A. D. Williams who is in the city
suffering from an injury received last
week while working his ground on
Cooney reports that creek and Killar
ney as having a large number of men
prospecting on all parts.
Miller & Reynolds, who struck good
pay on Killarney about a month ago
have as yet done but little work in the
hole where the pay is, but have been
representing some ground belonging to
them which adjoins the piece where
the pay was struck. Several thaws
have been taken cut of that hole, how
ever, and the pay has held up as good
as ever.
Mr. Williams reports that on his
ground, which is below discovery on
Cooney, he and his partner, Mr. Floyd,
are getting good prospects continually
and he expects to crosscut the creek
before the first of the year. Indications
are getting better in each succeeding
hole and he says he will not be sur
prised if he lands on the pay in a short
time.
High Pensions for
Civil War Veterans
Poughkeepie, N. Y., Oct. 30.—
“Fighting Bob” Evans, retired
rear admiral of the United States
navy, has declared himself as an
advocate of higher pensions for
civil war veterans. Recently he
made a characteristic speech at
the unveiling of a monument to
the 156 New York Volunteer reg
iment at Highland, opposite this
city, in the cource of which he
said:
“Be good to those old men who
fought in the great war that our
Union might be saved. Don’t
give them any. more $13-a-month
bounties. If you are going to
starve the men who all but gave
up their lives for you, it would
be better to do it at once and not
prolong the process day by day
and year by year.”
In closing he said: “If you
give us battleships enough, I as
sure you that we will keep the
peace if we have to fight for it.”
