An officer is reported to have shot him self in Russia because he was required by the obligation of his oath as one of a se- cret society to assassinate the Czar. The duty of killing the emporer had fallen upon him by ballot and as each who had bal loted had sworn that he would perform this duty if it fell to his lot, the officer re- garded himself as in honor bound, and pre- ferred to die. If in the Russian secret so- c,etIes there are many men who would rather kill themselves than the emperor, his life may be looked upon as reasonably -afe from this danger; and this is not the first man who has committed suicide in such circumstances. In fact, the real na- ture of these organizati1 ns Is In this: They are not voluntary bodies. Young men are at first deceived into joining them, or join them under the influence of some passion ate impulse of disappointment or caprice. They are then called upon to take part in ballot to selecta man to do a great stroke, one that calls for supreme courage. What one refrains They all take part-for 1t is plece of bravado and then some good fellow one day finds himself selected to kill the emporer, and be kills himself

It is announced from New York that the pitched battle for what IS left of Alexander T. Stewards millions will begin in March, all that has happened heretofore being mere reconnaissance and skirmish Furth- CT, that nearly all the natural heirs have formed a close alliance, and will make common cause against the singularly lucky Judge Henry Hilton. The battle will open with the hearing on March 12 of the petition of Miss Rosalie Butler, uiece of the late Mrs. Stewart for a revocation of the probate of her aunt's will and the co. dicils thereto, on the ground of "fraud, deceit and undue influence" on the part of Judge Hilton. The attack on the will in the court room will be led by Senator Evarts and Joseph H. Choate the de- fense by Roscoe Conkling and Horace Russell. As Miss Butler, under the pro- visions of the will, forfeits a legacy of $200, 900 by bringing this action, the fact that such eminent lawyers as MessrB. Evarts and Choate have advised her to go ahead is interpreted as indicating degree of confidence on their part implying knowledge not yet shared by the public.

HINES AND MINING
Milling Low Grade Ores by Elec-
tricity-0ther Notes.


SHIPMENTS Of ore from the old lie Wis
ton District have commenced.
A STRIKE of twelve inches of solid ore
is reported in the Mormon Girl, which
adjoins the famous Eureka and Ida
hoan mines at Bullion. The strike
was made while the assessment work
was being done.
AN old Utah miner suggests the
formation of a miners clue IN Salt
Lake. and says that this would lead to
association among those engaged in the
business, and might eventuate in the
organization of mining exchange.
ADvICEs from Nevada are to the
effect that the Comstock is enthusiastic
over the successful test of the new cleo
trio motive power for running stamp
which was made lately. The problem
over which the engineers have been
working for ten years is 20 make profit
able the low grade ore that now lies IN
thousands of tons on the dumps of the
Gomstock lode. The heavy expense of
milling eats up all the profits on such
ore, and The result is that OF all the
mines now running thsre, only one
pays dividends. Some of this expense
is needless, but even with economy,
there is little profit in three-fourths OF
the ore now taken out of the Comstock.
Sutro and other engineers have claimed
for several years that electricity was
the only hope for Comstock, and the
result shows they we're true prophets.
In the presence of many mill managers
and miners test was made OF the Ne
vada si4ty-stamp quartz mill with cleo
trio power generated by dynamos oper-
at:d by P.lton water-wheels, on the
cutro level of the Choller incline,
l, 700 feet below the surface, and trans
mitted on copper wire to met us
on the surface. The working was sat-
isfactory in every respect. The plant
is the largest in the world. The water
pre- ssure on Pelton wheels on the Sutro
Tunnel level is $50 pounds to the square
inch. OF this power 60 per cent, repre-
secting five horse power, is delivered en-
the surface to Brush motors, which re-
volve at a speed of $50 revolutions per
minute. The power which operates the
surface motors is obtained from six
dynamo machines, placed on the SutIo
Tunnel level of the Chollar incline, pro
PEELED by that number of Pelton wheels
driven by 200 minars inches of water
discharged On them from height of
210 feet. The success of this experiment
is considered of vast Importance to the
future of the Comstock. as the water
power of the Truckee RIVER can be
brought there with loss of only 40 per
cent of its original power. The Truckee
River is distant but sixteen miles, in sn
air line, and by taking advantage of its
fall 1, GOO stamps can be operated on the
Comstoc OK at cost which will make ii
profitable TO handle millions Of tons OF
low grade ore.

Ben HallidaY's Estate.

Ten years ago Ben and Joe Halliday,
who made fortune out of the pony ex-
press business across the plains in early
DAYS, were rated as worth at least 81
100000 each, They owned valuable
property in Portland and San Fran
cisco, and Ben built the large mansion
near Fort Washington, n. Y. which
was recently purchased by WhitelaW
Reid. The brothers owned everything
in common until few years ago, when
they quarreled, and began litigation to
divide their business. This developed
great bitterness between them, ana
they sp' mt large sums trying to injure
each other. The collapse of the Northern
Pacific hurt both brothers and depreci-
ated their property fully one-half. Then
Ben died, but instead of helping matters
this only added to the complications,
as Ben's widow had a deep-seated sus-
piclon of Joe. By Ben's will, which he
had neglected to change, Joe was made
executor OF the estate. He was lately
requested to furnish accounts of the
estate, in order that appraisers might
value it. He refused until the widow
brought suit to compel him, and also to
pay her So 600 due her for monthly al
lowance.
At the las moment Joe came forward
with an answer, denying the allegations
of the widow. He denied that Ben
died possessed of property worth ST.
500, 600. and says that at the time of his
death he did not have the means to paw
for his last sickness and funeral. He
accuses Mrs. Halliday and her legal ad.
visers of conspiriRg to embarrass his
management of the estate, and says that
Mrs Halliday is not in need of money
to support herself and children. and
that by economy and frugality she can
get along nicely on $500 month.
Joe says if forced to sell the property
TO pay the lndebtDess enough cannot
be realized to pay the claims due ano
presented. amounting to over $3.50 900
