Pueblo. Colo. Nov. 10.-F'or twenty
years people have been trying to find
the source of the ore at Silver Cliff.
and Mt last It has been turned up. only
half mile from the town. The strike
made few days ago by Haskell and
Jackson. two veteran assayers, seems
to be the most important in southern
Colorado for many years. They are
now literally quarrying out the ore
and shipping 1t by the carload. I'm.
mense sums have been spent in the
vain efforts to find the ore which was
known to be there. the search includ.
ing the Geyser prospect shaft. which
is $500 feet deep. The ore has been
lying there all this time. just below
the surface. and on government land.
II runs $44 per ton. and picked speci-
mems yield seventy.hve ounces gold
and much silver There is great ex-
citement in all that region. and every
thing has been staked for miles. 1t
u anticipated that Silver Cliff, once
he second town in the state, will
loom again.

THE BOSTON CASE
MASON MAY NOT BE GUILTY.

colored Boy Says He Pawned the
Watches Of the Murdered Women
and Says He Got Them From
Mason.
Boston. Nov. 9-Th- strange case
Involving the murder OF two young
women. Agnes McPhee and Clara A.
Morton. and the murderous assaults on
many others. was step nearer solu-
tlon to-day. for late last night the po-
lice were given the custody OF the
young man who sold. or as he thought
pawned. the watches which were taken
by the so-called Jack the Slugger"
from the bodies of his victims.
The person In custody Is light-com-
plexioned negro eighteen years old.
His name IL George l.. o. Perry. He
has confessed that he secured the
watches which he sold from man In
Central square. Cambridge. He has
given the mans name as Allen g. Ma
hon. While the police are endeavoring
to establish connection between Per-
ry and Mason. friends OF the latter are
equally strenuous In their endeavor to
Bupport their contention that the ne
gro has made false statements.
When they met face to face In Cam
bridge jail to-day, Mason denied ever
having seen Perry before. The identi-
iication OF Mason by Perry. however.
was OF such a character that Police
man George Dunham says he has no
doubt that the two are acquainted.
Mason Is very nervous. more SO than
he has been when others have called
to see him. Perry. on the other hand.
was unconcerned. and sazcd at Mrsonl
for several seconds. then turned and
went toward the door.
The boy In his statement says that
he met the man. whose name Is not
disclosed. In Central square. Cam
bridge. about four weeks ago. After
some conversation they begon to talk
about watches. and the man gave the
boy q small watch. Perry pawned II
with Ncmser. and. meeting the man
again. gave him 75 cents OF the pro-
cecds. Last Sunday Perry met him
again. rs he says. accidentally, and
again the man showed n watch. Perry
says the man seemed anxious t,setr!d
OF II. no he took II and pa vned Il with
Scmscr. Hcttingx 81. He says he has
not seen the man since.
While Perry maintains that he
pawncd two watches found In Ncmscr's
store. In Cambridge street. and the
writing on slips given to Scmser Mt
the time corresponds with the hand
writin. Of Perry. Ncmscr declares that
Perry In not the person from whom he
purchased the watches. and In saying
this he asserts that he knows Perry
well and In also acquainted with his
mother.

DEMOCRATS SAVE ONE
Republicans Concede Election of Shafroth but Claim
Defeat OF Entire Democratic State Ticket

Denver. Nov. This mornings Re-
publican says:
The entire Republican state ticket
was elected last Tuesday. John A.
Holmberg for auditor led the ticket in
ing to the imperfect returns so far re-
ceived on the rest OF the ticket. besides
governor and congressman. The ma
jority on the head OF the ticket remains
In the neighborhood OF 5000.
Mrs. Helen Grenfell led her ticket by
approximately 1000 votes. but is not
within walking distance OF the prom
lsed land Mrs. Anna u. Brandt
OF Teller county will secure her
certificate OF election with 1000
votes to spare. Mrs. Grenfeil had
the help OF the Populist vote and she
also had some votes from the Repub-
licans on account of her personal pop
ularity. The reports which formed the
forlorn hope OF the Democratic sheets
that Mrs. Grenfell had squeezed
through. were puncturcd by more de-
tailed reports. She gained In the
towns but lost In the country.
The Democrats have carried Arapa-
hoe county. on the face OF the unoifi-
cial returns. by plurality somewhere
between $500 and 1000. The former
figure is given Mt the Republican coun-
ty headquarters after very careful
compilation of the returns. and the lat
ter figure Is the Democratic claim.
The actual result IL somewhere be-
tween these two.
+. T.. Brooks and II. N. Hogg arc
certainly elected to Congress. John
> Shnfroth appears on the unofficial
returns to have plurality OF some
thing like 500. Mr.. Bonynsc yesterday
put an expert accountant to work To
add up the returns from Arapahoc
county. He tcicgraphed to the county
clerk OF each OF the other counties In
the district for the Official figures.
With these. and with reliable figures
and estimates from counties where the
clerks did not respond. Mr.. Bonynsc
found that outside OF Arapahoc county
he had plurality OF :.5io. The
Shnfroth plurality In Arapahoc
county he figures nt $3.50. 30
that Mr.. Shafroth's net plurality
will he only about 500. II may be said
that MIR. Bonynse's figures on the
county agree with those of the coun-
~ committee. though computed sep
aratciy.
Twelve OF the eighteen senator's have
been elected by the Republicans. and
there In one Republican hold-ovcr. SO
that after the number Of the senator's
has been reduced to nt tho conStitu-
tion. by one means or another. there
will be on joint ballot Republican
majority Of Mt least ten md perhaps OF
thirteen members. A report has been
circulated that Rcprcscntativcs-E Elect
Garcia and Riley from the southern
,art of the state had agreed TO vote for
Teller. but Senator W. II. Adams. who
zones from the same section and Ia n
Democrat. said yesterday that he had
ucvcr heard Of any such promise.
Tho only way the Democracy may
prevent the election Of United States
senator by tho Republicans Is by hav-
Ing the Democratic Senate refuse to
20 into joint session. This was the
reason why such interest was shown In
the possibility that Thomas Anncar
had been elected lieutenant governor.
With n Democrat presiding over
Democratic Senate. all kinds OF delays
could he caused.
