A LLEGED Irregularities in the pur-
n chase of dry colors for use in the
bureau of engraving and printing
have been brought to light through
which the government has paid about
$1,000.000 too much for its supplies.
Whether the Irregularities are action
able or not is now under consldera-
tion by United States Attorney Baker
of the District of Columbia.
The matter has been under investi-
CATION by the treasury department for
about year. and has been kept very
quiet. 1t finally transpired through
the puslicat IN of the hearings on the
sundry civil pill before the house COM
mittee 90 appropriations.
For several years the government
paid from As to so cents pound for
these colors. Concerns which had lost

that something was wrong. 1t de-
veloped that the ink used was made
by a process invented by man in
the bureau. The government paid 45
cents pound for hard black" and
as high as 65 cents pound for a
"soft black" When the charges were
made last year, Director Sullivan of
the bureau made personal investi-
CATION of the manner in which the
color contracts were made. and found
that . satisfactory black could be pro-
duced for IL cents pound.
Thereupon the price was reduced,
and the saving for the year was more
than $4,000. The color contracts
heretofore had been in charge OF the
ink expert of the bureau, and the
price had been about what is charged
by several different ink concerns n
tbs open market.

After Mrs Dewey's marriage the X
street house was leased first to the
late Senator Alger, and latterly to
Secretary Hitchcock. Mr.. Hitchcock
recently gave up the place, and i'm
mediately worlSmen began making re-
pairs and alterations, Their orders
were so imperative that they worked
far into the night.
Mrs. Dewey's home in X street is
magnifcently furnished and it is said
that the Rhode Island avenue place
will be leased furnished. The X
street house was the home of Mrs.
Dewey during the lifetime of her first
husband, Gen. Hazen Of the signal
service. Her X street house is much
nearer the residence of her mother.
and She likes that location better
than the house presented by the
American people to her husband. The
title to the Rhode Island avenue
house now stands is In Mrs. Dewey's
name.

Strength of Man of 20, and Is
Champion "Broncho Buster"

Clairemont TeX.-H. II. Bourne of
this place is 80 years old. He believes
that he has discovered the secret of
longevity and that with proper appli-
cation of his system there is no good
excuse for a person dying under 300
years old. Mr.. Bourne says he will
live to be 800 years old. He does not
look day over so at this time.
He has just returned from bust
ness trip to Mexico, where he made a
muleback ride of 200 miles through
the mountains. Every muscle in his
body is supple and strong. His mind
is clear as a man of 20. He is one of
the most wonderful men living to-day.
There are many people here who can
testify to his powers of endurance
and exhibitions of strength. He is the
champion ''broncho buster" of this Sec
ton despite his 80 years. There is not
an outlaw horse in Kent county that
he cannot ride.
Mr.. Bourne studied mineralogy and
chemistry when a young man and he
has applied his knowledge to his ex-
periments with the human system for
many years until he has discovered
what he claims to be a simple and GER
tain method of prolonging health and
life almost indefinitely.

THOUGHT TO HAVE DISCOv-
Erred AN OLD SPANISH MINE

From the Battle Mountain Herald.
One day this week several parties
made a rush into the hills to investi-
gate what they believed to be the
discovery OF an old Spanish mine,
reputed to be rich in gold values.
Years ago, as the story goes, an old
Spaniard by the name of Canon used
to make trips to Carlin and send away
small bricks Of gold by stage mail.
After receiving returns from his gold
he would loaf around Carlin spending
o Of his time gambling with the
soldiers at the old fort, and after his
money was all gone would return to
the mountains. coming back later with
more gold. Many people tried to fol
low the old man to his mysterious
mine, but like the famous Scotty of
today, he always succeeded in evad.
ing his pursuers. Finally the attempt
was given up and it was reported
that he was a counterfeiter This
however, could not be proven, but his
mine came to be considered a myth
and at last he was left in peace and
was looked upon as one of the eccen-
tric and mysterious characters of the
times.
During a severe winter the old fell
low started to make a trip back to
his rendezvous in the mountains with
his pack mules, but froze to death on
the way. Later the mules strayed in
to Carlin without their owner, and
the old man and his mysteries were
forgotten.
Now comes the story that Tom Jew
ell, John Finn and DR.. C. p. Fryer OF
Palisade, while out prospecting a
few days ago, happened to find in a
secluded place an old Spanish fur

EXCITEMENT NEAR
OLD TOWN OF
BULLION
From the Battle Mountain Herald.

From the Battle Mountain Herald.
PALISADE, Nev., Oct. 3.-The dis
covery of a large body of rich ore in
the old ~Sweepstake mine, IL miles
from Palisade, is attracting the atten
tion of this district, it being one of
the richest finds made here in recent
years The peculiar feature of the
discovery is the fact that the prop
erty is an old one and was rather ex-
tensively developed by former own
ers, but without any very appreciate
results. No less than $4,000 had been
expended on the property in the early
days driving tunnels and sinking
shafts, but it remained for p. ID. lei
mas to dig into the side wall of one
of the old tunnels and uncover the
ore. That which had been used for
the side wall by the old-timers was in
reality the ore body for which they
were seeking.
Rich ore in large quantities has
also been discovered on another part
of the claim and is opened up by tun-
mel. The lowest average is said to
run q per cent copper and AZ ounces
silver, while the best of the ore runs
6s per cent copper and 354 ounce
silver. Several cars have already
been shipped, but owing to the delay
in transit only one car has been de-
liyered to the smelter. This brought
about $4,000.
The property has been examined
by Don ellis, representing the
Sehwab interests in Nevada, and it is
rumored that a deal is bein negotiated
which win probably go through with

the strike, made a record breaking
