SOME VALUABLE ORE BEING EN- VOLUNTEERED EAST OF DOUGLAS

/. Considerable stir IS being made by recent developments in the new mining district about ten miles east of Douglas, on the American side Some very rich specimens have been brought ;n recently from that country Not long ago the Clark boys made a new strike on their property. which they call the "Homestake Mine, which has been improving with ev- cry days work.
 The surface showed lead in con- siderable quantities. and they com menced sinking on this. At depth of 20 feet they began to encounter cop per. They are now working two shifts. anG have lumber on the ground to timber the shaft, which is being sunk on a Assure vein near lime and porphy contact.
 Considerable work is being done in this district by other parties, who are opening up some good prospects
 The formation of the country IS lime and porphyry, running north ana south. and most of the ore has been found in veins running northeast ana southwest, near the contact of the two formations.
 The copper ores encountered so far, have been black and red oxloe and pyrites, running from to 40 per cent, and carrying from $2.00 to s17.Oo in gald, and from 10 to 40 ounces in silver The lead ore runs from 15 to 80 per cent, and also carries gold and silver. Assays from that coun- try have run as high as s262.0O ID gold and as high as ounces in silver.
 Conservative mining men state that from present indications this district bids fair to become rival of Bisbee as a mining camp. The country is already staked for miles around.

PLAIN LESSONS FOR
 THE COMMON PEOPLE.

Never were truer words uttered than were those of Congressman Bou. tell the other day in Chicago when the honorable gentleman said. "indif- ference to public affairs is our nation al disease; education is the cure This is the age of individualism which has nurtured the idea that governments were established solely for the indi- vidual, put the individual owes them no allegiance. This SENTIMENT IF PERMITTED TO GROW WILL DE STROY THE NATION"
 These are the words of Republican congressman. and the disease of which the congressman speaks is sin gularly enough the tne that the Re publican rarty has most assiduously pTopogated. The genesis of the ail- rent is the convincing Of the individ- ual that his part can do no wrong, that it has divine right to rule through it's dominion at Washington. and all the voter needs to do is to stand pat" for the party ticket at the pos.
 The party has fostered and protect ei the syndicating anl the forming of trusts in everything in America that was once free to individuaism. but is now committed to corporate mon opoly and rotten companies existing solely upon, or at least largeyl upon water" in the valueless certificates Cf stock they have issued to people from whom they have fleeced the mon- ey. A great deal of education is nee essary to convince the common citi- zen that individualism is only to be regained and made profitable by the destruction of the criminal trusts.
 The great lesson for the common people to learn, and that will arouse them from indifference to public af- fairs and to save the nation which Congressman Bortell says will certain ly be destroyed if the course now in vogue is pursued, is that the party or Mir. Boutell is the party of oligarchy, the twin devil of monopoly and the corporation against the man. That is the evil thing to ne exercised and tte Democratic party alone offers a protected individualism and a release from the Republican dragon.

this locality at frequent intervals and skill
fully cast it close to the apparently drown
ing woman.
She caught it and, slipping it over her
head, continued to float seward, all the
time yelling for help. Officer Lane yelled
also, and the draw tenders, hearing the
outcries, set out in the dory kept moored
at the bridge and were soon alongside
the woman.
She did not cease her screaming until
the boat was close at hand and then she
keeled over, unconscious, to all appear
ances. She was taken into the dory and
carried to the bridge, where an attempt
was made to res,lscitate her, but she did
not seem to rally, so an ambulance was
sent for and the horse was driven on the
jump to the Massachusetts General Hos
pital.
The jouncing May got in the rubber
tired vehicle, drawn along at high speed
over the cobblestones, shock life into her.
and before the hospital was reached she
was telling a thrilling tale to the driver.
She told the hospital attendants that her
name was Charlotte Persie, and she was
willing to tell the whole story, with the
exception of naming the man in the case.

According to her tale of adventure, she
did not begin screaming then. nor did she
at first attempt to reach dry land. Finally,
when the boat began to drift down stream

vice versa, with the result that he suffered
no Ill effects from either.
This particular rattlesnake which he
disposed of to Landlord Olcott thirty years
ago was vicious black one he had captured
in the old Indian lead mine, about which
rattlers were always plentiful and ugly.
AS Talmadge was transferring it from tho
bag he had it in to the cage at the Olcott
House-where an ever lively display of big
rattlesnakes was the feature for more than
half a century-the snake sank its fangs
into his thumb.
Whether in a spirit of bravado, or TO
show that he actually believed in his theory
of making one venom an antidote for tho
other. Talmadge Immediately provoked q
copperhead to strike him near the wound

Nevertheless, the supposed snake proof

that the copperhead that bit him to provide
the antiGote for the rattler's bite had no

said she did not know how she got into the
boat nor what had become of her hat and
shoes.
She gave her name as Mary Simpson
and said that she was the daughter Of a
clergyman living in the western part Of
the Stale, and he been visiting friends in
East Boston, She also said she had been
robbed of some money. and thought she
had been drugged and put into the dory
to die
The girl was taken to the City Hospital
Relief Station, but the physicians were
unable to discover any signs Of her having
been drugged, and she was discharged.
She unfolded a thrilling story to the re-
porters when she walked out OF the hos
pital. The evening previous to being found
in the boat. she said she had been out driv-
ing with richly dressed woman and two
young men.
When wine was passed around she re-
fused to take any because she was clergy
mans daughter and had been brought
up to abhor the stuff. She took tea instead,
and was Of the opinion that some strong
drug had been placed in the cup.
When stupafied her money was taken,
but she could not tell just how she hap
pened to be in the dory.
The police say she was found apparently
unconscious in a field in Maiden not many
weeks ago, and was picked out OF Chelsea
doorway in what seemed to be dead faint.
On both OF these occasions she told OF
having been drugged and each time she was

Another time she said she had been at :

BOSTON POLICE PUZZLED BY MISS
MAY SIMMONS.
Last Week They Found Her Floating down

Often Says she's Been Drus6cd.

BosroN, Oct. I0.-Miss May Simmons, aged
20, we'll educated, of refined appearance
and the daughter Of respectable Gam
bridge woman has once more 1orced
member of the Boston Police Department
10 rescue her from drowning, and again she
has told thrilling tale of i'll treatment at
the hands of villain. That the young
woman has an imagination equalled by rev
the police have not the slightest doubt In
fact, the stories she tells have been dis
proved so frequently in the past few months
that the police believe she has Simply
mania for seeking notoriety.
The last attempt made by the young
woman to gain fame is the most dangerous
one she has yet made, for she was yanked
out Of the Charles River about 2 o'clock
last Tuesday morning. To all outward
Appearances she was unconscious, owing
TO the ducking she received.
When she became able to talk she spun
. yarn about being cast adrift on the whirl-
Ing tide by a ruthless villain, that made the
hair of her listeners stand on end. When
she had been identified as the heroine OF
many nearly as dangerous predicamepts,
the police quickly reached the conclusion
that she was taking.
The young woman long ago gained the
name Of the barefoot girl, because on many
occasions when saved by the pol.cA her
feet were unprotected by either stockings
or shoes.
