The Rich Lead Encountered in the Mine
This Week.
An important strike was made in the

The work Of crosscutting to the lead
has been under way for some time, and
though this work has been slow and ex-

have body Of ore in sight that will
fully compensate for all expense and
trouble.
The vein at this depth shows firmness
and the walls are we'll defined; in fact.
the mine shows such Improvement at
the depth now attained that the com

FIRE AT kIRkVlLLE.
Ihe Dirty Work of lncendiary Last
Tuesday Morning.

A''o Pli'y work OF an lncendiary Last
Tuesday Morning.
At $40 o'clock Tuesday morning a
large elght-roomed frame house in Kirk
vile, the property Of Form & Hoffman.
was discovered to be on fire, and within
thirty minutes was reduced to ashes and
charred lumber
| The fire started on the outside at tha
southeast corner of the building, and a
slight breeze blowing from the southeast
at the time consequently the flames
swept with great rapidity over and
through the frame work.
The house had been unoccupied for
three days previous to the fire. In the
front room, however, were packed some
household = goods belonging to haywood
Smith, formerly of this place but now
residing in Anaconda, which were saved
by the many willing hands present.
The cause of the fire is not at all a
mystery among the residents of Kirk
Yllle, as they seem quite certain who did
the develish work.
The property formerly belonged to
Mrs. Penryn but was attached by seve-
raj Philipsburg merchants for small
amount and sold at sheriff's sale and
was bought in by Messrs. Form &, Hoff-
man, the saloon men of Kirkville.
Directly adjoining was frame house
belonging to M. b. Scott, the lumber
man, which was saved by the diligent
work of few men. '@ 't@1
The loss to the owners by the fire is
about Sl,5OO; no insurance.

GRANIYK MOUNTAIN
Its Fabulous Production of
Wealth. WI
HAS MADE MANY MILLI0NAIRES
"A Brief History and Romantic Re
view AS Published in the Denver
Gold Nugget-Tha Mine NOtEx-
hausted and History May Re
peat Itself : Wonderful.

When the history of the great stool
transaction is written the story of Gran
lte Mountain must occupy foremos
place. Perhaps no single enterprise eve1
brought such sudden and great wealth
to single community. 1t reads like 70
nance, and were it not for the substanti
al evidences of its reality in the form OF
great public buildings and palatial houses
IN the city of st. Louis to-day we would
have to give it place among the Nun
chausen episodes of mining. 1t tseems that
ten years age two men, named Clark and
Mcclure, went into st. Louis with min
ing stock scheme. These men were with
out money or influence, but they claimed
to have big mine up in Montana--the
Granite Mountain. After many discour-
aging ventures they finally interested a
few men who took little of the stock at
10 and 20 cents. l... ,.. ,........--..-,..
Naturally the work of developing the
mine dragged, with such meagre support
as they were able to draw from the re-
luctant Missourians. But there came a
day, two years later, when the stock
'leaped from 10 cents to $780,; then 81;
then to $40. Monthly dividends came
pouring in to the fortunate holders. At
first a 5-cent dividend, then 10 cents, later
70 5'cents, and soon the monthly dividends
leaped to 80 cents a share, and stock
rose to S56. The astonishing sum Of $500.
600 month was distributed in st. Louis
until the sum reached Sl2,22O,OOO. Fi11
Men went wild, Millionaires were made
in single nigth. L. M. and Mosee
Rumsey are to-day millionalres from tran
sactlng. The imnence granite block oc-
cupylng an entire square on Washington
avenue, the most palat1aI residence il
the city, and a huge block OF third Ma
t1onal bank stock represent the dividend
which Granite Mountain gave to John
w. Lionberger. Mcclure himself. Who II
said to have walked the streets Of ST.
Louis on his uppers, hawking his stock
at 10 cents, is today an owner of the i
Laclede building on 4th and Olive. and
occupies an elegant home in Vendeyerter
flace. From a few hundred invested
Aaluguste Ewing was able to resign a So.
Joo position and is spending his days in

he fortunate ones have put little of

Admiral skerrett and the U. S. S. Mo-

VALLEJO, Dec. 30.-Constructor
Taylor, United States navy, will
report the United States ship Mo-
hican ready for sea duty and for
the reception of Commodore Skier
rett, Acting Rear Admiral of the
Pacific squadron, to-day. Since
the Mohican's return from the
Behring sea she has eaten, in re-
pairs and otherwise, quite a hole
in the treasury. The cost of re-
pairs has exceeded by many thou
sands the amount demanded by
the board of inspectors and ap-
proved by the Secretary of the
Navy.
The destination of the Mohican
is Honolulu, where she will be flag
ship of the Pacific squadron. On her
arrival Commodore Skerrett will
inspect the Boston, after which the
Boston will be ordered home. The
Mohican will sail from Mare ISL
and Immediately after the arrival
of Commodore Skerrett, which will
be next week.

WILL VISIT Us.
Proposed Trip of United States
Con3ressmen.

An extended trip is contemplated
by contingent of the members of
the United States Senate and
House of Representatives. The
scheme is visit to the Hawaiian
Islands to be taken by fifteen De-
mocrats and fifteen Republicans
from the House, and seven Demo
Gratis and seven Republicans from
the Senate, the trip, of course, to
be made at the expense of the
United States.
The object is said to be a bust
ness one, though whether this
means the purchase of some island
for a coaling station, or to make
arrangements for laying a Pacific
cable, or to enter into negotiations
for the annexation of the Hawaiian
group is not yet stated.
One or the other of these may be
the ostensible object of such a trip,
but the real object is junketing,
with strong suspicion of jobbery
annexed. There is no more neces-
sity for forty-four members of Con-
gress to go to the Hawaiian Islands
than there would be for them to
pay visit of inspection to the
Washington monument. They can
learn more about Hawaii by staying
in Washington than they could by
going to Honolulu. If individual
members want to take such trip,
let them do so at their own ex-
pense, and not at the expense of
the national treasury.
If this trip be meant to further
the scheme of annexation it may
be set down as a certainty that
there is some jobbery about it
somewhere. The annexation of
the islands to the United States
would give matters there tremen-
dous impetus, and it would be a
very nice thing for these forty-four
Senators and Representatives to be
able to get in on the ground floor,
especially in the present depressed
condition of values in Hawaii. A
solid phalanx of thirty in the
House and fourteen in the Senate
would go long way toward pass
ing a bill for annexation, especi-
ally if their pecuniary interest lay
in that direction.
If Congress wants to keep its
skirts clear of scandal it would
better frown upon this proposed
trip and refuse its consent to any
thing of the kind. 1t is very ex-
pensive and absolutely unneces-
sary, and will be certain to result
in the suspicion of corrupt bar
gain, if nothing more. = rs. F.

PURCHASING DRUGS AND
TOILETS ARTICLES BY MAIL.

How to reach our remote Island friends,
whom we have not had the pleasure of bust
ness dealings. has at last been solved, and
we have hit upon novel plan.
Aware of the difficulties of travel between
the Islands, and expense of a journey to Ho-
nolulu to purchase goods, we have adopted
a new method that does not require any
thing but writing to us. We attend to the
rest.
For the asking we nail you our
new four-page circular which i'm
parts full information about this
new idea. We make six offers, COM
prising in all thirty six articles, for
the toilet, household, medicine
chest, kitchen, and stable Every
one of them useful, every day arti-
cies. The prices of the assortments
range from S1SOto $3.50.
After receiving the goods you are not salts
he'd, return them at once and we will refund
your money and defray all freight charges
The goods we are offering are strictly first
class and will bear the closest inspection.
Our stock is kept constantly moving; we
have fresh goods arrive by every steamer;
we have no old stock to palm off, hence YOU
will receive fresh goods.
We do not ask that you should assume
the least risk.
You will find it decidedly to your interests
to look into our proposition thoughtfulIy.
All inquiries will be cheerfully answered,
and prices quoted when desired.
a Drop us line for the circular; your
order will come later.

"out of joint" with the president, because
the latter has disregarded their wishes,
and it will take but little to cause a revo.
luton against the presidents personal
appointments. Senators are very 10th
to acknowledge that there are any differ
ences between them and their party pres
ident, and are always anxious to stand
in favor with the administration but in
private they show their feelings. This
was true to a certain extent among the
republicans a year ago and President
Harrison met with some opposition both
in and out of the senate; but the feeling
against the republican president was not
a simple taste of what there is now
against President Cleveland upon the
part of his party then in the upper
branch of congress.
