WIDOW OF II. A. w. TABOR PAYS

FORTUNE SMILES ON BRAVE
WOMAN AND HER oAUeh-
TER AT LAST.

Leadville. Colo.-Just ten minutes
before the mortgage on the Matchless
mining property was due Tuesday
morning. Mrs. Elizabeth Tabor widow
of the late Senator IL. A. w. Tabor,
satisfied the claims of George Douglas
of Chicago fer 1880, thereby regain
ing possession OF the mine which pro
duced a great part OF Senator Tabor's
millions.
Since Senator Tabor's death the
Matchless has been involved in much
litigation. When his vast fortune was
swep; away he managed TO save this
one property, but IL was encumbered
with Indebtedness OF about 100000.
which his widow had succeeded in re
ducing TO less than 5000. The mort
gage has been repeatedly transferred
from one creditor to another and until
Tuesday morning II seemed that Dou-
glas would have to foreclose and take
possession of the only piece OF prop
erty that stood between Mrs. Tabor
and poverty.
AT the last moment, through the aid
of friends in Denver. she was able TO
secure sufficient money to pay off the
claim of Douglas. one of the provisions
OF the loan being that her new creditors
should be given a lease on the Match
less. Mrs. Tabor agreed to these terms
and work on the property. which has
been idle for many years. Will be
started at once. Ever since Senator
Tabor died Mrs. Tabor and her daugh-
ter have becn living In a crude build
ing attached to the old shaft house on
the Matchless. stcadfastly refusing ad-
mittance to any person who sought en-
trance into the mine. Repeatedly she
has had offers for the property and
for leases on IL, any one ol, which
would have wiped away the debt and
given her snug fortune. but she
seems to have been determined TO pay
off the debts and retain possession
of the nina.
The Matchless is one of the Oldest
mines in the Leadville district and In
the early eighties was sold to Senator
Tabor as ''salted" prospect. hole.
When Senator Tabor discovered that
he had been swindlcd he sunk the
shaft a few feet deeper and struck the
rich ore body. Mrs. Tabor says that its
association with her husbands early
career is the reason for her desiring
TO hold the property AZ long as she
