GRAND JURY DISCHARGED.
After Finding Fourteen Indictments
for Violations Of United
States Laws.
Five Defendants Not In Custody,
and Charges Against Them
are Withheld.
Mace, the Prize Fighter, Arrested for
Robbing - Fitzgerald
Brought Hack.

The United States grand jury finished
their work yesterday and we're discharged
by Judge Knowles. While in session they
found fourteen indictments, nine OF which
are made public. III others are withheld
because the defendants are not yot in Gus
tody. For the first time since the estab-
lishment of the coutt the grand jury pre-
sented no foi NAL report upon being dis
charged. 1t Ia usual to give expression on
these occasions to some form of compli-
ment to the court officers and the United
States district attorney. Mr.. Weed said
yesterday that he was glad they had not
lone so. It is one OF the features OF the
grand jury system which eau be dropped
without impairing the usefulness OF the
institution wrung from the crown IN Magma
Charta. After the jury were discharged
three ~prisons 3 were %arraigued. The first
was james j. Collins. charged with the
murder of n white man named Reed on the
Grow reservation. He stood up dui ing the
reading of the long indictment. Ho is
about 25 years of age, with n smooth face
marked with lines which give ii a hardened
expression. In answer to questions of the
court Collins said he had no friends in this
part of the country and had no means with
which to employ an attorney.
Judge j. J. Williams and F. Atkinson
were appointed to defend him and
he was allowed twenty-four hours in which
to plead. Medicine" a Grow Indian, who
might rose with success ns the Laat of the
Mohioans. was informed through an inter-
prefer that the Great Father accused him
of stealing cattle from the Custer Cattle
company. He did not know what an attor-
ney was. Il. G. Russell will defend him.
John Duffy. of Butte, is to defend John j.
Gar. ity. who was brought from Butte a few
DAYS ago and indicted for robbing the
malls. Clarity made arrangements to en-
ploy his lawyer. /,
Other indictments found by the grand
Jury are az follows: Alfred A.. Hassler. for
mail robbery near Lewistown, Fergus
county, last June; Eugene Turner. stealing
S110 from the Livingston post office on May
70 last. Henry L. Haupt. two indictments,
for using the mails to distribute Lottery cir
culars; Michael and Robert Murray. for
stealing a heifer on the Grow reservation.

A NEW SILVER PLAN
Lincoln Instructed to Sound the
English Cabinet
ON THE SILVER QUESTION
Bland Introduces Free Coinage Bill-The
Tyler Last Chance Case-Tesii-
mony of Experts.
On THE SILVER QUESTION
HERALD BUREAU,

WASHINGTON, Jan. u.
Minister Lincoln has been instruct
ed to invite Great Britain to join
join in an international conference on the
silver question if, in his opinion, the feel
ing of the English cabinet is such as to
justify an invitation. The dissemination
OF this news about the capitol today
caused great qualification among the silver
men although some Of them expressed re-
greet that an invitation was not to be ex-
tended directly.
The instructions to Minister Lincoln
were dispatched by direction of the Presi-
dent. About ten days ago, after the dis
closure of the purpose of the Democratic
leaders in Congress to make the plan for
an international conference a meas
ure OF party policy, Senator
TELLER, of Colorado, was called into
conference with the President and other
party leaders and anticipated in a measure
the democratic programme by introduc-
Ing his resolution of January IL which
expressed the opinion of Congress in
favor of conference. Minister Lincoln
mas barely received the communication from
Secretary Blaine and probably has not
yeG dcleu on IL. Inc presence OF repre-
sentatlves of the United States at an in
transitional conference does not require
any action by Congress unless provision
for paying the expenses of delegates, but
since the matter has become the topic of
public discussion the President is not
averse to any expression by Congress in
favor of blmetallism. Such an express
sion coming in the midst of Minister
Loncoln's conferences with the British
government might have very beneficial
effect and indicate the wishes of the
American people in way which would
have influence in England and on the con-
nent.

weeks. Sullivan must accept this chal-

BOISE CRY, Idaho, Jan, 21.- Special tel
egram to THE HERALD I'm the Tyler
Last Chance mining suit to day the first
witness was A. d. Foote, mining and civil
engineer, and superintendent of the New
York Ditch company. with offices in this
city. Mr.. Foote went to Wardner last No
vember and spent ten days making a thor
ough examination of the group of mines in
controversy. He made special examina-
zion OF the mineral bearing zone in which
the mines are located, covering a distar ce
OF two and one half to three mi es. and in
Guiding all of the primo pal mines of the
Nardner bell. He testified that the
mineral belt, in his judgment, was from
700 to 1900 feet wide at different
points; that it is aquartzite belt in which
Is contained true tissufe vein, the foot
wall OF which Is quartZite and the hanging
OF which wall is of sandstone formation :
that IN the entire width of the belt at any
point after crossing the foot wall and be-
lore re ching the sandstone ore bodies are
liable to be developed; that at no point
within the works of either The Tyler or
Last chance prol critics, either on the sur
lace or underground, has any hanging
wall been discovered; that the entire
width OF said claims after crossing the foot
wall Is IN vein matter and large bodies of
ore have been uncovered in the Last
Chance property. All of the under
ground works in the direction of
t. e hanging wall country now developed
IN the Last Chance mine, show ore
and favorable indications for large bodies
OF 1t. Mr.. F'oote was rigidly cross-exam-
ined by Lawyer Brown, of Salt Lake, on
his experience in geology and chemistry
with the evident intention of destroying
his standing as an expert, but he failed to
shake his testimony in the least
w. Q. Miller, mining engineer of the
Las t Chance, was put on the stand He
has been employed by the Last Chance
company in that capacity for the past five
years. He gave expert testimony as to the
underground works, size of ore slopes,
direction dip and strike of the same, of the
size OF the vein, where the fast wall and
hanging wall of the same are. He was posi-
tive that nothing indicating hanging wall
has been developed anywhere on the
Wardner belt, and especially within the
lines of the properties in con troversy. He
said that the only galena ore exposed
on the surface of either Of these mines is
at the Last Chance discovery. That ore
has been followed from said discovery
down into the lowest workings of the
Last Chance, showing that not only the
apex OF the vein, but the apex of the ore
chutes are within the surface lines of the
Last Chance mines. Mr. Miller was sub
jected to most rigid cross-examina alton, in
which all the lawyers on the Tyler side,
assisted by both the engineers employ ed by
the Tyler company, took part, endeavoring
to break him down, but he sustained the
ordeal heroically, resulting in really
strengthening his testimony. 1t is the
general verdict that Mr.. Miller, though a
young man, has proven himself thorough
student and is by far the best collected.
coolest and most competent witness exam
ined by either side.
