The Copper Belle.

The shaft on the above property is now
down It's feet. and the work is being prose-
cuted with vigor. Remarkably rich ore was
encountered in the shaft few days ago,
but its extent is as yet unknown. Assays
from this ore gave returns of 5 per cent
copper, 81 per cent lead, Sl76 in gold and
III ounces in silver to the ton. The Belle
is very promising property, and shows up
we'll with depth. When the necessary dead
work required in sinking. running levels
and cross-cuts has been done, this mine
will doubtless be one of the best ore pro-
ducers in the state.

The White Hall District.

An old discovery on the top of the mount
ain just west of Whitehall about six miles
was taken up about II. This was aban-
doned long since, and lately Mr.. Headley
made another discovery, an extension like,
further down the hill. Some fine speci-
mems of quartz have been taken from this,
ranging as high as $40 to the ton. Mr.
Meader, of Butte. has now bonded thii
lead for $4,000, paying 5000 down and
5000 more in six months.-Boulder Senti-

The electric street railway on account Of
the great current it carrys, is the cause Ct
many accidents. 1t is especially dangerous
for line repairers. Should a telegraph or
telephone wire drop upon the trolly wire of
an electric road the man who would
touch it would be severely shocked
if not killed; and these wires cannot be
insulated because the trolly has to roll on
| them to receive the electricity.
Mr.. King. OF the Thompson Huston COM
pany, had a close call Wednesday and feels
fortunate that he escaped with his life.
While examining motor on one of the
electric cars for the purpose of repairing
something connected with it. the trolly
was careless!y left connected with the wire.
He caught hold of one of the rails while
having hold of a wire in the motor and in
stantly received severe shock. He gave a
scream of terror and the timely act Of un-
hooking the trolly, alone saved his life. He
was carried in the car and taken to his
home, where he was confined a couple of

A Big Gold Nugget.

The largest nugget of gold found in this
section of Montana for some time was taken
from the placer diggings of Currie 4 Cum
bingham, in Sicily gulch yesterday. 1t is
nearly half as large as mans hand, and is
worth about $50. It is,a pure, solid lump
of the precious metal, in shape just as ma
tured formed it, and as a specimen of virgin
above its worth in coin. A $50 nugget was
taken from the same claim last season.
Sicily gulch is situated about twelve miles
west of Helena. The nugget can be seen
at Con Kelly's.

raising himself on uptoeS and embracing the
big cable above, the reporter mounted it
much rs a small boy would mount a horse
and with as much chance Of getting on its
back as the boy would have OF getting on the
back Of horse. But the cable was mounted
successfully, and the greatest danger was
passed.
The reporter then noticed for the first time
that he was above the fog and as absolutely
alone as he could be anywhere in the uni
verse. The bridge tower rearing up out of
the mist below, the four big cables hanging
down and disappearing in the fog and the
cold, black darkness of the clear atmosphere
above were all there were TO behold save one
bright light on the flag pole on top of hotel
on the Brooklyn heights.
The light was above the fog also. and il
shone brightly and cheerfullv. Not a soInd
could be heard, although vain attempts were
made TO catch the echoof a Steamboat whistle
or the rumble of a passing bridge train. The
air was quiet. and there was nothing TO make
the slightest effect on the drum of the ear

latter was awarded the decision ON techni-

THE SANDWICH ISLANDS

Kansas City Journal.
The real purpose, it Is said, OF
King Kalakaus's visit TO this
country 10 the sale Of the Sandwich
Islands to the United States. We
hope Il 10 true, and that the execu.
tive department and congress will
be prompt In making the purchase.
There have always been people
who think . republic cannot hold
colonial or distant possessions. In
other words, that everything under
the flag should be represented In
congress. We departed from that
tradition In the acquisition Of
Alaska, and the recent decision of
the supreme court In the mutiuy
and murder cases on q gusno island
has settled the legal question 90 to
our authority over any locallty-no
matter what Its status may be-so
that the fisg IL present and domi-
nant.
Il may not be regarded ss . sound
reason that because other govern
ments have colonies we should also,
but there IL Q fact underlying Il all
that the advance Of civilization 10
largely and mostly the mission Of
commerce. Our form Of acquisition
has been by purchase with the con-
sent Of the people interested-and
always according self-government
to the inhabitants. IL the people Of
the Sandwich Islands, lying at the
gateway Of our Western empire, are
DESTROYS Of abandoning their insti-
tutIons coming down from . savage
condition, and assuming . place
among republics, - Q dependency Of
Of the United States, Il ought TO be
our duty TO meet the advance with
alacrity and cordially.
There are vast resources In the
fertile soil yet undeveloped which,
under the freedom Of the flag, would
ct once spring into life and develop
ment, while 70 would very largely
make us our own sugar producers.
Then, again, II we do not meet this
some less fastidIous Euro
pean country will take the offer and
cur trade be once more confined
We have allowed Europe 10 draw
about ne Q Gordon Of colonies, from
round 10 Cuba, that have
done more TO cripple our resources
than can be estimated. II the Sand
wIch Islands alp away from us the
chain will be conpiets and We will
have to run the gauntlet In all cirec-
Iions 10 gee to the high seas. We
ought to have bad Cuba, San De-
mipgo and the Sandwich Islands
