Important Plum Creek Venture.

important fIUm CrcSk venture.
G.. W. Canon, of this city, and Theo-
dore Lindsey. of Kendall. have decided
to F. w. Mitchell and II. NJ. Packard,
of this city. for consideration of $5,-
400, half interest in the Excelsior
group of eight claims on Plum creek,
including fine water right and
large body of valuable timber, also a
talf interest in the Diamond Drill
fraction and the Wisconsin lode
claims. These two claims join the
Bullard property on the north and lie
within 600 feet of some of the best
claims that the Barnes-King Mining
company owns. These gentlemen have
incorporated the Excelsior Gold Min
ing company with a capital stock of
81 100000 with one million shares of
par value of ST., eacn fully paid and
worcestershire, of which 100000 will
be placed on the market at once, the
proceeds to be spent in the purchase
of a diamond drill and in developing
the ore bodies already in sight. This
work will be of the highest Importance
to the Plum creek section, and much
depends upon the result of the drilling.
A large amount of money has already
been spent on the Plum creek prop
erty, many large open cuts having
been made. and two tunnels, one of
fifty feet or more and the other Of
over one hundred feet having been
run, from which they have had re-
markably good assays, with a fine
body of cyanide ore now in sight.
Mr.. Lindsey will start force of men
to work this week. some of whom
will erect the necessary buildings,
blacksmith shop, ETC., which will be
needed by the company to house the
diamond drill men while at work, while
another force of miners will be put to
work running tunnel in on a large
body of ore which has just been un-
covered.
Messrs. Canon and Lindsey have
shown their faith in the Plum creek
side of the mountains by putting ev-
cry dollar they had into these claims
for the past four years, and it is a
pleasure to know that at last they
have the ore. and that they have in
tGrested with them such sound and
successful business men as Messrs.
Mitchell and Packard are. This is
just another illustration Of where bull
dog perseverance wins, after the weak
ones have given up.
Some of the best experts in this
county who have visited the noun
tains recently, claim that the great
mother lode, which has furnished all
the free gold for the Plum creek plac-
ers for the past 90 years, will be found
either on or in the vicinity of this
property.
The company nave two water rights
capable of furnishing enough water
for two mills if necessary. and enough
timber for 20 years, right on the prop
erty.

THE ROOSEVELT GIRL.
The Most Beautiful Woman He Met
in the South.

The Most Beautiful Woman He Met
in the South.
New York, Nov 2O.-Wnen Presi-
dent Roosevelt was in Atlanta on his
recent southern tour he shattered the
traditional standard upon which the
most beautiful women of the south
have been gagged. The tall, slender,
vivacious, pink-rose girl, with big ha-
eel eyes and an abundance of soft
brown hair, who was undisputed
queen, has been detnroned. The pc
tite blonde, of the lily-of-the-valley
type, with eyes of finest blue and
crown of buff-gold hair, has taken her
place.
At the reception given to Mr.. Roose-
welt in Atlanta Miss Selma Adelaide
Allen was one among hundreds of lady
guests who in line awaited their op-
pCrtunity to be presented to the pres
ident After shaking hands with a
large number ne was interrupted by
Secretary Loeb, who told him he was
exceeding his time limit
"Oh, very WELL" said the president,
"but can't go until have been pre-
sented to that young lady over there"
pointing to the graceful, shrinking fig
ure of Miss Allen. She was told of
the presidents wish, and was led
blushing and smiling to where he stood
and was presented to lim.
II am honored," said Mr.. Roose-
welt, while holding her hand, as is
his custom with those who particu-
larly attract him, ito meet the most
beautiful woman l have seen in the
SOUTH
1t was a moment of supreme hap
piness as we'll as embarrassment to
the young lady, who managed to say,
quite modestly: "On, I thank you,
Mr.. President; but I'm afraid our
southern hospitality has blinded you
somewhat to our defects" Then the
band struck up "The Prettiest Girl
in Georgia." Men and women gather
esl congratulating the recipient of the
presidents favor, and quicker than
it can be told a new standard had
been set for the most beautiful south
ern woman.
Miss Allen is remarkably lovely
young woman, one of the fairest flow.

variations; now the south has the

One Reason for Action.

One Reason for Action.
One reason for the expected prompt
action on the part OF the Great Nor

following from an editorial in the Hell

THE great 500 line is now at I'm
derwood just north OF Bismarck. N.
d. The Canadian Pacific. arch foe of
the Hill system, owns 81 per cent OF
the 500 stock. The latter road cuts
into twenty-seven of Mr.. Hills tribu-
tary lines in North Dakota and furth-
er west Mr.. Hill is fighting with equal
determination to cut into the territory
of the Canadian Pacifics coast trade.
The logical move in the 'Soo's' fight
for a share in the business which
Hill now controls, is to come west
ward from Underwood, crossing the
Missouri just above its confluence
with the Little Missouri. crossing the
Yellowstone at Dundee, Montana, and
thence to Lewistown, Missoula. Hell
