For Deep Prospecting.

Some time ago, in boring for water
on the farm of Lawrence Spitzbarth,
two miles north of this city, rich
particles of blackjack were brought
up by the drill from below the lower
magnetism limestone. The drill APP
peared to have passed through a
body of the ore. Ever since there
has been talk of organizing COM
pany to make borings to the same
depth at different points in the same
vicinity, and if the ole was struck in
any of these, to sink a shaft down to
it. Lately this talk is revived, and
there is now probability that the
enterprise will be carried through
Several have siguified Willingness
to take stock If the proposed com
pany is organized.

JONES is ExEN0RATED.

Dispatch to Milwaukee Free Press
Washington, ID. G., May 26th.--The
charges made against Indian Com
missioner w. A. Jones crumbled in
to nothing In IL few moments this at
ternoon during an investigation into
the charges by subcommittee OF
the state senate on Indian affairs
w. V. Wade, of Wade, N. D., who
had written letter 70 Senator Jones
of Arkansas, charging Commissioned
Jones with being interested in the
company which secured the lease to
II large tract of grazing land on the
Standing Rock Sioux reservation in
North OAK ota, retracted every asser.
ton he had made against the com
missioner, and declared that he had
learned that his charges were false
AS the whole series of articles which
have been printed in various pub
locations attacking Commissioner
Jones were based on Mr.. Wade's let
ter, they all fell with it, and it is a
foregone conclusion that the com
mittee will report that Mr.. Jones is
free from reproach.

Victory For Miss Holmes.

Milwaukee Free Press: Millicent
Holmes of Mineral Point will be al
lowed to keep the $4,000 of proper
ty decided to her by her uncle, Chas,
ames formerly of Wauwatosa. After
hearing arguments for nearly TWEEN
ty-four hours Judge Tarrant took the
case from the jury and entered a
Judgment which makes complete
victory for her.
1t developed in the trial however
that Miss Holmes will have only
$6i 900 of the money. She stated up
on the stand that she had distributed
among the other legal heirs to the
estate $4,000 of the money, and
showed receipts and releases for the
amounts given to them. In spite oi
that they, through tho Citizens
Loan and Trust Company, admins
traitors of the estate, brought suit for
a legal division of the property.
The court in his discisions an
swered the questions proposed for
the jury. He stated that at the time
when Mr.. James made the deed he
was of sound mind and memory and
fully competent to perform tho work
Secondly, he decided Miss Holmes
did not use any undue Influence to
secure the disposal of the property
the decision having been made be
fore she knew it,aud entirely through
his love for her and his gratitude
for her care Of him during the time
of his last illness.
The transfer was made Dec. :. 1900
at Thomasville, Ga, where Mr.James
bad gone for his health, aud where
he died ofparalysis n year later, Guy
ID. Coil, who represented the heirs
stated that the fact that the transfer
was not mentioned TO the other heirs
before Mr. James death, though Miss
Holmes saw them frequently, was
evidence Of undue influence. but the
court held i'm the decision with the
opposing counsel that Mr.. James
had plenty OF time to alter his action
should he have wished to.
The other legal heirs to the estate
are William James and Christian
Holmes of Mineral Point, and vii
liam b. and George 4. Holmes o
Milwaukee.

N emorial Sunday.

The observance of this day in Min
eral Point added evidence that our
people appreciate the great sacrifices
and services of the generation that
met and solved the problems involv-
ing this nations life, forty years ago,
and the present generation realizes
the benefits it enjoys therefrom. The
special feature of Sunday was the
memorial exercises at the Primitive
Methodist church, attended by the
Grand Army Post and Womans Re-
lief Corps. Pastor Hardcrstle's SER
mon was thoroughly patriotic, earn
est and eloquent, his description of
the memorable battle of Gettysburg
eliciting warm commentator. The
choir selections and the floral deco
rations attested the zeal and deep
interest of the whole congregation
in the cause. At the Trinity Episco-
pal and the NJ f.. churches in the
evening, sermons of memorial char
acter were preached, each strongly
stimulative of grarder christian cit
izenship.

PRocLAMATloN az MATos.
venezueians Called Upon to Rise
Against Castro.

Fort de France, Island of Martin
iuue, Jan. 3yia Haytien cable The
British steamship Ban Righ. recently
rena med the Libertador, has left this
mort for the Venezuelan coast. She
carries among her passengers Senior
Matos. who is now referred to as Gen
eral Matos. and several other import
ant personages of Venezuela, who
Joined General Matos here. Among
these notables are: Nicolas Rolando.
Domingo Mcnagas. Penaloza Duchar-
ne, Eduardo Ortega Cordoya. Corlos
Azugary Egeamier. Tomas Garcia,
Mervez Mario, Christiani Antoiles
Bartazai, Antoine Espinoza and Nc
rendi Sambrano Rendon. Besides the
leaders of the expedition the Liber-
tabor has on board 300 volunteers
while on her way to the coast OF Ven
ezuela.
The behavior of General Matos and
his adherents while they were at this
mort was most correct, and when they
left here they had the sympathy OF
the whole population. General Matos
is known at Fort de France. where
he has many friends. The local news,
papers have published articles es
pressing hopes for the prompt sue,
cess of the revolution and the down
fall of Castro, whose attitude. the
papers add, has earned for him the
ennity of the whole world.
Previous to his departure from Fort
de France, General Alatos issued
manifesto calling on al his fellow
countrymen to take up arms.
While the Libertador was at thlc
port her sides were strengthened by
light arrnor and her gun positions
were protected. Her armament is OF
the modern type.
