NO SCAR OVER HIS HEART.


But Grant Was the Man the Sheriff
g"lH Wanted.
On the oast-hound Northern Pacific train
yesterday us it rolled into the Helena yards
was Sheriff Dodley Halford, of Jefferson
county, with a prisoner named Grant who
escaped from the Jail at Boulder last April.
Grant was convicted OF shooting n tramp
twice in tho hoad in a row at Wickes. He
was sentenced to Deer Lodge for five years.
The tramp recovered. While waiting to be
taken to Deer Lodge Grant escaped from
the Boulder Jail taking with him two blank
cts in which he slept for nearly two months
in the mountains north OF klmlnl.
Grants capture at Demarsville in the
Flathead country last Saturday WAS brought
about by u Il light at that place between himself
and u man who knew him whom no was in Jail
at Boulder. After the fight this man Went
to Deputy Sheriff Mccarthy at Demersville
and told him who Grant was. The latter
said there was a mistake and threatened to
get even for the arrest. MCCARTHY tele-
graphed to the Jefferson county sheriff who
wired in reply: IF he has n scar about
an inch long over tho heart he is
the man." On receipt Of this Grants
breast was barred but there was
not a trace of a scar. Grant grew more in
dignant than before and threatened to
warm up'' the authorities. MCCARTHY was
about to let him 60 but on second thought
he decided to hold his man until the arrival
of Halford from Boulder. Before Halford
was taken into Grants presence he said he
would be able to recognize him no matter
how changed he was: As the cell door
opened Halford said ''Hsllo. Grant," Grant
replied "Hello. I'm the unluckiest man
born" The sheriff was mistaken about the
scar.

The Telluride quartz district lies fifty

manned unknown until the past season. In
Che fall Of 80, Horn Miller, altar an alb
sancc Of thirteen years, accompanied by
+. a. Pratt. Jack Baronnett and Jake Malin
returned to tho unforgotten district and
made six locations. The past season a great
many more locations have been made,
nearly all Of which are very rich and ex-
tensive. h
The main lead Of the camp is eighty feet
across, and 5000 linear feet arslocated upon
I'LL. Ore taken from the extreme locations
are similar in every respect. Twenty-seven
assays from along the the lead averaged
S111 per ton. The largest vein of galena
vet exposed is twenty-seven inches across
and the entire eighty feet is cut by veins OF
quartz. copper pyrites, Ralena and ash.
The Dyke group comprises five locations.
The ore assays 20 per cent. lead n SIG in

The Fourth of July group comprise four
locations on a twelve-fcot lead, which 10

The Refinery at Park City.

The Park Record (Utah) says: The ex-
p~eriencs of refining the sulphides produced
by the Marsac teaching plant by Stede-
feldt's process is beginning to be a reality,
and may even now DO considered a COM
plets success, az the remaining processes
the matte has to 60 through are compara-
lively simple. Tn plant has been thor
Oughly tested dow or up to the point
whore the copper is dissolved from the sill
yer II gold by means of a sulphuric acid
bath, and works TO the entire satisfaction
OF Mr.. Stedefeidt. 1t was calculated to
manufacture a solution of ~sulphurio acid
81 ong enough to dissolve the copper from
the sulphur fumes arising from the mating
furnace. but it proved to be too weak, and
hence the acid will have to be purchased.
Mr.. stedefeldt is satisfied with develop
ments SO far, and left for the west yesterday
morning to mako arrangements for acids
and several other minor matters. He will
stop at Butte a few days to look after a
teaching plant hat is about ready to start
up at that point, and then 60 TO the coast,
returning to the Park in about two weeks.
A test OF the product at its present most
advanced stage showed an assay of 997 fine
III silver and one of gold, which is nearly
the pure stuff and indicates that when the
process il complete and the bullion run into
bars, 1T Will be absolutely pure. The plant,
1t is understood. will be under the supervi-
sion OF w. ID. Bond during Mr.. Stedefeldt's
absence.

The Alton

The joint committee of the trunk line
and central traffic associations has, accord
ing to private advices from New York, re-
ferred the matter of the Alton boycott to a
committee of general passenger agents.
This commission was instructed to mako a
full report of the present status of the boy
colt and the commission question and rec
ommend action. Meantime the western
roads have lost no time in adopting the
pace set by the Burlington. The majority
Of them have notified western ticket agents
that they will resume the payment of COM
missions in what has been known as the
forbidden territory. 1t is not the intention
of any of these roads. however, to pay such
vouchers for ticket sales that were made
longer ago thar Dec. l. The Alton officials
seem rather displeased than otherwise at
the prospect of the boycott being lifted. It
has been a great advertisement for their
road and they have 80 arranged their busi-
ness that it runs smoothly in spite of the
hostility of connecting lines, and without
any apparent reduction of revenues. OF
all the roads east and west of Chicago there
is probably none as Indifferent as the Alton
as to what disposition shall be made of the
boycott.

Passenger Rates.

At the meeting of the Western Passenger
association in Chicago the other day i'm
portant action was taken in regard to the
authority to make lower rates on special
occasions. The old rule required that no
reduced rates should be made for parties of
less than 100, and that from 100 to 500 one
and one-third fares for the round trip might
be granted: for over 500 a rate, of one fare
was allowable. This rule has now been
suspended 'tempol orily." which means that
as long as the Alton continues to make
rates, as in the case of the Masonic gather
ing at Kansas City, the other lines may
agree together to put in rates of one fare
for the round trip. Another matter came
before the meeting, which will be Of inter
est to a good many people contemplating
attending the Missouri River Improvement
convention, to be held at Kansas City on
the 18th inst. Applications were made some
time ego for authority to make a rate of
one fare for the round trip for a distance of
$50 miles from Kansas City and on and one
third fares on the certificate plan for greater
distances. This application was denied,
but was resubmitted at the last meeting,
and there is a fair prospect of its being
granted.

To Tap the Okanogan.

G. 9. Smith, of Washington. has this to
say about the line of the Great Northern
extension in his section: "The surveyors
have located two lines from the neighbour
hood of Davenport to Columbia, but would
not be surprised to see them adopt the old
survey of the Seattle. Lake Shore & East
era. This line will let them in and out OF
the Grand coulee at less than two per cent
grade. The surveyors nave not been over
this line at all, which is not surprising,
since they know all about it anyhow. The
line was originally located by Major Rogers
for the Manitoba, and Jim Hills men are
in possession of all of Major Rogers maps,
charts, etc.
"The main line will certainly 90 up the
Wenatchee and through Stevens pass, :"
said Captain Smith. "They awe also sur
yeysd a line TO the Okanogan mines. This
leaves the main line at the mouth of the
Wenatchee, following up the Columbia to
the mouth of the Okanogan, thence up the
Oknnogau. The object is no doubt to pass
on through the ,Okanogan mining districts
and on to the lakes. with the ultimate in
tention of joining the Canadian Pacific"

A Practical Electric Locomotive.

On Saturday last there was a very sue
cessful test Of an electrical locomotive on
the Providence and Worcester roud. The
locomotive was equipped with a motor Of
the "G' type. The total weight of the To-
connective is $1,000 pounds, and it is rated AZ
elghty-horse power; the driving wheels arc
%forty-two inches in diameter. This engine
in the test hauled eight cars. weighing in
aggregate 1853 tons, up a three per cent.
grade with apparent ease. The engine was
designed, built and tested under the super
vision of j. 3. Fiske. The Reconsideration
company is Interested in the invention.
the utilization of electricity on RAILWAYS, in
moving freight trains, has been the desire
of economists and the aim of electrical ex-
perts. and this test is looked upon az being
quite a step in that direhtion.
