and upward. Five years later, in 1901,
B. w. How became member of the
firm and the capital was increased to
$150,000. With this addition to the
firm and it's working capital the COM
pany extended it's fields and made
such gains that two years later the
Thomson-Glaskin company was alb
sorbed, the style Of the company
becoming the Kelley-HoW-Thom-
son company, and the capital
again increased this time to $500, 900.
In January, 1908, it moved into its
splendid new. building on fifth avenue
west, planned and erected to accom-
modate the business in the best pos
sible manner. At the annual meeting
Of the stockholders in July, 1905, it
was evident from the growth in the
volume Of. business that further in
crease in capital was advisable and
it was voted to increase the capital
stock to 100000. In the two years
following the business expanded to
such an extent and the prospects for
it's further growth were so great that
the working capital was once more
doubled, the last increase being made
last year.
The high reputation of the house
is built upon a solid foundation in the
splendid line of hardware it places
on the market under the "Hickory'
brand. The trade has learned that
any article with the 'sHickory" stamp
on it is dependable in every way, as
the greatest care is exercised in ap-
plying this brand only to products
that would stand up under any test
to which they might be- subjected.
This fact, in connection with the re-
duced prices that can be made by
reason Of the lowest freight rates on
account Of the lake haul and the elini-
nation Of one handling has created
a great and ever-increasing demand
for this brand.
The home of the Kelrey-HoW-Thom-
son company is in a fine seven-story
modern equipped building, in which
there, is every evidence Of we'll bal
anced and smoothly working system
for the proper housing, care and handl-
ing Of the stock. In office, factory
! warehouse and shipping rooms, every
thing moves along with clock-like pre-
cision and dispatch. Add to these
facts and conditions already alluded to
liberal, wise and efficient manage
ment, and the reasons for the re-
markable success and phenomenal
growth Of the Kelley Thomson
company are maifest.
The trade Of the house is extended
into all the territory between and in

to make their product as nearly per-
feet as human skill, ingenuity, enter

the very latest and most improved !
methods of manufacture make pos

market have long been recognized as
being synonymous with the best that

that can be produced under any cir

! A visit to this great establishment,
and an inspection of the process of
manufacture, will well repay any of
our citizens and the Messrs. Hoch will
| be pleased tohave their plant inspected
by any one interested in the most mod
ern and improved methods of manu-

| Naturally an immense establishment
| of this kind spends a large sum of
money annually and this money, dis
tri'buted weekly in the shape of wages,
| and for supplies and products entering
| into the manufacture Of beer and malt
exercises a strong influence on the
business Of the city. An enterprise
of this kind, which spends such large
sums of money in our city should re-
ceive the support and encouragement
of all classes.
Beer is recognized by doctors and
all who know the truth, as one of the.
most healthful of beverages, especially
where it is prepared with the skill
and care which marks all the products
of the Duluth Brewing and Mailing
company, and where none but the fin

its composition.
A modern brewing establishment is

we advise our citizens who have never

a visit to this one. It will be sur

The Taking of the Claim

FORE six o'clock that morning,
while Van was arousing the black
smith, the reservation madness
broke its bounds Twenty-fi five
hundred gold blinded men made the
rush for coveted grounds.
The night had been one long
revel of drinking, gambling, and
excitement No one had slept in
the reservation town, for no one
dared. Bawling. singing, and shout

rights and play to win this
claim belongs to me-and
everything else that's any
good. Now don't stop to talk.
Go to Lawrence for Govern
ment facts-and git a-going
pronto!"
GETTYSBURG was pulling
~ down his sleeves. Old age
had suddenly claimed him for
its own. The song had died
from his heart, and the light of
his wonderful youth and hope
departed from his eve. Dave
was too stunned to think. All
three felt the weight of con-
vEtion sink them into the
chilling mire. The survey of
the day before made doubt
impossible.
Gettysburg looked at the
boxes, the pits they had dug,
the water running over the riff
files, behind which lay the gold.
Il wish Van was to home" he
said; He'd know"
Their helplessness without
the absent Van was complete.
In the game of life they were
Just old boys who would never
become mature.

where every unit, instead OF
being one of an army, modified
against a common foe, was the
enemy of all the others lined
up beside him. There were
men on foot, men on horses,
mules, and burros, men in
wagons, buckboards, and bug
gies, as we'll as men in auto
mobiles.
At half-past five the pressure
of greed became too great to
bear. A few unruly stragglers
far down the line, no longer to
be held in check, bent portions
of the long formation inward
as they started out across the
land. The human stampede
began almost on the instant.
Keepers on their horses, riding
up and down, we're swept away
like chips before a flood Scat

plain, through gulches. swales,
and canons, the mad troop
entered on the unknown field,
racing as if for their lives

mine that the great wealth is supposed
to lie which this company controls.
For instance, a vein was cut at the
400-foot level which measured four feet
through, and was of the high grade
character for which this mine became
famous. At the $50 another crosscut
was run and the same vein cut. 1t had
merely grown somewhat wider. At the
900 level the same vein was crosscut
a third time, and had not diminished
in any material manner, either in size
or richness. How much deeper the
vein runs now remains to be discov-
cred, but that fully 500 feet of it are
in existence above the 900 level has
been proved.
In the adjoining property known as
the Newsboy, a very rich vein has also
been very recently discovered. This
vein is four feet through and of the
same general character and richness
of the Cerro Gordo vein, and is the
property of the Four Metals company.

SECURE
MALEPAI PROPERTY

A. S. Hickey of Venice, manager of
the Judge mines in Washington, has
succeeded in securing for eastern par
ties the Malepai mine in Yavapai
county, Arizona.
This mine shows five feet low grade
jasper quartz between regular I'M
broken walls of granite and porphyry
and has been opened by 450 feet of I'M
derground work. Accompanying the
low grade is a pay shoot averaging
two feet (which shows continuously in
all shafts drifts and surface openings.
1t is red hermatite, some of which is
very rich. The general average from
smelter and mill runs is S66 gold ton.
Mr.. Hickey yesterday left for the
mine to secure final data, when he will
go east to make a personal report to
his principals who have his previous
report checked by two engineers.
1t is not known what the total con-
sideration of the deal involves, but 1t
is understood that only $4,000 was
cash, the balance to be stock.

trict. We have attained a depth of $50
feet in perpendicular shaft, and with
our present equipment have a sinking
capacity of 1000 feet covering not only
our present needs, but our future re-
quirements. From the surface dip and
measurement we calculate to encounter
the largest sulphide ore body about the
5OO-foot level and are sinking steadily
for that purpose. We shipped one car
load of ore to the Ell Paso smelter re-

will ship any more before the railroad

Il am convinced that the Needles
Parker district, embracing the territory
on both the Arizona and California
sides of the Colorado river, will be the
equal, if not the superior, of any other
gold-copper district in the United
States Needles will be the great rail-
road distributing point on the Califor-
mia side and Parker on the Arizona
side. Los Angeles, as before stated,
will be the great supply center for
both sides, and this means millions to
the city"
Mr.. Fink will return to the d. and
w. mine in ten days, accompanied by
several stockholders who desire to see
the new equipment in operation.
