And eat some Old Virginia pies.
When pay day Games but one time

And still the butchers prices soar;
When creditors regard me bleaSly,
And bill collectors buck my door;
When Sol himself shines desperation,
And sorrow trickles from the skies
But one thing then watts consultations

To rear delight on living wrecks

REAL GOLD TAKEN
FROM LOST BULLION
Men Convicted of Fraud for Selling
Stock in Alleged Bogus New
Mexico Mine Ask New Trial.

Denver, Nov. 15.-That real gold as
saying $26.60 per ton has been takel
out of the Lost Bullion mines In New
Mexico within the past few weeks Il
set up by c. L. Blackman and the 9th
er men convicted Of defrauding thou
sands Of easterners through an al
legged bogus mine In a supplemental.
motion for new trial filed in th,
federal court here.
The defendants in their motion alst
allege they were greatly prejudicet
In the minds of the jury through al
interruption of their attorneys by
Judge Lewis. in which he offered tc
reopen the case to hear evidence that
ore had been shipped from the mine
In quantity.
1t Is admitted, however, that it cost
$3S52 per ton to market the gold val
ued at $2660 per ton.
The new motion for a retrial sets
up that since their conviction the de
PENDANTS have during the months OF
September and October caused to be
mined 2l.99 tons of ore from the New
Mexico properties which was shipped
to the Observation-Disclosures Ore
Company In Denver, which extracted
the gold The defendants claim this
Is newly discovered evidence which
could not have been offered at the
trial, as they themselves were un.
aware of the exact nature of the ore
and the Lost Bullion company had not
reached the point in development
where gold could be taken from the
mines.
The motion is accompanied by atfi-
davits of persons who mined the ore
and who witnessed the extraction of
gold in Denver, Timothy O'Connor,
secretary of state, being one of the
latter. William Thompson, manager
of the Observation-Disclosures COM
pany; w. A. Chamberlain, its Boulder
manager, and others tell about the
tests in Denver, while various miners
tell of the loading of the ore at Sill

and ]. w. Pinkerton present state

able
William e. Wilson, one of the de-
PENDANTS. declares it cost $766.92 to
mine and ship the ore, or $3S9.37 more
than what they received for the gold
But he adds that the cost Of market
ing the ore can be cut from 1882 per
ton to $14.5O, which would leave a
good profit.
The motion for a new trial will be
argued before Judge Lewis, Novem-
