WASTE DUMPS OF BUTTE.
They Give Some Idea OF the Extent O
the Mining Operations.

They Give Some Idea OF the Extent OF
the Mining Operations.
The vast waste dumps of this district, for
such a comparatively new mining country,
are sources of wonderment to visitors from
abroad, says the Butte Inter Mountain. 1t
is ar easy matter to make a visitor believe
that in the underground workings of the
Lexington mine there are some fourteen
miles of tunnels and drifts, after he has
viewed the enormous quantity of waste on
the dump. IL represents An extraordinary
expenditure of wealth and muscle, and in
most mines the dumps do not represent the
many tons OF waste which are used Ii in filling
up the interior workings of the mines.
Hundreds OF tons are daily used in the Ana
conda mine in filling Ill places TO make the
workings more secure.
In conversation a few DAYS ago with an
old miner who has had a varied experience
of over half Il century in different mining
districts he incidentally mentioned a pecu-
liarity of these dumps. In the taking out
of waite a large percentage OF ore neceasa-
rily accompanies it, and he said that if,
after the lapse of fifty or sixty years, a
drift was run into the dump, the ore would
be found to have stratitied and fo,med it
self into a ledge similar in every way to a
natural ledge encountered in the earth. A
piece of iron left in the dump will, after a
time, attract to itself particles of mineral.
and if removed. after being buried for ten
years, will be found to be several times lta
natural siZn.

Frontier highway men would have had 4
hard time wrestling with 4 bit of gold
which arrived here BY Wells, Fargo \
o%ompany's express a few days ago, says the
Sau Francisco Examiner. II came from tho
celebrated Harqua Hala mins, and WAS con-
signed to J. Hubbard and j. b. Bowers, the
owners, for coinage at the United States
mint
When the employees of the mint took Z
look at it they were astoaished. The reason
was that 1t waa the biggsst lump of gold
that they had had the ~unhappiness TO come
in contact with, seeing that il was in one
respect like many others, being not their
own.
1t was OF a somewhat conical shape. and
seemed to have been emptied out OF \ Ri-
vantio Stag pot. II did not Eslie its looks.
for that was the. way it had been shaped.
1t was the product of ~forty-iva days. run
at the Harqua Hala, and the tremendous
was stated to be Of the value Of $4,000.
The thoughtful rep'e ssntat,vss OF the
owners of the big nugget telegraphed from
point to point as they progressed with 1t
from the mine, sixty miles southwest OF
Phoenix, and announced when 1t should ar
rive at the next station. rms was IN order
to f~orestall any ambitious men with guns;
for, though aspiring hiehwaymen were thus
kept exactly posted as to when the gold
might be ex pectsd. it also posted the people
in each town.
The nugget was too big for any party OF
bandits to carry of intact and ~secrete, and
had they stopped the caravan on the way to
the railroad they would have only had time
to chisel off $1,000 or so till the pack of
blooahounds which the prison officials at
Phoenix keep would have been on their
trail. Nobody molested it, therefore. and
it reached here safely The ponderous vel
low cone has attracted much attention.
One of the owners. Mr.. Hubbard, was q
delegate to the national mining congress
met in Helena last month.

BOSS" MURPHYS KNIFE
He Has Drawn a Sharp Knife for
Cleveland and Will Obey Hill.
TO TIE CLEvELAND'S HANDS.
That IL the Purpose of the Murphy Hill
senatorial Aiiiance-They viii Intro
duce Tammany Methods Into the U.
8. senate-Admits His Casdidacy.

ALBANY, N, Y, Dec 2.-The friends of
MIR Cleveland In New York aud in the
country at large might as well realize
how that deep seated conspiracy is on
foot In this State to thwart his intentions
in the matter of federal patronage. and
to tie his hands by electing to the United
States Senate In January man who Will
obey the commands Of David B. Hill,
from a partisan standpoint, rather than
the wishes of the Democratic President,
from patriotic consideration.
1t is settled that Edward Murphy, Jr.,
of Troy, chairman of the Democratic
state committee, friend OF David Is. Hill,
antagonist Of Grover Cleveland and one
third proprietor of the party In this state,
is to succeed Frank Hiscock, Republican
OF Syracuse, in the Uuited States Senate.
Murphy has made known his demand
and the Democratic bosses have acqui-
esced.
More or less doubt has been expressed
over Mr.. Murphy's sincerity as a candi-
date.
The matter was settled for good and all
yesterday afternoon when Mr.. Murphy
said to one OF his closest friends: II am
a candidate for the United States Senate.
am entitled to the nomination aud IN
tend to take il. In the Democratic eau
Gus, no other name will be mentioned
than mine" Mr.. Murphy is to-day the
most powerful Democrat in the state,
next TO Richard Croker. His principality
is one OF the richest in the state. No
landed proprietors In Great Britain can
compare with it in the number OF SER
wants employed, the money expended or
the influence controlled.
The politicians still concede that Ed
Murphy is the strongest politician in the
State, and controls a larger amount OF
territory and more men than any other
leader, with the single exception OF Rlch-
ard Croker.
To-day in all the thirty departments OF
the State not more than ten clerks remain
who are known To have Cleveland pro
clivites. The fight made against this
class of Office holders has been deliberate
and studied. 1t requires no deep-seated
knowledge of politics to understand what
all this maneuvring means. IL means
that the men who have been antagoniz-
ing the President-elect, who signed the
paper asserting that he could not carry
New York il nominated, are determined t.
if it is within their power. to grasp the
United States by the throat aud To pre-
vent during their tenure OF Office the con-
flrmations sent in by the President which
they do not approve.

AN EXPRESS WAR.
Adams and American Express Co.'s Fight
for New England Business.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The initial move
ment in what seems to be well planned
war for express business in New England
between the American Express Co. and
the Adams Express Co., was instituted
yesterday.
For some time II has been known in
railroad and express circles that the
American Express Co. would be compet-
Itor for business of ne New England
railroad, but IL was not until yesterday
that the negotiations looking TO the con-
troll OF the express business OF the New
England road by the American were
closed and the Adams Co. cut of.
With the statement that the American
Express Co. had taken control came an
announcement that the New England
road had been enjoined from entering in
TO contract with the American Express
Co. II is learned, however, that the
American Express is doing New England
business under the contract, despite the
legal complication.
