can sing, and it is remarkable, in
deed. for one of that age to sing In a
religious meeting for the benefit OF
prisoners, but last Sunday Mrs. Lucy

in the meeting in the Bangor jail, and
sang a solo sweetly and feelingly, and
with visible effect on the prisoners,
most of whom are not all bad-merely
unfortunate.-Kenneb Journal.

PLOT To LOOT
HARRIMAN'S Mine

DEADWOOD, S. D., Sept. H.
Through the arrest of Erwin Hilton,
one of the trusted millmen employed
by the Golden Reward Mining Com
pany, of which E. H. Hartman is the
principal stakeholder and dominant
factor, gigantic conspiracy for the
wholesale theft of high-grade ore and
mill precipitates has been exposed.
Hilton has confessed, waived a hear
ing and given bond to the grand jury.
Hiltons confession alone involves,
it is stated, more than $4,000. Five
other well known men implicated in
the conspiracy, have left for parts I'M
known, but a search is now being
made for them.
F. l.. Thorpe, well known jeweler
of Lead City, who has heretofore
borne the best of reputation, is also
involved. He has been arrested on
the charge of receiving the stolen
bullion from Hilton and his confed-
crates. Hilton's confession has not
been made public, but the few off,
Gals who know of its contents says
it is sensational in the extreme.

ALvARADo's MINE.
New Deal ON for the Great Mexican
Property.


The reported negotiations that
have been going on for the leasing or
purchase of Pedro Alvarados famous
Palmilla mine at Parral, Mexico,
have now reached the stage of an OPP
era bouffe. The very latest news
from the camp indicates that Eugene
Davis, the Washington, D. c., pro-
moter, who has been enjoying all
kinds of publicity in connection with
his reputed possession of the mine,
has been turned down and others in
terests have been substituted in his
stead
1t is we'll known that all of the ex-
travagant tales of Alvarados wealth;
of his ability to pay the Mexican ma
tional debt; of his effort to commits
sion several regiments of Mexicans to
subdue the Yaquis, are all pure
myths Most of these stories are due
to clever press agents who have prop

ing to float.
AS matter of fact AlvaradO needs
money and would be quite satisfied
to find 100000, out of the $780,
900, 900 that fake story writer's give
him, to complete his many schemes.
John A. Avirette, mining expert
who has Just returned from the Pal
milla mine, which he has examined
for the Venture Corporation, Lin.
tied, admits in an interview at Tor
reon thar he spent four days in an
effort to see the mine unwatered.
and, owing to the fact that the water
was not taken out of the mine while
he was there, no examination was
made of the bottom of the workings
and he returned to his headquarters
in Mexico City.
Mr. .Avirette says that in his opin-
ion the property has been Quilted to
the water level What values exist
below the water level he is not in a
position to say. He says, however
that he talked with number of min
ers who worked in the lowest levels,
and they all unanimously state that
bonanza ore exists under the water.
Mr.. Avirette would not purchase
the property unless he could see the
mine bottom, so it would be neces-
sary for the present management of
the world-famous mine of Pedro Al
vardo to unwater the property and
allow thorough and complete exam
ination by him for the Venture Cor
poration before any deal could be
I consumated with them.
/ The property is at present being
operated by George Beckman, of Par
Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1907-09-18

raj, who is working it under fifteen
years lease, and who knows the big
value of the property. Mr.. Beckman
offered the lease to the Venture Cor
poration, Limited, which sent its ex-
rert, Mr. Avirette, to examine 1t. Mr..
Beckman is now working in some of
the upper levels of the mine and has
some ore in sight that looks encour-
aging.
In speaking of conditions in the
Parral camp Mr.. Avirette says:
THE future of Parral will depend
entirely upon cheaper electric power,
which can easily be got by harness
ing some of the streams on the west
ern fall of the Sierra Madre and
bringing the power across the noun
tains to Parral. Until such time,
the unwatering of the mines there
will be serious problem, as fuel
conditions are unfavorable.
There is but little question" adds
Mr.. Avirette. that an enormous ton
mage OF medium and low grade ores
still stand unstoped in the mine
above the water level, and that
cheaper and plentiful power would
add many years lifetime to the Par
raj mines. The chief obstacle to the
accomplishment of this is the lack of
union among the mine owners of that
district and their unwillingness to
guarantee any capitalist a sufficient
consumption of power to justify the
expenditure for a large central plant
necessary for this work. New York

CLEVELAND IS :
MUCH IMPROVED

PRINCETON, N. j., Sept. IL
Former President Cleveland took. a
carriage ride this afternoon. He
was out nearly two hours and was
accompanied by trained nurse. He
was not driving on Saturday, but was
out on Frilay, accompanied only by
his coachman. Upon his return this
afternoon Mr.. Cleveland was seen by
reporter of the Associated Press,
and when asked as to his health,
said he felt good, remarking: You
can see how / feel
Mr.. Cleveland, as rule, denies
himself to callers, but has lost none
of his interest in affairs, and reads
the newspapers and attends to his
correspondence regularly.
Mrs. Cleveland returned to Prince
ton about three weeks ago, and later
returned to Tamworth, N. H., where
the Cleveland children have been
spending the summer. She will re-
turn to Princeton probably next
week.
Friends of the former President
say his general health at present is
better than at any time during the
past summer. He is still subject to
indigestion, but has not had bad
attack lately. He is also equity at
times, but it is not considered seri-
ously, as it only affects him in one
foot

TONOPAH MAN
in PREDICAMENT

RENO, Sept. 17.-John Hargesty
formerly resident Of Tonopan, ar
rived in this city Saturday morning
without a cent, although he started
from Goldfield Friday night with
more than $50 in his pocket. Har-
gesty stated to the police on arriving
in Reno that he had purchased a
ticket for Reno and had intended to
come here for short vacation, and
that while he was sleeping in a Pull
man car between Goldfield and this
city, he was robbed of his ticket and
all his money. He has two daughters
in Goldfield and stated to the police
that he could get more money by tel
egraphing to them, but did not have
the necessary funds to send the mes
sage.
The police told Hargesty that it
was county case and sent him to
the sheriff, who reached down in his
own pocket and dug up the coin nee
essary to pay for that message. The
wire was sent this afternoon and old
John Hargesty will probably have
money by this evening He claims
that his daughters have plenty of
coin, and he knows they will wire
him money as soon as they learn OF
his unfortunate condition.

TURNING. OUT
The BEST WORK

The bindery of the Bonanza is
turning out the best work in the
city, and it is giving such great salts
faction that anyone who has his work
done there once, never goes anywhere
else. The plant is the finest and
most complete, not only in the State,
but this side of San Francisco. We
can turn out all kinds of work that
is demanded in the offices of lawyers,
brokers, promoters, mining compan-
les, or for any other kind of business,
and we guarantee satisfaction in
every respect. One trial will be suffi-
cient to establish the truth of this
statement. 1t pays to go where only
the best kind of work is done, and
it pays to patronize home industry.

LAND OFFICE RULES on
SECOND HOMESTEAD LAW

Washington, June 1.-THE general
land office with the approval of the
secretary Of the interior has issued a
circular to the local land ofnces and
the public generally relating to the
matter of allowance of second home
stead entries. The only general law
under which second homestead entries
may be allowed is that of April IS,
1904, which 10 only applicable to those
parties who made and lost, forfeited
or abandoned their entries prior to the
date of the act, because Of an honest
mistake as to the character Of the
hand or an unavoidable complication Of
personal or business affairs. Full in
structions are given in the circular as
to the proofs which must be submitted
by those who believe themselves en-
titled to second homestead entries.
The departments holds that 1t Is with
out authority to allow second entries
to those who forfeited their entries
subsequent to April IS, 1904. or to
allow second homestead entries in any
case where q valid original entry was
made in the absence of legislation ex-
pressly authorizing second homestead
entries.

In the proposed bakery will be in
stalled an oven with capacity for
baking 400 loaves of bread at one
time, which is nearly double the ca
pacity of the present oven The daily
consumption of bread at the prison
is approximately 1000 loaves Among
other improvements in contemplation
by Warden Cleghorn and the board of
commissioners are new floors for sew
eral of the buildings and the painting
of all the roofs. A lot of concrete
flooring was put in last year and has
been found to be SO satisfactory that
more of it will be brought into use.
One of the first Of the proposed i'm
provements will be the laying of a
concrete floor in the dining hall on
account of its greater cleanliness. Be-
fore this can be done, however. a large
conduit in which will be laid all of
the steam pipes, air pipes, electric
light wires. telephone wires, etc, will
have to be put in. 1t will also do duty
as a drainage pipe in carrying on the

GETS INTO JAIL FOR
STEALING FROM PASSENGERS

For stealing various articles from
passengers on west-bound Denver &
Rio Grande train, No. 3. during its
passage through this county the pre-
vious night, two strangers. who gave
their names as George N. O'Eeil and
Fred Ramelow. were brought here Fri
day afternoon from Salida and taken
before Justice Kennedy for a prelimi-
nary hearing.
O'Neil entered a plea of guilty to re-
ceiving stolen goods and was sentenced
to q term OF sixty days in the county
jail. Ramelow, who seems to have
been the real offender, waived exami-
nation on the charge OF grand larceny
and was held to the district court in
the sum OF $1,000. In default OF bail
he was committed to jail pending his
trial before Judge Bailey
On the train between Portland and
Florence a pair of shoes was stolen
from one of the passengers by Rame-
low and given to O'Neil, who took on
the pair he was wearing and threw
them out of the window. Subsequently
he managed to fake a hat, which was
also turned over to o'Neil. who ap-
pears to have been in pretty hard luck.
Somewhere In the vicinity of Texas
Creek n purse containing $4.S4 and a
railroad ticket to Chico. Cal, was
stolen from a woman by the name of
Mrs. Matte Evans by Ramelow. and a
little later on a suit case from one OF
the masculine passengers. The thefts
were reported to the conductor and
both men were taken into custody on
the arrival of the train at Salida and
held there until the following morn
ing, when they were brought here by
a special agent OF the railroad COM
pany and turned over to Assistant Dis
trict Attorney James A. Stump and
Sheriff Esser.
