who ever spoke the English language.
There are few people who would care TO
dispute that statement. however much
they lack sympathy for lngcrsoll In his
sentiment or faith in his doctrines. Ever
since his memorable nomination OF Blaine
at the Cincinnati convention In 1876 Colonel
ingersolrs reputation as an orator has
been established throughout the world
while his writings and lectures have all
been translated and read IN every civilized
language extant Probably no orator at
any time or In any country. has stirred
the emotions of his hearers or left such
deep impress on the thought OF his
time as has Colonel Ingersoll HIS natural
ness. honesty and freedom from artlfce
have endearet him to all lovers
OF sturdy manhood. No matter
whether his ideas on religion
are true or false, II can not be denied
that he has always advocated good moralF
and has stood Ike a tower for the purity
OF the home.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION

Secretary Smith has handed down a
recent decision that is of direct inter-
est to locatOrs of placer ground. Re-
fering to the necessity of subdivisions
where the land has been surveyed. he
says: By section 1880 legal subdivi-
sions of 20 acres may be subdivided in
to 20-acre tracts, and section 1881. of
the revised statutes, provides that.
where the placer claims conform to le-
gal subdivisions, no further survey or
plat shall be required. 1t seems to me,
therefore, that it is clearly the inten-
ton Of the statute that the location of
placer claims by legal subdivisions
makes the marking of the boundaries
an idle ceremony that is not contem-
plated by the law"
In the same case. that Of John NJ.
Reynolds. no discovery OF mineral was
claimed to have been made, but it was
cited that the land was returned as
mineral by the surveyor general, and
it was therefore claimed that it was
not even necessary to make discovery.
The secretary held that this does not
in any event avoid the necessity of a
discovery of mineral. and any location
made without a discovery. as required
by the statute, is void.

ANOTHER MINE HORROR.
Seven Men Killed by An Explosion in the
BrOadwater Mine at Neihart.

Seven Men Killed by An Explosion in thu
B~roadwater Mine at Neihart.
The Broadwater mine in Neihart
was the. scene of a terrible explosion
early Sunday morning which resulted
in the death of seven men and the
wounding of six others, some of whom
are expected to die.
The dead are: Frank Doran, jim
Morrison, Hugh Mckenzie, Dan
O'Leary, Dan Ross, John Kerns, and
Joe Dearon.
The wounded are: Mike Ward, James
Comfy: Mike Coburn, Chas. Schmidt,
James Gallagher, and Joe Doran.
OF the men killed all were single ex-
cept Frank Doran. At last accounts
James Gallagher was dying. 1t is also
feared that three others will die.
There seems to be some doubt as to
the actual cause of the tragedy, al
though the point of explosion is known
to be at a magazine where the dynamite
was stored. The three tunnels of the
Breadwater mine are along the road
leading up from the canyon over old
Badly. The second tunnel, where the
explosion occurred, is close to the road.
A short distance inside is a branch tun-
mel about 80 feet long leading to the
magazine in the drift. About so feet
down the main tunnel the miners were
working, a shot having been put in
just before they went to lunch at IL
o'clock.
There we're % miners working on the
level, about half at whom had gone in
or were going in at the time of the ex-
p~losion. Frank Doran had charge of
the magazine, which was used for thaw-
ing out powder. He went in ahead
with a box of powder. The last seer of
him, he was kneeling on the ground
boxing the powder. It is supposed
that the fire from his candle ignited the
powder, or it may be possible that he
perceived his danger, for his body was
found in the main shaft fully so feet
from the magazine,

DEATH OF CAPT. SHEPHERD.

Captain John Calhoun Shepherd, who
has been one Of the characters of Butte
for many years, Is dead. He was a
great favorite with the people Of the
busy metropolis, and always figured
most prominently in the observance of
national holidays.
The captain was a privileged char
acter in Butte. He ate and drank what
he wanted, and never paid, nor he was
ever expected to.
The captain claimed to have been a
veteran of the Mexican war, and the
people of Butte were too busy and too
charitable to probe too deeply into the
captains wal record. There were
some, however, who were unkind
enough to insinuate that the captains
fighting record existed principally in
his vivid imagination.
He lived by his wits and he never
overlooked anything. On one occasion,
when Sells circus visited Butte the
manager was introduced to the captain.
''How large is your family" asked the
circus manager. Six replied the
gallant captain without batting an eye.
The manager gave him six compliment
aries. The captain had no family.
This little incident is related just to
show that he vas great in strategy.
Peace to his ashes.

1t has been intimated that Cleveland
proposes to delay action in the Cuban
matter until a short time before the
democratic conventions; then suddenly
become intensely interested in the
Cuban cause and provoke a war with
Spain IN the theory that such a condi-
ton of affairs would keep him where
he is. Abraham Lincoln, speaking of
his reelection during the war, said
the people did not care to swap horses
while crossing a river, but Grover will
find. should he attempt this coup, that
the American people will gladly ex-
change a slow moving mule for a spirited
horse under any and all circumstances.
