NO SHACKLES FOR HIM
BY CHARLES II. MANDY

most decided aversion to wearing the
leg chains or "shackles'' with which the
city prisoners are adorned was evinced
by VIII Brown, a gingercake colored
coon with limp in his leg and lisp
in the voice, who was arraigned before
Judge Douglas of the recorders court on
a charge of being an escape.
VIII was identified by the street com
missioner as having escaped from the
ohaingang while serving a Jail sentence
and when asked If he had anything to
say, replied:
'Yassah, boss All Is. In de fust place.
All don't want ter be tried here nohow
All wants ter go to de big rock. An In
de second place, jedge, All jest maturity

he pointed to an old negro woman in the
back of the court
The judge looked over the docket and
found second charge against VIII and
called tho negro woman for a witness.
Burglary and grand larceny is felony
and punishable by long term of years
in the penitentiary, yet although the ne
gro was only charged with misdemeanor
and had sentence he could complete In
two weeks, he deliberately accused him
self of breaking into a woman's house
and stealing $3.50.
Instead of the negro woman having
to make out case against VIII, he made
one out against himself and the nature
of the charge being beyond the jurisdle-
tion of the recorders court, Will will

Praise for Entertainers
Captain Anderson talks entertaingly

ment both at home and abroad He
states that athletics In the south should
be encouraged and that this section

Speaking of tho various events OF
the meet, Captain Anderson said.
"The close of the great meet found
all the contesting nations satisfied ex-
cept Great Britain. They hint at un-
fairness, yet make no specifs charges
While some of the decisions and rul-
ings of the committees In charge of
the various events seemed close, yet In
the main they were fair to all. We
shall all profit by our experiences

Each hole is to be sunk to depth of l,O0O feet, and it is expected that six or eight holes will be sunk. While there was no cash consideration for the option paid at this time, the contract is considered an excellent one, for the owners will have the property developed for them to that extent, with the proba bility of a sale. This section of the district is one of the little developed ones, and therefore is of interest to the owners of adjacent properties as well as to the owners of these particular thirty.one claims, who have held them for more than ten years. It is understood that if the option under the bond shall be taken up, there is cash consideration of upwards of 300, ,OOO$ to be paid.

Solid Copper Boulder.

Among the geological and miner. alogical collections of the United States national museum is an odd boulder of solid copper, which has a very interes' = ing history. This large mass of cop- per has been in the possession of the Smithsonian institution since 1860, and has recently been moved to the new museum building, where it is now on exhibition in the southeast corner of the east hall on the second floor
 The boulder has the appearance of dull bronze colored rock, much chip ped and worn. It is three and one. half feet leng, three feet wide by one and one-half feet in it's thickest part, and owing to the great density of cop- per, weighs nearly three tons, large weight for such relatively small bulk.
 For ages this remarkable mass of copper lay on the west bank of the Ontonagon river In the upper benin. sula of Michigan, where it was known for many years by the Chippewa h. dians of that region. It was not until l766, however, that the first white man, Alexander Henry, an English ad- venturer and trader, visited this re- markable specimen. During the next seventy-fve years many explorers and scientists followed Henry's footsteps until the boulder became we'll known as mineralogical curiosity. It was undoubtedly valuable specimen. worth thousands of dollars, but it's weight prevented anyone from making way with it. In 1911 Julius Eldreds hardware merchant of Detroit, pur-

Ore Once Rejected
 Proves Valuable.

There has just been made discov- cry which must be of mutual interest to Goldfeld and which may prove to be of vital importance to the district, not in the new opening of ore, but in the demonstration that ore exposed long ago and ignored as nearly worth less is of good commercial value and in the fact that this ore was mined in a part of the district supposed by many | to contain nothing that would yield a profit. says the Goldteld correspondent of the Los Angeles Times.
 During the early leasing period of the district operations were conducted by lessees on the claims of the Gold field Kabawgam and White Rock Min ing companies, whose claims adjoin those of the Goldfeld Consolidated on the west, some distance beyond the apex of the main Consolidated system. Both of these properties were owned by the Begole Mines Syndicate, which also operated one of the rich leases on the Mohawk. Within the past year patents have been issued on the claims comprised In these properties. and subsequently the holdings of both con- panies were deeded to the Begole Mines Syndicate.
 Manager Ben Gill, who has had charge of the Begole properties for some years, lately examined some of the material from the White Rock property. He was so we'll pleased that he took several samples to an assayer that he believed to be similar in char, acter to the ore of the Jumbo Exten sion and the Grizzly Bear mines. These samples showed total value of 22.79$ ton, a considerably better grade of ore than some that is being shipped to distant smelling points and which have yielded good profit. In view of Gill's discovery, it is believed that work will be resumed on the Be- gole property within short time. The company has plenty of money to conduct a comprehensive campaign of development.
 According to the latest reports the Manhattan district, which is tributary to Goldfeld, is now making showing of commercial ore far surpassing any. thing in it's history and it bids far to become one of the foremost producers of the yellow metal in the State of Nevada. Charles s. Sprague of Gold field has just returned from Manhattan and is enthusiastic over the outlook there. He says the Big Four mine is a veritable bonanza and has good ore exposed in every face, with some stopes opened that are of gigantic proportions.
 L. K. Koontz of Goldfeld, president and manager of the Big Four, also an- nounces the opening up of great bod ies of milling ore. While at Manhat- tan Sprague completed arrangements for the beginning of work immediately on the Manhattan Standard property, in which he is interested. Great ac- tivity is general throughout the neigh boring camp, and many leases are coining money there.
