mining engineers. representing Eastern
and London capital, have taken a two
years lease on the Lady Belle mine.
the wonderful silver-bearing prospect
opened up seven miles from this city
in February. They will pay fifty per
cent royalty and put up a cash bond
to insure the property from debt.
Roads will be built Immediately and
the $4,000 worth OF ore now on the
dump, gouged out in opening the pros
pect, will be sacked and shipped. The
property will be worked by tunnels
driven back to solid rock and regular
shipments will not be possible for
ninety days.
The values continue to run several
hundred ounces OF silver to the ton.

mon Dakota sandstone, such as is in
almost everybody's back yard. Captain
Hassell says he took lease on the
property at a high price because for
scientific purposes he wants to be the

BACON WARNED TO LEAVE TOWN
Skull and Bones Sent to Oynamits Vic
tim Before Explosion Killed Wife.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Cripple Creek, Colo.-Former Repre-
sentative James Bacon has recovered
sufficiently to give Sheriff Henry Won
Phul and Chief of Police George Bon
ney information which may clear up
the mystery surrounding the explosion
that wrecked the Bacon home, killed
Mrs. Ida Bacon and her six-year-oid
daughter, and badly injured Bacon. He
told of receiving two black hand let
ters ordering him to leave town.
The first read:
Beware. You and your family had
better leave town as soon as pos
sible."
The second:
"You have been warned. 1t is up to
you and yours to get out at once be-
fore you are carried out upon
stretcher."
Each of the letters bore skull, cross
bones and dagger.
Bacon said he did not report these
letters to the authorities for fear OF
alarming his wife. who was very nerv-
Gus, and says he destroyed them with
out letting anyone see them.

TO fill up with the tents Of prospec-
tors.
That this is not to be a one-mine
camp seems assured by the announce
ment that a mile and half northeast
OF the Lady Belle ore has been opened
in the Little Mary that runs $3.50
ton. Also in the North Dakota claim.
Just above the Lady Belle the same
ore seems to be coming in, which will
probably make another bonanza.
A line of hacks is running to the
mining district, only seven miles away.

making hay while the sun shines by
taking boarders. The first townsits to

low the Lady Belle. A small hotel Is
being erected there. None Of the
features commonly incident to min
ing camp, such as gambling and sa-
looms. has as yet sprung up.
That big opportunities lie at tho
door OF every man living in a mining

Kempf has ridden 1t hundred times.
He had smattering Of minerology.

differences, II this is possible.

express final judgment through the
referendum. before the act shall go
into effect.

fore an open joint meeting OF the

TARIFF TURKEYS
WOULD COST LESS
II You Can Get Your Bird from Some
Foreign Country, 1t Means
a Saving.

EBy Bond p. Geddes, staff correspon-
dent of the United Press.]
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-There's
real, unalloyed Joy contained in the
new democratic tariff, IL positive
prophesies materialize and score
or more of wholesale and retail gro
GERS here have declared they will. 1t
will cost every family in the United
States about one half dollar less a
year for the same kind of Thanks
giving dinner they had in 1912. And
of course, the saving will not be pos
sible only On the Thanksgiving din
ner. 1t applies to every meal, day In
and day out, throughout the year.
Assuming that the average family
consists of Ave persons, in popula-
ton Of 9o,000,0o0 people that would
be 1S,000,O0O families who will be
able to save fifty cents each or a
grand total of s5,400,00O saved by the
United States on this feast day.
Here is the democratic dope cal
culating that retail prices on Thanks.
giving prevender will be reduced as
much as the new tariff law reduces
import duties: On 10-pound turkey
the tariff is cut 30 cents, providing
that the imported turkey was brought
in dead If ION the hoof," the saving
would be 40 cents head. That Cana
dian turkeys will be imported this
year and force down prices, at least
in the east and New England, is ex
pected.
The tariff on cranberries is re
d,Iced about 2 cents a quart. Five
quarts of these for the ordinary fam
ily-if the tariff reduction extends t.
the family grocery would result in
ten cents saving. Saving of another
dime on vegetables, most of which
are on the free list In the new law
is another democratic calculation.
II wines are bought, the new tariff
will not effect any Thanksgiving
economy. The same old duty of 81
cents quart remains on champagne
under the new law Ale and beer are
taxed As cents gallon, as they were
before October g. Oysters, Holsters
and other shellfish are not dutiablt
under the new law; neither Were
