burkhardt, the exalted ruler
down to the latest member initiated wore
broad smiles on their faces as they foreSaw
the success that has been SO fondiy autici-
pated. The Elks number among their men,
bership some of the best known Washing
tonians. Each and every one had a glad
hand last night for friend and stranger
alike.
Great interest is manifested, particularly
on the part of the fair sex, to what
names shall be conferred upon the lion
cubs. which are objects of much attention
The entire ElkS' executive committee spent
Oil iouf ldSl evening Denlnu closed doors
trying to evolve suitable and appropriate
method of deciding upon the names that
shall be given the infants
Public to Decide.
There were many ideas suggested, but the
perpleXing question was finally brought
into tangible shape by unanimous vote
that the whole thing be left to the public
to decide Accordingly there will be
grand lion voting contest to add interest to
the carnival.
The voting will begin next Monday.
ABOUT twenty names of distinguished Amer
leans Will be selected and announced.
Every visitor will be given blank vote as
he or she enters the hall These votes
may be filled in with one of the names on
the selected list. Monday night the votes
will be counted, and the owner of the name
receiving the largest vote will be given to
one of the youngsters. The same method
will be employed Tuesday and Wedne sday
and Thursday a public christening will be
held.
The representatives of the newspapers
will be the judges of the counting of the
ballots. On tomorrow afternoon the in
mates of St. Johns Orphan Asylum will
visit the carnival in a body, and on Mon
day afternoon, February 10, the inmates
of the Washington City Orphan Asylum

Chicago Creek Section.

The Daily Mining Record, one of the
best mining publications in the entire
West, has the following to say of the
Chicago Creek section which will be of
interest to mining men in this district:
Characteristic of the manner in which
mining camps and mining sections come
into and go out of favor the instance of
Chicago Greek in the Idaho Springs dis
trict is good one. Chicago Creek used
to be the popular section of the district,
but for some unexplained reason it went
out of favor, attention being given to
other sections. The tide has turned
again during the past two years, and the
progress made this year is one of the
important developments of 1907. The
chief reason ascribed for the present
good showing being made by Chicago
Creek is the large amount of develop
ment work going forward. Development
invariably makes production, but a Sec
ton or camp must first obtain favor be-
fore the work is undertaken"

DEAL
WENT

Gem Extension and Freighter's Friend Have
Been Consolidated.

" e-AA~ D AAcAA1 4 AaNt
Been Consolidated.
Reports received from the East the
latter part of last week announce that
the Gem Extension and the Freighter's
Friend and other properties, belonging
to the John Owen Mining and Milling
company, had been consolidated. A
meeting of the John Owen company was
held at the head offices in Boston on Tuly
75rd. This meeting was called for the
express purpose of effecting the consoli-
dation, and as far as can be learned the
work was accomplished without any dis
sension.
The stockholders of the John Owen
company have been anxious for many
months to turn the property over to w.
E. Renshaw, who is the manager of the
Gem Extension, but there was a faction
who opposed any move unless they saw
that the deal was to their interest.
John Owen, who discovered and To-
Gated the Freighter's Friend and who
holds one-fourth of the capital stock of
the company, has been at loggerheads
with the Eastern stockholders for some
time, and would not allow a deal to be
made until he saw that his interests
were not going to suffer. He has beat
the Eastern men at every turn in the
road, and as far as can be learned he did
not oppose the consolidation.
The Gem Extension has been in the
hands of Mr.. Renshaw for some time and
he has accomplished great deal in the
line of work. There is plenty of high
grade ore in sight. and with the addition
of the property belonging to the John
Owen company, he ought, and no doubt
will, make the proposition one of the
biggest in the entire district.
Mr.. Renshaw is one of the best known
mining men in this district, and is recog-
nized as such. He knows how to handle
a mine to the best interests of the stock
holders and get as much gold out as is
possible.
1t is hoped that all the troubles of the
John Owen company are now at an end
and that the property will receive the
development that it rightly deserves.

Looking for Investments.

Chas. A. Wolcott, a prominent mining
man of Boulder, arrived in the city
Thursday morning. Mr.. Wo1cott came
here for the purpose of looking over the
district, with view of securing posses
sion of some properties. He made trip
to Lawson and looked over that field on
Friday, and it is rumored that it may be
possible that he will invest some money
in mill. Lawson is surely entitled to a
mill of large capacity, and Mr.. Wolcott
would find good investment in that
district. He will be in the district for
some time and already has his eyes on
several properties.
Siftings hopes that Mr.. Wolcott may
be able to find something to his liking,
as all this district needs is men who have
the push and energy to develop the
mines, such as he is said to have.

The Sultana mine at Rat Portage is the
biggest mine in the Dominion of Canada
But the people there don't know how to
mine. They have got a great deal to
learn, tell you. And the stuff they get
out is low grade. Very few mines are
paying and the country does not COM
pare with Colorado as a place to make
money out of mines, even if we didn't
have any better facilities than they have.
Rat | ortage is 40 miles northeast of
Winnipeg. You rarely ever find Colo
deal more Colorado miners in Mexico
than in the Canadian country. l did not
go to Rossland, B. c., but l hear there
are one or two great mines in that camp,
notably the War Eagle and the Center
Star. They are owned by Englishmen
and Canadians, but they were smart
enough to put a Colorado man in charge,
a mining engineer named Kirby, who is
running the property after our methods
and is presenting the owners with big
dividends They have to pay Kirby
about S25,ooo a year, but it is the best
investment they ever made, for in spite
of that they get big profits, whereas, if
they employed an English mining engi-
neer at $1,000 a year, they probably
would not be making cent of profit out
of the property. The trouble is that they
don't know how to mine and will never
learn. You can't teach an Englishman
anything, because he will not admit that
he does not know it ALL"
