The Company owns the Hesperus No. go acres-and the
Croesus No.. 2 claims-20 acres-which lie west of the SAND
STORM. Also the Empire Fraction claim-about IL acres
which sidelines the Silver Pick and is less than 800 feet from the
MOHAWK and about 900 feet from the RED TOP. On this
claim a shaft is being sunk and is already down over 1876 feet. A
ledge in place has been cut that gives average values of from
$50 to $50. A 30hp. electric hoist is ordered and will be in
stalled upon arrival.
There are no better claims in this district for the making of
a mine. 1t is practically certain from developments on adjoining
properties-notably the Silver Pick-that the great Mohawk
ore bodies pierce this ground. It lies on the direct line of the
known trend of those veins. The formation encountered in the
shaft proves the close proximity of pay ore, and at the 300foot
level prosecuting will be done to cut the vein.

SUES CHICAGO.
Because He Could Not Marry Girl of
His Choice.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
After thinking over the matter carefully
for something like seven years, Erick
Nordstrom yesterday decided that the city
owed him the trifling sum of $4,000, be-
cause in 1899 he failed to marry Matihilde
Svenson
In that year. according to Mr.. Nordstrom,
a person named Christensen happened
along and married Mathilde, and In this
connection he blames Sergeant S. T. Guilt
nan and Rev. Herman Lindskog, as we'll
as the corporation of the city of Chicago.
Sergeant Culinan, it is stated, threaten
ed to arrest Mr.. Nordstrom and the
clergyman married Mathilde to Mr.. Chris
tanson.
Nordstrom has figured the matter out
very carefully and has come to the con-
clusion that the affection of Mathi1de is
worth 50 714.29 per annum. He wants to
be paid at once.
It appears from the statement of the
complainant that Sergeant Cullnan used
his official position to spread stories re-
necting on the eligibility of Nordstrom as
. sutton to the hand of Miss Svenson. This
action on the part of the paid guardian
of the law and order had the fleet of in
terfering with the suit of the complainant,
and so great was the handicap that when
he got into his stride the race was all
over and Miss Svenson was Mrs. Chris
tanson.
In the present suit against the city Mr..
Nordstrom is acting as his own attorney.
His bill of complaint is made out In pen
written style, instead of the customary
typewritten STYLE and the document is
rerarded as being as original as the
statement II contains,

STORIES TOLD OF
LORD KITCHENER
Famous General Nearly Always
Has His Own Way
He COULD NOT BE TRICKED
Ruse of Colonel Jones to Get New Uni
forms for His Men Failed to
Work-How Kitchener
Got Money.
HE COULD NOT BE TRICKED
From the Grand Magazine.

From the Grand Magazine
A few months ago *. of K."-as the
British have nicknamed Lord Kitchener
of Khartoum-found himself engaged in d
prolonged discussion with the command
ant of native corps in India who had
applied for funds to fit his men out with
brand new uniforms.
The application was refused, only to be
put forward again more urgently than
ever. After this had happened several
times TX. s" patience became exhausted,
and he sent word to say that he would
come and inspect the corps himself.
The colonel rubbed his hands with de-
light, and on the appointed day carefully
instructed his dusky warriors to don their
oldest and most ragged garments in order
to furnish a practical demonstration of
their sartorial requirements. The COM
mandant was reckoning without his
host. however for Lord Kitchener had
no sooner run his critical eye down the
ranks than he saw through the others
little device A grim smile played about
the corners of his mouth.
"Ah, Colonel Jones'" he exclaimed heart
lily, Il congratulate you on the appear
ance of your men. They're in the pink
of condition-positively bursting through
their uniforms!'
When Lord Kitchener once makes up his
mind about anything 1t requires a very
determined will indeed to turn him from
his purpose. On one occasion a difference
of opinion had arisen as to the amount Of
money he might eXpend to the convey
ance of stores to the front. He wanted
couple of thousand pounds for the pur-
pose. but a nggardly pay department at
home protested that the estimate was
much too high.
Cant do 1t for less was the lagonic
response telegraphed to Pail Mall
This, however, only evoked a reply
that he would not be allowed more than
quarter of the sum asked for. To ev
erybody's intense surprise *" wired
back. "All right" and proceeded to carry
out the work he was engaged on.
When the expedition was over, how
ever, the treasury officials were electri-
fled to receive from its organizer bill
reading as follows:
81. To conveyance of military stores, as
per estimate. e500.
80 To supplementary expenses, e1500.'

RUDE BUT USEFUL MAN.
No One Ever Accused Senator TiIIman
of Sinking Trouble.

From the New York World
Col. w. w. Lumpxin, having decided
not to be candidate for United States
senator in South Carolina, there will prob
ably be no opposition in the state legis-
lature to the reelection of Mr.. Tillman.
There should be none.
To the person who esteems dignity
above other qualities in a senator, Mr..
Tillman leaves much to be desired The
gentleman from South Carolina is not
dignified His manners are often I'M
couth and his behavior turbulent. He is
"a rude man., as he himself once adj
rnitted in debate But there are so many
gentlemen of exquisite courtesy in the
Senate that one rude man is invaluable.
He can tell the unpleasant truths which
ought to be told at times, but which
other members hesitate to tell.
When the senator from South Carolina
was put in charge of the rate bill, Presi-
dent Roosevelt said: '"Tillmans clean and
a good fighter" The President made a
lust estimate of his bitterest opponent
in Congress. Mr.. Tillman is not only
morally, but Intellectually honest. And
he has not only fidelity, but courage. He
fights-not only with his brain and tongue.

n-HE war was over in Virginia a
good many years ago, and the
Virginia folks are as patriotic as
the people of any state in the union II
not more so than the people OF whole
lot of states" said a gentleman who IS
thoroughly acquainted with the Old Do
mnion. THE younger generation of Vir-
ginia people. for example, all get to their
feet when they hear band or orchestra
strike up The Star Spangled Banner, and
that's something that is by no means uni
versal in the United States, particularly
In the big cities, where simon-pure patri-
otism of the Fourth of July barbecue
brand is looked upon with a certain
amount of rdicule. While the Spanish
war was in progress and for little time
afterward, theatre audiences in the large
cities took the standing posture when tho
national air was played by the orchestra,
and that practice soon died out. A few
people in an audience will occasionally
stand up in New York theatre when the
national air is being given in a medley OF
national airs, but they are actually TIT
tered at by the vast majority, who keep
their seats
