The ARGoNAU'r is the uncompromising foe
OF delnagoSues--those men in high places who

The ARGoNAUT believes that enough has
been done in this country to catch the irish

that something should be done to catch the
American vote.
The ARGoNlUT believes in and advocates
these ideas, not with bumptiousness or Chau-
vinism, but with extreme tenacity.
Outside of its editorial columns the ARGo-
NAUT has MANY features of interest.
1t publishes bright weekly letters from New
York. Parts and London, from skilled CORE

ON THE WAR-PATH
A Bold, Bad Senator Who Thirsted for
Human Blood,


The $50 a. NJ. train had departed for the
Bay, carrying hilarious quorum of both
Houses. One sturdy Senator from the
jack-rabbit district had, in his exuber-
ance, taken seat in the waiting room.
and, thinking he was aboard the right
car, went to sleep.
When he awoke an hour or so later and
discovered his mistake, he was mad
very, very mad. He trudged up town
through the drizzling rain, and headed
for the Golden Eagle har-room. That
establishment was closed. The Senator
ratified the doors vigorously and then
muttering a few cuss words. turned to
leave. just as the porter, with his brain
full of burglars, Safe-crackers and the like,
rushed out and seized the befogged states
mani
"Who-hic-sh' burglar, ell ?''
OF course the porter saw his mistake
readily, and ran for his life. The Senator
was too weary to follow him far, so he
shutiied into the hotel office and de-
manded of clerk Bell that he produce the
offending porter forthwith, that he might
be slaughtered. The statesman also
wanted his card sent upstairs TO 4 brother
Senator, who, ne said, would assist him
in the bloody work. His anger in
creased, in spite of the conciliatory tac-
tics OF Mr.. Bell.
Finding that he could get no satisfac-
ton there, he finally left in terrible
stew, and, going to his lodgings, procured
two heavy revolverS and a bowie-knifc,
with which he returned to slay the porter.
The porter has neither been seen nor
heard of, but it is believed that he is
slowed away some place in the hotel eel
lar, waiting till the clouds roll by.

Human Relics In a Vein of Ore.

A correspondent of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, writing from Leadville. Col,
says: John Sunger brought to this city
an arrow head, made of tempered copper,
and a number OF human bones, which
were found in the Rocky Point mine, at
Gilman, 400 feet below the surface of the
earth, imbedded in vein of silyer-bear
ing ore. Over Si00 worth OF ore clIng to
the bones when they were removed from
the mine. The arrow head is four inches
long and one and half inches wide at the
widest part. The shank is one and half
inches long and has hole pierced
through the center by which the shaft
was fastened to the spike. The ore clung
to it when taken from. the vein, ami was
with some difficulty removed. One of
the bones is Il portion of the head OF the
femur or thigh bone. The important
feature of this discovery is the fact that
these relics were found in the center OF i,
vein of ore, indicating that man was in
existence on this continent when the
molten metal was sent coursing through
the assures of these mountains.

George Blanchard, proprietor of the

Moore was robbed several weeks ago,
(and for which robbery Jack Tucker, the
dealer, was sent to San Quentin) endeav-
ored to get his release from the custody of
the Sheriff by the habeas corpus route
yesterday.
The reason set forth by Blanchard's at
torney, Frank Estabrook, was that his
client had been held to answer by Police
Judge Cravens on insufficient evidence.
The testimony, however, showed that,
while the money won't by Tucker and
the .'cappeI's'' had been refunded to
Moore since the arrest of the gamblers,
yet Blanchard was in front of the saloon
where the game was operated and received
the spoils from Tucker as it was taken
from Moore. the victim. 1t also appeared
that Blanchard gave man who proposed
to stop the game s. to keep quiet.

of the new road, and everything indi-
Gates the greatest activity. The COM
pany which is interested in this scheme
is the Great Northern railway, which
has been struggling for three years to
get through line from Chicago. The
Kickapoo Valley road is thought to be
part of the scheme, and that line will
head for La Crosse instead of Wilton.

Hundreds of Men Now at Work In

CINCINNATI, Oct. 29.-The Cincinnati
Post prints long article by Mr.. E. H.
Wells, who has returned from his in
vestigation of tin mines in the Black
Hills of Dakota. He says:
II saw large quantities of tin ore; evi-
dences of vast expenditures of money;
numerous mills with costly machinery:
long tunnels bored through the solid
rock, and hundreds of men employed.
Engineer Wilstee stated to me that over
$5,0OO,0 900 had already been expended by
the Harvey's Peak company, which
owns most of the valuable claims near
Hill City.
"Mining Expert Childs, famous on the
Pacific coast as the manager of Hearst
and Haggin's mining interests, has re-
Gently taken charge and complete
change has taken place in the running
of affairs and half dozen large plants
are operating day and night and a $50
ton reduction mill is being erected'
When asked how soon this Black
Hills tin could be mined in sufficient
quantities to satisfy home demand, Mr..
Childs replied:
within five years. You see we don't
want to commence reducing the ore un-
til our shafts and tunnels are all run
ming and things are in proper shape. We
might have commenced smelling a good
while ago, but the quantity of ore would
not have been sufficient to keep the con-
centrators working. When we start to
taking out ore we will have enough
to keep more than 25O-ton mill hust-
ling. People on the outside, however,
can't understand why there is so long a
delay in producing the tin. They don't
realize how hard the rock is through
which we have to blast nor the time it
takes. In Cornwall the shafts have
gone down over $500 while ours are not
yet down 300.'
"Do you think the ore is improving as
you go down. Mr.. Wells queried
1T is holding its own. On the sur
face you know how rich it is"
