Maggie + yres, Alleged to Have
Been Abducted, Is Married.

Sunday afternoon Sheriff Sullivan left
this city for the Big Hole Basin, armed
with a warrant for the arrest of AL Moves,
who resides in that vicinity, on the charge
of having abducted Maggie, a daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Ayres of this city. The par
ticulars OF the accusation were given in THE
MINER OF yesterday. Blu now comes an
entirely different story from Mr., Noyes and
one which appears to be Il happy denou-
ment OF what at first sight seemed an ugly
beginning. BY one of those peculiar coin
cidences, Mr.. Noyes, who could not have
known OF the warrant, left his present home
in Beaverhead county to come to Butte on
business Saturday last, and arrived here
Sunday, shortly after the departure OF the
sheriff, and at once proceeded to the resi-
dence OF his parents. The allegations were
not made public until Monday and now
smarting under Il sense OF injustice he gives
his side OF the story.
MOVES STORY.
Mr.. Noycs states that he first met the girl
at his fathers house, in Butte, August last:
that at the time she asserted that she had
left her home because of the brutality of her
father who had maltreated and threatened
to kill her. At the same time she related
several acts OF violence which he had COM
mitted during his drunken sprees. On hear
ing this Mr.. Noyes states that he took pity
on the girl and offered her a home on his
ranch, which she gladly accepted and since
that time she has remained there as the
companion of his wife. Prior to her de-
parture for the ranch the father demanded
that the girl return to her home. but she
declined for the reasons above stated.
MARRIED..
The girl who claims that she is 16 wears
old went to the ranch, and since hersoiourn
there she made the acquaintance ofa u
ranchman named Jerry Merritt. and the
acquaintance ripened into love and a pro-
p"sal OF marriage. To this Noyes objected
until the consent OF the parents could be
obtained. but the girl, still insisting that
she would have nothing to do with her
father and that she was still afraid OF him.
yielded to the entreaties OF her afianced
and they were married at Bannark in the
presence OF numerous witnesses. Mr.. Moves
still insists that his conduct in the matter
has been humane, courteous and honora-
BILE, and that he has no regrets nor has the
young lady.
In regard to the warrant he will appear
before Justice Irvine to-day, and if the
Ayers push the case, all the facts will
probably be developed.

MADAME JANAUsCHEK, the celebrated ac
tress, who will open for IL week at Rem.
shaw's Opera House, is IL Bohemian. She
was born at Prague, July 20, 1880. She
made her first appearance in Frankfort: in
the year 1913, as "Iphigenia." Subsequent
appearances in Dresden and other cities OF
Germany raised her to the highest rank
among German actresses. She was received
in IL distinguished manner in Russia, where,
in Moscow, she performed before the EN-.
peror, Alexander IL, who made her a gift OF
diamonds. Previous to the year 1871, she
played in German, but that year undertook
to perform in the English language. Per-
haps no actress appearing in the United
States commands a more intellectual and
appreciative audience than Janauschek.
She is a married woman, and is known in
private life az Mrs. Frederick Pilot. Her
private car, having been built for the stan
d%ard-gauge roads, will not come to Butte,
but remain at Garrison.

The Union Pacific Railway Company has
inclosed it's depot with a fence, into which
only the pets Of the company are permitted
to drive. Agent Scott, frigid and icy as the
North Pole, has heretofore kept individuals
at a respectful distance; the fence now
keeps out vehicles. There lisa want OF GEM
atty and decency about the Union Pacific
station here that common business sense
would dictate should be remedied. Mr.
Scott may be an honest man and a good
agent, but he is a boor, who has not learned
any OF the decencies OF life and is insulting
to those who make ordinary civil inquiries
ofhim, unless they happento be %millionaires.
He should be sent to a city Of million
aires. The law may permit the Union Pa
cific to bar away from it's passenger sta
ton all public vehicles, but the same law
may demand the Enclosure of their entire
right OF way If cattle are killed anywhere
outside of the Enclosure at Butte the attor-
neys will find in the fencing in of the depot
a powerful argument to the jury. 1t was
mistaken judgment that authorized the
fence here. What Butte needs is Il second
railroad.

Is THERE il building boomin Butte? This
is Il question frequently asked. The MINER
can confidently answer, No. There is a
steady building up OF the city, mechanics OF
all sorts are earnestly at work, but there is
no boom. Butte has never had IA boom
anddoesn't want any. Five brick yards are
now turning out 10000 bricks a day and
their estimated capacity for the season is
5000, 600. The demand is large and con-
siderabiy beyond the supply. There are
but few brick in the market. The average
price now is SO per 200, and it will fall
but little below that figure for the season.
Many frame buildings are also being erected
outside of the fire limits, which gives en-
ployment to man people. There will be Il
great deal Of building in Butte, but it will
be only in accordance with the wants of the
city, and there is no boom whatever.

The fact that all the Chinese had been ex-
PEELED from Eureka, California, has been
noted in the MINER. The order OF expul-
sion was issued in January last, and was
occasioned by the brutal murdered Il prom
inent citizen by a Chinese highlander. A
leading attorney Of Eureka was interviewed
a few days ago, by a reporter OF the San
Francisco Chronicle, as to the effect of the
exodus. "The effect has been most wonder
full and gratifying" said the lawyer. 'The
laundrying is now all done by white people.
Where Chinese cooks were formerly en-
ployed, white men and women are now
earning an honorable living. The most
noticeable thing is the absence OF Chinese in
railroad work. At least 300 white men
nave obtained employment through the ex-
pulsion OF the Chinese, and there are many
other things which prove the action was
timely and beneficial to the prosperity of
orr couutry,'

IT is said that the Hon. Malcolm Hay,
the First Assistant Postmaster General, is
in very delicate health and likely to retire
from the position ut an early day. In that
event, the Hon. William Mutchler, also OF
Pennsylvania, will be appointed in his stead.
No better choice could be made. For years
Mr.. Mutchler has represented the old Tenth
Legion of Pennsylvania in Congress, with
credit to the district and distinguished
honor to himself. He is the member of the
Democratic National Committee from
Pennsylvania, an astute politician and a
lawyer of excellent judgment and distin-
guished abilities. The President could not
make Il better choice, nor one that would
be more acceptable to the State OF Pennsyl-
vania.

CLAIM

The facts leading up to the litigation are
as follows: In 1867 William Meyer located
what was known as the Meyer placer
claim in the California gulch mining district.
Subsequently this placer fell to the owner
shin of the Iron Silver Mining Company,
and on it are now located the important
mines of that company. In 1873 a patent
to the placer ground was applied Tor, and
it "a granted by the Government in Jan
nary. 1880. When it was found that min
| eral in place existed under the placer ground,
| the Sierra Nevada lode claim was located,
| the placer and lode conflicting as shown
| above. In 1888 the Government also
granted a patent to the lode claim. Last
! summer the litigation was begun by the Iron
Silver Mining Company asking an injunc-
| ton against the Sierra Nevada Company.
| The plaintiffs introduced the Sierra Nevada
| lode patent and deeds showing title in
| them, and introduced testimony tending to
| show that it was generally known before
| the application was made for the placer
/ patent, in 1878, that there was a lode
or mineral deposit under the surface
Of the placer claim. and that the appli-
cants for the placer patent thought so,
and applied for the placer patent for the
purpose Of obtaining title to the lode de-
posits in rock-in-place beneath. The de-
PENDANTS, to sustain their case, introduced
the patent to the Meyer placer claim and
deeds showing the patent title to be in the
Iron Silver Mining Company. Plaintiffs
counsel contended that by virtue of nm excep-
ton in the placer mining patent, "of known
lodes," ETC., the Sierra Nevada lode patent
conveyed a strip of ground described i'll it,
together with the mineral deposits under
meath, notwithstanding the same ground
had before been conveyed by the Govern
ment in the Meyer placer patent. Defend
ants counsel commended that the junior
patent for the so-called lode claim was void
because it attempted to convey Il piece OF
land which had before been granted by the
Government by a%senior placer patent; also
that the exception clause in the placer
patent, saying that 'the Government does
not convey title to lodes or mineral veins
which may exist beneath the surface OF the
placer ground" was void, and did not limit
the absolute character Of the conveyance
by the patent, and that it was inserted i'll
the patent by the land officers without au-
thority of law. The judge decided i'll favor
OF the plaintiff. He said, however, that he
did not consider the decision in this case as
covering the vexed question as to whether
or not a lode claim can be located
wholly inside the boundaries Of Il patented
placer claim. A case involving such Il
question is now pending before the United
States Supreme Court.

LODE AGAINST PLACER.

Judge Hallett. of the United States
Courts at Denver, has just decided a very
important point Of mining law. The case
was known as Peter Campbell ct al. versus
the Iron Silver Mining Company, or the
Sierra Nevada Lode VS.. the Meyer Placer.
The main point i'm the controversy was
between two patents to mining claims both
granted by the Government on conflicting
property. One, the senior patent, was
granted to a placer claim, and the second,
or junior, patent to a lode claim. The
placer claim consisted OF about ten acres OF
ground, and the lode claim was OF the usual
size, both located near Leadville. How the
claims conflicted will be seen by the follow
ing diagram:
