| GEO. J. SHOUP
| IN THE MONEY
l STRIKES' A MINE WORTH MANY
MILLIONS ACCORDING TO
LATE REPORT
In view of the fact that Judge
James M. Shoup and family, now
residents of Ketchikan and old
^ timers in Alaska, the following will
I he of interest to the legion of
- friends of the family. George J
Shoup, mentioned ^n the report is
the son of Judge and Mrs. Shoup.
The report is taken from the San
Francisco Bulletin of May 12, and
follows:
A conference of mining engin
eers with members of the Sloss and
Guggenheim families was held at
the Palace yesterday to discuss the
holdings of these two families in
the new Nevada mining camp at
Jarbridge. It is reliably stated
that the two families are in control
of uncovered ore containing not
less than $9,000,000.
Jabridge, which dates back to
190Y as a mining camp, now has a
population of 500, and is located
100 miles from Elko, 75 miles from
Deeth and is connected by a fairly
good automobile road with Wells,
75 miles away.
Good News Comes
George J- Shoup of Jarbidge,
who arrived at the Palace last Sun
day, brought the latest report of
the gold in sight to the owners
This was the occasion for the lunch
eon and general business talk about
the new gold mine.
Mr. Shoup today declined to dis
cuss the rumors of the big gold
discovery, except to say that much
valuable ore had been uncovered
at a depth of both 400 and 700
feet.
“You had better see the own
ers,” he finally remarked.
Sloss Won’t Talk
Louis Sloss, one of the owners,
said: “It is true we had a luncheon
and heard some favorable reports
about gold ores at Jarbidge. I
can’t say what we’ve got jijst now.”
The Sloss and Guggenheim peo
ple, it is understood, are develop
in two claims. The Potter Palmer
family of Chicago have two other
claims near by, which the Sloss
Guggenheim combine is quietly try
ing to get hold of for $900,000.
Asking an Option
This explains why Louis Sloss.
George J. Shoup and the local rep
resentative of the Guggenheims are
very close-mouthed about the re
cent developments.
George Wingfield, the Reno ■ .in
ing millionaire, through his Gold
field Consolidated Company expert.
Henry Jualin, is also after the Pel
mer claims. He once had an option
on one for $800,000 and $300,000 on
the other. This was in 1909. At
that time he thought the price too
high. Now he is seeking other op
tions, but at what figure is not
known.
To complete this triangular bid
ding contest Charles M. Schwab’s
Nevada mining representatives, ,Dr.
C. M. Ward and John C. Kirchin,
have made a bid for the claim fol
lowing an examination last month
The reported big gold discovery
at Jarbidge is interesting the bank
ing and mercantile communities
very much because of the Sloss
family’s connection with it.
The presumption is that Jarbidge
gold ore will greatly aid in rehabili
tating the Sloss family fortune that
has been impaired by the failure
of the.. Northern Electric Railroad
and other coast investments since
1906.
Shoup, who is acting for the two
prominent San Francisco and New
York families, is a member of the
family that has Paul, Guy and Fred
Shoup in the councils of the South
ern Pacific Company.

AIR PROPELLER BOAT
TO OPERATE ON STIKINE
One of the fleet which will oper
ate on the Stikinh this winter will
certainly be a singular appearing
vessel for river navigation. The
new vessel is being built in the
boat house near the Sanitary Can
nery by Chas. Clark and Ed- Lar
son. The boat is an air propelled
vessel, powered with a high speed
sixty h. p. It is a regulation flat
bottomed scow model, and the aero
propellor makes it possible to op
erate in shallow water where a
submerged propellor boat could not
| go. The new vessel is 38 ft. long
with a ten foot beam and will draw
light, 3 inches of water. The boat
will carry about 10 tons of freight
and they expect to have it in op
eration by the fifth of May_

FACTS ABOUT
KANSAS‘ON TNt
WATER WAGON
BY HON. ROYAL E- CABELL,
FORMER U. S. COMMISSIONER
OF INTERNAL REVENUE.
(Continued from yesterday )
The United States mortality sta
tistics for 1911 show that the av
erage mortality rate from homi
cide for the entire registration area
of the United States was 6-6. Con
sider, however, the State of Ver
mont, where the homicide rate is
only one per hundred thousand:
Minnesota, 2-9; Michigan, 2-9; Wis
consin, 2-8; Massachusetts, 3; New
Jersey, 4; Pennsylvania, 4.5. In
stead of having the lowest rate of
homicide for any State, the rate in
Kansas (4.7) is higher than the
rate in fourteen of the twenty-three
registration States. These figures
arc for different years, because the
Government rates for 1912 and 1913
have not been published.
The rate of suicide for the regis
tration area in Kansas, as shown
by census report on vital statis
tics for 1911, was 22 per thousand
The suicide rate for registration
cities in each of the States is- given
in the census report- Twenty-four
registration States have a lower
rate of suicide than has the regis
tration area of Kansas, and one
has the same rate.
The lowest annual divorce rate
was in 1900, that of Delaware
where it was forty-three divorces
per hundred thousand married pop
ulation. The highest was in the
State of Washington, the rate being
513 divorces per hundred thousand
married population Kansas is in
the list with a rate of 286, while
her sister prohibition State, Maine,
had a rate of 282. There were just
thirty-four States that had a low
er divorce rate than the rate in
Kansas, amongst which may be
mentioned Kentucky, with a rate of
237; Pennsylvania, with,, a rate of
”4; New York, with a fate of 60.
The average rate of divorce for the
United States was 200, the rate ris
ing towards the West- The average
for the North Atlantic division, in
cluding Maine, was 100, and the
average for the extreme Western
Division was 356. The rate of the
North Central, including Kansas,
was 2?5. Maine and Kansas not only
had averages above the national
average, but also above the aver
age for their respective geographic
al divisions.
Two of the various causes for
divorces granted to wives are
drunkenness and cruelty. Neverthe
less, sixteen States had a rate of
divorce to wives because of hus
band’s drunkenness lower than the
rate in Kansas. In fifteen of these
States liquor was lawfully sold at
the time the records were compiled.
Twenty-five States hjd lower rates
for divorce to wives for cruelty
than had Kansas
If prohibition prevents crime,
then one might at least expect to
find a comparatively large number
of people outside of the peniten
tiary m Kansas, but the United
States records show that the life
prisoner rate in Kansas was 4.49
per 100,000 population in 1910. and
twenty-one States had a lower per
centage. This same report shows
the total number in 1910, and that
in 1910 eleven States had a smaller
peieentage of prisoners than had
Kansas, one of these being Illinois
including Chicago, and another be
ing Wisconsin, including Milwaukee
while yet another was Ohio, includ
ing Cincinnati and Cleveland
The moral condition of the boys
and girls in Kansas, as compared
with the younger generation in
other States, is shown in Census
Bulletin No. 121, the comparisons
being for the year 1910. The ” '
rate is -46.34 per 100,000
tion; the New York ray* 39-35; the
Kansas rate 25.68, and the Nebras
ka rate 11.17. Nineteen States
have a lower rate of juvenile de
linquency than has Kansas.
