at an angle of about 80 degrees. This
hill is probably the richest in camp,
holding as 1t does the extremely Iich
Royal Tiger, Jack Pot, Bushwacker
and Sheep Trail veins, all Of which
are being energetically developed.
The geology OF the Silent Friend
group is strikingly similar to that OF
the proven properties, not only OF
this district, but OF the best camps OF
the state. The country rock Is fine
grained white, OF cream colored rhy-
olite greatly altered and fissured.
This alteration Is directly due to
a dacite dixie, which runs the
full length OF the claims, 5000 feet.
This dixie, which is about 40 feet
wide, can be traced for over mile
running nearly due north and south
and dipping to the west. 1t 10 so
greatly altered and silicified that the
original character of the rock is hard
to determine. Silicihcation becomes
more complete as the hanging wall Is
approached and 1t Is here the impor-
tant ore bodies occur. Along this

Gentlemen:--
In compliance with your request of
March 20, 1908, have examined your
property, the Silent Friend Nos. l, 2,
3 and A, lode claims. This, as you
know, was not my first introduction
to the property, having been on the
ground many times since July, 1907.
These claims contain, all told, about
rs acres and are In compact group,
about 5000 feet in length by 1900 feet
in width. They are now being sur
veyed for patent, which will definite
ly determine their area. They lie
right in the heart Of the Rawhide dis
trict, about 1900 feet south of the
Royal Tiger, Bushwacker, Wonder
King and Jack Pots, and adioin the
Rawhide Hills, Sheep Trail. Salmon

Masonic Banquet.

The Masons of the Rockville lodge gave
reception and banquet at the Town
Hal last Tuesday night in celebration of
the fifteenth anniversary of Montgomer y
Lodge, No. 1876, A. F. and A. M. 1t was
one of the most enjoyable occasions held in
Rockville for sometime, and a large num-
Der OF persons accepted the invitations ex-
tended to them. From 7:30 to $50 p. M.
a reception was held in the lodge room,
where the guests enjoyed themselves social
ly and were presented to Mr.. Clifford K.
Bergman, of the EUening Star of Washing
ton City, and Mr.. HenryS. Selden, OF Wash.
ington City, who were the honored guests
of the evening. At $50 the members and
invited guests adjourned to the Town Hall
for the banquet.
Mr.. James +. Allen, as POSTMASTER, called
the assemblage to order, and Rev. Thomas
j. Packard offered thanks to the Supreme
Architect for the bountiful repast. At the
table of honor were Mr.. James F. Allen,
POSTMASTER; Mr.. Clifford X. Bergman,
cartoonist Mr.. Henry s. Selden, monolo-
glst, and Dr. George E. Lewis, the present
Master of the lodge.
Mr.. Allen began his remarks with his
tory of the lodge. Fifteen years ago, he
said, through the efforts of Mr.. Samuel e.
Eastburn the present lodge Of MasOns was
organized with 80 members and it now
numbers 1902 members in good standing.
Mr. Clifford K. Bergman was then in
troduced Mr.. Bergman gave his very in
teresting chalk talk, with pictures in crayon
of different political subjects, showing the
change that few strokes of the crayon
would make. He first drew the head Of
James B. Hill, of New York, as the man
who wanted to be Vice. President, and with
two or three additional strokes changed the
face to be the present Vice-President. lie
also started with the face OF an infant, and
with the addition of lines and curves car
ried it through childhood to the old man
with pipe and skull.cap. Then drawing
picture of Teddy R., he said this needs
another as companion picture and drew the
Teddy bear. After drawing the bear, he
told the story of overhearing the remarks of
two men at a railroad station one day. They
were looking at cartoon in the Star and
one OF them remarked ats funny thing
that this man Bergman ever since the
President entertained Booker Washington
puts coon Ia his pictures.
Mr. Henry S. Selden was then introduc.
ed, and gave very entertaining hour Of
monologue in the dialect Of French, Ger
man, Italian, Hebrew, and the Bowery.
An orchestra furnished music througho out
the evening, and the banquet was prepared
by special caterer.
The committee having the affair 10 charge
was Messrs. Robert G.. Hilton, chairman,
Roger Shaw, w. r. Humphrey, Jr., Win
fred Beck, George L. Edmunds, George P.
Henderson and Wilson Ward.
The Masons of Rockville need to be con-
gratuatei on the successful manner 10
which the committee did its work.

Governor Proud Of New Law.

In speaking of the Corrupt Practices act
and its effect, Governor Crothers says:
81 tell You that it is the best law for the
whole State that has been placed on the
statute books in many year. 1t means
even more to the people than the Good
Roads law, and the fact that this was the
first election in Maryland for two years that
has been free from bribery and corruption
shows what it has done and will do. 1t
will purify politics in this State.
"rhe law is a good one now, but 1t can
be made better. We have not gotten right
down to the real basis yet. will favor
next year certain amendments to the law
which will make IL impossible to spend a
dollar which will even directly affect vote.
The law as 1t stands day makes ii impos-
sible to spend money directly to influence
votes, but IL should be so amended as to
make 1t impossible to spend a dollar that
will indirectly influence them"
The Governor pointed out one or two
loopholes in the law which give to the
richer candidate an advantage, and ex-
pressed himself as determined to do what
he could to secure amendments to the law
by the next Legislature which will make it
even more rigid than 1t is now.
"What we want to do" he said, sis to
eliminate money altogether In our elections.
Let every man stand on his merits and go
before the people on them. We want no
law that will give rich man better
chance than a poor man for any Office in
the gift of the people, and want to see the
law go amended next year as to make this
impossible in Maryland.

Aged Man Is Slain.

George Mason, "a years old, an inmate of
the Home for the Aged, at Blue Plains, D.
O., yesterday afternoon shot and killed Mar.
tin McCrossin, GA years old, another inmate
of the same institution. McCrossin fell to
the floor unconscious after the shot had
been fred, and was hurried to the Wash
ington Asylum Hospital, but he was beyond
medical relief, and died at 7:50 o'clock last
night.
Mason is locked up at the Fifth precinct
police station, charged with murder. He
says the shooting was accidental. Edward
CAN'T, 70 years old, the only witness to the
killing, says Mason drew a revolver from a
hip pocket, and, taking deliberate aim, fired .
The ball entered the body about three inches
above the heart.
Several statements have been made as to
the motive, but little credence is placed in
any Of these by the police. 1t is alleged
Mason fired the fatal shot in ct of anger,
and, as he stated in his cell in the Fifth pre-.
cinct police station last night, he hardly
knew what he was doing when he pulled
the revolver.
The shooting occurred about 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. McCrossln was in
charge of dormitory, in which slept TWEEN.
ty of the inmates. He was seated in rock
ing chair looking out Of window when Ma.
son entered the room. Mason went toward
his bed, and was in the act Of lying down
when McCrossin called to him and told him
not to go to sleep on the bed, as there is q
rule in the home forbldding the inmates to
use the beds in the daytime.
Mason, it is said, refused to comply with
McCrossin's order. He soon fell asleep, and
had been sleeping half an hour when Nc
Crossin walked over to the bed, and awaken.
ing Mason, demanded that he get up. CAN'T,
who had just entered the room, endeavored
to calm the two men.
Realizing that he would be reported for
disregarding the rules of the institution,
Mason arose from the bed, and, according
to information of the police, struck at Nc.
Crossin. McCrossin resented this, and a
fight followed, during which the fatal shot
was fired.
McCrossin was standing near the door
when Mason drew the revolver. The old
man attempted to dodge, but Mason was too
quick, and pulled the trigger
McCrossin fell to the floor with groan
CAN'T called to several attendants, who had
heard the shot, and these men rushed into
the room. Two of them took charge of
McCrossin, while another placed Mason IN.
der arrest
A wagon from the institution took the
wounded man to the Washington Asylum
Hospital, where physicians Immediately be
gan to probe for the bullet. He died with.
out regaining consciousness.
The two old men had been friends for
seven years, having entered the institution
about the same time. McCrossin was form.
erly Montgomery county, Md, farmer,
but circumstance had forced him to enter
the Home, where he first met Mason.
Mason, it was learned last night, was
formerly prosperous patent attorney of
this city. 1t is said that at one time he
handled number of celebrated cases.
