WONDERFUL GOLD NINE.
The little Johnny ut LeadviIle Producing
Nearly 90. 900. 900 q Year.

-
DENVER, Sept. 7~.-Startling revelations
Of the value of the Little Johnny gold mine
at Leadville ave been made in the Federal
court by an expert employed to examine
the books Of the hex Mining Company
in a suit brought by r. A. Mum against the
company for an accounting. Expert 40
countant W. G. Austin charges that nearly
100, 1000 tons Of ore were sold by the men In
control, some Of which ran over 100 ounces
OF gold to the ton, besides being very high In
silver values, and he charges hat no account
for this was ever made to the stockholders.
Besides developing a great scandal the
report Of the expert shows the Little Johnny
mine to be one Of the greatest that haa
ever been discovered and makes it's owners
the wealthiest in the State. After being
worked for all these years the management
ia to-day shipping ore at the rate OF 1000
tons a month, and this ore uns about 500
TO the ton, which means q production Of
nearly 100000 o a year. There are about
twenty-five miles Of underground workings
and the announcement was made less than
a week q Of the discovery OF a fifteen
pound nugget. The expert in his report
says that between 1890 and 1901 the COM
pany deposited ss,77l sos In the Carbonate
National Bank at Leadville, and he adds:

DADY GETS A o L
Firth Assembly Election DtstrIet Captains
UnanlmOua for wOOdruR.


Col. Michael ]. Dady got a hard slap last
night at the meeting OF the election district
captains OF the Republican organization
OF the Fifth Assembly district In Kings
county. The meeting was held in the Kings
County Republican Club. Williamsburg.
Twenty-one election district captains were
present. EX-Eaval Officer Robert ShArkey
presided.
Ellis Cunningham offered q resolution
to the effect that the election district cap
tains favor Timothy l.. Woodruff as the
leader of the Kings county Republicans and
that the delegates to the State convention
should go unpledged. The resolution was
adopted unanimously and Woodruff's name
was cheered.
William Cloyes in q speech declared that
Leader Sharkey must tand loyal to the
organization in Kings county and must not
commit political suicide by opposing Wood
run.
Sharkey replied that he would be for
Woodruff a. long az Woodruff was leader
of the county organization.
Field Marshal Mike Dady yesterday
lugged In the name Of President Roosevelt
is making in Brooklyn for the Odell-Quigg
combine and against the leadership Of
Timothy l.. Woodruff. To the reporters
who called at his almost deserted head
quarters in the Clarendon Hotel he thus
delivered himself:
Il believe President Roosevelt is IN favor
Of the nomination Of Charles Z. Hughes.
/ am informed by a gentleman who saw
the President at Oyster Bay yesterday that
the President told him he believed Hughes
was the strongest man that could be named.
Veteran Republicans In Brooklyn regard
Col. Dady's uprising as a mere tnhing
skirmish. Many friends OF Col. Dady,
realizing that he is going to cut a sorry
to give UP the Odell- Quigg alliance, make
peace with Mr.. Woodruff and then fit OF
on one OF his periodical trips to Havana.
1t In the general impression that he will
be one Of the chief partioipators at a politi-
cal love feast before primary day rolls
around.

When the will Of the late william ziegler
was fled for probate after his death, In
May last year at his country place at Moro
ton, Conn.,, II was found that he left prac-
tically thu whole Of his estate to his adopted
son, William Ziegler, Jr., and that to his
widow he had bequesthed only an annuity
Of $4,000 o year, his country house and his
town residence at GA Fifth emu
The widow was dissatisfied with the pro-
visions OF the will, although she was willing
that the greater part Of the estate should
go to tho adopted son. She started TO
contest the will, alleging that her husbands
mental condition at the time he made the
will was not such as to enable him TO make
a proper testamentary disposition Of his
property.
Since the announcement Of the beginning
Of the suit nothing has beer heard d IL

The executors are Justice william J..
Gaynor, William s. Champ and the widow,
Mrs. T.. Matilda Ziegler. The report Of
the executors shows that after all expendi-
lures on the estate have been met the resi-
due remaining TO the credit Of the adopted
son. who Ls now Is years old, amounts to
SI3, ssl 1856. At the time OF Mr.. Ziegier's
death the estimates Of his fortune ranged
from $40, 700, 900 to $50 900 900. The boy
will not come into his inheritance until he
reaches the age OF 20 years, and 1t Ii esti-
mated that by that time the estate which
will come TO him will have increased to at
least $40, 600 900.
Until he attains his majority the execu-
tors will provide for his support and educa-
ton and for this purpose IL Is understood
they AVE decided on an allowance OF
sSO,O 600 q year. When he attains his twenty
first year the executors, under the power
given TO them in the will, intend TO increase
this allowance.
Mr.. Ziegler was the head Of the baking
powder trust and his monetary interest
In the Royal Baking Powder Company,
when he died, amounted to about 5000, 900.
One OF the items Of the Indebtedness paid
by the executors after Mr.. Ziegler's death
was t23, 274, balance Of the coSt Of the expe-

People Must Answer IN November keI
Shall We Give the PRECEDENT q Congress
That VIII Bac Him I'D In His work.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Charles J. Bona
parte, Secretary Of the Navy. fresh from
q conference with the President, dictated
q statement to-day respecting the issues
in the present Congress campaign and
emphaticaIly declared that President Roose-
welt Is the issue. He spoke deliberately

nounced In the view that President Roose-
welt win carry on for tho NEXT Two years
his campaign against the trusts and Bile
the people from sotne Of the supposed bur-
dens that they are carrying in consequence
Of trust organization and methods.
Though using the first person through
out Secretary B~onaparte's references to the
President were made in such a way that
1t Ia fair to assume that he spoke with the
Presidents sanction.
Il am ready, he said. TO accept APP
proval or disapproval OF the President as
the issue for this autumn's campaign. /
think II is the true and practical issue n
that any other Ia either a pretended or
merely academic issue at this time. There
il room for gable by demagogues about
'plutocracy' and trusts but every sensible
and well informed man knows and every
honest and truthful man knows that during
the next two years the wrong doing Of
plutocrats and trust ma gnates will be
remedied under the guidance OF Theodore
Roosevelt or will not be remedied at all.
There In room. as there always has been,
for an honest difference Of opinion a. to the
relative merits OF protection and free trade,
but no one in his senses believes or who
tells the truth pretends TO believe that the
next Congress can or will introduce free
trade or revise the tariff with any leaning
toward free trade.
-The real question which the American
people must answer at the polls in Novem-
Der is this: Will we give the President q
House Of Representatives to back him up
in his work or a House OF Representatives
10 thwart him in his work. Do we wish a
Congress which will help him to do things
or a Congress which will find bubbles on
which to rail at him and obstructions by
which to impede him in doing thingsP
We know what things he has done and
what things he means to do II he can Do
we want these things one or nothing done?
In brief, will we give him the Congress he
wishes and asks for or a Congress rs nearly
as may be the opposite OF what he wishes
and asks forp or course l speak only for
myself, but Il my mind that Ia the question
TO be answered In November, and person.
