a. FUGITIVE MURDERER
James Edwards Identified az q
Noted Wisconsin Criminal.

Photographs have been received at
Miles City fully identifying James
Edwards, the criminal who recently
escaped from the guard at Gallatin
City, while being conveyed to the
penitentiary, as Lon Williams alias
Maxwell, who with his brother MUIR
dered the Coleman brothers at Du-
rand, Wis, in 1881. The Cole
man brothers were deputy
sheriffs, and were killed
while in the discharge of their duty.
The entire community turned out at
the time in search of Williams, and
no event in that section of Wisconsin
has ever created so profound a sensa-
ton as this murder. The Benton pa
pers have q rumor that the fugitive
was seen at Coal Banks, on the Mis-
souri, river, descending the river in q
skiff. If this be true he can hardly
escape capture. A reward of $500
is offered for his capture, in Custer
county, and If they have not expired
by Limitation several large rewards
will be paid for his delivery to the
Wisconsin authorities.

when bad roads prevent getting pas

WASHINGTON, May 22.-The Post
will publish tomorrow a letter from
Secretary Chandler to Ex-Congress-
man Dezendorf, of Virginia, in reply
to a communication received from
the latter calling attention to the
levying of assessments for political
purposes on employees of the Norfolk
Navy Yard. The Secretary, after
answering the charges concerning
the alleged violations of law, says:
"The tone of your letter which you
have made public, indicates that you
take a very strong interest in the
reformation of the navy yard at Nor
folk, and your long familiarity with
the yard as a constant candidate for
Congress since '7S, seeking special
support from the voters there em-
ployed, will undoubtedly enable you
to make many more valuable sugges-
tons for the suppression of abuses
therein, which will gladly be received
and considered. That you should
now, for the first time, call the at
tention of the Depart and the public
to such abuses after you have ceased
to expect any personal benefit from
management of the yard, is a most
commendable performance of public
duty by a private citizen"

CITY COUNCIL.
The New Police Appointed Re-
tanning Most of tho Old
Officers.

The City Council met last night
pursuant to adjournment. A num-
Der of bills were presented which
were referred to the Finance Com
mittee. City Marshal Venable re-
commended J. T. Duffy, Capt. f. r.
Owens, John Buckley, Charles Garlic
ton, Thomas Cody and Macon Gririer
for appointment as policemen to
serve during the ensuing year, and
tn appointments were confirmed.
Carleton, Cody, Buckley and Owens
have seen considerable service on
the force and are thoroughly familiar
with the service, While Duffy and
Gririer are spoken of as well qualified
for the position, but the two retiring
members, Messrs. Vennor and Car
roll, have by vigilant atten-
ton to duty and bravery
in the face of danger made
a record on the force which will
make it difficult to fill their places in
public esteem. In view of the nee s.
sity for thorough work in cleaning
the streets and alleys it was resolved
that an additional street commission
er should be appointed by the Mayor.
The council adjourned until the next
regular meeting.

MINERAL PICKINGs.
Mining Notes Picked Up Here
and There.

Operations on the Flag are con-
fined to exploration and develop
ment.
The Mount Moriah is looking re-
markably well, and producing its
usual output of high grade ore.
Work is being prosecuted on the
3O0-foot ccess-cut of the Mountain
View, and the ledge is expected to be
tapped soon.
The Montana Copper Company
have in operation at their smelter q
4O-horse power boiler entirely of
home manufacture.
The Gagnon is looking fine. The
ore body struck in the 500 south drift
holds out in size,- and assays 100
ounces and over per ton.
The Moulton mill is making a
steady run, and producing its regular
output of bullion. The ore.house is
full and the mine looking well.
The Shonbar continues to develop
well in the 25O-foot east drift. The
assays are high, and ore that assays
less than 20 ounces goes to the second
grade damp.
Only 26 feet remain to be sunk in
the Wine from the 700 foot level at
the Alice before reaching the 800,
when active development of the
lower levels will be commenced.
The Bell smelter made a big run
last week, 63 tons of matte from the
single blast being the net output. At
the mine the new three compart-
ment shaft has reached the 300 foot
station.
The surface development at the
Alice is a nine days. wonder to the
old miners Of Summit Valley. The
place is visited by hundreds, who
express their establishment at a mine,
which seems inexhaustible, and from
which the ore can be shoveled direct
from the slopes into wagons, which
haul it to the mills. The ledge i'm
proves both in size and grade with
further development.
The strike ut the Poser is belle we'd
to be the same main vein which has
been developed on the surface mid
way between the Magma Charta and
Valdemere. The strike is in both
the north and south cross cuts
from the 100 and the assays are very
high. The work on the shaft so far
has been done with a windlass, but
it is the intention to erect hosting
works at once.
The Anaconda is working the 200,
800, 400, 500 and 600 foot levels which
are all developed by drifts aud cross
cuts. The ore is high grade, much
of it yielding SIS per cent. of copper
and carrying heavy silver assays.
Large quantities of ore are shipped
to Swansea, Wales, for reduction,
which will probably be stopped as
soon as the new snlelter is started
