YOUNG GIRL HAS HIGH TITLE
Pretty Malden of Seventeen Is Holder j
of the Oldest Barony in
England.
One of the most Interesting of this
year’s English debutantes is the Baro
ness Beaumont, who, though not much
over seventeen years old and the
youngest peeress but one of the seven
teen who hold the distinction by their
own right in the British peerage, is
the premier baroness of England and
has already figured in two corona
Mona Josephine Tempest Stapleton,
to give the young girl her full name,
is the eldest daughter of the late Miles j
Stapleton, tenth baronet. Wljen she
was but a year old her father was ac
cidentally killed when shooting, and
for the time the title became extinct.
About three tveeks after, another little
sister appeared on the scene. As there
was no male heir to the title. Queen
Victoria called the peerage out of
%
Baroness Beaumont.
abeyance and Mona Stapleton became
Baroness Beaumont in her own right.
She and her sister, the Honorable
Ivy Stapleton, who is the present heir
to the title, have lived ideal children’s
lives at the baroness’s splendid castle
in Yorkshire, Carlton Towers. All the
responsibilities of her position have
been taken off her youthful shoulders
by her mother, and the only occasions
when it has literally weighed on her
were when she had to take her place,
clothed in hot red velvet and fur,
among the barons in Westminster Ab
bey for King Edw'ard’s coronation in
1902 and again last year at King
George’s. At the first ceremony she
was Just eight years old and had to be
accompanied by a nurse, and the stuf
fy abbey, her clothes and the long
service, of which she could hear little
and understand nothing, were most
wearisome to the child accustomed all
her life to an outdoor country life.
Probably she enjoyed King George’s
coronation a little more, as she had
reached the age when most girls real
ize something of thier own import
ance.
INVISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE
Cold of Great Value in the Aggregate
Is Recovered Through a New
Process.
In California gold mining the sep
arating apparatus of the most modern
type of dredge is mounted on the all j
steel body of a specially adapted shov-1
el car, on trucks resting on a railroad
track laid on the bedrock. Ti. 'se
trucks are very heavy and are so de
signed as to provide, while digging, a
bedrock base of twenty by twenty-six
feet.
The dipper, called in foreign coun
tries a bucket, has a capacity of two
cubic yards, or over, and a speed limit
of about two per minute. It can swing
the whole circle, says the Rosary Mag
azine, and can make a cut fifty feet
wide.
It digs, when required, eight feet
below the track, opens and closes auto
matically at the right points, taking
In everything from grass roots to bed
rock, including boulders two and a
half feet in diameter, which readily
pass through treatment, and handling j
those of five tons weight with ease
and celerity.
The proportion of microscopic gold
contained in placer ground is astonish
ing. Black sand from the waste from
an undercurrent or sluice, after all
gold had been extracted that could be
saved with riffles and quicksilver was
used in ordinary placer operations, al
most always shows the presence of
microscopic gold. Incomple'e tests of
surface gravel below the mills at Black
Hawk, Colorado, indicated that nine
tenths of the gold was of microscopic
fineness.
The truth Is that the bulk, certainly
not less than 75 pnr cent, of all the
gold in alluvial di posits, consists of
bits so small as to be not only en
tirely unsavable by any of the de
vices employed In the past, but, ex
cepting perhaps a very small percen
tagc, invisible to the human eye. The
dredge and the modern separator are
now extracting this gold and adding
it to the world’s supply of the precious
metal.

CUL. L. PEARCE
CANDIDATE FOR
A SECOND TERM
COUNTY JUDGE
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27
No doubt you have often heard it said by
my opponent’s friends that, “Pearce buiit good
roads and good bridges, and was progressive,
but he spent too much money.”
Such statements are not correct and are
misleading. Here are the figures, as shown by
the County Records, showing the total expen
ditures of all County Funds, viz: County Gen
eral, Pauper, Bridge, Road District, Special
Road, and County Examiner Funds, as follows:
Pearce’s First Year,o0n.,,.,“§$48,752.80
Pearce’s 2nd Year"i'l'"$47,492.79
Craig’s First Year ,o°nv.v'.y',99'° $44,815.27
Thus you see, comparing my first year
with Judge Craig's first year, you will find that
for every $20 spent by me, he spent $18.38;
and comparing my second year with Judge
Craig's first year, you will find that for every
$20 spent by me, he spent $18.91.
Taking into consideration the unallowed
claims left on the docket by my predecessor,
which had to be allowed during my first term,
and then consider the difference in the cost of
the good roads work, the construction of some
high-grade bridges, the improvements made on
the court house and on the poorfarm, equipping
for the convict road work and the camps, and
other things of a similar nature, all of which
are of PERMANENT VALUE TO THE COUNTY,
and you will find that my administration was
not only conservative and economical but that
I GOT A10RE AND BETTER RESULTS THAN
JUDGE CRAIG FOR EVERY DOLLAR SPENT.
THINGS TO CONSIDER:
SI EEL BRIDGES at a cost of approximately $7,000.00.
During his first year he built TWO bridges (which I had
started) at a cost of about $3,000.00.
I re-built and re-floored the Batesville Steel Bridge
at a cost of about $1,100.00.
During my term, sewerage was put in the courthouse
and other PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS made, at a cost
of about $2,000.00. Judge Craig HAS DONE NOTHING
ALONG THIS LINE.
I purchased some land, did some clearing and made
other PEHANENT IflPROVEMENTS on the County Poor
Farm at a cost of more than $500.00. WHAT HAS JUDGE
CRAIG DONE?
I took the convicts out of jail and put them on the
public roads, and built MORE GOOD ROADS with them '
than was ever built in the county in the same time.
I solicited and received private aid on building county
bridges and roads to the -
