known as The Elizabeth mining company,
and will at once commence operations on
their properties, which are located near

everybody in the district as the "Lord"
Nelson, from whom it was purchased for
$4,000. Capital stock, 100000 shares;
capitalization, $2,O0O,OOO. The incor
porators consist of the following gentle
men, who, with one or two exceptions,
are all residents of this place and Gran
ite: j. J. Nelson, August Myers, F. J..
Kramer, J. w. Opp, James Patten, Steve
Severson, T. j. Dorsey, j. Nixon and T..
J. Davey.
The lead is twelve to sixteen feet wide,
and they claim it assays 8 to Il ounces
silver and SIS to S12 gold. The tunnel is
now in 325 feet and it is the intention to
run IN 800 feet further to tap the ore
chute.
Several mining experts have examined
the property lately and all pronounce it
the most favorable they have seen in the
territory, and the new company have al

men, who express a willingness to fur

THE ALPS COMPANY.

John G. Wood, Of the Alps mining
company, was in the city recently on
business for that company and gave the
Inter Mountain some facts in regard to
it. The company is but recently organ
lied. John taplice, of Butte, is presi-
dent and secretary of the company, Jas.
Hammond, of Philipsburg, is vice presi-
dent, and j. j. Hammer, of Butte, is
treasurer: The mines are located at the
head of Harvey creek, about thirty-five
miles northwest of Philipsburg. The
properties are three in number, the Alps,
the Golconda and the #tna.
On the Alps perpendicular shaft has
been sunk AZ feet, and a ledge, carrying
four feet of ore, is exposed at the bottom.
On the Golconda there are two lodges.
On one of them shaft has been sunk
IS feet, and level run at that depth SO
feet. This shows up a four-foot vein.
On the second lead perpendicular shaft
has been sunk 40 feet and crosscut run
for 20 feet. This shows up vein carry
ing twelve feet of ore.
The ore is all free-milling gold and the
assays run as high as $40 to the ton.
Mr.. Wood considers that $25 would be a
fair average of the ore. The leads are
very strong, and on the Alps there is a
splendid surface showing all along the
lead. The Etna is depeloped by tun-
mel, which is run 80 feet, and exposes a
vein twenty-five feet in width.
The first work to be done by tho COM
pany is to build a road to Phiipsburg.
A force of men will be set to work ct
this Immediately. The company is in
and has treasury stock Of
100000 shares. The stock will be put on
the market at 10 cents per share for de-
velopment PURPOSES.

COMBINATION COMPANY,

The Combination mining company il
soon to make an addition to their works.
Ten additional stamps are to be put in;
also some roasters, which will enable
them to work all the ore, instead OF
shipping it to Butte after concentrating g,
as they have always done. One hundred
thousand brick for the new addition is
being conveyed from Philipsburg to
Black Pine.
A meeting of the trustees of the COM
pany was held in Butte last Monday
evening, and when, after a thorough in.
vestigation, the recommendation of
Supt. Akers was adopted, and it was de-
cided to put in a Brueckner furnace.
It is claimed that this addition will save
the company at least $1,000 month in
transportation, working charges, etc.,
and the cost will not be over $1,000.
This fact of itself shows tie wisdom of
the undertaking as purely business
ike proposition. The idea is not an ex-
pertinent, but has had trial and is an
assured fact.

Let Teemer Put In or sbut n,

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 19.-J. A. St. John.
in reference to Teemer's challenge, says:
elf Teemer puts up forfeit and agrees
to row over neutral course, 1 will
back Gaudaur against him for anv
amount. In his challenge, which is not
accompanied by forfeit, he stipulates
that the race must be rowed at his own
home, McKeesport. Now it is not usual
for man who issues a challenge to
name the course, and especially select
his home as the place. Gaudaur will
row him on any neutral course. The
last match tried to make with Teemer
fell through because he refused to put
up his money.

Reason to be Cautions.

New YORK, Aug. ia special to
The Tribune from Ottawa, says: The
reason now assigned for the counter
manding of the orders for the French
squadron designated to visit Quebec, is
that the French ambassador at London
received courteous intimaticn from
Lord Salisbury that in the present con-
dition of the public temper in Canada on
the subject of French ascendancy in the
province of Quebec, it might be unde-
sirable to allow French war ships to an
chor in Quebec harbor. The recent
speeches of the premier of Quebec, in
which the people were called on to look
to the tri-color as their national flag,
and others calling on the provincial mil
itary to be prepared to defend their ma
tionality, appear to have had an effect
on the mind of the British cabinet.

REVISING THE COMMODITY TARIFF.

Northwestern Roads Bridging the Abyss
Between Car Load and Less Than Car
Load Rates.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE general
freight agents of the Western and North
western roads met here and began the
work of revising the commodity tariff
between Chicago and st. Paul. This
tariff which reduced rates on commodi-
ties from 40 to so per cent, was adopted
In order to enable the Chicago lines to
meet the competition of the Northern
routes, but Judge Cooley gave it as his
opinion that the tariff was illegal for the
reason that the difference between car
road and less than car load lots was too
great. The freight agents accordingly
addressed themselves to the task of
bringing rates to a basis in conformity
with the law, and agreed upon an aver
age advance amounting TO about 80 per
cent. Some commodities were restored
to the regular tariff, while others were
advanced to such an extent that the dis
crepancy between car load and less than
car load lots should not be so marked.

AFFAIRS IN EUROPE
Intriguing for Crete,

Intriguing TOT Cr0tes
LONDON, Aug. licking George of
Greece and his premier, Tricoupis, are
bewailing the fate of Crete since they
received the very emphatic "No' of the
powers to their modest proposition to
interfere. The papers of Athens take
little comfort from the promises of the
new Turkish governor, Chakir Pasha,
that he will treat the insurgents with
liberality. They explain the rejection
OF the Greek propositions by the powers
BY the assertion that England, notwith-
standing her declaimers, is intriguing
for tho possessions of the porte and is
using the triple alliance as an instru-
ment for the accomplishment of her de-
signs.

mute the sentence of death passed upon
Mrs. Maybrick to Imprisonment for life.

formal assent of the queen has been re-
celved. The conference at the home
office was chiefly occupied in determin-
ing the best means of showing clemency
to the condemned without offending the
dignity of Judge Stephen, whose stand
In support of the justice of the verdict
remains uncompromising. There is no
doubt now that Mrs. Maybrick will not
be allowed to hang, but to what extent
the power of the queen will be exerted
in her behalf is still uncertain.
