The Zephyr is not able to get at the
facts from those interested in the pro-
perty, but the talk among the mining
class is that splendid strike has been
made in the Gold Hill, property two
miles from Gaylord, in which Messrs.
Cutler, Wilkinson and others are inter-
ested. Five feet OF gold ore that
averages so per ton is the reported
size of the new strike. Two feet of the
five furnishes ore that will run 500 per
ton, so the report goes. There are
several evidences that the reports are
we'll founded, one OF which is the reti-
cence of the owners. II the ore runs

In referring to mining matters in the
Lump Gulch district the Clancy Miner
says: Aside from the Muskegon deal
which was made this week. there have
been no transactions in this mineral
field during the past week worthy of
special note. Perhaps-the leading
reason for this is in the fact that the
weather has been exceedingly severe,
even for this latitude, at this time of
year. a deal Of considerable impor-
tance failed of completion at the New
Stake mine: though it may be con-
summated later. The Badger made a

who had little or no knowledge of the
art of prospecting or mining to dis
cover it. 1t passed into the hands of a
rich man who will probably get mil
lions out OF it, yet the question re-
mains: How many properties of a like
nature are there in the state? Pros
pecting in Montana is comparatively
easy; the towns for the purchase of sup
plies are not far apart and both trans
portation and supplies are cheap. Yet
hundreds of men are allured to far
away countries where the dangers are
greater and the possibilities of finding
plays no more part in the business Of
prospecting than it does in anything
else. 1t is labor that counts and it is
the men who will push out into the re-
mote districts of the state and exercise
their brain and muscle who will be the
millionaires of the future.
An English corporation known as the
London Exploration company, has
bought q controlling interest in the
Helena and Frisco mine, which was
the property of A. M. Hotter, S. T..

The sale was consummated Sunday.
WI. Chalmers of Chicago, president of
the Fdaser & Chalmers company, who
had been working on the deal for sew
eral months with Hamilton Smith,
agent for the Exploration company
was present and closed the deal for the
purchasers. George Mcdonald, OF, Gem,
Idaho, was in Helena while the deal
was being consummated, and it is un-
derstood that he will continue as man

The old adage that distance lends

out over their own state and have been

missioner 10 be Rapidly

WASHINGTON, September 21.-
Commissioner of Pensions Muir
ply has made his annual report
for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1896. He says:
There were added to the rolls
during the year 1894 new pen
sioners and there were restored
1878 who had been previously
dropped, total of 44,247. During
the same period the losses were
29,393 by deaths and 1,141 by re-
marriage (widows), 1854 by legal
limitation (minors), 1852 be-
cause of failure to claim pension
for three years, and 1928 for
other causes, an aggregate of A,
993. The net gain over the pre-
vious year was only 154, and it
may be safely assumed that the
roll forthwith will show a marked
and steady diminution, unless
Congress should enact still more
liberal provisions than are
now upon the statute books.
The rate of mortality
among our pensioners, parti.
cularly among those who served
during the war of the Rebellion,
is rapidly increasing, the number
reported deceased during the year
far exceeding that of any cores
pondiDg period in the history of
the bureau. The whole number
of pensioners on the roll June 80,
1896, was 970,67S. While the
rolls show o slight gain in nun
bers over the year Immediately
preceding, the amount disburs, d
for pensions was $13S,214,761, a
dec'C ase of Sl,592,155, as COM
pared with the previous year,
There were 459,665 pension clr;ms
pending at the close of IT,. fiscal
year, 224 377 being applicatiors
for increase made oy persons now
on the rolls,
Although last years estimate of
Sl4O,000,0G0 for pension, was ST..
10000 more than was necessary
for the past fiscal year, the Com
missioner duplicates the estimate
for the next fiscal year, stating
that he believes the adjudication
of many cases will make the full
amount necessary. 1t is his in
tention to push the settlement of
cases as rapidly as possible.
There is no foundation for the
erroneous impression that it is the
intention still further to revise
the lists, as the purging of the
roll, commenced in 1893, has been
entirely accomplished. 1t ought
to be understood, however, that
there still exists the purpose to
maintain the pension roll as the
nations roll of honor. | am glad
to state that the rigorous measures
instituted by my predecessors
have apparently discouraged
violators Of the pension laws and
rendered the business of procur.
ing fraudulent pensions unsafe
and Improbable.
He recommends an increase of
$12 per month of pensions to
survivors Of the Mexican war, and
also recommends pensions to
widows of officers and soldiers
who died from causes originating
in the service prior to March 4,
1861. He recommends the pas
sage of the bill pending in Con
gress for the codification of the
Dension laws.

Reading the NewsD2per.

"What newspaper reading people we
are!'' said MI. Gozlim. 1T seems as
though everybody reads newspapers. In
an elevated car the other day I saw
little child less than year old which
was reading a newspaper, Or which
seemed to be. The father had been read
ing the paper really, but the baby, sit
ting on it's fathers knee, had clutched
at it, and finally the father placed it in
the child's little hands, and it sat there,
holding the paper in front CT itself, and
looking at it soberly, and now and then
looking up at its father, and all this so
pleased a gentleman with a gray mus
tache, who sat opposite, that when he
got up to go out he chucked the baby
gently under the chin and smiled at it
as he passed. New York Sun.

HE SNEEZED A BULLET.
Peculiar Experience of q Man Who Was
Wounded In the Civil War.

Wounded In the Civil War.
Colonel Sidney Cooke Of Harrington,
Kan. one of the managers Of the Ma
tional Soldiers home, tells of a peculiar
experience in the army during the civil
war. At the outbreak of the war he was
a strapping New England boy, with
strength and vitality which stood him
well during his army life.
After taking part in several engage
ments Colonel Cooke was shot in the
head and left on the battlefield as dead.
The Federals reiterated from the field
and the Confederates soon occupied it.
Colonel Cooke, who was then a private,
was aroused to consciousness by some
one Juggling at his boots. The boots
were very fine and the pride of his boy
ish heart, having been given to him by
the dear ones at home.
''Ain't you dead, Yank?' asked the
Confederate as he ceased Juggling to re-
move the boots from the feet of the
wounded boy.
On being assured that Cooke was not
dead a compromise was effected. The
Confederate brought the Union soldier
some water and carried him to a Con-
federate surgeon. In return he secured
! the coveted boots.
! Cooke had long convalescence and
| finally recovered sufficiently to be sent
to Andersonville prison, where he suffer
! ed, in addition to the privations of
prison life, great pain from his wound.
This suffering continued even after his
release and his discharge from the army
at the close of the war
One day, long after the war was over,
! Colonel Cooke, who had settled in Kan
sas, was seized with a violent spell Of
sneezing. Just in the midst Of it the
bullet was expelled from his nose. Chi:

TEETH MAKE MANY ILLS.
The Evils Which Follow Imperfect Mss
ticatfon May Be Avoided. q


It would take too long to enumerate
The many ills which may spring from
imperfect teeth,' said Dr.. Derby. ssOf
course one who has good teeth knows
their value, but not enough people know
what to do to keep them always inp prop
er condition. Neither can you tell one
just what is necessary at all times. The
removal Of all foreign substances from
any contact with the dentine is of course
the primary necessity in considering the
preservation of the teeth.
Zone Of the first reasons why one
should have perfect teeth is the indu-
ence they exert over the digestion. To
secure proper assimilation the process of
mastication should be thorough. Moth
ing less will accomplish the results in
tended. If this process is incomplete,
all the attendant evils Of indigestion are
likely to follow: Thus the question Of
health is interposed as a primary one
Freedom from aches and pains and ap-
pearance take secondary places
"Of the many forms of neuralgia
which cause such excruciating suffering
great many owe their existence entire
~ to the presense of faulty teeth. They
can be remedied only by the proper
treatment Of the diseased roots. When
this is done, number Of nervous disor-
ders respond readily to the ordinary
medical treatment Toothache, pure and
simple, must be considered as an attend
ant Of improperly cared for teeth. It is
an old saying that the man who finds
an absolute remedy for and preventive
Of toothache will make big fortune.
"Of course the primary instruction
to one who is suffering from bad teeth is
to see dentist. The exposed surface of
the teeth, the enamel, must be kept per-
feet and whole. Any breaks in it must
be Immediately repaired and any wear
ing away or decaying Of the structure
must be built up if one expects to Sc
cure all the perfect results for which
the teeth We're designed by nature. Con-
slant brushing and cleaning and any
good nonacid wash will do much to
keep the teeth in good repair.
''Of course you know the story Of the
man who, when his teeth were admired,
gave the following. reasons for their per-
feet conditions: I always brush them,
night and morning and after eating,
and leave them in a glass Of salt water
while I am asleep. San Francisco

an average depth of 20 fathoms Gao
