A Cnse of BetraynI.

ELWOOD, May 14-Special-A sensa-
tional case developed in this city this
morning. Miss Maud Jones of Zanes-
vile, o., arrived in the city yesterday
and at once swore out warrants for the
arrest Of John Moran, a prominent glass
worker Of Frankton. The papers were
served and Moran arrested and brought
here to answer to the charge of betrayal.
1t seems that Moran once worked at
GAINESVILLE last fall, and while there,
under promise of marriage, he accom-
plished her ruin. He acknowledges the
accusation and is anxious to marry the
girl. They are in a quandary, however,
as neither one has any money and will
probably have to take up collection TO
secure the necessary papers.

Operations in the SLOGAN.

Mining operations in SLOGAN dis
trict are fairly booming, consider
ing that but few of the mines are
in the hands of men with large
capital and the cost of getting the
ore to steamboat landing so great.
The SLOGAN Star has had to quit
hauling ore, as the ore house at
Three Forks is chuck full. The
Almo is working eight men and is
ready to make a shipment of ore.
Work has started up on the Queen
Bess, and the Freddie Lee people,
no longer afraid of snow slides, will
resume work at once. S. S. Bailey
has completed rawhide road from
the Paine group to Three Forks,
and has let a contract to haul ore
on through to Kaslo. Other regu-
lar producers, like the Washington,
Noble Five, Mountain Chief, are
making their regular shipments.
Over 200 head of stock are used in
rawhiding and teaming ore between
the mines and Kaslo.- Jelson

News from Cripple Creek.

The Cripple Greek, Colorado,
gold excitement is rapidly spread
ing, says the Anaconda Standard,
but adds that the reports that have
reached Montana FROM the new Ell
dorado are not of the most flatter-
ing kind. Tom Kirwin, a Butte
man, who a few months ago joined
the stampede to the newly discov-
cred gold fields, writes that the
camp is rapidly filling up with
men from every section of the
country, the majority Of whom are
just about strapped when they
land. They say there are six eight
horse Concord stage coaches and
twelve hacks plying daily between
the camp and the nearest railroad
station, and that every incoming
vehickle is loaded to the guard with
excited RAINBOW chasers."
?. w. Mcdonnell, Of Livingston,
who went to the Colorado gold dig
gings three weeks ago, writes back
as follows:
81 left Denver for Cripple Greek,
via the Midland railroad, and only
had to stage it eight miles. There
is no snow here at present, and the
travel over the stage road is so
great that the dust is about six
inches deep. The camp is 5000
feet above sea level. There are six
towns in the district, but of course
Cripple Greek is the largest one,
and has population of 10000
souls. Men are arriving here at
the rate Of $50 per day, so you can
imagine how. many broken people
are in the camp. | think that by

1t will be remembered that the
HERALD recently announced that it
was the intention of the Great Nor
thern to operate a line af boats on
the Kootenai this year. Our infor-
nation came direct from headquar-
ters and was believed at the time
to be correct. The following, taken
from the Kaslo Examiner of last
week, seems to confirm what we
stated then and also indicates that
the railway company is on the m ove
now so as to be ready early in the
season for business:
Mr.. @. H. Weeks, western freight
agent for the Great Northern rail
way, was in Kaslo the first of this
week, looking the situation over and
endeavoring to ascertain some plan
for getting the major portion of the
transportation of Kaslo-Slocan ores.
Mr.. Weeks principal BUSINESS here
this trip was to see Mr.. Alexander,
who is at present the owner of the
wrecked steamer State of Idaho, but
unfortunately Mr.. Alexander was
away.
1t is understood that the Great
Northern still claim an interest in
the steamer and that if some AMIGA
bic arrangements cannot be made
one and perhaps two new steamers
will be constructed at Bonner's Fer
ny. The Great Northern people are
evidently determined to get large
share of the ore traffic from this
place and can easily afford to build
a steamer or two to make connec-
tons with their railway line.
