The King, Kelly and Schumann
group known as the Anaconda Min
ing company at lone, have recently
made what is said to be one OF the
largest free gold strikes in the his
tory of Nevada. Blanket veins, av-
eraging from 2 to 10 feet in width
have been opened up for 20 or 80
feet, carrying free gold values from
s64 to 500 per ton. In some in
stances, values from $500 to 500
are found for several feet. Many
specimens are found that are over
one-half gold.

J.R. Benton, who is interested with
C E. Kennedy in a large number of
claims in the Kennedy district, is
srending a few days in Winnemucca.
He states that Mr.. Kennedy is work
ing on their Fourth of July mine and
that very rich ore is being extracted
In the lower tunnel, 200 feet in, an
upraise was made to the upper ton-
mel a distance of so feet. Besides
opening up the Slopes it gives good
air in the workings. At the present
! time ore is being broken down that
runs close to $500 to. the ton and
another shipment from this property
WILL be made before long
A sack of ore has been received at
1.-The Winnemucca Star Office yester-
day from Thomas Melody, one of the
owners of the Cottontail mine in the
New Goldfield district. The rock was
taken from workings on the properly
at considerable depth from the sur
face. Work has been going on stead
lily on the Cottontail and in the low
est workings is where the ore sent in
yesterday was struck. The ledge is
large and the ore is of shipping grade.
Not only does the rich stuff pan many
colors, but specks of yellow metal can
be seen all through the rock. The
New Goldfields district, where the
Cottontail is situated, is fast grow
ling into one of the live camps of the
state and is one of the places that
will make good, as they have the ore
there In a quiet way number OF
companies and individuals are devel-
leping their properties and many of
them are at the paying stage. While
tine baser metals are found through
Tout the district, free gold is the pre-
dominating metal in most of the
claims in the district.

PartridgeS Plentiful.

Reports received at the office of
the commissioner on inland fisheries
and game at the State House show
that a notable feature of this years
hunting season in the Maine woods
has been the abundance of part
ridges. Practically all of the hunters
who have come out of the woods
testify to the fact that these birds are
more plentiful everywhere than they
have been before. Nearly every man
who passes through with his deer,
also has Is partrldges, the number
one person is allowed by law.
There are different theories to ac-
count for the large number of part
ridges, and the principal one is the
lack of deep snow in winter and the
fact that the birds had a good early
spring for Matching out. A we'll
known eastern Maine guide claims
that the hedgehog law passed by the
legislature four years ago and repeal
ed last season had the indirect effect
of giving the partridges a chance to
multiply.
The law authorized the payment OF
bounty on hedgehogs, and while it
was in force resulted in killing off the
porcupine almost to the point of ex
tinction. The man says the hedge
hogs eat the eggs of the cartridges.

The attractions at Keith's Theatre
of late have been of such a character
and have attracted such widespread

to keep up TO the standard that has

bother Mr.. Keith. After having in

Obituary.

Cyrus T. Briggs, Esq. of Carrying
Place Pl. departed this lite at his
home in that township on Sunday the
4th inst. aged about so years. He
had been in poor health and not able
to attend to any business or labor
during all the past season, but had
not been confined to his bed, and the
end came quite suddenly at last al
though it was not entirely unlocked
for by his family and friends.
MIR. Briggs was son of the late
George and Abigail (Williams) Briggs
and had always resided on the home
place, being engaged during most of
his life in the business of farming and
numbering. He was a man of excel
lent character and sterling worth,
and was respected by all who knew
him. He was prominent in all the
affairs of the township and vicinity
in which he resided. having in years
past held the Office of Justice OF the
Peace, and also the various planta-
ton Offices. He was married on the
Both OF Nov. 1879 to Miss Lornda F.
Later of Pleasant Ridge Pl., and to
them were born four children, one
son, Mr.. John w. Briggs, and three
daughters, Mrs. Nina A. Vittum, and
Misses Ivie and Stella Briggs, all of
whom survive him. He is also sur
vived by one brother, Mr.. Charles S.
Briggs OF Skowhegan and by num-
Der of nephews and nieces.
The funeral services were held at
his former place of residence on the
9TH inst, and were very fully attend
ed, many coming from long distance
to nav the last sad tribute OF respect
to one whom they had always respect
ed as friend and brother. Rev. G..
@. Beedy of Bingham conducted the
religious services, and spoke words of
comfort to the mourning friends, and
r. V. Ham of Moscow, D. q. Bean of
Bingham, +. o. Vittum of Concord
and David Pooler Of Carrying Place
were pail bearers. The interment
was in the family lot in the Hume
we'll cemetery in Pleasant Ridge Pl.
The bereaved family and friends have
the sincere sympathy of the whole
community in their sad affection.

WORLD MARCH
SAYS AMERICAN STOMACH SURELY
is DEGENERATE
Weener Who Secured Big Following in Brooklyn is Now in
New York Meeting the Public

/. It. Cooper, the young man who
has created such a sensation in
Rrooklyn with his new theory re-
carding the human stomach, is now
IN New York explaining his ideas to
the public.
cooper says that ninety per cent of
all iii health is due to stomach
trouble, and claims to prove this with
his medicine. In speaking of his
theory during an interview Thursday
afternoon he said: "Practically all
the chronic i'll health OF this genera
tiop is caused by abnormal stomach
conditions. In earlier days, when
the human race was closer to nature
and men and women worked out Of
doors all day, the tired, droopy, half
sick people that are now so common
did not exist. There was sickness,
but it was only temporary. There
was little of this constant half-sick
condition with which SO many are
afflicted.

wild tribes of Africa, or in uncivilized
people in any quarter of the globe,
YOU see no general debility, no nerve
exhaustion. They are not shut up all
day and they do not stuff themselves
with food when their bodies have not
had enough exercise to justify it.

A Maine Inventors Flying
Machine.

Alexander V. Wilson, veteran
parachute jumper, baloonist and in
ventor, has completed an aeroplane
upon which he has been at work for
seven years, and will ship it this week
to West Chester, N. Y, and show it
under the auspices of the Aeronautic
Club of America. Mr. Wilson claims
that his machine combines all that is
essential In the Wright brothers.
aeroplane, but is more practical, as it
requires no impetus to start, but will
rise directly from the ground.
The characteristic features of the
Wilson machine are that 1t has no re-
volving propeller of any kind, but is
driven by wings with an outward and
downward stroke like that of a bird.
What Mr.. Wilson considers to be the
most valuable feature is the automat
ic equilibrium device by which he
claims the machine may be perfectly
controlled by the operator by means
of levers.
The machine is 36 feet oyer all from
tip to tip of the wings, which are
made of oiled canvas and driven by
two independent 24-horsepower mo-
tors with hand levers, 80 that if both
motors are disabled the machine may
be brought to earth in safety The
outfit weighs complete about 500
pounds and will carry two men.
Mr.. Wilson claims that his machine
will do everything that the Wright
aeroplane does, and much more, as
be believes that he has perfected the
controlling device to practical
point.
He has studied aerial navigation all
his life. He claims to be the pioneer
parachute jumper of the country and
made bis first Jump from River street
bridge in Cambridgeport 40 years ago,
using family umbrella strengthened
by wires. He gradually developed
the parachute and has made over
1000 ascents and drops without an &C =
cident, perfecting the parachute as
now used all over the world.
In 1873, while dropping some hand
bills from his balloon he conceived
the idea of the aeroplane and later he
made models which he released from
his balloons. Eight years ago he
abandoned the propeller driven plan
and has since been experimenting
with the wing motion. He is a deep
student OF the theory of air and wind
resistance and works on scientific
principles, as we'll as the study of the
flights OF birds.
He is q member of the New Eng
land Aero Club and the Aero Club of
America. He has visited all the club
shows and acted as assistant to many
other inventors, particularly in the
experiments with the Baldwin dirig-
able balloon. He lives on farm
several miles from Bar Harhor. His
machine has as yet had no practical
test, but he is satisfied that it will
work perfectly.

Federated Clubs at Portland.

Mrs. B. F. Eaton, Mrs. R. E. Jack
son, Miss Gertrude Weston, Miss
Louise Coburn and Miss Hannah r.
Page have been in Portland this week
at the seventeenth annual meeting of
the Maine Federation of Women's
Clubs. The first event of the meet
ing was a reception rendered the
visiting delegates on Tuesday after
noon at the home of Mrs. George c.
Frye. Mrs. Frye is spoken of as the
founder of the Maine Federation and
it seems to be generally understood
that clubs of the various Maine towns
and cities were brought together in a
state federation largely through her
efforts.
This reception with Mrs. Frye, who
was the first secretary as well as the
founder of the Federation, may well
recall the fact that Maine was the
first state to form an alliance Of
women's clubs. The first meeting
was held in Portland on September 2,
1892. Mrs. e. E. Osgood of that city
was the first Federation president.
There were nineteen clubs who Join
cd as charter members. At present
there are lis clubs with an aggregate
mem bership of more than 5000. The
largest club in the state is the
Women's Literary Union of Portland
which has membership of 800.
