Extracts from personal letter from
Mr.. Wing B. Allen, correspondent OF
The Daily Mining Record at Goldfield !:
Il have been writing the news OF
this camp for two years now and l
must confess l have many times sent
stuff that it was hard for me to believe
myself.
To-day the scenes being enacted in
Goldfield are simply unbelievable.
There are, at most conservative es.
innate, 10000 people here and the pro-
duction of the mines will surpass the
widest estimates of The promoters
ments l made in my news articles fell
far short of the magnificent truth--a
truth in this case which certainly
stranger than fiction.
Why did we not forsee this? The
indications were all present. The cop.
per stain, the sulphides, the broken
but rich surface pockets, all spoke in.
willingly of what might be concealed
in the depths of mother earth-3OO,
400, 500 and 1000 feet below. The man
who tells YOU he knew it all the time
is liar, and 10000 mining experts
knew less about it than anyone else
The advice of all the great mining en-
gineers in Goldfeld would not have
wrought, if followed, what those two
ordinary citizens, Hayes and Mon
nette, did on the Mohawk. l walked
over Mohawk ground an hundred
times before the strike was made and
when the stock was IA cents and
couldn't see that it was worth survey
ing A like incident happened Just
last Sunday. l got a rig and drove
around camp and, induced a gentle
man to ride with me who has fine
reputation as an engineer. We WIS.,
tied the Daisy ground in the Diamond
field section. The stock Of the COM
pany was then selling at $1.30. Twas
interested to hear what my learned
friend thought of the property. Aftef
looking it over, he said: Allen, don't
put your money in the Diamonfiell
section; keep it over the range among
the winners. I don't like the looks
of this
To-day Daisy is selling att Sc per
share and nothing could boost stock
to that price but favorable conditions
in the mine.

Latest News From the Mining Camps
Of Fe.9us County and ELSEWHERE.

The first big mining proposition
from this section that has ever been
presented to the general public fol-
support has met with f1attering sue
cess The promoters of the Barnes
King Development company recently
put the stock before the public in
Butte and the east for subscription
How well the public thinks of this
Fergus producer is shown by the fact
that the stock was quickly over-sub-
scribed, and the subscriptions at
Butte will have TO be scaled down, so
that all interested may secure shares,
This is told in the following from the
Anaconda Standard
wv. w. Chiefly and Roy S. Alley
received the following telegram from
A. ]. Campbell yesterday in regard
to the subscriptions TO the Barnes
King Development company stock:
Stock is over-subscrbed by 100000
shares. We are not trying to advertise
it here at all. Will have TO cut the
total subscriptions in Butte at least
one-third and perhaps onehalf. We
are getting things in very nice shape
at this end, and holders who are not
anxious to sell-will undoubtedly make
6oou plOII. All app eCidle very HUGH
the splendid Endorsement of the prop
erty and feel sure that the confidence
will not be misplaced.

Mile RINGoLD DEAD.

One Of Yogo's Best Known charac.
ters Passes Away.
Word was received in the city yes
teNlay morning of the death at YogO
of Mile Ringold, an old colored wom-
an, who has been a county charge for
several years. The cause of death
was dropsy. Says the Great Falls
Tribune.
The county auditor was notified d
few days ago that the old woman was
sick, and he instructed persons at
Utica to have a doctor sent up 60
Yogo from that place at the expense
of the county. Sunday morning ply
stefan from Utica drove up to the old
gold camp, but found the sick woman
beyond medical aid. She died that
evening in the old cabin in which she
had made her home for % years. The
remains were taken to Utica Monday,
and were buried in the cemetery at
that place. Her relatives some of
whom reside in Baltimore, Maryland,
will be notified of her demise.
Mile Ringold was well known
character in the Judith country. When
gold was struck on YOgO creek in
1879, she was among the foremost to
reach the camp. She had come up til 2
Missouri from the south, where she
was born slave, and had cooked al
Fort Benton, and also for an army
officers family at Fort Shaw, and was
considered one of the best cooks in
this section in the early days.
At Yogo she had cabins built aEi
conducted a hotel in a small way,
making comfortable living for her
self for several years. Finally the
c&Irn "a5 aoandoned by all but a
handful of prospectors, but the old
colored woman believed that there
was gold there, and she refused to
/ leave. She staked a number of claims

Take Care Of the Trees.

The great forests of the U. S.
are being made into boards and
the forests are only growing up
again at a vey small rate as
fast as they are beng used up.
As soon as our forests are gone
we will have to use steel, brick
cement or natural rock for build
ing material. At one time Pa,
was nearly all covered by forest
but the sawmills have made it a
treeless state compared to what it
used to be. There is still a vast
amount of timber in California,
Washington and Oregon but it is
being rapidly used as building
material.
