CHILI,S NITRATE MINES.

The nitrate beds of Chill, and those in
terested in them, are playing an important
part in the war talk, and i. g. frequently
asserted that there could be no war because
the men who work the nitrate beds couldn't
profit by one. These beds have not always
been thought valuable. The supposed
desert of Atacsma separated Chilli on the
north from Peru. So worthless was it
deemed that it was not known how much
of it belonged to Bolivia, how much to
Peru, when their Independence was de-
clared. Chill paid no attention to posi-
BILE claims of her own until 1866, when she
made a compact with Bolivia to act as CO.
partners in the profits of the saltpeter
accidentally discovered in the des-
ert. Exhaustion of the guano beds
made Peru anxious to secure footing in
the new mines, and Peru showed Bolivia
that Chill was getting moro than her
rightful share of the mineral wealth. Bo-
livia asked for rearrangement of terms.
Failing in this, Bolivia made secret
treaty with Peru, and Chilli declared war.
Chill was not only victorious in battle on
sea and land, but made Peru pay the ex-
penses of the war with nitrate revenues
and cede to Chilli considerable saliferous
tract, the mining of which has been a
source of increasing profit to Chilli. These
beds of nitrates are sufficient to supply
the world, one scientist declares. for more
than twelve hundred years; another
lowers this estimate to three hun
dred years. The mines are easily worked
with spades and the raw product made
merchantable by cheap and simple
chemical process. Neither Peru. which
still retains considerable nitrate tract,
nor Chilli, works the mines. They let to
| companies, and these companies have been
recently consolidated in London under the
direction of Colonel J. T. North, known al
the nitrate king. The Grace brothers, Of
New York, are sharers in the nitrate trust
One of them, Michael Grace, lived fol-
many years in Lima and Santiago looking
after railways and other debentures, ani
now resides in London in charge of tn,
general financial and commercial affairs o.
his house.
Some idea of the magnitude of the nj
trate interests may be gained from the fac
that Chili's nitrate export to Great Britail
alone amounts to $27 ZOO, 900 annually. O
course the nitrate trust wants peace.

flourish best in warm weather, but the fol-
lowing story is now told by Gardiner,
Maine, sportsman: He was shooting on q
very cold day, and just as he was about to
return home he was confronted byh big
oatamount. While loading his gun he
found, after he had put the powder in,
that he had no bullets. Beads of perspir-
alton stood out on his face and froze like
hailstones as they dropped to the ground.
Scooping up handful he dropped them
into his gun, but the barrel being hot they
melted. He fred, however, and a stream
of water that issued forth was frozen in
stantly into an iciole, which penetrated the
brain of the catamount.
The importation of frozen meat into
England is increasing year by year. From
Is to 20 per cent. of all the muttons con-
sumed in the British Isles comes from
New Zealand and the River Plate, to say
nothing of other sources of supply. Last
year New Zealand sent nearly two million
and the Plate more than one million car
casses. Australia is coming to the front.
In three years it's exports in carcasses have
risen from 10000 to $40, 900, and there is
no doubt that the business in few years
will assume vast proportions. Sheep
raising has also been begun in the Faulk-
land Islands, which exported 20,000 car
casses last year as a beginning. The whole
of this trade has sprung up in less than
fo,, What ~ ho Tan rc
hence can scarcely be guessed.
Some people are sharp. Christian Long,
who began life as a clock-peddler, has died
at Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, after a
notable career as evangelist, legislator,
lobbyist and millionaire. One of Mr..
Longs most successful schemes to found q
fortune was to visit farmers house,
spend the evening, make himself agreeable
by playing on the fiddle, of which he was
a master, and finally trade clock for q
certificate of Cumberland Valley railroad
stock. The company was verging on
bankruptcy for q time, and Mr.. Long
apiece. The consequence was that when
he got ready to quit peddling clocks Mr..
Long controlled enough Cumberland Val
ley stock to enable him to dictate the
election of directors and their officers.
Any way to kill people. Captain w. F.
Peel of the British army has a new weapon
which he calls "the magazine rifle attach
ment for cavalry" This contrivance is to
be fastened under the horses body, with
the muzzle protruding between the ami
mails forelegs, and is to be discharged by
the rider at short range when charging in
fantry. The Captain maintains that a
fairly accurate and destructive fire could
be delivered in this manner with most de-
moralizing effect. In short, he believes
that cavalry thus armed would be ire
sistible. Grotesque as the idea seems at
first, it has been thought worthy of a trial
by the military authorities, and General
Wolseley ordered special committee to
report upon a series of experiments in Ire
land. These do not appear to have been
brilliantly successful, but Captain Peel, in
no way discouraged, has started for India
with the view of introducing his system

THE GREAT
Substitution SHOE SALE!


854 Chapel Street,
Is un-xampled in shoe trade history. M.
Bristol & Sons are selling out. Our con-
nection with the new "Bristol Shoe Manu-
featuring Company" on Orange street
of boots and shoes must be out of our
store within the next six weeks. $50, 900
worth of boots and shoes must be sold.
Former prices knocked out, positively.
This sacrifice beats them all.
Friday morning, December 11th, our
prices will be cut all along the line, and
bargains unheard of will be offered.
We determined after 80 years of business
to manufacture and sell our own goods,
and as consequence our Bristol Shoe
Manufacturing company was organized
ready for our disposition. We must use
our own new shoes and therefore must
clean out all other makes.
The consideration for cost or former
prices is out of the question. 'Twould be
folly to look elsewhere for shoes of the same
grade at our prices. Raw leather cannot
be bought as cheap. We mention few of
our unapproachable bargains:

The Helena & Castle r. r.

Good news comes from the direction
of Castle, that Captain Merritt with a
party of II men are surveying the road
from that point to Helena. They have
already run a line as far as the Springs.
Another large party of surveyors are
working on the Helena end of the route.
Captain Merritt has said that he will be
in Neihart sometime this summer
There is no doubt but what the Captain
will come for the purpose of extending
his line here and his coming will be in
order to find the best possible route.
Helena people after running a road as
far as Castle are not going to stop there
and leave Neihart out of their plans.
Even though Helena has not so favor
able a location as Great Falls she has
great wealth back of her and if Helena
undertakes to do anything the enterprise
will not lack financial backing.
= The people of Helena are going to
make that place if possible, the largest
city in Montana. Already that city has
gotten the appropriation of 100000
from congress for a military post, show
ing that her influence is not only felt
here in Montana, but is extended as far
as Washington. When we can secure Il
road to Helena the people of Neihart
can look for better freight rates, not to
that place, but to Great Falls and all
other points. The building of such Il
road will be M doubt of great benefit to
Neihart, saving many thousand of dol
lars and she will have two outlets, one

keeper refused to do and Mr.. Roehl not

the doors. The bartender, Sam Godding,
objected and at the same time Lyons
came up and walked Roehl out of the

and witnesses say he did not. Never
the less Roehl carries a swollen lip as
evidence. The jury returned Il verdict
Of not guilty and Lyons was dismissed.
