THE ALGONQUIN and TROUT DEAL
Nothing Definitely Known Regarding the
Big Deal-SOme Time Before 1t
Will BE COmsumated-Ri-
Metallic ExtensiOn-Etc
The A1gonquin-Trout Deal.

Inc DEAL
So for as we can ascertain up to this
morning there is nothing definitely
known regarding the much-talk-of deal
between Messrs. Caplice and Tower and
the syndicate that has been negotiating
with them to get control of the properties.
One report was circulated, stating that it
had positively been settled, and that Mr..
Caplice had ''let co." but recent letter
from that gentleman to his son says that
owing to the absence IN Europe of one of
the principal holders in the Trout pro-
perty, it will require some time before a
definite decision can be arrived at. Min
ing men in this section who are supposed
to be in position to know something
about the deal seem confident that it will
go through all right.
In view of the possibility of the Trout
being operated again, the holders of
claims in that section have been looking
up their stakes and some extra develop
ments are under way in many of them;
also some transfers have been prompted
by the bare possibility of renewed action
in the Trout and algonquin mines, which,
If the deal is consummated, will be work
ed Jointly by the new syndicate.

Bi.Metallic Extension.

There is no delay in the operations at
this property. The shaft is being sunk
with the same energy noticeable as when
it was trst begun. Stratas of ore are be-
ing passed through at frequent intervals,
and as depth is attained these seams of
ore become larger and stronger, indicat-
ing that 5hey are on the right course to
reach the permanent vein believed to ex-
ist in their gronnd. This company feel
confident that by crosscutting to the
vein from the present depth they would
come into good body of ore, bat they
propose carving out their original plans
and sink to the 50O-foot level before MAX

Some activity in the sale of East
Granite stock is noticeable this week.
Several blocks of five hundred shares
each have changed hands since last Fri
day, when it became known that an ex-
tensive and rich vein of ore had been en-
countered while sinking in the shaft,
coming IN from the north, which it is sup
posed 1t is the renowned Sunnyside vein
or small portion thereof. The manage
ment of the East Granite have been con-
fdent all the time that they would cut
through this vein, but its extent seems
to be much greater than they had antici-
pated at their present depth.

Hugh Archibald, of Ovando, was in
Philipsburg during the past week, and
gave The MAIL number of important
facts regarding fishing, and the practices
resorted to by many so-called fishermen.
He claims, with just reason too, that
there should be prohibit1ve law against
fishing in any manner whatever during
the spawning season-that is between
the 18th of April and the 18th of June
He says that he has known cases innum-
erable where tishermen(Y have gone to
the streams during that season, armed
with clubs and literally dubbed the fish
to death; that during the spawning
period the fish lay on top Of the water
with their fins sticking out, and that it
is an easy matter for these brutal fish
mongers to kill them with one blow with
a club. He urges, therefore, that there
should be law prohibiting fishing of
any kind during the period mentioned
before. If such practices are kept up it
will be but matter of very short time
before there will be no fish at all in the
streams of Montana, as millions are
annually killed just prior to spawning,
not only killing mothers, but thousands
of others which would have inhabited
our streams. This is proper matter to
be brought up before the next state legis-
lature for action.

Things looked little blue for the
young Confederate at that period,
but he did not give up because the
Confederacy was dead. He read law
in Americus, and was admitted to the
bar in 1866. In 1872 he was appoint
ed Solicitor General of the South
western Circuit, and was reappoint-
ed in 1873 for the full term Of four
years, and removed to Americus,
where he has since resided.
At the expiration of his term in
1877 he was appointed Judge of the
Superior Court elected the follow
ing year by the Legislature to the
same Office, and reelected in 1880 for
full term of four years, resigning
in 1882 to accept seat in the Forty
eighth Congress. He has been con-

tior is equivalent to the defeat of

A Lost Boy Found.

Levistown Free Press December
9:-Yesterday week Thomas Hibsh-
man and SOD, accompanied by Theo
dore, l4-year old son of JACOB Steid-
ley, were returning from Mifflintown,
having assisted some one in taking
cattle down from here, and while
coming up through the narrow ws
young Steidley in some way was left
along the road, and being weak
minded was unable to find his way
homeward- Not turning up by
Thursday, and his folks becoming
concerned for his safety, the court
house bell was rung to assemble a
posse of men to institute a search.
Quite a number responded, who re-
paired to the narrows prepared to
scour that region for the lost boy.
He was first discovered by officer
Price on the tow path, apparently
unable to walk, having suffered some
from cold and hunger. He was fin
ally got into buggy with George
Frying and James keever. who gave
him to eat of some sandwiches they
had thoughtfullY taken along. The
place hs was found was in the neigh
borhood of tho seven mile
tavern. He was brought into
town about l p. m, on Thursday,
two or three hundred people lining
the side walks of Main and Market
streets to catch a glimpse of the res
cued and rescurers. He was restor-
ed to his anxious parents, living on
Juniata street, amidst the acclama-
tions of neighbors who had gathered
to witness his return.
