Girl Whose Extravaganza Won Her a
Wealthy Husband.
IF | knew how to write stories,"
says a pension office woman, to the
Washington Post, I'D write one about
my cousin Matte. We're about the
same age, and for the last fifteen
years we've been earning our W
livings. Matte has been a school
teacher, and I've been in office. Every
time we met We used to talk about
what we meant to do with the money
a bachelor uncle of ours was to leave
us some day. Matte always said she
intended to spend every cent of her
share having a good time that she
could remember all the rest of her
life.
eff I invest it, she used to say, I
may lose. If I buy a splendid good
time with it, nobody can ever rob me
of the memory of it,
Two years ago our uncle died and
left each of us about $4,000, l was
too sensible to fool mine away. l put
it into suburban lots that i couldn't
sell now for more than half what l
gave for them. Matte took four
months leave of absence, bought her
self a lovely wardrobe, and went to
California for the winter. She said
she meant to spend every cent she had
in just four months, and she did.
When her leave of absence was up
she hadn't a penny left. Teaching
now? No, stree. She met a very rich
man in California and married him.
And what charmed the mar was the
frank way in which she told him
about her money and how she was
spending it. He said he'd been look
ing all his life for a woman with good
common sense, and Matte was the
only one he'd ever found"

6~usinesslIke Proposition Made by Un-
fortunate Guest.
The late Gov: Anthony Colby Of
New London, N. H., did not conhne
his charities to mere giving. but
often invited the poor people CT his
acquaintance to his fine residence on
Academy Hill, where he entertained
them.
Among these recipients of his
bounty was a Supplemented old fell
low named "Oz2y" Whittier, who
lived with a son Charles in all. ad-
joining town, and Who came nee a
year for a visit of two days. He was
always given a present of $40 upon
his departure.
During one momentous visit "OZzy"
seemed marked with bad luck. He
tracked his cowhide boots over the
freshly painted piazza, let the colts
loose through a gate open, and mar
rowly escaped burning the barn while
smoking. The climax came when he
sat down in the parlor to tell the
Governor how sorry he was and how
sorry his son Charles would be to
know it.
Rocking disconsolately in a big arm
chair, he crashed into the center table
and overturned it with all it's con-
tents. A large astral lanp was de-
m%olished, and the oil went over the
carpet and some valuable books and
drawings with which the table was
loaded. "Ozzy" viewed the wreck in
dismay, and broke out in fresh la
m%entations.
ooh massy me! Guv'nor, massy me!
What will Charles say?" he walled.
Il tell We what, Guv'nor, if We won't
say a word to Charles about it, ye
needn't give me but SIS when l go

Editor Sprague's1 Opinion on the
Big Chief

Editor Sprague of The Goldfeld News in a special article on
Manhattan six weeks ago said:
These are the principal hills and the principal mines of the
camp as now disclosed, although other good properties, by reason OF
limitation of space, cannot be mentioned. Manhattan Peak, up the
gulch from Injunction Hill, is where a group of claim. called the Big
Chief, owned by Malcolm Macdonald, looms up. / PANIED gold on
three lodges or this group, one of which runs across the gulch. The
hill is now being explored by Naughton and Rakestraw, among the
best mining men in the camp. Other hills in the immediate vicinity
will likely prove to be big producers; they have not as yet been ex-
plored as the snow has been too deep ali winter to admit of prospect
ing, and the summer months should record many new and sensational
finds in the sensational camp of Manhattan

A Force of Miners is now at work doing prospecting AM rushing the development of the
Companys Lodges
President Bob" Montgomery's Views or
Big Chief

President Montgomery of the Big Chief Company, spent two days
in an examination and inspection of the property and directed the i'm
mediate work of the miners there. In speaking of this property, Mr..
Montgomery said:
"The Big Chief group of claims seem to be in the Consolidated
zone and there is no doubt but that the lodges running through the
Consolidated and from which so much rich ore is obtained, are the
same is those outcroppng on the Big Chief group and from which
free gold is PANIED for s. many hundred feet.
With the many Lodges outcropping on the Big Chief estate the
probability is that that company's acreage will prove to be one OF the
big mines of the district. The boundaries have been investigated and
since there is no conflict, development work will be prosecuted very
vigorously with a view to proving the merit of this ground in, the
shortest possible time. r81e@ t@,sn
