The MINES.

the camp the past week, stopping
off here on their way to Durango,
Mexico, where they have mining
interests. Both the gentlemen
are interested in the Sunbnrst
NJ. Co. and after mrking an ex-
animation of its properties, ex-
pressed themselves well pleased
with the company's progress and
holdings.
The following mines have ore
ready for shipment: Mason hive
cars zinc and car of lead; Myrtle,
two. cars zinc; Hannibal d st.
Joe company, car lead; Mission,
five cars zinc; Lancaster, two
cars zinc; Hawkeye, onecar zinc;
Common Law, one car zinc; 3F
M. & M. Co., one car zinc; Good
Luck, one car zinc; which If
marketed last week would have
made a high record of production
for the camp since it started.
The amount of ore reported
shipped last week amounted to
S12, $1,000, which does not in
clude a car of lead shipped by the
Hawkeye Mining Co., loaded
Saturday. The mines in the
shipping list were: Lancaster
five cars zinc; Mission, one Car
Iced, one car zinc; Hannibal d
st. Joe company, one car zinc;
3F NJ. & M. Co., one car zinc;
Joanna, part car lead; Virginia
one car zinc; Micawber, one car
zinc.
1t is certainly most gratifying
to all interested in our new field
to see so many properties running
at a profit, even at the present
prices for ore, which shows that
ore can be produced in this camp
at as low a cost as anywhere In
the United States. This fact
should be a most attractive tea'
ture to parties entering into the
mining of lead and zinc in thu
southwestern district, as the
cheaper you can produce the con-
eentrates per ton, the larger will
be your profit per ton produced
And this is the all absorbing
item in entering and prosecuting
any kind of business.
The Luther Mining Co. has
started its shaft on its twenty
acre lease just north of Lancaster
NJ. Co. The latter company is
producing seven and eight tons
per day and is cutting towards
the Luther lease, where very
rich ore is showing in all tht
drifts. A holster house and
blacksmith shop have been built
and a steam boiler. Holster and
pump have been installed and
the shaft sunk about 20 feet.
This lease has been drilled with
ten holes, all of which show the
same rich bed of ore as the Ian
caster to the south, and TIT
Omaha mines to the north. Mr.
Hughes is here looking after the
work himself. The company is
composed of men from Oklahoma
City, Okla.
The Duluth Lead and ling Co.
has taken a forty acre lease from
the Baxter Mining Company, OF
the forty acre tract just west Of
the Casco Mining Co. lease
which joins the Virginia mine to
the west. This excellent lease
is located In what is destined to
be the center of the Quapaw-
Miami lead and zinz field, The
drillings to the east have shown
a heavy bed of rich ore, as well
the prospecting to the south,
while joining it to the north the
drillings showed the ore from tht
1873 foot level down to 200 feet
at which depth the drilling
stopped. The only prospecting
that has eaualed this face of ore

that defective rail threw the train
from the track.

shore northbound- Suddenly the loco
motive lurched, heaved to the side and
then left the track Skidding along
the ties for several hundred yards It
swerved TO the right and rolled over
the bank. The baggage and express
cars followed. Three passenger coaches
left the rails, and although none of
the occupants was dangerously injured.
all were more or less seriously bruised.
Aid was Immediately dispatched from
Oakland and arrangements made to
convey the passengers back to this

wealthy woman's desire to lift her
place of respect in the eyes of the
world has traced its way across the
continent from New York to find it's
opportunity for fulhllment at the Pre-
sidio general hospital In San Fran
cisco. There. in one of the private
rooms, lies Cora Spencer who was Cora
Graham, a butterfly of the city's gayest
bohemia. Her neighbors are the SOL
diers of Uncle Sam. About her is the
calm, restful atmosphere of the reser-
vation.
In strong contrast to her present sur
roundings was the fy away world in
which she fitted in the days gone by.
She was the center of her little circle,
which included that strange brother

Plat Denies He Ever
Welded Mae Wood
Senator Toffers 10 Stand. but
Makes Decisive Answers on
All Material Points

NEW YORK, May 2o.-Physically
so weak that practically he had to be
carried in and out of the courtroom,
United States Senator Thomas c.
Platt was at times spirited witness
today when he appeared to testify IN
his own behalf in Mae c. Woods suit
for absolute divorce from him His
denial of all the charges brought by
Miss Wood in her suit was emphatic,
and when prodded too hard by the
plaintiffs counsel the aged senator
proved himself capable of vigorous
response. Miss Wood did not attend
the trial. The case for the defense
was marked by sharp attack on the
authenticity of the marriage certificate
which Miss Wood offered in evidence
This was followed by an effort 70 show
that letter. in which Senator Platt
Is said to have admitted his marriage
10 Miss Wood, was written over his
signature on a blank sheet OF paper 10
which he previously affixed his auto
graph on request of two women ap-
piicants for il while he was stopping
at the Hotel Arlington in this city
in 1906.
At the conclusion of the afternoon
session Justice O'Gorman announced
morrow's session, no matter how late
sitting of the court that might in
volye.
MET HER SEVEN YEARS AGO
In opening his testimony the senator
said he was nearly 10 years old. His
first wife died in 1901. He first met
Miss Wood in 1901.
do you remember asking her in the
month OF August, 1901, at the Oriental
hotel TO become your wife," 7 never
asked her It's false"
The senator Subscribed his rooms at
the Arlington hotel and said No. 15S

rooms and bath

vember, 1901, about marriage2" NO"
did you on Thursday. November 9,
ask her to marry you. the ceremony to
take place Saturday, and say you your
self would make all arrangements2 4
did not" replied the senator.
The senator denied emphatically that
he had given Miss Wood a photograph
OF himself on which he had written ito
my dear wife" Miss Wood had testi-
fed that she was sitting on PIatt's
knee while he wrote the words. Atfor-
ney Lebarbjer, Miss Woods counsel.
asked Platt il ne ever addressed Miss
Wood in endearing terms Platt said:
L may have foolishly done so some
times"
How many times did you see Miss
Wood at the Fifth Avenue hotel?''
asked Lebarbier.
Il could not say. I saw her there q
good many times
Did you call her Catty?7
LIKED HER-yERY MUCH
II called her Catty in my letters. I
was very much pleased with her and
liked her very much''
Did she call you by any pet name?'
Never in my life

that Miss Wood claimed 10 be his wife
