Douglas. Jan. 16-Early yesterday morning a shooting affair took place at the Corey Island saloon on Sixth street. owned by w Bush. Bush was awakened by someone trying to get in his bedroom window. He called. but receiving no answer raised his pistol and fired at the form in the window The man fell back wounded and Bush went out to see who he had shot The wounded man proved to be Walter Dale, an employe of the car shops Judge Mcdonald was at once called and he went to the scene of the shooting where Bush gave him self up and Dale was put under arrest. Bush promised to come to court when wanted and Dale was taken to the Pullman. where his wound was dress ed. which is in his shoulder. As soon as he can be brought into court the affair will bs thoroughly investigated. It is thought that Dale was not in- tending to commit any crime when he tried to get in at the window as he had beer drinking and in some way made a mistake as to the room he wanted to enter.

has pushed the Belmont Hotel near
er the sky than any hotel in this or
any other country; but Adams is de-
termined to excel the Wall Street
man. His architects advise him To
be content with forty stories, but he
insists that the hotel shall have
forty-four floors above ground. Ad-
ans ambition for years has been
to build the biggest hotel in New
York, and to that end he began
buying lots in the quarter mention
ed some years ago. He has just sue
ceeded in getting the last ones. A
syndicate with a capital of 5,000,-
600 has been organized and the work
will proceed at once. The site of
the proposed new hotel has greatly
increased in value because of the
erection of the new terminal of the
Pennsylvania railroad nearby, at
Thirty-third street and Seventh ave-
nue.. Years ago, when the property
was apparently of little value, Mr..
Adams recognized its possibilities
and invested about $1,000, 900 in
tenement houses in that neighbor-
hood.

A Region of Gold.

The six properties are In such
close proximity that one large reduc-
ton and smelling plant will suffice
for all. The greatest distance of any
of the mines from the Mexican CEN
trail railway is eight miles. A sta
ton, named Silao, already exists,
and the construction of a trolley
freight and ore road thence to La
Luz will not be a difficult undertak-
ing The seven properties have been
managed by the well-known Caste
media family of bankers since 1s4S;
but death recently made a division
of the estates necessary. Only after
keen comptition were the Adams
people able to secure the six valu-
able properties.
La Luz mines are situated in the
neighborhood of Guanajuato, one of
the oldest capitals Of any State in
Mexico.
Guanajuato is the greatest gold and
silver state in the republic. It's CAPT
tai, a beautiful city OF $1,000 inhab-
itants, is one of the wealthiest min
ing centers of the Western World
More than 500 ,0o0, 900 worth of gold
and silver has been taken from the
mines in its immediate locality. The
city is also identified with the earli-
est struggles for Mexican liberty
from the odious yoke of Spain. Mi
guel Hidalgo Y Costilla, the first
leader of the insurrection against
Spain, was born at Guanajuato on
May 8, 1853. He was curate of the
hamlet of Dolores, where he pro
nounced' against Spanish domina-
ton on September 16, 1910, and gath
cred about him an undisciplined
army, much like the mob that start
ed on the Crusades during the Mid

lowing he marched toward the CITY
of Mexico and defeated Truxillo on
October 80, 1910; but he was at

This patriotic enterprise indicates
that Al Adams, as he prefers to
be called. has not lost faith in his
adopted city. He goes to Mexico
because he has invested almost
million dollars there and regards
it as the greatest field in the modern
world for quick financial reward

est man in dealing with his career
is Albert ]. Adams himself. He
hasn't a high opinion of most men
who have amassed large fortunes
because he knows the sacrifices that
have TO be aade in the beginning
and the necessary straining of con-
science. He believes that in all

Adams viii have lis box during the
season, just as he has had in New
York. Personally, he doesn't care
fer the opera, but the members of
his family are constant attendants.
Al Adams was born in Massa-

career as q brakeman on the New
York Central railroad. AS Cap

brewery at College Point and one
of the most prosperous furniture

Although Adams recently sold
what would be considered a large
parcel of real estate, it was only
small portion of his holdings in
the city of New York. The large
sum realized in cash viii furnish

jected hotel enterprises. Al Adams

When it seemed imperative that
Al Adams should make "a complete
change Of environment to prolong
his life, he sent one of his sons TO
Mexico 10 seek out a field for new
endeavor. That young man, Law
renee P. Adams, is a practical mill
ing engineer, educated in one of the
best polytechnic schools of America.
He went to the republic with a def
mite purpose, supplied with financial
equipment necessary to obtain
truthful information. No matter how
trustworthy the reports made TO him
might. be, he personally examined
every locality offered for his consid-
Grafton. In the end he decided upon
La Luz territory as being the only
section of Mexico that did not con-
stitute "a gamble" IN mining propo-
sitions. This was exactly the prop
osition that appealed to the king

None of that" for Al Adams, Tnis
time he wanted a sure thing" John
Hays Hammond and score of world
famous experts were sent into the
La Luz territory. The opinion was
compelling under the most conserva-
tive Interpretation of the reports.
La Luz has a history as old as the
days of Cortez and Pizarro, but that
did not count in the verdict rendered
by the modern expert, thoroughly
acquainted with the latest methods
of handling gold and silver ores.

Adams has had his troubles in the

feels only one inspiration, namely,
to become one of the very wealthy
men of this era, Worth at least

make himself possessor OF half

his money and transmit to his sons,
who are clever, college-bred men.
They will begin where he leaves off
and will achieve what he will sug-
gest to them. 1t is a dream Of Col
conda, but a thoroughly practical
one.
The "Old Man. as ne likes to be
called, has acquired six of the most
remarkable mines in La Luz dis
trict of Mexico. This region is the
treasure house of the Mexican Re
public. John Hays Hammond, one
of the best authorities in the Eng

visited La Luz and said: 'It is the

although the primitive methods Of
handling enabled the Mexicans to
recover only a portion Of the values.
As a rule, they declined to work any
