ORC FINO DISTRICT.

A friend of The MAIL sends us the
following brief items regarding the Orc
Fino mining district and its mines and
| prospects,:
AMERICAN RURY-Under the manage
ment of our late townsman, Mr.. Hoyer,
the American Ruby is looming up. A
few assays taken show better than 400
ounces in silver per ton, while others run
from 36 ounces upwards.
GOSPEL MoUETA1N-A good strike is
reported in this company's property.
Nothing definite vet.
CHAMPION Still shipping ore, while
work on the mill is going on finely, al
though the stock sales are few and quiet;
still the price remains firm.
NoTEs-Chas. 3. Gable, superinten-
dent of the Mountain Lion. was busy for
a day, entertaining st. Louis friends.
They visited the mine and were more
than pleased at the very bright outlook.
ALI the rest of the prospects are
progressing finely, and the winter bids
fair to develop some good mines in the
Oro Emo district.

LONDON, Nov. 11.-Lord Brassey has
written letter to the master light
ermen concurring in the contention
of Cardinal Manning and the lord mayor
of London that the masters are bound
by the Brassey agreement to concede the
demands of the men.
st. Paul.-David Townsend, an engin-
eer employed at the Aberdeen flats, cor
ner of Dayton and Virginia avenues,
fell down the elevator shaft, breaking
both legs and sustaining such severe in
ternal injuries that he is almost certain
to die.
Minneapolis Senator Washburn is
reported as having said that J. S. Pills
bury, G. A. Pillsbury, F. G. Pillsbury,
himself, and four English associates will
form the board Of directors of the syn
dicate which has bought the mills and
water power for the next five years. The
Minneapolis mills are turning out nearly
10000 barrels Of flour per day now. It
requires about 10000 bushels of wheat
daily to supply them

ITEMS FROM GRAY BACK GULCH.

Special correspondence to The MAIL,
We took trip up this gulch last Fri
day for the especial purpose of looking
up the surrounding country as we'll as to
learn the general doings of this camp,
and your correspondent thought the
readers Of The MAIL would like to hear
from this rich section of Montana:
We left Virginia City (Montana) and
finally wandered up a long gulch, for
about six miles, and 1t becoming dark we
pulled IN for a good nights rest. Our
first view in sight the next morning was
to inspect some good placer diggings IN
this gulch, which were owned and worked
by the Messrs. Hall brothers, of Virginia
City. We were shown over this extern
sive claim by Milton Titus, a gentleman
who is an old pathfinder through the
CRur d'Alenes and other mining districts
A little further on brings us up to a
quartz mining claim, which is being
worked by syndicate-the Granite
Mining and Smelling company, of Phil
ipsburg. They have in their employ in
the neighborhood of twenty-five or thirty
men, sinking shaft, and likewise run
ming drift We believe they are Gown
about $50 Or perhaps more on their
shaft, and are still working with good
prosperity. This company have gone to
considerable expense in the way of erect
ing good shaft-houses and the putting
in of machinery. They are now running
three shifts to their full capacity.
There are a good number Of buildings
remaining here yet, which we're built a
few years ago when this camp took a
general BOOM" Quite number Of the
former inhabitants still remain, believing
future is in store for them There are
several families in the place, and have
been for years, who will still retain their
quarters as long as the glimmer of that
bright and lustrous dollar shows upon
the surface. There are millions in this
camp yet, and all that it requires to de-
veiop them is capital. This place will
no doubt be a second Leadville or a
hold of it. The mineral Is all here,
md properly worked can be made one of
the boss mining camps OF Montana.
4 few miles distant from this place,
and almost in northeasterly direction,
trict. This is but new camp, and but
lately started, and there is neither ac-
commodations for man or beast, but the
companies are doing all they can to make
the camp a final success, and before long
YOU will hear Of vast amount of work
being done. They are erecting new
buildings as rapidly as they can procure
the lumber There are now close onto
about 200 or $50 men engaged IN various
pursuits of work, and the mighty hammer
is heard from morn till night.
We will give the readers of The PHIL
PsBURG NAIL further description of
these camps in future as the general
work progresses.

All we Need is the Heat.

The weather in Philipsburg and vicin-
ity for the past few days has been ex-
tremely cold-at least it has felt so by
our inhabitants on account of the recent
pleasant weather. The Mails 'devil''
made quite brilliant hit when he intl-
mated that things might be averaged up
a good deal better during the cold winter
months if our inhabitants could only
prevail upon his satanic majesty to i'm
part a little of the superabundant
warmth of his royal kingdom to the ice
of Butte's sulphur fumes we might be
happy. We have everything else.

DIPS, SPURS AND ANGLES.

In his annual report, Governor Mellette,
of South Dakota, says that the tin mines
in the Black Hills are attracting a great
deal of interest and within the last year
company of foreign capitalists has been
organized with heavy capital to de-
velop what is known as the Harvey Peak
properties, located in Remington and
Custer counties It is the opinion of ex-
perts, the governor says that these mines
contain the largest and most valuable
aggregation Of tin veins ever brought to
the attention of the world. The governor
speaks of the treatment of these ores and
says they require no roasting, as is the
case with foreign ore.

HIGH WATER IN THE CONEMAUGH

Several Bridges Swept Away-The Johns
town Dam Will Give way-Houses Tn
der Water.
JoHNsTowN, Pa, Nov. 1.-THE high
water in the Conemaugh river, caused
by the recent heavy rains is causing
great anxiety among residents of the
lowlands in the valley. Several bridges
along the stream have already been
swept away. The large bridge connect
ing Cambria City with MilIville, erected
by Gen. Hastings after the food in May,
IS damaged beyond repair. The Golfer
dam at the Pennsylvania railroad bridge
is also badly damaged, and will probably
be entirely swept out. In Woodvale the
lower floors of many houses are several
inches under water The water is rising
rapidly, and the indications are Tor more
rain.

A DRESS CIRCLE AFFAIR.

Ladies Take all Absorbing Interest in the
Cronin Trial-Expert Testimony Be-
gun.
case was resumed Judge McConnelrs IS
court room resembled the dress circle of
a theatre. More than half the audience
were women, and the closest attention
was paid to the proceedings
Gerhard Wardell, a gardener at 1929
North Ashland avenue, was the first wit
ness called. In reply to Mr.. Mills ques-
tions, Wardel testified that on Saturday,
May 4, while on his way home about
1890 p. M, he reached the corner of
Otto and Ashland avenue and noticed
two men who were walking about 900
feet ahead Of him. They walked across
Ashland avenue and entered the Carlson
cottage by the front door, Witness de-
scribed the men. One was large man,
about feet II inches, and the other was
about feet inches tall. Witness saw
them plainly when they entered the cot
tage and saw a light inside, through one
of the shutters. Next day witness and
his wife passed the cottage on their way
to mass, and witness saw blood on the
steps and on the plank walk over the
ditch in front of the house.
DIR. Egbert was recalled and said that
he had cut a lock Of hair from the head
of DR.. Cronin's dead body at the time he
made the autopsy. Part of this he
placed in a jar which was sealed, and
part he gave to Capt. Schuettler. This
was the beginning of the expert testi-
mony. Professor Haines, the expert
chemist of the Rush Medical college,
which position he has held for fourteen
years, next went on the stand and said
that he had examined small chip of
wood with reddish stains on it, some cot
ton and blush paper with red stains and
part of the lock Of hair. By chemical
tests he found that the stains were those
of blood. He described at length the
manner in which he made the tests. but
said that such tests could not determine
whether the blood was that of human
being or an animal.
The witness went on to say that he
took three hairs from the bunch given
him and let them remain on piece of
soap, 50 arranged as to have only one
end on the soap. He left them there two
weeks. That bleached them somewhat,
and he placed other hairs in a strong So
luton Of alkali, which took out the color
more rapidly. Judge Wing objected to
the introduction of this testimony as i'm
proper and illegal, as being in the nature
of an experiment. The court then took
the objection under consideration, and
the articles were withdrawn for the time
being. The significance of the testimony
regarding the bleaching OF the hairs by
soap will be apparent when DR.. Belfield
will testify regarding the color of the
hair found sticking to piece Of soap in
the Carlson cottage This hair was dis
colored in a manner identical with that
caused by the soap on the hair taken
from the trunk. Judge Wing cross
examined the witness and the cross-ex-
animation was still in progress when a
recess was taken.

AN ADVERTISEMENT,

AN Adv
To the good people of Philipsburg:
You will probably noticed posters
upon the dead walls of your town sundry
notices of sheriff S sale of personal prop
erty Of one j. Nj. Reynolds, the unfortun-
ate undersigned
Now the facts of the matter is just
this: That in June, 1889, was aesoci-
ated with one w. W. Farrall, and in the
transaction became associated with him
in the saloon business. I bought the
said Farrall out Of the business in
August last, and in this transaction gave
him my note for 500.
Farrall sold me six g. bottles of bit
ters and barrel of Whiskey with false
bottom, the contents of said barrel being
highly adulterated with water, for this
stuff I gave the aforesaid note.
While Farrall held the note referred to
I became the possessor of note of his
for the sum Of $3.50. This note I now
have and will probably always have.
A few days ago the old sheriff of this
county, Edward H. Moore, seized some
coidials and a gasoline stove in my sa :oon
building, this seizure being made to sat-
isfy an execution of 500. and $13.25
costs judgment secured upon the identl-
cal note referred to.
At the time OF the seizure there was
50 900 in currency in my safe that the
sheriff, or rather his deputy, did not get.
To get what they did they had to run
bluff on my barkeeper, and in swooping
h1m in did not get enough to pay costs.
would say that while my paper was
yet in the hands of Farrall it was pro-
tested, and then passed into the possess
sion of one Fred Ferrell, son of w. w.
Ferrall, alias j. J. Ferrell, who in turn
assigned them to the banking firm of
Jos. A. Hyde & Co., they being the plain
tiffs in the action under which Judgment
was got against me in the t'arrall matter.
I would now state that do not owe j.
J. or w. w. Farrall anything, but to the
contrary he owes me. l will further
state that the very goods to be sold by
the sheriff was never paid for by the said
Farra or Ferrell, but are yet owing for
to H. L. FRANKIE, of Butte, and although
sold to me, and paid for, will not do Mr..
Frank much good.
am still at the old stand (St. Louis
Brewery and set the same elegant lunch
that my patrons have enjoyed in the last
two weeks and those who wish to know
any more about this matter will please
call around and we'll talk it over.
Ia the mean time as Farrall or Ferreu
or Farrell or Ferrau has got his work in,
the bitters and gasoline stove will have
to 60, as have an idea that the sale will
come off near myplace I would advise the
investing public to attend and get bar
gains.
Respectfully, J. NJ. REYNOLDS.

THE CRONIN MYSTERY.
CLOTHES, INSTRUMENTS, PRES
CRlPTION BOOK FOUND.
A Sewer Overf.0ws and the Arti-
cieS are Fisheei Ont The Chi
cagO Courtroom Filled with La-
dieS-PrOgress OF the Trial.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE sensation In
connection with the all-absorbing Cronin
case was the finding of the surgical case
and clothes Of the murdered physician
and the forging of another link in the
chain of circumstantial evidence that
turks omniously around the conspirators.
For some time complaints have been
made to the sewer department of the
Lakeview station that the sewer at the
intersection of Evanston avenue and
Buena avenue was flush and running
over. Two or three swer cleaners were
detailed to investigate the cause of this
trouble. After some hooking and dig
ging two valises were unearthed-one a
leather one and the other the remnants
of paper one. It the leather valise was
found DIR. Cronin's prescription book
bearing his signature. The paper one
dropped to pieces as it was pulled out.
and from it rolled out a
Mass of Tattered Clothing
that bore the evidence of having been
cut in strips by a sharp knife. The only
intact garment was the vest, which was
in the center, and which encircled the
doctors case Of surgical instruments.
The clothing had evidently been cut and
the buttons removed in the hope that
they would soon drop apart and be borne
away by the waters into the lake. The
surgical case and prescription book bore
the doctors name, and they: as well as
every article of outward clothing
were recognized by the Conklins
and dozen other friends as the
property of the murdered physician.
The most damaging of all circumstances
for the prisoners is the fact that all this
was found only one block from where
the bloody trunk was discovered after it
had been thrown hurriedly from the
wagon on the night of May 4, OF only a
half-mile south Of where the body of Dr.
Cronin was found in the catch-basin.
The paper valise is supposed to have
been the one purchased by u. Fl. ST.
monds'' from A. Fl. ReveH & Co.
Explodes the Tin Box Theory.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE discovery Of
the clothing and instruments rather
knocks the theories clustering around the
heavy tin box which Burke took to Tin
smith Klahre, and which was so securely
soldered together. 1t is possible that the
clothes came back from Winnipeg and

to the legitimate differences following
Burke's tin box, but this is hardly prob
able. What did Burke have in the box?
If the secrets of the man-hole had been
revealed after May 4, and before the
body was found, the evidence would
have been of the greatest value. At
DrQSQnt the clOthino iS not nea1nd &c avi
dence Whatever effect this latest devel-
opment in the Cronin case may have, it
will certainly prove beyond all doubt
that DR.. Cronin fell beneath the blows of
brutal and cowardly assassins.

Hart's Late.

Having noticed the recent articles in the
papers about this orange, | have to add
my testimony to having seen large trees
of it in the Bel Air grove, near Sanford,
last winter, which was told wereplanted
by General Sanford under the name
Brown" Mr.. E. H. Hart, who was the
chief agent in introducing it to the public,
does not claim that he originated the
tree, but thinks he got it from Mr.. S. B.
Parsons stock. / am sorry to see the
name so contorted "Tardiff" is not the
proper name, as it is neither French nor
English, but is corruption of the word
''tardive," which is French word mean
ing 'late," and if the orange had come
from France, or we were French people, it
might do to say ''Hart's Tardive," but
never ''Tardiff" +" H. E. VAN DEMAN.

our visitors to unduly expose themselves
to needless danger. On the excursion
given to the beach on the Fourth ofJuly;
a young man informed me he was carried
out beyond his depth; in his effort to re-
gain the shore he was attacked with the

the foregoing it can be seen that those
who love fishing, hunting; sailing, rowing
and bathing cannot find any more desir-
able place than south of Mosquito Inlet,
