THE MONTANA GEM MINES.
Investors VIII Do Well to Investigate
Before Buying stock.
sup

New York sun.
We ind in q recent financial article OF the
London Times a statement that has already re-
cetved some attention in this country relative
to the existence OF precious gems In the state OF
Montana.
The Sapphire and Ruby Company (inited).
already pretty well ventilated here, Is described
in London as q new company, having q capital
stock of $50 ordinary shares, each OF the value
of 81, and 400 founders shares of like value.
"This company has been formed for the purpose
of acquiring certain gem-bearing lands COM
prising an area of about 1900 acres, with mining
and water rights, IN the state OF Montana, United
States OF America" The purchase money, &C.
cording TO the account, is not TO be paid TO the
sellers OF the land until at least two of the
directors OF the company have approved the
property; In view OF which the London Times
aptly inquiries: off there Ia any doubt about
the value OF the property would 1t not have
been wiser, In view of the experience of the
Ruby Mining Company, for the directors TO
have made sure they could approve OF 1t before
asking for subscriptions?'
; While it may be true that the potential wealth
and vast possibilities of the West are not ade-
quately appreciated on the Atlantic seaboard,
English investors might naturally have pre-
sumed that If sapphires and rubes, or either of
them, existed in Montana to any notable ex-
tent, We should have heard great deal more
about them here In the East than we ever have
heard up to the present time; aud IL would
hardly have been necessary to go to London TO
raise capital for such a mining enterprise.
We are strongly inclined to think that IL the
investors in the Sapphire and Ruby Company of
Montana want 70 be sure to get their money
back, they must take care not to pay any more
for the land they buy than its fair market value
for agricultural or grazing purposes, including
the worth of such timber as there may be
upon il.

VOTING QUALIFICATION.

IALUNA, DEC. ., I6yI.
To THE EDITOR: Your answer to inquiry
about the qualification Of electors in todsy's
issue was not quite correct. Under the terri
torial law foreign born males of the requisite
age could vote after having declared their in
tentions to become citizens, and the state con-
stitution provides that all males who were voters
in the territory may vote in state elections. All
other foreigners, as you stated, must become
citizens before they can vote. s. B. p.

SHOULD LEHMAN BE HUNG


The Lead City Herald and Hill City
News, are violently opposed to the hang.
ing Of J ohm b. Lehman, condemned for
the murder of John III. Burns, near
Fairburn two years ago and now await
ing in the county Jail in this city, the
execution of his death sentence. The
Hermosa Pilot takes different ~
popular view of the question which Ia
conclusively shown in the following
article which is reproduced from late
issue of that paper:
Tne Pilot dislikes to see human life
taken. The entire community was
shocked when word was received two
years ago this summer that Jim Burns,
as he was familiarly known, had been
cruelty and brutally slain by John Il.
Lehman, while discharging his official
duties as constable. Lehman has time
and again, in court and out of court,
been proven rascally villain while he
has numerous times been examined as
to his sanity, and each time pronounced
sane. He has twice been tried for the
killing of Burns, and each time twelve
good and true men decided he should
receive the highest punishment the law
intiicts-they all believe him thoroughly
guilty of crime that should be punish
ed by death. The officers in whose
custody Lehman has been for two years
are emphatic in their opinion that Leh-
man is an ugly, uncomfortable, design
ing rascal, with scarcely human instincts,
and yet of sound mind. True he APP
pears, and virtally is, insane when in a
passion, but it is his temperament and
his madness that makes him insane, and
not his insanity that makes him mad.
AS was proven in the trials, and as is
known throughout Custer county. Leh-
man had said he would kill somebody
If they attempted TO arrest him. There
fore he went prepared TO kill someone,
and upon the fatal day that he killed
Burns he had planned for IL. 1t was
sanely premeditated, and sanely execut-
ed. He did not go at it like q crazy
man, neither did he act like a crazy
man in evading the officers aud stand
ing orr an angry populance after the
bloody affair occurred.
If the News and Herald dislike the
law that Furnishes murderer by hang
ing it is we'll enough to object TO the law
but they certainly should not object to
the enforcement Of the law in this in
stance.
If ever capital puishment was merit
ed it appears to us that it is in the, case
Of JOHN ID. Lwrnau. lime tenus 10
soften the angry feelings that were ART
reused in the hearts of the neighboril
of james Burns when Lehman so brutal
ly shot him, but cold.blooded muryftfrr'
will never be avenged until the life OF
John B. Lehman goes out on the gal
lows.
Such is right, such is justice, such is
law.

Queen Esther.

A troop of native talent, from Custer
City, performed the above beautiful
opera at Hill City Wednesday night -
house that packed the Miners union
hall to its utmost capacity. To speak oi
the merits of the different performers
would take more space than can be
given to this article, but the singing oi
Mrs Burton in the character Of the
Jewish queen, cannot be passed without
q special notice. From the rising Of the
curtain until its fall she entranced all
her hearers; her sweet and cultured
voice could be distinguished far above
the din Of the immense chorus. The
troop may come to Deadwood, and II
they do they can rest assured ofa packed
house. The proceeds of the entertain
ment are for the benefit of the different
churches of Custer City, and the royal
welcome that we received on the 9th ol
june will stimulate us to fill the house

The Lake.

The report of Engineer Tucker, of the
3. d NJ. on the artificial lake site, which
was occupying his attention during the
early part of the week, was most favor
able. the enterprise being found to be
entirely feasible. 1t was determined
that dam of the height of 81 feet would
food an area of 1000 feet in length and
800 feet in width, the expense Of which
would not exceed 5000.
He strongly recommends the estab-
iishment Of the enterprise, which would
give 20 Custer one of tho grannrst lakes
in the world. and materially add to the
great galaxy of attractions by which the
place is already SO highly favored.
Now that it has been definitely de-
termiped that the construction of the
lake is feasible, and that its cost will be
comparatively insignificant, the vital
question arises: Will We proceed to
build IL? Echo answers, will We?

At 3 80 o'clock yesterday afternoon
five prisoners confined in the Lawrence
county Jail, waiting investigation by the
grand jury, of charges against them, con-
cluded to forego further hospitality
from Sheriff Mcdonald and make a
break for liberty. The men were Gil
bert Lightfoot, William, alias Tex John
son, Carl Rivers, Melville McDougall,
and John Freeman. They were all out
in corridor together, Gnd securing an old
case knife, or other sharp instrument,
set to work picking mortar from between
the bricks separating them from the
outside world. The wall is only six in
ches thick and TO cut hole twenty in
ches square took little pains and no
great amount Of time. The FIVE men
crawled through: Freeman being the
last TO breathe the pure air of liberty.
The four were well on their way to hid
ing when he started at dead run,
through the alley behind the Jail yard.
Meeting Mr.. johnson keeper Of livery
stable in the neighborhood, the fugitive,
in spirit of SILLY bravado, yelled out
''go tell the deputy sheriff that five Of
bis prisoners have escaped" Johnson
obeyed the mandate, Deputy Sweet
rushed out at once, overlook Freeman
and returned him to Jail. Had not the
fellow sent his message by Johnson, the
delivery would probably not haye been
discovered for an hour or two, or until
all were safe beyond pursuit After
locking Freeman up, Sweet telephoned
and telegraphed descriptions of the men
and news Of the escape to all points in
the Hills and then started in pursuit.
At 6 o'clock Tex johnson had been over
taken and recaptured near the ball
grounds. Up to 0 o'clock the remain
ing fugitives were still roaming the hills
and gulches, or hiding in some shaft or
tunnel.
Lightfoot and Johnson are two Of the
men arrested for burglartzing the Wide
Awake. Freeman was waiting trial for
burgiaria!ng room on lower Main
street; McDougal was in for robbery,
and Rivers is the chap who rolled man
at the Gem for $500 couple Of months
ago.-Deadwood Times.
Later-All OF the prisoners have been
captured except Lightfoot and McDugal,
who are still are large.
