RED GULCH DISTRICT
is VALUABLE GROUND

E. G. Bettis, who is president
of mining company operating in
the Red Gulch district. ten miles
north of Cotopaxi. in the western
part Of this county, has just re-
ceived some remarkable returne
from sample car load of copper
ore sent to one of the smelters in
Denver last week. 36.77O pounds
of ore were in the shipment, of
which 9,545 pounds were selected
as first grade and the remsinder
passed as mine run. The high
grade ore showed 1892 per cent
copper and the mine run 9.95 per
cent. copper. The smelling COM
pony sent Mr.. Bett 8 check for
$2,3S7.Sl in payment for this orc,
There is an immense body of ore
in sight and there is little doubt
that it will prove to be one of the
biggest properties OF the kind in
the United States.
Stratton brothers, who have
been engaged in development work
for some time past in the same
locality for Boston syndicate,
have also struck it rich. They
drifted 600 feet into tho hill and
at the 14OO foot level struck vein
of copper ore five feet in width
carrying values of from 30 to 40
per cent copper.
H, 9. Tabor brought down a
load of surface ore from the work
ings of the Copper Prince com
pany few days ago and from
select portion of it got "a per cent
copper and from the low grade ore
3.S per cent.

Tn. house is one Of a group recently
built. and, owing to the material used in
t;.e fronts, as we'll as the arrangement OF
the Interiors, they are regarded as inter-

The lots have unusually broad frontages
for a residence section in a city. and the
space Is utilized so as to provide for the
middle rooms of the upper floor windows
looking out on the main street, instead of
on an area at the back of the house.

SHANGHAI q. s. COURT
VICE CONSUL BoYDs STORY OF
LAWYERS, DIsBAR1GENT.
Only Two Passed Bar Examination
Interesting Complication Resulting
From Judge WilHey's Action.

w. Porter Boyd Of Kansas City. vice
and deputy consul general at Shanghai
China, who Is in Washington on leave Of
absence, was asked by Star reporter to-
day concerning the controversy which has
arisen as a result Of the disbarment by
Judge Wiley of the United States court at
Shanghai Of six of the eight American
lawyers who had been practicing bfore the
court. Mr.. Boyd was unable to throw
much light on the present situation as he
left China on leave of absence just follow
ing the disbarment of the lawyers-in ques
ton and has not kept informed of the do
tails of the resulting controversy.
A Bar Examination.
It appears from what Mr.. Boyd was able
to tell, however, that about week fell
lowing Judge Wilfey's assumption Of the
duties of the judge Of the court he gave
an examination-what would be a bar ex-
animation in this country-to the eight
American lawyers who had been practicing
befo.o the court. Six of them failed to
pass and were disbarred. One OF those
who sailed was the former attorney gen
era1 Of Hawaii, who, in fact, held that post
during the time that Judge Wiley was
attorney general Of the Philippines.
The six American lawyers who failed
to pass the examination might have been

needed the remark made by Judge Whitley
when he visited Shanghai last July, some
six months prior to becoming judge OF the
court in that city, that he intended to
prescribe a bar examination for those
American lawyers who practiced before
the court. His statement was not taken
seriously, however, for apparently none or
the lawyers in question "boned up for the
examination.
Interesting Complication.
An interesting and remarkable complica-
ton has arisen as a result of Judge VIII
fey's action. Appeals from the decision OF
the Judge of the United States territorial
court at Shanghai are taken to the-United
States district court at San Francisco for
adjudication. AS some, If not all, of the dis
barred lawyers are admitted to practice De-
fore the San Francisco bar, the UNIQUE
spectacle is presented of appeal cases being
argued by counsel who were disbarred from
practice from the lower court wherein the
case had its first trial.
As a result Of Judge Wilhey's action all
sorts Of charges have been brought against
| him by the disbarred lawyers and theil
| friends, the principal allegation being thai
he took the action complained OF In order
| to favor attorneys he had known in the
Philippines. The two lawyers who passed
| the examination are members of the same
| firm.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 13.-Robert w.
Patterson, editor-in-chief Of the Chicago
Tribune and son-in-law of late Joseph
Medill, has parted with his personal hold
ings in the Tribune to Medill Mccormick.
it's business manager and son Of Robert 8.
Mccormick ex-ambassadOr to Russia and
to France. Mr.. Patterson, who has been
abroad all winter. returned to this city
today, and is at the Auditorium Annex.
He stated that it is his desire to retire
from active newspaper responsibility.
sit Is true that I have sold my stock
in the Tribune to Medili Mccormick" said
Mr.. Patterson. Il made an offer to Mr..
Mccormick at what 1 considered to be a
very good price, and it was accepted. But
this transaction must not be misunderstood.
The capital stock of the Tribune consists
of 200 shares. OF the total was the owner
of q certain number of shares, the per-
sonal gift of Mr.. Medill to myself When
Mr.. Medili died the majority holdings in the
property were left to Mrs. Robert s. Nc
Cormick and Mrs. r. w. Patterson, Mr.
Medilrs daughters.
Stock Put In Trust by Medill Will
This stock was put in trust by Mr..
Medill's will to be held for twenty years.
Attorney William G. Beale, Robert 8. Nc
Cormick and myself were appointed trus-
tees. The stock is voted absolutely by the
trustees and could not be sold even If the
owners should SO desire without the con-
sent of the trustees. Under the constitu-
ton and bylaws of the Tribune Company
there are two Offices held by myself. which
represent all the power of active admins
tration of the property. These Offices are
secretary and editorial superintendent. The
secretary has control Of the business man
agement Of the company and the editorial
superintendent Is supreme as to matters OF
editorial policy. AS 1t has been necessary
for me to be absent a great deal from Chi
cago, have delegated the powers of secre-
tary to Medill Mccormick and supreme edi-
torial power to James Kelley. The two de-
partments are entirely distinct Receiv-
ing their authority from me Mr.. McCor-
mick and Mr. Kelley are absolutely inde-
pendent and free in their respective depart
ments.
SIT is a fact that have seriously con-
tempiated retiring from active work In con-
nection with the Tribune. i am fifty-six
years of age and have q strong inclination
toward personal freedom. l should prefer
to live In Washington In the winter and
abroad in the summer. / do not see how
can carry out that program and give my
personal attention to the direction OF the
Tribune. However, II would be with feel
ing of reluctance that would accept .
large salary from the Tribune Company
and not give II my personal attention"

CANTON, Ohio, March 13.-Horace G. Nc
Dowell, president Of the Farmer Bank of
Canton, shot and killed himself at his coun-
try home. five miles north Of this city, this
morning. He was known throughout Ohio
as a breeder and buyer of high-class sheep.
Mr.. Mcdowell had been morOse and SEEM
ingly weighed down by some trouble for
several days. He had been suffering from
an attack of the grippe.
Aside from this ailment there is not at
this time known any cause for the suicide
except that 1t Is said Mr.. Mcdowell may
have had some personal financial matter
worrying him. 1t Is not thought the bank
of which he Is president is involved.
