The Railroad Pool.

The Anaconda Review mentions the fol-
lowing as the terms of the new pooling
arrangement between the Northern Pacific
and the Utah & Northern: 1.-THE North
ern Pacific is to keep out of Butte for one
years time, leaving the field clear for the
Union Pacific, and at the end of one year
the field will be open for competition to
the Northern road. In consequence of
this reticencc, on their part, the Northern
Pacific is to receive forty-six per cent of
the earnings of the Union Pacific for Butte
and Anaconda" We suppose the pool
applies to Helena on like terms, 46 per
cent in that case going to the Union Pa
citic on condition of keeping away.

Saved by 3 Dog.

A wood hauler, j. B. Lorne, living nea,
Butte had been in that city one day last
week with load of wood and, it being
very cold, imbibed rather freely of the
seductive shot SCOTCH until late in the
evening when he started for his home.
The night was severely cold and Mr.. Lorne,
about midway between town and his
home, got off of his wagon to warm up,
the whisky he had been drinking through,
the day having died out. He began flop
ping his arms to produce circulation when
his team became frightened and ran away
from him. He gave chase until complete
ly exhausted, when he fell by the wayside.
How long he remained there he knew not,
but was aroused from his stupor by his
faithful dog. The dog pulled at Lornc S
clothes until he became awakened but not
sufficiently to fully arouse him, and then
began biting his legs. Lorne finally got
up to fight the dog, who instinctively led
him short distance from the road to a
ranch near by, where he received care
which saved his life.

From Cooke.

Cooke, to keep up with the times, re-
ports an earthquake shock. 1t occurred
on the morning of December 26 and Is re.
ported to have been plainly felt by several
parties.
Frank Esler has men at work fixing up
the old smelter and teams busy hauling
ore and charcoal with which to fire it up.
1t is hard to fix date when the Repub-
lie smeltcr will start up. The manage
ment state that not until they have every
thing they need to make a continual run
will they charge the furnace.
Ter more Italian coal burners have ar
rived and went to work Immediately.
Messrs. Manderyille and Frost have
struck an eight-inch vein of very rich ore
in one of their claims. The lowest assay
of the ore is $50 ounces, and the highest
1900 ounces to the ton. They will con-
tinue its development throughout the win
ter.
Although New Years night was very
cold it did not keep the miners indoors
at least portion of them were out jump

had not been DONE

both smelters, but until then adieu. n.

retary of the central committee of the
Saskatchewan National league. and private
secretary Of the late Louis Riel, says that
another rebellion, on the part of the resi-.
dents of the Saskatchewan valley, is inev.
liable, and if the aboriglnes do not break
out next spring, it will be evidence that
they are bidine their time and will enlist
the white settlers in their cause. In his
opinion another rebellion is only matter

The Grow Lease.

John T. Blake who was in Salt Lake a
few days ago unfolded to Tribune re-
porter his scheme to lease the Crow reser-
vation as follows:
"The amonnt of land leased" said Mr..
Blake, "was 2,5OOO.OOO acres. l made
the contract with the twenty Crow
chiefs, each of whom signed it, as we'll as
about 400 of the 500 Indians The con-
tract was signed in October of 1884. l
agreed to pay $4,000 the first year and
$4,000 for each of the remaining years,
the lease running for ten years. The lease
was simply for grazing purposes, and the
land will support $4,000 head of cattle
easily. My purpose was to sub-lease it.
The Grow treaty gives them the power to
lease their surplus lands, subject to the
approval Of tie secretary of the interior.
Ny lease has not yet been approved, and
a number of Montanians are fighting it.
The men who oppose it are principally
those who have contracts with the govern
ment, cattle men who are grazing their
cattle on the reservation in violation of the
law and ranchmen who want the land
thrown open for settlement. Secretary
Teller sent two special agents out to i'll
vestigate the matter, and they reported
favorably. \ senate committee, compcs-
ed of Senators Harrison, Ingalls, and
Jones, came out and investigated the case
last summer, but have not yet submitted
their report"
"Don't you think the leasing of these
lands will prevent the opening Of the res
ervation for settlement2'
"No, sir; on the contrary, l think it will
act as an entering wedge for their settle
ment. There are at least 10000 head of
cattle now grazing on the reservation, the
owners of which pay nothing to the In
dians or to the government The Indians
have nearly two million acres of land left,
which is an abundance for their 500 fam
lilies. The rental propose to pay would
amount to 500 per year for each family,
and as they only receive about half rations
from the government it is better that they
should receive some benefit from their idle
lands. It would be better for the Indians
as we'll as for the country to have that
land used for grazing purposes
"Did you meet with any difficulty in
with the Indians:"
every little. At first they thought
wanted to buy the land and objected, but
soon learned that only wanted to buy the
grass as l termed it. OF course they do
not consider their contracts very binding.
They change their minds like children,
but if the lease is approved by the secre-
tary of the interior the government will
compel them to stick to their agreement.
The government should either furnish
these Indians with sufficient food, so they
wont 60 around the country stealing and
robbing, Or allow them to lease their lands.
This is the first lease of Indian lands ever
made outside Of Indian Territory. lisa

howl against leasing public lands that it is
doubtful whether it will be approved, al
though it would be better for all concern

The Neihart Mines.

Husbandman: News from Neihart il
to the effect that miners are busy and in
good spirits. The slnelter is expected tc
start this week and active preparations for d
good run are going forward. The Dakota
mine, it is believed, will be bonded at
$4,000. E. W. Toole, a partner in the
property, is expected to visit the camp to
complete the negotiations as soon as bust
ness in the supreme court will admit of
his absence from Helena The owners, it
is understood, are to receive $4,000 in
cash. The Hudson Mining company
have contracted the running of a'7OO-foot
tunnel on the Mountain Chief mine. 1t
will tap the vein at a depth of about 400
feet and render the delivery of ore to the
surface an easy matter. 1t is believed
this will develop one of the best mines in
the west.

clare that all that he had said about her
was lie. Mrs. Hid was arrested and
bound over to keep the peace.

Another New Process.

The Winnemucca Nevada) Silver State
says: Jacob Gooding of Reno, who was
in town Saturday, says new process for
separating gold and silver from the baser
metals has been tried at Peavine with as
tonish1ng success. The ore is roasted in a
furnace, then treated with chemical
fluid which separates the gold from the
silver and both from the gangue and baser
metals. A three-ton furnace and vats for
treating the roasted ore have been erected
at Peavine, and Mr.. Gooding says the re-
fractory ores of that district are worked
up IS per cent of their assayed value and
the gold and silver is over 900 fine. The
cost of treating ores by this process does
not exceed $3.50 per ton where fuel is not
too high.

The Sleeping Beauty.

Minnie Dishler. Nebraska's sleepin,
beauty, mention Of whose long nap wa
made IN these columns some time since
recovered consciousness January 8, til.
sixty-seventh day of her trance sleep. Tht
girl fell into trance from which she ha:
not revived on October 9th last, and dur.
ing the long interval she has lain to all
appearances lifeless being, with the ex.
ception of respiration and pulsation.
When Miss Dishler aw0ke her mind was
apparently clear and unimpaired. Her
appetite and general feelings are good, but
her arms and lower limbs were paralyzed.
She says that she was conscious during the
whole time of her protracted trance. but
although she exerted her utmost power to
evince her consciousness. she could not
move single muscle. She says she had
no physical pain until the fortieth day Of
her sleep when an electric battery was ap-
piled. Since then she has suffered thou
sand agonies eff body, and at times it
seemed as though her mind would give
way under the strain, and she now COM
plains of terrible physical suffering in
consequence of the shock to her system.
The doctor in attendance says. however,
that she will recover in a short time, and
will also regain the full use of her limbs.
The Grow Reservation.
A Washington special of Jan. 18th says:
There will be bill introduced this ses-
sion to throw open a considerable part
of the Crow reservation in Montana and
consolidate the Crows on land held by
them in severalty, dissolving the tribe re-
lation. The measure will be substantial
ly the same as that introduced by Dele
gate Maginnls in the last session of the
forty ghth congress. This will open to
settlement some of the finest arabic and
grazing lands in the northwest Delegate
Toole has prepared the bill, but will wait
until he can learn what the Holman COM
mittee has to say about the reservation.
1t is expected that the committee will re-
practically the same measure as
the Maginnis bill.
