VF HERE are three 'reasons-one about as strong as
as the other-why we can control so much of the

we show are of a standard of construction that
put into one word means best. The lacquer is perfect,

we buy brass beds on the same lines as the wholesale

that's about what the ordinary retailer pays his whole
saler. Here's evidence.

THE . E. LEE 8TATUk
TWO 0POSENG VINWB OF TE0
CASE I Z I Tl
Gen.le Declared to U. No "Traitor"
-Patrick He.ry Named
in Hi4 Stead.
T the .er nw The ve.isg star:
I regret that any opposition should be 1
made to the placing of a statue of Gen. a
Robert E. Lee In the Capitol. that any one t
should become so lost to a sense of Justice t
and honor as to attempt to cast aspersions 1
upon a man whose lips are closed In death.
During the civil war and the reconstruction t
period there was some license permitted in
the use of the words "rebel" and "tfaitor."
But there is a time -when the elements of a
hatred and discord should be cast into ob
livion, and a spirit of amity, fraternity and
justice should prevail. Out of the dreadful
conflict between warring states a new na
tion was born, a new citizenship was creat
ed, new rights and duties arose.
The C0 itifon of'the United States do
fines treason. as levying wai against , the
country or giving aid and comfort to its
enemies. This provision, like all others of
Its kind. must be construed in the light of
attending circumstances. No court in this
country has ever defined treason so. as to
implicate Gen. Lee, or any officer, soldier or
member of the confederate government.
From the adoption of the Constitution until
the war between the states, some of the
ablest legal minds of the country contended 1
that the states might secede from the union c
at will. Benedict Arnold. who attempted to
betray West Point to the British, and Aa
ron Burr. who attempted to incite an insur- t
rection In the southwest, were traitors; ,be
cause, while owing allegiance to the coun
try-and the former was an officer of the
Continental army-they were recreant to
their trusts. But in ,Gen. Lee's case the
facts were different. He gave up his com
mission, renounced his allegiance to the 1
United States and joined In an organized
government which sought to secure the in- i
dependene of the confederate states. The
confederate government did not levy. war
against the United States; it simply equip
ped an army and navy as an incident of its
right as a belligerent power and employed
the land and naval forces so organized to 4
maintain and perpetuate its existence and
to secure independence. There is an ob- t
vious and well defined distinction between I
waging war to assert independence on be
half of seceding states, and an attempt to I
overthrow and supplant an established gov.
ernment.
The confederate states occupied with ref
erence to the United States precisely the
same position as that occupied by the Cu
ban insurgents in relation to Spain.
The war maintained by the confederate
government was chiefly defensive. Offen
sive operatons-as the Invasion of Penn
sylvania. for instancec-were mere incidents
of warfare. But the confederate govern
ment neither desired nor sought the per
manent overthrow of the United States gov
ernment, nor a conquest of territory.
Gen. Lee can be termed a rebel or in
surgent, since he was engaged in rebellion
against the authority of the federal gov
ernment in the seceding southern states.
But he was in no sense a traitor. His
sword was never stained with dishonor; he
betrayed no trust, but acted upon an hon
est belief that the southern states had a
right under the Constitution to secede from
the Union. And throughout the contest
he acted in accordance with the laws of -
civilized warrfare and in the mode recog
nized by public international law for the
separation of states from the mother coun
try for the purpose of attaining independ
ence. When he played his part in a great
tragedy the question of the right of states
to secede from the Union was open and 9
clearly debatable. Now, however, the e
harsh agencies of war have hammered into
the Constitution a force which cannot be
doubted, misconstrued or ignored. Gen.
Lee was a typical American. He belongs
to the nation. His name and fame are the
heritage of our people. The nation re- l
ceived him again; It welcomed him back I
again, with his virtues and his shortcom
ings. GEORGE A. BENHAM.
Patrick Henry, Not Robert E. Lee.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
During the last administration a proposi- I
tion was made to pension ex-confederate t
soldiers. The southern press as a body
deprecated the idea, and in its comments a
fine self-respecting spirit was manifested.
In one instance I recall humor added force
to the expression of disapproval, the writ- J
er's words being to the effect that a pen- I
sion was a' reward bestowed by a grateful t
government for support of that govern- t
ment, and adding that he was at a loss to C
know what support he, an ex-confederate, I
had given the United States. t
This argument covers the ground of the
"Lee statue" case. What support did Rob
ert E. Lee give the United States govern
mnent that his statue should occupy a place
in the United States Capitol?
It is surprising to firnd the long-over
thrown comparison of Lee to Washington
-still repeated. The civil war was not a
struggle against taxation without repre
sentation.
"Thrice is he armed that hath his quar- I
rel just!" Defeat may be said to have
been foreshadowed in the line. penned by
Lee to his sister: "We are now in a state
of revolution, into which Virginia, after a
long struggle, has been drawn; and though
I recognize no necessity for this state of'
things and would have forborne and
pleaded to the end for redress of griev
ances, real or supposed, yet in my own
person I had to meet the question whether I
I should take part against my native i
state." Married to the daughter of Wash. 4
ington's adopted child, he led the army of
secession that was to bring to naught I
Washington's moist cherished enterprise. I
Not only is the "Farewell Address" mainly
composed of intensely earnest counsel bear
ing on the perpetuation of the Union, but
we find Light Horse Harry Lee, the father
of Robert E. Lee, in his oration oni the I
death of Washington, putting the dead
hero's parting admonition into words like
these: "Sons of America, rely on your
selves only; be Americans in thought and 4
deed. Thus will you give immortality toc
that union which was the constant object
of my terrestrial labors."
General E. Porter Alexander of ox-con-i
federate famne, in his address at the con- .
tennial of West Point, June 9, 1902, said:
"The right to secede, the stake for which
we fought so desperaltely, were it now of
fered us as a gift, we would reject as we
would a proposition of suicide!"
From the southern or the northern stand- I
point, the associatlons connected with the
proposed statue are unhappy. But the
Capitol of the United States would be a
most fitting harbor for an Image of that
great patriot whose name, when coupled
with Washington's, arouses no sense of in
congruity, Patrick Henry, and when hisI
cry, "heard round the world," "Give me
liberty or death!" is recalled, let It not be
forgotten that his love of country found
expression In the passionate exclamation,
"I am no longer a Virginian; I am an Amer

commodated There.
A man wearing strpei carrying a
Ighted lantesa, leading Se,U#ormed guard
.rmed with a Wineae riie-aoeadiag 4
he stairs at the Trent . J., peniten
lary, was the scene wttnsed . last night
y the guards who escorted the convicts I
rom this city to the prisbn. There were
hirteen prisoners In - the .pafty, only one
f them, Harry A. Barrow, being white. I
tbout this time last year he was employed
a dsiurtng .elark In the census omce.
Ie had been in the prison but a few inin=
tes when the change he had undergone
was so complete that the guards hardly
new him wfien he appeared i -the omcice.
The trip from here to Trenton was an
noeventful one. Most of the prisoners were
dpplied with a small smbant-of cash and
hey patrpnize4 the ageftt or the Union
tews Company on the train until his stock
f candy and fruit was almost depleted.
'hen there came near being trouble, for
ne of the women copvtcts complained of
Ilneee. She managed to stand the trip,
Lowever, without the necessity of calling
doctor, and was in apphi-ently good health
,nd spirits when the penitentiary was
eached. There was - only:. one prisoner,
'Buddy" Nelson, of the thirteen, who had
eon in a penitentiary before. He had re
ently returned from Moundeville.
"I'm going up again" he remarked, "and
know it's no use to k,ik ,but this Is one
line that I'm Innocent.
Interesting to th Women.
The two women in the pa'rty, Rosie Bris
oe and Lisie Tillman, had never been
way from the city before and the trip
ras an- interesting one to them. On the
ray to Trenton they assisted In the sing
ng and seemed light hearted until the
onductor entered the car and announced:
The next stop is at Trenton junction."
Three miles away was the prison.
"I wonder what kind 'of a place It .is?"
one of them Inquired.
Trenton Junction was reached In a few
ainutes, and from Trenton station the trip
o the prison was made-iq..a 'bus.
"Is that the only color you have down
here?" shouted'a guard upon the arrival of
party.
The prisoners had been admonished to
[eep quiet, and the sight of the big prison
nuilding had the effect of subduing the un
ucky thirteen. Reaching the warden's of
Ice, the prisoners were required to give up
that little money they had, and they were
hen taken to the bath and the barber. A
'ew minutes later they appeared in the
ifice, and Were given positions facing the
rall. One at a time .they appeared at the
aptain's desk, gave their, names and an
wered the questions put to them. They
vere wearing the striped uniform of the
rison. Having gone through these pre
Iminaries, they were shown to a part of
he prison where new arr> ls are detained
wo weeks before the condition of their
iealth is passed upon. This plan has been
ollowed since a case of smallpox developed
n the prison several months ago. The
rison authorities used terolp measures at
hat time, and no othgr c. es developed.
Dvery room in the sever' :vings of the
tructure was fumigated, and the prisoners
rere thoroughly disinfected aid vaccinated.
Beforms Inalgur'ted.
It is the custom of the-prieon officials to
ise the clippers on the hair of the prisoners
rhen they are admitted. This Is done as a
anitary measure, but the hair is not given
uch treatment afterward. Under the pres
nt superintendent a *utber of reforms
tave been Inaugurated,' and the prisoners
tre not reminded at every tprn that they
re being punished for wropgdoing. The
ockstep has been aboliShed and the. mill
ary step substituted. Me are furnished
n the cells.
"The colored people who come here from
Jashington," remarked one of the keepers,
'give more trouble thati any other class.
['hey think we don't know how to run the
rison." He added that it takes but a short
ime to teach them to the contrary. With
nany of the obstreperous ones the dungeon
s resorted to, and they soon get tired of
uch treatment.
Another Prison Necessary.
It is probable that the Department of =
ustice will have to look out for another
rison for the accommodation of the Dis
rict convicts. Warden Osborne sent word E
o Waruen Harris that he could not ac
ommodate any more women prisoners. He
as cell room for only twenty-nine, and
here are now thirty-three of them in the I
rison. They are about equally divided as C
o color. One white woman there has I
pent thirty years in the prison and is In
erfect health. She was married at the
.ge of seventeen and was arrested shortly
.fter her marriage for poisoning her hus- z
mand. A life sentence was imposed upon t
ter, but It Is believed she will be pardoned a
Luring the next few years. Brockway,
he noted counterfeiter, is to be released ~
rom the prison before the close of thec
mresent year. He Is now eighty-two yearst
Id. When he was sentenced to the peni-t
entlary It was thought he would live but a
,short time, but he Is In splendid health,a
Lnd the prison officials would not be sur- z
mrised If he again gets in trouble. Therei
Lre now 1,061 prisoners serving time In <
he penitentiary. The men are permitted
o read in their cells every evening until e
:30 o'clock, when the lights are extin- I
auished. They get up about 5:80 In the I
norning and are served three meals a
lay, In view of Warden Osborne's mesa- a
age regarding the female prisoners, it 1s X
robable that all the prisoners will be sent
o some other institution. t

THE WOI
THUNDER
A Twenty-Stamp
Group, One of 1
The Idaho Legisla
Road
Thunder Mountain is probably the
1 best advertised mining camp ever dis
covered in the United States, and there
are two peculiarities of this advertis
ing which are practically without a
parallel in either the history of adver
/ tisinCor of mining.
1 In the first place Thunder Mountain
was advertised in spite of Itself; In
/ spite of the efforts of interested parties
1 to keep the facts of the enormous rich
ness of the territory from the public.
/ When the news could no longer be
/ kept back, an organized effort was made
by an interested clique to decry and
/ disparage the statements made by prac
tical miners of the richness of Thun
der Mountain. In short, every effort
/ was made by interested persons to keep
the outside public from entering this
rich field until its best properties were
1 appropriated. . And this effort was In
part successful. It could not, however.
affect the work of those already on the
/ ground, and to this fact is due the pos
session of one of the richest properties
in the district by the Thunder Moun
M tain Consolidated Gold Mining and Mill
/ ing Company, whose agent and general..
manager, Mr. C. J. Perkins, was on the
ground during the summer of 1902, and
1 made a thorough examination and care
ful selection of the property now known
as the Rio Grande Group.
The Gold in Thunder Mountain
Exceeds All Estimates.
The second peculiar feature of the
advertising of the Thunder Mountain
gold field is that every statement made
concerning it has been exceeded by the
facts.
When the enormous extent of these
P great gold fields was announced, the
statement was laughed at by men who
knew California, Nevada, Colorado,
Montana and other mining centers.
They said: "There may be a good mine
or two, perhaps, in Thunder Mountain,
but a mineralized area of forty square
miles was a mere fairy tale. It wasn't
possible."
Then came the report to the Govern
ment of the Surveyor General of the
State of Idaho, stating that "the Thun
der Mountain region, covering an ap
-proximate area of 4,000 square miles,
is certain doon to be known as the rich
est mineral district in the United
States." The mineralized area multi
1 plied one hundred times, not by mining
enthusiasts, but by a Government offi
cial, whose words are weighed and to be
answered for.
It was the same with the value of the
ore body. "Just a very ordinary prop
osition of low-grade ore," the hfred de
tractors of Thunder Mountain said,
"running a few dollars a ton."
But there has not been a single In
stance in which development by tunnel
and cross cuts has not seen values mul
tiplied with every few feet of work, and
ore running from $16.00 to more than a
1 thousand dollars per ton; anu free-mill
ing ore, the easiest to mine and the
cheapest to reduce-ore that can be
crushed at the rate of eight tons to the
DOG FIGHT INTERRUPTED.
portsmen Involved Arrested, but Re
leased by Magistrate.
The citizens of Takoma Park are wrought
p over a "dog fight" which recently oc
urred within the corporate limits. Accord
ag to information received, a covered
ragon crossed the District line a recent
umday afternoon, which contaiud several
tn and and one or two dogs which were
take part in a scheduled contest. As soon
a the teamn had crossed to the Maryland
de ma parties in the wagon komediately
mmenieed to throw the covers and side
rtains aside and to enjoy the fresh coun
y aIr. The unusual incident, it is said, at
acted the attention of Bailiff George Day,
d when he saw a thoroughbred 'bulldog"
ppear in full view, after having been re
oved from its covering, his suspicions
ere aroused and he immediately start'ed
n a tour of investigation.
Soon after crossing the District line, it Is
Id, the wagon stopped at the residence of
Takoma. citizen on Carroll avenue. The
tire party then proceeded to the commo
us barn in the rear of the residence and
rangements were made for a good a.fter
ons sport.
Seeing at a glance what was In prospect,
e bailiff, It is said, notified Bailiff Samuel
uinn, and, after deputizing his brother,
~harles Day, made read'y to arrest the
arties, should it be necessary in order to
ndicate the law. Together with his as
stant's the leader of the official party ap
oadied' the barn where the affray was in
rogress and after making sure that a
ght was in progress, the Invading party
rrounded the promoters of the "sport"
d arrested the entire gathering of sports
en. Seven men were in the party, and
ey all submitted to the ballff, but not
fore he threatened to kiil the dogs if the
gtng did not cease. Betting had been
'ee as to which dog would win the battle,
t iWhen the raid was made no mney
uld be found. One of the dogs, It was de
red, was the property of the owner of
e premises on which the fight oourred,
'hile the other is owned by a resident of
ashington. Both the nimal= were thor- I
ghbreds and had just entered on the first I
ands when the progress of the battle was
Eterrupted,
he bailiffs with their seven prisoners re- I
mired to the residence of the mayor, but I
that hour, which was but siortly after I
o'clock, he had not returned from t
uroh in the city. From there the alleged1
w breakers were taken to the residence

Lace they were informed that It was Sun
t, and as he did not care to try the case I
iat day, he directed the release of the ac- I
sed men and permitted them to go un
mised.
Tis action has been criticised in the. l
wn, and the bailifs have refused to act
their official capacity in eonsquence. It
not. regarded as probable that the cas-t
l be reopened.

gold values entirely saved on the plates.
So wonderful is this gold field that
it seems as if exaggeration concerning
it is Impossible. The plain facts out
run all fancies. The bright gold out
weighs all imaginary estimates, how
ever extravagant they may seem to be.
Wonderful as' all this Is, the truth
might have been deduced from one sim
ple and well-known fact.
$6oo,000,00o Taken Out of
Thunder Mountain.
Since the first discoveries of gold in
Idaho In 1856, approximately $600.000,
000 in gold have been taken out of the
sand and gravel of the creeks and
streams which border Thunder Moun
tain on the east, west and south. Where
did this gold come from? It was loose
gold washed down from some enormous
lode, of which It was an Insignificant
part. Where was the lode? Miners
sought it .apd In vain. The geological
formation of Thunder Mountain was
such that they knew it could not come
from that source. At least they thought
they knew. But where else could It
come from? This question drove min
ers at last to put away all preconceived
theories of the distribution of gold and
to seek the mother lode in Thunder
Mountain. They found it there-great
veins and dykes of soft porphyritic rock,
Mdden under the detritus of centuries
seamed through and through with gold.
It Is right in the heart of this rich
district that the Rio Grande Group.
owned by the Thunder Mountain Con
solidated Gold Mining and Milling Com
pany, is located
Situated at the foot of Rainbow Peak,
on the edge of Sugar Creek, the prop
erty Is Ideally located for mining and
milling operations. Water in abundance
skirts the property. Tall timber for
buildings and mining work covers the
ground. Every requisite for economic
mining on a large scale Is right at hand.
The six connecting claims, covering
120 acres, are crossed on their widest
part by two great veins of gold-bearing
ore- aggregating over sixty feet in
width.
$13,000,000 in Sight.
One of these veins, more than thirty
feet wide, has been explored for 1,600
feet and contains about 2,000.000 tons
of free-milling gold ore, having values
at the surface of $8.00 per ton, and giv
ing a net bullion value of $13,000.000.
This is demonstrable, and, large as the
showing is, It is probably insignificant
compared with the actual richness of
the property. The vein, explored for
1,800 feet, has still another 1,800 feet to
run before it reaches the, boundary of
the claims. This alone should double
the value given. The other unexplo=ed
vein, over thirty feet in width, shows
the same surface richness, and can
easily make the property four times as
rich as the actual exploration of the
one-half of one vein shows. And then,
again, every mine in Thunder Mouna
tain, without a single exception, has
shown greatly increased gold values as
the tunnels have been pushed Into the
mountain. The lowest of these in
creased values would double the present
surface value of the Rio Grande ore.
The highest of these increased values
would multiply it more than a hundred
times.

twenty-stamp mill alone can earn 36
per cent per annum for a lifetime on
the entire capitalisstion of the com
pany at par. And this earning power is
based upon the minimum value of the
ore, $8.00 per ton, and the minimum
value of the property represented by the
1.800 feet of the vein already explored
wtth its 2,000.000 tons of gold-bearing
ore.
$20,000 for a Road.
The Legislature of the State of Idaho
has just granted $20,000 for the com
pletion of the Government road to the
town of Roosevelt. the mining center
of Thunder Mountain. The owners if
The Dewey mine agree to add $2D.c00
more, if necessary, to rapidly domplete
the road. For the 100-stamp mill of
The Dewey mine is Waiting at the near
est railroad point for the completion
of the wagon road by which It will be
hauled to the mine. The twenty-stamp
mill of the Thunder Mountain Consoli
dated Gold Minung and Milling Com
pany will follow the Dewey mill into
the territory as soon as the road is
open.
But the Rio Grande Group demands a
mill as large as the Dewey to ades
quately develop the rich resources of
the property, and It is the purpose of
the Thunder Mountain Consolidated
Gold Mining and Milling Company to
rapidly increase the capacity of its
twenty-stamp mill to 100 stamps. To do
this, and do It quickly, there Is now
offered a limited amount of the com
psuy's stock
At 40 Cents Per Share,
par value $1.00, full paid and non
assessable.
It is reasonable to suppose that with
the operation of the company's mill the
stock will at once go to par. Stocks
similarly sold have gone to $8.00 per
share under the same conditions. The
present opportunity for investment ts
one, therefore, that no shrewd investor
should overlook or allow to pass with
out at least examination. Eastern Of

pany, 346 Broadway, New York.
Checks for subscription should
be drawn to the order of WIL

for less than 100 shares.
