and acres-more than he could ever
dig up.
"It's worth fortune, kid, said the
miner.
The boy had been in the West long
enough to know the mining customs,
so he immediately proceeded to stake
his claims. The next day, borrowing
a horse, he rode to Fair Play, the
county town, and registered his claims,
which were fifteen in number and
covered l2O acres. The entry had to
b. made in his mothers name, as the
boy was too young to take up the
claims legally for himself.
On returning to Gutfey he learned
that a local storekeeper had legal
right to part of the land he had
staked out, but this did not obstruct
the plans of the si1teen-year-old cap
italist. Roy promptly made the lat
ter . cash offer, which the latter ac-
cepted and has regretted ever since.
According to the laws of Colorado
no claim is valid unless 800 worth
of work is performed on it every year
for FIVE years,
Young Fits therefore at once hired
FIVE skilled miners to do this "assess-
ment work" in order that be might
establish a clear title to the land
Then, as pocket money was spent
as well as what he could borrow from
his friends, he wrote to his mother to
come aud assist him in his undertak-
ing
Experts who have examined the
mica claims declare that there Is over
$l3,OOO,OOO worth Of mica in the
mountain, making it the largest mica
quarry in the word.
Sheet mica sells for about $4,000 a
ton. The demand for it has always
been greater than the supply, over
one thousand tons having been i'm
ported from Canada and India last
year.
The duty on it is very heavy, $24O
per ton and twenty per cent advalo-
rem in addition. making in all total
tariff OF $500 per ton. Half the mica
product of the world il used in the
United States.
Mica is one Of the straugsst and
most beautiful Of the products OF
nature. A sheet an inch in thick
ness will split off into 1000 sheets
more regular and perfect than any
thing made by the hand of man.

Deal In BuHaloes.

The largest herd of buffaloes in the
world has Just changed hands. There
are IS of the animals in the bunch,
the nucleus of which was the FIVE
small buffalo calves in 1882, when
they were caught on the great plains
and placed in captivity. At that time
the Dupree family were hunting and
capturing the calves. They were
with an immense herd on the Little
Missouri river aud after being taken
were hauled in a wagon to the DuPree
rauch. They were carefully reared,
and after the first FIVE years the ~
crease has been very heavy. At diff
ferent times the animals have been
sold to msuagerier and geological
gardens throughout. the country, but
in the main they have been allowed
TO roam at will over the ! l,OOO.Fcre
tract upon which they are confined,
and consequently have lost none OF
their shyne.s where man is concerned.
James W. Phillips, a wealthy ranch
man, has purchased the entire herd
and has removed them to his ranch
in South Dakota. He has enclosed
an Immense tract OF fine grazing land
with a fence y feet nigh and very
strong. The posts are placed three
feet from each other and every pre-
caution made to properly care for the
big animals
Philips, the new owner, is himself
one of the unique characters of South
Dakota. Coming to Dakota when a
boy of l6 with nothing but the
clothes on his back, be is now mil
lionaire several times over and has
made a success OF the cattle business.
He has been a resident OF that coun
try almost 80 years and knows every
man, woman and child in it. His
early life was replete with adventures
with Indians and outlaws, and while
still young man he has seen much
of life.
Just what be intends to 10 with
his new purchase i, not clear. 1t is
reported that he intends to take the
entire herd to the Louisiana Purchase
exposition at St. Louis, that being his
scheme to attract attention to South
Dakota. From this it is said he eG-
poets to sell thousands Of acres OF
land which he owns but for which
there is no market at present.
This is by far the largest herd OF
buffalo in existence, says the New
York Herald, the second largest be.
ing that owned by Buffalo Bill in the
Big Horn basin of Wyoming. Here
Col. Cody has a herd OF about 40
bufaloes, Elk or eight Of which be
takes with him with his Wild West
show.
In the foot hills Of Montana is To-
Gated the only herd Of wild bufaloes
known. The band contains only 20
or % animals and is slowly decreas-
ing. There is a strict rule against
killing them, and they are not mo-
Tested by hunters, but occasionally
mountain wolf succeeds in pulling
down calf or a beifer In this way
the herd i. gradually losing ground,
and within few years will have die
appeared.
But the Dupree herd is fact gain
ing in number, aud within a few
years Mr.. Phillips will have more
bufaloes than be knows what TO do
with.

A LUCKY SHOT.

Roy Fits was a New York school
boy two years ago. Now he is mil
lionaire out in Colorado.
There is probably not another l8-
year-old boy in this world who can
point Winchester rife at black
tailed deer and hit a $l3,000,0OO
mine.
This is what Roy Fits did. The
bullet did not hurt the deer and it did
not hurt the mine, but it made Roy
Fitts rich and famous.
He never shot anything much in the
way OF game, but when his bullet hit
that $l3,OOO,OOO mica mine it made
amend. for many weeks Of idle tramp
ing. 1t wa. short cut to success,
such a, few have ever found. 1t en-
abled him to organize a 81 100000
mining company with an Independent
fortune in stocks in his own right.
Out Of New York's half a million
school boys Roy Fits was probably
one Of the last that you would have
picked out a, a sturdy wealth-winner.
He wag aiIt.en years old when be left
New York two years ago, and weighed
lees than ninety pounds.
Two Of his chum. were going West
with their fathers, who had gold mines
at Guffey. near Cripple Greek, COL,
and Mrs. Fits allowed Roy to accom-
pany them "to see if it would make
him grow"
Roy's first purchase when he ar
rived at the little mining village Of
Guffey was Winchester rife His
chief delight was to wander over the
mountain. with his gun and shoot at
anything be might see in the way of
game. BE was not at all particular
about the size Of it.
One morning Roy started on the
hunting trip which changed the en-
tire conr,e of his life and made him a
millionaire.
He had travelled several miles when
he flushed big black tail deer from a
bunch Of oak scrub.
He succeeded in getting within fair
rife shot Of the leer and slowly rose
to his feet behind projecting ledge
of rocks. The sun shone brightly at
his back as he brought his rife to his
shoulder.
A sharp crack, puff, of smoke, and
away went the deer faster than it
had ever travelled before in its life.
But wonder Of wonders Straight
beyond where it stood, fifty yards or
more, there flashed into the air con-
stellation of minute stars Port of
silvery spray that rose and sank and
died. Then the boy walked down to
investigate. He came upon what ap-
peared to be an old cavern.
Hundreds Of dark brown slabs were
projecting foot or more from the
ground. Here and there were great
j.gged openings in the ground, as if a
charge of dynamite had been e1plOd-
ed.
What impressed the boy most OfaIl
as be explored this extraordinary
mountain was the dazzling beauty Of
these openings.
Large fat sheets of a shining sub
stance as bright as polished silver,
framed in rose-pink feldsPar and white
sparkling gold quartz. made the boy
rub bis eyes to see if he were awake.
II fifty mirrors ware turned toward
the sun and imbsdded in pink aud
white marble spaDgled with gold dust
the effect would be similar to that pro-
duced by the cavities in the great
mountain of strange mineral which
young Fits had discovered.
Boy ike, he took some of it back to
Guffey.
Mica, said an old miner, reAec-
lively. ais there much of it? ?"
Roy told him that there were acrcs

WYE la STATUTE

Many Republican leaders who, in about wearing a worn, haggard and hunted expression are now walking the streets of the nations capital wearing a broad and expansive smile that somewhat resembles 8 crack n a frozen liver. Wherefore? Simply because on the 31 of July last the statue of limitation ran and they are forever barred from prosecution for the misdeads and speculation they indulged in while holding positions of honor and trust under the national government three years ago. There are many men who ought to have been indicted and would have been had not President Roosevelt told Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General Bristow not to investigate any of the cases where the statute of limitation would run this year. It was known in Washington also that Per " s. Heath. the secretary or the hepuDilCdn NdtlOAdi Committee, would have been one of the first to be indicted. along with Machen. if the republican leaders had not stepped in and put veto on the thing. Mir. Heath knows too much of inside workings of the cogwheels and oiling that the different parts of the machine received in the last two national campaigns. He might. as Rathbone threatened to do, Pull down the pillars of the temple" anu that would be dangerous to many in high places and leave the republican skeleton exposed in all its hideous' ness. The man who invented the statute of limitations should have a monument erected to his memory by the republican leaders, for they know how much tribulation he saved them. The next convention of that party should pass the hat around, and no one should be more liberal in his donation than President Roose- welt, for it has saved him world of annoyance and publicity. that might have jeopardized his political future. An excellent slogan for the republi cans next year would be Vive Ia Stat nte of Limitations!

THE INSULT TO MILES.

Roosevelt's cratic course of late is causing much feeling among even members of his own party. Proba- bly, the most violent evidence of this was the gross discourtesy, to put iC mildly, which he and his secretary of war offered General Miles, the re- tiring general of the United States Army.
 It will be remembered that there were three things upon which General Nils disagreed with President Me Kinley; and later with Roosevelt. These were first, the embalmed beef charges made by Miles. second, his expression of opinion on the Schley- Sampson controversy, and third. his remarks on the charges preferred against American officers for their cruelty to the Phillipine natives.
 In regard to the first, General Miles in his report stated: q hare no interests to serve but those of the army and the country and the reports
 
 balmed and was unfit for men or dogs and nothing alive could eat it. For this General Egan. then commissary general of the army called Miles a "liar" and for this was suspend ed from the army for six years. The sworn testimony of officers and men sustained Miles in his charges, and for this protest against the sacrifice of the health and lives of the men in the field. the president of the Unitei States has seen fl to insult General Miles.
 , Regarding the seconi item Miles said: II am willing to take the word of Admiral Dewey. He has been the commander of a fleet, and as such has known the anxieties and respon- abilities which rest on a man under these circums ances. I have no sympathy with the efforts which have been made to destroy the honor of an officer under such circum- stances"
 For this moderate expression Of opinion he was officially and severely reprimanded by the secretary of war. Was this an offence so great that the president of the United States must needs permit this gallant sol dier who had served his country for forty-two years bearing the wounds received in the service, to pass out of his office without even a courteous word?
 That there were cruelties prac- ticed in the Prillipines is substantia' ted beyond all reasonable doubt, for was not "Hell-roaring' Jake Smith court martialed and retired from the army, and Major Glenn was tried and found guilty of administering the "vater cure?" And President Roosevelt approved the findings oi the courtmartials in these cases, anc yet he permits the army's highes' (military) commander to retire with ont showing him even the common courtesey extended 10 retlrlhs ol fcers.
 It is safe to say the American peo nle do not now nor ever will approve or excuse, the brutal discourtese! and the cruel injustice that marked the retiring of General Miles from thu command of the army, in which h' served with gallantry and dlstincti'i for forty-two years.
