DAWSON QUARTZ MILL
TO RUN SOON

The directors of Lone Star Limited has just issued the company's bal ance sheet, says the Dawson News, The affairs of the company, as com. pared with affairs some fifteen months ago. are stated to be much more satisfactory. During the last season three placer claims, aggregat, ing HOO feet of victoria gulch, were bought as a mill site. This ground also provides room for tailings and water for milling. A fourstamp Henry mill, of 1000 pounds per day capacity, has been erected thereon, a gravity incline $500 feet long has been constructed, to convey the ore from the mine to the mill. and tele- phone line connects the top and bot tom of the incline. A power line fro the forks of Bonanza and Eldorado creeks up to the mill has been con- structed. switches, motors, and all necessary appliances put in, and a contract entered into with the North ern Light, Power and Coal company to supply the Lone Star Limited with power for five years, on very favor able terms. A run of the mill was made to try out the machinery before closing down for the winter. and, while neither plates nor mortar boxes were quite cleaned up. nor was it de sjrable to completely clean them, ap- proximately nine and one-half ounces of gold was taken from them, and the officers of the company now look forward to future operations with in. creased confidence. The mill building was substantially constructed, with a view to an early start in the spring and to run late in the fall of the year Weather permitting, it is in tended to start the mill running on May this year.

WEBSTER MAY MAKE
THIRD CONFESSION

Dixon, ILL.,, Jan. 2.-Sheriff William
Delaney of Ogle county has been in
Dixon serving subpoenas on wit
nesses in the Webster murder case.
The case is expected to come up at
the next term of the Ogle county
court If continuance cannot be OBJ
tanned by the defense. Judge Far
rand, who will open court. will be
asked to call in another judge to pre-
side as Judge. James S. Baume of Ga
lena probably will hear the case. John
E. Erwin, chief counsel for Webster,
who has been Ill for some time at his
home, is recovering and will be able
to try the case in January. The at
torneys for the defense have not been
able to agree upon line of defense,
and they are not sure that Webster
will not make third confession.
Sheriff Delaney Is of the opinion that
Webster is weakening as the time
draws near for his trial. Some new
evidence has been uncovered In re-
gard to the disposition of the clothes
of Bessie Kent Webster after the mur-
der. When the body was found in a
ravine in Schorr's woods every yes
tige of clothing had been removed.
On the next Saturday some newspaper
men found the remains of fire, some
burned paper and a piece of cotton
and few half burned pieces of cloth
dress goods. 1t is said these pieces
of cloth have been identified as a part
of the dress or skirt worn by Bessie
Kent. Now two perons say they saw
some Of DR.. Webster's family In
Schorr's woods on Thursday, Sept 2S
gathering nuts and that they were
there all day. The authorities have
their case completed and they are
confident Webster will receive the
death penalty.

Portland, Me-, yesterday, Harry n.
Atwood met with an accident and
fell into the icy water of the Allan
tic ocean with his hydro-aeroplane. He
crawled upon the top of his machine
and waited for a boat to come to
his assistance. His "trip was to be
made by following the coast line
and the distance to be travelled was
100 miles. When all the arrange

pleted the engine was started and
the hydro-aeroplane rose. In turn

into the wind again. AS he did so
the rudder of the hydro-aeroplane
struck the magnetic and the engine
collapsed. Atwood climbed on top
Of the aeroplane and looking toward
his friends on shore, waved his hat
at them. AS the machine was seen
to collapse those on shore rushed for
boats and in very few moments
several small craft were headed in
his direction. They came none too
soon, for as the nearest one came
up to the partly submerged aero
plane, II sank in 10 feet nf water.

Chicago. Jan 2.-While men and wo-
men made merry in the New Year eve
revel Sunday night, two ministers of

Tor on the scene.

SCENES DISGUST PREACHER
DR.. Boynton's impression of the rev.
elry was by no means pleasant. He
expressed himself as depressed and
disgusted in the extreme, emotions
shared by Rev. Mr.. Bell He saw the

fondling women, women kissing men,
and children in short dresses watching
and apparently enjoying the scenes.

"by what l saw in the Pompeian room

surprised at what the people did as
was astonished that it should be per.

TELLS WHAT HE SAW.
II visited other hotels, and found
things quiet, compared with what they
were in the Congress hotel. While in

saw one woman start the grizzly bear

by the house detective.
Il was greatly surprised at one
thing. That was the great number OF
old men who were accompanied by
young women. They may have beer
