Political Speeches.

Some people think, for instance, that
political speeches do not matter. Po-
ntical speeches matter far more than
the acts of parliament which they in
troduce. Men care less even about
what is being done than about why 1t
is being done. The spirit in which
thing is effected is of far more practi-
cal Importance even than the thing it
self. This can be tested by the simple
experiment in social life of removing a
gentleman's hat for him, first IN one
spirit, then in the other. IF you get rid
Of all the talk about practical politics
talked by tired men with 10000 q
year, and really look impartially at the
history of human society you win see
that collisions have arisen far more
from insults than from injuries. Some
of my ilnperialist friends, for instance.
tell me that because l think South Afri-
ca a nuisance to England therefore l
should permit Germany to pluck 1t
from us IN war This is like saying
that because think q top hat ugly and
uncomfortable should let another man
knock it off IN Piccadilly. No doubt it
is uncomfortable. But why should he
knock it off? Who is he? l wonder

 A large Rambler touring car. own ed and driven by F. H. Lewis of this city, was destroyed by fire two miles north of Thomaston, near the Two- Mile bridge, yesterday morning. The cause of the fire is not known def- nitely, although Mir Lewis thinks 1t was caused by a pipe leading from the gasolene tank. which sprang a leak several days ago, at which time it was temporarily repaired. When the blaze was discovered 1t had good start, but 1t could have been extinguished had assistance been near. As the owner was making the trip from Torrington to his home alone and there were no houses near by he could do but little to check the flames. MT Lewis walked to Thomas ton and later drove to his home. All that remains of the machine is the gearing, all the rest being total loss.

ROUND MOUNTAIN EXTENSION

Following fast upon the discovery of
high grade gold values on the sunny
side property in the Round mountain
district additional discoveries were
made north and east of that acreage.
The more promising of the latter
ground has been secured chiefly by the
syndicate of mining men who now own
the acreage on which the original dis
covery was made.
The Round Mountain Extension COM
pany has been organized for the pur-
pose of working this territory and
while the phenomenal values showing
to the south have not yet been found
a fine body of ore has been opened up
to a depth of 20 feet
1t was decided to place 10000 shares
of Round Mountain Extension stock on
sale at Is cents the share and the sub
scription books were opened yesterday.
Within a few hours nearly the entire al
lottment was subscribed. The officers
of the company are: Lewis ID. Gordon,
president; p. j. Sweeney, vice president:
Lewis Fl. Rogers, secretary; John S.
Cook, treasurer. These gentlemen with
J. r. Davis compose the directorate.

The settlement by compromise yes
terday of the long pending suit of j.
Otis Johnson VS. Ladd, Benson and
Clark closes the final chapter of a
story which deals with the pitiable
wanderings of two penniless prospec-
tors across the sun scorched wastes of
Southern Nevada the location of what
have since proved TO be some of the
most valuable mines in the Bullfrog
country and the perfdy of one of the
two to the comrade who had shared
with him the privations and hardships
of the trail The tale opens on May 13,
1904, the date on which Zeb Kendall
and H. H Clark grubstaked ]. Otis
Johnson and George w. Ladd and they
departed on a prospecting tour across
the Southern Nevada desert It's end
marks the triumph of right over wrong
and the raising of Johnson from state
of comparative penury to that of af-
fiuence.
Under the terms of the contract en-
tered into by Johnson and Ladd with
the men who grubstaked them the
former were to locate all claims in the
joint names of the four parties to the
compact With this understanding
Johnson and Ladd set out on tne ltli.
Day after day the two men mushed on
beneath the pitiless rays of the sun,
suffering the tortures of heat, hunger
and thirst. Often they were obliged to
cut the tops from their boots and fash
ion them into inner soles to protect
their bare feet from the jagged rocks
and blistering sand. All these and other
hardships were endured with the pa
thence and perseverance to succeed pro-
verbal of the prospector, and one would
think that bonds of friendship thus ce-
mented would have been as enduring as
the eternal hills whose wealth of golden
treasure they sought.
Their trail lay southwest past the
Kawich district and Cane springs on
down to the Johnnie mine where, being
out of grub and money, they We're
