Nr. Wilson spent from August, 1895.
to September, 1887, working as a re-
porter on the Denver Republican. At
the same time j. n. King was re-
porter on the Denver Times and r. s.
Foster. a reporter on the Rocky Noun
tain n eWs- These three reporters were
personal friends. It often fell to the lot
of-each of them to go out over the state
ana write up towns and mining camps.
Nearly every prospective mine they
wrote up was incorporated.
It was the custom in these days for
the promoter of the mine to give
newspaper reporter a few shares of
stock in his mine. These shares of stock

Before leaving Denver the boys agreed
TO throw their mining stocks into hotch-

equally. They had a great mass of it
and left it all with firm Of mining
brokers' Finally came an inquiry from
the brokers wanting to know what they
would take for the whole lot. They
made a random offer to take 800. 600.
The result was that last week Wilson,
King and Foster met in Kansas City
with a representative of the firm of
brokers. They got their 500 600 less

HIS ORATORY IN DEMAND
A Notable Address Made by w. W. Erwin
at Miami, Fla, His New
Home.

A Notable Address Made by w. w. Erwin
at Miami, Fla, His New
Home.
w, w. Erwin, late Of Minneapolis, has
blossomed out as a prophet Of greatness
in store for Miami, Fla, where he is now
practicing law. His speech on 1.-The New
Reconstruction of the South" delivered
at a citizens celebration of the beginning
of the work Of dredging the deep water
channel from Miami to the sea at the
Royal Palm hotel, the evening of March
26, is printed in full under large head
lines in the Miami Metropolis of the issue
of March 81.
The dinner was complimentary to Henry
M Flager, who has been chiefly instru-
mental in the plans now under way for
"perfecting the most southern harbor on
the mainland Of the republic" and Mr..
Erwin was the orator of the evening. Mr..
Erwin predicted that Miami was destined,
because of Mr.. Flagers enterprise, to be-
| come the great commercial mart and the
most important magazine and fortress OF
the western world.
Mr.. Erwin directed attention to the fact
that the Panama canal would place Miam
as the first and nearest port to the cot.
ton fields of the south. Miami was 2,00(
miles nearer Hongkong by the Panama
canal than by the Suez canal, and thu
same distance from Hongkong by waite
as St. Louis or Chicago are a route
which requires both cities to haul by raj
a distance of $500 miles. The Panama
canal would be the main highway to tn
orient and ''by it's construction woul
