Henry Clay and Lew Wallace.

\ really remarkable description of the
appearance of Henry Clay is given by
Lew Wallace in his Autobiography
Wallace was a young man when he saw
Clay, but the impression that the great
orator made remained vivid and in
eradicable:
Mr.. Clay was of a personality once
seen never to be forgotten. Tall slender,
graceful he had besides the air majestic
which kings affect, imagining it exclus-
i've property. Yet he was not a hand
some man. The largeness of his lower
features was a serious detraction His
forehead was retreating; the skull mar
rowed in its rise TO the crown; his ears
were LOBBY, his eyes heavily overshaded.
his cheek-bones of almost aboriginal
prominence.
Throughout Mr.. Clays. performance
my eyes scarcely left his countenance.
which, as he proceeded, sank from sight
until, by the familiar optical illusion,
nothing of 1t remained but the mouth.
and that kept charging and widening
until it seemed an elastic link holding
the e2rs together. Indeed, at this late
writing, iay one distinct recollection Of
the man and his speech is the mouth
and its caparity for infinite distSnton."

F. D. White Charged with Killing Angelo
Turzl at Mt. Holly

F. u. White, a section hand employed
10y the Rutland railroad at Mt. Holly,
was arrested Saturday on the charge of
killing Angelo TURF, the young Austrian
who has been missing since Sept. Is, and
whose dccomposcd body was found Fri
day in some bushes near Mt Holly.
An autopsy was conducted by Or b.
H. stone of Burlington, hut the result
was not disclosed by states Attorney
r. a. Lawrence who has the case In
charge.
TulH left Mt Holly on Sept Is in
company with White and the two men
were seen together at several places along
the road White had ocen seen near
the place where Turzi's body was found.
When White returned to Mt Holly he
told several persons that he left Turzi
on the road too drunk to walk but
when the two men were seen along the
road neither appeared to be intoxicated.
1t is known that TURF was paid 500
on the day Of his disappearance. When
the body was discovered a IS bin was
found in a side compartment of the
mans pocRctbook. and it is thought that
this was overlooked when the pockets
were rihcd.

High up among the peaks Of the Front
Range of the Rocky Mountains I'm Colo
RADIO, more than 10000 feet above the
sea, in a terraccd basin at the very head
Of the great Arkansas river. stands the
city Of LeadVille, covering with its
rectangular system of streets and con-
tiguous smelling works an area OF over
800 acres. on the hillslopos back OF the
city are the mines, which since 1860 have
year by year added immense amounts
to the worlds metallic wealth In the
early eighties II was estimated that this
districts annual product Of silver
alone exceeded that OF any silver produ-
cling country in the world except Mexico
while its lead product nearly cQualed that
OF England and was surpassed only by
that Of Spain and that of Germany-all
mined from an area not over a square
mile in extent. Today-more than 20
years latcr-the LeadVille district Is still
marvel in its metallic production. In
1906 its mineral product, ovcrpassing all
its own previous records as well as those
of every other mining district in Colo
RADIO, amounted to nearly a million tons
of ore Zinc, silver, lead, gold and
copper, in the order named, to the value
OF over $l5, 600 90, were dug from these
treasure holding hills, whose store of
mineral wealth is still apparently mex
haustibe 1t Is a notable fact that zinc
once despised by the miners, now leads
in value.
The history Of the discovery and devel-
opment Of the Leadvine ores has been
told many times but its interest justifies
brief statement. Gold was discovered
in California Gulch, April &c, 1860, and the
news spread with amazing rapidly, not
withstanding the difficulties of communi-
cation in this wild and inaccessible re-
gion. In three months over 10000 per-
sons were in camp and it is said that over
S2OvO,0O0 were taken out during the first
summer. The climax was soon reached
however, and within three or four years
the population was counted by hundreds
instead Of thousands. In 1874 the now
famous carbonate deposits were discov-
pred. The first smelling furnace was
erected in 1877. and the subsequent
growth of the city has kept pace with
the development Of the region. The most
notable recent undertaking in the dis
trict is the wonderful Yak tunnel, proba-
bly, the greatest mining enterprise in the
United States. The works already COM
prise a main tunnel from which extend
miles of laterals, provided with electric
lights and telephones and equipped to
handle thousands of tons of ore a day.
