One reason why Montana went democratic t

THE COLvILLE MINEE.
Tho Outlook Exceedingly Encouraging
in That Sec.,cu.s xss

Judge John B. Slater, of ColviIle,
who is now in the city, on beiag inter.
viewed by Rerie,o reporter, makes tho
following statement concerning the Sec
tion he represents.
Colville has completed every arrange.
ment for an uninterrupted advent of the
incoming Spokane l. Northern railway
and the assurance OF means Of trans
portation has given new impetus to every
method Of enterprise in the whole north
ern section. Forty acres of land
adjoining the city have been purchased
by the town people and donated to the
railroad company for depot purposes.
The right of way has also been secured
along the route down the valley. There
is considerable demand for town property
which can be had at reasonable figures
just now; but Colvile dirt, ike that Of
other progressive cities, is subject to
occasional advances in price as circum.
stances suggests.
THE MINING OUTLOOK !,
is good, in fact more encouraging than
ever. The old dominion has come down
to solid basis and every foot of work on
the lode pays zig dividends. The Chug-
stone creek properties are being devel-
oped to paying propositions in many
instances. The Tepderfoot in this dis.
trict Is one OF the best prospects under
headway. West of Colville Is the Daisy
mine which is the largest body Of silver
bearing ore in the whole northern
country. There is over four feet Of vein
IN ore that will yield $50 per ton in
silver ut the depth OF 270 feet. II. G.
Bell, at the head Of a syndicate of
sroKANE CAPITALIST,
is pushing the work on this mine to the
utmost and by April lst will be able to
furnish ore sufficient to keep up fires in
the Colvi'lc smelter the year round.
There are dozens Of other mines that will
pay to work on the ore in sight.
A word about lands is always in place
and that kind Of realty is valuable.
especially is this tour Of the meadow
lands Of the valley, very little Of which
is open to market. There is large
section Of country north of Colville that
is open to settlement aud is valuable to
stockmen Tor the reason OF the fine ranges
Tor stock adjacent. In fact, very littls
can be said Of the Colville country by-
way OF praise that will fall short Of the
truth, and the people have good reason
to be thankful for the many advantages
that will be opened up by the Spokane
& Northern. - Revie,O.

A MAGIcIAN's aPARRows.

Last week Hermann, the magician,
was standing with half dozen gentle.
men near one Of the trees in Front of
Wizards hotel The branches were full
of chattering English sparrows. Said
Mr.. Hermann: II cut zis from q
newspaper about how to eat &c sparrow, /"
and he read as follows:
"Take a fat little bird by the beak,
sprinkle little salt over it, take out the
gullet, put tho bird cle,crly into your
mouth. bite him of close to your fngurcs
and chew him manfully; the result will
DO an abundance Of juice to envelop the
whole organ, and you will enjoy pleas
ure unknown to the vulgar. Frogs
legs, blue points, little neck clans, terra.
pin, plover, evt trything would give way
before the sparrow, according to this
description, If once placed on the bills Of
fare Of the fashionable cafes"
"That is very WE'LL" said one Of the
gentlemen, "but how are you going to get
the little rascals? They are too small to
shoot and too ely and lively to be
caught"
"Oh, you are mistaken. 1t is very
easy to catch 70 sparrow. See, now,
catch one" aud he made grab into the
atmosphere and, sure enough, got cock
sparrow 10 his hand that chattersd and
pecked viciously. Hermann showed Ut
the plumpness Of the little bird to hia
staring friends. saying:
"Now. my little friend, do not hurt me
All, you get away" and the sparrow
escaped and few up to limb, where b.
smoothed his feathers and looked very
mad.
II will catch anodder," said Hermann
and, making another grab, secured an
other sparro~, this time hen.
Presently he let her 70 and said
"Now. l viii try and catch two sparrew1
at one time. and. making clutch, took
in bis hand With tso spaTrovs in Il.
As he allowed them TO escape he
remarked With his honest smile that
would take iu . horse dealer, &you zee
gentlemen the sparrow 10 not hard
bird to catch sef you Only kabw how 10
catch him"

TT MUST BE
No "White Cap" Business Will be
Permitted Around Here.

Mike Jordan, one of Mexico's
most quiet and peaceable citizens
received the following threatening
letter a day or so ago and knows
who wrote it:
eve have our eye on you and
the next time hat you or any of
your family disturb the public
peace you will have to leave town
or fare worse. We never warn but
once. WHITE CAPs.'
"White Capisrn" has no friends
in Mexico or Audrain county and
the writer of the above letter had
best stink into his hole. The
trouble already given Mr.. Jordan
was decided in the courts to be an
outrage, and any sneaking attempt
at revenge will be promptly and
summarily punished.

at times, nodding to acquaintance
here and there and exchanging a
word or two with those he knew
nearest him. He gave no evidence
of anxiety, appearing to have much
less concern in the matter of his
trial than the most idle spectator.
A number of spectators gathered
about him and engaged the prison.
er in conversation. He was quite
talkative but said nothing about
his case. He remarked that it was
very pleasant to him to sec SO
many faces and hear so much talk
ing, after a year Of almost utter Sc
clusien. Efforts to draw him into
conversation concerning himself
were futile. Meanwhile, the spscta-
tors drifted aboutthe room changing
seats and opinions as to the result
of the trial. All sorts of hopes
were expressed, though little real
feeling in any direction was mani.
tested.

room was we'll filled with specta-
tors. A number of ladies were
seats Just inside the railing
and Immediately back of the pris-
Miller, the man on trial for
his life, sat near a small table about
fifteen feet to the left and in front
of the Jury. He paid close attention
to the speakers most OF the time,
but occasionally his mind seemed to
leave the scene ofhis surroundings.
At such times, he weuld rest his
arm on the table and looking
off toward the ceiling, would
become apparently lost to all about
him. His lids blinked rapidly, but
his face gave no token of uneasi-
ness. The prisoner was -cleanly
shaven, and aside from the ap-
pearance of a slightly lighter color
in his face, there were no visible i'll
effects of his long confinement.
The jury is as follows: J. II.
Worsham, J.. NJ. Pearson, D. w.
Hill, T. J. Seal, w. B. Scott, w.
w. Bolts, J. D. Scroggins, Thomas
Raftery, J. F. Barnaby, X. S.
Fletcher, H. slavens, Joseph
Lockridge.
Miller's story, told to the coro-
ner's jury u year ago, but which he
was not given AN opportunity to
repeat at his trial, is as follows
Mortimer left the house last
Monday night;came back just before
day Tuesday. He acted troubled
when he came in. [ talked with
HIM about the killing Thursday
when we went fishing. He told
me hat he killed Apgar and asked
what kind of a man he was The
night he was arrested he tried to
get away but could not. He did
not say anyone was with him but
said he did it by himself and went
by himself. | thought a heap Of
old man Apgar, and when Mortimer
acted SO funny l took him fishing
to pump him; and the reason I did
not tell till now is that he told me
he would kill me If I did. l die
not know he was IL bad man until
pumped him the day we went fish
ing. l had nothing to do with the
stealing Or killing and would have
told sooner but was afraid. | hac
no talk with Mortimer's wife abou'
the pistol on the night George was
arrested. l did not tell Fawceti
not to talk
