RICH ORE
Is Being Shown by Gawthrop
Who is Here from
Idaho.

]. c. GawthFnp, who arrived here
q day or 50 ago from Idaho. where
be Is identified with large, mining in
terests, has an Interesting display a.
ore samples at the Heayener hotel
Lately he became associated with
the FL Ore mine people, whose mine
is located twelve miles out OF At
lanta. Idaho. It is in a high state
OF development. every foot being IL
ore. The ledge is large and the ore
free milling to a depth Of 200 feet.
at that depth very rich sulphides oc,
cur that will concentrate to a yalna
of $1,000 per ton. The ore now ex-
posed. about 10000 tons, is free
milling giving saving OF so per
cent. on plates and runs from SIS to
$3.50 per ton ON a ledge averaging
four feet in width. The reports Of
inspectors and experts and the state
ments Of State Mining Inspector Rob
ert Bell, are adj very hattering for
this property, and 1t is confidently
expected that 1t viii be made a big
paying property.
The several assays carried by Mr.
Gawthrep show the gold and silver
product to range In valuS from SIS
to $3.50 "a ton and the samples have
rich appearances.
Mr.. Gawthrop has been engeged by
the president OF the company to dis
pose of 100000 shares of stock at
25 cents share and he carries his
credentials with him.
After remaining here few days
to give the people of ClarlSsburg an
opportunity to invest in this splendid
proposition, he will go East, where
he expects to have ready sale OF
the remainder OF the stock.
The Telegram has always been the
friend of Mr.. Gawthrop. It Is a
friend of any one of energy and activ-
ity and ever ready to encourage an
enterprise Of any kind that builds
up, and induces capital into the coun-
try. A gentleman from the lower end
of the county has just informed this
paper that Mr.. Gawthrop was the
first man to chance the gas field in
Taylor county. which is owned now
by Col. John T. McGraw. Gawthrop
leased several thousand acres of land
in that belt, located a well and tap
ped the gas. There being no market
at that time and by getting mixed
up in a big corporation, he let the
field go to tho Standard, yet claim
ing it to be valuable territory.
Mr.. Gawthrop's every aim has
pointed to successful millions and
knowing him of the past, the Tele-
gram is confident that his adventures
in gold mining in the West are as well
founded as his ideas were here.
Mr.. Gawthrop always refused to
take up anything without merit, and
this paper has the confidence to be-
lieve that he has not deviated from
Tie original iirmness. sc :

TOM LONGBOAT DEFEATS
 DORANDO IN MARATHON

New York, December 15.-As on that memorable occasion of his first Olympiad, Dorando Pietri collapsed within sight of the goal tonight, and Tom Longboat, the Indian runner, who had been led by a yard or more nearly all the day, won the Marathon race at Madison Square Garden.
 The race was hard fought from start to finish and kept the thousands of specta- tors in wild excitement At 20 miles Dorando was leading by two yards. A moment before Longboat had made re- markable spurt and put himself on an even footing with the little Italian. Do- rando immediately regained first position and the men were fighting it out in the 26th mile with Dorando in th< lead, but yisibly weaker. The chances of Long boat appeared to improve in the second and third laps. In the fourth lap, while the crowd was crying itself hoarse, both men slackened perceptibly. Then sudden ly Dorando staggered and dropped Long distance of 26 miles 3S5 yards was 2 hours 45 minutes 5 2-5 seconds.
 The time was 35 2-5 seconds slower than the mark established by Dorando when he defeated Hayes over the same track three weeks ago. It was a gruelling race for 251a miles, with the Italian gen. erally in the lead, but occasionally over hauled by a wonderful spurt on the part of the Indian.
 The men started away at a brisk clip.
