THE WONDERS OF POTOS|
GREATEST SILVER MINE
AMERICANS SHOULD OWN FAM.
Gus MOUNTAIN OF SILVER
IN BOLIVIA.
(By Mark r. Lamb in Mining and
Scientific Press.)

(By Mark r. Lamb in Mining and
Scientific Press.)
1t is bad enough-even disgraceful
Ito have to admit that the tin mines
and the copper mines of Bolivia are
not American owned, especially as our
representative mining men have had
an opportunity to know the important
properties. But to allow Potosi, the
biggest mineral deposit in the world
bigger than any iron mine, we know
to allow such deposit to remain
with its present owners is nothing
short of a crime.
The mountain has been looked over
in a half hearted way by a number
of engineers and promoters, but they
not only failed to appreciate the mine,
but have failed utterly to appreciate
the ideal legal conditions surrounding
the property, and this in spite of the
fact that Don Luis is gradually alb
sorbing the mountain before their very
eyes.
The Spiders ParIor.
In order that the reader may grasp
conditions, l shall begin by saying
that all biologists and near geolo-
gists are proud to admit that the big
wide veins of solid silver worked by
the early Spaniards (none of your low
grade 1000 or 1000 ounce ore) We're
merely the surface ramifications and
fissure filings at the top of the main
deposit. Anyone who has been to
/ Potosi can make you the sketch OF
the vein formation of the mountain.
1t resembles the upper half of a
spiders web with the 'parlor" below
the present workings and somewhere
below the base of the mountain. All
the veins lin the imaginary sketch)
tend toward common center-and
what a "parlor" this will be.
The early miners were only after
silver; the tin merely bothered them.
All the old failing has been accum-
ulating for years for Mr.. Lawrence and
his friends, who will have them out
with a dredge in short time.
Method of Work.
Those solid silver veins required
special laws. 1t will be readily ad-
mitted that to give claim of any con-
siderable area of ground on such veins
to one man would be unfair to the
rest, so it was arranged to allow the
workings of the veins on a simpler
and much fairer basis. 1t is only nee
essary to go upon the mountain, and
use good judgment in picking out a
mine (there are thousands) formerly
worked and now abandoned and be-
gin work-just like that. You pay
two dollars and can work anywhere
your vein leads you so long as you
do not break into any adjoining work.
ings, and likewise no one else can
break into your workings. OF course,
an occasional shot will break through
especially as the surveying party is
not kept up close (this is a joke, as
only Don Luis surveys his mine) but
! this simply means the building of a
wall to separate you from your neigh
Dor, and you continue on your way,

The administrative committee met
at the Catholic university, Washing

consulted with the old national war
council and the Knights of Columbus.
1t was finally decided that all funds
collected by the Knights of Columbus
and the old national war council be
placed under the control and direction
of the administrative committee. This
decision was very generously and
heartily agreed to by the Knights of
Columbus and the old national war
council

HICKS AND ILDERTON
FOUND NOT GUILTY.
Tried at Florence for killing DIR. Wm.
hderton, Father OF One Of Defend
ants. Court Directs Verdict.

Florepce, March 14.-J. Wilbur
HlcRs young attorney Of this city,
and Geddings Ilderton, aged about 21,
also of Florence, were this after
noon declared not guilty of the mur-
der OF DR.. William Ilderton, father Of
the last named defendant, in circuit
court here, Judge Hayne f. Rice, Of
Aiken. presiding.
The killing of Dr.. Ilderton grew out
of circumstances connected with the
legal separation Of the deceased and
his wife, and the tragedy occurred on
the day set for a hearing in Mrs. Ilder-
tons suit for alimony. 1t was alleged
that Dr.. Ilderton, a man Of at times un-
controllable temper, was bitter in his
hatred toward those arraigncd against
him particularly SO toward J. Will
bur Hicks, defendant, who was Mrs.
Ildcrton's counsel. Geddings Ilderton,
also. 1t appears, was on the side of his
mother, although there was no evil
dence to show that he had any malice
for his father.
An unusual feature of the trial was
the direction OF the verdict of ac-
nnittal by Judge Rice upon motion Of
the Hon. J. Monroe Spears, of counsel
for the defense. In instructing the
Jury to return verdict of not guilty
Judge Rice stated that he was con
viDced. from the evidence, that J. W.
Hicks had shot Dr. Ildcrton in self
defense, and that young Ildcrton, tho
dead mans son. had fired in an attempt
to protect his friend and his mothers

down and was being further attacked

however. that either Of the three shots

father.
The motion that the court direct a
verdict Of not guilty came after the
State had introduced several witnesses
and rested its case. Mr. Spears made
q strong and earnest plea for his
clients, claiming sclf-defcnse fully
tSidbilSlicu loT MT l1lCKS, ana con-
tending that no part in the killing Of
Dr. Ildcrton had been proven by the
state against young IldctrOn except
that he camc TO the rescue Of his
friend, who it apncarcd. was about TO
be killed by the deceased. He de-
clarcd that the State had proven no
malice on the part Of young Ildcrton
against his father
