But she insists that if a syndicate
thinks the lot worth $780, 200 it is worth
$1,000,000. That there is a pile of gold
covered up by dirt belonging to her is
a fact, she says. Her poverty hitherto
has kept her from going to Colorado to
make a personal investigation. Now
however, she declares that her brother
has supplied her with funds and that
she will go West within the next fort

lives there are "a. half dozen colored
families. Southqof there blacks" may
be found here and there. But north of
Thirty second street all the residences
are occupied by whites. Indeed, there
are no colored servants, because in

exists a prejudice against those who

That part of the city has been. the Gym

For the past week her door has been

in the morning is a bouquet of flowers

Nor is she without business sense.
The sudden turn in her affairs has in
no manner turned her head. A re-
porter for the Sunday Chronicle Wis
tied her yesterday. The house at 1927
Prairie avenue is modest enough in
appearance. The steps are old, the
paint on the outer walls has long since
been driven away by wind and rain.
Cucumber vines almost hide the door
way. Over in the corner of the little
piazza there is a gourd vine that has
a thousand leaves. The seeds were
brought from Kentucky, the former
home of Miss Davis. But Miss Davis
does not use gourds for drinking pur-
poses as do her countryWomen at
OWensboro.
Comes From Kentucky.
Greensboro is her native town. She
resided there until eight years ago,
when she came to Chicago. At Owens
boro she lived with DR.. w. S. Stirman,
man of considerable wealth and
standing in that part of the Blue Grass
state. She was maid to Mrs. Stirman
and as such accompanied the family
on it's winter and summer tours. She
has visited every state in the Union,
traversed Mexico, climbed mountains
in Alaska and shot the rapids in Cam
ada.
In 1890 an agent for mining proper
ties in Colorado, visited OWenSboro. 1t
was not long before he had interested
DIR. Stirman. DR.. Stirman talked
about his investment at the dinner ia
BILE one evening and Miss Davis lis
tened. The next day she sought the
doctor in his office and asked him if
he thought it profitable for her to in
vest few of her saved dollars in Col
orado real estate. Her employer told
her that he did. At that time Plain
field bid fair to become one Of the
great towns of the Rockies. Cripple
Creek was then unknown. Stratton,
subsequently the king of miners, was
then pursuing his vocation as a car
penter. There was little mining going
on in and around that part of the I'M
developed West. Real estate agents
and land boomers had gone to Plain
field and had selected it as a spot that
would ultimately outrival Denver
Flaming circulars were scattered over
the country singing the praises of this
marvellous region.
At that time the whole country was
prosperous and in the East the men
with schemes and engineering plats
found little difficulty in disposing of
their holdings. Plainfield is not on
the map at the present writing. Meth
er is the place listed in the United
States postoffice directory. According
to Miss Davis, mail matter intended
for residents there is sent to Cripple
Creek, which is twenty miles to the
south.
Trusts to Luck.
Miss Davis has never been to Colo
RADIO. In all the long years she has
owned property there she has paid
taxes and trusted to luck. A month
ago she was informed that gold was
found on her lot. This information did
not surprise her, according to her
statement. She had a dream. The
dream was vivid and she had not eaten

made. In this case the paraffine was ster-
ilized, SO that it might carry no germs
with it. After it had undergone this pro-
cess it avs reduced to a semi-liquid form,
and kept so over a regulated lamp.
When all was ready for the operation
the girls face was sterilized, and then a

where the eyebrows divide, and the par

twenty-four hours the paraffine hardened

The curio was found at Sakkarah, and
is believed to represent one Of the over

building the pyramids, which are plen-

known to be the oldest of all the Egyp-

have done.

CHICAGO, Sept 27-Miss Lulu f.

vorced from her husband, Robert Da-
Wis, claims to have mine in Colorado
for which she has refused the sum of
100000 She wants $1,O00,000. If the
syndicate which is now dickering with
her yields to her demands for this
amount she will convey her title to a
lot 125x150 feet, located in the village
of Plainfield, Col. Otherwise she will
keep the property and work the gold
out of it. She says that for fifty feet
below the surface. on her place there is
little else except gold. She has had
reports from assayers and mining ex-
perts who have told her that she would
be foolish to sell for less than the fig
ure she now asks.
Miss Davis is not unprepossessing.

A. F. KINDALr RESIGNS.
General Manager of Western Supply
Co. Goes to Colorado,

A. F. Kindall, secretary-treasurer
and general manager of the Western
Supply Co., with headquarters in this
city. has resigned his position after a
continuous service of twenty-nine
years, eight of which have been spent
in Ottumwa,a and he will leavein short
time for Denver, having accepted the
Office of travelling auditor in the en-
ploy of the Colorado Supply Co. His
place will be taken by F. Duffy, at
present bookkeeper in the general Of
fees of the company at this place A
meeting of the directors of the firm
is in progress this afternoon for the
purpose of considering Mr.. KindalPs
resignation and other matters OF I'M
portance to the company.
For Many Years.
For the past twenty-one years Mr..
Kindall has been connected with the
Western Supply Co. At first he was
superintendent of different stores
which are conducted by the firm at
points in Iowa and Illinois for the pur-
pose of supplying mining camps with
the necessities of life. Eight years
ago he removed to Ottumwa and be-
came secretary-treasurer of the COM
pany, as well as general manager.
Since that time the bulk of the bust
ness has been in his hands and how
well he has conducted it is evidenced
by the fact that he is called from his
present situation to much more lu-
crative and promising one with the
Colorado Supply Co.
Mr.. Kindall has recently erected a
splendid residence on Cara street and
until such time as he disposes of this
his family will remain in Ottumwa.
Ultimately, however. they will join
him in the west and make their home
in Denver.
F. Duffy, who takes Mr.. Kindall's
place as general manager of the COM
pany, is an old employee also. He has
had much experience in the service of
the firm and his promotion to the i'm
portant position formerly filled by Mr.
Kindall is testimony of the regard
with which his employers look upon
his work. He is at present book
keeper at this point His headquar-
tiers will remain at Ottumwa and lit.

pany will be made on account of Mr..
Kindall's resignation.
