8 Nina

A company, consisting of P. Kelley,
Hobart Mills, H. A. Steel, ]. E. Worsley,
NJ. MaSonhenner and P. Cannon, of
Kansas City, has been formed for the
purpose of developing a gold mine
which it is claimed was found by Mr..
Masonhenner in company with two
others, in Montana in the summer of
1897, and which is believed to be one
of the richest finds in that section of
the country.
Mr.. Masonhenner, in company with
two colleagues. in the summer of 1897,
went to Montana on a prospecting tour.
One day While strolling up a small
stream they noticed yellow metal inter
mingled with the gravel. which proved
to be gold. They remained there the

at which they made from 81 to S. per
day, sometimes running as high as 81
and $40 per day. When winter came
they returned to their homes in the east,
pledged to secrecy, and with intentions
is the story as it was told the Topeka
men.
The next spring the Spanish Ameri-
cen war broke out and the three en-
of the trio was killed in the battle of
Santiago.
About a year ago. it is claimed. Mr..
Masonhenner told his friend. Mr.. P.
learned of the discovery through Mr..
Cannon, and Immediately began or
ganizing the company.
Mr.. Cannon says he has the exact loca-
ton of the mine committed to writing and
in his possession, and he is the man to
whom Mr.. Kelley will look for all neces-
sary information about the mine.
Mr.. Kelley, who is stenographer for
Senator CLANCY, when asked today con-
corning the enterprise, said: We ex-
pect to have all the plans laid and be
ready to start on our prospecting tour by
the last of May. We have been watching
the papers and SO far there has been no
discoveries near the location of the Ma
sonhenner find and there is no prospect
ing being done in that locality so far as
we can learn, so we do not fear anyone
beating us to the mine. Our intentions
are to reach the place as soon after the
spring thaw we can, as the water often
brings down the evidences of the compost

The company will go to the mine in a
body and the work of developing the find
will begin soon they arrive If the
mine proves as profitable as it is believed
to be a stock company will be formed and
it will buy up the mineral rights adjacent
to the mine.
A majority of the company are grad
yates of Washburn college and are follow
ing civil engineering. Mr.. Mills Is a son
of W. W. Mills.

Lincoln in 1865. was not renorninated in
1868, but nothing could have prevented
the election of General Grant. Vice
President Arthur, who became 'presi-
dent on the death of Garfield in 1881,
was not renominated in 1884, and James
G. Blaine, the Republican nominee, was
defeated.
There appears to be little hope for the
Republican opponents of President
Roosevelt in all this.
