A. w. Chellis, Superintendent OF
Richardson's box factory at Truckee,
Cal, has invented a machine which
indicates correctly the locality OF
gold or silver mines and buried
treasure. The Republican, which
seems to have faith in the machine,
says of it:
at is an oval or egg-shaped ball
about the size of a pullet's egg. Ii
is hollow, and is filled with chemi-
Gals whose nature and combinations
is a secret. When allowed to swing
by a silken cord, it indicates by its
movements where the money or
hidden ore is located. In the pres
enoe Of witnesses Mr.. Chellis has
tested his invention both with coin,
gold and silver ore. In room or
hall any person can secret sum or
different sums of money, and Mr..
Chillis by means of the ball can
find each sum secreted, the larger
quantities being the first to attract
the ball. 1t works equally well
with gold and silver ore. 1t will
correctly locate a mine at a distane,
Of half mile 1t will work equally
well through air, water, earth OF
rock. Mr.. Chellis has been super.
intendent of Richardson Bros. Box
Factory for two years, but now
thinks he has invented something
which will pay better than his po-
sition as superintendent. There are
large sums Of money buried in vari-

member of the family is Mcdonald D.
Shoemaker, whose income is $40, 600 a
year. He is about 40 years of age. Until
very recently 1t had been understood that
Mcdonald was to wed a daughter of one Of
the wealthiest men Of Wilkesbarre. Sud.
denly the young man. changed his mind
and declared that he would marry a poor
girl, IL who could assist him in
case OF adversely. His parents were
very indignant when they learned
Of McDonald's Intentions, and even
went 80 far as to petition
the court to inquire into the young mans
sanity. He was determined, however, and
one day last week he took q train for
Elmira, in company with Annie Lawrence;
a young woman who Lad been formerly
employed as a housekeeper. At Elmira
they were married. On Saturday Shoe
maker returned with his bride to Wilkes
barre, intending to install his wife in his
mothers house. His uncle, John Har-
rover, was in waiting, and as soon as the
bridal couple put in an appearance, Har-
rover threw their baggage into the street,
and when Shoemaker attempted to enter
the house his uncle knocked him down,
blackened his eyes and knocked him into
the gutter. Shoemaker has since had his
uncle arrested. There is great excitement
over the matter in aristocratic circles.

Death of the Groat Chief CrowfoOt.

Crowfoot the great chief of the Black
feet, died on the 2Gth of Inflammation Of the
lungs, after a few days illness. In his
will he named Three Bulls as his sue
cessor. C~rowfoot, OF Sapomaxiho, was
one of the leading characters in the Can
adian Northwest. The history of this
region for the past huff century has been
Largely determined by him. His in
huence over the Indians was supreme.
He was the closest embodiment pos
sible of the mythical noble red
man. Dauntless in battle, imbued with
all the instincts of the Indian, he at the
same time possessed many traits of char
acter which commanded the admiration of
all whom he was brought in contact. In
early pioneer days he was the arbitrator
between the Indian and the white man.
His diplomacy extracted the Canadian
Pacific Railroad company from a serious
difficulty with the Blackfeet. He was
ever the friend of the missionary. His re-
fusal to join the rebels in the last north
west rebellion prevented what would 9TH
erwise have been a long and bloody con-
Dict.

Afraid Of tie CheYenue4.

Troops A and B, uoder command of
Capt. Wells, have arrived at Oelrichs from
Fort Meade, and gone into camp, having
been sent there for the purpose of inter-
cepting the Pine Ridge Cheyenne Indians
who, it is claimed, are becoming uneasy
and threaten to leave the reserva-
ton without leave and strike out for
Montana on a visit to the nortern Chey-
ennes. 1t is the intention of the govern
ment to prevent this, and with such an idea
in view troops are being sent to different
points around and adjacent to the reser-
vation. Settlers have no fears of any hos
tile demonstration on the part Of the ma.
TONS wards, and look upon the presence
of troops here with not a little merriment.
1t is quite likely the soldiers will remain
during Nav and June.

MEASURE.

South Dakota's Finances viii BE in Good
= Shape Should the Bill Become a Law.
The bill introduced in the United States
senate by Senator Moody, respecting the
payment to states of 5 per cent. of all
moneys received from the sale Of public
lands, is creating much interest in South
Dakota. By the provisions of the bill
an immense sum of money will 20
into the state treasury. The,
figures at the United States
land Office for the Huron district show that
nearly 1856, 600 will go into the state treas
ury from lands sold in the Huron district
alone. If the other land Offices in the
state, viz: Aberdeen, Deadwood, Water
town, Yankton, Mitchell, etc., give figures
approximating those for the Huron dis
trict. the total amount of money that will
come into the state treasury by the provis-
ions OF Senator Moody's bill will not be
far from 81, 1000, 900. Should the bill be-
come a law South Dakota's finances will
no longer be crippled, and to Senator
Moody too much credit cannot be given
for his efforts in behalf of this measure.

LABOR,
Many Complaints of the Lax Enforcement
of the Immigration I.axsA-L

Many Complaints of he Lax Endorsement
of h Immigration Laws.
Word has been received that Secretary
Window, if not exactly Alarmed, is GER
tainly agitated over Tho importation Of
contract labor immigrants. There is
scarcely a labor organization in the country
which has rot complained that the aim.n-
istration is altogether too loose in the
methods by which tn, Importation of for
eign contract labor has been controlled at
New York city. In the complaints which
the secretary has received there is
nothing particular said of the board
of state immigration, neither IRE
there any comments rejecting on Collector
Erhart or Colonel Weber, the present boss
of the business. The complaints are based
chiefly on tie statement that there are not
enough representatives of the federal ad-
ministration to prevent the influx of con-
tract laborers. Thus it comes about that
there ls q desk full of complaints from
plasterers, stonemasons, musicians, and,
in fact, all the principal labor unions in the
country, that shiploads of foreign COMPETE
tors are turned loose upon the country
every month. These labor unions have
made it a question of politics with the ad-
ministration They protest that there
must be enough men appointed to protect
their interests, or they will make it warm
for tie administration. Secretary VIM
dom has issued orders that the utmost
vigilance must be exercised in scanning
the cargoes of steerage passen-
gers who arrive at the port of New York
every day in the week. From this source
the federal official who does NIT attend to
this matter strictly will have a hot time
with the secretary. Mr.. Wihdom himself
is expected almost any day to give his
personal supervision to carrying out these
instructions. From all that can be
learned President Herrison is alarmed at
the free importation of contract labor.
