LARG EST EVER SEEN.

A Shipment of Gold Dust Valued at
About S64 900.
The largest lot Of gold dust ever brought
to Helena in one shipment was that received
by the American National Bank from
Alaska. The dust was contained in thir-
teen sacks. As weighed in the racks 1t
tipped the beam at 3 1915 ounces. At the
assay office here, where all the dust waa
poured into one large scale, il weighed
3,17O.31 ounces. 1t was all coarse gold,
containing many nuggets of from few
pennyweights to nearly half an ounce. Cast
into one bar It would have made more
solid gold than has been seen in Helena
since the celebrated bar cast for the
Worlds Fair.
None of the furnaces now in use at the
assay office are capable of holding crucible
big enough to melt tue entire shipment In.
Besides, the nint at Philadelphia, to which
the gold bars are shipped from the assay
office here, does not like them SO heavy.
So the gold was poured Into three bars,
two of 1O.O85.76 ounces each and the
other OF .O3s.s 81 ounces. 1t was very
fine gold, all OF it, running rs high as SIT
an ounce. The value Of the three bars is
estimated to be about $64 600. The bars
will probably be put on exhibition in one
of the windows of the American National
Bank before being sent East. Many people
went to the assay office yesterday to see
them.
This gold was the first shipment OF the
spring from the mines of Miller Creek,
Fort Cudahy, Stewart River, Kelly River,
and other country in the vicinity Of the
Yukon. 1t was gathered and shipped by the
North American Transportation and Trad
ing Company. OF which John j. Healy,
one OF the best known pioneers Of Mon
tana, is the manager. This company owns

The origin of the trouble between the

SHOULDER STRAPPEDBRUTE
Signal Service Men Give Lieut..
Birkhimer a Bad Reputation.
Many Instances Brought Up In the
Effort to Secure Clemency for
Convicted Private Gill.

The petition now being circulated ask
martial which tried Private Gill, soldier
at the Washington Barracks, who was
charged with assa6ltihg Lieut. -Birkhimer
carries with 1t the nanles Of some Of the
most prominent business men of this city.
The charges against Lieut.. Birkhimer.
as told in to-day's Morning Times, are
varied, and indicate that hts conduct to
the enlisted men Of the Signal Service with
whom he was brought Into contact were
not only unsentlenianly but verged on bu-
taIity. Several instances are cited where
the lieutenant, acting as inspector OF tele-
graph lines in Virginia and North Carolina
showed his contempt for enlisted Inen by
refusing to eat with them ut the same
table. and when he was forced to submit
showed plainly his disgust and afterwards
notified the enlisted men that they would
have to procure meals from some place other
than the one he was patronixing.
Other instances Of the martinez tenden-
oies of the lieutenant are given and In
every case the statements make him man
whose feelings towards private soldiers
of the army are those OF the greatest
disgust.
The characters Of some of the petitioners
are such that the President cannot do other
wise than to cause the Secretary of War
to make a thorough Investigation into the
matter. ana no doubt upon the return of
Secretary Lamont the actions OF Lieut. Birk-
hinier will be looked into
Charge is also made by the petitioners
that the character OF the testimony before
the court did not warrant SO long q term
Of imprisonment.
Lieut.. Birkhimer declines to express
himself in regard to the anticipated In
but the men at the Arsenal
are loud against the conviction, as they
clalm he was found guilty on unsupported
evidence. The fact OF Lieut.. Cree, of
battery, being detailed as
Giii's counsel and advised him to plead
guilty, gives the trial the appearance OF
before any testimony was
