A Lady Lion Tam er.

Col. Boone. who is now in this country
exhibiting his horde Of performing lions,
which are performed free and unmuzzled
in q circus ring is accompanied by a female
lion trainer-a 'lion queen" as the show
bills style her. Her name is Millie Carlotts.
She is not over ~ years
old, and is said to be as brave as she Is
beautiful. She enters the Enclosure accom-
panied by her noble patrol dog "Saxon,"
and to see her in the arena surrounded by
half a dozen thousan pound, lordly lions,
directing their movements with as little ap-
parent concern as if they were a
lot of harmless cats, makes the spectator
shudder for m instant. Col. Boone is au-
thority for the statement, that women are
better adapted for performing with wild
beasts han men. Be this as it may, We
will not controvert the remark made
by a lady, who. upon hearing this statement
Of Col. Boone's suggested that this Was a
fact and that only a woman was capable Of
s%ubjugatinG the most intractsble of all ami
mals-man.
Carlotta drives the lions harnesaed to
chariots, feeds them from her hand, makes
them posture, dance, leap, play sea-saw,
ride bicycles and many equally astonishing
acts. This is one of the famous features
OF the famous Forepaugh show. which is to
exhibit here on Thursday. Aug. q.

In the Castle District.

Within the last few days the ore body in
the Waterloo mine, situated in Smiths camp
has greatly increased in width, says the
Tribune Ever since the management of
this company began the working of this
property with it's new whim, it has con
Stantly improved. The incline shaft has
now attained n depth of about $50 feet.
Within the last few days the ore body has
increased about four and a half feet in
width. 1t is chiefly carbonates. Recent
ASSAYS made on this ore run very high.
Some have Welded 125 ounces in silver and
81 per cent. in lead.
Last week in the Iron Crown mining loca-
ton, in the -Four Mile district, a great dis
covery was made. A short time ago Messrs.
Savage and Nye purchase the property. On
it a shaft was sunk only about four feet.
In sinking, ore was discovered only in
punches in the ledge matter. A few
DAYS ago these gentlemen began
developing. Only a couple OF shots were
all that were required to disclose a large
body of mineral. At this writing the whole
bottom of the shaft is in a body of high
grade galena streaked with carbonates.
Judge Simonsen will resume work at
once on the Caledonia and Golden Eagle,
situated in Smiths camp. The former
seventy feet deep. The vein is a contact
ono situated between lime and porphyry.
Thu ledge matter is composed of red oxide
of iron with punches of ore scattered
through it. The latter claim is develored
by a perpendicular shaft 1O4 feet deep. This
property is situated on q well defined CON
tact vein lying between similar wallis like
that in which the lead of the Caledonia is
found. From this shaft several drifts are
run. 1t is the intention of the owners of
these two properties to continue the work
ing OF them until pay mineral is reached.

Strike in the Germania,

They struck 1t in the Germania, says the
Inter Mountain. just before the moor hour
yesterday, in a crosscut forty feet from the
300 foot level the last blast uncovered the
ledge. The extent of the strike is not known
yet, az the hanging wall has not been
reached. Three feet of the vein is exposed,
however, and the ore is as rich as that taken
from near the surface. About fifty pounds
of the new strike were taken to the surface
that will assay $50 ounces to the ton. A
shipment of tfty-ei ght tons of ore was sent
to the Parrot smelter yesterday. The gen.
eral run Of this ore is high. Mr.. Freuden-
stein said to-day that the lowest grade ore
shipped thisy year went ffty-nine ounces in
silver and $14 in gold to the ton. This
strike is at 4 depth of about $40, feet from
the surface, following the dip of the vein,
but in the shaft it is down BOZ feet. The
ore is being taken mostly from the $50 foot
level and upwards and Mr.. F~reudenstein
says there are enough slopes to keep a force
OF the present SIZE busy for three years
without doing another tap eff dead work.
1t is estimated that about $4,000 has been
expended in opening up the Germania and
%equipping it.

CAMPAIGN OF U

xAtion for the Campaign.


xAtion for the Cam
New York, July l.-Senator Brice, chair
man of the national democratic committee,
has written a letter of warning and advice
to his fellow members of the national COM
mittee. The letter embodies advice in re-
gard to the association of democratic clubs
and the necessity of the national committee
cooperating with them. The senator be-
gins with the statement that n presidential
contest i'd near at hand; that tho republi-
cans are preparing for 1t and that demo-
Gratis cannot be too circumsr cot or toe
swift in arranging to meet them. The
plan OF campaign Of the republicans, he
says. ia a colossal system of clubs, to be
maintained and supported by unlimited
means drawn from the pockets of bene-
fciaries of the monopoly policy. This sys
tenn. he urges, can only be met by an
equally extensive system Of voluntary demo-
cratic clubs, that is, associations of peo-
pie in their several neighborhoods
for the defense of their rights and interests
against those banded to assail them.
MIR. Brice thinks the approaching strug-
gle will be one mainly between clubs, and
1t is greatly to be desired that a uniform
and perfected system of democratic soci-
cites, thoroughly organized and in intimate
association with each other. shall DO eatab-
lished before the beginning of next year.
He says he examined the plan of organlza-
ton, now in process of successful accom-
plishment. of the National Association of
Democratic Clubs. and he feels it the duty
of every member of the national executive
committee to give club association his most
hearty support, and he urges each membe
of the national committee to cooperate
with the association to the fullest extent.

mittee Of the clubs is absolutely necessary

not to be a burden to any one committee.
Mr.. Brice concludes his letter as follows;

This now requires urgent atten-
ton in your state. I would. therefore, ask
you to confer with the chairman of your

power to facilitate the organization in other
ways that you may think best"

How q Helena House Got Into Trouble

How q Helena House Got Into Trouble
With a Big Eastern Concern.
There are a great many funny things
happening in the business world, which
outsiders seldom hear about. One of these
developed yesterday. VIM. Weinstein d
Co., the Main street merchants, have for
some time been the sole agents in Helena
for q brand of cigars known as the Speckled
Dainties. The firm has been pushing them,
and as a result has built up a large trade in
them, which extends all over the state.
They must have come into competition
because yesterday they received two COM
municatlons from the manufacturers, kro-
tin, Feiss d Co., of Cincinnati, under date
of June u. The first is as follows:
"Wm. Weinstein & Co., Gents.-We take
pleasure in acknowledging the receipt of
your favor of June 90, covering draft of
S1,44S.17 for invoices Feb. 8, March IA and
20. April 4, Is, II, 20, "A and June 8, less dis
count, which we place to your credit with
thanks"
Enclosed in the same envelope was the
following:
WIN. Weinstein & Co., Gents-We are
informed by some of our customers in your
territory that you are cutting prices on the
different brands of cigars you are handling
from Us. This is especially the case with
the Speckled Dainties, and which we are
told you are selling with a very small or
hardly any advance whatever. This cigar
has been put on the market by us to be
sold to the retail trade Mt a certain price.
In selling the goods as you have been doing
SO far, will result in a great loss of trade to
us, and we therefore have to notify YOU that
in case you should persist in selling this
brand below tho price given, we shall be
forced for our own protection to withdraw
them from you. We hope that you will not
force us to take this step.

A Five-Dollar Rate Between st. Louis and
ChicarO Asked For.

A Five-Dollar Rate Between St. Louis and
Chicago Asked For.
A curious condition of affairs has arisen
in connection with rates from st. Louis to
Chicago. 1t will be remembered that the
Alton a short time ego applied to Chair
man Finley for a S. rate on the ground
that the s~calpers in st. Louis had practi-
cally control of the market. The Jackson
vile Southeastern opposed the authorize
ton of the rate ut that time and the chair
man refused the Atoms application. Now
the Jacksonville Southeastern ia itself clam
oring for the rate and is urging the Santa
Fe road to join it in making it. The Santa
Fe is acting very oonservatlvely about list
ening to the appeal, but it may become too
urgent for it to withstand. If the Jackson
vile Southeastern really wants the rate the
Alton will tn ow no obstacle in the way of
its getting it. On the contrary. it will
join with it in its efforts to have the rate
put into effect.

triot, have offered the owners of the Black
Warrior 10000 for their prospect, which
was refused. Tn Black Warrior is located
