a brief illness. at the age OF forty'seven
yearR. Countess de Pourtales, his
wife. died in Los Angeles two years
aso- Her remains were taken to Ger
many for burial.
Csns,nt dc Pourtales, who was q man
of ereat wealth, first visited Colorado
Sprinss in 1887, stopping here while en-
route to the Pacific coast. He Intended
TO efay but a few days but prolonged
his Wait TO several weeks. This event.
,tally meant much to Colorado Springs
and this region because Count de Four
tales decided to locate here perm
TInga few months he acquired the
nuv noted suburb Of Broadmoor and
built the casino. at a time when Colo
RADIO Springs had only 10000 inhabi'
tants. Soon afterward he founded the
Cheyenne Mountain Country CLUB, now
the most exclusive social orsan'ha''on
in Colorado Springs.
About tbs time Cripple Creek was
discovered by bob" Womack and. al
thoueh many sco1ed at the new camp,
Cont de Pourtales was confident that
4. II had a great future and bought
smaI1 hole in the ground, then known
as the Buena Vista claim. which after-
ward developed into the famous lsa.
bella mine. Strangely enough, Count
de Pourtales never realized mucn from
reason that his interests in Germany
called him to that country at the height
OF the mining boom. He sold his min
ing property content to know that his
Judgment had not been at fauit. anu
sailed for his estate at Glumbowitz.

work was spent in relieving the conoi'

BRIEFS IN HORSE
DOCTOR CASE
The Law Requiring Licenses
in Order to Practise Is
Attacked.

Briefs were fled yesterday in the
Supreme Court in the case of the Ter
ritory VS.. J. H. Pottie, for praeticing
veterinary surgery without license.
The brief in behalf of Pottie was filed
by Frank Thompson. 1t maintains that
the act requiring a license is illegal
and invalid IN that it is not general,
but discriminates; it requires a license
to practice veterinary surgery in Homo
lulu. but nowhere else. Also in that it
provides that licenses to practice the
art shall be issued by the Treasurer of
the Territory to the three veterinar-
ians composing the examining board
without any examination of them; but
all others must be examined.
The reply brief of the Territory is
said to make a very strong presenta-
ton of the reasons why the act should
be held valid and legal.

PROBLEMS Of
INHERITANCE TAX
Puzzles in the Life Interests
Presented by Ena
Estate.

] Some fine questions In inheritance tax.
present values of estates, and expect
ancy of life will have to be solved in
the settlement of the John Ena estate.
| The executors of the will fled their
| final accounts, which were yesterday
/ approved on their fling supplemental
account of distribution and paying the
inheritance tax.
The executors charge themselves with
receipts or $54, 134.59 on account of
capital account of the estate, and ask
to be allowed $53, 1883 for payments
made on the same account. They have
received on income account 12,752.5
The net value of the estate now in the
hands of the trustees is somewhere in
the neighborhood of 100000.
The will gives the entire estate to
Father Valentine and the Hawaiian
Trust Company, as trustees, to pay the
net income over to the widow and the
children in certain proportions, until
the death of the last survivor of them,
when the property is to be distributed.
The widow elected to take her dover
under the statute instead of the pro-
vision made for her in the viii. She
therefore takes the widows portion of
the personal property absolutely, and a
third interest in the real estate during
her life. Some of the problems that
arise on the inheritance tax PROPOSE
tion are these:
What is the present value of the
widow s interest in her share of the
real estate based on her expectancy of
lifes
What is the present value Of the es-
tate based or the expectancy of life
OF the last survivor of the ehildrens
But the latter problem is complicated
by the fact that after the death of the
widow, assuming that she dies before
the last survivor of the children, the
children and the heirs of such of them
as may die in the meanwhile, will be
entitled to the income of the whole es-
tate, instead of the income of only
two-t thirds of it, which they will be en-
titled to during the life of their
mother.
Attorney Fen enwav and the
attorneys for the trustees, Kinney &
Marx, are wrestling with the problem.
If they can agree, they will present
their agreement to the court. If they
cannot agree, they viii present their
disagreement to the court.

The published statement that the
case against Eugene DuvaucheIle for
accepting brides as police officer had
not been tried, though brought months
ago, led to inquiry by the Attorney
General who found that it had been
nol-prossed last December by County
Attorney Cathcart. Attorney General
Hemenway says he will make inquir-
les as to why it was nollied. though he
has no reason to suppose it was done
for insufficient or invalid reasons.

BURNS ARRIVES
 TO MEET ROCHE
CHAMPION HAS BAD EYE BUT IS
 CONFIDENT NEVERTHELESS OF
 WINNING OVER GAME IRISH
 MAN-BoUT TOMORROW.

Dublin, March 15.-Tommy Burns. the American pugiist, arrived here today for his fight on March r, when he will de- fend the title of heavy weight champion of the world against Jem Roche, the Irish champion.
 Burns Is still suffering from an in- famed eye, the result of an accident q few days ago, the outcome of which at one time threatened to be serious but he has definitely decided to go on with the contest, as otherwise he is in better con dition than he has ever been, according to his own statement and that of his traln- CTS.
 Some of the friends of Roche believe that he has a splendid chance to defeat Burns, but careful observers of the game regard the American as a sure winner, and he himself displays the utmost con fidence in his ability to turn the trick.
 The Irish champion has never met Gunner Moir or Jack Palmer, both of whom Burns has defeated, so it is diff ficult from his record to form any ade- quate idea of how he compares with Burns.

Mineral Deposits Affect Population.


 Prof. A. c. Keller. in Harpers Magazine for March.
 The history of American mining towns presents many examples of the determin- ing effect of mineral deposits Butte. Mont, is city of 62,O GOO inhab sup ported by copper underlying about one square mile of land surface. The metal forms the sole raison d'etre of this con siderable settlement, for in other respects the region is unproductive and unat- tractive; without the mines the locality would support with difficulty a population of 100 souls. The mineral deposits of Ne vada occur beneath strips of land a few hundred feet in width and in the midst of 3. hopeless desert but they have formed plausible pretext for adding a state to the union and two senators to Congress- The decline of the lodes has now reduced Vir- ginia City to population of 2500, as against 11.OO0 in 18S0 when it was one of the busiest cities in America, in the midst Of superlatively "booming'-a figure somewhat under that for 1870; thus this state. with an area twice that of New England has less population than Water bury, Conn. Through the existence of mineral products in close proximity, Pitts burg has become the emporium for coal petroleum and iron. It's case differs how ever, from the above, for its development was far less artificial, and it's destiny could never be that of the regions already mentioned. Three navigable rivers con verge at this point; valleys sunk in a plateau provide natural routes for ap- preaching railways. Natural and unnat- ural access, it may be added, are con- trasted at Pittsburg by the fact that one railroad has recently been forced to ex- pend $S5,0OO.00O to effect an entrance to the city by overcoming minor geograph- ic obstacle.

VANDERBILT'S FINE HORSE
HEARST SPORTING sERvIcE0

New York March 15-The showing made by Frank Gotch in his recent match with Joe Rogers was distinct disap- pointment, and there seems to be very little doubt that he will fall an easy vic tim to the redoubtable Russian Lion" when they meet in Chicago for the world s championship match. When Hacken- schmidt met Rogers in London he threw him two falls with ridiculous ease O'Rourke's "Adonis.' with his immense size, was a child in the grasp of the Russian champion. It is the well-nigh universal consensus among mat experts who saw that match that the two falls could have been secured in half the time they were, had Hackenschmidt so de- sired.
 While it was a pretty ambitious un- dertaking to throw so heavy a man with any knowledge whatever of wrestling as Rogers, five times within an hour, the showing made by Gotch was distinctly disappointing, and did not compare at all favorably with the work of the Russian Lion." Judging by the two performances, Hackenschmidt seems to be in no danger of losing the championship during his present visit to the United States.
