REMARKABLE EXECUTION,
Russian HnnEman Resigned mt Criti-
caI Moment and ed Mai,
Volunteered to Hang Himself

Some time ago Russian criminal
was executed in st. Petersburg. He
had during the last two years MUIR
dered IL persons, the last one being a
priest The law did not show this
monster any mercy, but speedily CON
demned him to death.
Stebljanski, says the Washington
Post, was the name of this wholesale
murderer, and he hoped to the last for
clemency. When the death warrant
was read and the keeper informed him
that he had but six hours to live, he
ragged and swCSe to revenge himself
in the most terrible manner. After
being left alone in the cell the first
thing he did was to break his lamp,
and, procuring some matches, he set
fire to the oil. In moment the
flames broke through the window, and
the entire building. was for time
threatened with destruction. Fortu-
nately the fire was discovered in time
and got under control before much
damage had been done, but in the
meantime a terrible struggle ensued
between the keepers and the criminal,
who had fortified himself with an iron
bar, taken from his bedstead The
first man to enter the cell was knocked
senseless; and it was only after being
almost suffocated with smoke that the
prisoner was finally overpowered.
Next morning the execution took place.
The condemned man assembled the
scaffold with much bravado, made a
thorough examination of the same,
and finally declared that the rope was
too short
Il cannot get my head in the loop"
he said, land though it will cause me
some inconvenience to wait, l will
smoke cigarette while you are hav-
ing it attended to-"
He lighted a cigarette. and, turning
to the eXecutioner, made speech,
pointing out the detestable in his pro-
fession, and as a condemned criminal
in Russia has certain rights, no one
dared to interrupt him.
The executioner, who really was a
tender-hearted man, became visibly af-
fected by the moraliZing words of the
murderer, and, turning to the crowd
assembled before the scaffold, de-
clared that his conscience did not al
low him to proceed or to take a fell
low mans life, and he then and there
resigned his position and departed
midst the shouts of the assemblage
This caused great confusion among
the representatives of the law, for
where could they in a hurry get
another executioner? The question
was, however, solved by the con-
demned man, who declared that he
would execute himself as soon as he
got through smoking. He started an
interesting conversation with the
priest during the five minutes or SO
he had left, and recommended that
he read Count Tolstoi's latest book,
which contains striking remarks about
the relation of capital punishment to
the teachings of Christianity. He then
threw kiss to pretty girl among
the spectators, stuck his head in the
loop, and kicked away the trap be-
meath his feet

to be the Lombard vein. At the 100
foot point it is Captain Seemanns S
plan to extend drifts on the Lombard
vein both east and west, thus giving
them a 100-foot level from which to
stope. This shaft will be sunk to the
1,000-foot point-cutting stations at
every 100 feet from which levels will
be run-where the shaft will be con-
nected to the Manhattan tunnel. A
large plant of machinery will be
placed on this shaft as soon as the
100-foot level is reached, and the fur
ther sinking will be done by air drills.
After the connection is made with the
tunnel it will make an air shaft as
well as an ore chute for working the
mine through their tunnel. About 1000
feet from the Lombard shaft the
Faust shaft has been started and has
been sunk to depth of 200 feet, open
ing up high grade of ore in the Faust
vein. This shaft is fitted up with a
fine shaft house and a large hosting
engine. This shaft will also be CON
nected with the Manhattan at about
the 1,20O-foot level. Some six or eight

Last year Mr.. Seemann purchased
for his company the Lombard-Polaris
group of locations on Yankee for
sos, 900 cash of DIR. Ashbaugh of Cen
trail City. This group contains the
famous Lombard mine, which has been
a steady producer for several years of
very rich ores. He has spent a year
in developing the property and becom-
ing thoroughly familiar with the ore
bodies and their extent. In this prop
erty a competent mining engineer es-
Inmates there is over one-half of a mil
lion dollars worth of ore now in sight,
and which will soon be added to by the
driving of lower levels to million or
more. These estimates were not made
on assay tests from picked samples of
ore, but from tests made on the ore at
the company's five-stamp mill, which
has been used by them merely to make
exhaustive tests on the ore values of
their different veins
The scheme Mr. Seemann now pro-
poses to develop his large group of
mines is completed, and work has been
started in earnest to carry them out.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-06-06

of the company's veins will be worked
through this shaft.
The crowning feature, though, in the
development of the property is the
locating and starting of the Seemann
tunnel from Fall river, and which will
cut the veins of the company about or
nearly 1000 feet below the Manhattan
tunnel, gaining the greatest possible
depth that can be reached through a
tunnel. This tunnel bore will be 12x12
in the clear. and is surveyed for a
distance of three miles. 1t will take
about five years to complete this tun-
mel. The greatest vertical depth gained
will be over 1000 feet. If extended to
James Peak it would cut under that
point at depth of over one mile The
location of this tunnel is one of the
best in the state as to the natural ad-
vantages surrounding. At the mouth
of the tunnel Fall river can be
brought to develop over 600-horsepow-
er. and which will be utilized by the
company in driving their large plant
of machinery. This will be the loca-
tion of their central power house, fur
nishing electric power from this point
to their different mines, which will
also be supplied with electric machin-
cry as far as possible. By utilizing
this water power in generating their
electric power their workings can be
carried on at the minimum of cost.
The Seemann tunnel will cut through
large territory in a short distance
that is known to hold large veins of
mineral but little prospected. In a
few thousand feet it will gain a verti-
cal depth of over 1000 feet. 1t will cut
the entire district from one extreme
end to the other and every vein that
has been located as well as those that
are not now known to exist. Those
who are familiar with this section as
sert that this tunnel will be paying
almost from its start or within year.
and there is every evidence present
that this will prove to be the case. It
is an ideal location, and would give the
mines only six miles to haul to rail
road on an almost level grade. and on
roads that are never blocked in winter
by snow. The country surrounding is
heavily timbered and the wide valley
of Fall river here is suitable for the
building of all necessary mine build
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-06-06

These plans will call for an expendi-
ture of nearly a million dollars, but
when completed as proposed the work
will have been done thoroughly and
will make the Yankee Consolidated
properties of inestimable value. Mr..
Seemann does not go into "speeula-
tion of what will be"-he only figures
on carrying out his plans, which have
culation. 1t is not blind" work, but
developing to the greatest advantage
ore bodies that are known to exist,
and which are now producing.
Mr.. Seemann's plans include a deep
shaft and two tunnels, coming from
different directions. The company
started the Manhattan over a year
ago, which is now in over 600 feet.
This tunnel is located to the east of
the district, and will cut the Lombard
Polaris group at depth of over 1000
feet in about 1000 feet. 1t is being
pushed with two shifts of men. 1t is
proposed to put large plant of ma
chinery at the mouth of this tunnel
and work by air drills. The tunnel will
be driven for 5000 feet and will cut
many or all of the company's veins at
great depth. A double-compartmen
working shaft has been started on the
Lombard property which will intersect
the vein at a depth of about 100 feet.
This shaft has now reached a depth
of some fifty feet, and already the re-
suits have been most surprising to
Mr.. Seemann. At a depth of only
twelve feet a large vein of ore was
cut into that shows to have a milling
value of from sS to SIS per ton. This
blind" vein is some three feet in
width and will prove of considerable
value. The shaft has reached a depth
of fifty feet, where a large vein of
mineral has been cut into, its full ex-
tent being unknown at this time,
the ore is of pay value. On the hang
ing wall a streak of ore was cut that
gave assays from 500 to $50 per ton.
The shaft has been sunk for some dis
tance in vein matter that shows high
milling value of ore. 1t is believed
that very rich body of ore will be
encountered on the footwall This is
also believed to be a blind" vein,
though it is possible that it will prove

Gin "For Personal use.p

Soon after Senator Tillnan's dis
pensary law went into effect liz South
Carolina the United States court de-
clared that liquors brought into the
state for personal use could not be
seized by the constables. Naturally,
every shipment was marked for per.
sonal use" and respecting the Federal
authority, the officers would not
seize it. A few days after the an
nouncement of the courts ruling, a
machinerr establishment in Charles
ton loaded cotton gin for the interior
and it went out on a big truck. Five
miles from the city the truck broke
down, and the cotton machine was
left on the road until another team
could be provided. Before it was
moved man drove by. Taking
pasteboard box from his buggy he
tore off wide strip and wrote this
inscription, leaving it on the machine:
This gin is for personal use." 1t was
not seized.

What One Mans Energy Has Accomplished

growth of their ore bodies makes this
absolutely necessary to the manage
ment of the company.
The company have also found it nee
essary to plat a townsite at the juno
ton of Cumberland and Lombard
gulches, about one mile southeast of
Yankee This town is located on the
property of the company, and is CEN
trally located to their various work
ings Many cabins and houses are be-
ing built by the company for the use
OF their men. A general store will be
put in during the summer, though this
will be owned and run under a separ-
ate management, and will not have any
connection with the company A
roomy hotel will be built sufficient to
accommodate fifty guests, and which
will afford every convenience to either
the tourist or to the capitalist looking
for investments.
There is everything to prove that
Captain Seemann is building the Yam
kee Consolidated Mining, Milling and
Tunnel Company into one of the larg-
est dividend-paying enterprises of Col
orado. 1t is being done on a scientific
and business basis. and the investor
can readily see and feel it is an invest
ment that will grow for years to come.
1t is an enterprise that will not reach
its greatest glory for years. and will
be giving large returns when many of
the paying companies are forgotten.
Last April the stock of the company
was withdrawn from the market. and it
is not probable that another share os
stock will ever be offered for sale and
the company is getting into shape to
bring in big returns from their ex-
tensive ore bodies now in sight. 1t
would be hard to estimate the value of
the eompany's properties, and the de-
Velopment being done is continually
opening up greater wealth. 1t is doubt
ful when Mr.. Seeman started his plans
he could foresee anything in the
future to justify him in believing that
he would eventually reach the grand
success he has already reached; and,
one might say, the birth of his great
enterprise. 1t is safe to say that the
properties of the company could not
to-day be purchased for $5, 100000, as
large as that sum might appear to
some of u.s. Mr.. Seeman is fully alive
to the great value of his holdings, and
carefully directs the work of the COM
pany toward greater developments.
Mr.. Seeman is a young man yet.
Will he stop in his work with the de-
velopment of the Yankee company, or
will he promote other enterprises7
| Those who know him best believe he
has other plans to be given to the pub
lie in the future that will appear to the
| capitalist or investor as sound as the
Yankee company. Whether an electric
road TO Idaho Springs is buzzing in his
brain, or a consolidation of another
acreage of proven valuable mineral
lands, or other equally as good invest
ments, no one can say. and Mr. See
mann is not man to commit himself.
II is certain all his time and energy is
now given to the complete organization
and success of the Yankee Consolidated
