BOOMING SOUTH AFRICA.
A Representative of That Country Gives
Il Glowing Account.

Il Glowing Account.
There has been in this region for sew
eral days investigating Montana's min
ing resource, distinguished gentleman
from far-away Africa, according to the
Independent. His name is M. Villiers
and he comes from Pretoria, Transyaal,
South Africa. He tells a story that
would send miner out of his mind.
Transvaal is a little republic in South
Africa, inhabited by Beers, which Eng
land IN 1880 fought for but was driven
off. Three years before the war broke
out England had established a protec-
torate over the country. In 1880 a citi-
zen refused to pay his taxes, and was ar
rested. Public opinion sided with the
debtor and he was released from prison.
Then began an agitation for independ-
ence. The republic was founded in
1881. At that time, says M. de Villiers,
there were eight houses in Johannes
berg, where gold mines we're discovered.
To-day there $4,000 inhabitants. The
city is lighted with electricity. has cleo
cars, system of waterworks equal to
any IN this country, and class of stores
and houses superior to any city of its
size in America. The mines are enor-
mously richsi gold, so 4e says. During
the month of July $4,000 ounces of pure
gold was taken out of one mine alone.
"At present. says M. de Villiers, "we
have population of 10000 whites and
100000 blacks, but within ten years we
will have a population of 100000
whites. We haye three fine railways. I
am on my Way to the worlds fair to get
pointers which I trust may be of service
to my people when I return. Our gov
ernmet is much the same as that of
the United States.
There is no limit to our gold; my opin-
ion Is that the yellow stuff will become
so plentiful in a few years that it will
become the cheaper metal again, and
your American bondbuyers will again be
glad to buy silver at premium as they
did once before. The cry has gone up
among the nations for gold. The Amer
leans who have been chasing every dol
Jar and making every cent a prisoner
during the last century are at present
engaged in death struggle for gold.
Oriental countries have caught the fever,
and all eyes are stralning for new Ell
dorado. California forty years ago was
sought as the promised land, but of re-
cent years it has been neglected. And
now, just while the financial world is
squirming, rich, yellow gold, great
ledges, ridges and h1llocks present them
selves and await the grasping hand of the
miner"
M. deVilliers gives much more glow
ing account of that country than the
miners who hove gone out there from
this region. But the visitor protests
that he has told the simple truth here
and IS not a bit particular whether any
one believes it or not.

A Fortunate Philipsbureer.

j. E. Mackey, of Deer Lodge county,
was in Helena last week, and exhibited
a big handful of nuggets, running in
gregating over $7OO. The collection was
a beautiful one, and came from the gen.
tlemans placers in Jefferson gulch,
known as the "Sprankle Patent" These
grounds have been worked since 1864,
and when Mr.. Mackey purchased them a
failure was predicted. The grounds are
valuable, and their proprietor, who is an
old-time quartz miner, is to be congrat-
ulated upon his success. Montana

In the Cnur d'Alene.

Reports Of the condition of affairs in
the Cceur d'Alenes have b cen so numer-
GUS of late that Mr.. II. S. Somervllle, who
has some interests down there, wrote to
a friend who is at Wallace to find out
the true condition. His friend replied
that the Poorman had started up with
so to 60 men, and the Standard with 40
men, all receiving union wages. The
letter further states that no other work
ls at present under way, but there is
every reason to believe that Finch &
Esler will soon make an attempt to
start their works with "scab" crew.

Protection Against Snakes.

Once more Sir Joseph Fayrer has urged
upon the government of India the expedi-
ency of circulating among the people of In
dia information which would enable them
to take better precaution against snake
bites and the attacks of wild beasts. More
than IA years ago he provided the govern
ment with pictures of the most destructive
of snakes and he thinks that if copies Of
these were struck off and widely distrib-
uted people could not fail to recognize the
poisonous species and destroy them.

First Reports Of the Storm.

condensed from the Associated Pfe.s
dispatches:
The most destructive storm ex.

first landing of the whites, began
early Monday morning, and ragged

The storm visited the entire north.

spread far inland as New Orleans and
n line drawn 100 miles north of th+
coast from Texas to Florids. Tn.
loss oflite is appalling, and tho dam
age in New Orleans, Mobile and Pen.

ard south OF these points is enormous
Survivors from the fishing boats

tidal waves ut various points viii. b
penetrated far inland, destr, ,ine
houses, barns, sugar mills and every>
thing before them, and drowning peo.
pie by hundreds.
Every thing in the course of the
storm was wrecked. and the few sur.
vivors are without food, shelter or
clothing.
It will be some time, il ever, before
the damage and loss of lie caused b,
the storm are known. But the fstali.
ties will exceed 1000 AID may reach
1000. while $4,000, 900 will not cover
the damages slre 4dy asoe rtained.
The region devastated was one OF
the richest in the South, and Plaques

orange parishes.
The nnfortunste. who were only
mortally woun led in the storm suf
Tered untold sgonies. At first they
endeavored to cheer up, and try to
live; but the absence Of all medical
assistance and the lack of fresh water,
even. or OF anything to quench thirs,
or satisfy the panes of hunger, in-
duced them to give up all hope aud
lay down and die.

Where Do You Garry Your Cash?
From the St, Lois Globe.l

I can remember the time when nearly
every msn carried his ready cash in a
pocket-bo k, the old-fashioned ones that
rolled un dominating. But now, not
one in 500 men carry a regular recepr-
able for money. A little card-case is gen
orally placed in the inside vest pocket,
and sometimes you will see men ut
large bills in these, but most men carry
their money in some of their pockets.
Now you can tell a man Of sporting pro-
clivities just as soon as he takes out his
money. He carries it in a roll in tn left
hand PICKET OF his trousers, and every
time he spends dime will fl .sh this
roll. S. me men put tn ir money in their
hip pockes, in lieu of gun; others in
the vest potkrs, but most men carry
their cash in the little fob in the waist
band of their trousers. | have known
cautious men to place money in different
pockets to avoid being cleaned out should
the light fingered g-ntry connect with
them. However. the man who carries a
real, bona ije p"cket-book, as Of old, is
considered eccentric these days.

Electric Battery in His Mouth.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch

Not long agoa Pi tsburger had one Of
his back teeth fl led with amalgsm-
that composition fl ling that is SO larg ly
employ ed on account of the facility with
which it can be used. While in New
York the other day the too h above the
one that had been repaired began to ache
terribly, so that the gentleman was
forced to 60 to dentist in hat city. To
economize time the dentist fillrd this
with amalgam also, and the PiLtshurger
started for his hotel. On his way he nc
ticed that every time his teeth cl sed he
received sort of an electric shock This
increased in intensity until, when he ar
rived at the hotel, the sensation became
ABSOLUTELY painful, He r;sess-oack 80
the office of the dentist. The doctor had
good laugh when he found that when
the metal used in his amnlgam and that
used by the Pittsburg dentist came to-
gether they formed magnetic current.
The patient object. d to having a battery
IN his head, SO another kind If filling
was substituted.

Sixteen Time. Married.

OF all the extraordinary stories Of female
adventuresses, the account of the career of
Golden Hand" a Russian woman recently
condemned to Siberia for life, reads mos
like an effort Of fiction.
Remarkably attractive and good looking,
and speaking fluently Russian, Roumanian,
German, French and English, she had been
married 16 times and in turn ran away
from each Of her husbands, carrying off
everything upon which she could lay her
hands.
Once before she was condemned to ST.
IBERIA, but had not been there long before
the chief overseer fell victim to her wiles
married her and went Off to Constantine
pie. But after few months his wife bolt
ed and soon after was recognized in Mos
COW by police official, who proceeded to
arrest her.
In response to her urgent pleadings, how
ever, he delayed marching her off upon the
spot, and, like the rest, speedily succumbed
to her destinations, with the result that the
woman again escaped and lived some two
years in Russia unmolested.
But her sixteenth husband, after she had
made off with the bulk of his worldly pos.
sessions, finding out who she really was,
speedily landed her In Jail, where the law.
yer intrusted with her defense had an op.
portunity of appreciating her skill as a
pickpocket. When he went to see her in
hez cell, she presented him with gold
watch and chain as token of her gratitude
for his efforts in her cause. Feeling in his
