Sound Financially.

In making his annual report to Con-
gress last Moneay, the Comptroller of
the currency stated that the United
States at the present time seems to be
'intrenched financially almost as firmly
as it is possible for any Government to
be-.
practically the whole world is indebt-
ed to u.s." the report reads, "and is
steadily increasing its obligations. Our
financial condition in relation to other
peoples and the world at large becomes
stronger from week to week and from
month to month. As the figures show
so conclusively our wealth is piling up
with wonderful rapidity, but to do our
proper work in the world and to protect
and enlarge our own interests we may
before long need every dollar of these
resources, gigantic and nexhaustible as
they now seem to be-.

Interesting Case Heard Before
Justice CadOw.

Last Friday afternoons case was heard
before Justice of the Peace Rob't E. Ca.
dow, the principals in the case being
Messrs. Sanford L. Shaffer and Graysor
E. Palmer and was brought about
through the sale of the Shaffer home
stead by Mr.. Palmer to Mr. Joseph F.
Moser
Mr. Shaffer has been acting as real
estate agent in Thurmont for some years
and has bought and sold many pieces of
property for other persons. From the
testimony it appears Mr.. Shaffer solicit
ed Mr.. Palmer to sell the above named
property, he having previously purchss-
ed same from the heirs of the late w. l..
Shaffer. A verbal contract was agreed
to, week being the time given Mr..
Shaffer to sell. Mr.. Shaffer went after
Mr.. Jos. Moser. but he did not like the
place and refused to buy. Time went on
and Mr.. Shaffer reported to Mr.. Palmer
that he had failed to sell. Soon after
this, Mr.. Moser's- s-wife and daughter con-
cluded they would buy the place if the
price was satisfactory, and called Mr..
Palmer by phone and after some conver-
sation told him they would take the pro-
perty.
The question of commissions on the
sale then arose, Mr.. Shaffer claiming
that, morally, Mr.. Palmer should pay the
commission as per agreement when the
matter of selling the property was first
spoken of because NJ. Noser was his
customer. Mr.. Palmer could not see the
matter that way, hence the suit.
Some of the points brought out in the
case were that Mr. Shaffer failed to sell
within the specified ,im> tine week; that
while he had spoken to Mr.. Moser in re-
gard the property. the ladies' actually
purchased it, that Mr. Sh"ffer did not
tell Mr.. Palmer who bis prospective pur-
chaser was, and that the ladies were not
clients of Mr.. Shafer.
After hearing tbs testimony on both
sides. Mr.. Frank l.. Stoner, attorney for
Mr.. Palmer, cited the decision of the
Court of Appeals in two cases similar to
the above. In one of these cases an
agent was given certain piece of pro-
perty to sell. He advertised same extern
sively, had plats made and in other ways
spent considerable money to make sale.
A man looking for property went direct
to the owner of the property and bought
same. The agent sued for commission,
but because the agent had not produced
the purchaser nor had any dealings with
him, he was not allowed any commission,
although he had a contract, had advertis-
ed and spent his money.
Justice Cadow rendered his decision in
favor of Mr.. Palmer.

Clergy and G. A. r. Comrades
Attend Services.

The funeral of the late Rev. VIM. l..
Martin took place Thursday morning OF
last week, in the United Brethren church.
Rev. Martin had many friends in this
place and throughout the county, many
of which came to pay their last respects
to the departed.
Ministers of the United Brethren
Church, many of whom had been pastors
of the local church and worked with him
in it's upbuilding, and ministers of the
local churches present were: Rev. W. H.

D. D., and Rev. G. I. Rider, Hagers-
town; Rev. P. E. Holdcraft, Keedys-
vile; Rev. E. H. Hummelbaugh, Fred
erick; Rev. G. E. Smith, pastor OF the
TIL urmont church. Of. the local ministers
DR.. P. E. Heimer, Rev. S. E. Rose, Rev.
Charles D. Shaffer, Rev. H. o. Harner,
and Elders l.. j. Flohr and j. S. Wey-
bright, were present.
The sermon was delivered by Rev. Smith
pastor of the deceased. Eulogies on the
life of the departed brother were spoken
by DR.. Washinger and Rev. Evers, and
prayer offered by Rev. Rider.

the grave. Two veterans of the Civil
War, Rev. Martin, of this place, and Mr..
H. Milton Main, of Lewistown, the latter
not member of this Post but one of the
boys in spirit, dropping from the ranks
the same week. Several members of
the Post are i'll and were unable to at
tend.
AS for historical data of the United
Brethren church here from it's organiza-
tion up to the present time, Rev. Martin
gathered more and knew more than pos
sibly any person now living. He always
took great interest in the affairs of this
old church and of it's history wrote con-
siderable for publication. He saw it in
its primitive state and lived to see it re-
built and furnished after modern
structures.
His body now rests in the cemetery he
strove hard to beautify and is numbered
with hundreds who have been buried in

Cold Causes Fire.
Prompt Action of Firemen Save
Valuable Property.

Monday morning about eleven O'Clock
while citizens of this place were trying
to keep warm, the ringing Of the fire
bell gave warning that fire had brok en-
out.
Smoke was seen issuing from the old
Grimes residence on W. Main street now
owned by MIR. Roy Creager and occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Sugar. Mr.. Sam'l
Long turned in the alarm and in a few
minutes hose were attached to plugs
nearby. Some trouble was experienced
before water was gotten through the
hose, the extreme low temperature caus-
ing the water to freeze quickly.
Mr.. Sugar was at his store and Mrs.
Sugar was out of town, hence no person
was in the house when the fire started.
The blaze was caused by the bursting of
the water back in the range, the water
pipes being frozen. The bursting of the
water back completely demolished the
stove, pieces of iron being thrown ten
feet through the plastering and against
the outer weather boarding. The fire in
the stove was thrown about the kitchen
and soon set fire to the frame work.
This property is but few feet from
Mr.. Longs new hardware store and had
not Mr.. Long seen smoke coming from
the house soon as he did both bull ldings
likely would have burned.
The loss is covered by insurance.

HAMILTON-lRON MASK.
Arrangements Completed for Consoli
dation of Montana Properties.

Richard DaXon spent several days
in Hamilton, Mont, last week, where
he's completed arrangements for the
consolidation of the Hamilton Occur
d'Alene Mining company which he
and his brother, William Daxon, with
Hamilton people, control, and the Iron
Mask Mining company. The holdings
of the two companies are located on
Spring gulch, Montana, at Keystone
postoffice, and about six miles from
the Northern Pacific railroad The
Ha milton Occur d'Alene property was
located by Daxon brothers and other
Iprospectors in 1887, at a time when
there was quite rush from this dis
trict to Spring gulch Mr.. DaXon
states that there is considerable mill
ing ore practically on the surface, and
that three tunnels and a prospect shaft
| have disclosed ore that runs as high
as 40 ounces silver and 60 per cent
lead The property of the Iron Mas,
| is adjoining on the same vein. This
company has a compressor, good wat
! er power and is well equipped for de-
lvelopment. A crosscut has been run
to the vein and the drift toward the

BIG ORE SHOOT that has

THE BIG ORE SHOOT that has
been developed on the 400 and
500 levels of the Success mine
continues to be subject of
great interest and the prediction is
made by those well informed on the
history of the mine and the unusual
conditions surrounding the ore depos-
its that Success is now entering upon
new period of production that will
excel its former record. AS stated last
week, the ore shoot on the 140O las
been proved to be 120 feet in length
and in places over 80 feet in width.
and of a better grade than in the up
per workings. The ore on the 1900
has now been drfted upon about 40
or so feet, and the Improvement not
ed in the level above continues here
The proportion of lead and zinc re-
mains about the same, but the ore is
of better grade and the combination
of the two metals is more free, rem
dering their separation less difficult
and improving the mill recovery. The
ore fills the face of the drift, which
follows the hanging wall. How much
wider is not known, as the shoot has
not been crosscut.
Ore Shoot Longer on 1900.
Another interesting and significant
feature of the strike on the 1900 is
that the ore shoot was cut at a point
35 feet west Of the end of the shoot on
the 1400 and it is expected that it will
show a corresponding increase in
length on the east end.
The shaft has been extended to the
1900 and prosecuting will begin as
soon as the last 10 feet is timbered
and station and skip pocket put IN.
Sinking will be discontinued for the
present. The opening of the ore shoot
on this level will give a 2OO-foot back
of solid ore known to be 120 feet in
length on the 400 and probably much
longer on the other levels, besides a
certainty of much ore between the
14O0 and 1900 levels.

Prediction That Ore Will Be Encoun-
tered Within 80 Days.

The drift on the Sherman, formerly
the Union, near Burke, is again going
forward after shut down of several
weeks on account of snowslides. A
big slide covered the dump and portal
of the tunnel to a depth of over 80 feet
and this has been tunnelled through
to permit a resumption Of work. The
last 80 feet of the drift has shown "a
steady improvement in the character
of the vein filling, and Mr.. Catchings,
superintendent of the property, says
there is everything to be desired In
the face except ore, and he predicts
that he will have that within the next
month The ore shoot has been ex-
plored through a crosscut from the
Oreano, and definitely located for sew
eral hundred feet by prospect work
on the surface. The present drift is
500 feet below the Oreano crosseut.
