BIG GOLD STRIKE HERE
w. M. Sauer, Living Seven Miles South
of This City, Make Important Dis
covery Last Week.
Found Big Ledge of Ore As.ayins 1929
Gold Per Ton, Silver $l0s.45...Wil
Organize Company.

W. NJ. Sauer, living seven miles south
of this city on the Cheyenne river has
opened up ledge of ore bearing rock
on his sons farm that mag prove to be
one of the richest mines in the Hills.
Mr.. Sauer, who is an old miner, sent
samples to the School of Mines at
Rapid City last week, and received
the following essay: Light sulphide,
with .64 ounces gold, value sl323 per
ton; silver running 2lS90 ounces per
ton, value sl09.45; total valu alton
sl22 6s per ton.
This ledge is found about one and
one-half miles north of the Cheyenne
River bridge and right near the bank
of the river. 1t is about ten feet from
upper to lower wall and has down
ward tendency which is very good
indication. Mr.. Sauer has opened two
tunnels and the ore assayed was taken
out seven feet from the surface. Other
samples have been sent to Denver but
returns from them have not been re.
ceived as yet.
Mr.. Sauer is an old resident in the
Hills and has mined extensively around
Lead and other Northern Hills towns.
He was employed by the Homestake,
Desmet and other mines for number
Of years before moving to this county
and is in position to know lrst.ola
ore when found.
Should this proposition turn out ao-
cording to assay it will mean a great
deal to Hot Springs. Mr.. Sauer ex-
poets to form company in the near
fntnre to omen mp and develop this
property and has confidence in it's
turning out to be very paying mine.

TRAVELLERS CLUB PARTY
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Stanley Entertain
Monday Evening.

A very pretty and a very merry party
was that given by the Travellers Club
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H.
Stanley on Monday evening. 1t was
Valentine party, and the rooms we're
beautifully and appropriately decorat-
ed. Many fancy costumes we're in
evidence, all the way from quaint
olden styles and Queen of Hearts to
the comic valentine and from Happy
Hooligan to the Ward Politician.
Games In keeping with the time afford
ed much amusement. Original
valentines showed that the Club is not
without ;ts artists and rhymsters.
Some indeed possessed not little real
merit. Mr.. Glattley carried of the
gentleman's prize and Mrs. Heron the
ladies prize in guessing the silhouettes.
The guests we're later invited to the
dining room, which too was beautiful.
AT each plate was q handsome hand
painted valentine executed by Mrs.
Bailey. TIE refreshments proved at
once that the members of the Club

is the most wholesome and cleanest
type of western drama ever put together.
Chic Perkins will not give you the
'stage type" of western girl usually
found In plays of this character, but
will present true type of western
girl as she really is today.
The gowns worn by Chic Perkins in
'The Leading Lady" are simply gorge.
GUS and beyond description. The
play is Of very "classy" order, and
tells the story of brilliant young
actress, who gave up the stage to we'd
a society man, whose father objects to
the union, but she proves to be q
womanly woman, and by her many
good qualities, finally wins his love
and admiration. See these two great
plays at The New Opera House on
February 23rd and 24th.

A COMMUNICATION.
From a Member of the State Home Re-
garding Recent Charges.

Soldiers Home, February IL, 1910.
Editor Hot Springs STAR
In your issue of February 10th ap-
peared an article written by Orville
Ritner Gard, in which the writer is
pleased to acquaint the world at large
and Hot Springs and vicinity in par.
ticular with the shameful and abomin-
able manner in which the affairs of
the State Soldiers Home are conducted.
Quite number of articles have ap-
peared from time to time In various
publications in which the management
Of the Home has been scorched, not
merely criticized, but held up to scorn
and ridicule for the benefit Of out
siders, who are more or less in total
ignorance, not only Of the manner in
which such an institution should be
conducted. AS far as I know no
member of the Home has ever thought
1t worth while to meddle in this con-
troversy, not as Mr.. Gard, assistant
Adjutant and factum factotum'' of
the Soldiers Home. hints, for fear of
the consequences. but because they
thought these things were not for them
to adjust. But there is such thing
and such time when forbesrance
ceases to be virtue, and things have
very near come to that pass. Mr.. Gard
says: Il do not deny telling Mr.. Fitz.
patrick that the meals, with the OK.
csption of the noon meal, we're very
very poor, and they were." l UNDER
stand that Mr.. Gard has formerly
boarded at q place less than q thousand
miles from the Soldiers Home, where
they are in the habit of cha rging their
guests from So to "a per day and they
give them 80 per cent style and 10 per
cent of board for their money and
after that on several occasions guests
have gone to restaurant to buy q
meal to satisfy the needs Of the inner
man. Wonderful, incredible, of what
transformstion the human mind is
capable. Facts don't stand In the way
at all, when wrwthful and inflamed
imagination runs riot; when vengeance
runs amuck, seeking whom It may
devour. Poor old soldier. Pitisbls
member of the Soldiers Home. Don't
you wish to pat on the back the man
who so valiantly took your side as
against the arrogance? and tyranny?
of Col. Geddis. Don't you remember
how he showed his love for you by
elevating his chin at an angle Of As
degrees whenever he passed you? Don't
you appreciate his goodness Of heart
when you remember how he use to
show his good comradship whom he
passed you By, never saying Q wordl
His heart was too full for utterance,
contemplating your misery!! Does
Mr.. Gard really expect that his word
will be taken in his rating the fare at
the Home as very, very poor.2 say

which time Chic Perkins and her
splendid company will appear in "The
Little Prospector" and .The Leading
Lady" Miss Perkins has the sole

CITY HALL FIRE.
Blaze Discovered in City Hall Tuesday
-..Small Damage.

---Small Damage.
Fire was discovered on the second
floor of the city hall Tuesday and the
alarm sounded. The fire department
responded promptly and soon had a
stream of water on the blaze. The
origion of the fire is supposed to have
been pail of ashes setting in little
room back of the library. It seems it
had burned thru the floor and had
gained good heRdway between that end
the ceiling Of the postoffice before it
was discovered. A great part of the
damage done was caused by water and
by holes cut in the floor to get at the
blaze. The dreman's hall. and post.
office were flooded somewhat but none
Of the mail fortunately was injured.

night made it pleasant for about sixty
of the Hot Springs people. The
special at $50 p. m. was we'll filled and
at 9:2o another crowd went over to trip
the light fantastic, being guests of the
Buffalo Gap Fair Association at big
masquerade. Oliver Magee and
orchestra of four pieces furnished
music for the occasion. At $50 the
fun began with the grand march. Geo.
Washington, impersonated by II. A.
Hummel, of this place, and Mrs
Wesley Dslby, of the Gap, in the
costume of a fairy, led the dancers
thru the pretty figures. After this
fun was rife, all dancers being costumed
and masked, and their actions kept
those who we're spectators and the
dancers themselves in joyous mood.
The many appropriate costumes kept
the judges busy in selecting persons
on whom to bestow the prizes. Geo
Hummel's Indian costume, together
with his war dances and war whoops
was in class by itself and he was
awarded fine watch fob as first prize
for the gentlemen. Miss Ferrin, in
the costume Of COW girl, received
first prize in the ladies class.
To say that this dance was a most
enjoyable affair is putting it mildly.
1t was immense. The floor of the
auditorium in which the dance was
held was perfect, the management
away above par and the crowd excellent.
The Fair Association and Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Stewart in particular are de-
serving of credit for the good time
shown Hot Springs people as we'll as
local guests at this, their annual
masquerade.

Florida laments the death of Ma
poleen B. Broward at his home in Jack
sonville, Oct. 1. He began life as a
poor boy helping to support his mother
and family, then became a sailor, then
steamboat man. and won much repu-
tation as a filibuster in conveying ma
terial to the Cuban insurgents. A prize
was placed upon his head by the Span
ish Government, but this did not stop
his daring voyages in Three Friends"
to carry arms and ammunition to the
Cubans. He astonished the politicians
of his State by being elected Governor,
in which office he served four year,
and fought thru to a finish the project
of draining the Everglades. At the
conclusion of his gubernatorial term he
was a candidate for Senator, was de-
feated several times but at the last
election he led Tailiaferro, the present
Senator, about 100 votes in the whole
State, and would have been elected
had he not died. His last words were:
Il can't die now; have so much to do
for Florida"

REPRESENTATIVE CRUMpACKER.

Representative L. L. Crumpacker, OF
Indiana, is candidate for reelection,
and has been questioned as to his atti-
tude on pensions, and particularly the
dollar-a-day bill Judge Crumpacker
has been interviewed as to his attitude,
and he writes to the Williamsport Re-
view that he has supported every meas
ure that has come before the House for
liberalizing pensions, and has never
missed an opportunity to secure for
each individual all that he was justly
and honestly entitled to. He recalls
some points as follows:
During the second Cleveland Admin
istration, when the Democrats were in
authority all along the line, a-few pri-
vate pension bills were passed, and
President Cleveland vetoed practically
all of them. Not only that. but his
Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith.
struck from the pension roll the names
of about 10000 Union veterans upon
the charge of fraud without giving them
any notice or opportunity to show that
their names were rightfully on the roll.
1t was part of my duty when / first
went 10 Congress to assist in the rein
statement OF numerous veterans who
had been unjustly deprived of their pen
sions by the Democratic Administration
also helped to pass law during Nc
kinley's first Administration forbidding
the striking of the name of a veteran
from the pension roll without notice TO
him and clear proof that his pension
was obtained by fraud. The pension
appropriations are now nearly $4,000
900 year more than they were when I
first went to Congress, notwithstanding
great many veterans have passed
"a i;1n. NIa
appropriations is brought of course, by
the general increase In rates. All the
widows are now drawing ti2 "A month.
and the average rate of pensions for
soldiers Is much higher than 1t was ~
years ago. L can hardly believe that
Democratic politicians and demagogs,
with the record that party has on the
pension question, can convince soldiers
that their best interests would be pro-
NOTED by putting thai party in power"
