Kinley at the opening of the war with
Spain. There are also at least two negro
lieutenants of the line. while two or three
other negro enlisted men are now eligible
for examination for promotion from the

MEN AND THINGS.
Going TO Euranes

For a week or more there has been a
good deal OF talk IN Washington clubs
about the Presidents determination so
visit Europe Immediately after the ex-
piratlon of his term ia 1868 The talk
seems more substantial than mere club
gossip. It is based upon the assumption
that Mr.. Roosevelt viii resolutely refuse
to accept denomination even should events
so shape themselves Us to make his nomi-
nation party necessity. Several club
men who enjoy more or less close relations
with the White House are giving the re-
port credence. They even go 50 Tar as TO
say that the likelihood Of Mr Roosevelt
making the trip IN war ship is now be-
ing serious considered. As ex-President he
would, of course, no longer have authority
to so employ a war ship. but this difficulty
could be easily overcome by the simple
process Of the adoption by Congress Of "a
joint resolution directing the Secretary Of

treatment by mills, which can be OPP
Grated here cheaper than in many

supply of water. Mining men from
Goldfield have been here recently and
took many samples. and when they
saw the assay returns they made the

part of the mines on very liberal
terms Very likely some leases will
be given these parties. o
Another strike about one mile
west was made last week on veins

and they have interested their friends
in the district. Among these is John
A. Stimson of Denver, who purchased
the Gold Bar group of claims some
time ago. There are 112 acres in the
company's holdings and sufficient
work has been done to prove that
there is enough ore in sight to war
rant the prediction that it isgoing to
be a pay mine. A gasoline hoist has
been ordered for the property and it
is the intention to put shaft down
to depth of 500 feet. Oscar Vein
bach has been appointed superintend-
ent of the company. ~
Adjoining the Gold Bar is the
Koolgardie group and considerable
work has been done on that ground.
There is ore there and plenty of It.
Assays have been secured from pick
ed samples that run away in the pic
lures and In two of the shallow shafts
on the ground from three to four feet
of quartz is showing that is good
shipping ore.
On what is known as the Solar

for the little work done. 1t is esti.
mated that there is at least 1000 tons

Dewey Bailey, the United States
marshal OF Colorado, and associates
recently purchased fifty acres of
grounds to the east Of the towr, from
which they secured good assays from

intention to develop the ground In
miner-like fashion. Many other new

The Gro City Townsite and Water
company is also busy. The building
flor the new reduction plant is COM
ipleted and the machinery has been
Eordered. The plant will have capa-
lefty Of sixty tons day to start with
and there Is ore enough in sight to
