THE MASCOT
MINING COMPANY
Has Promising Property In This
County. Development Work
Pushed By Chicago Capital.

Although Fremont county is not
regarded as being specially rich in the
precious metals there is a group OF
mining properties along the slope OF
the Sangre de Christie range near its
western boundary that are likely to
give it prominence as producer in the
course OF year or Two. There are
several claims along the river between
Cotopaxi and Weiisyille that are be-
ing worked with more or less success,
but their exploitation is necessarily slow
owing to the difficulty Of getting capi-
tai interested in their Development.
Perhaps the best known group Of
claims in the county is that of the
Mascot Mining Company whose proper
ty is located near Wellsyille, some
three miles from the railroad. This
company is composed principally Of
Chicago men, F. L. Ream of that city
being general manager and f. E. Briggs
of Salida superintendent. There are
ouicroppings Of iead-carbonate ore on
eight of the claims owned by the Mas.
cot Company and development work is
being carried on under the belief that
there's millions in it," A shaft has
been sunk on the property during the
last year and six foot vein OF one
hundred dollar ore penetrated. More

been done and the indications point TO

assisted in reaching the shore by Arch
Tannehill who happened to be riding
along Ninth street at the time.
1t is common thing to drive horses
into the river at that place in an ordin-
sry stage OF water to allow them an
opportunity TO drink, and being famil-
lar with that fact it lie supposed that
DeVol urged his horse into the river for
tha, purpose, little realizing the dam
ger there was in doing sc when the vol
ume OF water was swollen by rains in
mountains. That the current was very
strong is evidenced by the overturning
of the vehicle and its being carried
down the stream couple Of hundred !
yards from the place where it entered
the water.
As soon as the report became cur
rent that DeVoi Was missing search
ing party was organized to look for the
body. but no trace OF IL could be
found. although q close inspection Of
the river was made for a distance of
several miles below the city. party
headed by Marshal Mackenzie and
Alderman Houle dragged the river
with graphing hooks near the scene OF
the accident Saturday morning. but to
no purpose.
The unfortunate boy is the second
son of Mr.. and Mrs. L. G. Devol Of 5o4
Diamond avenue, and came here with
his parents from Querida little over .
year ago. He had been working at
McNelly's meat market little over a
month. He has brother and sister

the opposite side Of the stream about
two hundred yards below the place
where the garbage had been dumped
badly cut and bruised and wet from its
immersion In the river. but no sign OF
the driver could be discovered.
II Is supposed that he had driven

count OF heavy rains in the mountains
the previous day, had swep, the animal
on its feet and overturned the wsgon.

Natural Cure For Rheumatism.

There is a wonderful grotto at Mon
summano, Italy, called the Grotto Gil
usti, where the natural vapor is stated
to be an infallible cure for rheuma-
tism. Fifty years ago some workmen
were quarrying for lime when they dis
covered the grotto, and it's healing pow
ers were first made known some little
time later. In the lowest portion, ap-
propriately named the Inferno, the tenn
perature is about 95 degrees f., and
here the victims from rheumatism sit
and perspire for an hour at time.
Such vapor bath is said to be Of much
greater service than a Turkish bath.
