SOLD TO THE BANNER DEVELOPMENT
COMPANY FOR A NEAT SUM.
VEIN EXTENSION or OLD SETTLER
DEAL WAS MADE BY H. A. REIoEL IN
VESTMENT COMPANY WHICH
HOLDS LARGE INTERESTS.


mated in Denver Tuesday of this week
when the Harrison group Of eighteen
patented claims on the north side OF Trail
creek, were sold by John Morgan, to the
Banner Development company. The
consideration, while not made public, is
known to be in the neighborhood of
Sroo 600 The deal was made by the II.
A. Reidel Investment company, the we'll
known brokerage firm of Colorado Springs
and Denver
The group is partially developed by
cross cut tunnel which has been driven
distance OF 100 feet, and by driving an
additional $50 feet will reach the Robin
vein, which is the eastern extension of
the Old Settler, one of the earliest To-
cations and richest claims in the section.
The Old Settler in the spring of 1868
caused considerable excitement. and a
contest over the ownership of rich body
of ore caused one of the claimants to
have troupe of federal cavalry brought
from Fort Leavenworth under the
claim that the men in possession OF the
mine were southern sympathisers-
When the men in possession heard that
Union flag to the top of the tallest pine
tree after trimming off the lower limbs.
The claim was later called the Flagstaff.
II is said that one man was killed
during the controversy and his body
was buried in the vein at a point OF
100 feet cas-, OF the main shaft. A large
boulder without any inscription marks
the spot.
The principal claims of the group are
the Harrison, Morgan and Union claims.

Mexico City. Mexico, Nov l0.-A
thorough search Is finally 10 be made
for the diamond fields believed to tx
list in the remote section of the state
of Guerrero. A strong company is
now being organized to conduct the
xploratlon and exploration. There
is circumstantial ev dence which
amounts to almost positive & proof
that there Is a diamond mine in that
region. The location of the mine s
e'eved to be known to the Indians
who have their homes in the CAila-
pa district. Four years ago Messrs.
Dupin and Courmont, two prominent
Frenchmen OF this city, went in
search of the diamond mine, They
were nearing It's reported location,
when they were attacked by natives
and both were killed.
Vinc.nte Guerrero, one of the ne
roes of the Mexican independence, Is
said to have known of this mine, and
20 have given two OF the stonss to
Hurbide. Distinguished professors
OF the school of mines of this city
Seniors Andres del Rio, Cotero and
Del Moral, examined stones which
they declared to be diamonds as pure
as those of India. The story of the
diamond mine was tod by Prof
Manner del Rio in 1888 at a NEST

statistics OF Mexico. Prof. del Rio

London, Nov. 15.--The hippo

from the earth. The author as
sumes in this instance that all of the
inhabitants of the far-off planet are
men. and the appearance there of
women from the earth causes the ut
most establishment among the ma
tives.

ences between ourselves and our
celestial cousins. For instance the

hear laughter for the first time and,
thinking It is novel form of dis
ease, attempt to cure the visitors.

laid I'm the lake country of Cumber-
land. The startling incident, for
the working of which special ma
chinery is being built, will illustrate
the bursting of a dam in sight of the
audience and the sinking of houses

QUESTION OF RIGHT MAN

New York Nov. 15.--Salaries of
$4,000 and $4,000 are not too
high, in the opinion of Il. ii. Gary,
one time judge in Illinois. As chair
man of the executive committee OF
tho s1,O00,O00,0O0 United States
steel corporation, he draws a salary
of 500. 600, and he thinks J. p. Nor
gan would be bargain at $1,000
600 a year to any big bank. The
steel trust has two men drawing
100000 each, and pays annually
$4,000, 900 in wages and salaries.
1T is not that the salaries paid to
the heads OF great business corpora
lions today are too large; the real
question Is whether the right men
are drawing the salaries said Mr..
Gary.
"No man acquainted with the in
creased responsibilities arising out OF
modern business methods and condi-
tons will say that 100000 Is too
large a salary for the president OF the
New York Life Insurance company or
that $4,000 is an unreasonable
salary for the president of the Mu-
tual Life Insurance company. These
corporations handle hundreds of
millions of dollars and slight errors
of Judgment might cost them sums so
large as to make such salaries seem
trifiing by comparison.
THE tendency OF the business
world just now is not to search for
men who win take low salaries. but
to find men who will deserve high
salaries" he continued. THAT is
the policy of the steel corporation
and It is the policy of all other -four
ishing business enterprises. The
question of the size of the salary is a
small matter compared to the ques-
ton of the right man in the right
place. One man may be cheap at
$1,000 a year. while another man
in the same position might be dear
at $4,000 year.
"In looking over the capable and
successful men OF the world for large
figures one naturally thinks. for In
stance. OF ]. Pierpont Morgan and
opportunities for a salary. But can
we doubt that any of the great banks
of tho world could well AFFORD, as a
matter of sound business. to pay Mr..
Morgan $1,000. 900 year for his un-
divided services?
'In my judgment Mr.. Morgan's
services. viewed from the commercial
standpoint. would make salary OF
$1,000 900 year look small. Yet
some other man filling the same
place. or trying TO fiji II, might not
be worth $4,000 or even $4,000 a
yoai
"Take such man as President
Cassatt OF the Pennsylvania Railway
company, who has had to determine
the expenditure of $4,000, 900
within comparatively short time.
Think of the knowledge, experience
and good judgment required to deal
with problems like that--not only
tho main policy. but the complex de-
tails upon which the main policy
must rest. To get at common
sense view of MIR. Cassatt,s salary,
try to imagine what II would cost
