and received good returns on the invest

mines and to Helena comes the hons
shares of the profits. IL there room for

one who dispassionately looks at the facts

both in wealth and population?
Bat Helena is not compelled to 60 many
| miles from her borders to find thousands of
rich mines, In a limited radius are hun
dreds of rich gold and silver districts, and
in them are some of the best paying mines
in the state. Close to the city are the
! Uniopville, Scratch Gravel, Rimlnl, Holmes,
| Orc Elmo, Red Mountain, Helena and Seven
| Mile districts. Hundreds of thousands OF
dollars have been poured into Helena from
nearby mines. and during the coming
wear the output from them will be greater
than the past five combined. This will be
due to the fact that while Helena's capital
has been busy opening up mines farther
away in other portions of the state, it has
to a certain extent neglected the mines
close to the city Now the profits ffein the
outside properties are coming IN, n a
portion of these will be used in developing
mines near the capital.

Notes.

The wet weather of the past week has
prevented any work being done at the race
track here, as the ground was too soft for
either horse or trainer.
Five thousand premium lists for the Mon
tana state fair will be issued this week and
they will be sent by mail to those applying
to Secretary Francis Pope.
Many of the horses that nave been stab
ling at the Helena fair grounds have gone
to Glendive and Miles City. Ed Lafferty

Fred Stafford takes Viceroy and one Of

Firenzf in Bad Shane,

1t is more than probable that the racing
public has seen the last of j.. B. Haggin's
great mare Firenzi. the %conqueror of The
Bard, Tenny, Kingston n every other
high-class thoroughbred save her own sta
BILE companion, Salvador, and che never
met him in a race for blood at a mile and a
half, or the result would have been doubt
full, says a New York dispatch to the San
Francisco Examiner. Firenzi was being
prepared for her numerous engagements
this season, including the New York Jockey
club handicap, the Suburban handicap, the
Monmouth cup. the Westchester cup, the
Coney Island cup and the Champion stakes
at Morris Park. Her trainer, Matt Byrnes,
who has had charge of her during her en-
tire racing career, was more than pleased
with the way the queen of the turf was
taking to her work. While being prepared
for the New York Jockey club handicap at
Morris Park she VEN splendidly, but pulled
up a trifle lame. A veterinarian found that
the cannon bones and tendons were in
iured, the mare having struck herself very
hard during her gallop. He was loath to
admit that he thought Firenzi had raced
for the last time. Even under the most
favorable circumstances it will be the mid
die of July or the first of August before the
more can face the flag. Later reports. how-
ever, are that Firenzi will be ready for rae
ing in a few days. During her racing ca
reer Firenzi has started seventy-nine times
and come in winner forty-tive. Her win
nings for her owner were fully Sl20,000.

Annual Inspection at the Armory This
Eyening-Target Practice.
Tonight at the armory the city com
panies of the National Guard, brigade
field and staff officers, signal corps, band
etc., will be inspected and mustered by
the Brigade Inspector, Major F. D. Ryan.
1t is an important occasion, and all Off
GERS and enlisted men should be present.
Adjutant- General Allen will review the
troops before the inspection takes place.
Colonel Hubbard, Majors Houghton
and Heilbron, Lieutenant-C Colonel Gard
ner and Majors Leake and Dillman have
been busy the past week examining into
the condition of the arms, uniforms, gun
carriages, harness, books and accounts,
and will submit written reports to the
Brigade Inspector, who will make his re-
port to the Acknowledgement of the State.
This inspection will be the most thor
ough that has taken place in years, and
will give the authorities an insight into
the actual condition of the State troops.
The Commander-in-C Chief, through his
able Adjutant, General Allen, is deter
mined that the State money appropriated
for the maintenance of the National
Guard shall be used to the best advantage.
He is scrutinizing matters very closely in
every department., and under his super
vision target practice will be given a new
Impetus, as he is determined that every
one connected with the force shall partici-
pate in the semi-annual target practice

SEVEN FOR CONVICTION.
Another Jury Disagreement In Il
Daniel Gardner Case.

Another Jury Disagreement In the
Daniel Gardner Case.
The jury in the Gardner case, after be.
ing out all night, were called into Judge
Van Fleets courtroom yesterday fore
noon and informed the court that there
was no possibility of their agreeing, and
they were accordingly discharged It is
understood that Jurors Maltby, Dias
Stalker, Ross, McManus, Taylor and
Ford held out for conviction, and Jurors
Stephenson, Champlin, Gallup, Leitch
and Butterfield for acquittal.
Cn Saturday night, when the Jurors
were called into the courtroom and inter-
rogated by Judge Van Fleet as to the
prospect OF an agreement, the court dis
covered a rather novel circumstance.
When the case was given to the jury in
the afternoon the prisoner was remanded
by the court to the custody of the Sheriff;
but, instead of returning Gardner to the
JUL, the deputies who were placed in
charge of the jury took him up stairs,
where he was permitted to remain in their
company in the corridor outside the Jury
room.
While nobody imagined that the depu-
ties did or would allow the prisoner to
address any passing juror, still the court
considered it such an innovation upon
the usual rule of procedure as to deserve
severe reprimand.
Quite heated controversy arose be-
tween the prosecuting officers and the
counsel for the defense over the matter.
but, like all such courtroom spats, it had
its end.
District Attorney Ryan was asked by
RECORD UNION reporter yesterday
whether-in view of two juries having
disagreed-he intended TO again try the
case. He replied that such was his in
tention

SACRAMENTO CONDITIONAL.

A Prospect of the President Being Seen
fin This City.
1t now looks as if President Harrison
had about made up his mind to spend at
least few hours in this city during his
visit to the coast, but even that seems to
be ''conditionaF' upon some contingency
the nature of which is not apparent.
On Saturday the San Francisco COM
mittee telegraphed to Secretary Haltord
and Senator Stanford yesterday inquiring
whether or not any of the time the Presi-
dent is to spend in this city and vicinity
had been definitely disposed OF 1t was
understood that the President was to Law
the cornerstone and assist in the OPEN
ing exercises of the Stanford University
at Palo Alto, but the reply received from
Senator Stanford was to the effect that the
cornerstone of the university was laid
two years and more ago, and that the
opening of the institution will not take
place until some time next October. The
reply from Secretary Halford reads as
follows:
WASHINGTON I'd. Co., April 11.-The Presi-
Dental party leaves Washington Tuesday
next for st. Louis direct. The only arrange
ment made for a meeting after leaving SAN
Francisco is at Sacramento, and that is con-
ditional. You may arrange for the reception
and entertainment. ELIJAH HALFoRD,
Private secretary.
According to the original programme
the President was to reach San Francisco
on the 18th, but the dates have been
changed SO that his arrival will be on
Tuesday, the 2Sth. The remainder ofthat
week will be spent in and about San
Francisco, including visits to Santa Cruz,
Monterey, Palo Alto and other points.
Before the change in the dates it had
been arranged that the Presidential train
should leave San Francisco on its home
ward journey at 2 o'clock on Sunday
morning, May Sd, arriving in Sacramento
at 6, and remaining here until 10 A. NJ
Under the new arrangement the party is
expected to leave San Francisco at 10
O'Clock on Sunday night, which will
bring the visitors here at about 2 O'Clock
on Monday morning.
Whether or not the President has def
nitely decided to accept the invitation ex-
tended him by Mayor Comstock, on be-
half Of the citizens of this city, to spend
day or more in the Capital City, is not
known, as no reply has been received to
the telegram. He seems to have Sacra-
mento on his CONDITIONAL list, however,
which gives some reason for indulging
the hope that the people will be enabled
to gaze upon real, live President.

The weather Yesterday.

The weather yesterday was soft and
pleasant, and great crowds of people
sought the suburbs of the city, where
they gathered wild flowers and enjoyed
themselves in various ways.
The Signal Service temperature at A..
NJ. and P. NJ. was 450 and 59o,
while the highest and lowest was 6Oo and
40, with gentle southerly winds and a
nearly clouded sky.
The barometrical readings at A. NJ.
and P. NJ. were 30.05 and 80 inches re-
spectively, which indicates a falling
barometer.
The highest and lowest temperature one
year ago yesterday was 62o and $40, and
one year ago to-day, 670 and 44o, with no
rainfall on either day'

FOLSOM SUPERVISION BRIDGE.
1t is Said to be In Danger of CoIlapsfna
Under a Load.

When the County Supervisors pur-
chased the suspension bridge over the
American river at Folsom, few years
ago, and made it free to all, some repairs
were made to it. Still, from time to time
of late there have been rumors that the
structure was unsafe.
Now comes the Folsom Telegraph with
a warning TO the Supervisors that the
bridge is in danger of going down under
a heavy load, owing to the weakness of
the towers. That paper states that Road
Overseer Boyd of that district has serious
fears of the safety of the bridge. The
towers that hold the bridge up are, it
says, in very bad condition, and are
badly rotted in places. Some of these
days big herd of cattle will attempt to
cross and the structure will collapse with
them.
Mr.. Boyd says that the towers were
erected twenty-nine years ago, and with
the exception of the insertion of piece
The record-union., 1891-04-13

or two for the purpose of filing rotten
part, the county has done nothing to the
bridge. The Supervisors think the
bridge does not need any repairs. but il
certainly does. The condition of the
structure, as reported by Mr.. Boyd, who
is experienced in such matters, is alarm
ing, and the attention of Supervisor
Greer is called to it.
About year ago a suspension bridge
suddenly collapsed while some stock was
passing over it. 1t is not believed that
any great amount of danger exists to the
passage of single teams over the bridge,
but in short time the dairymen in those
parts viii be leaving for the foothills with
their herds, and the bridge should be
made thoroughly safe, If necessary, before

Struck the Wrong Girl.

There is said to be young man down
on Ryer Island who has lost much of his
confidence in human nature, and pretty
schoolmarms in particular. AT one time
he had an exalted opinion of school
marms. He would do anything for one
row her seven miles against the tide of
Steamboat Slough three times a week.
Recently, says the Rio Vista NetUs, he
had nearly exhausted himself in rowing
schoolInarm seven or eight miles, and
on landing offered to escort her to the
house where she wished to go, when she
politely informed him that she preferred
TO go alone. That was crusher to poor
Myers, and he wants nothing more to do
with any Of them. He says he would not
even throw out straw to save one from
