Brooklyn papers yell o. millionaire
resident there who lives with his wife
in a handsome home. They are both
past the middle age, but the happy cou-
pie retain one custom which they es-
tablished when they were poor. The
old lady cuts the old gentleman's hair.
Economy of this kind at one time was
a necessity with them, and though that
was long ago, the wife every two
weeks says to her life partner: Come,
dear. it's time | cut your hair" And
while the scissors snip they chat con-
tentedly of times when they were
young and struggling.

A Kansas mans wife left him to
run the house and get his own meals
for a week or two. He cooked, as
he thought, the breakfast food every
morning. When the wife returned,
says a reliable informant. she noticed
that her husband twittered and he
himself acknowledged an inclination
TO MARBLE. 1t was found that he had
cooked and eaten a whole package Of
canary seed. He says he is always re.
sisting an inclination to sleep with his
head under his arm.

A model husband is not necessarily
one of the kissing kind, who never en-
ters his house or leaves it without kiss
ing his wife, and then amuses his as
sociates by saying his wife would rather
have kiss than dollar, and as kiss
has less commercial value it suits both
parties.
We believe in the existence of model
husbands: in truth we have known great,
noble, self-sacriticing men who would
scorn to impose on any creature de-
pendent upon them for care and pro-
lection. Yet we are skeptical Of the
abundance of such men, and we too
often find a vast gulf between the real
and the ideal which cannot be bridged
by human PRAYERS or human tears.
Some men may run well for season,
then drop theirmasks at intervals: later
these are laid aside revealing the true
character of the man.
Then the beautiful bubble bursts and
the rainbow tints vanish in mid air,
leaving wiser and sadder women to
mourn over their shattered idols,
Herbert Spencer, who is the best
authority on biological truths, thinks
that the eventual mixture of the varie
ties OF the race will produce in America
IA finer type of man than has heretofore
existed in our world, more plastic,
more adaptable, more captablc of under
going the notifications necdful for
complete social life, and ilatters the
coming women with the insurance that
America will produce men grander than
the world has yet known, so if this be
true those not already mated may find
little difficulty in securing model hus-
bands. When woman does possess a
model husband she should crown him
with earth's brightest and most pre-
cious diadem, woman's love.

Lake, ever since tho excitement started
in Nevada, has been tho center of the
interest circle, and during the past two
years some remarkably rich rock has
been sent to this city for inspection,
but few If any began to compare in
richness to what Mr.. Bowler has with
him.
Mr.. Bowler was seen by The Tribune
Saturday morning and asked for de-
scription OF his property and its re-
sources. He was rather disinclined to
give the information, saying that he
had nothing but ore to sell, and that
on the open market No man, however,
could withstand the temptation to talk
about the property from which such orc
came, and several facts of interest re-
garding the Johnnie mine slipped out

not discovered until 1896. Its history
IS framed with numerous shooting
scrapes, and it has passed through diff

have within their lines one of the rich

owners were enabled to gather together

net sum of $72,500 from the smelters.
The ore is beautiful quartz, and the
free gold is observable all through it
in jewelry quantities. The Johnnie
mine will not be over twelve miles
from the railroad. now being built into
likely that the Johnnie company will
soon erect twenty-stamp mill on their
property.
Mr.. Bowler stated that the manage
ment had reached the 700-foot level of
the mine, with stations at each 100
feet. At these stations considerable
drifting has been done from 400 to
500 feet on each side of the shaft, and
ON the 700-foot level the Johnnie mine
has forty feet of rock which will run
5000 per ton. Within six or seven miles
of the Johnnie mine is copper prop
crty from which samples are exhibited
that carry the red metal to the extent
of 40 per cent. For this property, states
Mr.. Bowler. he recently refused cash
offer of $750000.
Mrs. Bowler is expected today to join
her husband, and before the end of the
month they expect to start upon trip
around the world. Mr.. Bowler has

DREAM-QUEEN STRIKE.

BASIN, La Sal Mountains, Sept. 15-
A report has been received here that
a rich find has been made in the Dream
Queen mine in the Blue mountains. south
OF the La SAILS, and that the ore runs
S32 900 per ton in gold. The Dream
Queen mine has had a very unfortunate
career for the past ten years, although
It has been known that somewhere on
the Dream hill there was remarkably
rich ore.
In 1895 Capt. George A, Jackson of
Ouray, Colo. assisted by the Hon. Ben
Haywood of Salt Lake City. and formerly
United States Marshal for Utah, built
lve-stamp mill upon the property. but
failed to make II pay. consequently the
property was closed down, and the mill
sold to Robert James Thomson of Moab,
who took 1t down and moved It here
to Miners Basin. While Capt, Jackson
was on his way out Of the Blues in 1897
he was mysteriously killed. which prac-
tically abandoned the Dream-Queen en-
terprise. This last spring a couple OF
Colorado miners got hold OF the prop
erty and began operations. with the re-
suit Of having TO go only a few feet
to find the bonanza, which the for
mer owners SO unfortunately missed.
