new COAL MINE A WINNER
Located on Section Sc. Township 10. Range
IS. IS inch Vain Of Coal that Is Get
ting Hard at 40 Feet From Mouth
Of Tunnel

The new coal mine located and
operated by d. E. Winsor on
Section 36, Township 10, Range So,
is proving to be the best vain of
coal in this part Of the district.
Kelly and Popp the two men who
are running the tunnel are in
about 30 feet and by tomorrow
they will have good coal for the
market. This mine was inspect
ed last Sunday by a representa-
tive of the Sun and was found to
be in better shape than was to be
expected. The vain is the width
of a pick handle and is yet hardly
out of grass roots and IA almost
fit for fual Sunday, and by the
time the men get in 30 feet more
the coal will be in good shape and
Al hard as any of the coal that
is found in either of the old or
new Phillips mines. At the time
we looked at the vain there was still
grass and sage brush roots in it
and the coal shows that it would
be a very hard a%rtical before long
as it is already has the sidney
appearance of some of the best
coal in the country. AS soon as
this new vain is opened up it will
at once be placed on the market
and will certainly prove a winner
with both the consumer and the
coal haulers as it is from two to
three miles closer to town and
there is no pulls out of the mine
and nothing to speak of from
there clear into town. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Chidister has shut
down and will not put out any
more coal only for his own use.

PROVING A SENSATION
Frank Brewer Supposed to be Married
to Miss Maude Tompson here Yester-
day Married in Cheyenne

Marriage license was granted
to Frank Brewer of this place and
Miss Maude Thompson of Enc
ampment the first of the week and
they were to be married at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Brew
er on Spring creek yesterday.
The Cheyenne Tribune yesterday
gave out the startling report that
Miss Edith /. Havens and Frank
Brewer were united in hat city
Tuesday, and we have it from
good source that they were seer
in Cheyenne and that Brewer was
introducing Miss Ravens as his
wife to people from this valley
that are well acquainted with both
parties. 1t was stated in the
Tribune that Brewer would not
swear to the age of either one he
or his intended when he went to
secure the license, but latter they
were both compelled to swear,
and the license was granted.
Yesterday evening We were
shown the marriage license on
Judge Blood's desk issued from
this county to Miss Maude Temp
son and Frank Brewer and as yet
last night they uncalled for,
Judge Blood was compelled to get
the written consent from Mrs.
Brewer owing to the fact that
Frank was yet only 10 years old,
before he could send for them.
The Judge had a telephone
yesterday morning from the par
ents of Miss Thompson saking if
he had secured the license and if
Brewer had called for them as
they had not seen nor heard from
him for five or six days. Every
thing was in readiness at the Brew
er ranch for the wedding and the
gueste were invited for a wedding
dance but if the above is SO there
will have to be some different ar
engagements.
The securing of the licenss was
either a bluff or else Frank made
up his mind later to marie the
Ravens girl.
Later-Mr. Brewer was in town
last night and said that they had
been Kidding all over the hills for
Frank expecting to find him hurt
from his horse falling, but yes
ter day they saw Mr.. Swanson and
he stated that Frank had gone to
Cheyenne and that he had hired a
team and rig from D.. S. Richmond
and that he (Swanson) had
brought the team back from WAL
colt. 1t seems that the above is
true and they have eloped.

An April Feol Joke wl.h Horns.

Last Saturday q prominent cat- tleman from the Santa Cruz was in Nogales, and some of the prac- tical jokers "rigged" him in great shape. He was called into the telephone office with the informa- tion that someone desired to talk with him over the phone. He was connected with Jack Gates place, and the man at that end of the wire mendaciously informed him that he was cattle buyer from Newton, Kansas, and wanted to know if he could sell him a lot ot three-year-old steers. The prom inent cattleman was instantly all attention, and said The could just do that.n
 How many can you deliver2"
 About one thousand"
 "What price?"
 "Nineteen Dollars all around"
 "How many are whitefaces?"
 About three-fourths of them"
 "Mr. Francis, of Newton, has told me your cattle are good stock, and I think I will come down and look them over"
 Goodl I will meet you at the train," and d long direction about coming was given. The victim of the joke went home in exstacies.

For a Time War With Ger many Thought Probable
A FRENCH WEAKENING
A Consent to an International Con-
 ference on the Moroccan Question
 on Guarantees Which Germany was Ready to Offer from Beginning

Paris, June 17.-The strained rela- reached a culminating stage today and for a time the public mind was dis tracted between the reports that the two countries were on the eve of war that would set Europe ablaze, and re- assuring declarations that diplomacy still held a firm grasp on the situation. Fortunately the situation was much relieved tonight after a long confer ence between Prince Won Radolin, the German ambassador to France and Premier Rouvier, which took place at the foreign office. This distinctly show ed that diplomatic intercourse had not reached a point of rupture.
 Moreover it is known that exchanges between Prince Won Radolin and the French premier, which seemed on the point of breaking yesterday, were again brought within normal channels. At the same time alarmist reports had thor ! oughly aroused the public apprehen- sion that grave eventualities were pos sibIe.
 The conference between Prince Van Radolin and M. Rouvier appears to have been decisive in restoring a better state of feeling, besides reopening pour 1 parleur. France at the outset was not disposed to. accept an international con- | ference on the Morocco question while | Germany was insistent. The effect of this was to create a direct issue as to whether a conference should be held but the issue does not longer appear to | be insurmountable.
 France has shown a disposition to ! consider the question of conference if 1 Germany will give full assurance that this does not mean the sacrifice of any right which France has acquired or of the obligations incurred by other in- i ternatiOnaI agreements in the confer
 ence on the Morocco question. In short l France wants to be assured that the
 conference project is not designed tc limit or discredit the F'ranco-British
 the Franco spanish O: the. Franco Italian agreements so far as they affect Morocco. Once assured of these points
 it is likely that the chief objections tC
 a conference are removed
 Incuiry tonight in the highest Ger man quarters shows it is Germany's purpose to give every reasonable as
 surance on these points. It was saiC also that Germany sincerely desired tC avoid the appearance of placing France in any embarrassing or humiliating po- sition and it was added that this would be made known to Premier ROuvier II
 the strongest possible manner. More
 over Germany is ready to remove. i
 possible, any apprehension French of
 ficials may entei tain that she seek:
 territorial aggrandiZeHent in Morocco
 or a port on the Moroccan coast. Th'
 chief point of Germany would be t'
 ask for the conference as a guarante'
 that Germany shall enjoy an open doc
 to Morocco and she does not want t'
 accept this guarantee through an An
 glo- French entente.

Mayor DGnne Hurrying to Put His Platform Into Effect.

Chicago, June 17.-MayOr Dunne on Monday will ask the city council to authorize the commissioner of public works to advertise for bids to con struct and fully equip 100 miles of street railway to be operated for and by the city of Chicago. The demo- cratic members of the docal transpor- tation committee have promised the mayor that they will support his rec ommendation in the council. The mayor desires that the construction
 of the municipal street railways shall be commenced just as soon as the va lidity of the certificates issued under
 the Mueller law from the sale of which the money to finance the street railways is to come, has been delivered by the supreme court. It is also his intention to have the voters of the city pass on the question of municipal operation at the election next Monday.

New York, June 17.-Seventeen thousand persons saw Yale win the third and deciding game for the base ball championship of 1905, between Yale and Princeton, at the polo grounds today. Yale's victory was somewhat unexpected but it was gain ed by a fairly good margin, the final score being 8 to 5 against the New Jersey Collegians.
 Princeton won the first of the series with a score of IS to ?, and Yale won the second with a score of 3 to 2. From the first to the seventh inning of today's game Princeton was unable to solve Jackson's delivery and Yale outplayed the New Jersey men at ev- cry point. In the seventh the Prince tonians, encouraged by the songs and cries of their partisans, braced up.

WAR IS IMPROBABLE.
But the Franco German Situation Is
 Exceedingly Delicate.

Washington, June 17.-Reassuring advices reached Washington today from official organs regarding the Moroccan negotiations at Paris, which, while they indicate that war between Germany and France is improbable, indicate an extreme delicacy of sitU ation. Berlin takes a much more optimistic view of the situation than Paris. Germany claims that the ne gotiations are proceeding with the ut most good will on both sides and with a probability of an early settlement of all the existing difficulties. Paris also professed good will and spirit of friendliness, but is unable to fore see the outcome and is exceedingly anxious to find out what is back of Morocco and what are Germany's real intentions"
 This is the light in which the sit uation has been presented to Wash ington. Diplomatists here attach con siderable significance to the prompt ness and frankness with which Elm peror William and President Loubet have kept President Roosevelt in. formed of each development in the sit uatiOn and to the care which both have taken to present their respective positions in full at the White House. In the event of the failure of the Paris negotiations a European ambassador tonight expressed the belief that the president may be called on for assis- tance. Both Germany and France. who are refraining from any direct effort to draw in the United States. know informally that this government does not consider the American inter ests in Morocco sufficient to warrant any initiative on the part of the pres ident regarding the invitation of the sultan to the powers to participate in an international conference. The American acceptance of that invita- ton will be on condition that the pow CTS signatoTy to the Madrid conven- tion are in favor of such a confer ence.
 Both Germany and France, however. are inclined to hope for sympathy from this country. Germany on the ground of the emperor's demand for an open door in Morocco will appeal to American commerce, and France, on the ground that before action was taken by this country in the Perdic- aris case the state department re- quested the good offices of the French government in securing the release of
