IrALYs WAR IN ABYsslNIA.
General Baratieri's Task of Subduing the
WarIike Natives a Difficult One.

General Baratieri's Task of Subduing the
Warlike Natives a Difficult One.
That the despised Abyssinian can fight,
and fight like a tiger, Italy has already
learned to her cost. She has spent millions
of dollars and has lost thousands of lives
endeavoring to convince the Abyssinians
that they really ought to be protected If
they wish to get any fun out of life, but
the Abyssinians are still fighting for indie
pendence with wonderful courage and sue
cess. 1t will be recalled that but few
weeks ago the Abyssinians, under the COM
mand of Ras Mangascia, Ras Makonnen
and q Russian officer, surrounded and
massaored II italian officers and 700 men.
Re-enforcements have been hurried to
north Africa, and General Baratieri, the
commander of Italy's Abyssinian army,
will doubtless see considerable hot fight
ing before he succeeds IN subduing the
warlike natives.
The ancient kingdom Of Abyssinia,
southeast of the Red sea ia northern
Africa, contains about 100, 900 square
miles The population is about 3, 500, 900,
and the inhabitants are COptic Christians,
who claim to be the oldest followers of
Christ on earth. For number of years

bottom. The collars, while made high
and faring, are shaped SO they turn
down when desired. There are double
capes and single capes and capes lined
with fur. A useful and comfortable cape
is one of cloth lined throughout with
real squirrel lock and trimmed with
black tibet Such cape is suitable for
almost all occasions.
Fur lined cloaks are shown in greater
variety than ever, and cloth coats and
long listers, made double breasted, with
balloon sleeves and strapped seams, are
lined with gray squirrel and faced on
the revers, collar and cuffs with chin
rhilla. Fur lined circulars are again il
fashion, but these revivals are made
with more fullness than were the Ole
fashioned ones. They come in brocade
and in plain satin.

GENERAL BARAT1ERI.


past Italy has been endeavoring to acquire
Abyssinia. She had gained foothold
there and was endeavoring to enlarge her
possession in 1887 when Johannis, Negus
Negusti, or King of Kings OF the Abys-
sinians, blocked her pathway with his
army.
King Johannis was in poor condition
for war with Italy. He had been lighting
the savage mahdists of tho Sudan for
several years, and the rebel Menelek- king
of Shoa, an Abyssinian state, Was also IN
the field against him, with al army or
49, 900 men. The Italians promptly be-
gan pacific negotiations with Menebek,
and when Johannis fell mortal1y wounded
in a battle with the nafldists, March 10,
1889. recognized Menelek as Negus Negusti
of Abyssinia. Menelek gave Italy many
territorial and commercial advantages and
reluctantly accepted AN Italian protector

Miss Sickels, Spy and Peacemaker, Gets q
Gold Medal From France.

Miss Emma G.. Sickels will soon receive
a gold medal which she won at the peril
of her life. When she performed her deed
of daring, however, she had no thought of
gold medals, and, in fact, had probably
never heard of La Sayateur society of
France, tho organization that is TO deco
rate her with its emblem and place her ON
its roll of honor. In 1886 Miss Sicksls
was teacher at the Pins Ridge IDsian
agency and had made many friends among
the chiefs. When the Indians began their
ghost dances and retreated to the Bad
Lands, they refused to receive any pacific
messengers from the government.

have only attained q depth OF about 300
feet on the Reco and am now employing

plant and machinery yet. but will do so
this spring. l will also very largely in

~ suppose you have heard of the SLOGAN
Star, which has been much talked about as
big mine. 1t is big mine, too, though
l will not admit that 1t is the equal of the
Reco, but its owners have done something
lately that will attract the attention of
miners over the world when they know of
it They have just made a contract with
the Omaha and Grant Smelling Company
to furnish the enormous quantity of 1900
tons day for the long period of eight
months. When you think of that and of
the immense amount of ore it will take to
fill this contract you will see in a way what
prodigious property they have. The ore
in this mine is rich also. and its character
is similar to that of the Reco.
What makes this ore so very rich in
silver are the sulphides that lie next to
the cubes. These sulphides are almost
pure silver, and when you get carload of
the ore there are good many hundred
pounds in it that are simply pure silver.
81 was a pioneer in CGur d 'Alene, and
had given a good deal of attention to
mining in theoretical gay prior to going
to SLOGAN, but ] knew almost nothing
ABOUT II practically, and since going there
/ have had to learn it. Had some rough
times of course. but after all when think
of the results which are eminently salts
factory to me, look upon it all as simply
nothing"
James f. Wardner, who was the owner
of the big Bunker Hill and Sullivan silver
mine at Wardner, Idaho, was present, and
said there was race between himself and
Mr.. Harris to get the Reco. THAT mine
was offered to me for fifteen hundred
dollars" said Mr.. Wardner, "and L was
going TO take it, but Harris got in ahead
of me, and he has to-day undoubtedly one
of the greatest mines of the country"
The town of Salmon is about $50 miles
from Spokane. Mr.. Harris will probably
be here several days.

MILLIONAIRE OF SLOGAN
John M. Harris and His Queer
Silver Mine in the
WildS.
The Mountains go Straight Up and
Down"-Big Contract of the
SLOGAN Star.

John NJ. Harris, one of the rising young
millionaires of Salmon, In the SLOGAN min
ing country, fifty miles north of the Amer
lean boundary, is at the Palace. Mr..
Harris is the owner of the Reco mine.
The Reco is one of the great mines Of the
w-district.
Last winter Mr.. Harris shipped $50 cars
of ore from the Reco, which brought at
the Omaha and Grant smelter $97, 600. The
ore, he says, averages from 211 ounces to
some 800 ounces per ton in silver and from
25 to 20 per cent in lead.
THE mine is a true tissure," said Mr..
Harris last night. 1.-THE vein cuts the
formation at right angle and the forma-
ton itself is porphyry and slate.
Salmon is the terminus of a branch of
the Canadian Pacific and a branch of the
Great Northern, so that there are abundant
shipping facilities. The Camp Salmon Is
new. / was one of the very first to get
there. l arrived in 1892 and made lot of
locations besides that of the Reco group,
which consists of four claims. located
the Omega, the Madison and the Dead
Man group. The latter 1 have recently
sold.
ITO my mind this part of the SLOGAN
country is the richest in America in silver
and lead. Were it not that the property
there was so rich we would be in the same
condition as the miners of idaho, Mon
tana and elsewhere; we couldn't work the
mines at all. But as it is, the ore running
SO heavy, we get along first rate and work
TO profit.
1.-THE camp lies at an altitude of about
1000 feet, while most of the mines lie at a
height of 5000 feet. 1t is pretty near
straight up-and-down proposition to get
to the mines. The Reco lies two miles
away from camp, and we have to go up at

JoURNEYED WITHOUT HIS WIFE
Furnished Raiment TO Get to His Hotel
in by One of the Train
Crew.

But for the opportune kindness of a
dining-car steward Banker ]. B. Lanker-
SHIN of Los Angeles would have come to
town in a barrel. AS it was, he appeared
clad in an unimpeachable Prince Albert
coat and pair OF trousers, the shininess
of which was only relieved by an occa-
sional grease spot, but poorly concealed by
the long skirts of the more respectable
garment.
On Tuesday last Mr.. Lankershim packed
his grip and departed for the north on the
Southern Pacific train which leaves the
city of Los Angeles at P. NJ. 1t was the
first time in his twenty years of married
life that the banker ever travelled from his
southern home without being accom-
panied by his wife. To this circumstance
unfeeling friends ascribe the fact that be-
fore he reached his journeys end he had
lost his self-esteem. what money he car
ried, and sad to relate, his trousers. 1t is
a saying, commonly heard from the
mouths of the gentlemen of the turf"
after a particularly unfortunate day of
speculation, that they have been bereft OF
that useful article of wearing apparel, but
it remained for the Los Angeles banker to
really find himself in that unenYlable pre-
dicament.
There was q most merry and distin-
guished party aboard the sleeper in which
Mr.. Lankershim had engaged a berth.
Judge Ross of Los Angeles, ex-Judge Finn,
Private Secretary McCabe of Governor
Budds personal staff, with their respec-
tive wives, and other ladies and gentlemen
were there. The banker was personally
known to nearly all of them.
The party fingered until late. The time
passed quickly with happy jest and story,
and it was close to cockcrow when "good-
night" was said.
Mr.. Lankershim had an upper berth at
the forward end of the car, and, after dis
robing, he hung his neither garment, in
the pockets of which was over 5000 in coin,
on hook at the outer edge of his bed. In
the morning when he awoke he startled
the other inmates of the car by announc-
ing that he had been robbed, not only of
his money, but of his trousers.
A thorough search of the car failed to
find the missing article Of clothing. and
only resulted in the discovery that another
passenger had lost his shoes. Then
lady who had lower berth opposite the
banker, and had been kept awake by sick
ness, explained the whole matter by re-
The San Francisco call., 1896-05-29

marking that two tramps had been
through the car shortly after the train left
Fresno. 1t seems that one of the brake
men of the train discovered a couple of
tramps on the roof of the car and forced
them to come down. He preceded them
on the trip through the cars to the front of
the train. The sick passenger had the
curtains of her berth drawn slightly aside
for the purpose of ventilation, ard was
startled by the sudden appearance of the
rough-looking party. She noticed that
the two tramps fingered a moment oppo-
site her section, and hastily drew the
draperies together, not, however, before
she had noticed that one of the men was a
tall fellow wearing small soft hat, and
that he walked with Imp.
The other was shorter, but being beyond
his companion was not so plainly seen.
The men fingered only a moment, and as
they departed the taller one winked face
tiously at the porter, who at that instant
came up. Besides the trousers and money
Mr.. Lankershim lost silver cardcase
rom the pocket of his coat.
The denuded passenger fingered long in
his berth that morning, his head stuck ont
between the drawn curtains, reviewing the
porters and brakemen until he could find
one of the Lankershim proportions. The
only man who represented the banker had
on greasy old suit, and he consented to
lend the lower half of it to the man of
money. Clothed in his spotless Willie
boy, his greasy. bag-kneed trousers and
toothpick shoes, the gentleman from Los
Angeles emerged from the train when it
arrived here and at once sought tailor.
He promises to make things unpleasant
either for the Southern Pacific or the Pull
man Company, or both. if his losses are
not made gooo.
