GIVES UP STAMPS
Gem Grocery Abandons Use OF
Little Green Premiums
Because Convinced That the
System Did Not Pay.

Another blow was given to green
trading stamps last week when the
Gem Grocery, third largest user OF
green trading stamps in Topeka, aban-
doned the stamp. 1t is understood
that the Gem used 5000 and S5oO
worth of stamps month
This is looked upon as one OF the
most severe blows given to the tradlnS
stamp people since they entered To-
peka- In fact. it brought s. G TODD.

"a Dead Issue
The Gem was one of the original
signers of the green stamp contract IN
Topeka and was owned at that time
by the Leuenberger Bros Recently
the store was purchased by Webb &
Klopfer. E. w. Webb, one of the
owners, declined to make a statement
today.
It's a dead issue with us now" said
Mr. Webb. why not let it rest %
However, it is known that it has
taken a great amount of moral cour-
age for the new firm to stand pat.
The Gem is located at Tenth and To-
peka avenues, in a neighborhood
where there is much competition. The
stamp people are said to have threat
ened to place their stamps with all
stores in the neighborhood.
A Topeka advertising man who ur-
derstands the situation pretty thor
oughly gives the following statement:
They Didn't Pay.
THE Gem gave up the stamps be-
cause they didn't pay. That is the
whole story. The Gem was paying
big per cent of its profits to the stamp
company and there was mighty little
left.

Charles Sweeney Dies

mining capitalist OF Spokane ana
owner of many mining claims in
the Buffalo Hump camp in this
county, died early Tuesday morn
ing at Portland hospital from
the effects of a recent stroke of
paralysis. Speaking of the de-
ceased, the Lewiston Tribune
says:
Mr.. Sweeney was &c years old
and was born in New York City.
He served in the Civil war as a
boy of Is and went to California
in 1867. He mined in that state
and in Nevada, later was with
the Knapp-Burrell Hardware
company of Portland and in 1883
opened general store in Spo-
kane, which he conducted until
the Occur d'Alene mining excite
ment. He then opened store
at Wardner, later becoming as
ISOLATED in the Last Chance mine,
to still later become one of the
largest owners of property in
that district. He organized the
Federal company, was at its head
for a period, and prior to that
time was involved in extensive
litigation over mining property.
Upon retiring from active mine
operation he invested heavily
in Portland and Spokane real es-
tate, and maintained Offices in
New York. No estimate is avail
able at this time as to the extent
of his estate.
Charles Sweeney was we'll
known in Lewiston and in the
central Idaho mining country.
While he never became perma-
nent operator in the interior
mining camps, he was conspicu-
GUS in this field during the Buff
alo Hump excitement in Idaho
county, having acquired the orig
inal discovery there the Big
Buffalo mine as we'll as other
properties which he retained to
the time of his death. At the
time of the Buffalo Hump activ-
tiles he made frequent trips to
Lewiston and to Grangeville. In
securing the Buffalo Hump mine,
he outbid some of the most prom
inent mining interests of the u
nited States as well as English
syndicates. The ore body had
not been opened except on the
surface when Mr.. Sweeney paid
over 5000, 900 for the property,
and he then spent perhaps $780,
600 more installing a plant and
carrying on some development
work. In the milling operations
he sank 210 feet on the vein and
then shut down, allowing the
shaft to fill with water. He
stated the ore wouldn't pay, and
maintained that position when
ever the subject was later
preached to him. Many mining
men have contended that further
development of the Big Buffalo
was warranted. The incident as
to the Big Buffalo illustrates the
definiteness with which Mr..
Sweeney pursued his plans when
once he had formed an opinion.
After abandoning operations at
the Big Buffalo, he later acquired
patent title to many claims in the
district which he had acquired
during the rush, but he never
spent a dollar in developing them
beyond the point necessary to Sc
cure patent. There is a view in
some quarters that ultimately
these properties will be opened
up, with a confidence also that
some good mines will result.
