VIA ] this time everybody has agreed
NIX upon Nathan Hale as the one
supreme representative OF
American Revolutionary mar
tyrtlom. The last words of the young
soldier Just before the British hanged
him as spy have become part of
our most sacred national Inheritance:
Il only regret that | have but one
life to lose for my country"
Within fifteen years two splendid
statues and several other memorials
have been raised To the memory OF
Nathan Hale, notable play depicting
his life and death has been written
and widely produced. scores OF maya
zine articles on the subject have been
published, and several complete and
detailed Biographies have come from
the press 1t is curious fact that two
biographies published the same year,
1899, bore these kindred titles: Nathan
Hale, the Martyr Spy" and Nathan
Hale, the Martyr Hero This shows
how students of American history and
heroism vie with each other in paying
tardy tribute 10 the young Connecticut
patriot who gave up his life as sac
rifice to freedom on Sept. -, 1916
only two and a half months after the
first glorious Fourth"
For seventy years the dust of the
young hero lay in some unidentified
spot on Manhattan Island before the
first monument to his memory was
erected. In 1921 the women of his M
tive town, Coventry, Conn, conceived
the plan of building Nathan Hale
monument They worked for several
years In raising funds. and the memo
rial was completed and dedicated in
1916. Just seventy years after the exc

The Macmonnies statue OF Hale.
which stands in City Han park New
York, WAS dedicated in 1893, with i'm

and military and naval parade. A
few years later the alumni of Yale uni

The state senate, after a day of
debate, endorsed the action of Governor
Davidson in declining to pay the large
attorney fees presented by the estate
of the late H. W. Chynoweth for
services in some of contested railroad
tax suits. Governor La Toilette paid
Chynoweth $12, 500. and an additional
claim for $27, 500 was presented to
Governor Davidson, who refused to
audit the same, but allowed 81, 500, cut
ting the claim 500, 900. The estate APP
pealed to the legislature. Much in

The Wisconsin legislature made an
appropriation Of Sl25, 600 for buildings

propriating 81, 500 year to induce i'm
migration into the state and for the
purpose of advertising the many adj
vantages presented in Wisconsin for

whole state, the practical benefits will

this appropriation is judiciously used
there is no question but great benefits

Not since the Hot Onion strike has
there been an event of more interest ana
to the owners of property IN
the northern part of the Fairview ore
zone than the strike recorded by the
Atchison. Davis & Parrot lease on the
Fairview Clipper, authentic information
of which lcaked out Sunday. Being near

does not in the least reflect on the pos
sibilities opened up for that section.

the nature of the ore is the very best
indication for developments ex-
traordinary with further work on his

first started on the property; at that
the best values uncovered were
around s19. 1t seems that some lucky
prospecting by the gentlemen who Sc
cured the lease resulted in the discov-
cry of 5000 ore at this point, several
weeks ago, and, although the taking OF
a lease on the Clipper September first
created little lit was not a
chance matter with Messrs. Atchison,
Davis & Parrot. At the end of the hrst

IN a clear-cut vein of quartz, with as
says running from $500 to s1.1Oo; in
fact so rich is the quartz matter, that
the vein only varying from 4 to 8 inches
in width is yielding a nice profit ON the
present work.
Typical gray quartz in soft porphyry,
with values in a chloride of silver. the
characteristic rich surface ore OF the
camp, the specimens from the strike are
worthy of comparison with the best
showings of the district, and have made
an impression on the many who have
seen them that will do much to aug

good properties in this neighborhood.

the Clipper, was here Saturday and sun

1t is not the high values on top of the

Made Careful Selection

Mr.. Hobbs spent eleven days exploring
the various reefs and blowouts before
stalking the three claims for himself ana
partner. He carefully measured the
width along it's entire trend, and found
the figures as stated above. He panned
along the entire length and breadth or
the reef, and never failed to get a string
of colors. OF the ASSAYS obtained this
evening, No. 1 was an average across
eight feet, while No. 2 was a general
average taken across the width and
length of the reef. Mr.. Hobbs has To-
Gated all the water rights and also a
TOWNSHIP. A corporation will be formed
to handle the latter, and lots will be
offered to the public. A great demand
for inside lots is expected. several Won
der people having already applied for
them. On his way out Mr.. Hobbs met
quite a number of prospectors going in.
and as news of the strike is spreading.
quite a rush is Anticipated from now on.
