scended to Mrs. Mckinley and her sister.
Mrs. Barber, from their father. James A
Saxton. the expert who was asked to ex-
anime the property was Prof. George A.
Treadwell.
Prof. Treadwell made complete exami-
nation, especially of two of the mines-the
Saxton and the Aultman. He found an
abundance of red iron oxides everything
gold ore. and after a thorough examina-
ton of all surface indications and OF the
development work at the stage then
reached, reported that there would be
found at the permanent water level one of
the richest deposits of copper sulphides
that had ever been discovered.
This quite changed the aspect of the un-
dertaking. as the two mines had been
looked upon only as gold mines. the fact
having been established that the deposits
of gold ore were present in very lucrative
quantities.
Prof. Treadwell advised sinking shafts
at certain points and the running of drifts.
He also advised the saving of the gold ore
as the most economical fiux that could be
used in the treatment of the copper ore. BY
this means the copper is produced at a
minimum cost and more of the gold is
mill.
Company Organized.
President Mckinley turned the property
over to the company then organized. His
brother-in-law, Mr.. Barber, was elected
president, directors were chosen and COM
mittees organized. 1t was determined to
open the stock to public subscription. Prof.
Treadwell was made chairman of the ex-
mittee. and w. N. McGill. an old expert
enced mining man, was made manager of
the mine.
In the development of the Saxton mine
the rich deposit of ore was found to con-
tinue in one direction through seven addi-
tional mining claims, and these have since
been acquired by the company. the proper
ties now consisting of twenty-five very val
liable mines.
1t may be judged that. backed by such
circumstances and governed by such infiu
ences, the stock Of the Mckinley Mining
Smelling Company has met with a very
1attering reception by the public.
Professor Treadwell said that the
Mckinley mine had great future. and
would come to the front as one of the
greatest copper and gold producers in
the world. He said:
Il have examined many hundreds of
mines. Among them have found prob
ably half a dozen first-class mines.
The property of the Mckinley Min
ing and Smelling Company rank as
one of the best of these. The stock Is
cheap. at the present development. at
$40 share.

NOW In GOOD STANDING.
Henry b. Sherman's Church Member
ship Stands Test of the Courts.

Henry B. Sherman, Of Westport, who was
the representative from Decatur county in
the late Legislature, brought the crafty
Ing news to his friends in the city yester-
day that his standing as a church member
has stood the test of the courts and that the
Judge OF his circuit has given him "clean
bilr' as a church member and minister.
1t Is an old saying that politics and re-
ligion won't mix. and it was a situation
that Illustrated the truth OF this saying
that brought Mr. Sherman's church stand
ing into question. When the sage of De-
cctur county came TO the Legislature he
gave his occupation as lawyer and preach
err" but there was a doubt at that time
as TO whether he was preacher. During
his campaign as a candidate for the Leg
islature the fight became so warm as to
bring about a split in the church of which
he was an active member, although he was
not at that time the officiating minister.
AS result Sherman was "churched' by
the action OF O. majority OF the congrega-
ton. He went ahead and finished his polit-
ical fight with satisfactory results, and
then he started in to settle the church fight.
and a number OF the prominent iaymen of
the church, asking $4,000 damages. The
suit came up last week, and the judge dis
man was a member OF the church and
minister In good standing. that the action
of the church board in busting him had
peen hieedi anu tnat tnereIor ne mao never
been really "churched" and could have>po
cause for action against the defendants. -,
In telling OF the affair to a group of SEN
ators and representatives in the lobby OF
the English last evening Sherman wound I'D
by saying that he intended to have copy
made OF the judges opinion so that he
could take IL with him when he died and
present Ii to St Peter as his credentials
when he reached the pearly gates.
1T wouldn't be a bad idea, Sherman"
dryly suggested one of his hearers, IF you
should have one copy of that opinion made
on asbestos paper"

People who engage in legitimate mining
investments. in businesslike way. must
take one of two courses.
They must rely upon their own personal
inspection OF the mining property, or. they
must depend upon the judgment and ad-
vice of some one individual in whom they
repose confidence.
Unless you are upon the ground yourself,
familiar with the property and able to dis
tinguish between a good property and
mere prospect, you must rely upon some
expert mining man of undoubted integrity
and with the ability to pass judgment.
Judgment of Experts.
The largest mining investors in the coun-
try have finely trained experts constantly
in their employ for this purpose.
1t is for this reason that the ordinary
Western mine whose stock is advertised
for sale is subject to doubt. In majority
of cases, if the mines were as sure of re-
suits as the advertisements state, these
well-equipped experts of very rich mining
men would see that their principals ac-

to the public.
This does not apply in every instance.
but 1t does apply in the majority OF in
stances. Mining men know that it is neces-
sary to have this judgment Of experts.
TreadwelI as Authority.
When Prof. George A. Treadwell, whose
word as an expert is confidently accepted
by the best mining men of many countries,
said ten years ago that the United Verde
Mine would become one of the most pro-
life copper producers in the world. many
experienced investors accepted that judg-
ment and procured stock in the company,
then selling at $1.0O share.
Many persons who were not professional
mining men and who were only occasional
investors in such things put few hun
dred or few thousand dollars into the
United Verde stock at s1.OO a share, and as
a result are now able to draw their check
for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
From 1S49 up to the discovery of the
United Verde Mine, Prof. Treadwell had
examined hundreds of mining claims. He
picked out this mine as the most promising
one he had examined since the old days in
California.
Seven years later the Green Consolidated
Copper mine appeared in the market with
$500 the price of its shares. Prof. Tread
well, who, in the meantime, had examined
many other mines, again advised his
friends and acquaintance to invest, with
the statement that this was unquestion-
ably one of the largest copper properties
in the world. At the present selling price
of the stock, $1,000 invested when the
shares were S each has grown into a snug
little fortune of $780,

Rosa Loney yesterday sued Laura F..
Trucksess for $1,000 damages for dafama-

suit became quite well known in Indianapo-
lis several months ago when John L.
Trucksess was killed by falling from a
street car, and subsequently the charge
was made that he had not been properly
attended during his illness. His family,
who are Christian Scientists, insisted that
Trucksess was not dead and the conse-
ouent discussions furnished much food for
new spaper stories at the time. The plain
tiff in the suit filed yesterday alleges that
the defendant accused her of many crimes
of which she is not guilty.
