MAYFLOWER CONSOLIDATED
MINES NOW IN RICH ORE

The old adage, "a prophet is not
without honor, save in his own coun-
try" is not true as applied to the May
flower Consolidated mines, located in
Riverside county. :
While no specious advertisements
have, appeared or big displays of ore
made, still the people of the towns
nearest the mines are among the heavi-
est investors in the "MayfloWer." In
this can those who have purchased
stock at the present low price know
just how valuable it is, for the develop
ment of a portion of the claims held
by the company has consumed over
thirteen years of time and the eXpendi-
ture of large sums of money. The
average ad dealing with the sale of
stock at q low price is simply state
ment as to a prospect" and not mine.
Stocks have been sold in thousands of
prospective mines" and in thousands
of cases the investors have never re-
ceived a cent in return for their good
money. In buying stock in the May
flower Consolidated" the buyer is as
sured that the development work has
been done, thoroughly done, with ten
shafts and eight side cuts, touching
rich low grade ore that averages $27.70
per ton. Some of the lodges carry ore
running into the hundreds of dollars
and at greater depths 1t is confidently
expected even better ore will be struck,
but that is simply problematical, Suf-
ficient is known of the quality and
quantity of the ore blocked out in the
mine to justify the statement that
the lodges will keep a ten-stamp mill
working a century,
The general offices OF the company,
309 Citizens Bank building, are at pres
ent sending out twelve-page pros
pectus, clearly setting forth the inten-
tions of the company, and it Is well
worth the reading, not only because it
deals with matters directly connected
with the Mayflower Consolidated mines,
but on account of the data relative to
other mines. the character OF the ore
being mlled, etc. When the Mayhower
Consolidated mines have closed out the
present block of 100000 shares no more
of the stock will be placed on the mar
ket.

JEROME VERDE WILL LEAD
Big Copper Proposition in Arizona.

Whenever the word "copper" is ut

the millions he has made in the United
Verde at Jerome, Ariz. The mine, like
many others that have since turned al
most untold wealth into the hands of
those who purchased stock in 1t when
the price was ridiculously small, has
proven conclusively that it pays to buy
stock in a mine and that it is a gam

United Verde is one of the greatest
mining successes of the age and what
promises to be equally as great money
Garner is the jerome Verde, immedi-
ately abutting the United Verde claims.
This mine is now ready for a new
smelter. Over 1000 feet Of development
work has been done and the values in
copper are almost identical with those
of United Verde.
Only last Thursday Jack Walker, the
veteran miner, came in from the Verde
district, where he had been engaged
with the Clark interests, and in speak
ing of the Verdes said: 'Well, you can
say for me that the Verdes are all
good; that is, on a level with and below

Telephone Main 7o2.

PASADENA, Dec. 23.--Kenneth Bell
the 12-year-old son of State Senator
elect Charles w. Bell. had as close
a call from death today as averaging
comes to the lot of mortals, for he
was struck and thrown by an auto
mobile and came within an ace OF
going under an electric car at the
same time. AS It was the young man
got off with minor hurts and bruises
and the others involved nearly had
heart disease.
The accident took place near the
corner of Colorado street and Marengo
avenue. Young Bell was riding along
on his bicycle even with an East Colo
RADIO street electric car. Owing to the
crush of vehicles the lad saw that 1t
would be necessary to dodge around
the car which he was following. and he
proceeded to do so.
Rounding the rear platform he ran
full tilt into an automobile driven by
DR.. A. T. Newcomb, which was going
down Colorado street in the opposite
direction.
There was no chance for either the
boy on the wheel or the man of med
icine to so turn that the lone rider
might escape collision. However, the
doctor turned out as much as possible
in the hope that the lad might squeeze
between the car and auto, and into this
pocket young Bell ran.
For second it was a question
whether the boy would be run over
by the car, or auto, or both. Young
Bell struck the great motor car
square blow which dashed him to the
pavement almost beneath the heavy
wheels of the electric car. He was
frightfully shaken up by the force of
his fall, but fortunately he fell so that
he escaped the wheels of both the
heavy auto and the still more heavy
car.
His wheel was reduced to scrap iron.
both the auto and the car taking a
turn at it. DIR. Newcomb took the boy
into his machine and young Bell is
reported to be resting easily at his
fathers home this evening.

The old-time Eureka Plumas mine
near JohnSonville, Plumas county, will
resume. A mill with twenty stamps
has been erected. The mine is credited
with having produced $30,000 900. 1t
has been closed for some years. About
year ago the property was bought
by Rhode Island company at a low
price. This company has decided to
produce on good scale.
Ore of great richness has been struck
in Amador county, in the Fremont mine
in the Drytown district The report is
that a pocket was uncovered by the
firing of blast that contained, as es-
timated, $4,000. This is not the first
rich discovery in Amador. A few
years ago 100000 was taken out of the
Kennedy mine in a day, and a similar
amount was yielded by the Argonant
mine in five or six hours. The Central
Eureka mine has also produced on
$40, 900 to $4,000 in few hours. Ore
from the Fremont in the present in

NnpoIeOn'8 Ink Wiper.

Napoleon was hero to his valet,
Constant, though he sadly marred the
servants effort to dress him neatly.
Said the valet:
His breeches were always Of whlto
cashmere. But two hours after leaving
his chamber it often happened that
they were all spotted with ink, thanks
to his habit Of wiping bis pen on them
and shaking ink all around him by
striking his pen against the table. How
ever, as he dressed in the morning for
the whole day, he did not change his
toilet on that account, but remained In
this state until night. The whole inside
OF his boots was lined with white fus
tian. Whenever one Of his legs itched
he rubbed 1t with the heel Of the boot
or shoe with which the other leg was
siod. thus Heightening the effect Of thu
spilled ink.

ENDED LIFE WITH POISON.
Girl Was Made Dependent by Illness
Only Twenty.

A dispatch from New York says: Dis.
heartened by illness with which she had
been afflicted since early childhood. Miss
Alice Martin. one of the prettiest girls on
the west side. ended her life yesterday after
noon in q moment Of extreme dependency.
Miss Martin was but twenty years old She
was the daughter Of wealthy parents. who
lavished every care and luxury upon her.
The girl swallowed a solution Of oxalio
acid and Immediately regretted her act
At the time she was in her own room in
her parents home at No. 240 West 74th
street. adjoining the Hotel Ansonia- She
rang at once for her maid and frantically
urged the young woman to run to the An
sonia and bring DR.. Hastings Jones, who
lives there.
In a couple of minutes the maid returned
with the physician. and Miss Martin, who
was rapidly losing consciousness. did her
utmost to tell him what had happened. He
called UP the drug store in the Ansonia
on the telephone and instructed the clerk
to prepare an antidote for the poison He
also sent the maid to bring nearby physi-
clan and a stomach pump and In the hope
of staying the effect of the poison admin
istered q precipitate Of chalk. Though he
worked heroically the girl died before the
arrival of the other physician with the
stomach pump.
Miss Martin was the daughter of Bena-
jah M. Martin. owner of a brass foundry
at No. Alb West Broadway. DR.. Jones
had attended her since childhood and her
parents had done everything possible to
restore her health Recently she developed
q throat affection. and the specialist who
was consulted said the trouble was prac-
tically incurable. This unnerved the girl
greatly.
While both parents were away from home
yesterday afternoon she went to the drug
store in the Ansonia. where she was well
known, and purchased the oxalic acid In
powdered form. She told the clerk she
n clean gowns. and he eX-
planned how the powder should be mixed
with water.
Miss Martin had planned to give a sup
per and entertainment Thanksgiving eve
in Chrystie street to a number OF chill
dren of the east side. Her parents were
heartbroken by the tragedy.
