nouncement made after official tests to-
day.
1t is said that the German Govern
ment has absolutely prohibited the
inventor from demonstrating his ex-
plosive and has ordered that its COM
position forever remain secret.
An idea of the power of Maxim's
latest addition to the man-and.prop-
erty-destroyers of the world may be
gained by Maxim's W statement.
He said that an anarchist could carry
a tiny capsule in his vest pocket. could
flip it into a crowd Of royalty and
thereby blow the entire party and him
self into eternity.

FNEM YORKS HORSE SHOWN

the public the best specimens Of I'll.
most every breed Of horses known In
this country. Horses are sent from oil
parts Of the United States and from
many parts Of the world to appear In
competition at the New York show.
More than fifty blooded horses were
entered in this years exhibit from
Canada alone, and several famous
equine aristocrats were entered from
England and the continent.
This years show illustrates that
horseback riding Is rapidly increasing
In popularity. More saddle horses
were entered than ever known before,
and the increase proved chiefly notice
able as regards women's saddle horses.
Also the patrons Of the strictly thor
oughbred show horse Of practically
every description are multiplying, an
encouraging sign from the breeders
viewpoint. Whether or not the aboli-
ton Of thoroughbred racing In b east
has caused sporty people to center
their attention on show horses Is q
moot question.
Over a million dollars worth OF
horsefiesh is annually put on show
at the New York exhibit. The car
riages and other paraphernalia total
over a quarter Of a million. The gowns
worn by the society women represent
almost n quarter Of a million dollars,
and the value Of the jewels adjoining
the pretty persons of the society wo-
men seen In the boxes Is estimated by
a prominent jewel specialist to be
more than a million dollars. SO II Is
seen that King Horse Is paid homage
that would do honor to a Napoleon or
an Alexander.
The New York horse show Is a ter
rife, a fatal lure TO the socially am
bilious. The number Of men and wo-
men who have spent fortunes TO shine
at Madison Square Garden during
"horse show week" and who have had
their hearts broken through their fall

BILE .powers that be" would amaze the
public were II to become known.
There was a New York broker a few
years ago who made a moderate for
tune. and he and his wife decided to
! break into society by way Of the horse
show. He spent 100000. part Of u
borrowed money, on horses, rigs af
other accouterments. Then his be
kerage firm went to pieces when is
capital was thus squandered. and while
he vas going through a rcceivership
his wife went to work on the stage at
$35 a week. This man had formerly
paid his press agent. who CAV photos
Of his horses, stories. etc. to the news
papers. more than the amount his wife
was rorccd to earn to keep the family
In food and clothing. All In all. was
th.k not a big price for a man to pay
to learn that the Astors. the Wander
bilts and the Goulds and their friends
did not want to increase their number
Of friends, that society was so well
pleased with itself that 1t just giggied
ft to kill itself when It read In the
yellow journals that Broker X. had
lost all his own money and his wife's,

These figures n based on actual realizations of expectations
when the project s in an advanced stage of development, but every
rational person knows that the true value Of a mining property can
not be ascertained before a certain amount of development work has
been done, and precisely because of that fact you can now buy an in
terest in the Secret Canyon Tunnel & Development Co. for a small
amount of money that will bring You a lifetime income when the
enterprise is on a paying basis.
Although the surface indications and the past productions of
the district in which our property is located warrant the foregoing
statements. we cannot guarantee that our expectations will be
realized, but we do guarantee that every dollar you invest in this
enterprise will be honestly and judiciously expended to the very
best advantage of the company, and that you will always get a
square deal and a fair run for your money.

1t is the intention of this Company to continue the tunnel and
cut these veins as soon as possible, and with this end in view q
contract for the continuation of the tunnel has been let and the
property has been equipped with the necessary tools and supplies
and work has commenced driving the tunnel ahead as fast as men
and money can do it.

Equipments

The present equipments of the mine consist OF ore cars, track
rails, blacksmith tools, and a lot of small mining tools, such as are
necessary in doing mining work. Also some cabins for Winter
quarters for the miners have been built As soon as the veins are
encountered, it is the intention of the Company to erect a power
plant and carry on the work of developing and extracting the ore
on as large a scale as the property justifes.

Development Work

There being two rich veins or pay streaks," as miners call them
within this great vein which traverses the Wolverine group, it was
the intention of the owners to develop this property through a
tunnel which they started on the tunnel site and which, when COM
pleted for a distance of about 600 feet, would cut the first of these
rich veins or "pay streaks" at a depth of about 500 feet, and it
would cut the second at a distance of about 200 feet further, max
ing the tunnel distance of 800 feet long. They drove this tunnel
a distance of 400 feet when financial reverses, owing to the panic of
'93, which closed all shelters in the Eureka district, as already ex-

Transportation Facilities

The Wolverine group is located about one and one-fourth miles
from the nearest railroad spur on the Eureka & Palsade Railroad,
and the freight charges from that point to the nearest shelters,
which are at Salt Lake City, Utah, ranges from $3.50 per ton, ac-
cording to the grade of the ore and its value.
The freight rates re based on a sliding scale, the higher the
value of the ore, the higher is the charge for transportation.

Title To The Property

The Secret Canyon Tunnel e. Development Co. owns the Wolverine
group through deed from Mr.. c. L. Broy, ct. al, who were the original
locators. The deeds were turned over to the Company upon pay
ment of 100000 shares, or so per cent of its capital stock.
The title consists of location certificates properly filed with the
County Clerk and Recorder of Eureka County. All work necessary
to validate such title has been done and all legal requirements have
been compiled with. Application for a United States patent will
be filed as soon as we can make the necessary surveys.
