PLANNED DI:ATI OF CIR

Confesses TO Having Accepted Large
Money Bribe to Assist in Murde- OF
Russion Emperor-Suspicicn Di-
F rected to Soldier By Fact That he
Was Seen With Large Sums OF
Money.
St. Petersburg, By Cable.-A Ter
rorist conspiracy directed against The
life Of Emperor Nicholas, the exist
ance Of which has been suspected for
some time past, has been revealed
by the arrest at Tsa:skee-Sclo of a
soldier Of the Guard Regiment, who
confessed to the acceptance Of a
large money bribe to assist in the
murder of His Majesty.
According to the details of this plot,
the existence Of which has been con-
firmed by one of the highest officials
of the court, suspicion was directed
to the soldier by the fact that he
was. seen to have in his possession
considerable sums of money. Tile
man was placed under observation.
When he noticed that he was being
shadowed he became panic-strickcn
and voluntarily made his confession,
after which he begged for protection.
All the threads of this conspiracy,
which is radically different from for
mer attempts Of this nature, are not
yet in the hands of the secret service
men. A few urderlings have not yet
;been apprehended, but the real insti-
gators of the crime and the men who
furnished the blood money have not
yet been identified.
The police officials refuse either to-
affirm or deny the story, and limit
themselves to stating that there is 80
indication that the men arrested last
week in this, city were connected with
this conspiracy.
In revolutionary circles it is de-
clared that tie men apprehended last
week were occupied with the reorgani
zation~of the fighting. bands of the
revolutionists which the police last
year, succeeded in. breaking up, and
that the authors Of the present con-
spiracy must be sought outside St.
Petersburg. G

The majority Of the settlers have
come here with practically no means
at all !, SO it is very evident that
this prosperity must be attributed to
successful farming. and considering

The Gold Cord Mining Co, invites
the most searching iaxestigation It is
possible to make.
The company, through its accred-
tied representatives, has set forth GER
tain claims that may seem highly
colored. Sts
It is only right and proper that In
tending investors should be afforded
everE facility TO verify our REPRESENT
alton. u 81 II
We therefore invite the public to
visit our Office and inspect the re-
ports, maps photographs and other
data bearing on the property. An:
obliging attache will i make 1t his
pleasure to go over every detail with
any one who calls.
The actual facts in the case make
our proposition the strongest and the
most powerful ever offered the public.
1t is only once in a lifetime that an
investment OF such gilt edged char
acter is presented. asS
The element Of speculation is SO
completely eliminated as to bar even
( second thought along such lines, al
though it must be frankly admitted
that the price of the stock makes it
colorably speculative. This is with
reference to the price only, because
s in our previous advertisements we
have pointed out that the stock is
cheap at any price under $3.50 per
share.
1t is corporation necessity that justi-
fes the sale of small allotment Of
this stock at so cents per share. Had
it not been for purely local conditions
with which the majority of those who
read this advertisement are familiar,
there would be no chance whatever to
purchase this stock at any price,
much less the opportunity to secure
it at a figure nearly nine times under
it's actual intrinsic value as determin-
ed by the security behind it.
When We say security behind it,,
we mean the actual values in sight,
consisting of surface Improvements
and ore bodies opened UP, or proven.
This leaves out Of consideration the
reasonable conclusion that the ore
bodies extend to much greater depths
than already shown. Even If there
was nothing more than what is in
sight the stock would still be worth
$3.50 per share, but 20 suppose for a
single instant that there are no re-
coverable values below what is known
as the No. / tunnel level, is too pre-
posterous to consider.
One might as well draw an arbit
rary line across a section of the Mis-
souri, river valley, and after cultivat
ing on one side of it declare that the
land on the other side was no good
There would be just as much reason
