PLATINUM DISCOVERED.
Unlimited Quantities Found in Vicin.
ity Of Custer, S. o.

ity of Custer, S. o.
Custer, S. H., Dec 7.-There is con.
siderable excitement in the Chikoot
camp, eight miles west of this city
over the discovery of a large body OF
ore carrying platinum. The reports
on the ore have just been received
from Washington, where exhaustive
tests were made on samples sent
The ore is found in a vertical vein,
Is grayish in color and there seems to
be an unlimited quantity of it. The
Washington expert recommends that
extensive work be carried on and he
predicts that one of the greatest plat
mum districts in the United States
will be opened up.
The present price of platinum is $22
an ounce. There are several other
districts in Custer county that have
shown indications of this metal and a
great interest has been started by this
discovery in the Chilkoot district. Ex-
tensive work will be carried on in
other camps to find this metal.

Think Straight.

It would be impossible for a lawyer
to make reputation in his profession
while continually thinking about medi.
cine or engineering. He must think
about law and must study and become
thoroughly imbued with its principles
1t is unscientific to expect to attain
excellence or ability enough to gain
distinction in any particular line while
holding the mind upon and continually
contemplating something radically DIFF.
ferent.-Success Magazine.

OPINION OF ATTORNEYS.
Entire Chadwick Case Will Shortly Be
Uncovered.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE startling ad.
mission by President c. T. BeckWith
of the Citizens National bank OF Ober-
lin, o., that he and Cashier Spear Of
that bank had endorsed Mrs. Cassie L.
Chadwick's notes to the amount OF
S1,250,000 and that they bore what
purported to be the signature of AL
drew Carnegie has astounded the New
York lawyers representing the various
interests involved in case which he
comes more surprising with every new
revelation. That President Beckwith's s
statement brings to light new and i'm
portant phases of the case and brings
much nearer the inevitable uncovering
of the entire affair is the belief of a
majority of the attorneys interested.
A sensational report in circulation
is that one of the local counsel for
Mrs. Chadwick had decided to with
draw from the case.
Percy w. Carver, counsel for Her
bert D. Newton of Brookline, Mass,
who has claims of almost 100000
against Mrs. Chadwick, speaking of
the statement made by President
Beckwith of the Citizens National
bank of Oberlin, O., said developments
had come so fast that he did not know
what to say. He thought, however,
that Mr.. Beclwith must have made
the statement under pressure, or. be-
ing on the verge of nervous collapse,
"had lost his nerve"
Will Settle All Claims.
81 am still confident that Mrs. Chad
wick will settle all the claims against
her." Mr.. Carver said. Mr.. Carver
was asked the direct question if MI.
Newton was induced to loan Mrs.
Chadwick money on a note bearing
the name of Andrew Carnegie and he
replied, "Mr. Newton was shown a
note" He would not say, however,
whether it bore the name of Mr.. Car
negie.
Possible developments affecting the
whereabouts of a note for 100000
which President Beckwith says he en-
dorsed for Mrs. Chadwick are antici-
pated by the attorneys now that its ex-
istence has for the first time become
known publicly. Mr.. Beckwith said
that Mrs. Chadwick gave her word
not to dispose of it or raise money on
it and counsel for Herbert D. Newton
of Boston is authority for the state
ment that the Newton loan was not
based on such a note. Whether the
existence of this note will point to
other loans by Mrs. Chadwick, as yet
not made public, is matter of much
speculation.
Iri Reynolds, of the Wade Park
Banking company of Cleveland, arrived
here during the day. accompanied by
his attorney, Andrew Squire. He went
to the Waldorf-Astoria and registered,
but left there shortly afterwards for
another hotel. @
Andrew Squire, counsel for Iri
Reynolds. had a conference with Mrs.
Chadwick at the Holland House. at
it's conclusion he said:
81 am as much up in the air as any
one"
Further than this he had nothing
to say.

of DR.. A. S. Spears, were saved from
death from suffocation through the

to save the animal, but without avail
The pecuniary loss is small. Mr.
