"I have notified my associates,"

To attend to, with my other busi
ness. If I have my way I will turn
over the presedency lo another

Tbe Senator said, ''It is my
earliest wish to remain in the U.
S. Senate a few years more for three
reasons. First, 1 want to be in a
position to press upon tbe atten

loaning Government money with

is to do my part in promoting an

Berlin, April 5. The events of
the past week have accentuated,
even more than the resignation ot
tae chancellor, the new era that is
opening in German history.
Unti1 his actual departure the
public was loth to believe the em
peror was in earnest in parting
with P.ismarck. Henceforth at
tention will be divided between
Freiderichsme, representing the
grandeur of the edifice of Oerman
unity, and Berlin, representing the
new and untried regime. It is im
possible that the emperor could
have been a disaffected spectator
of the unending tributes of admira
tion and respect that poured in on
his discarded minister.
It is reported to-dav that he has
again refused consent to the publi
cation of Bismarck's letter of res
ignation. The publicstill define to
believe the retirement ot l.ismarcK
is final, it being urged that he is
bv live years fjlanstono s junior
. .ii . i i
ami may sun count on a oecane oi
activity.
Ccrtillers offered to resign two
seats in the reichstag in favor ot
Bismarck and Count Herbert Bis

chancellor and son will not accept
them at present.

her quiet home in East Los Angeles
was not good enough for her. She
accordingly left, and aiter one
day's expevience with the world
committed suicide.

mother ol the girl, received the
following, letter from her daugh
ter: "Mamma: Your watch is up
at a Pawnbroker's on Main ssivet.
The oracelets I have on are some
that he gave me on the watch.
Give these bracelets and $ti and
then you can get the watch. I
want the city to. bnrv me. Good
by forever." J."
The name Pauline Clinton,
which the girl gave at the police
station as hers, is the heroine of a
novel she was reading.
At the Coroner's inquest held to
night the jury found that she
came to lrer death from jioison,
taken with suicidal intent. No
motive is known for the girl's act.

Extensive Deposit Disevered
Southeast of Pilot Roek.
l'. i.,ll( ton Ess; Orrconiau.
A vein of copper ore, supposed
also to contain gold, has been dis
covered bv a prospector about
twelve miles southeast -of Pilot
Rock. The deposit is an extensive
one, and, it it proves rich, may im
developed into paying property.
Specimens will lie sent to Denver
tor assay by the discoverer to de
termine their worth, and if the
assay ptoves successful a company
will De lormea to develop tne mine
which is easy of access and can lie
worked profitably. A quantity of
croppings were brought to Pendle

large quantites. The presence of
gold is doubtful, and can only be
determined by assay. However,
a good copper mine in the region
in which the ledge was discovered
would prove a source of wealth to
its owner.
