Latest Railroad Developments in the
Home Field.

Home Field.
A Fort Benton special of October 81
says: Details of the Lethbridge & Fort
Benton railroad, just published, show
that this long talked of project will
shortly be under way. The Promoters
of this enterprise on this side of the At.
lantic are the following prominent gem
tlemen: Sir Alexander Il. Gait of Can
ada, Hon. s. L. Hauser of Helena and
the Conrad Brothers of Fort Benton.
They have associated with them Bar
land, and other capitalists of that coun-
try. The stock is all subscribed, CON
tracts for building the line are signed
and work will be commenced both at
Fort Benton and Lethbridge early next
spring. The road is to be narro W
gauge and will be built in as direct line
as possible from Lethbridge to Fort
Benton via Sweet Grass hills, distance
of 1856 miles. At some point between
the crossing of the Teton river and Fort
Benton branch will be built to con-
meet with the Montana Central, which
can be reached within about forty miles.
Thomas l.. Nixon, president of the
Port Eaton railroad, informed the
Orondo News that the plan of his COM
pany is to have cars running from Ell
lonsburg to Port Eaton on the Columbia
river by the first of June or July AT
farthest. If the government fails to
make the proper appropriation to
open Cabinet and Rock Island rapids
this winter in congress, another steamer
of light draft will be put on the Columbia
to run from Port Eaton to above Rock
Island rapids, connecting with the
steamer City of Ellensburg for the up
per lriver. IL it should prove impractic-
able to run the rapids safely at low
stages of water portage road will be
built around Cabinet and Rock Island,
being a six-mile portage. President
Nixon informed the News that Engineer
Wards party left Port Eaton q month
ago on an exploring and surveying ex-
pedition, with the view of selecting the
route of their road to where II will inter
sect the Central Washington railroad.
Connecting with the Central thus they
will secure through rail route to Spo-
kane Falls and Okanogan mines by way
of Foster creek.

probable that the old route viii be aban-
honcd. IL cost millions to build IL; yet
that fact Is no reason why IL will be ope-
rated in the future, ii II is not worth

be built north to Flathead lake in few
years, and that will be ole reason foi
keeping up the road. The timber and

the Washington line will be another
good reason for preserving the old line.

OPINION IN NEW YORK.

New YoRK, Oct. 2-The traffic agree,
ment between the Northwestern and
Union Pacific has created a great deal
of discussion among railroad officials In
this city. Vice President Sykes. of the
Northwestern road said tonight that
the contract is not an exclusive arrange
ment between both roads in the sense
of either road refusing to handle the bus
mess of other companies. The Rock
Island & Burlington have western con-
nection of their own, and the al lance
between the Northwestern and the
Union Pacific is simply in the line ,oi
other systems. The arrangement does
not go into effect east of Chicago, and
Vice President Sykes said he had no
knowledge tnat the allied lines intended

THE TESTIMONY.


Counsel for defense then one by one
waived their right to make each an
opening address, and the taking of testi-
mony began.
The first witness was Francis Villers,
ex-captain of the Lakevicw police. His
testimony was unimportant except tho
one fact that he knew DR.. Cronin In his
lifetime and that as the body was being
conveyed from the catch basin to the
morgue he had identified it as that of
the dead doctor.
James l. Boland, cashier in a coal
dealers Office and associate of DR.. Cronin
In various secret societies, also gave tes.
timony AS to tho identity of the body
and 10 the location oil DR.. Cronin's office.
Lawyer Forrest, for the defense, elected
rom Boland on cross.examination the
fact that, contrary to general belief,
Cronin's office was so situated that a
view into Its windows could not be OBJ
tanned from the Clark street Hat sup
posed to have been hired by the accused.
Cronin's s Office did not front on Clark
street. being in the rear of the building
and facing on an alley.
Several other witnesses were examined
before adjournment, their testimony re-
lating wholly to the finding and identi-
tication of the corpse. Nothing more of
importance was brought out

ten, one at least, by Dunno, to the Irish
leader, Matt Harris. 1t is now proposed
to forward to the other side as formid-
ably signed petition as can be secured,

Resumption of the Sittings of
the Commission.
BIGGAR AND DAVlTT PRESENT.
A Statement by the Latter Ex-
planning His Appearance
as q Witness.

LONDON, Oct. A.-The Parnell com
mission resumed its sitting to-day. Jo-
seph Biggar member Of parliament, who
appeared in his own behalf addressed
the commission.
Michael Davitt followed him. He
said In addressing the commission, that
he was running counter to the opinion
OF the people of Ireland, who endorsed
the, withdrawal from tho case OF Parncll
and his colleague. He was impelled to
the course he adopted by two cardinal
70 truth and justice, and the defense oi
the Character and cause of the Irish
pensantry, Davitt declared, that
although he was no longer Fcnian, II
the condition of Ireland were
the same as 1t was twenty-five years
ago he would DO a Fenian again. Some
OF the aims of tho Fenians had been ful-
hlled already. The land league was
based on the same patriotic spirit, and
was fast relieving the barriers which
prevent Great Britain from giving just
leo to Ireland. The day was fast ap.
preaching when Dublin castle would
quietly submit to the fate of the Irish
church.
AT the very time the Fenian outrages
were being committed, the Manchester
trade commission was in session, aud
evidence was given before 1t showing the
worst kind Of outrages there, for which
outrages no one was ever brought to
justice.
He denied tho statement of Patrick
Delaney, the convicted dynamiter, who
was brought from Ireland TO London TO
testify for the Times, that the amnesty
movement was under Fenian control,
liberatc perjury. No agent, he declared,
had done niorc to keep alive the national
antipathy OF the Irish in America than

with regard to the extermination OF the
people in Ireland resulting from great

HINTS TO PROsPECTORs.


One of the common errors of miners is
to entertain ideas and methods OF min
ing learned in one camp and try to ap-
ply them in another of different con-
ditions and circumstances; such, to a
great extent, Is the case In some of our
surrounding camps. Ceur d'Alenc set
precedent that has been too closely
followed, Here nearly all of the prop
critics brought fabulous sums with little
or no developments and comparatively
little available values, especially to
the prospector. In very few of these,
when prospects, could ton, or any
number of tons of ore, have been shipped
at a profit, nor have they been made so
without the expenditure of large sums of
money; hut the conditions were such as
to invite the attention Of men of means.
and warrant the expenditure of large
amounts Of capital. There were large
bodies OF ore that required extensive ore
dressing plants to put II in marketable
shape, but the evident amount of ore
and facilities justified tho investment
and expenditures. Since then great
deal Of attention has been given to this
expense of other favorable conditions.
Especially is this the case at Pend
d. d'0reille, Okonagan and other camps !;
here there are numerous small veins of
high grade ore, that at pres
ent showing do not justify the attention
of men of means, nor the
investment of large sums of money, but
are properties that men of but little
means can extract limited quantities of
ore Of q. grade that will make the work
ing of them very remuncrative employ
ment, with the possibility of their de-
veloping into something better. A
great bulk of the ore in Colorado and
Nevada Is from Just such q source.
Miners not only work their own ground
in this way, but work that of companies
on tribute"
The sooner the miners ofthcse sections
adopt this the better, now that they
have sampler and market for their
ores at Spokane, which will greatly
assist them In the matter. The time Is
past when prospects sell on the reputa-
ments nowadays are made by or under
tho direction of mining men who are
capable of estimating value and
amounts, and Judge of properties by the
individual merits and not by compari-
son with others. However we'll q pros
pect might pay interest on the invest
nent yet the profits on small properties
do not Justify the attention Of men OF
means liz those remote districts. besides
owners and individuals can work them al
much greater profit than can men whose
attentions are required at other places.
The sooner prospectors realize this, the
sooner they will realize on their pros
