She Will Get a Third of the Estate and the
Baby the Balance.
New YORK. Sept. 15.-No further particu-
lars were received today concerning the
death of Robert Ray Hamilton. His father,
General Schuyler Hamilton, is prostrated.
He has received no advices other than the
published reports. The body will probably
be brought east. The death of Robert Ray
Hamilton terminates his suit AGAINST
Evangeline Steele, alias Eva Mann, for the
annulment of their marriage. His attorney
said the litigation is ended unless the father
or the brother takes hold OF the matter, in
wise Mrs. Hamilton, who is now in the New
Jersey state prison, would receive one third
ef the estate and baby Beatrice the remain
der. General Hamilton had nothing to say
about the litigation.

terrible railroad accident late last night,
which resulted in the instant death of En-

Fireman Fitzpatrick. The Montana Union

the summit of the mountain on the north

though the grade is very heavy all
the way up the mountain and the
curves very abrupt, no serious accident has
occurred until last night. The train was
composed of switch engine and three cars

Halter discovered that his air brakes were
not working and called for brakes, but too
late. In moment the train
was beyond control and flying
down the hill at a frightful
rate of speed. When the Moulton switch
was reached the engine left the track and

struck by cyclone and perfect avalanche

From out of all that wreck of engine

When the engine left the track the coupling
broke and the cars kept to the rails until
they ran into the debris of the smokestack.
Here the body of Foreman Fitzpatrick was
found wedged in SO tightly that hydraulic

YESTERDAY IN CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The senate to-day
passed number Of bridge bills. Bills on
the calendar was then taken up and several
passed, among them the senate bill to
amend the act of June 19, 1873, to create
the office of auditor of railroad accounts.
The conference report ON the railroad land
forfeiture bill was then taken up, and San
ders finished his argument. After remarks
by Plumb and Morgan, it was agreed that a
vote be taken tomorrow afternoon.
In the house Mckinley reported back the
tariff bill with the senate amendments, with
recommendation that the amendments be
non-concurred in. Referred to committee
of the whole. Mckinley then offered a
resolution from the committee on rules for
the immediate consideration Of the tariff
bill in the house, and after two hours gem
eral debate it shall be in order to
non-concur in the senate amend
ments in gross and agree to conn
mittee of conference asked for BY
the senate and the house shall without fur
thor delay OF other motion proceed to vote
on said motion. The previous question on
the resolution was ordered; yeas, 116; nays,
seventy -one. Blount Of Georgia, protested
against this resolution, contending that it
was parody on Geliberation. Mcmillan,
of Tennessee, also opposed the resolution,
and criticised the COMMITTEES on rules for
reporting it. A majority in the caucus de-
termined not only that the minority should
be throttled, but that the Plumed knight
should be throttled. The resolution was
adopted; yeas, ia; nays, seventy-two.
McRae, of Arkansas, opposed the bill,
both in the original form and AS amended
on the general ground that it Disseminated
against the farming industry. Payson, of
Illinois, thought that in various respects
the bill, as it PASSED the senate, was pref
erable to the measure as it passed
the house. He spoke in favor Of
the senate amendment placing bind
ing twine on the free list.
He believed in republican principles, but
did not believe in the hasty theory of pro-
lection, which put upon the dutiable list an
article of raw material, the manufacture of
which was in the hands of combination
which could be indicted under the act
passed by the present congress-. Vaux, of
Pennsylvania, wished to say to the farmer
and laborar that this tariff bill was cheat.
The majority believed in every trust save
one, the trust in righteous and Just God.
The senate amendments were non-con-
Cured in.

Col. Sanders concluded his speech to-day
on the forfeiture bill, devoting his remarks
chiefly to the mineral lands. He said the
trouble had always been in deciding what
decided that mineral lands were those
which were similar in character to
those where mines we're found.
Commissioner Sparks. had decided that
mineral lands were those which contained
placer or quartz in quantities which it
would pay to work. The people of Mon
tana preferred to have the Teller instead of
the Sparks idea. He severely criticised the
Cleveland administration, so far as its
special agents were concerned, and the gen
eral conduct regarding the lands. settlers
and miners in the west. Mining did not
pay on the whole, and the miners had a
hard life. He said that the right of the
Northern Pacific company would not at
tach to any mining land, and the proper
administration of the granting act would
save the mineral lands to the people.

NEW YORK, August 10.-The following
reports have been received from the leading
mining centers of tho West:
DENvER-A big strike has just been
made in the shaft of the Pulitzer mine, near
Idaho Springs. in Clear Creek county. In
March last work was commenced on the
property owing to the vein filling bearing
such strong resemblance to that of the
Larmartine, neighbor, which, in 12 months
last year. produced over $1,000,00O. The
shaft of the Pulitzer, at depth OF 100
feet, struck a vein of ore that will
run high in both gold and silver.
The mine is owned by Denver syndicate.
An account of big gold find at Atlantic
City, Wyo., near Lander, was published in
these columns several weeks ago. A man
was sent to investigate the property by Sen
ator Tabor, and returned with his report on
Monday. He says that the mine is more
than reported. There is a vein lying close
to the surface that carries the same class of
mineral that was first discovered, and
samples of which assay 100000 to the ton.
The, ore will not run less than 81 800 per
ton. The mineral is similar to that which
caused Ine OdlllOrnld eAclIemenL.
Lieutenant Colonel S. SNYDER has Just
returned from Oklahoma City, and in an in
terview he touched upon the presence of
gold in the Indian Territory south of Okla
homa, and related an incident which cor
roborates reports recently printed in The
DISPATCH.
Perhaps you have heard of Hale and
Norcross," said Colonel Snyder. "These
men discovered rich mine in Nevada, and
sold out several years ago for several hun
dred thousand dollars. One day last winter
a stranger, who had every appearance of a
prospector, came to me at Oklahoma City
and introduced himself as Hale He
said he had lost his fortune and for some
time had been prospecting in the Cheyenne
country of the Indian Territory north of the
Red river. He had suffered many hard
ships and narrowly escaped with his life
from the Cheyennes, who guard their coun-
try most carefully against intruders. 1 can
not vouch for the truthfulness of the mans
story, but he told me story of adventure
and of gold mines which are so rich that
the greatest strikes ever made in the Rocky
Mountains are mere bagatelles compared
with the golden treasures guarded by the
Cheyennes."
The district in which the gold is said to
be found is in the southwestern part of the |
Indian Territory, about 200 miles from |
Oklahoma.

slightly on the increase in the Montour
field. The Fort Pitt Gas Company are
building No. rig on the Thompson farm,
and Hughey Miller has timber on the

other wells are holding up well. The indi-
cations are that the field will have good
staying qualities.

for light producer. As this well is located
one and half miles east from Whitesell

TUCsoN-The unusually heavy rains this
week pleased the miners as well as the stock
raiser. The streams will all be we'll filled
and the miner will have plenty of water
until the winter sets in. The canals are all
full.
The Duquesne Mill and Mining Com
pany, ten miles from Harshaw, are prepar-
ing to work their property on an extensive
scale. Among other mines that are being
worked with good results are the mine
of Charles Marsden, the Blue Nose, by
james Hale, and the Golden Gate, by
Goode & Co.
These mines are all frst-class properties
and give every indication of enriching their
owners. Mr.. Hathaway asserts that every
mine In that vicinity pays well, and some
of them are exceptionally rich, among the
latter being the ledge of Elsen & Carroll,
which yield silver ore to the value of 1000
ounces per ton. This remarkable property
is well developed. 1t is no fictitious
bonanza, liable to peter out at the next
stroke CT the pick, but it is a we'll defined
mine that will yield rich returns for long
time to come.
