Last Saturday afternoon as Mrs.
Charles E. Marshall of 20 Pleasant
street with her 10 months old baby in
her arms was crossing the street directly
in front of her house something struck
her on the left shoulder with such force
that she was turned squarely around. The
something proved to be a shot from a
22 calibre rille but so nearly spent that
after burning a hole in her coat it fell to
the ground. She is suffering from a lame
shoulder but feels she is very fortunate
to escape so easily. The shot came from
the direction ol Mr. Pleasant cemetery
and was probably tired by some boys
who were amusing themselves with a
rifle.

And why should'nt he? For probably
no man on the lecture platform has ever
succeeded in portraying the inner
thoughts and feelings of our lives better
than Leland Powers. His impersona
tions of character in his rendering of the
many sided life of David Copperfield,
without accessories of scenery and cast,
are something wonderful; and by his
careful selection of sentiments and situa- i
tions to lie represented, he leaves behind .
valuable moral impressions that can
never ! forgotten. His productions '
appeal at once to the imagination, I
s iniulating' and satisfying it as no mere '
spectacle can ever do. !
This is not only the closing numler of
the Y. M. C. A. lecture Course, but like
wise the best, from both an entertaining
and a literary standpoint, and it is
hoped that on next Monday evening i

The Boston Curb
and Eureka Mi
Very few of the brokers and in
vesting public who are purchasing
heavily Eureka Mines on the Boston
Curb realize the actual valued this
security. This new camp is located
in the jarilla Mountains, New Mex
ico. We are the only brokers, to our
knowledge, who have visited this
new camp.
We have spent thousands of dol
lars in connection with our exami
nation. When we visited the camp
seven months ago, we found three
producing mines. Last month when
we again visited the camp, there
were fifteen producing mines; a mill
ion dollar smelter was running to
: . f. . 1 1 . onn
Bl 1 3 luncaL LiiptU-iiy , uvti ovu milling
claims staked out.
Gold, silver, copper and turquoise
everywhere, values running from
$4-00 to $16,000 per carload. This
camp is directly on the Rock Island
R. R., and with its smelter on the
ground, brings the cost of produc
tion to its lowest possible price.
Eureka Mines Company is a con
solidation of valuable mining pro
perties in this camp.
The Eureka Mines preferred is sell
ing on the Boston Curb from $1 to

stock is selling from 15c to 18c.
For permanent investment, buy 8
per cent, preferred stock. For specu

common stock at any price under
30c. Any broker can buy this stock
