shows width of seven feet, with
a foot of high grade gold ore
next to the hanging wall, while
samples from the balance of the
vein assays from four to thirty
two dollars in gold, and from
three to thirty one ounces in
silver per ton. The occurrence
of telluride of gold in the Elk
Mountain Mining District is some
thing new although not altogether
unexpected as there are many
veins in this section which hive
produced more or less of the
metal in all. the ore shipments
made from them, The ores from
the Irwin Mines, Poverty and
Washington gulches. are all gold
bearing, and the rich placer
mines were made from the de-
composition of the gold bearing
veins which cut through the
mountains above and the coarse
gold has been washed into the
the streams below, and from
which many large sized nuggets
were obtained many years ago
when the old Washington Sulch
placer mines were being worked.
1t is well known fact that in
the early days of prospecting OF
this locality but little attention
was given to the discovery of
gold, and the assayer rarely was
called to test for anything out
side of silver and lead which
were the only metals looked for,
or being mined in Leadyil'e at
that time, and every prospector
was on the lookout for a second
camp barring these two metals,
with silver commanding a price
of S1.29 per ounce, and lead
worth sixty or seventy cents per
unit with no smelting charges.

at hand and many new strikes are

White House officials are prepar-
ing President Taft's spring travel
schedule. While the schedule will
not be as long as that of last year,
the President has accepted engage
ments that will Take him over thou

from Washington for many days at
a time.
The first big trip on the Presidents S
travel book will begin the second week
in February. The President will go to
Springfield. ILL.,. to attend the Lincoln
memorial celebration On the way he
will drop off for few hours at Column
bus Ohio, after which he will make a
quick trip over some Of the trolley lines

the undertaking establishment OF Arthur
Robley, at Colonial Beach. 1t was re-
moved yesterday afternoon. and it was
then that several oystermen gave their
craft to the authorities for use in hunt
ing for the body of the colored man.
After graphing with hooks in the water
near the scene of the crime for several
hours, the body was brought to the sur
face.
1t was found upon examination that
there was Il siignt bruise at the base of
the skull, and therefore the story Of
the crime as told by Evans has been
strengthened. The body of the captain
will be brought to Washington this
morning and will then be reshipped to
Baltimore, where it will be met by
friends.
The chief of police of Colonial Beach
was called on the long-distance telephone
from this city last night. He said he
was fully capable to cope with any
lynching scheme that might crop up. Sew
eral prominent citizens have been sworn
IN as deputy constables and will aid the
police in maintaining order.
Not for the last twenty years has such
n crime been perpetrated in this section
of the country. The last crime of this
character was in 1891. when the captain
of the schooner May Brown was muir
dered by the crew. which had mutined

support in securing the committee as
signmentS. 1t is no wonder, then. it is
pointed out. that promises are made
which have no prospect of being carried
out, and that two. three. and four men
are walking around the House with sat
lSfled smiles. every one of them claim
ing the same committee plum and each
confident that he, and not the other fel-
low, will win out.
1t is freely predicted by leading Demo-
Gratis that the next House will be in a
muddle for some time after Congress
meets. as result of the adoption of
the new committee assignment scheme.
They say that the Speaker being shorn
of the power. will he unable to preserve
the coheSivenesS of his party so essen
tial to good legislation. and that in con-
sequence he will in fact be little more
than a presiding officer.
This is the general view on the Demo-
cratic side of the House. It is the gen.
eral opinion among the Democrats that
no matter what party may he in con-
troll. the House will return after the vio-
lence of the experiment to the old plan
of leaving the appointment of commit
tees to tine Speaker. first amending the

that the presiding officer. whoever he

the President will leave Washington for
Atlanta, Ga, where he will speak before
the Southern Commercial Congress. From
Atlanta he will go northwestward through
Tennessee to Cincinnati. his native city.
He will stop at Nashville and Chatta-
nroga. and possibly at other Southern
cities. The President will remaNPin Gin
cinnati three or four days. and will then
make a short trip to Cleveland. From
Cleveland he is expected to return to
Washington. He will be gone at least
one week on this trip.
While no definite engagements have
been made for other trips in the spring.
il is probable that the President will
make brief visits to New York and other
Eastern cities. He has already tenta-
lively accepted invitations that would
lead him to New York.
Between March and June no long trips
have been planned SO far. In June the
President will move to Beverly. and from
there is likely to make excursions into
the East and Middle West He has
accepted an invitation to be the guest of
honor at the Kansas State fair. at Hutch

So far as ADVERTISING

themselves in any way to the cause OF

Friday afternoon and arraigned before
Justice j. c. Hind. at Oak Grove, Va.
The third man. Charles Evans, was
caught yesterday.
The three men refused to say anything
further than making statement about
the death Of the negro cook Charles
Maddox. The men refused to discuss the
death of Capt. Allen or of Churchler's in
jurieS. In speaking of the cook. Evans
said that the four survivors of the battle
had embarked IN an open boat and start
ed from the ill-fatcd craft for shore. Ac-

1t was thought advisable by the authori-

parties were organized to lynch the men.
but the more sober spirits prevailed and
the parties were called on.
There was no liquor on the boat and
according to Evans there was merely
disagreement. Evans also admitted that
he knew Capt. Allen was dead. but he
refused to say who had killed him. Allen
was killed by blow from hatchet.
One of the more remarkable features
of the case is that the colored cook
(MaddoX) and the captain of the vessel
were old friends. and had known each
other since boyhood. They had lived in
adjoining houses in Fairmount Somerset
County. Md, for some time 1t Is there

the trouble. 1t was further stated that a
posse had surrounded the negro in some

from the New York Sun.
A large concrete barn. one of the odd
est and yet most practical in the coun-
try. is that recently built by NJ. S. Yoder.
on his farm at Shipshewana. Ind. In or
der to secure the greatest amount of
interior space with the least amount of
material a twelve sided structure was
erected. which makes the ground plan
roughly circular.
The walls are made of concrete, thirty
feet high. re-enforccd with us rods of
heavy wire fencing. says the Cement Age.
and in addition to this a large amount of
scrap iron was used to re-enforce the
walls at the doors and windows. Most
of the latter material was bought from
junk dealers.
The main entrance to this barn is over
a bridge eight feet or so above the
ground. and this bridge is also con-
structed of steel and concrete. The
ground floor is of cement and the stalls
are arranged on either side of a CEN
trail driveway.
There are many novel ideas worked out
in this barn, among them labor saving
devices for watering and feeding the
stock and cleaning out the manure. A
hay truck. 30 feet in diameter. is known
the merry-EO-round. as it Is fitted up
with a hay carrying device which hOists
the hay to any desired height and takes
it to any part of the barn. This is Oper-
ated by an engine in the little house by
the bridge.
Modern ideas for ventilating and heat
ing are used. and il is possible to keep
the air pure by means of ventilator at
the top of the dome. AS this is IS feet
from the floor it acts like a tall chimney.
There are thirty-one windows in the barn.
which are all of the same dimension. Il
inch by 20 inch glass. and four lights to
sash.
a novelty in cement construction is the
absence of wooden window and door
frames. the sashes fitting into the cement
as the frames were nodded. with holes
for the bolts. which keep them in place.
The barn incloses as much floor space
as rectangular building 10 by - feet.
making a saving Of thirty-twO feet of
wall by using the twelve sided shape.
The cost was H,7S0. but that figure does
not include the owners labor Or the ma
terial coming from the farm.
