THE MOTHER LODE
WILL SHIP SOON
HIGH GRADE LEAD AND SILVER
TAKEN OUT-BIG FIND OF
GRAY COPPER.

Edward L. Half has returned from
trip to the Regan mining district,
20 miles south of Ibapah and six
miles from the Utah line, in this
county, The district is rich in lead,
silver and copper ores, according to
Mr.. Half, and has brilliant future.
''The district was formerly part
of the Eagle mining district he
said to the News last night, but sep
arated itself from the older district.
"A fine showing, as fine a show
ing as can be found in any part of
the state. is being made by the CON-
panies that are operating actively.
Among THESE is the old Mother Lode
mine, which is patented property,
and which is making good in an ex-
ceptionally satisfactory manner
The property carries lead and sill
yer in great quantities. The lead
runs from 80 to so per cent and the
silver carried is from 20 to 400
ounces to the ton.
"There are now twelve men work
ing in the property and they have
not less than ten thousand tons of
ore stacked on the dump and ready
for shipment.
1.-The owner of the property is
Eben P. Low, Hawaiian capitalist,
who lives in Honolulu. He was at
the property for some time. but left
for Boston Saturday. from Cherry
Creek. He will remain there for a
month and will then go back to Hon.
olulu.
During the winter George Sims
of Ely will be in charge of the work
on the property which will be thor
oughly overhauled, cleaned out and
put in good shape. 1t is the inten-
tion of the owner to begin shipping
in the spring
During my stay in the district,
Mr.. Low had the Blue Horse group
of 35 claims surveyed. These claims
were located for him this summer.
They have tunnel so feet in length
on one of these claims and in this
have encountered fine ore shoot Of
gray copper. This runs Is per cent
copper, SO ounces silver and an av-
erage Of $1.25 in gold to the ton.
This shoot promises to be a heavy
producer and is widening and
strengthening with every yard of
work that is being done.
This district is as promising as
any in the county and good things
will be heard from there when more
development work is done.

THIS BUTTE ROBBER
HAD LOTS OF NERVE

BUTTE, Mont, Sept. 23.-A hold
up, which for boldnesS and nerve has
never been equa. ed in the city, oc-
Cured in the bar of the Clarence no;
tel last night. A lone masked man
walked into the saloon, gun in hand,
and in the presence of some 20 Gus
toners robbed the till of about $35.
At the time there were dozens OF
people on the street and less than
half block away policeman was
on duty. James Enyart, the bar
tender, was behind the bar talking
with a dozen or more customers when
the robber walked coolly behind the
bar and up to the cash register and
helped himself to the contents. AT
first the bartender says he thought
joke was being played on him. but
he soon had this idea dispelled on
looking down into the muzzle of a
big colt gun. The whole thing took
place in few minutes and four men
who were satting at table playing
dice did not know anything about
the holdup until after the robber had
disappeared.

A REQUEST Granted.

An unusually sapient reader of The
Washington Herald, who writes from Ex-
position station, Norfolk, and signs the
name J. H. Barnes TO his communication,
protests against the following sentence,
which appeared in an article in these col
umns describing the fierce rainstorm
which swept the Capital a few DAYS ago:
-Four horses belonging to the Odorless Excavatins
Company became frightened while standing at the
corner of Nichols and Howard avenues. Anaoostia
and ran away. breaking a WheclbauoW.
Mr.. Barnes prefers the modest request
that the reporter who wrote this sentence
be fired He is evidently trying to tell
US something, but what is il? Is he de-
scribing a tragedy. or is it a comedy?
8 We're the horses hitched to the
wheelbarrow? Evidently so, else how
could they break il when they ran away?
This conclusion is strengthened 10y the
fact that no wagon or other vehicle except
the wheelbarrow is mentioned Thus Mr..
Barnes, through a page and half of
typewriter manuscript. Before con-
he confdes TO us the interesting,
though unnecessary. information that he
has given himself "spasmodic brain collie
trying to unravel the meaning of the
word collection" Nevertheless. we shall
attempt TO enlighten him.
The wheelbarrow, as everybody but Mr..
must have guessed. was on the
top of high building. The horses scaled
the walls Of this structure attacked the
fiercely, and kicked il higher
than Gilderoy's kite. Then they descended
and permitted themselves 20 be caught.
While we vouchsafe this explanation
We regret that we do not see
our way clear 20 granting Mr.. Barnes
other request Instead Of firing the re-
porter, we shall eXalt him and send him
out into the world TO shed light in dark
places. Il is not wholly improbable that
his first work will be done in the vicinage
Of Exposition Station. Norfolk.

As 10 the WINNING Of Conyicts

Our good and astute friend, the New
York Evening Post, is much exercised
over the death Of a half-wltted negro at
Birmingham, Ala, as a result of a whip
ping administered by a prison warden at
the Pratt mines, near that city, to which
place the victim had been sent because he
was unable to pay fine imposed for al
legged vagrancy. The Post points out that
the published stories OF the case were
coincident with the revival Of Uncle
Toms Cabin" in New York City and de-
clares that, although the South always
has resented that book, and asseverated
that "the case of Uncle Tom, Il it ever
happened, was about as exceptional
crime as the killing Of President Of the
United States" the Birmingham incident
is. nevertheless, enough TO cause Harriet
Beecher Stowe to rise from her grave and
add n chapter to her classic" It con-
tinues:
The coroner could not find any definite reglla-
tions as 70 whipping but II is said 10 be a CON-

condemnation of the perpetrators Of the
brutal crime which, incidentally. has been
Just as strongly denounced in the city of
