The mining world has at last come
to the conclusion that the science OF
mining, both practical. theoretical
and neurological is not as successful
as has been contended. Dana is the
only authority of scientific reference,
while the old prospector contends
that mineral, especially gold, is where
you find it. The prospector's views
of the present situation comes about
as near to it on basis ofluck, backed
by experience, as any. Thediscoveries
of gold reefs throughout this country
is new feature in mining, and not
until four years ago was there any
practical credence given to this par
ticular formation carrying the yellow
metal. This fact was developed in
the American Nettie mines near Quray,
Colorado. Now comes the renewal OF
activity in the Leadville district by
the discovery OF gold reef there, that
for many years has been walked over
as a territory virtually barren. Inside
of two weeks the population of the
city of Leadville was increased 6,OOO
by these wonderful discoveries and
there seems to be no end to the new
territory. The Australian gold reefs
demonstrates another instance.
Montana is yet to be heard from in
this special class of mining discoveries
and the field offers double advantage
over that of Colorado. 1t is some
thing new in the annals of the mining
business, and a feature with which the
prospector is unacquainted. The
prospecting done during the past
season in this state has been of a very
encouraging nature, and it is safe to
predict that next season Montana
will have her gold reefs, and they will
be of remarkable richness in gold when
once opened.-Montana Mining Re-

Gay Has Friends.

LIVINGSTON, Dec. 31.-William Gay,
the Castledesperado, who was recently
captured in California and brought
back to Montana and lodged in the
White Sulphur Springs Jail, to await
trial for murder before Judge Frank
Henry OF this city, whose jurisdiction
takes in Park and Meagher counties,
has evidently number of friends in
and around Needles, CAL, who are
very solicitous about his welfare and
fearful that he will either be given "a
short shift and a sure cord by the
people of White Sulphur Springs, or
else he will fail to be fairly tried by
jury composed of Meagher county citi-
zens should he escape summary pun
ishment at the hands of a mob.
Judge Henry received a letter to-day
from Needles containing the following
petition signed by 81 residents of
that place:
The undersigned most respectfully
pray your honor to grant William
Gay a change of venue to some other
county. Many ofyour petitioners have
known Gay personally for years.
He was one OF the early pioneers and
discoverers of Deadwood gulch in the
Black Hills. He was always q poor
mans friend and gave away fortune
to help others. He did great deal
to open the Black Hills for settlement
and always bore a good reputation.
Therefore the undersigned pray your
honor that William Gay be given
fair show for his life and liberty.

STRONG Is MAYOR
OF New York city-ailroy Says He Is Out Of
Politics.

New YORK, Jan. 2.-For the first
time in twenty years mayor not OF
the Democratic faith is at the head of
the city government. William L..
Strong, who was yesterday inducted
into office, represents very much the
same conditions and social elements
that asserted themselves in 1872 in
the elevation of William f. Havemeir
to the mayorality. In both instances
there was a revolt against municipal
corruption. Upon both occasions
public sentiment was crystalized
through the medium of the committee
of seventy, the main purpose in 1872
being to overthrow the Tweed regime
and in 1894 to correct the abuses
known or suspected to exist in police
and other departments of the city
government. Shortly before noon
the outgoing and incoming mayors
met in the city hall. After the usual
formalities and introduction of the
several heads OF the departments to
Mr.. Strong, Thomas F. Gilroy took
his departure from the mayors office
and, as he announced, from political
life.
The conditions of the new officials
will be somewhat changed. The new
state constitution went into effect
yesterday. Under it every species of
gambling is a criminal offense. Rumors
of the intended resignation of many
officials are rife, but it is generally
believed that the men in possession
will hold on until they see whether a
power OF removal bill will be passed
at Albany.

The Fight Has Just Begun.

In the early part of the Rebellion
the cry of "peace at any price" WAS
heard IN many sections of the country
and at one time it was thought that
it would imperil the Union. Again, in
these commercial times and regarding
the tariff question, some are short
sighted enough to cry "peace at any
price; give the country g chance to
recover" 1t is we'll enough for the
free traders to give way in their at
tacks upon American industries, but
it is no time for protectionists to
lesson their efforts in favor of "Ameri.
can Labor and Industries"
Can any one point to single Amer
lean Interest or industry that was
harmed by a discussion of the McKin-
ley bill in the fifty-first Congress? Can
any one point to a single American
interest that was injuriously affected
by the passage OF the Mckinley bill in
1890? Indeed, it was conclusively
shown by a limited number OF reports
that over forty million dollars capita
fround new investment and nearly
forty thousand hands found addi-
tional labor by the passage of the bill
The predictions of 1892 found full
fillment as soon as the free trade ad
ministration took it's seat, and for
eighteen months thereafter the indus
trial interests OF the country suffered
to an extent much greater than the
entire loss caused by the civil war

WILD WESTERN Auxos.
An Indian Territory cattleman Has o High
Old Time in Kansas City.

r. Curtis, a cattle man from Minco,
l. T., entered the bar-room of the West
End Hotel, at Sixteenth and Bell
street, one night recently and at the
point of a revolver captured replace.
He made several present do a song
and dance, and then forced others to
stand on their heads. Growing tired
of this wild excitement, ne began
shooting at the glassware behind the
bar. When demonstrated with by j..
Berry, the proprietor. he turned the re-
volver in Berry's direction. Berry
dropped behind the bar just as the
bullet struck the bar mirror in the
center. Berry was deluged with bits
of broken glass. AS he rose to brush
himself Curtis shattered another big
mirror.
After shooting the chandeliers to
fragments and drilling holes through
several pictures on the walls, Curtis
put his gun In the belt strapped about
his waist and said, with a broad
smile: "Say Berry, what is the dam
ages?"
Berry made hasty inventory and
said 1925. The cattle man made
him out a check for the amount.
An officer entered and placed Curtis
under arrest. This morning Judge
Jones ordered Berry to turn thecheck
over to the cattle man, pending an
appraisement OF the damages by q
court officer. Curtis will be, tried for
carrying concealed weapons. discharg-
ing weapons inside the city limits and
disturbing the peace. He thinks he
has had considerable fun, and is sat
fed with the bill.

Nothing succeeds like success.

is true in other instances. The sue

The principal interest conferred
in the match between DIR. Carver, of
Kansas City. the worlds champion
live bird shot, and Tom Marshall, of
Keithsburg. Carver has never had
the lead of Marshall that one might
suppose. There never has been but
bird or two between them. Carver
has record of 100 straight birds,
while Marshall has killed 142 out of
145. Carver killed on the occasion
of yesterdays match 10 straight;
then the twentieth was lost because
it fell out OF bounds. He missed the
twenty-six;h, twentv-ninth, thirty
first, fortieth and forth-fifth birds,
although the twenty-sixth fell out of
bounds. He was either careless or
else the laughing of the crowd made
him nervous. Marshall was more
lucky. In his first 25 he lost the
seventh and twenty-third. and in the
second the fifteenth and twcnty-first.
He thus killed 46 birds to Carver's
"A. He was applauded. and the 5000
in stakes was turned over to him.

exhibition is larger, grauder and
more comprehensive than ever this
year. and the press of other cities
unhesitatingly pronounce it the
greatest enterprise of its kind in the
world. In point Of novelty or in the
number of great features no other
show can approach it. Tee concerts
of the Liberati band alone constitute
a grand and complete entertainment.
and musical people are especially in
terested in this grand extra feature
of the big show. The triple ring per-
Torrance is beyond all comparison
the finest ever seen in America.
The menagerie. with its giant giraffe.
the ponderous hipp,potamus and the
many other rare and curious
wild beasts; the horse fair with
its 400 valuable horses; the
grand opening tournaments: the
Roman hippodrome with its thrilling
standing races, its exciting two and
4-horse chariot races and other en-
crossing contests. all contribute to a
performance which in extent, variety
and costliness, defies description.
We would call particular attention
to the procession. which will leave
the show grounds at 10 o'clock on
the morning of the exhibition, and
move over the principal down town
streets. Ringling Bros. have always
been famed for their great street
pageant, but this years effort iar
surpasses that of any previous year.
