Neihart and Barker.

The following interesting letter regard
ing Neihart and Barker we take from
the Mining Review of Nov. 20, signed
j. F.
have just returned from trip among
the mines of Neihart and the Carbonate
district. On my arrival at Neihart. in
company with Mr.. Armington, everything
was lively and had the appearance of a
coming "boom." The old log houses that
had been about half completed years ago,
are now being completed and new ones
are going up as fast as mechanics can be
employed to do the work. Town lots are
in demand and rents are going up. The
old houses and cabins that have been va
cant for years are being occupied by the
new comers. 1t reminds one of bygone
days.
Neihart has one store, one blacksmith
shop, four saloons and two livery stables,
two restaurants, one Chinese restaurant
unfortunately for Neihart. CThank God,
there are none in Barker, if may Divert,
Cinnamon | mean.
1t is reported that two new stores will
be opened very soon, also new lodging
house, and there is talk Of a hotel being
built Immediately. The stage is loaded
with passengers every trip, besides num-
bers of private conveyances and freight
teams loaded with furniture and mer-
chandise. Indications point to the fact
that they are coming to stay
After lunch we were guided by Dick
Bremen up Carpenter creek, thence up
Snow creek to the Cornicopia mine,
where we were shown some very rich
silver ore, the vein matter being about
four feet wide at depth of thirty feet
We next visited the Jenny Whipple,
which has tunnel about forty feet in,

Democrats Try Bribing.

HELENA, Nov. 23.-[Special to the
LEADER. Auditor Kenney was ap-
preached this morning by the boodlers
and offered $4,000 if he would call the
democratic roll in the house, but he in
dignantly refused.
Frank Cochran, formerly of the LEAD
Err office, was elected page in the house,
and made a telling speech of thanks, re-
ceiving much applause.
The house sent committee to inform
the governor of its organization, but he
had gone to the democratic powwow at
Broadwater's house. Adjourned till Mon
day.
The feeling is that the republicans are
ahead. They are unanimous and firm
against the democratic steal.
The Anaconda fire is under control.

Got Away With the Money.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 23,-It was reported
tonight that James A. Smith, president
OF the Smith ice and fuel company which
tailed last week, has not been seen for
several days, with 100000 of other peo-
pies money. For several weeks prior to
the failure, instead of depositing the
nrms receipts in the bank, he placed
them to his own account. The COMPANY
has liabilities of about $15O,OOO and as.
sets of about $1,000. So low has every-
thlng been run down nearly all the plant
IS mortgaged.

ions on the condition of Ireland conclud
ing with an extract from Edmund
Burke's famous speech:
Gan Irishman commits felony in breath
ing the air of heaven"
"Ireland's laws must have been con-
trived by devils and registered in hell"
Law is represented in Ireland by the
hangman and the taX-collector, but the
eternal fire still burns, kept alive by her
sons in Ireland and America. They
have sworn and yearly renew their
pledge never to cease to agitate, to plot,
or to sieze every opportunity to establish
Irish independence
Compare the condition of England and
Ireland. Work chokes the arteries of
the one. Poverty glides over inani-
mate Ireland. The landlords are the
modern Shylocks. Possessing no real
title to the land, though every legal pow
er, they should still remember to be mer-
ciful to take but the pound of flesh, to
remember the injunction of the Mosaic
law Eye shall not muzzle the OK that
treads the corn"
Look at the peasant proprietors of Ger
many and France; see our own freehold
ers; only on England's coast the dark
shadow fingers. The gulf between Eng
land and Ireland is too wide for states
manship to bridge and 100 deep for acts
of atonement to fill. Ireland but asks
that the partnership be dissolved. Let
England take all the assets; let her take
the intellectual fame of Swift, Steel,
| Moore and Grafton; let her take all the
land possessions won in part by Irish
| Drawn and valor, Australia, India, Can
ada, give Ireland but the moiety of her
birthright, her liberty and she is CON
tent"
The exercises closed by another Of Mr..
Delaney's patriotic songs, "God Save Ire
land"
| From this time on till the whistle of
the train warned them at three o'clock,
the company engaged in dancing. The
hall was almost too crowded for comfort
but everyone was good natured and came
away with nothing but words of praise
for the management. An elegant repast
was served at 12 p. M at the restaurant
of Billy Reavley and like all else was
duly appreciated.

There are some fine chunks of ore in

it has not been cross-cut. The tunnel is
ninety-tive feet and Messrs. Clifton &

Messrs. ketchum & Kneisel have com

promising indications.
The grading on the Belt railroad ex-

1t was dark before we descended the
mountain, and we could see candle lights
in every direction, from the numerous
prospectors' cabins, which were miles
from the town. 1t is evident that they
are determined to work their claims all
winter. The mineral belt is far more ex-
tensive than I anticipated. Neihart will
no doubt be an extensive chloridising
camp as well as base ore camp. 1t is
dead sure thing that Neihart will boom
immensely before another year. The
rapid construction of the Belt railroad
has surprised the miners, and believe
the miners of Neihart will surprise the
railroad company right back before an
other year, and I assure you it will be
very agreeable surprise all around.
Messrs. Clark & Eaton have put ON
force of miners on the Monarch mine and
they will push work as rapidly as posi-
bic. They are taking out some fine ore
in cross vein, besides pushing the tun-
mel forward. Their intention is to build
smelter in the spring at Monarch, a new
town at Martins ranch, terminus of the
Belt railroad, for the present.
The Moulton is progressing finely.
They are taking out rich ore and push
ing developments with force of ten
men.
There is report that force of miners
will be put at work on the Queen of the
Hills to develop it. A large tonnage of
ore could be shipped from this mine if
the proper amount of capital was put up
to expedite the development of it, as it
should be, and if the ore could be treated
near at home as cheaply as it can at Den
yer, Col

 The little pages, however, hold the real sinecures. They get $75 per month each, and their duties are light for boys. They answer calls of members, and carry notes for them back and forth throughout the Capitol, and occasionally deliver messages for them in the city, although the latter duty is especially the province of the messengers called mounted pages," who are furnished with good horses to carry them from place to place in this ''city of magnii- cent distances"
 The holding of all these offices is set tied, ultimately, by the caucus. Then the lucky statesman who becomes Speaker appoints the various commit tees of the House, and each chairman of committee so appointed has the power of appointment of committee clerk, at salaries ranging from 5000 to S3,000 per annum each. Thus, you see, there is much determined by the caucus in addi- tion to the selection of the main offices, for they are merely preliminary to the work of the House. SMITH D. FRY.

Remarkable Case.

Remarkable case of a dream coming
true is told by Thomas J. Stewart, a
painter living at 1889 Franklin-av., Col
umbus. He says, "Some time ago I
lost my wife, and following the sad
event l have been thinking about her
day and night. 1t preyed on my mind
and effected my sleep so much thst |
have had one dream after another about
her. One night l heard her familiar
voice calling me distinctly, saying,
"Tom, get me out of the water, Pm
wet" 1 had the same dream on three
following nights. I could not rest with
out investigating the strange vislta-
tions, and communicating my dream to
friends we went out and had the grave
opened. When we reached the coffin
the ground about it was wet and soggy
and beneath the box was water. On
opening the lid we found the coffin full
of water and the body of my wife float
ing. We at once remedied the trouble
and returned home. From that time /
have experienced no further visitations
at night"

conjunction and is used to connect the
verb ma'am to the noun boy. This is
a compound sentence Of which boy is

Double Murder at indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 16.-John Schroe-
der, German saloon-keeper, 81 years old,
Mortified the city by the murder of his
wife under peculiarly atrocious circum-
stances. Mrs. Schroeder, carrying g.
months-old baby, went into the bar
room where her husband was opening
for the day. Apparently in fit of in
sanity he sprang upon her and almost
severed her head from her body with a
razor. The woman fell to the floor, died
instantly, and tie blood almost drowned
the child. Schroeder ran to the com
mon near by, knelt down and killed
himself with the razor used on his wife.
There was hereditary insanity in the
family. Schroeder was well to do.
