Public Gifts for Beauty,

Everett RI. Barney, a millionaire OF
Springfield Mass. has just decided an
estate and fortune to the city as
the beginning OF scheme Of local
Identification. The plans include a
boulevard and park system to extend
two miles along the Connecticut river.
Cooperation is called for on the part
of the municipality and by the New
York, New Haven g. Hartford railroad.
Mr. Barney's act and William p.
Letchworth's splendid gift OF a park
reservation to the state of New York.
recorded thus early in 1907, seem to
promise rare turn to the benefac-
tions OF the year. II has been charg-
ed that our rich men show no imag.
ination, but only method in their Civ.
ing; that they follow routine though
extremely useful lines of philanthro-
py in endowing colleges. libraries and
churches. II they are to pay good
deal of attention hereafter to the
promotion of cities beautiful and to
the preservation of natures own art
galleries, this point of criticism will
have to be abandoned.

very least of his few responsibilities
in fact, no responsibility at all. So he
rode out Of Campo to the south, and
presently crossed the line into Mexico.
He rode gaily, bravely, singing
aloud. He might dodge the rurales
when he was smuggling, but 1t was
joke to talk about arresting him when
he was doing nothing wrong. He had
been successfully violating certain
laws of both countries for so long that
he had come to look upon II as mere
sport, in which he had the ability al.
ways to win. Besides, the tequila and
the whisky had been good and strong,
and he was reckless. He could not
know that this was the beginning of a
serious effort to break up the sys.
tematic smuggling that had been 60
ing on.
He discovered the seriousness of the
situation when a rurale suddenly or
dered him to surrender The rurale
anticipated no difficulty In making him
a prisoner, for neither offense nor pun.
ishment was of a nature to make a
man take desperate chances to escape.
A Mexican jail may not be inviting,
but 1t would seem to be preferable to
incurring the death penalty. The
rurale reckoned without the liquor,
however. He had the advantage,
which made him careless, and, watch.
ing his opportunity, Eduardo shot him
dead. A comrade of the dead rurale
came up, having heard the shot, and
took in the situation at glance. He
placed his own horse between him
self and the man, and rested
his gun across the saddle. He was
very deliberate and careful. His com.
rade lay dead at his feet, and the MUIR
derer was within range. But he was
moving among big rocks and it was
far from an easy shot
II was like shooting at target with
rest, and the man crumpled up and
then pitched headlong into the ravine,
The rurale placed the body of his dead
comrade across his own horse, and
turned slowly back along the road that
he had come.

she would weep.

GRAHAM COUNTY FIND.
a Discovery Of Modoe Gold in the ella
Mountains.

Solomnville. Ariz., Sept. 20(-tSpecial
Correspondence of The Republican,
One Of the most remarkable mineral
discoveries ever made in the southwest
has just been made public here In the
ella mountains. across the river from
here, a prospector and miner named
A. h. Broadhead. located ledge OF
Roman alloy, or Modoc gold. as it is
more commonly called.
Mr.. Broadhead, who has had long
experience with metals, made the dis
covery several weeks ago. He was I'M
able to determine the nature of the
mineral and thought that he had made
a find of great Importance. The great
est secrecy was maintained and the
finder took samples to New York. The
ore was treated in the laboratory of
Columbia University and by the ex-
perts there pronounced Roman alloy.
a metal never before found within the
United States.
The ore is rich in the metal and
there appears to be a large body Of
it, but its value is not very great and
the find. therefore, is not of much i'm
portance. The metal is used quite ex-
tensively in manufacturing as a base
for gold and so closely resembles gold
that it frequently requires an acid test
TO disclose the difference. In the
quartz n has much the appearance of
gold.
Mr.. Broadhead. who is recently from
the mining districts of British Column
bia. feels certain that the prospects
across the river will yet develop a
great mine. He is astonished that so
promising a field should have remain
ed so long neglected.
