kina solomon's Big Lead Strike.

Frisco.-At 1000 feet in the King
Solomon Tunneling and Development
Company has encountered a six-foot
streak of what is known as steel ga
lena ore running seventy per cent,
pure lead. The vertical depth is about
1000 feet. The ore is exceedingly
heavy and is very close grained. The
vein is true fissure vein, running di-
agonally up and down through igneous
rock. The ore is rich in other miner
ais besides lead. A typical analysis
by a Denver assaying firm shows the
total values to run over $50 ton. The
sample contained 500 worth of gold,
SIS to $40 worth of silver and as high
as $40 worth of copper. Samples ran
as high as 500 in gold. $40 in silver
and $40 In copper.

The result OF the Denver cleo
ton, which was of national and in
ternational Importance, by reason OF
the fact that Denver. western city,
where woman suffrage prevailed and
city of metropolitan attainments, was
testing the question Of voting out the
saloon, presented a surprise only in
the large majority for the VETS" The
woman vote did not put the city dry"
1t is a question whether the result
would have differed greatly If woman
suffrage had not been effective. The
experience OF those in charge OF the
campaigns for the two divisions tailed
in this, that the woman voter voted
very much as the male member Of the
family voted. The woman voter was
found on both sides. No doubt larg-
er number of the woman votes went
dry" than OF the male votes, but the
percentage was not large.
The strength of the wet" movement
came from the conviction of thousands
that to vote Denver dry" would be to
do the city injury. 1t is convention
city, tourist city and city Of resi-
dence. One of the most potent argu-
ments brought forth was that conven-
lions of Importance. national gather
ings, would not care to come to city
where hotels were prohibited from
serving liquors.
On the ethical issue 1t was contend
ed with much force that voting out the
public or legal sale of liquor would not
abolish altogether the sale and con-
sumption of liquor but that the de-
mand would be supplied by illegal
means.
The franchise sought by the Denver

There is possibility that II the
Speet water amendment for business
settlement of the water question Is
adopted there may be an effort made
to keep the matter out of court; but
1t looks as If litigation would result
over the company's position or over
the charter amendments. In all prob
ability the first move will be made by
a bondholder Of the company. in ask
