Litigation Commenced in Montana Which
Is Costing Is 900 n Day.

Helena, Mont, special: What will very
likely turn out to be the most important
mining suit ever brought In the United
States is now on trial In the United States
Court here. 1t involves IL question that
las never yet been settled IN the courts
and which is disputed one under the
mining laws. The question Is whether the
lrst discover OF n mineral vcin, the apex OF
which Is on his cluim. is Q ntitled to all the
,re found within the walls OF thar vein, no
matter whether it stays within the walls
,f that claim as it decpens or goes outside.
The ST. EOuis Mining CoTpnny uf Slnys--
sille is the plaintiff In the suit and the
Montana Company limited, Is the defend
ant. The Montana Company owns the
celebrated Drum Lummon Mine. which was
discovered by Thomas Cruise. q poor miner.
and sold to an English syndicate 70 sl,0oo,-
100 Cruise had worked on the great COM
btock Lode In Nevada.
WThsE he went regging around the dirt at
Marysvillc evesy2ody there was looking for
so!d. Cruise saw indications whhch led him
10 believe that underground wOuId hs
!o1nd vein very much like the Constock.
30 he located the Drum Lummon, developed
IL, and then sold out to the English and
with the proceeds started n bank. The
Drum Lumnon property has since been
enlarged by the addition of other claims,
and it is today probably the greatest silver
producer on earth. Alongside the Drum
Lummon property is the st. Louis, belong
Ing TO William Mayger OF Marysville, his
brother and few st. Louis people. The
st. Louis is prior location to the Drum
Lummon The claim Of the st. Louis peo-
pie In the pending suit is that the walls OF
lheir vein are very near to the line divid-
Ing their property from the Drum Lummon.
The vein, as it gets down, inclines in the
direction OF the Drum Lummon property,
they say. Tie latter company, 1t Is con-
tended, whilo keeping within their own
ines. have still taken millions of dollars
worth OF ore fioni the st. Louis vein.
Hence tho s.. Loris people want matter
,f S2,5oG, 900 damages. The expense to
both sides is not less than $4,000 day
Tho trial is already eighteen days old. and
is Just about beginning. Mining men say
the result will be worth the expense, In "A
general way, on account Of the question
Involved.

FACTORY GIRL CRAZED by FRIGHT.
Her Fellow Employees Perpetrate u Very
Serious. Practical ,IOke.

Serious. Practical Joke.
Bridgeport, Conn special: Only a few
weeks ago the girl employees of the cartridge
factory in spirit of jealousy and fun.
rolled Mary Luther In barrel. They dis
liked her '.stuck up ways, and she was
so frightened that at one time it was feared
she would die. The girls in the factory
were alarmed, but they soon got over it
hunted for Il new victim. They found one
In Mary Lynch. They purchased toy
snake made of paper. 1t was three feet
long and looked like n live snake. The
snake was SO arranged that 1t appeared to
be moving. long piece OF thread had
b en- attached to the snake, which was
then placed back OF the machine at which
Mary Lynch was working. The thread was
brought over and attached to the shafting
of another machine. All this had been ar
ranged at noon time. when the machinery
was still When the wheels were again in
motion the girls who were let into the Sc
cret gathered about TO witness the result
Of their work. The thread on the shufting
wound around and around, and soon up
through the machinery Of the press at
which Mary Lynch was working came u
long green snake. with its mouth open.
The girl did not see 1T until the head ap-
peared in full view. With cry she jumped
from her seat. Not content with this, one
OF the girls snatched the snake from the
thread and st lrted after Miss Lynch. From
room to room the chase was carried until
:he Lynch girl dropped from exhaustion
and fright. The joke was more than the
perpetrators had bargained for. The
frightened girl was crazed and was con-
Gned to her bed. Physicians are endeavor-
Ing to bring her back to reason. She will
probably recover, but the physicians say
ber escape will be narrow.

gers houses were torn completely from the
joists, and walls, windows, and doors were
blown into the yard. Costly furniture,
pianos, pictures, books, carpets, and rich
draperies were thrown in confused mass
into the cellars OF all the houses, and the
fact that all the occupants we're sleeping
on the second floors is ull that can account
for their escape from death At Rosenber-

In His Name

The phase" man witnessed a pretty
little incident at the corner OF Temple
Place and Washington street the other
day, illustrative of the law OF loving kind
ness which rules some natures.
That is always a busy corner. There
was 8 little group Of psOple waiting, as
there usually is, for an opportunity TO
safely run the gaRtlet Of teams and
street cars. The voice of 8 gentleman
one whose life had evidently been spent
amid refining induences-was heard
above the din by those standing there.
II suppose there is q policeman az
this corner TO assist people TO cross?'
"Oh, yes; there generally is"
The reply came from an average wo-
a who was herself waiting for an
opening in the wall of vehicles. She
had not looked up, apparently, into the
face Of the gentleman.
But at my elbow there stood a woman
Of a different type. An air OF refine
meut chung 10 her gown, her hat, and
everything in evidence spoke the re-
fined lady. She was an ObSeryant wo-
man, aud had at once discovered what
I and the average woman had failed TO
see.
MAY I assist you, sir?" in the sweet
est voice imaginable.
Thank you, madam, l will accept
your offer. I am nearly blind"
With the grace Of q Chesterfield he
offered his arm to the lady and in a
minute be was safely across and express
ing his thanks 10 the kind unknown,
who st that moment transferred her
charge to the care OF officer Felt, that
large bodied and kind hearted officer,
who finds constant employment ct that
busy corner.
How many women would have done
that?' l mused as I went away. She
suffered no loss Of dignity by that
thoughtful llttls act to q strahger, and
did not foolishly hesitate and ASK her
self: what will people say?' Il was
