The Bntte Mining Company Claims
q Large Portion of Hutge CITY.

WASHINGTON, July IAN impor-
tant decision was rendered by the In
terror Department upon the appeal Of
the proprietors of the Pacific Slope
Lode claim from the decision Of the
General Land Office, holding for
cancellation so much of their mineral
entry as conflicts with the patented
townsite of Butte, Helena Land Dis
trict, Montana.
1t appears that after entry had been
completed the local land officers re-
examined the case, and found that the
Pacific Slope Lode claim was worked
and held pior to the entry, and that il
was more valuable for mineral than
for townsite purposes, and prior TO
the occupation thereof for residence or
business purposes under the townsite
act.
The Secretary OF the Interior de-
cides that as the existence Of the Pa
ciic Slope Lode claim was known
when the townsite entry was made
and patent issued the Interior Depart
ment will refer the Ease to the At
torney General in order to have q
suit instituted in the proper court TO
have declared vacant so much OF the
patent Of the townsite of Butte as in
cludes the Pacific Slope Lode claim,
and the mineral entry will be sus-
pended pending further proceedings.

Is Egyptian Corn PoisOsousr

No little excitement has been
created in. the vicinity of Red Bluff.
CAL. during the past few days, grow
ing out of the poisoning OF a large num-
Der OF cows which had been feeding
upon growing Egyptian corn. A Mr..
Wilton first lost 30 COWS, who died al
most Immediately after eating the corn
in the field. At first it was thought
poison had been m~aliciously or other
wise scattered upon the corn, but a
day or two afterward Under Sheriff
Fish OF Red Bluff lost two cows in the
same manner several miles from the
locality of the first case; and now
comes a Kansas man who says that
Egyptian corn will kill cattle very
suddenly if eaten at certain stages Of
its maturing growth. The ase is an
interesting one and should be carefully
inquired into.

The Tom Cornell and Other Groups
In the Base BeIs.

Late arrivals from Hamilton in
form us that interest continues to in.
crease in several OF the lead mines in
White Pine District, and several min
ing experts from San Francisco have
lately been there examining the prop
critics.
The most important Of these-as
they are the most developed-is the
Cornell group on the eastern slope Of
White Pine Mountain, owned by Tom
Cornell, n OF the old standbys Of the
district. Our informant says that the
week before last seven miners took
out owe 800 sacks of ore, running over
200 pounds to the sack, which carries
65 per cent and about $25 in silver.
The net profit on this ore after mining,
shipping and reduction charges are
paid, is about $50. The lead in the
ore pays all expenses and leaves a
profit OF s. per ton on the lead alone TO
the owner. Mr.. Cornell has, we learn,
had several good offers for the prop
erty, one being for 100000. This
would have been accepted, but the
purchaser wanted time on half the
money. Mr.. Cornell thinks there is
ore enough in sight to warrant the
price offered and he wants it in cash
down. Besides what is in sight, the
possibilities are certainly very great.
It's a poor mans mine, and il Tom
doesn't get his figure he will continue
to work it himself and grow rich
slowly.
There are several other good mines
in the vicinity OF the Cornell group,
n OF the best being owned by the
McAllen Bros, from which they have
shipped considerable good ore. They
are now running a tunnel to tap the
vein at a greater depth.
Roco Kragnaiz, another old-timer,
is working eight or ten men on his
mine on Babylon Hill, near the
crossing Of the Hamilton and Sherman
road, and taking out and shipping
considerable good-psying ore. He
thinks OF increasing his force to
twenty men.
There are many other good pros
poets in the base belt upon which
their are now at work, which in
time promise to shop up as well as
those above mentioned.-White Pine

Climbing real OF Milwaukee Girls.

Two young women of Milwaukee,
Hulda DeCalira and Annie Schroeder,
climbed to the top Of the new Pabst
brewery chimney, the tallest building
in the city, waved their handkerchiefs
to a crowd below who had watched
them perform their dangerous and re-
markable feat. The chimney is 225
feet high, and the entire ascent was
made on ladders on the outside Of the
chimney, there being q small landing
every thirty feet, so that the ladders
are in an almost perpendicular posi-
ton. To add to the dangers Of the
situation a strong wind was blowing at
the time, but the young women
neither OF whom were over 20 years
of age-never lost their nerve. The
descent was made in the same man.

The New Divorce Law.


The bill for the amendment Of the
divorce ntw bf this State, (which was
introduced-in the Senate by Mr. Pill
ing, and promptly passed by that
body, passed the House of Represen-
tatives last Thursday for the second
time, and upon the completion of the
usual formalities will be part of the
law of this State, This bill passed the
second time because a reconsideration
had been carried, in order to afford an
opportunity to consider an unknown
amendment. The amendment, how
ever, evidently did not appear and af-
ter waiting an ample length Of time
for it the House passed the bill again,
and so settled the matter.
The effect Of this new law will be to
relieve Delaware at one stroke from
those persons who come here Fl ON 9TH
er states in order to procure divorces
from our courts for reasons which
would not secure a full divorce fol
them at home. Hereafter these per.
sons will bring the divorce laws Of
their own states with them to Della.
ware, and our courts will not grant di.
yorces to soiourners here from Other
states except upon the terms Of the
law of the State where the applicant
was living when the alleged cause
or causes for divorce occurred. Since
these persons leave their own states il
order to escape the more rigorous
statutes in force there, it follows that
they will no longer come to Delaware
and that we are relieved from what
was great and growing scandal.
