Mines nm Fire.

COLUMBUS, Oct. 13.-The State
Journals special from Jacksonville,
OHIO says: All the Syndicate mines
are OF fire here to-day with the ex-
ceptlon OF Nos. 3 and 7. Special eff
forts are being made to extinguish
the fire. w. A. Shoemaker & Co.'s
hoppers were burned last night.
Two mines Of the Columbus & Stock
ing coal and iron company, at
Straitsvi!la, which were set on fire
last night, have been burning all day.
1t is impossible to get to where the
fires are to put them out. No dis
turbance of any character reported
here.
The mine at Sand Run, which was
burning, has been banked and closed
with the hope of smotheriEg the fire.
At strailsville the mines axe still on
fire and engines have been called
for from Logan, Lancaster and Col
unibus. They commenced operations
with engines and hose at 10 O'Clock
this morning and expected to have
some effect on the blaze before night.
There are no demonstrations among
the miners, who claim that the oper-
ators did the firing. The operators
say t~heyhave no doubt but striking
miners did the work.

at Work.

Yesterday morning between land J
o'clock a gang of burglars effected an
entrance into the basement of D.. l..
Bonner & Co.'S dry goods establish
ment by prying open n of the win
dows with a bar. They helped them~
selves to about twenty cases OF boots
and clothing. piled them on the side
walk, and then proceeded to make
an investigation of the premises for
the money they supposed should be
in the house. Mr.. Cornell, who oc-
cupies a room in the back part of the
building, heard the robbers, but not
having his pistol with him at the
time crept out of bed and went up
stairs after one. When he returned
the birds had flown, taking with
them his ~overcoat. having i'll his at
sence rifled his pants and vest which
were lying near his bed. The plan
of the robbers evidently was to get
what money they could and make
off with the goods they had stored
on the sidewalk, as q team was e
by q late pedestrian at the Centen-
NAL Hotel corner. AS yet there is
no clue to the robbers.

Livingston Enterprise, Oct. II
The Republicans after a deal of dark
lantern caucusing have, we regret to
say, concluded not to start a cam
paign paper in Livingston, but will
depend upon the Bozeman Courier
for their thunder. A campaign fund
is being raised as rapidly as possible,
which will be applied to hesitating
voters in quantities to suit develop
ments. It has been concluded,
finally, that the Enterprise has vio-
lated all claim to any part or parcel
of the federal patronage, and that
Notwithstanding all law or prece
dent to the contrary it shall have
none of such patronage. The tradj-
tions Of the party and the rules of
the national committee are that fed
eral patronage must be placed only
where it will act as a Republican
lever. These facts have been brought
to the notice of Mr.. o. Powerful
Chisholm, register of the land office,
and have met with his full and gra-
cious concurrence.
Yellowstone county is favored
with four tickets this year - the
straight Democratic; the straight
Republican; the Peoples and the
Taxpayers ticket. Toole for Dele
gate and Vivion for District At
torney are on three of the tickets.
Sun River Republicans are still
calling on Mr.. Chessman, cadidate
for the council on the Republican
ticket, to resign. But Chessman
doesn't seem to tumble" to the idea.

lulu Hurst, The Georgia Wonder.

The Independent has the following
to say about Lulu Hurst, who APP
pears at Renshaw Opera House this
evening. "Last evening Lulu Hurst
gave her first performance at Ming's
Opera House. The audience was not
large, tut all who were present were
thoroughly convinced of one fact,
and that is, that Miss Hurst is no
fraud. If she is not a fraud, from
the tests applied she must be truly a
wonder. The next question is,
whence is this force and what is it?
1t has been known and admitted by
all that it is not supernatural. In
fact, no one has ever asserted that it
is supernatural. All admit the won-
der, but who will rise to explain?
When an invitation vas given to ex-
press an OPINION none seemed anx-
ious to rise."

On the 18th of September Yokaha-
ma and Toxic were visited by a ter
rible typhoon. In the latter city
3 600 houses were wholly or partially
destroyed and twenty people killed.
The loss of life al sea was appalling.
No estimate could be made of the
number. The typhoon was followed
by another of great force on the 18th,
but of brief duration.
It is believed the Franco-Chinese
war will not interfere with a revision
of Japan's treaties. The conference
will be opened soon as the foreign
ministers have received their in-
structions. It is believed the basis
of the revision has already been
agreed upon, and only minor details
remain to be discussed.

ment had concluded to loan 1000, 600
taels with a German banking firm.

Glendale Notes.

We are indebted to the Dillon 7ri
bune for the following:
The chronic gossips of Glendale
have it that the Hecla Company is
again selling out, bus Manager Kuil.
penburg denies the rumor.
The Hecla Company has now in
tons a larger quantity of surplus ore
in Glendale than it has ever had in
its history, besides the surplus OF
iron and some 400, 900 bushels of char
coal in its bins at Glendale.
At Hecla everything is being
crowded to get into winter quarters,
and matters there will be pushed
during the next six months in the
way of development work and the
production of the daily amount OF
irst-class ore needed at Glendale.
At Greenwood, Asst slant Manager
Kappes has personal charge OF the
big concentration, which is running
day and night, and producing some
eight to ten tons of high grade ore.
Manager Knippenberg will close
down the concentrator about Decem-
Der LIST for the winter, regarding it
Improbable to run the concern in the
cold winter months.
Glendale is quiet, no boom is STIR
ring the place and under the present
management non need be expected,
economy in every department of the
Hecla Company is the order of the
day, not a single unnecessary expense
is allowed, employees r well paid
and the interest of the stockholders
alone consulted. This places a true
and honest value on everything in
metropolis.
