ROMANCE 0F V|LJOEN
FAMOUS eoER GENERAL NOW Liv-
 ING IN NEW MEXICO.
captor of pr. Jameson Leading Quiet Existence as Fourth-cIass United States Postmaster--Weds su
 Illinois Girl.

New York-To lose a country and find a wife may not be bad trade, even if it does involve descending from the seats of the mighty to the position of fourth-class postmaster in little hamlet on the very out skirts of civilization.
 This is, in capsule form, the real life roma ace of Gen. Benjamin Johanis viljoen. postmaster of Chamberino, Rio Arriba county, N. M. Ten years ago his name was a household word wherever printing press is known, as the captor of the aspiring but prema- ture Dr. Jameson, the South African raider With equal success he fought the Basuto savages, receiving his re- ward in the shape of seat in the volksraed, or senate, of the Transvaal republic.
 With De Wet and Botha he aided in the shattering of British military idols from the start almost to the finish cf the Boer war. Like Napoleon he was sentenced to punishment for life on the lonely rock of St. Helena, and when amnesty was offered he pre- ferred perpetual exile to taking the oath of allegiance to the crown against which he had born arms.
 Benjamin Johanis Viljoen, now en- gagged in the humdrum occupation Of selling two-cent stamps at Chamber ino, was born at Woodhouse, eastern Cape Colony, 3S years ago In 1SS8, when but beardless boy of IS years, he caught the gold fever and joined the rush of eager Argonauts to the Rand. The goddess of the mines did not smile upon his labors, and in 1S90 he gave up prospecting to enter the service of the Boer government as as- sistant public prosecutor He still

longed for adventure. and three years later he became organizing officer of the volunteer militia, with the rank of lieutenant, rising gradually until he became major. His first leap into the spot light was made in 1898, whom he gained international renown as leader in the capture of Doctor Jim, whose misfortune was that he made his spectacular move just little too soon.
 For his services at this time Will joen was promoted to the position of commandant of militia and special commandant of the burgher, or citi- zen, forces, of Johannesburg. His mettle having been tried and found true, in 1897 he was intrusted with leadership Of an expedition in Swazi- iduti
 During the latter stages of the be- roic Boer struggle for independence against an overwhelming weight of numbers and material resources. Vil- joen captured many armored trains, and kept up an unceasing campaign with the object of harassing and wor- rying the enemy, while his com patriots. De Wet and Botha, were CO., operating elsewhere. Two months before the last shot was fired he was ambushed at midnight. while crossing faa British cordon with a small escort. His hos.e was shot under him, and he was severely ~sAndef, making his capture easy. He was seatepced to banishment for life on the isiaaa of St. Helena, where he was confined until in the fall of 1902. He was then paroled and returned to South Africa to lid farewell to the land for which he had fought in vain. to sever old ties. and to gather together the little that belonged to him that had escaped the general cataclysm. lic Was 3iae of the ..irreconciiabies. steadfastly re. fnsing to accept amnesty at the price Of swearing allegiance to the king. 4 fey faithful followers. bound to gis2 " ties sf blood. elected to ac- company him inss esije, and together they set sail for tse lang 9f fhe free, arriving in New York ia necemeea. 1902
 The exiles found the hearts and homes of America open to them. and selected New Mexico as their land of opportunity. On his way to his new home Gen. yiljoen foreswore his al lc-ianco ta the red god of war, meet ing red-cheeked girl of Illinois in St Louis. and surrenderias uneandi- tionally to the dimpled deity of love, He had lost his country. but he had found a wife, who now rules jointly with him over the post office at Cham berino: and if the shadows Of past greatness sometimes haunt him, in her sympathetic arms he banishes re- sret.

 Pine Bluff. Feb. l6.--At both morning services held at St. Joseph s Catholic church in this city, Sunday. Monsignor J. M. Lucey asked his congregation to unite in prayer for the recovery of Governor John $. Little. who is now In Texas for his health. Monsignor Lucey stated from the pulpit that while Governor Little was mot Catholic. he was the governor ,or civil superior of the state. and as IscyaI citizens. the sympathy of that body should be extended to him in his hour ot trial, The congregation knelt al each service while Monsignor Lucey offered the prayer

 The height of the outside wall IS 55 feet and the grand arch inside IS 45 feet high and the side arches 40 feet, The basement contains large chapel well furnished. The building is heat. ed by steam. The windows of the church are of grandly decorated glass, and the center of each represents some figure or event spoken of in holy writ. The high altar is one of the best ever manufactured, and everything that Gothic designs could furnish to enhance beauty and devo ton seem to have come together here in a remarkable manner The altar table and tabernacle are made oi highly polished Italian marble inlaid with mosaic work and the finials and baidachins are richly decorated in all that art can produce. The funds te build this church were furnished bF the farmers of the region and the building was dedicated and conse, crated free of all debt by Bishop Schinner of Superior, Wis, assisted by Most Rev Archbishop Keane of Dubuque.

factured which will be as sweet and mild as her favorite.
 Mrs. Cox was born in Columbia, not far from where she new resides.
 Her first husband was a soldier in the war of 1919, and her second bus band served two enlistmentG in the civil war. Many of her relatives sery. ed in the war with Spain, and in all cases they won some distinction.
 Mrs. Cox walks about the house without assistance, and although small in stature and her features much wrinkled, she does not look the mum Der of her years Her eyes are bright and she is able to read few minutes each day without the aid of glasses. Her hearing is remarkably acute, her ears catching perfectly conversation in the lowest of tones.
 Her appetite is excellent and she sleeps well, despite the fact that she has never used patent medicines which aspiring advertisers have cndeavored to thrust upon her during the last few years.
 She says that she knows tobacco Is bad for young people and she doesn't expect to live out half her days If she keeps on smoking her pipe, which she has almost constantly in her mouth In her joking mood she declares that if there are any good looking young men in town who are looking for a good housewife she will consider theii proposal. There are four generations in the house where Mrs. Cox lives, her daughter being 76, her grandson Al. and great-granddaughter being 1s years old. Perhaps the most remark able feature in the longevity of Mrs Cox is that she has worked hard a! her life, rearing family of six chil dren, caring for hvc stock, splitting wood and shoveling snow.

RICH SAMPLES
FROM TYPO NINE
HIGH GRADE ORE FROM THE
THREE HUNDRED FOOT
LEVEL.

It is getting to be an every day
matter to make a rich strike in the
Tybo mine, since the mine was clean
ed of the water and refuse that had
lain in the bottom OF the shaft, and
cboked the lower levels for years.
But the last find Of a few days ago
was the best that has yet been un-
covered. 1t was on the three hun
dred foot level and there are some
magnificent samples of the ore in the
offices of the company IN the State
Bank and Trust Company building.
Malcolm Macdonald has one piece,
and it Is not a small piece either,
which goes eighty ounces in silver
and sixty per cent in lead. How mucn
of this they have is not known. as
there has not been sufficient develop.
ment work done to determine. But
it would take a very little of it tc
make shipping a strong possibility
although the owners of the mine con
slider 1t a milling proposition.

Mining Engineer
at Gold Circle

1t is my opinion that the Gold
Circle district, located north OF Win
nemucca, will eventually become a
big producing camp" said D. H.
Skea, the well known mining engi-
neer from Mazuma, to a Tribune man
yesterday. NO great amount of
development work has been done as
yet, but the surface showings and
formation are ideal indications and
when the lodges are opened at depth
an abundance of shipping ore should
be found"
Mr.. Skea has Just returned from
Gold Circle and Golconda, where he
has been examining properties for
Oakland, Cal, and Eastern capital
lists, and in giving a report of his
trip said that Gold Circle was surely
In line for a coming producer.
"A popularity of the Gold Circle
district" continued Mr.. Skea, lis the
large quantities of gold found in the
soil. From numerous paintings taken
from all over the district, the show
ing is great and it is believed that
not only will the lodges ibe/ rich and
productive, but that a vast amount
of gold will be taken out of the placer
beds. The gold is very fine, but the
paintings are among the richest ]
have ever seen"
In speaking of the lodges, Mr., Skes
said that they were not very large
varying from five to sixteen inches II
width, but were we'll defined ant
showed permanency. The veins a
the surface are purely silicious anC
the ore is free milling. The values
run all the way from $50 to severa
hundred, and owing to the abundan
supply Of water in the district, tn,
values can be extracted at a small
cost, thereby doing away with tn.
haul to the railroad.
