A Lively Ocean Race With Death
Ever Near
Story Of Captain Hansford Who lCommaneed
A Ship Carrying Cargo Valued
at S4,ooo,ooo

San Francisco Feb, 22,-Captain f. j.
Hansford was one of the cabin passengers
on the steamer Gaelic, which arrived from
Hongkong via Yokohama and Honolulu
tonight. He is returning to England
after long voyage from Hamburg to the
japanese naval station at Yokuska, near
Yokohama, during which his vessel was
chased by Chinese torpedo boats, cruising
to intercept the vessel and either capture
or sink her.
He was in command of the steamer
Metapeda, fast English-built steamer
and one chosen for her speed, so that in a
case of emergency she would be able to
show her heels to any vessel that at
tempted to overhaul her. The Metapeda
took on her cargo in Hamburg, and when
the matches were sealed down she had
about 81, 900, 900 worth of war material in
her hold. -
While the Metapeda was taking in b
load another steamer, also of Eng
build and called the Guy Manneringl
taking in a cargo at a wharf near tt
which the Metapeda was loading.
also of war material and her desti W.
was supposed to be secret but
generally understood that the stean,.
bound for Chinese port. The two Sc
ers started about the same time,
when the Gaelic left Hongkong the
ond one had arrived there with her cal
and was discharging and sending the M
teral overland to it's destination.
Captain Hansford, according to the
stories of the passengers had an eventful
voyage until the Chinese torpedo boats
were sighted. 1t was off Formosa when
the vessels OF the Chinese fleet were try
ing to intercept him, and the speed OF
his vessel was exerted to its utmost.
There were only three of the torpedo
boats and they were all flying the japanese
flags so profusely that the Captain OF the
blockade runner became suspicious at once
and headed to sea- The Metapeda set the
pace for an ocean race. 1t was late in the
afternoon when the contest of speed began,
and when darkness set in the steamer
with the contraband cargo began to veer
around in a large circle towards his
course. At daylight nothing was to be
seen of the torpedo boats, and few
days later she was safely in the harbor OF
the Japanese naval station.
The Japanese government purchased the
steamer the day after she arrived, and
paid a good price over her original cost.
The crew OF the vessel was handsomely
rewarded, and the Captain was made
present of S250o by the Japanese govern
ment for successfully delivering the cargo.
Captain Hansford has won a reputation
as a blockade runner. During the recent
Chilean troubles he landed a cargo OF arms
and munitions of war on the coast of the
South American republic; but his most
daring work was during the revolution in
Brazil, few years ago, when he ran IA
steamer loaded with war material up the
Amazon river and almost under the noses
OF the revolutionists' fleet stationed along
the coast to intercept him.

From the News:
w. E. Conway of Neihart is stopping
at the lower hotel, and taking the baths
for the benefit of his health.
Miss Curtis, Superintendent of schools
will hold an examination for applicants
for teat hers certificates on Nov. 18th.
Again we have to thank N. b. Smith
for a fine grouse donated to the News
office. If it wasn't for the law firm
across the street we should be reduced
to the necessity of eating spring poems.
We are informed by the treasurer that
considerable tax money has been already
paid in and that people are paying more
promptly than they have been in the
habit of doing for the past two years.
The law does not require that each AK
payer be notified separately and all
should bear in mind that taxes are de-
linquent after December 1st.
The Montana Railroad has been put
to a little inconvenience by having a re-
straining order served on it, prevent
ing it from running through the
Baker ranch in Gallatin county, but it
does not stop the work as the men and
teams are employed on each side of the
ranch. The injunction is only a temper
airy one and will probably be dissolved
as soon as arrangements are made to
pay damages to Mr.. Baker.
The well known sheep man, Geo. F.
Dancer, has completed a barn, which
should be a "thing Of beauty and a Joy
forever" to him. The new barn is
eighty feet long, twenty feet of which
will be used for storing hay and wagons
and sixty feet for the accommodation of
his horses and stock. Despite the hard
times Mr.. Dancer has made many i'm
provements Oh his fine ranch in the
past year, and has more in contempla-
ton for the future.
Mrs. Skowler and Mrs. Chamberlain
returned last evening from their trip to
Helena. Mrs. Skowler was ccom
MED by her sister Miss Silverman and by
Misses Cory and Reinig, of Helena.
Misses Silverman and Cory will remain
here for about a month or six weeks.
while Miss Rcinig will visit Mrs. Gaddis
of Fort Logan, coming to the Springs
for a brief visit before finally returning
to Helena. These young ladies will be
a great acquisition to our society, and
the young people should exert them
selves TO make their stay enjoyable.

LATEST FROM JAYVILLE,
Newest News From the New and
Promising Gold Camp.

The latest from the gold diggings is
most encouraging. Gam and Hazeltine
are drifting on the Poor Mar lead. They
are taking out ore from a 3 foot body
of mica schist, heavily charged with
white iron, which assays $3.50 per ton
in gold. The ore appears to be grow
ing richer as depth is attained.
1t is now ascertained that the gold
bearings ledge is 80 feet wide. Where
soft streaks occur it is no trouble at all
to pan out a few colors of fine gold, and
the boys know full well that they have a
bonanza.
When Jos. Wagner of Great Falls was
in camp last week he made a careful in
vestigation of the discovery. He was SO
well satisfied with the prospect that he
bought an interest from the locators and
desired the work of development to GO
on.
The tunnel will be driven on the ore
for a hundred. feet, in order to ascertain
its character and extent, when the own,
