put made the previous month. In ad.
dition the lessees SHIPPED about fifteen
cars of ore which settled at better
than an ounce. Most of the leasers'
ore came from the Howard shaft
which is on Gold hill in the Cripple
Creek district.

town, has been sold by trustee in bank,

N. Carroll of Denver, representative
of the bondholders, for $4,000. The
sale was made to clear off an indebted

ing for several years.
There is gold ore at Platora and it
Is rich and found in quantity. The
veins are true fissures and there are
many of them. Such is the informa-
tion brought to Cripple Creek by
Frank Gum, former alderman. He
has been in the Platora section about
a month making an investigation and
has found things there good, at least
such as will make a gold excitement.
A winze, sunk four feet into the bot
tom of the drift of the Miser mine at
Jasper revealed the widening out of
the high-grade streak, which assayed
$4,000 gold to the ton, into nine of
these streaks within three feet. The
high-grade vein seemed to divide it.

That a fine body of oil has been
struck near DeBeque by the Grand
River Gas and Oil Company was ad-
mitted by Charles Lang, president of
the company and business man of
Gleenwood Springs. The oil was found
at a depth of LAO feet, the drill be-
ing stopped when eight feet into the
sand. The extent of the flow has not
yet been determined, but it is known
that the workmen with the bucket
used for bailing during drilling pulled
up twenty barrels one night since the
strike.

his sense Of the ludicrous returned.
Then, in full possession Of the humor
of the situation, he sat down on the
side OF the bunk and grinned, A man
can grin when the Joke is on him. but
he seldom becomes boisterous under
the circumstances unless he is In pub
lie, where 1t is always good taste to
prove his good fellowship by blatant
laughter.
That the game warden had gone for
help there was no doubt. Remember
ing the slap which Bedight had ad-
ministered on the day Of their first
meeting. that worthy did not desire
to take further chances.
But II Miss Vining planted tho
trap, why did not the warden bring
enough help with him to arrest met"
This was the question the mayor
asked himself-and gave 1t up. He
had no way Of knowing that the war
den had sent word to the sheriff to
be on hand-but that functionary was
at the moment marooned on an island
five miles from the village with ample
food sent by kind providence in the
light Of the moon, but with no boat
by which he might navigate the inter-
vening waters.
An hour passed. during which time
Bedight had satisfied himself that
wood choppers cabins in general and
this one in particular were built with
the express purpose of being better
jails than those possessed by the or

Harry Moberg made rich ore
strike in his tunnel which runs thirty
six ounces of gold. 1t is situated up

The Oldham brothers are commenc-
ing to work on the Golden Treasure
mine at Placer creek. They struck
$120 ore in the drifts from the shaft
last fall.
The Memphis mine people at Red
River are at work opening up this

They also have a large body of gold
and silver ore which runs from $40 to
$120 per ton.
The mill of the Cora Bell mine at
Red River, which is owned by H. L.
Pratt, is now in full operation treating
large bodies of gold ore. 1t is rum
ored that Mr.. Clark, the assayer and
mill man for Mr.. Pratt, has offered
him $500 per ton to ship 1t and pay all
expenses.
Every indication seems to point to
the fact that oil in abundant quanti-
ties and of the most valuable quality
has been struck in or near Pennington
and that part of New Mexico is des.
tined to be a busy commercial center

SEX PROBLEM TALK
HEARD BY LEAGUE
Mrs. M. E. Jackson Tells Audience
Marriage Should Not Be Permitted
Without Medical Authority.

Women, by consenting to marry men
who have not been declared by ply
sicians to be physically fit, are respon-
sible for the perpetuation of the double
standard of morality. according to Mrs
Mary Emerson Jackson, of this city,
who, by invitation, lectured yesterday be-
fore the Anthony League. at the Port.
ner.
Mrs. Jackson based her lecture on the
play, Damaged Goods" ard commended
it for the interest it is arousing in the
sex problem.
In part, Mrs. Jackson said:
women are responsible for the per-
retuation Of the double standard of NOR.
atty between men and women. In con-
senting to marry men who have not been
declared physically fit to enter the state
Of wedlock we have been at fault. I
firmly believe that, with the passing of
this century, we shall pass also the leth-
argic state that allows the continuation
Of this problem, which is one of the can
GERS Of our civilization.
THE infection caused by the double
standard of morality exists in an appap
ing percentage Of our homes today. Those
who believe that something must be done
to stop 1t should be willing to act, AMI
act drastically, thus preventing the phys
ic:-l poisoning of pure women and inno-
cent children"
At the next meeting Of the league, on
the afternoon of April %, members will
be addressed by another prominent lee
turer, who will continue the discussion
of the problem Of sex.

WEATHER BUREAU Chief
Denies ALL CHARGES.
Prof. Willis L. Moore Answers State
ments Made by Representative
Fowler in the House.
WILL WELCOME A PROBE

That the charges alleging irregular
methods in the administration of his of
flee are malicious and false, was the
statement last night of Prof Willis l..
Moore. retiring chief of the Weather
Bureau, in answer to the report that
Representative III. Robert Fowler of Ill
inois shortly will present to the House
an expose" of methods used by Prof
Moore in his fight for a Cabinet posi-
ton.
Statements that there is any shortage
in funds in any division of the Weather
Bureau, that there has been anything
irregular in the administra ton Of affairs,
or that there has been done anything
contrary to law. are malicious and
false" said Prof Moore. last night
ANY person is at liberty to examine
the accounts Of all divisions of the
Weather Bureau. An examination of the
accounts will show how untrue are
charges that there Is any shortage. The
charges WI he proved absolutely untrue
by a reference to the books of the bu-
reau.
"Mr. Fowler's statements will be met
and answered by friends of mine on the
floor of the House. Whether made by
Fowler or any other person. / wish to
repeat that the charges are not only
false, but malicious"
The charges which it is said Represen-
tative Fowler will introduce in the House
shortly, state that Prof. Moore used the
travelling fund of the bureau in promot-
ing his candidacy, and that an UMPIRE
cedented number of promotions were
made to gain support for the retiring
Chief of the Weather Bureau.
