"Wildcat mining stocks are not al-
together useless—or worthless eith-
er," said a broker who handles
cheap mining stocks the other day
to a reporter. "A man has just tele-
phoned to offer me $50 for enough
mining stocks to have a face value
Of $50,000. He wasn't particular what
mining stocks he got if they only had
a face value of $50,000. .1 closed the
cleal and will make money on it too.
What did'he want with such stocks?
Well, I haven't the slightest doubt
that he is getting ready to go
into the bankruptcy court and wants
to show his creditors where his mon-
ey has been dropped. We often get
such requests and are usually able
to till them." During our brief to-
journ n the great camp of Kendall
we have learned that the word "wild-
cat" is not in the vocabulary of the
average citizen but that almost with-
out exception the mining stocks of
this great camp are worth one hun-
dred cents on the dollar.
Soirne Of those Lewistown auto-
mobilists might take a little spin up
to Kendall the greatest gold mining
camp in the United States, and take
a long hungry gaze at the spot where

DEMOCRATS ARE JOYOUS,
Apublican Factional Fight in Ohio
May Mean Victory.
Cleveland. May 15.—The rescinding
of the call for the republican love
feast at Columbus and the consequent
failure of the Tuft and Foraker fac-
tions to get together has greatly en-
couraged democratic leaders in Ohio.
They are of the °Mimi' that they
'lave an excellent chance of, electing
Senator Foraker's successor andfcito
the existing make-up of the legisla-
ture as proof. The present Ohio
house consists 'of 62 republicans, 57
demoCrats and, two independents.
The senate has 18 republicans, 18
democrats and one independent. nito
is classed as a democrat. This gives
the republicans 80 votes, against 78
for the democrats and independents.
The next senator will be elected by
the legislature chosen at the next elec-
tion, and thre are so many districts
in which the vote is close that it may
safely be said that the democrats
have at least as fair a prospect of
overcoming the present republican
lead as the republicans have of in-
creasing it.Five Of the present republican rep-
repsentatives were elected by Plurali-
ties of less than 100. One had a mar-
gin of three vote only: one was
elected by font' votes and one by 12
voteg. The man elected by four
voted for himself and he has three
sons who voted for their father.
Three democrats had pluralities of
less than 1130.In the senate the republicans have
One man who, was chosen by a plur-
ality of 50, while the smallest plural-

only twice during the 24 hours shewas at the bottom of the bay.
It was computed that only one-

and if these figures are correct, they
tend to show the boat could remain
submerged 35 days, provided the food
and fuel supply was sufficient.The Lake also stood the test' well,
although a leak was sprung in the
superstructure. She pumped out
twice, but what proportion of her air
supply was used could not be learn-

RAZORLESS SHAVE! NEXT!
Use Newly Invented 'Paste and
Beard Will Rub Off.
London, May 17.—There is conster-
nation among the barbers. of Eng-
land over the invention of a London-
er named Witherington. He has
made a paste which removes the
beard, without the use of a razor,
in ten minutes.The paste makes the hair so brit-
tle that it can be rubbed off clean
with a wet sponge.No "skin trouble" is guaranteed
and the performance is simply a part
of washing the face upon arising in
the morning.The following advantages are
claimed for the paste:No punctilious barber to ask if
the razor is sharp enough.
. No second man waiting to brush
your hat and ask with his manner
for a tip.You rub on the paste, 'wipe it off
with the sponge and presto! You go
down to coffee and rolls looking like
a man fresh from the hands of the
best barber in London.The cost is about one cent a shave
and tip yourself.The new invention is enjoying It
wide sale and barbers are alarmed.
