JAP CONCOCTS uRMijinii (Sfrlal niiimtrh tn Tha Jonroal.) t'lil.-BBo, Aug. 8. The first stop pro posed tiy the 'Commercial club of Chl cngo In a RAneral "city beautiful" scheme, an elevated boulevnrd over the Chicago rlvor to connect the north and bouIIi bU!c boulevards and park systems, has received a black eye. For some "mysterious reason" the boulevards committee of the club advocated a long causeway or viaduct which would cost from 16.000,000 to 110,000,000 but tho taxpayer who would have to foot the Mils rose up wrathfully and declared that tho viaduct not only would be but "a rich man's causeway," a "speedway for automobiles," a "wart" and deface ment instead of an Improvement, but tlint such a urotPHque structure would make Chicago's efforts to dress up gTO teaijue Instead of admirable. Mrs. Pot ter Palmer, among others, denounced the plan and during recent years she has seen much of European boulevards where beauty has been attained, has Fpen more of them than of Chicago's busy streets. In fact. A majority of the members of the committee which pro posed the objectionable speedway were found to live In suburbs of the city und on unfortunate self Interest was disclosed by the hostllo property own ers. The connecting boulevard seems likely to be constructed, but on the surface whore all clnsscs of people would benefit, and the result of this will he the completion of a beautiful thorouchfnre through the heart of the city, where property owners will be encouraged to erect handsome buildings. In the place of the dingy ones of the present. This boulevard will be flanked with trees and parking and a plaza, where now Is the ce-nter of the whole hale district, will he made on a scale to rival the attractions of Pnrls. Chi cago seems determined to dress up In eplte of blunders. Settlement of Fortune. The settlement of the $25,000,000 trusteed fortune left by Otto Yotinir of this city, one of the largest which has yet In the United States been tied up in trust, haB been complicated by the arrival of a J3, 000, 000 grandchild. Sam uel K. Martin Jr.; who Immediately became one of the richest babies in his own right in the world. His arrival, however, not only cost the six other heirs of the Young fortune his portion, a sei'enth, of the estate, but postponed the final settlement of the trusteeship for 21 years. He makes the seventh heir. By the peculiar provisions of the l oung will the present Tortune Its accumulations is to go in Incident', Sandajire Shin eki Cleans, Up a Little "Easy Money."

A night or two later Sadaplre dreamed opportunely that the dragon had re turned to earth and taken up its habita tion In his Jungle. It was revealed to him also that tliat It possessed power to heal all diseases and thut Invalids who visited the Jungle would be cured Immediately. The result was an Immediate rush upon his land and the overflowing of nn offertory box he had thoughtfully pro vided on the premises with contribu tions from devout believers In the drag on's powers. So much suspicion was aroused among the authorities by the financial success of tho visitation that Sadajlre was finally arrested. If he can produce the aragon the authorities promise to apolo gize.

Part of this property lies in the Murray gold belt, and the east por tion in the Hercules silver belt. First Allotment Sold Out Some few weeks ago we put on the open market our first allot ment of stock at 10 cents per share, and this is all sold with the ex ception of a few thatisand shares. Fair Treatment to Our Agents Our eastern agents report that they hare taken a number of orders for stock, to he paid in a few days and they ask us to defer the increase in price of our stock for a week or ten days. In justice to our agents, who have been instrumental in selling our stock, we are going to delay the raise in pric-e of our stock for their benefit, but only a short time. 150 to Our Stockholders The increase in the price of our stock means at least 150 per cent to those who buy at 10c per share and as there are only a limited number of shares to be sold at the increased price, there will be an other rise in the price of our stock before many months, unless our directors decide'to take the stock off the market entirely- then there will not be any for sale. Early Dividends We are driving our tunnel right into the treasure vaults of our mines, and ore already opened up shows that ye have only a little further to go before reaching the permanent high-grade ore bodies; then the price of our stock will jump, and those who fail to buy now will have to pay many times the present price for the same stock, for we have no preferred stock and each stockholder hares anjd shares like.
