n MONTPELIER, w, May 13.-Onc Of
tl,e Interesting old houses Of Mon tpelicr
Is the old Cross house, In Elm street

some oriental sort. There are strangely
CARRIED figures, tall minarets, boats WIN
lhtcen sails, camels and foreign LOOKING
temples, woven into scenes thatf appear;
10 lave some. significance, though Just
what Is not known.
The paper differs from ordinary wall
paper in that instead OF a repetition OF
one design, there is a separate scene lor
each side OF THE room and II chimney

In the scenes and figures. There 5S IS
nothing gaudy or glazing about IT, bu!
the whole effect Is like that of soft

This paper is imported from Paris and
was very costly. and as the patterns
must be mat ched exactly and scenes Sc.
lected to mt the various portions OF the
wall, the hanging alone was matter
Of large expense. In ono case 500 was
paid a paper hanger from Boston to
paper one room. There are not more
than half dozen houses known to tho
antiquarian having such decorations, and
these are in Massachusetts and New
Hampshire, In and about Portsmouth.
There have been several In Vermont,

Is as bright and fresh as when new.

scrnmcnt ever had to contend when
Major Gordon w. Lille, more widely
known as "Pawnec Bill" brought his
wild West show to this city last sea-
son tile most Interested spectator OF
the multitudes was Geronimo, who, With
the remnant OF his tribe, is a prisoner
Of war on the Fort Sill military reserva-
tion So much was the old Indian In

Geronimo was robed IN MS mes.
buckskln suit, his feet were moccaslned
With shoes more. valuable than any
worn by millonaries. his face was
palnted with the brightest paints that
gilded the faces Of warriors In war
times and his head was feathered with
red and blue until 1t appeared to bow
in obedience only to tho topping weight.
Geronimo begged hard to be taken as
part Of the show, and Major IIillle,
keenly alive to the money side OF the
idea. told his business manager. Oscar
]. Krause, to find out what. could ne
done to secure q release OF the Indian
for the show season.
Secretary Tafe Relents.
The interest OF army officers was en-
listed, and the matter of Geronimo's
release from military custody was pre-
scented 10 Secretary Taft, Of the war
Depa rtment. A few days ago Mr..
1Ira,,se received the old chiefs release,
signed by the secretary of war, and
tho day following he entered Into con-
tract with Geronimo whereby, the old
indian engages himself to the W!ld
West Show for the season beginning

Accompanying Geronimo Will be ms

male members OF tho Apache tribe VINO
will act as interpreter. Geronimo would
not think OF leaving his family, and IN
sisted that they be taken along. 10
This Mr.. Krnuse did not object, for they
only add to the splendid advertisement
that Gernimo will give them,
Geronimo Is seventy-four years old,
and has been a prisoner of war on the
Fort Sill reservation for about twenty
years, having been captured in Arizona
by Gen. I,awton. Of the United States
Army, In whose honor the city OF Law

tract MS tho writ Of freedom. This IS
what he has been seeking for number
OF years and there is % happier man
In the United States to-day than Geron'-
mo the liberated, On the day OF
Geronimo's departure from the post the
men OF the four troops of cavalry sta
toned at Fort Sill will form two lines,
crossing their swords in the form
of archs and the old man will walk
beneath, thus making q triumphant
exit from his prison of twenty years.

MAYFLOWER MINES.
Results Of First Clean up Were
Very Satisfactory.

Dan Stalter came in from th
Mayfower mines in the Greenhor
district, Monday having been thre
davs on the road on horseback.
! Dan is a we'll pleased man. II
has good reasons to feel we'll owe
the results of his labor. For 81.
years he has been working th,
present property which he ha
now in shape to take out th'
yellow metal.
Mr.. Stalter to Gazette repre-
sentative said: "Everything ii
now Installed and l have as fine {
little plant as you will find in the
Greanhorn mountains.
Mr.. Stalter runs his stamp mill
with water power, but owing tc
the dry season the water is very
low and the test run which was
only for parts of four days is
hardly a fair test of what the mill
will do.
Even with the disadvantage of
the short run Mr.. Stalter is highly
pleased. He has proven that the
ore from the MayAower group con-
tains gold and in paying quanti-
ties. In evidence of this he
brought out five bars, real gold
bricks.
Along with the bars of free gold
Mr.. Stalter brought out quantity
of concentrates for assay. He
went to Portland yesterday morn
ing for that purpose.
AS soon as Mr.. Stalter comes back
from Portland he will go back to
the mines and will run until
A number of Heppner people
are interested in the Stalter min
ing proposition. The ore which
the test has proven to be of value,
ls located so that it can be easily
and cheaply worked. The stamp
mill which is now ready for work
md also a small sawmill are both
:un by water power and can be
operated at very small expense.
Mr.. Stalter is an old miner
having prospected in the Greeu-
,orn mountains for the past Is
7ears. About six years ago he
discovered what is now known as
he Mayhower group which he has
,een working ever since.
