Death Of Mrs. Andrews.

News was received here last week an
nouncing the death of Mrs. Edwin An
drews at Denver, Colorado, on Thurs
day, Oct. Is, 1906, after an illness of
several months.

lS43, in the town of Redruth, Cornwall,

to Mr.. Edwin Andrews. About one
year later they removed to Des Moines,
Iowa, and after staying there some
years took their departure for Denver,
which place has ever since been their
| home.
Deceased was of a quiet and unas-
Stunning disposition, yet ever ready to
render helping hand when needed.
She joined the church when young and
for many years was faithful and con-
sistent member. During her latter
years she became especially active in
the Lord S work and will be much miss
ed by the people among whom she has
labored. Her last days were made
bright and cheerful by a consciousness
of the divine presence, and those who
attended her in those days witness to
her hopefuiress, which was as burn
ing light, shining brighter and brighter
unto the end.
She leaves to mourn her departure,
her husband, mother, Mrs. John Gray
of this city, one brother, John l.. Gray,
and four sisters-Miss Grace Gray, Mrs.
r. J. Penhallegon, Jr., Mrs. Frank E.
Hanscom, all of this city, and Mrs. Pet
tbs of Chicago.
The remains arrived here Saturday
and the funeral was held on Sunday, be-
ing attended by large number of rela-
tives and friends, Rev. w. T. Walker
officiating. Interment in Graceland.
Mr.. Andrews being an honored men,
Der of Geo. H. Legate Post, G. A. R.,
of this city, his comrades met in body
at the depot and escorted the remains
of the beloved departed to the home of
the grief stricken mother, and per-
formed like act of respect at the

Badger-Hawkeye Wedding.

Yesterday, the 25th, Mr.. William B.
Bennett, recently of Mineral Point and
a nephew of the Tribune publisher, was
united in marriage to Miss Florence
Moffatt at the BRIDES home in Daven-
port, Iowa.
Though relative, we would be remiss
in our duty as chronicler Of events to
omit from this notice the fact that
Will must be numbered among those
who reflect honor on the place of his
boyhood and also on the foremost insti-
tuition of learning in the state. Many
under more favorable circumstances
have fell by the wayside in an endeavor
to successfully master the difficult
studies of civil engineering. AS re-
ward for his unyielding perseverance
Will was last spring summoned to New
York to aid in the work of putting
through large tunnel by the COM
pressed air process. So hazardous is
the work men are restrained from re-
naming in the tunnel over two hours
at shift.
1t was while attending the state uni
versity Will met Miss Moffatt. They
will be at home in New York after

Mineral Point VS.. Pennsylvania In
horseshoe Pitching Contest

Mr.. Rankin, iron moulder and politi-
cal orator OF Pennsylvania, who spent
few hours in Mineral Point Tuesday,
met tartar in the person of our towns
man, N. K. VanMatre, not in political
way however. Upon introduction it
leaked out that both of these gentlemen
thought well of their skill as horse
shoe pitchers. Challenge met challenge
and off came overcoats. Politics, cleo
ton and country became lost in the
whirl of the shoe, and possibly they
would be still contending for first
honors in the skill OF ringing the peg
had not a rig been driven to the play
ground and Mr.. RaMkin hauied away
to Linden. What he had to say out
there on politics and horseshoe pitch
ing has not been reported.
Mr.. Rankin left acknowledging great
respect for Mineral Point, but more es-
pecially for Mr.. VanMatre, who was
victorious in the friendly contest nine
games out of-nine If the iron mouldei
should cancel any of his speaking APP
pointmer.ts don't be surprised. He
would like another day here to get
even with Nate.

REPUBLICANS.
Petition for Recognition of
 Their Rights.

\ petition was circulated in Rampant this forenoon, and telegraphed to the chairman of the Alaskan republican central committee this afternoon, asking for authority to take action regarding the selection of delegates to the republi can convention to be held in Juneau july II.
 The petition was numerously signed, notwithstanding the short time allowed for its circulation and the absence of many residents on the creeks.
 It was precipitated by the nonaction Gf Frank D. Wells, republican central committeeman, and the knowledge that the time is short--onlv one month-be- tween now and the date set for the meeting of the territorial convention.
 Of course the petition, if granted, will mean the supplanting of Mr. Wells as committeeman If not granted, Ram part can not secure representation at Juneau.
 It was asked that either ]. w. Young or NJ. E. koonce be empowered to call a Rampant republican meeting.
 If the meeting can possibly be had in time an earnest effort will be made to get Rampant delegation to Juneau. If that can not be done, Rampant proxies direct.

BIG NUGGETS
One from AZ Big Minook,
 and One from Slate

Last week Henry Tiede picked up nugget on F Big Minook worth $142.
 The recent high water in the creek had sluiced the dirt away and left the big lump of gold exposed on the rim. The ground there is not being worked at present.
 Another big nugget was brought in by Pearson and Nelson, from 10a Slate creek the first of the present week. It weighed ounces and pennyweights Considerable quartz was mixed with this lump, and its intrinsic value can only be approximated. It will amount to about $120 It is rough, irregular piece, and looks as if it had not strayed far from the parent ledge.
 Messrs. Pearson and Nelson also ex- hibited very interesting specimen of float quartz, with free gold showing in its side. The specimen was broken off of piece of rough quartz weighing sev- eral pounds, which appeared to be bar ren except on the side where it had evidently been in contact with the wall of the vein. It is piece of float that would be likely to make a hard-rock prospector's heart beat fast, for it had not experienced many hard knocks since being ousted from its birthplace.

ROAD COMMISSION
 TO EXTEND $2O0,OOO

Seattle, May 25.-Major Richardson, of the Alaska road commission, says that that the government will spend $200, 1000 in the next twelve months on Alaska roads and trails, principally on the trails from Valdez to Fairbanks and from Fort Gibbon to mpart.-Press dispatch in Skagway Alaskan.
 There are no trails, or contemplated trails, from Fort Gibbon to Rampant. The dispatch probably should have read ''and from Rampant to Fairbanks" That would have accorded with the logic of the situation and with the we'll known plans of Major Richardson. Rampant is to be the Yukon terminus of the Valdez trail, and the road com- mission may be depended on to to ex- pend what money that may become available for the benefit of the trail as a whole Prom local as we'll as gen eral view, 1t is important that this end of the trail receive attention as early as possible. and Major Richardson know ing the Lact-, may bc dcpen,le,l upon to act intelligvntly. It is only a question ef available money hen this end oi the. trail viii be attended Co il MabF Rich aF,lson remains at the head uf the conn mi-~ion.

STRANGE FIND
 IN A DEEP SHAFT

In the bottom of 50-foot shat on the bench between the north and south forks of Pioneer creek few days ago J. F. Nellany made find that has set people to guessing.
 Nellany, Lane and Diver are prospect ing on the bench, and theirs is the only work that has been done there during known history of that section. To all appearance it is strictly virgin ground. In the frozen gravel 50 feet beneath the surface half of rubber mitt was un- covered, and further investigation dis closed what had probably been piece of canvas hose
 The piece of mitt had been stitched with thread. which still held. The piece of hose. or whatever the other article had been, crumble,l to dust, but not be- fore the woven nature of the fabric was fully established

Poor Silk Weaver of Garfield Has
PrinceIy Fortune.

GARFIELD, n. j.. Feb. a.-The hap
pieSt silk weaver that ever woNe SILK is
Robert Hughes of this place, who has
received word that he has fallen heir to
$1,000, 900 in Ireland.
Hughes is forty-eight years old and
has never known anything but the
hardest kind of toll. He came to Amer
jca from Ireland when he was a boy,
and as he grew up he learned the silk
weaver's trade. Day after day he toll
ed, with few pleasures and no prospect
so far as he could see of ever bettering
his condition. Like all men of his trade,
he was peculiarly the slave Of his bust
ness, for when work fell slack he dared
not take employment at rough and
ready jobs, for hard work never fails to
make ones fingers stiff and rough, and
it is absolutely necessary for silk weav-
ers to keep their fingers soft.
BY virtue of intelligence and industry
Hughes was promoted to be a foreman,
but was poorly paid. He managed
to keep his head above water and
bought a little house. Day after day he
