A special to the Anaconda Standard
from Great Falls contains the follow
ing: The alleged discovery OF the
famous Kies gold mine, adjacent to
Glasgow, has caused no little excite
ment among the old residents of this
section and within the next week nu-
merous outfits from this locality will
visit the supposed new Ell Dorado.
In discussing the recent discovery with
Standard reporter last evening, an
old-timer said:
"Kies was well known character
in Montana in early territorial days
thirty odd years ago. He WAS a
hunter, trapper, miner and prospector
and could talk Indian like a native,
having many friends among the differ
ent tribes. After an absence of sew
eral weeks-along in the 6O's-he ap-
peared at Benton with a large buck
skin sack of gold dust. The closest
inquiry on the part OF hegeneral pub
lie failed to illicit the source of his
sudden wealth and he grew angry
when closely pressed regarding the
matter. He tried to interest John ]
Healy and John Lepley, old friends.
in his discovery, but the former was
trading with the Indians, and the lat
ter-now one of the largest stockgrow-
ers in northern Montana-was max.
ing S12 day in mines at Silver City,
and both refused to Join him.
"a few weeks after Kies and two
friends, accompanied by several
squaws, started down the Missouri
river on an improvised raft with sew.
eral months provisions. When near
the mouth of the MusseIshell Kies was
signaled to land by n war party ol
Sioux Indians, who made signs ol
peace. Against the earnest protest o
the squaws Kies pulled to the shore
and the three men were butchered and
the squaws made captives by the
cowardly and treacherous enemy
Thus the secret of the location of the
mines was buried with Kies. Since
that time prospectors galore have
sought the mines without avail.

discoverer, has been in search of tn,
spot a long time and has spent ter

to secure information that would
assist him in his search.
"Some eight or ten years ago Alex
ander saved the life OF favorite chile
of Two Medicines, an important Siou,
chief, and claimed as his reward tn,
secret of the mine. At first the chic
refused his request, but finally told
him to return to the white men and
secure lumber, provisions and wagons
and with the disappearance of the
snow he would be taken to the gold
fields discovered by the unfortunate
Kies. Alexander sought civilization

principally in Java and Sumatra. These

They look something like white ism

OF obtaining the meets is attended with
a good deal of danger, as the

Kate Fields Washington: Once upon
time there were three fools, a great
big fool, and middle-sized fool, and a
tiny little bit OF a fool. These three
were women contemplating marriage
with men whose paths were crooked.
The woman who was little bit OF a
fool married a man who drank. Her
friends warned her, naturally, and the
general public prophesied, but she
risked it. Then began the official pro.
grsmme-cheerful home. good meals,
fragrant coffee, bright open fires; after
that there was gold cure, and in the
end he was reclaimed. He was, really,
Moreover, he stayed so.
The middle-sized fool married man
whose taste was not so much for wine
as for women and song. He liked them
beat as combined in light opera. 1t re-
quires women of great sweetness of tenn
per and infinite tact to manage a man of
this kind; but she did il. and in time he,
too, reformed. The road was g wesry
one Tor her, however.
But the great big fool married a man
who was gambler. He was foreign

Every reasonable. thinking man must
deprecate any attempt at riot or insur-
rection on the part of the strikers. Such
attempts must necessarily be resisted
by those in authority-ths right of self
preservation being as inalienable in the
government as in the individual.
Besides being unpatriotic, such &C.
tions, to take the French etatesman's
view. are worse than crimes-they are
plumbers" Much sympathy for the
cause OF the strikers has already been
alienated by suoh attempts. The rail-
roads and their baokers are fully alive to
this TACT and have done their best to ex
aggerate the accounts OF them, and, per-
haps, even taken means to foment them.

MIR. Bierce ia especially incensed
against the 'eympsthetic strike" which
he styles "the sum of all impudent ras-
cality"
Evidently Mr.. Bierce is no altruist.
He, like many men of lesser minds, can
see no honest purpose In any undertake

The uHelfsh defense of the weak

touch OF sublimity in it, after all?
Here we have the spectacle OF a large
body of men, with no grievance of their
own. tiinging away their chance Of sup
port in order 10 uphold what they con-
slider the just claims of others, whose in
terests are in no way connected with
theirs, except as mem ers of a common
humanity.
Has Mr.. Bierce all at once become
content to look with compacency on the
existing condition of the body polite,
that he is 30 moved to wrath at any at

the walls OF whose wrath were wont
to be poured upon the devoted heads OF
the makers of bad laws or the NAL .ad-

True, Mr.. Bierce says thst the right

Two Innovations That Have Apparently

Two Innovations That Have Apparently
Come to Stay.
New York Sun: s'There are two new
things in the theatrical line," said an
old New York manager. land most Of
the people who are interested in theaters
will watch their development with con-
siderable interest. The first of these is
the continuous performance idea.
The general theory of this style
derstood by the public, end thea-
tiers giving continuous performance
are established in half dozen different
cities. The variety shows go on from IL
O'Clock in the morning until IL at night
without intermission, and the dimes
and quarters are picked up by the man
agemsnt during the whole OF this time.
The theaters are never filed, but the
visitors continually dropping in make a
eepsctable total at the end of the day.
The newer idea of the two is called
The Passing show. This entertainment
was not original with Sydney Rosenield
or the Lambs club, or any other Ameri.
can or American institution. For half a
century the Pazisians have given what
they call revue at the end of the
VAyoII1Cai eohsous III WHICH Gil the SEN
sational and talked-about performances
and acts are carioatured and bur
lesqued. The Passing Show is
exactly like the French revue
except that it has been Amer.
icanized. 1t was originally intended to
run it for few weeks as q burlesoue.
Now the intention ia to run The Passing
show all the year round, and to bur
lesqus things as they come up. The
management have introduced variety
actors, sensational dancers and all the
other elements of frst.class variety
show, and it evident that this new style
OF entertainment has come to atay.O
