HlfiHT TO I'KOI'EIITY DISPUTGD.
Helm of Sir * . Priilor Ilrliiff Action to
lllMpoNKCM John Limit.
Attorney John Lindt is not to be allowed
to take possession of the three-story brick
. building at 1021 Broadway , erected by the
Schlltz Brewing company , which was
awarded him by n recent decision of the
supreme court. In addition to an Injunction
in the district court restraining him from
entering Into possession until the applica
tion for a rehearing Is disposed of In the
supreme court , Llndt Is now called upon to
defend another action attacking his title.
Suit has boon commenced In the United
States circuit court by the holrs of the late
Mrs. J'ralor attacking the instrument by
which Llndt claimed to hold title from Mrs.
Pralor.
The plaintiffs in this null are Frank Pra
lor and other heirs of the late Mrs. Anna
Pralor. They make the allegation that
Llndt secured Mrs. Pralor B mark the
woman being unable to write to the deed
: onveylng her equity In the property to
Mrs. Sarah G. Llndt at a tlmo when Mrs.
Pralor's mind was affected by ill health. It
is further alleged that Mrs. Pralor at the
tlmo she Is alleged to have sot her mark to
the deed was near death's door , and , In
fact , was In A state of semi-consciousness
nnd wholly Incapacitated from realizing the
Import of her act. The plaintiffs further al
lege that Llndt is Insolvent and that his
creditors are about to levy upon the prop
erty In question and the rental duo there
from. They ask that a temporary injunc
tion bo issued restraining Llndt from tak
ing possession of the property during the
pendency of the suit , or from mortgaging
It , which they aliened ho is very npt to do
On final hearing tbo court Is naked to Bet
aside and declare null and veld the con
veyance from Mrs. Pralor to Mrs. Llndt.
The history of this litigation in connec
tion with thn building at 1021 Broadnay Is
more , than ordinarily Interesting and is the
only case of Its character in this district.
The property , before it was Improved , was
owned by Mrs. Pralor , a colored woman
who conducted a saloon on West Broadway
where colored people of both sexes used to
congregate. She became Indebted In a largo
sum to the Schlltz Browlnc company fo
beer. The company , in part payment of Its
account , took the lot at 1021 Broadway of
her hands. Shortly after Mrs. Pralor's deatl
Limit produced a deed to the property made
by Mrs. Pralor shortly before her demise
He brought suit to have' the deed to the
brewing company sot aside on the ground
that part of the consideration had beet
liquor , which , under the laws of Iowa , mad
the conveyance null anil void. Ho won th
cnso In tbo district court , and on the brewIng
Ing company appealing the supreme cour
afltrmod the decision of the lower court am
awarded the property to Llndt. Mcantlm
the Schlltz Brewing company had erected a
JO.OOO brick building on the lot which , undo
the ruling of the supreme court , become
the property of the astute attorney.

To those who saw Johnstown nnd the
Jonemaugh valley In June. 1SS9 , c. .ys the
? hlladelphla Times , It doubtless seemed
mposslblo that the submerged and utterly
ruined city could over recover from the
disaster which swept away Its industries ,
lestroyed one-third of its homes nnd not
ess than one-eighth of Its people. And yet
what then seemed Impossible has been more
than accomplished In the short space of ten
years. The dead could not be recalled to
Ife , but the obliterated homes have been
rebuilt , the ruined Industries restored and
extended , and a new , better , nnd large city
occupies the site of the town through which
he waters from the South Fork carried such
havoc ten years ago. The rebuilding of a
city of 40,000 Inhabitants upon the wreck
of a town not more than three-fourths as
populous In the space of a decade constl-
: utes a marvelous example of the indomit
able spirit and resistless energy of the
American peopfe.

MINING IN THE BLACK HILLS
Colorado Capitalists Taking nn Interest in
the Fhonolite Deposits.
EXPRESS GREAT FAITH IN OUTLOOK
Copiicr llcitnnltR licKltinltiK to Attract
Attention llcllcf They Arc
AIIIOMK the lllclivnt In
the World.
DBADWOOD , S. D. , Juno 18. ( Special. )
For some reason It takca n long tlmo to get
outside portles Interested In Black Hills
mining propositions. The principal reason
Is perhaps that them have been too many
unwarranted booms hero which have'given
the country n bad name. The latest Induce
ment to outside capital In the Black Hills
Is the phonollto ore , which has only recently
icon discovered. It commences to appear
that the talk about this belt , located west of
Dcadwood , hno done some good. About
Ifty Colorado capitalists have visited the
llstrict since the first discovery early in the
winter and n number of options have been
: aken. L. M. Thompson of Denver anil
Srlpple Creek , Colo. , Is the first man from
.hat state to commence active development
work along the veins of ore on the belt. Ho
represents a Colorado company and $3,000 or
54,000 will bo expended in exploiting the
; round before deep work Is undertaken. An
issay olllco has been fitted up at Golden
Onto , in Denclwood gulch , not far from the
roup ofclaims. .
Thio week another Colorado syndicate sent
a representative hero who spent a few min
utes looking over the phonollte formations
as represented in the office of the Deadwood
& Colorado Investment company in
this city , which convinced him that there
was considerable of truth In all that had
been said previously about the phonollte belt.
! Io telegraphed to his. company In Denver
to send the prospecting outfit , wagon and
all. This company will devote some tlmo
prospecting the different promising places on
the belt and ns it ie ono of the leading
syndicates in Denver , whloh usually sets the
pace for mining operations , it Is considered
a good thing for the Hills. There arc at
present n dozen 'strangers In this city who
take dally drives out into the phonolllo belt ,
and they keep their buslnej vury closely to
themselves. They are representing Colorado
capital for the most part and are hero got-
Llng pointers on the country. Ono prom
inent Cripple Creek man expressed great
astonishment this week when told that many
of Uicse claims on the phonotlto belt had
been staked twenty years ago and had been
lield since that time by the original locators ,
for the most part , and had not been de
veloped at all to speak of. He eald , "Walt
till Colorado capital comes in hero. We
will wako things up. "
Colornilo Men Iiitcrentcil.
This phonollto district is 'bound to at
tract attention this year. The llttlo devel
opment work that has been done thus far
on a few of the ere veins has brought out
results that have been astonishing. A num
ber of surface assays have been obtained
from the phonolltlc quartz which have been
better than the average of the first surface
workings of the Cripple Creek mines. Nearly
every Colorado man who has visited the
Hills In the last six months has had the
same to eay about the lack of enterprise
shown by the Black Hills people In develop
ing the mining resources of the country. It
is practically Impossible to arouse any en
thusiasm in the phonollto belt among the
business men of cither Lead or Deadwood ,
and some of the most prominent business
men are malting sport-of the matter , . It Is
an Interesting fact to Ttnow that the phono-
llto ere was first discovered by a Cripple
Creek mining man and the first real devel
opment work has been commenced by n
Colorado syndicate.
Looking Up Copper Properties
The Black Hills will receive attention
from now on from the east by reason of the
rich discoveries of copper ere which have
been made In the last few months In every
mining district In the Hills. The old theory
that the copper deposits were simply on the
surface , left there by glacial action , has long
since boon exploded and It is the opinion ol
the test copper experts who have been over
some of the copper ground of the Hills in
the last few weeks that the copper ore Is to
bo found in true verticals , some of which
are very large. There are at present aboul
twenty companies at work In the different
parts of the mining districts opening up
copper propositions. Some of the results
that have been obtained are difficult to be
lieve. Copper ore as rich as 70 per cent has
been found In a number of localities and
there are several largo veins that will average -
erago 10 to 15 per cent of that metal. Nearl >
all of the copper veins are followed by par
allel veins of gold bearing ere which , in
themselves , are paying propositions. This
combination of sold and copper ores will
bo very rich , making n fine smelting propo
Hltlon. "When It Is considered that the divi
dend paying mines of the great Lake Su
perior copper district are working en copper
ere with an average of about 3 per cent , a
Black Hills mine which runs from 10 to 15
per cent , with practically an unlimited
amount of the .oro in sight , should attract
the attention of capitalists. A mining man
who has a reputation as a copper cxpcr
In the Lake Superior mining region , toll
your correspondent that ho confidently ex
pected to sco some of the largest and rich
est copper mines In the world opened up in
the near future In the Black Hills. There
need to bo but ono good copper mlno ant
ono good strike made in the phonollto bel
west of this city to start ono of tho'great
est stampedes to the Black Hills that the
country bus over seen.

GASPER , Wyo. , Juno IS. ( Special. ) The
shearing season is about completed hero.
The estimated clip of Natrona county is'
,000,000 pounds. Of this about 1,000.000
pounds have been sent to the wool commls-
ilon houses on consignment ; about 2,400,000
> ounds have been sold outright and 600,000
jounds are stored In the county , out will bo
ihlpped out and cither sold or consigned as
soon as it can toe hauled from the distant
shearing pens. The prices received have
run from 10V4 to 13i cents per pound , with
an average of 12 cents.
The wool unshipped is held back on ac
count of the bad roads and lack of trans-
lortation facilities. The heavy rains which
lave caused the bad roads have at the samn
tlmo put the range in very good condition
and all that Is now needed Is some warm
weather to bring forward grass very rapidly.
Although sheep losses in the county were
Ight during the winter the sheep showed the
effects of the hard winter , many of them
being thin In flesh and weak. The ranges
of Natrona county have been fully stocked
for the last three years. Not many sheep
tiavo 'been ' brought In lately from outside
states. The wool market Is very satisfactory
to the wool -growers. It Is getting better
and wool that sold out at 11 cents per pound
at the beginning of the season would now
bring 12 ! cents.

science. My Electric Belt Ii Indorsed by physicians and recommended by more than
4,000 cured patients In this state alone. Electricity K the nerve and vital force ol
every man and woman , and where there Is a lack of this force
Electricity must be supplied that Is1 what my Belt IB for to
supply this lost electricity. Jly Electric Belt has soft , silken
chamois-covered sponge electrodes that entirely does away with
the unbearable burning and blistering caused by the bare metal
electrodes used on all other makes of belts. Electricity cannot
penetrate the system through the bare metal. That Is the reason
Rome of these other belts do not cure. Borne of them do not give
any current at all of course these could not even help you.
Through my electrodes the entire current which Is four times
stronger than in any other belt will penetrate the system.
