It was undoubtedly great surprise to
most people when the recent dispatches
concerning her illness called it to public
attention that Carlotta, ex-empress of
Mexico, widow Of Maximilian, is still
living. The knowledge must revive for q
moment the interest once SO universally
felt in her unhappy fate. The common
supposition that her husbands imminent
peril drove her insane is, OF course, un-
founded. Her malady overlook her long
before the fall of the empire and months
before anyone had dreamed Of the cul-
mination in the tragedy at Querretaro.
Yet even though her collapse must be
attributed to her overmastering pride the
story Of her life is sad enough when
freed from exaggerated pathos. :
Marie Charlotte Amelie was the daugh-
ter Of the first Leopold, king Of the Bel
gians, and SO is a sister OF the present
king. At the age Of II she was married
to the Archduke Macmillan, brother Of
Emperor Francis Joseph Of Austria. The
archduke was an exemplary young man
of 25, handsome and with a high sense Of
honor, but altogether lacking in the ex-
ecutive ability, in the capacity for affairs,
in the decision and in the force essential
for the success OF the part he was to play
in Mexico.
His bride gas in many respects his su-
perior. She lacked his personal nagne-
tism, was wanting in tact and adaptable
ity and alienated those who met her by
her haughtiness Of manner. But she had
the flrmness. and control in which he was
deficient. An American woman who had
access to the court during the empire In
Mexico has testified that Marshal Baz-
aine once remarked in her hearing that
Charlotte was better qualified to face the
Mexican situation than was her husband.
| Shortly after their marriage Napoleon
III. began the consummation OF his prof.
ect to establish, a European monarchy in
the new world He regarded the Austrian
Archduke as the most suitable occupant
for the throne, and consulted him on the
subject The scheme apepaled to the
vanity Of Macmillan and his wife. There
is little doubt that her influence was a
strong factor in the decision: The new
empire, she felt, would be made secure by
| the power Of Napoleon and the pope. Be.
sides, it could count on the support Of
! Austria and Belgium and and of variou.

HAS GOOD TERRITORY,
No Reason Why Blaney Oil Co.
Should Not Get Oil.

The Blsney Oil Gas and Refining
company which has just been incorpo-
rated under the laws of Arizona is
capitalized at 800. 900, the par value
of the stock being 10 cents per share
This company has some of the most
desirable oil lands in the Florence
district, having twenty year lease
on the s. W. a Of S. E. "a Of Sec. 20,
only about a half mile southwest
Of the city limits. There are several
pumping wells on each side of this
40 acres and the big gas we'll Of the
United Oil company is on the corner
of this land. There has been located
two large oil leads running from west
to east across this tract and close to
the gas we'll, and on one of these leads
the first we'll will be drilled
There are always big bodies of oil
near where there is such large flow
of gas in this field. as the oil is in
fissure leads.
The other 40 acres is the N. +. a

company has lo-year lease from the

river. This same oil lease covers
Block G.. and lots 5, 8, and in
block ID. Of the state addition ou
Pixies Peak avenue north Of city
limits. This is also good oil land.
The company will adopt a new plan
in the way of drilling for oil, and
that is to drill where the leads OF oil
have been located and not where there
are none. For the last year the presi
dent Of the company has been watch
ing this new system of finding oil and
the predictions on ten different holes
drilled proved correct. Some were
dry holes and some got oil. but all
exactly as predicted.
The Keystone Oil company after
drilling several dry holes had the
president Of the Blaney company set a
stake for location of well and they
got good producer. But there are
larger leads yet that have not been
drilled on. He has predictions made
on five other holes now being drilled.

SURE THING
Contract for Excavation Let
to w. D. White.
Work Will Probably Start Tomor-
row or Next Day and the
Building Will Be Complet-
ed in Ninety Days.

The contract for the excavatipg for
the basement and foundation of the

open inside of ninety days
The building will be of white
pressed brick, two stories and base
ment, and all modern. 1t will be as
fine an appearing structure as is pos
sible to build. All the inside work

the club TO suit themselves 1t will
contain offices, reading rooms, card
rooms. gymnasium, bathrooms, etc.
When the Tribune first published

This structure will give to Flor

of population is about a. big as Pueb-

Most Colorado people know what a
snow shed is for and many have seen
those sheds along tine ID. 4 X g.

Crossing over the Sierra Nevada the
train is more than an hour and a half
passing through the snow sheds and
tunnels. l was told these sheds are
more than forty miles long.

on the western side WAS like seeing

and the green grass WAS beginning TO
