JUMBO OF STATELINE IS
REPORTED TO HAVE STRIKE

Private information received in
this city in the form of a letter from
Tyron, Buell. q Wickes, who are the
owners of the Jumbo mine in the
Stateline district indicates that the
men have finally struck it" after
years of heretofore fruitless toll, and
that the old camp may take on a
complete rejuvenation as a conse-
quence.
The Jumbo is located on Rice
mountain, and has been worked by
the trio for the last ten years. A
depth of between six and seven hun
dred feet has b~eenattained, and it is
understood that the vein, which runs
from twenty to fifty feet in width
was cut about 400 feet in the tunnel.
The work on the property has been
conducted in a desultory n for
the past few years. 1t was while the
mines we're doing their annual as
sessment work that the ore running
into "the picture" according to the
letter received here, was found.
The values were not stated in ex-
act terms, the sentence referring to
that part just stated that they were
getting gold galore" This properly
is a gold producer pure and simple.
The same source of information, how
ever, also stated that on the old
Ophir,a silver-gold proposition, with
silver predOminating, another strike
of considerable magnitude had been
ade by billiard Lanoss ter, who has q
lease on t he grouna.
This Information nav have the Of
feet of again turning the tide of min
ers and others to Stateline, which for
several years after the start, in 1900,
was quite a lively camp. Eventually
the attractions of Goldfield and To-
nopah districts drew away the gold
very pessimistic with reference to the
future of Stateline. So only a few
like the three mentioned, held on
with the hope that some day their
labors would be rewarded, and it ap-
pears, at least in the case mentioned,
that their dreams have come true.
The early history of S~tateline, be-
fore it became officially a camp, that
is in the arly '7Os, was frought with
adventure, and there were a good
many gunplays and several lynchings
due to the fact that the place was a
rendezvous for a lot of cattle thieves
hailing fromUtah, Nevada and Ari-
The selection of the place was
because of it's nearness to all three
states, or rather n state and three
territories.
One OF the tragic tales told of the
locality in the old days was that of
the Indian who was sitting on top of
the first U. S. mineral monument
erected in the district. Two miners
were concerned but their namse can-
not be given for the reason that they
are said to be still living. Here they
may be referred to as Jones and
Brown
See that Injun up on the monu-
ment?" queried Jones of Brown"
"Betcher a dollar l can get his right
eye in one S ot!"
Take you, responded Brown"
Put up or shut up"
They did. Jones" drew his gun,
one of the old patterns of army Colts,
shot, and won the bet. There were
no witnesses. it is said. and nothing
was ever done, for in those days the
majority of white men held to t he
celebrated old remark that 1.-The only
good Indian is a dead INDIAN
Herald Republican.

HORSE DROPS DEAD AT
DONNELLSON FAIR
Fort Madison Racer Succumbs-keo'
kuk Man Is Arrested at Grounds
Wanted for Larceny.

Fort Madison Democrat: Banner
Leaf, the bay stallion owned by F. H.
Mehmert of Fort Madison, dropped
dead Friday afternoon after winning
the second heat of the 2:14 pacing
race at the county fair at Donnellson,
Iowa. The horse had been third in
the first heat and in the second he
showed his heels to the field, the Fort
Madison crowd cheering him loudly.
After winning the race his driver
began slowing him down gradually
at the turn of the track and it was
here that Banner Leaf fell. Assist
ants hurriedly ran to the animal and
he was dragged to his stall where
medical attention was given him, but
it was fruitless. 1t Is thought that a
bursted blood vessel caused the
death Of the horse, caused by the v.o-
lent exertion in winning this heat.
The horse was very old also and this
may have been Indirectly the cause
of hts sudden expiration.
Acting Marshal Grover Billiard OF
Donnellson brought to Fort Madison
late Friday afternoon young fellow
who. it Is said, lives in Keokuk and
incarcerated him in the local jail to
serve seven days, after having been
found guilty Of larceny on the fair
grounds. He gave his name as Clar-
ence Westfield.

MONROE DOCTRINE
IS SAVING US
Only Thing Which Keeps United
States Out Of the War, SO
Roosevelt Says.

rJTnited Press Leased Wire Serv1ce.J
HARTFORD, Conn.,, Aug. 15.-But
for the strict maintenance of the Mon
roe doctrine, the United States would
probably have been drawn into the
general European war, Colonel Roose'
welt declared here tonight before the
connecticut progressive state conven>
ton.
The colonel discussed the European
war at length, drawing upon the de,
velopments leading UP to the conflict
IN support of his argument against
the arbitration treaties now pending
in congress. Africa, south Of the
eouator is now being drawn into the
European war although without any
interest in it, the colonel declared.
1--WE would have been drawn In the
same way but for the observance OF
the great principle OF the Monroe doc
trine that this continent shall not be
treated as a place for territorial ag
srandizement by old world powers.
The colonel declared he believed
the adoption OF pending arbitration
treaties would be ininfcal to the
United States IL they had any effect
at all. He declared that under the
treaties, If as a result Of the war now
in progress, Denmark or HOLLAND
should part with its islands In the
West Indies to some old world power
the United States would be bound tc
arbitrate. A commission would have
to be appointed to investigate before
/ action could be taken. The same
would hold true II Mexico at some
time should part with Magdalena bay
