IN MINING CIRCLES
The Curlew Promises to Produce More
Than Ever.
ITS OWNERS ARE HOPEFUL
Reports Come From the Golden
Scepter Property of an Encour-
aging Nature-Other Mines
Coming to the Front.

Missoula, Jan. 2s.-Despite the fact
that it is early in the season, there is
a decided stir in local mining circles,
which justifies the prediction made
early in the winter that there would
be important developments in the min
ing industry of this section this year
The expectations of the Curlew people
have more than been realized in the
returns from the ore taken from the
new shaft on that property and mining
men who have visited the Curlew since
the new work was begun are all of the
opinion that the mine will more than
equal its record in early days. 1t is
not easy to obtain accurate informa-
ton regarding the mine, but enough
is known to warrant the statement
that the Curlew will become famous as
a silver producer.
From the Golden Scepter gold prop
critics come reports that this group OF
mines is showing up more and more
favorably as the development work
progresses and the owners are feeling
much encouraged. AS soon as the roads
are in condition machinery for the
new mill will be hauled in from the
railroad and before fall the crushing Of
cock of Golden is in Missoula to-day.
He has completed the wagon road from
the mines to the railroad and, as soon
as the county builds the promised
bridge across He'll Gate river, every
thing will be in readiness for getting
supplies into the camp.
The Missoula Gold Mining company
is going ahead in a quiet way with the
exploration and development Of the old
San Martina properties. From the
shaft which is being sunk some excel
lent ore Is being taken and present in
dicatfons are very favorable for the
successful operation of these mines.
The Copper Cliff mine. near the Deer
Lodge county line, Is also attracting
considerable attention from local min
ing men and the opinion is expressed
that this will develop into a big prop
erty. The ore Is exceedingly rich and
1t is reported that there is a big vein of
IL. The development work that has
been done here is not great but the
prospects are considered TO be very ia
vorable.

The Greatest Ara l. sp,ntaneous.

Only when the instructive moment
has given way to the self-conscious at
titude has the need arisen for canons
of taste and for analysis of the pre-
vious products of spontaneity. Unhap-
PLY the converse is also true. When
the mind is exercised upon the vital
questions of art-what may be its ut
terances, what modes of expression are
legitimate, and the like. ii is a sign
sure and unfailing that the fullest and
freest activity, the most spontaneous
inspiration is for the time in allegiance.

SHE SHOT A BURGLAR.
Mrs. Frederick #. Mi.Iig,n shoots a Flee
ing 4 hisf.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Plucky Mrs. Frederick +. Milligan went
cunning after a housebreaker yesterday
afternoon, and as a result of her good
aim the police at Cragin are now look
ing for limping burglar with a bullet
wound in one of his legs.
Mrs Milligan's courage last night was
the topic of general discussion among the
neighbors at Mont Glare. Her husband is
fire insurance adJuster, and his resi-
dence is located on Seventy-first, near
West Wrightwood avenue.
Yesterday afternoon shortly after din
ner Mr.. Milligan was called away and left
his wife and sister-in-law at home to
look after the household. Mrs. Milligan
and her sister were sitting in the front
parlor chatting about O'Clock when they
heard strange noise i'm one of the rear
rooms.
Il believe there's a man in the house."
said Mrs. Milligan's sister.
Mrs. Miligan did not scream, nor did
she become frightened
IF there is anybody here" she replied,
Tets go and look for them
Then she went to a bureau drawer and
took out her husbands revolver.
AS soon as she entered her bedroom she
became convinced some one had broken
into the house. The drawers of the
dressing case had been pulled out and the
contents had been thrown on the floor in
great confusion. Without stopping to
examine into the details of the loss Mrs.
Milligan went to the kitchen just in time
to see a man running through the yard
The next moment the kitchen door
opened and Mrs Milligan was running
after the burglar. The man increased his
speed, and Mrs. Milligan, seeing that he
was rapidly getting out of her reach,
fired several shots.
The fleeing thief uttered a cry of pain,
fell to the ground, but regained his feet
the next instant and limped away as fast
as he could. Satisfied she had wounded
the house breaker. Mrs. Milligan returned
to her home and watched the man limp
ing toward Dunning.
An examination of the household eff
fects showed the thief had only secured
SO for his trouble. Mrs. Milligan reported
the burglary to the Cragin police and the
officers were sent out to search the dis
trict for the wounded burglar. Up to IL
o'clock last night he had not been found.

Missoula. Jan. 2S-Col. J. A. McGow-
an of Horse Plains (Plains). who has
been in this city for a couple of days,
said to a Standard reporter to-day:
I'VE don't care down our way whether
1t is Horse Plains or Plains. although
we do not want 1t understood that
there is a horse on us. We are too
busy now with more important matters
70 spend much time quarreling over
the name of our town. We are getting
ready TO make some extensive inn
provements this year and, whatever
the name of the town is, we are going
TO have lively place But l think
that in time, the town will be gen.
orally called Plains. That is the name
now given ii by the postofiice and land
Office departments and If the Northern
Pacific will fall into line, there will be
no reason for retaining the Horse
But l want you to bear i'm mind that

COURT ADJOURNS.
One of the Most Eventfui Sessions Ever
Held In avail county.

One OF the MOST Etentiui SessiohS 1'Na
Held In X avail county.
Stevensville. Jan. 2s.-The district
court convened at 8 o'clock this morn
ing and sat for only a few minutes.
The minutes of yesterday were read
and approved and court then adjourn
ed for the term. Judge Woody took
the morning train for Missoula- This
ended one of the most eventful terms
of court ever held in Ravalli county.
The grand jury failed to find any in
dictment in the Strongue murder case,
as, Ii is said. they did not feel that the
evidence before them was strong
enough to convict any of the suspect
ed persons, though much new matter
was brought out before them. Yet,
being careful to avoid expense TO the
county, unless with a good show for
conviction, they waited to indict any
one in the matter. The universal opin-
ion is that the grand jury did good,
clean, wholesome work and the true
situation of affairs i'm this county is
now fairly before the people.

Boston, April 15.-The following letter
from Marsovan. western Turkey, Eel
ruary II, contains an account of ma s.
saore in that vicinity:
lille ia a town of 5000 houses $50 to
400 being Armenian. Is to 90 Greek, the
rest Turkish. November 20, most Arme-
man shop keepers were in their places,
and of those whose business did not re-
quire shops, 90 or go of the principal men
collected by the police at casino in the
market under pretense of business about
taxes.
At noon the trumpet was blown. and
the Turks, soldiers and civilians together
began to assault Armenians with the cry :
" Down with the Armenians; this is the
Sultan's order. Real estate to the crown
commodities to plunder.' The captain
gave orders to 40 or so soldiers to open
fire. They obeyed, and when the Arme-
mans tried to run from the market to
their houses they encountered the sold
lers stationed in the quarters, as we'll as
the armed Turkish mob, neither of
whom showed any quarter to the Chris
tians Of those in tho casino all but Is
or 20 were killed; the latter escaping one
by one, though wounded In two hours
200 shops were looted.
In all 200 shops and 300 houses were
looted; $50 to 200 were killed; 30 to so
wounded.

to acccu INT for the penetrating power of

ing from the ordinary light ray which is

be true, tho suggestion hardly seems

ton of all the mysteries of life, the uni
verse and even the spiritual existence,
and the most fanciful of them may be the
first to be developed. Varied applications
in medicine, surgery and the dispensing
OF justice have been suggested to mention
which would be to rehearse what is al
