THE HILLS COUNTRY BOOMING
Strikes of Rich Gold Mines of Daily Occur
rence-CoaI and Iron.

: fence-CoaI and Iron.
Custer City, S. D., Feb. 5.-Just now
greater interest is being taken in gold
mining than at any time before Ii the
history of the Black Hills. Strikes of
rich mines are of frequent occurrence.
New mills and reduction works are be-
ing erected and contracted for in almost
every mining district. Old mines that
have been abandoned and lain idle for
years are being reopened. In fact, a
general air OF prosperity teens to pre-
vail throughout the Hills and surround
ing country. Gold is not the only at
traction which is causing investors to
turn their eyes hillward. Mines of coal
and iron, deposits of gypsum, lime.
' neral Z ut, infusorial earth, building
stone, fire clay and tracts of timber and
petroleum lands are being inquired for.
English experts will soon examine a
mining property in the Hills. and If the
report made on Improperly by one of
the most distinguished experts in the
United States is confirmed IS, 600, 900
will be paid for the property within the
next ninety days, besides a large sum
will be expended in developing and
erecting reduction works.
1t is also stated by those who claim to
have inside information that the Har-
vey Peak Iron company will soon start
W again, and that his time it will pro-
duce tin This statement will be taken
by the American public with a broad
smile, but the men who now own and
have owned the majority of the really
good tin claims of the Black Hills have
never wavered In their faith that n
time their mines would produce the tin
used in the United States. These men
believe that had the manipulators of
the Harvey Peak Tin company honestly
tried to mine for tin the industry would
now be prosperous.

Made by Il. w. Young In Favor OF Thomas
a. Mcintyre.
New York, Feb. 5.-The largest
check ever drawn on IL bank was paid a
few days ago to Thomas A. Mcintyre
of Brooklyn. The check wa drawn
by G. w. Young, president of the
United States Mortgage company. and
was for $12,27s, $50.
During the last three years Mr.. Nc
Entyre has been orgaizing a company
to buy all the warehouses on the
Brooklyn water front. He was
finally successful. and the Brooklyn
Wharf and Warehouse company was
Incorporated. The company met last
week and subscribed to the shares, and
then, to pay tue various owners for
their properties, President Young
handed Mr.. Mcintyre what is likely to
be a famous check. The largest check
previously drawn was given in pay
ment for the controlling interest in the
American Union Telegraph company
by the late Jay Gould. and wa for
500 o 900. This check was lost, and
Mr.. Gould made n duplicate. The
Gould children have received hundreds

Philadelphia Times: There were not,
I believe, two such officers in the world
as Murat for the cavalry and Druot
for the artillery. Murat was a most
singular character. -Four and twenty
years ago, when he vas a captain, I
made him my aide-de-camp, and sub
sequently raised him to what he was.
He loved-I may rather say, adored-
me. In my presence he was, as it were,
struck with awe and ready to fall at
my feet. l acted wrong in having scpa-
rated him from me-, as without me he
was nothing. With me he was my
right arm. Order Murat to attack and
destroy 1000 or 5000 men In such a di.
rection, and 1t was done in a moment

NATIONAL LEAGUE SEASON..
Ball Playing Will Begin Thursday, Arr!l
18, This Year.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. al.-The Ma
tional league season of 1895 will open
on Thursday, April is, according to
the schedule which President Young
has prepared and will submit for APP
prevail to the next league meeting. In
spite of all efforts to keep the matter n
secret, the news leaked out. This will
be bad news to most ball players and
many managers who havo been kick
ing hard against such an early open
ing, claiming that it is impossible to
get through the latter part of April
without contracting colds and rheuma-
tlsm, to get rid of which it requires the
whole month of May. Many were the
prayers which went up nll over the
country this year to the throne of
Papa NICK, usking that the opening be
held a couple of weeks later, and some
time ago word vas sent out from the
east that the season would not open
until April %, at the earliest, ind pos
sibly not till May 2. The cold fact re-
mains that instead of opening later
than last year, one day earlier has been
selected-April 10 in 1894; April Is in
1895. 4.
Some additional facts about the
schedule just finished By Young have
escaped. Unless a mighty kick goes
up from some of the big clubs, who
think they arc getting the worst OF it,
the following schedule prepared for
the opening days will stand:
In the West-Chicago ut St. Louis,
Cleveland ut Cincinnati and pittsburg
at Louisville.
In the Eest-Brooklyn ut Boston.
Philadelphia ut Washington and Balti-
more Mt New York.
The Louisville assignment for the
Plttsburg club is somewhat of IL bitter
pill, MS both st. Louis and Pittsburg
have been pulling strong to have tho
Pirates open in the Mound City, but
they scarcely hope for two years i'll
succession. The Spiders going to Gin
cinnati is owing to the pull of Brush,
who for years has asked that Cleveland
be given him rs a drawing card.

WENT DOWN WITH HIS SHIP.
Captain Won Goesscl of .!:e Elbe Was
True aud Cool.

London, Jan. 31.-GrenhaHl, the Eng
lish pilot OF the Elbe, makes the fol-
lowing statements. "When L came on
deck with some Of the passengers Cap
tain Won Goessel vas in charge. The
first order given was to swing the boats
out but o to lower them until further
orders. The next order was for every
body to come on deck and for the men,
bers of the crew to go to their stations.
Then followed the order for the women
and children to go to the starboard
boats. in which it was proposed to
save them. The first of these orders
We're given by Captain Won GoeS:al and
repeated by Chief officer Wilhelms.
The captain was on the bridge m l
The next order which heard
given was to lower the
boats. There was no confusion what
ever, nor was there any panic. Every
order was executed With the greatest
calmness and promptness. at the time
of the collision there was a high sea
running and a strong wind was blow
ing from the east southeast. 1t was
bitterly cold. The lanyards and boat
grips and falls We're frozen and the
lStiSaIus securing the ldllS Uau 10 bc
chopped in order to save them; but
that would have been done in any cas-
in the event OF a collision. The Elbc
went down about two minutes after we
left her side"
The explanation given b. the surviv-
ing officers of the Elbe as to the pro-
portion of the crew saved to the num-
Der of passengers saved is that the fol-
lowing orders We're given by the Off
GERS of the Elbe: The children were
to be saved first and then the women
and they were to be placed In the boats
on the s%tarboard side, where the
women and children were to gather.
But almost Immediately after these or
ders d been obeyed the Elbe listed
heavily to starboard and the sea swept
up to the promenade deck so the star
board boats We're rendered useless.
The second officer of the steamer
Crathie says that Immediately after the
collision the ship struck by the Crathie
burned blue and red lights. Similar
signals We're returned by the Crathie,
his belief being that no assistance was
required on each side.

The newly elected president of the
French republic has already made the
disconcerting discovery h a the func-
tions of the office which he has assumed
are much more difficult to discharge
han the casual spectator might mag
inc. They are rendered difficult by the
essential vice Of the French constitu-
tional system, which makes the chief
executive dependent upon the legisla-
ture, and so places him at the mercy
of the whims, caprices and resentments
of a chamber whose membership is d.
vided into warning factions. Whose.
course it is impossible to forecast, and
upon whose support for any protracted
period it is never safe to count. The
president must carry on his admins
trative, functions through the medium
of a ministry, and as this ministry IL
subject to be forced into retirement at
any time by an adverse vote In the
chamber of deputies, il follows that
the executive has no real authority,
and can only exercise his functions by
legislative sufferance. This would be
bad enough il the chamber had any
real solidarity, if it were controlled by
two parties of nearly equal strength.
Under existing conditions. with halt a
dozen cliques striving for control, and
the most homogeneous combinations
constantly being made, it must be well
nigh intolerable. 1t must be especially
harassing to President Faure, for he is
in the embarrassing position of owing
a divided allegiance. His election was
effected by a coalition, made for the
purpose Of preventing, at any sacrifice.
the threatening success of the social
lists and radicals.
