We come now to a most interesting fact. to
which properly the author assigns n para
graph. About l64i-t2 Col. Richard Lee
emigrated TO Virginia. and there founded
a family which has produced q larger num-
her OF celebrated men, whether in states
manship OF in war, than any other family
which England has furnished TO America.
Whether he was descended from the Lees
Of Cotton or the Lees Of Ditohley. he I'M
ouestionably sprang from q line Of pro-
o~enitors Of whom II has been Justly said
that they were knights and gentlemen
Of high position before the ancestors Of half
the present peerage OF England had emerged
from obscurity." Contrary to a current
opinion, there seems 70 have been no political
motive in the emigration OF Richard Lee,
although about the year when he went out
TO Virginia the Long Parliament was sternly
arraiRning all who had shown zeal In carry
ing out the Kings policy. The author Of this
book deems it probable that without any
thought as TO the rising connection in
England, which finally waR TO involve
persons Of his social rank In a whirlwind.
Richard Lee was induced 20 &C to Virginia
BY the prospect OF great Improvement In his
pecunlary condition. That q man OF his
distinguished social anteoedents and In
f~uential social connections should have
decided in i6li that the colony offered
greater opportunities to persons Of his class
than England itself 10, as Mr.. Bruce justly

SINKING RESUMED IN lEGH0RN
 SHAFT
(From Tuesday's Daily.l

Sinking has been resumed with thrce shifts in the Lcghorn shaft. and there are . number of miners engaged
 in pushing the drifts ahead and stop ing,' said R. H. Burmis'cr. general manager of the Arizona Coppcr-Gold Mines company. who returned Sunday from visit io his company's camp in ,h" Cherry Creek district.
 ''The IO-siamp mill i- running -teadily.' he said, "and giving good satisfaction in the treatment of the ore. Recently. John F. Pcnbcr'hy of Fl Faso made n very careful 'xamina- tion of the ccmpnny's properties. His report shows that there is now in sight m the mine. ready to bc stopped. SsJ.. 2Oj worth of ore, although there mas been expended only S52,OOO in the lc- velopmcnt and equipment of the prop erty. This statement, coming as ii does. from such a prominent mining engineer ns Mir. Pcnbcrthy. shows the property is one of merit. and an. other good feature Is that the results obtained from the treatment of the ores in the mill snow the report was very conservative. There has been 3.5l6 feet of development done on the ground. according to actual measure menis taken by Engineer Penbcrthy. with ore in every opening. The force is being increased as fast as miners ran be secured, nud sinking will be continued stations will he cut at every io0-foot level and the vein opened by drifts. In the lower level in the Lcghorn there is iJ-inch pay. streak that samples over SiO to the ton."
 Among the improvements being made at the camp k the building of bunk house for the accommodation If the increased force of miners that it js the intention to employ. William McNeiI recently took charge of the underground work as foreman, rudcr J. \. Sessions. superintendent. Three miners hired by Mir. Burmistcr yastcr- day. will leave today for the camp.
 Thei company's properties. consisting of seventeen claims, are located in the Black Hills range, about sixteen miles east of Dewey. The district IS one of the richest mineral sections in the county.

Editorial Comment

Everyone will remember how certain big mills. employing thousands of men, closed down, inc eve of McKinley's first election. avowedly as an "obicct lesson. The "paDics" of last spring, in inc stock market. were plainly man ipuhtcd for effect. The most sinister feature of the matter is that the evils predicted may he superinduccd. to :, degree. hy this policy of crying "wolf. =
 Fortunately, there are indications of reaction against this rcprehcnsible policy. The Hartman lines have put n veto upon the reported Santa F,'s scheme to punish the west by with. drawing tourist rates. Give the devil his due for that. The coast has much more reason to feel friendly toward Mr. Ripley's Toad than to it's big rival. This good opinion is n valuable asset, in itself. II should not bc squandcrcd roe l. l...Iv

MAN WHO LOCATED CONGRESS MINE
 |S DEAD
(fSom Tuesday's Dsily.)

In ,hc death of Dennis May of this city. Sunday morning, in the Sister 's hospital. a' Phornix, Arizona loses one of its most successful prospcc'ors and explorers. and inc west a picturesque character known far and wide for inc many manly attributes of inc early pioneers. which were characteristic of the man. Pneumonia was the fatal mnlldy. u" Leaves no immediate" rel a'i,"s in this section. but has n brother and sister living in Buffalo. Y. r.. who hay" been notified of his death. lli, remains will b" held in Phoenix. awaiting instructions from them.
 Dennis May arrived in Prescott in the latter eos. and at once engaged in mining and prospecting. Love of gold and adventure won him many hair. breadth escapes in the early days. un- 'il Dame Fortune finally smiled m him. in 1883. when nc discovered and located the famous Congress mine. II" opened 'hc property. after selling an interest m it io John Doughcriy of this city. for the necessary capital to conilnu" the work. In 1887 he sold the mine to Diamond .Io Reynolds and Frank NJ. Murphy. who equipped and developed II. and later incorporated it into inc Congress Gold company.
 In 1889, after receiving inc final payment, May left for his olL home in Buffalo, where he remained for some time, with his parents. llo pur- chased n home for them. and later two farms. which he willcd io his brother and sister. his parents being now dead. After enjoying city life for . few months, th" call of the mountains again lurcd him west. lIe cam. io Prescott and ag8in set out in search of mineral wealth. He started to d.v.lop the Alaska mine. which parallels the Congress. one half mile to the west. m which he sold an interest to n. l.
 
 property until he proved its worth. al- though many experienced miners be. lieved it to have little merit. His judgment again proved good and the mine was taken over by ihc United Mines company. incorporated by his partner. D. !. Sullivan. The lasi pay-' ment of the purchase price wyl short. ly fall due. so that ne leaves n vnn- able estate.
 He also discovered other promising properties during inc past few years. which he disposed of to good advant- age. He IS reputcd to have never dug a hole ten feet on n claim that he did not sell, and to have never rcaom- mendcd inc purchase of mine that did not prove good.
 He was native of New York and aged 66 years.

JAY 0FF MINERS AT
 THE GOLD ROAD MINE

klNGMAN, Ariz.. Oct. h. Last week the Gold RoaI Mining company laid off between scventy-6ve and eighty men at the mine, and for some time only enough men will be worked in the property to keep it in shape. The hoist will be kept in operation and the ore broken in stopes win be run to inc mill, that plant being kept in operation by n full force. Ii is esti- mated that enough ore is now broks ksn in the mine 10 keep the mill in oper- alton for six months or more.
 It IS tue intention of the company to make complete change in the ma. chinery, both at the mine and mill, the present gasoline power to be re. placed by electric motors. 4 big holster is to be put on the main shaft and more modern equipment is to rec place the present machinery at all points. The mill is also to bc replaced ny more modern plant and when all tho changes have been made the mill will have n capacity of 10000 tons of or" monthly. This will he more than donble the present capacity of the plant. lt is also probable that the ores will be slimed and that big gravity filter will he put in Tn place of the present pressure filters. Ky this ar. rangement greater saving will he made at less expense.
 The Gold Road mine is one of tho greatest gold mines in the world, and the company has proven its value at n depth of 500 feet, where it shows a great vein of ore, the values of which are far ricner than in any other part of ihe mine. The company is to sink other shafts and upraises arc to be made from the deep level to the sur face, where they will be equipped with electric holsters. Everything in and about the mines and mill Is to bc clec- tricized, the power coming from the big plant at Kingman. When all Che changes are made at mine and mill the output will run about s2o0, ,000 pcr month.

Physicians Puzzled.

Omaha, Neb.-H D. Parker of West
field, Mass, travelling salesman for the
Textile manufacturing company of that
city, is a patient at st. Bernard's hos
pital in Council Bluffs, suffering from
a malady that is puzzling the physi-
clans attending him.
He attended the convention of Ne
braska undertakers held in Omaha last
week and was stricken with a malady
that physicians were unable to name.
He had suffered an attack of brain
fever in Milwaukee short time ago,
and fell unconscious in the street there.
When he was taken to the hospital
at Council Bluffs he fought the am
bulance attendants viciously until he
was finally overpowered.
The malady from which he is now
suffering is believed by physicians to
be an outgrowth of his illness at MIL
waukee.
