The Neihart Cumberland,

The Cumberland mine at Castle has
become famous, but it must look to its
laurels or the Neihart Cumberland will
outrank it. This mine, the property Of
the Neihart Cumberland mining COM
pany, is situated right among the best
mines in Neihart, having for extensions
or neighbors such mines as the Queen OF
the Hills, Moulton, Gait and others. A
contract has just been let by the company
to extend the tunnel 200 feet and work
has already commenced. This tunnel
follows the lead and is now in 225 feet.
When this contract is completed it will
penetrate the mountain 425 feet, attaining
a depth of about $50 feet. Fine bodies
of ore are shown in the tunnel, and shaft
above. The company has already sold
enough of its treasury stock to proceed
IN an extensive scale with the work of
development.

A we'll attended meeting of the board
of trade was held Thursday evening at the
Townsite Office, President Paris Gibson
presiding. Various subj acts OF interest,"
to the city were discussed without final
action being taken. The proposition TO
send II representative OF the board east to
advertise the city was voted down, as 1t
was thought best not to undertake work
of that kind at the present time.
The president announced that the reg
ular annual election of officers OF the
board would take place on the second
Saturday in January.
President Gibson directed the attention
of the board to the matter of securing for
Great Falls manufactures of various
kinds. He referred incidentally to the
work being done in this direction by the
cities of st. Paul, Minneapolis and Du-
luth, all basing their future prosperity on
manufacturing enterprises, and con
tended that Great Falls, by reason of
natural advantages, such as cheap water
power and cheap coal, should even out
strip any of these cities as a manufactur-
ing center.
Capt. Jensen SAID that during the win
ter months, or some of them, the mer-
chants would be in the eastern cities
buying goods, and that it would be the
proper thing for them to take with them
photos, mineral specimens, ETC., to aid
in advertising the city. On motion a
committee, comprising Messrs. Cnowen,
Crutcher, Collect and Jensen, was APP
pointed to attend to this n. after.
A committee on finances, consisting OF
Messrs. Gahagan, Dunn and Jensen, was
appointed, after which the board ad-
iournad. Dr..

Shot His Wife.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 11.--Patrick Regan, a
laborer in the Northern Puciic railroad
shops, shot his wife this afternoon at
about 1:3O at their home on Hatch street,
near Lexington avenue, and then fled
from the house. He walked to St. Paul
and at $50 stepped into Chief Clark's Of
flee and gave himself up to Capt. Cook,
who was then in charge. The couple have
not lived happily together and she has
had him arrested several times for assault
and battery. Yesterday she began divorce
proceedings in the district court on the
ground Of inhuman treatment and this is
supposed to have caused his rash deed.

Indians Reported Starving,

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Capt. A. Conord, in
a report received by Gen. Miles today,
says: Seventeen hundred Indians at
Yankton Sioux agency are receiving
rations enough now for barely two
days out of seven and are starving. The
crops have failed them owing to drought
and though they are willing to work
there is no employment obtainable for
such a number during the winter. On
ration day the poor devils, many of them
old and decrepit, of both sexes, are so
famished they cannot resist eating at
ono practically all that they receive,
notwithstanding another supply of food
is not due for a week. Capt. Conord adds
that it is a standing complaint that these
same Indians have $1,750 owing them for
railroad right of way locked mp in the
United States treasury and that individ
uals among them are still unpaid for
services rendered the government as fa1
back as 1862.

A very characteristic letter of Alexan-
der Dumas was received by the director
of the Cluny museums in which the
former his intention Of pre-
senting to the museum the sword of the
Marquis do Pescaire, which has been left
to him by E. de Beaumont. NJ. Dumas
gives the reason for his liberality as fol-
lows: ~ had engaged to leave the sword
after my death to the Cluny museum,
but I know the collectors, amateurs and
directors of museums. In their fondness
for a rarity they go SO far as to wish for
the death of those to whom it belongs,
especially if they are the heirs. do not
wish to expose your conscience to a pain
full battle, for it would be sure to fight,
perhaps successfully, for the possession
of the weapon. I'll refore offer you at
once the sword Of the vanquisher of Pa
via and the vanquishedo of Ravenna. And
now, dear sir. as you al no longer see
any reason why I should not live a very
long time yet, let me assure you that
while I live l shall always be your de.
voted friend. A. DUMAS"

The house then adjourned.
Quay Want. to xii, tho Force Bill.

S-~S @>sAe So OSN
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Senator Quay
will in q few days propose a substitute to
the force bill now under consideration,
which is intended to supplant and kill
the pending measure.
The substitute has been prepared with
some care by the Pennsylvania boss and
will be presented with quite y long speech
for him. 1t will be much more radical
and proposes to end the domination Of
the white race IN the south completely.
Quay will claim that the present measure
Is lntirely inadequate and that nothing
short Of his substitute will accomplish
the object which is sought.
Quay is not pleased with Harrison's
recommendation that the force bill
should be passed, but he is more dis
gruntled because he has been turned
down In some Pennsylvania appoint
ments, and by proposing his substitute
expects to destroy any legislation of the
kind. It Is possible he may have quite a
following on the republican side in the
effort to sldetrack a measure which many
believe is inexpedient.

CHICAGO, Dec. 0.-Early the feeling
in all speculative markets was favorable
to higher prices and with no serious dis
turbance in financial circles, there was a
marked improvement in everything
toward the close. About the middle of
the cession a crowd appeared to doubt,
after its recent experience, whether the
bull stock market lasting through the
entire session was a possibility, but later
when such a change in recent tactics of
Wall street appeared highly probable,
they concluded it was nc time to stand
short of wheat, corn, oats or provisions
and closing prices of each of these H.
lustrate that conclusion. Wheat closed

Morrill, of Kansas, chairman of the

the commissioner of pensions:
Pension Office, Washington. Dec. II,
1890.-HOn. E. N. Morrill,: / have Just
concluded examining claims recorded to
December 9th under the new act. There
are 171,948 original invalid CLAIMS; SO, 1923
original widow claims and 298, $50 claims
filed by old claimants. This is regarded
as Q remarkably good outcome. This
gives only 227.O00 new claims filed under
the late law. (Signed)
GREEN B. RAuM,
Commissioner.
Morrill, regards this statement as evil
dence that the expenditure for pensions
under the newt act will be much less than
was anticipated. and that there will be a
considerable saving to the government
growing out Of the fact that arrears can
not be collected on applications for pen
slons under the new act.

DAM AND SIN

One of the men employed on work con-
nected with the construction of the dam,
was arrested for assault and battery Mon
day. This is the man who felled q COM
rade with a shovel in an alteration a few
Gays since, mention of which was made in
the TRIBUNE,
Wages for unskllled labor on the KIRK
endall contract were reduced from 1925
to $2.OO on Monday. The new order does
not effect teamsters, who still receive 1856
and board. This cannot be considered as
a cut In wages as the hours of labor we're
shortened so that nine hours is now in
vogue instead of ten. As might be
expected, there was considerable kicking
ION the quiet,) but the terms were ac-
cepted as a matter of necessity to some
and philisophically by others.
Sunday night some of the boys en-
ployed in this nelghb9shood went to
town and "bowled up" pretty freely, re-
turning home at a late hour. After
reaching camp and finding their supply
of !: ghtning exhausted, they determined
the supply. As good as their intentions
they did 60 to the "Hill," but not without
incident. From report received We learn
they were we'll laden with wet goods and
a desire to have somebody tread on their
coat tails when they returned, which was
declined with thanks. Monday mosning
brought head ache, hard work and the
constable of North Great Falls. As the
story goes there was a lantern and some
whisky to be accounted for that had dis
appeared but had not been paid for. The
constable selected one man at a rough
guess and took him to the "H,ll" after
considerable parlying and a feint to draw
his gun, which caused the prisoner to
come TO time with alacrity. After being
absent from his work two or three hours
the man accused returned to work, hav.
ing been taxed eleven big silver dollars
for his amusement. The parties who
visited the town state that the liquor was
paid for and the lantern loanedl them to
light them to camp. The lantern does
not seem to throw any light on the sub
ject SO we must accept the theory that
they appropriated the whisky to fill the
lamp, mistaking it for oil and upon dis
covering the error drank it to keep it
from freezing. ***
