MINES WITHMILLIONS INTHEM fome Scnators Whose Savings Are funk in Mineral-Bearing Earth, TALK WITH SPECULATIVE LEGISLATORS “Carp” Tells of Senatorial Investments in the Gold Reglons of North Carolina—Ex- Senator Tabor, His Mineral and Matrimoniul Ventures, [Copyrighted 1892 by Frank G. C upenter.] WasuINGTON, Feb. 20,—[Special Corre- spondence of Tie Bee,|—The new gold and silver mines which are being developed in Colorado are creating considerablo interesu at Washington. A large pumber of the senators are interested in one way or another in mining, and there are o baker's dozen of them who have tinancial ventures out on gold or silver seas. Sonator Sawyer is still workiug his gold mines near Washington, These are about fi{teen miles up the Potomac, where the senator owns about 400 acres of land and where he has a little stamp mill, ‘which runs aloag pounding the quartz to pleces, but which, up to the present writing, has not made a fortune for its owner. Somo large puggets have been found and somo of the quartz is very rich and for a timo the averago of the stawp mill was §3 a ton. On the whole, however, I understand that the mine has not paid and it is a repetition of the old story of southern miues, I inter- viewed Thomas Edison last summer on the mines of North Carolina and he told me that every farm in the state seemed to have a gold mine, but that none of these mines were valuablo enough to pay for the working. He said the slaves had dug for their masters all of the gold out of the south and that the most of it lay in pockets rather than in large veins, Still, a number of the senators are investing in North Carolina mines, and Sena- tor Spoouer and the late Senator Hearst had, what they considered, a very valuable lead. BSpooner had a number of large nuggets of tho purest of pure gold which he kept on his library table aud showed to his brother sena- tors when they visited bim, There were enourh of these nuggets to have filled a quart measure, and they were of all shapes and of different sizes, Senator Plumb had some {nterests In the south, but he owned some very valuable mines in Colorado and ho 'was, I think, interested in the Little P’itts- burg and other mines at Leadville, A Chat with Senator Teller, I chattea with Senator Teller last night about the Colorado mines. He says a groat deal of fine gold-bearing rock is being gotten out at Cripple Creelkc under the shadow of Pike's Peak and that this prowmises Lo be one of the groat gold camps of the future, Peo- ple are comivg 1u from everywhere to pros- pect and speculate and two rairoads have been surveyed which will open up the region, As it now is, it is only eighteen miies from the railroad and therv will not be much trou- ble o connecting it with the rest of the world. Senator Teller says that the new sil- ver mines which have been opened up at Creede, Col., are of wonderful richness and that the indications are that this locality may become & second Leadville. It is here that Benator Wolcott aua his brother Henry have & wioe which they bought last fall in con- mectiou wilh two other partios for $100,000. They paid £30,000 cash and wera to pay the | remaining $70,000 by the first of next June. Their mino had paid from the start and they had gotten enough out of it by the middle of January to pay the $100,000 for which it was s0ld #0 them, and all that they getnow is pure profit. The mine has turned out thousands of doilars a day, and during the month of January it turned out more than £67,000. The mine cost Senator Wolcott a cash payment of only £7,500, and if it lasts it will make him rich, This will, however, not be the first time he has made money in mines. fle made, it is satd, bevween $100,000 and §200,000 out of & Qune ho bought in Leadville, and his brother and himself are said to be among the shrewdest of investors and speculator Duve Moflatt of Denver's Loss and Gain, Senator Teller says that Dave Moffate, the Denver millionaire, has large interests at Creede and that he is making a big thing out of the mine at Leadyille for which he paid $70,000 shortly before the bank robber bull- dozed him out of that §0,000 with dynamite, and that this mine, instead of being a poor investment, has been an excellent ono. MofTatt, it 1s said, considered 1t worth noth- ing for some time and his friends pitied him and condoled with him about his bud pur- chase, You will remember how the robber drew a pistol on Moffatt in his private room, and with this in onc hund and a bottle of some kind of liquid in the other which he said was nitro-giycerine, chreatened to biow Moftatt and the bauk up unless he would write out him a check on the bank for §20,000 and gev him the money on it. Moffaty looked into the shimug barrcl of the re- volver. Ho glauced with terror ai the curiously shaped bottle of curiously colorved fluid, and, secing that there was nothiug av nis hand with which he coula defend him- self, ho wrote the check and accompanied by the man with the dangerous bottle 1 his hana be walked to the cashior's desk and handed over the check to the cash ier, saylug ina low voice “This man is robbing me.” The cashier, however, tnought he was referring to some new mine he had bought, and his mind went at the time to this §70,000 mine which was then thought to have turned out badly aud be handed the mouney over to Moffatt. Moffatt gave it to the man and be rushed from the bank, and though Moffatt paised o hue and ory he was able to escape” He threw off lus coat in doiug s0, and in 1t the bottle was found, and the supposed nitro-glyceriue turned out to be sweot 0ll, This thief was never discovered, but tne §70,000 mine speculation which prom- ised so poorly,and which indirectly aided the villain, has siucé paid several times as much as Moffat's loss by him, Ex-Senator Tabor and His Mexican Mines, Ex-Senator Tabor of Colorado was in Washington a few days ago, and during bis lluf here he sald that he wus golug to muke a big fortune out of bis Mexicau mines, his suits concerning which lLave just been sot tled in his favor, hese are old mines which are belng reworked, und Tabor paid, 1 am told, $60,000 for his interest in them, and he contracted at the same time to put up stamp mills nud to build such machinery &s woula enable them to go 1n st the side of the moun tain and get right at the greac vein of ore in that way. Tabor put up his stamp wiils, and while Lho miners were digging their way into the side of the hill,io began to work over the refuso oro which had been cast aside as not valuable enough to pay for shipping or re- duction, He found that the output was very lurge aud he wauted to keop ou working his will on this refuse rather than bother about the other part of the mine, und I think iv was upon this action that be was sued for broach of contract. Colorado men tell me thal Tabor is a very shrewd winiag specus lator, aud that Lie is'a careful business man, He is said to be richer now than ever and though he continually loses fortunes, he keeps on making thew. His opera house which was thought to be such an extrava- #ance has turned out to bo the wmost profit- uble investment and it pays a big iuterest-on the bundreds of thousands of dollars which be put into it. He nas other valuable real estate in Denver and his wines are to be found 1u_nearly every part of Colorado. He iumped from poverty to beiug a millionaire n less than @ month and 1t 1s swid he made #15,000 out of the Littie Pittsburg in less than four months. He made a big thing_out of the Matchless mine, made a fortune from the Chrysolite out of which he sold at the right time, and he has kept ahead of the gae during his losing and making from that time to this, Matrimony and the Mitlionaire. Senator Tabor might have had a fair repu- tation as a business man and as a practical millionaire bad he kept out of politics. But he lost his head when he made million in less than & month, and nothing but a spick- span new wife and a famous position would satisfy him, The story of his divorce from the woman with whom he had lived and worked all s life, of his marriage in & jus- tico of the peace's office in St. Louis to a di- vorced woman and the joke which he vperpe- trated upon President Arthur and Washing- tou society when ho brought this woman to Washington and here married her, as it was supposed for the first tume, would make one of the most interesting plays that could be based on American history, For thirty days Tabor was in the senate. I doun’t know how many thousana dollars his life here cost him., His wedding dinner at Willard’s hetel was a most gorgeous one, and the day after tho wedding he sent out cards bound in silver, and then came out in that eorgeous coach which was tho laughing stock of Washing- ton. Mrs. Tabor, No. 2, was very pretty. She was as plump as o milkmaid and her dark liquid eyes were full of fire, [ saw her in the senate gallery regal in diamonds look- inz down at hor new husband senator, who waus trotting about among bis brother sena- tors with 8 big morocco bound autograph album, gotting their signatures for his par- lor table in his mansion in Denver, and I saw her later on in a box 1n Tabor's opera house with two very pretty littlo children beside her, and I nofed that she had grown a little more fleshy and toat she was losing much of her beauty, And whbat has becomo of the first Mrs, Tabor? Made & Million on the Divoree, Any Denver man can tell you, and not a fow of themn will say Lhat she got the best of the bargain after all. In the suiy for alimony which she entered against Labor she was granted with her divorce something like §400,000 worth of Denver reai estate, This was deeded over to her and with the growth of the city it has 50 Increased in value that she is now worth more than §1,000,000., She is a woman of high character and she impresses you as beiug kind, intelligent and moth . 1saw her oo the styeets of Denver several years #go. She has a high forehcad, dark brown hair, black eyes and she looks like o lady. Sho‘moves about in the best socicty of Den- ver aud she is wrapped up in ber son, who is a brignt, intelligent young man. I do not know that Seunator Tavor and she ever meet together, but if ihey do, he must blush for his action toward her. He married hor in Muine, vou know, when hewas a young man, and the two crossed the plains together be- fore thedays of tho raiiroad. When they established *their little store in one of the mining camps, she took in washing to keop the wolf from the door, aud the little board- ing house which they ran was kept by her aud the store from which the grub staking wus done was kept stocked with goods through . Tabor's earuin, Sho was more than Tabor, 1t is fuir Lo suy, the author of s fortunes, and it would have veen less than fair if Tavor bad given ber the half of his millions at the time he got bis divorce, Had he vever had anytbing 1o do with Mrs. Doe or divorce, aud had brought Mrs. Tavor, No. 1, bere to Washington, she would not bave disgraced hiw, and I doubt not that if he had stuck to her he would be a richer man today than he is. As it is, sho is said o bea good busiue-s woman and she under- stands how 1o take care of aud iucrease her fortuua, 1 uuderstand that Tabor is crazy to wet | back to the senate and this recalis tos story of lis brst election, and Low he furnisbed all the money, and Towm Bowen who was elected ut the same time got the loog term and gave bim the shortose. Bowen hus often been represented as baing & very rich man. 'I'ne truth is he bas uever been worth a miilion dollars and though be has had a bundred thousand or 50 ouce or 50 Lwlce, bLis assols Lrw which have nover been representsd by seven fig- ures, He is o man who always puts tho best side outward ana his sanguive heart would mako a 10,000 mins worth £1,000,000 and his blustering swagger would make everyone be- lieve ho was right. Richest Man in Colorado, Iheard a curious story of ex-Senator Bowen yesterday. He lives, you know, at Del Norte and he has one or two good mines which have been noted for their pockets rather than for valuable quartz veins. The trouble with such*mines is you can never tell when they are going to play out. Some- times you strike it very rich and it seems us though you were going to make a fortune in @ month, but before the week is out your pocket Inay bo cxhausted. Bowen ~had struck some very. valuablo finds of this kind. He bad madoe about 00,000 and with his hopeful hieart he supposed the profits would steadily continue and his visions were those of Monto Christo pr of Aladdin when he first tricd the lamp, He took his $200,000 and came to New York to show the brokers of the effote cast bow to do busiuess, and while here in the city he made one or two successful turns and was happier and more hopeful than ever. It was during this time at the Gilsey housp. one cvening—1it must have been after digner—that he metan ad- miring Colorado follow citizen who during tho conversation asked Mr. Bowen as to who was the richest mai in Colorado. Bowen, 80 tho story goes, araw himself \\g to his full six feet and pufting one bund in his vest and waving tho other, said impressively, “My friend, you see before you the richest man in Colorado, and in all probability the man who will evontually be the richest man in the whole world.” A shorttimo after that Sen- utor Bowon’s lucik turned. He found tho offeto cast a little sharper than ho had sup- posed it to be and with a dropping off of his income from his mines ke discovered that his total assets wore made up of mincrul possi- bilities as vet pracileally undiscovered in the wilds of Colorado. He has since, I am told, owned other mines, and he sold ono a short time ago which brought bim in the neighbor- hood of 200,000, He tus investments in the new mining felds and when he was hero in Washington o few: days ago his friends say he was more sanguin@ thun over. iie is o shrewd business man and has unlimited faith in himself und Colgrado.

Ocliltree has been for y ponnected with Mackay us one of bis agents, aud at the tiwe the following lncident cceurred he was in London lrylmlu place soine boias-of a rail- ckay bad hu Texas, Judge | Normile of the United States district court of St. Louis tells me the story. Normile and Ochiltree crossed the ocean together and when the ship arrived av Queenstown they telo- graphed to the four or five principal hotels in London asking them to reserve rooms for them and to answer at Livergool. At Laver- pool they found that everyone of these hotels was full. It was the last of May, the time when London is most crowded, and thoy found when they arrived in London that accommodations could be gotten nowhere, They went to the Langham, but found every room taken and thoy were in despair. Gomg into the wine-toom they sat down, had a vrandy and soda together and discussed the situation. Both wero terribly blue anda for a vime suid nothing. “At last,” said Judge Normile, “I was surprised to seo Ochiltree jump to his feot: His complexion became redder than his hair, his swagger was over- poworing and he cocked that left eyo ®f his as he looked atme and in a vindictive and excited tone said: “Normile, why don’t you getus a room? Blank it, why don’t you got us a room! Why don’t you tell them who I am? Go and say that Tom Ochiltree is here and thoy will give usa room.’ 1 looked at Tom’s red face ard I thought he was crazy, He sat down and ordered an- other brandy acd soda. While wo wero drinking this I concluded there might bo somethiog in his schome. He had letters from President Arthur and I thought I ccvld impose on tho ignoranceof ths clerk., At tho closo of the glass I went out to the oftice and waiting till there was no one at the little door in the grating, I stepped up and beg- ging the pardon of the manager asked him it I could have a word witn him. Ho roplied ‘certainly,’ and asked me to come in, I went in and putting an inaignaot look on my faco, 1 said: #4Sir, 1 have just passed through the wine- room of yourhotel. You pretend to be an American hotel and you have the patronage of Americans. Butsaw in that wine-room a sight that surprised me. I saw thero one of the greatest of America’s military heroes, one of the bravest aud noblest of our great gencrals, sitting alone ané neglected without his supper and bo told me ho had been ro- fused a room in your hotel, 1 refer to Gen iltree,’ * *Gen Ochiluree? said the man, ‘Gen- eral Ochiltree! 1 never heard of any Gen- cral Ochiltree,” ** ‘What, never heard of General Ochiltree? said I ‘Huavo you never heard of General Tom Ochultree! The close friend of I’resi- dent Arthur! He is one of cur most noted social figures and he is one of tho groatest generals we have ever had, Never heara of General Ocbiltree! Why, man, have you never read what vour ypoet laureate, Mr, Tennyson, says about him in that poem in which ho' speaks of our great men{ You must remember the lines: Grantanga Lee, Great O-hiltreo, Mighty ministers of Mars.

Miss Mather deserves a botter play. Fifer's Attack on Our Institutions, Governor Fifer has secured considerabloe attention recently by an unpetuous attack upon American mstitutions, whose down fall he coufidently predic! The governor pos- sesses much natural eloquence, a rather emo- tional temperament and what is especially uaiortunate with that temperamont, a tend- ency to dyspepsia, Yet lie has a sincero hatred of chams and an abhorrencoe of the vulgar display and the brutal power and in- solence of wealth, aud his words of denuncia- tion of his country at the moetingof tne farmers in Joliet were not without a basis of coolness and caleulation, He is a southeroer by birth—a native of Virginia. His early mantood, however, was speut in Obio and there he imbibed' the principles which led hiw into the union army and left him a steadfast republican at the close of the war, But he retains much of the southera spirit, His style of oratory is forvid and impas- sloned, and he has a great deal of the chiy- alry and hospitality which are the boast de- servedly of the people of the south, Stanton was his birthplace. He bas visited 1t once and that siuce he has been governor of Jllinois, It is worth eny man’s time to listen to his account of this expedition, He bad always tbought that be would not return to the old 1es until he could do 50 with some prestige of success iovel and honor won. Lihe most wand- crers he wisbed tor spurs toexhibit ut home, After bis election as governcr he was ready, and toward the end of a pleasure trip wich hiy wife he arranzed that they should wvisit Stantou. At Washingwn he had mentioned this intention and the enterprising corres- pondent had picked up the news aud tele- graphed it broadeast, This was not known to the governor, however, and bis astonish- ment aud perplexity were great when, at a Lmlnl on the road some hours' journey from is destination, he received a telegram from # Stauton man whose name he bad never beard, asking *‘How long will you stay in Stanton ! The governor was st first io- clined to unswer the question as lmpertin lcuuy @s be conceived it Lo bave been put, l After he had cooled down a bit ho was for Tefusing to answer it all, but ho finally con- cluded that the signatufo to tho telegram| might be that of some former acquaintance! whom he had forgotten and replied politely and specifically.

When the train bearing tha governor and ¥ his wife reached Stanton tho entireg citizenship was assembled at tho depot. § 1"lags ripped in the breeze and the local kmmi" was ripping music out of brass. P?lacards of Welcome to FMifer, Governor of Illinois, but Citizen of Virginia” adorned nsplcuous ¥ places. The instant the governor alighted somebody grasped his hand and began a speech of welcome. Applause turned every period into an exclamation point, The govs ornor responded as weil as any man could ve done whose feet had been hoisted so far u terra firma, and then lie and nis trav- nions were hustled into a car- a vast procession o the court » moro specches of welcoma s were made and the governor improved upon his previous responso.
