His wooden stump Isn't loaded with silverthat's not the way he got his name; he discovered the Sliver Peg mine,, which has yielded tTiOO.OOO, and that gave him the name.

He be gan hla "checkered career" by, blowing oft hla left leg while hunting rabbits as a boy in Iowa. In 1879 he went weet and suc cumbed to the mining fever, which never . leaves a man's veins once the microbe has entered. He was present during the Iead vllle excitement, he was at Creede, he helped develop Cripple Creek, he found rich mines In California, ha has discovered enormously wealthy properties In Arlsona. He faund the Silver Peg at Mosquito pasa, Park county, Colorado, and a few years later found a rich mine In Arlsona, which he also named Silver Peg.

He ate supper once with an Indian , chief In Colorado and to this day he Is not sure that he did not eat dog. He fell Into the Colorado river In the dark and drifted on a log for two miles before he could reach the shore. Once when he found a good prospect In the mountains and dug six months without coming buck to civilisation his partner concluded he was dead and sold a good mine they owned. He has Si Slocum beat a mile, for he was kicked in the stomach by a mule and his comrades laid him out. for dead.

Five years ago the old man attracted considerable attention on the part of the press by a trip he mode on foot from Cook's Peak, Aris.. to Joplin.. Mo. Ho struck vein of lead ore at Cook's Peak and with two. sacks of It on burros he tramped his way across the . country to Joplin to Interest lead mine operators there They told him the stuff looked like beeswax and they wanted nothing to do with It. Silver Peg says he later sold the prop erty to the Louisville & Jefferson Mining company, which has taken out 500,000. No Fortune for Himself.

"When I haven't enough money to buy a grubstake, I'll work for nothing, sorting ore or doing anything around a mine.

If granted certain guarantees. The state ment says: "For more then sevsn years I have borne In silence the slanders and persecutions of those who robbed me of what heaven knows was my own. and who, to conceal that crime against liberty and for no other reason, tndlctsd and drove me Into exile. I trust an indulgent public wilt permit me now to Break that silence. "Commonwealth Attorney Robert B. Franklin knows that I bare fully testified In the Powers case by deposition. This testimony is a part of the record In the case and la accessible to him at all times. He knows, too, that he had a right to cross-examine me at the time that I gave It, and, did not do so. He knows that neither he nor any other officer, or com bination of offlcers In Kentucky has the legal power to grant such Immunity, and that were I to return under such promise ef Immunity.

The law ts olear that Mr. Franklin, or any other officer, has no power to promise Immunity. "But Inasmuch as Mr. Franklin abounds In propositions and promisee, and aeema enamored of the Idea that he can do things, I will say this: If he wilt. In some way. provide an absolute guaranty not merely a promise a guaranty that will Inspire confidence of sensible, level-headed men, a guaranty the spirit of which may not be violated though the letter be absolved, that I will be given a fair and Impartial trial, I will gladly return to Kentucky and sub mit te trial. . .

U-The flrat consid erable transfer of currency to the west for the movement of crops and other interior needs of the country waa made by the subtreasury today. Five hundred thousand dollars waa transferred to Chi cago and another $600,000 to Ban Francisco. Secretary of the. Treaaury Cortelyou an nounced today a new plan of depositing government funda In New York, Boaton and other cltlea to afford relief to the money market In the approaching crop movement period. Secretary Cortelyou will, com mencing next week, plaoe each week at such points in the cyuntry as he shall designate government funda to such an amount as he deeny sufficient to prevent an acuta monetary atrlngency and pos sible panic when te demand for money Is greatest at the height of the crop move ment. Statement of Flan. The nlan for inanclal relief was made known today In tie following official state ment to the Associated Press: nr-tnrv Cortelvou announced today that beginning with next week the Treas ury department will mane eacn ween ior a period of not less than five weeks de- gslta In national banka at New 'York, oston and other polnta, the security re quired to be approved state, municipal and railroads bonds acceptable under the existing requirements of the department, with the understanding that If called for such deposits shall be returned after Jan uary 1 in installments iu ut w yr r ka iMotnnr Thin action is taken to meet the commercial and Industrial needs of the country at tnis n Is believed to be preferable to waiting until a time of acute stringency, when the only alternative would be a large gen eral deposit. The latter policy the ,"e tary desires to supersede by one nim shall have as its ultimate object t he ad justment of ti e operations of the Treasury department as rapidly as may be practic able, under existing law. In such manner as shall preclude their being In any sense a disturbing factor In the business world. . Investigation of the results ottalncd ur.der the old treasury plan of waiting until the last moment and then placl ig a large single amount of government funds in New York disclosed to Secretary Cortelyou that as a rule the placing of a large amount of money, while It really helped, was generally Ul-tlmed and either came too soon or too late. . Under the new plan the secretary will place government funds in amounts large enough to meet the situation. . For this purpose he may use all custom funds, which he Is permitted to do under tho Aldrlch act. and If these funds are not sufficient he will augment them from the available treasury balance, whloh in creases each week after the usual July deficit. . Will Head Off pecalntors. Secretary Cortelyou In placing the gov ernment funds throughout the country win rtenend much upon the bureau re cently established In the Treasury depart ment to inform him where stringencies are being felt most. In this way the funds of the government will be deposited where thoy will effect the greatest benefit. Secretary Cortelyou believes that by not announcing in advance the amounts to be deposited he will prevent speculator from taking advantage of the situation and obtaining money which he believes should go Into other channels. In adopt ing this plan the secretary gave careful consideration to the question of gold ox ports, and he Is of the opinion that the present measure of relief will do much to prevent a movement of gold to Europe. In previous years the sudden outpour of money from the national treasury when a crop moving stringency was absorbing all available funds produced a sharp re lief and made a gold export movement possible by the very violence of the re action.
