are located.
The Mission is increasing its
usual output on account of the
dirt getting richer, and, besides,
the property is being run double

have been made about the prop

added very materially to the eco

in production. Shaft No. 3 has

A Good Democratic Daily.

To the people OF this commun-
| ity we heartily recommend The
Kansas City Daily Post as a
newspaper. 1t has the strongest
and best Geographic service of
all the papers in Kansas City
the Hearst service. The Associ-
ated Press reports have always
been prejudicial to the Demo-
cratic party and readers of Demo-
cratic papers have not been able
| to get at the true inwardness of
things. because the Associated
Press is dominated by Repub-
licans, who in turn are dominated
by the trusts. The Hearst ser
vice is free, fair and independent.
In market reports The Post is
unsurpassed by any paper in the
West. Every detail is thorough
and complete. 1t is organizing
a strong corps of country cores
pondents who are gathering news
for it and sending the same in as
specials. 1t is reliably Demo-
cratic, vigorous, conservative and
straightforward. The subscrip-
ton price of The Post is $3.50 a
year by mail. Therefore, all who
want a Democratic daily that has
for its motto:
Heres freedom to him that would read,
Here's freedom to him that would write, /"

IL, which demonstrates that the
rich deposit on which the Mason
and Monon are developing, ex.
tends to the Cherokee lease. As
soon as the development is far
enough ahead, Mr.. Copp assures
us that a large mill will be
erected.
The Micawber mill was run a
few hours last week on the dirt
taken from the sinking of shaft

shaft has proven very rich ore al
the 7S-foot level and from the
drilling il shows that the face
continues for 81 feet. This is
just directly west of the Meal.
lister lease and east of the Com.
mon Law.
The M. K. & T. is running
steadily and making its usual
production of high grade ore.
Don McRuer, manager of the
company, informs us he is pre-
pairing to run the mill night and
day. A long tram is being built
from the Ward shaft, directly
west of the mill so that the ore
from that shaft can be milled on
the NJ. X. & T. mill by the night
shift. This will at least double
the production at this point.
Another new mill just started
is the McAllister, located directly
south of the Monon and Mason
leases and just south of the Old
Abe. This property has been
under development for about one
year and has produced some very
fine ore, a mill having been in
stalled which was completed and
started up recently. The ore on
this lease is very rich and this
property is considered to be as
promising a money maker as any
in the district.
The Common Law, under the
management of Thos. Timothy,
has been making excellent pro-
gress and has sufficient ground
now opened up to justify the
building of a large mill. Mr..
Timothy assures us that his COM
pany will proceed at once to erect
as fine a mill as money can buy,
and with the quality and guam.
tity of ore he has demonstrated
on this lease, the property will,
we think, make a wonderfully
good showing from the produc-
er's point of view.
A new mill under course of
construction at the present time
and which will be put into oper-
alton not later than the 1st dav
of May, is being erected by the
Hannibal & St. Joe Mining Co.,
a mile west of the Mission and
three-fourths of a mile directly
north of the Virginia. The same
conditions obtain at this property
that is found at all the others
which are adjacent to it, verify

The Virginia, a mile west of
the Mission, is pushing the de-

opment at both shafts has shown

THEATER BOX SHOOTING.
Dramatic Suicide Attempt of Mr.. Crow
of PittSburg.

PITTSRCRG, April 11.-Standing in a
box in the Grand Opera House in fun
view of a large audience, Herbert NJ
Crow, twenty-five years old, shot himself
yesterday afternoon His act caused a
panic in the theater and many women
tainted or became hystercal.
Young Grow, who is a nephew of Presi-
dent McEldowney of the Union Trust
Company, H. c. Tricks bank has been
laborng under mental decisions for some
time, and his uncle declared after the
shooting that the act was the result of
"Pittsburg paranoia." For several months
Crow has been morose, declaring that he
should be able TO make vast sums Of
money in the stock market. He had said
that he wanted to make million a day"
He did not show any signs of suicidal
mania. however, until the beginning of the
Thaw trial, when, two months ago he
wrote letter to his uncle, Lawyer Nc
Eldowney, in which he said that he in
tended to end his life. He was hurried to
a sanitarium but was released a week
ago, after showing signs of improvement.
He went TO the theater yesterday after
noon and obtained a seat in the lower
right-hand stage box. At the beginning of
the performance he started writing a long
letter. When this was finished he called
messenger and sent it to his uncle
Crow sat quietly through the first part
of the act. When the player was singing
her "Unrequited Love" song, with only
spot light showing in the entire house. he
stood up in the box and loaded his re-
volver. AT the conclusion of a verse of
the song the theater flooded with
light, revealing Crow standing in the box
with the weapon against his body. After
firing the shot Crow fell half over the
railing of the box.
The letter which Crow had sent con-
tanned the statement that he was about to
commit suicide, and they had started out
at once in search of him Crow was put In
the ambulance and hurried to the hos
pital, where it was found that the bullet
had passed through his intestines caus-
ing several punctures. and had lodged at
the base of the spine. The surgeons say
that there is practically no chance for his
recovery.
