JEFFERSON MEN HAVE MINE.
"Grub- staked a rrospector for Years
and Won.

Jefferson, Jan. Am original way
OF locating a gold mine was revealed
when man by the name of j. j.
Lester, of Denver, Col, claiming to be
an expert along that line, got together
several prominent business men of
Jefferson, of whom S. b. Anderson is
now president of the Golden Amethyst
Mining Company, with G. S. Turrill
secretary and treasurer. including f.
NJ. Franklin, L. M. Franklin, A. V.
Hunter, T. e. Russell as directors with
4 capital stock of 100000 and COM
pany whose officers are now located in
Denver, Col, doing good business and
Ireceiving large bids for their claim.
| tour years ago these men began to
advance to Lester $50 per month to
;earch the mountains and foothills In
colorado, anticipating the finding Of a
line there.
Several seemingly prospective coun-
les were searched by Lester, but each
! month his report read that nothing OF
much consideration had been found.
But the men We're of determination
to win. They were backed with the
| fact that at one time their expert had
found claim for which he received a
fortune, but on account OF high living
the money had been soon spent and
he had gone back to the life Of the
prospector Month after month Les
ters report would be the same, but ac-
companying it would be letter filled
with words Of hope for the coming
new territory. He was sure that it

a great find"
After two years of hunting in Colo
RADIO he sent a letter saying that he
was going into Nevada to search in
Death valley. Nothing was heard OF
him for some time and the grub
stakers' wore All anxious look. Then
one glorious day they received a tele-
gram that the long looked for mine
had at last been found; that 1t was
even better thar expected; that they
should act at once and send money to
buy several hundred acres and that the
vein was ricn in gold.
Today this company has at work near
the small town of Las Vegas, Ma, a
band Of men with pickaxe and shovel
tunneling into the side of the foothill

now advancing $500 per month and
from recent analysis of the ore they
found that they had pay dirt worth $40
a ton.
These men have no stock for sale
They are putting up their own mill
and are going to work the mine with
out the aid of others. From recent
conversation with one of the directors
it became known that their prospect
is of great value and that recently
they were offered by a corporation a
large amount of money, which they re-
fused.

few months. The Iowa Humane Soci-
ETY. will discuss plans for the unique
home at the annual meeting January

secure immediate benefit from the be-

become Immediately available at the
request of the Humane society.
1t has not been definitely decided as
yet whether to open a home for wives
in furnishing relief for women who are
cause of drink.
ut was Mr.. Callanan's idea," said
Mrs Elizabeth Jones -[Baird today, to
relieve the sufferings Of women who
are made to suffer because their hus-
bands use intoxicating liquors to ex-
cess. The will provides very plainly,
however, that no drunkard shall bene-
fit from the Callahan bequest. Wives
who suffer from drunkard husbands
must either leave them or make GER
tain that the husbands get no benefit
from the aid given them.
I'VE expect to receive the first in
stallment of the $4,000 bequest from
the Callahan estate very soon and
then we can plan accordingly. 1t may
be we will use simply the interest from
the money to furnish relief for drunk
ards wives or make them self sup
porting. We don't want to make pau
pers Of these women and If they can
support themselves with q little help
from the Humane society we will ar
range it in that way. Whether or not
a home will he established has not
been decided upon by the Humane So
ciety We are at work now on some
plan to make the best possible use OF
the $4,000 bequest Mr.. Callahan left
for that purpose to be expended under
our direction
At the meeting of the Humane So
ciety January 8, number Of promin-
ent legislators will be entertained at

Des Moines, Jan. 2.-Earnest, Frank
and Graydon Jackson sons of ex-Gov-
ernor Frank d. jackson, spent the hol-
iday week at home, and while here
told of a big undertaking in which they
are engaged 1t is the strange specta-
Gle of an entire town being moved

lance of twelve miles, the transplant
ing of public buildings and homes. as
is being done with the town Of Dallas.
in Gregory county, S. d.
The jackson boys are engaged In
the lumber and real estate business in
Dallas. 1t is new town, but with
glorious prospects ahead. When the
Northwestern railroad built out thru
the new Rosebud reservation it missed
the place by several miles, but that did
not relegate the infant metropolis to
the fate of henceforth obscurity On
the other hand, when the Northwestern
decided on it's terminus some twelve
miles distant, Dallas at once proceeded
to pick itself up and make itself the
terminus town.
Today the town is slowly making the
way across the wind swept prairies.
The hotel, which was the most impos-
ing structure of the place, is half way
OH it's journey and is being pulled along
by forty-five horses. Twelve public
buildings in all are making the transit.
The town is moved at the rate of a
mile a day.
The new town is to be called New
Dallas and it will be formally opened
as soon as the railroad is completed.
Just west of it is Trip county, with
100000 acres of land, and If 1t is OPP
ened by the COVE nent as was the
Rosebud reservation. as it is believed 1t
will be, then New Dallas will bear to

COLLINS MAN MISSING.
Restaurant Keeper Leaves Mysterious
ly-Business in Good Condition.


Special to Times- Republican.
Nevada, Jan. 1.-The people Of the
little town of Collins are just now
wondering where their former res
taurant keeper, William Deck, has dis
appeared to. Deck had been conduct
ing restaurant for a man named
Lingenfelter fer some months. One
morning the latter of last week, when
some of the boarders came down to
breakfast they found the door still
locked. Along later in the forenoon it
was discovered that Beck had disap-
peared from the town. A search found
the key to the establishment lying on
one of the cellar steps, The proprie-
tor was summoned, an investigation
made, nothing wrong found so far as
the business is concerned, and the
questions are still uppermost: Where
is Beck and why did he leave so mys-
teriously?" The business is. tempor-
arily closed.

cry car received here or at other dl-

The Burlington has adopted the
method of burning the cars as the
quickest of getting them out of the
way Anyone wanting some cheap fire
wood can apply to the officials and can
get free of charge the timbers on the
cars, providing they first remove the
iron parts and haul away the wood.
To replace the cars which will dis
appear, the Burlington shops at all
points will be pushed to the limit in
getting out new carriers. With car
shortage existing at the present time,
the situation will become even more
strained, but the railroads must COM
ply with the law, whether they or the
public suffer or not.

Idle Gossip.

If Solomon were right III saying that
all men are liars, at least some of the
worlds idle gossip may be accounted
for. AS rule, we may mistrust the
man who does things that are question
able merely because he thinks 1t IS
"buman nature" In other words, the
dishonest man must believe every one
else dishonest as an excuse for himself.
He needs this lame faith to fortify HIM
self. Prattle is more often the child OF
thoughtlessness than of intent, yet severe
injury is done in this way. Thackeray
saws. "We somehow greedlly gobble
down all stories in which the characters
of our friends are chopped UP, and be-
lieve wrong of them without inquiry
The virtue of a silent tongue is ennob-
ling. but rare. "The virtue that thinks
not of preserving itself, but of making
other folks happy" is the kind that
would not listen to gossip. If one love
idle talk, there is happy middle ground
in listening to it-don't repeat it.

Giving to God.

The recent triennial convention of the
Episcopal Church at Richmond, Va,
developed an unusual amount of interest
in church work. The total of the mems
thank offering, while not as large as was
expected, was, at the same time, of good
proportions. The total of $765,ooo was
reached, and this, added to $222,ooo by
the womans auxiliary to the church,
lacked only $4,000 of being $I,ooo,ooo
When this was seen the treasurer
said: "Shall we make it a million Z"
and turned to few laymen on the stage
of the great auditorium, and then turned
again to the audience and said, st is a
million" And, then the people broke out
into exultant singing of Praise God
from whom all blessings how"
This must have been an imposing,
reverential moment This offering on
the altar of the church was in behalf of
humanity. It was for the uplifting of
those who knew the helpful and refining
influence of the gospel which faithful
millions believe is the only healing balm
for the evils of mankind. 1t proved
that there are yet chords which are re-
sponsive to good impulses, which, when
touched give forth the melody of love,
and love lives by unsel6sh giving and
serving.

History has made inches in her hall
of fame for many great men. America
has placed laurel wreaths upon many
of her noblest sons. But no country,
no people. ever honored another like
Theodore Roosevelt He is at once the
peer of all who have gone before him
and the model for those who are to
follow. He has no American counter
Dcit. and if the world has ever pro-
duced his equal he would be difficult to
;,ame. In versatility he reminds one of
the present German Emperor, with
some of his eccentricities, none of his
foibles. But he is far greater man.
He is a statesman, and the most accom-
plished politician not only of this but
of any age In fact, many regard him
as more of politician than President.
Perhaps it is best to say he is largely
both. He makes friends and enemies
in one breath, or enemies and friends
in the next He is the acme of antith-
esis, yet not so consistent as not to be
contradictory. He is first, last and all
the time Theodore Roosevelt, and has
never changed since he was born. 1t
is in him-born thereto be naughty
and self reliant manly, brave, fearless,
almost careless of his life, risky even,
full of vim, energy. Walking always
in the hip boots of personal valor, even
while bearing the olive branch of peace.
Theodore Roosevelt fought his way into
public esteem by being full of captivat-
ing effrontery-not of the brazen kind
that made him at once irresistible, the
incompatible soldier, the conspicuous
Theodore, the only Roosevelt.

While the tax assessor of the borough
of Fort Lee has been busy formulating
his plans for securing enough revenue
to run the local government, he has
neglected to give at least one important
matter the attention it deserves 1t is
true that certain properties in Palisade
have had their taxes somewhat reduced;
it is also true that other properties here
have been unduly increased. The plan
adopted seems to have been the same as
last year. Whoever was sent to Pall-
sade to pro rate houses did the job ac
cording to the law of average, and no
attention whatever was given to cost or
location. The motive behind such ac-
ton was all right perhaps, because it
saved time. 1t would have required
lot of labor to get at the facts and labor
was scarce perhaps out of the question.
The Dunbar house, unsold and unoccu
pied. is assessed as much as another
house a block away that cost half as
much more The Brady house is assessed
twice as much as some that cost almost
as much to construct. 1t is to be pre-
sumed that the borough officers are not
Palisadian., 1907-11-01

rewarded with large compensation and
are not constrained to bother too much
about details in their plan of raising
money. This is all very well, but they
would very much more conserve the
public interests, and command its re-
spect if they would only look bit more
into the equity of these matters. The
people of Fort Lee have been warned
again and again about not catering
more to the interests of Palisade. The
truth is, if we've got to stand for these
enormous taxes, we ought to have some
thing for it. The people here are in
open revolt, that's all. With Palisade
contributing one-fourth, perhaps, of all
the taxes of the borough, we get only a
few street lights, three inadequate hy-
drants, and no school facilities. Isn't it
time to call halt on this kind of thing
Or is Fort Lee trying to kill the goose
that laid the golden egg?

Our neighboring borough, Cliffside,
is to be congratulated upon the election
of Major S. Wood McClave as Mayor
in the recent election. 1t speaks well
for the good sense and sound judgment
of a community to cast its suffrage tor
so able man. He has lived on the
Palisades over a fifth Of century, and
is acquainted with the needs of the
people better than most men, and public
issues are safe in his hands. He will
make all admirable Mayor, no doubt,
and "The Palisadian" offers him its
fluctuations over his worthy victory.
Major McClave has greatly benefited
Palisade in turning his influences toward
securing our post Office, and we are de-
lighted at his success. He is man OF
marked merit and of most substantial
character.

The New Jersey Election.

The late election in this State elected
again the Republican ticket. Judge Fort
was pronounced enough upon the excise
question, so that the chances favor
continuance of the open Sunday. It all
that has been said of the new Governor
be true, New Jersey should continue to
thrive under his regime. 1t is unfortun-
ate that the condition of politics under
which Governor Fort was elected could
not commit him and his legislature to
some kind of policy that would relieve
the strain of being forever under the
dominance of such a continual menace
as the Public Service Corporation. But,
of course, until the people, with their
ballots, awaken to realizing sense of
true conditions, there can be but little
hope of relief The ballots the thing,
but is must keep on the job. One de-
feat of corporate greed will not put it
out of business by. long shot.
