Prof, Mead has just filed his report, in which he says: : “In reply to your question as to what were my impressions of Thunder mountain, 1 will say that it is anim mense reef of rolite, porphyry and hressi: averaging S6.50 per ton, in such great quantities that in the short time 1] was there it was impos- sible to estimate its extent. “Irrespective of the immense reef of low grade ore, there are streaks of high grade ore; one streak in particu- lar that is over four feet wide, that will assay several thousand dollars per ton.

Resigas the Leadership of Tammany Hall. New York, May 14.—Lewis Nixon late this afternoon resigned the lead- ership of Tammany hall, because, as he termed it, “all my acts had to be vised from Wantage,” and, in resign- ing, he} virtually hurled defiance at Richard Croker.. He declared that his self-respect would not permit him to stand trans-Atlantic, espionage of his actions, and that his decision to lay down the leadership is irrevoca- ble. * Thefresignation was tendered at a | meeting of the Tammany hall execu- t -e committee, called at Mr. Nixon’s own request, and after Mr, Nixon had addressed the committee brietly | but intensely, He said in part: “Lean not remain at the head of the organization and maintain!my self-respect. Allof my acts have to be vised from Wantage. My self re- spect will not permit me tostand this aud I have determined to resign the leadership. My decision is irrevoca- ble and under no circumstances will I reconsider it, “Twant it understood that 1am not resigning my membership in Timmany hall. To the organiza- t in, Tam still loyal, T will con- tinue to work for its welfare and best interests in the future, as I have en- deavored to do in the past. ] am situply retiring to the ranks, us it were,” Mr. Dixon paused a moment after delivering this philippie, and then, with blazing eyes, declared: “The trouble is not in the organ- ization itself, but it is on this side of the ocean.

You can trappers’ beaver frames and their old bear traps at points along the trail. “On one of the logs of a cabin standing to-day, fifteen miles from Thunder mountain, is the mark of Lucille Loutville, a Freneh-Canadian trapper, who built the cabin in 1852. It is a souvenir today of a people who went into that country for furs and never thought of looking for gold. “che gold of Thunder mountain was discovered in ‘70 and ‘72 by Anson and Charles Downey, Anson has long been dead, but Charles, a White-haired man, is livingin Grange- ville, Idaho. The Caswells, however, were the first prospectors who had the nerve to stay with the gold prop- osition until it was brought to the frout,”’ Apple Crop is Promising St. Joseph, Mo., May 15.—There will be a scarcity of strawberries throughout this section, an enor- mous crop of apples and no peaches, a distance of seventy feet, with the} according to reports received during ore still in the face, that gives same|the month by the Western Fruit average. “In no place did I find either foot or hanging wall.

At the lat- ter place there is a vein uncovered at sixty feet deep, over ten feet in width, that carries 12 per cent in copper the entire width. > “On Elk creek, a distance of fifty miles from Thunder mountain, I saw unmistakable signs of mineral, while on Monumental creek, fifteen miles from Thunder mountain, claims have been staked that show very good prospects. “Taking it as a whole, it is the most remarkable mining country I ever expect to see. I should judge the radius of the mineral zonearound Thunder mountain is about thirty- five miles. Timber and water are in abundance. “Tue formation of the country is principally granite and gneiss, to- gether with quartz, porphyry, ryolite and trachyte. The granite is rich in fluorite, and, in my opinion, the formation be very favorable for the yet yield better than was expected. The scarcity of plants will allow the berries to grow larger than usual, aud this will in a measure make up for the short crop. Strawberries will be scarce, however, and good prices will rule. Reports indicate that there will be a full apple crop, exeept in New York State, where cold weather has pre- vailed, and it is feared heavy frosts have injured some fruits The only peaches in the Middle West will be from the sont line coun- ties i ward, but in that section the crop will be very large.

It was hastened by the action of the Carroll-Van Wyck wing in turning down Thomas Feltuer, whom Nixon w ated retained asa sachem. The Curroll crowd is jubilant and it is be- lieved there will be auother Tam- many split. It was announced that a meeting of the executive committee of district leaders will be held Thursday, at which time Mr, Nixon’s action will be acted upon, There were numerous rumors about the hall regarding the future policy of the organization. The most per sistent one, and one that wasindors- ed by several leaders, was that there would be no actual leader of Tam- many Hall for some time to come. This was coupled with a rumor that the finance committee would be abol- ished, as well us the chairmanship of this committee, The chairman who is now Louis Nixon, and was Rich ard Croker, has always been the lead- er of Tammany Hall, and, as such, had the handling the funds of the or- ganization in the political campaigns. V. D. Snyder Pleads Guilty. On Wednesday last, V. D, Snyder and F. W. Stewart, president and vice-president of the “Union Whole- sale Company,’ with headquarters in Kansas City, pleaded guilty in the federal, court there to three indict- ments charging them with making fraudulent use of the mails, Sentence will be passed next Monday. The federal authorities who have been working up the caseagainst the menforsome time characterize the general scheme of the men as one of the biggest frauds that has ever been operated through the mails. The scheme was thoroughly aired ia the civil courte, whére some of the victims brought suit. The concern was regularly ficorporated, and the statement of the secretary of state that the firm had a capital stock of $58,000 gave them a rating. The firm dealt in books and adver- tised for persons to take charge of branch agencies. Correspondents were equired to bring a letter of credit or draft for $800 or $1,000 t6 cover the cost of books with which busi- ness. The prospective promised a salary on eund he sold a certain amount‘ The books proved to: be: worthless and utterly unsalable. When any of those who were caught made trouble they were sued for dam: Such a suit brought by Stewart is now pend- ing in the federal court against W.S. Corby, who caused Stewart's arrest the federal authorities in Denver. Snyder was, arrested in Chicago a month ago.

The entire field, including time of the runs, shape of the course, qualifications of contestants, conditions of entry, fa- cilities for construction, repair and experiments, allowance for size of machines and weight of engines, bearing of weather conditions, was gone over and tentative rules decided upon, These rules will have to be submitted to the sub-committee of the executive committee and to the executive committee itself before they can be made pubfic in their en- tirety. It has been decided that the sub-committee will submit drafts of the rules to engineers, students, aeronauts and aeronautical societies in America and Europe and obtain their views on the subject, changing the rules if that cou seems best. It was decided definitely that the $200,000 appropriated for the contest by the board of directors of the ex- position should be divided as follows: $100,090 for a grand capital prize, $50,000 to be divided into a number of subsidiary prizes, $50,000 devoted to the conduct of the competition and the payment of its expenses, A figure eight course has been de- cided upon as the aerial speedway over which all flights in competition shall be winged, The course has been laid out by the experts, with its tocus marked by a huge captive the Washington university tract of the exposition site, and its elliptical or- bits the and balloon above outward over open the southeast the Captive balloons will in- dicate the measurement of ten miles in the air, over which distance the s ST Ny i Me shortest: ave erage time of a series of trials to capture the fortune that has been hung up in the midheavens by the world’s fair management. TELLS WHEN RICHES CURSE, sweep country to northwest, John D, Rockefeller, Jr., Discusses Wealth and Salvation Before His Bible Class, “Riches do not bar one from salva- tion. Salvation depends on whether the man possesses the gold or the gold possesses him.” Thus, epigrammatically, John D. Rockefeller, Jv., who some day will in- herit a fortune of more than 3300,000,- 000, himself before the young men’s Bible class in the Fifth Avenue Baptist church at New York city. Mr. Rockefeller has heretofore avoided touching on the subject of riches in his Sunday talks to his Bible "When Jesus said that it was as im- possible for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven as it was for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, in my opinion He did not mean that His words were to be construed in the literal, broad sense, “If ambition and pleasure are the ruling passions of one’s life they should be thrown aside. Christ should come first. If the rich man places his possessions first he cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven. “But the possession of wealth will not bar one from Heaven. It is the improper use of it, The improper use of any ability or earthly possession is equally offensive in the sight of God.” NEW RECORD IN KLEPTOMANIA expressed Man of Wealth and Position Arrested in Paris for Cutting Ripbons from Women's Dresses, A curious incident occurred on the boulevards of Paris the other day. While a erowd was watching a cine- matograph a man attempted tocut the ribbons attached to a woman’s reti- cule. He was arrested as a thief. At the police station he gave proof that he was a man of wealth and position. When questioned by the commissary of police the prisoner indignantly de- nied that his intention was to steal the reticule, but declared that he could not resist the temptation to take the ribbons. He said he carried scissors with him to cut ribbons off women's dresses when he had an opportunity. The truth of his statement was proved by the discovery in his apartment of thousands of pieces of ribbons. After indemnifying the woman he was re- leased on promising not to begin again. Points About Life Insurance, _ Talking about life iinsurance carried by President Roosevelt—between $75,- 000 and $80,000—it is said that Senator Depew has $500,000, George W. Vander- bilt $1,000,000, and John Wanamaker $1,500,000. There are numerous “risks” of $100,000 to °$500,000, says the Chi- eago Inter Ocean, but when we come down to the plain people the man who can carry $5,000 and feel easy when the premiums are due is probably as happy as any of the others. — : Chieago Women’s The it SS $4 BES The Kind You Have Always Bought, and which has beem in use for over 30 years, has borne the signatnre of and has been made under his pere YL, sonal supervision since its infancy.
