MINES OF RED BLUFF
A. W. Tanner Talks Entertainingly
About His Country.
AN ELECTRIC POWER PLANT
The Placer Miners Making Ar
rangements to Prosecute
work With Vengeance
This Summer.

Among the Sunday guests at the Mon
tana was A. w. Tanner of Red Bluff,
who visited friends in Anaconda during
the day. Mr.. Tanner is a mining man,
one of those old Californians who never
was weaned from his love for placer dig
gings. He has one of the largest claims
in Madison county and works IL seven
months out of the year. His properties
are on Cherry creek, tributary OF the
Madison, and he is one of the fortunate
ones who have water in abundance, his
right consisting of all the waters of
Cherry creek, amounting to 1000 inches.
This is carried by a fume nearly a mile
long to the ground where he uses a n.y.
draulic system in washing out the gold.
rubes and Montana sapphires. These
stones are found in this ground in abun-
dance and the product is estimated at
from 20 to so pounds per day. During the
season employment is given to from eight
to 10 men.
In addition to his mining interests,
which are the most extensive, Mr.. Tan
ner conducts a mercantile establishment
and is we'll posted on the doings of the
district by the customers who trade with
him. OF these things he would not speak
positively, but gave the news as IL Is cur
rent around his home. About five miles
are making for immense improvements.
among which, IL is said. will be an cleo
trical plant. The purpose being to gen.
crate 800 900 horse power by electricity
which may cheaply be distributed
throughout Southern and Western Mon
tana. Superintendent Madden has a doz-
en- men on the proposed site, building
houses. making roads and in other ways
laying out work.
The scheme ia said fnvOIvpS the ax-
pendture of more than a million dollars.
No one has the confidence of the projec-
tors, but their plan is saId to consist of
building a dam across the Madison 40 or
90 feet in height to secure head for a
fume that will give them a fall OF $50
feet or more, for the operation of their
electric machines by water power.
The men who have appeared on the
ground and most interested are John F.
Cowan of Butte. a we'll known represen-
tative of eastern capitalists: L. 8. Num-,
S. n. Mum and Mr. Wrench of Telluride
and T. A. Davis of Salt Lake.
The Revenue mine is being worked
who handle from 40 TO 80 tons of ore per
day.
The Monitor. owned by S. X. Knox, has
paid handsomely for the development
work which has been done upon II. A
vast body of ore is in sight. which so far
as has been milled, runs from 80 to $500
per ton.
AS spring opens there will be more
than the usual amount of work done i'm
this section. There is no part OF Mon
tana more worthy of investigation by
mining men than this. Not only in quartz
claims bearing gold. if not rich in small
leads. IL is rich in big bodies of mineral
bearing rock. such as have made the
most profitable of mines when properly
handled. No boom is anticipated or de-
sired, and yet a season of activity is ex-
pected around Norris and Red Bluff,
which it is believed Will give permanent
prosperity to that region.

John TAFT Writes Letter From Johau-
nesburg, South Africa.

John TAFT Writes Letter From Johau-
nesburg, South Africa.
From the Minneapolis Journal.
The Jouranl is i'm receipt of a letter
from one of a party Of five miners who
passed through Minneapolis from Mon
tana on their way to the South Africa
gold mines early last winter. The men.
on arriving. separated two to go pros
pecting in Zululand. and the others to
secure work in the mines, which they had
no trouble in doing. The letter was dated
Jan. g. or just about the time of the
Jameson raid, and is full of interest,
though the news II contains is not differ
ent from that of the press dispatches Of
that time. Accompanying the letter was
also sent a paper. the Standard and
Weekly Diggers News, the authorized
government gazette for Witwatersrand,
giving detailed accounts of the different
events of the trouble as they were &C.
curing from day TO day.
1t is the advice of John f. TAFT. the
writer OF the letter. that miners and la
borers should stay away from the gold
mines. Common labor is too cheap, as
the Kaffirs work for very little pay. At
the present time. Mr.. TAFT says that the
johannesburg is without doubt the larg-
est mining camp in the world. as for
miles both east and west OF the town the
land is covered with mines. The letter
was written on Jan. 5. and required a
little over five weeks for its transmission.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The French people never tire of re-
lating anecdotes of the eccentricity and
enormous wealth of Americans. An
American went into a hair dresser's
shop in Paris recently and found a
charming but poorly dressed girl en-
gagged in negotiations with the proprie-
tor. She was Offering TO sell him her
magnificent head of hair for three ma
poieons-the man would give her no
more than one. At last the poor girl
gave way with tears, and the barber
was about to employ the fatal scis-
sors when the American interviewed
and demanded the cause OF the sad AT
fair.
He found that the girls parents who
formerly had been well on Were I'm tho

had determined to make so great "A

TEACHING DOCTRINE.
Il der Bsrnaby's Serm on Last Evening at
the Christian Church.


Elder G. E. Barnaby preached doc
trinal sermon last evening at the Church
of Christ which answered a question Of
ten asked by opponents of the Disciples
creed do the Disciples, or the Christian
Church. Believe I'm the Holy Spirit?" His
reply was this. to sum up a long sermon
in a paragraph

er. Paul says, The gospel is Gods power
unto salvation Hence the language of
John. when he the spirit of truth is come,
will convict the world of sin. righteous
ness and judgment" The apostles did
not separate the spirit and word of God,
and we must not
does. and whatever the spirit in the work
of converting the sinner does the word
does.
I'VE have no faith in the doctrine of
abstract spirit nor abstract word, but
word and spirit spirit and word. AS dis
ciples of Christ we believe in the spirit
of God, Holy Spirit. the power and per-
sonality that guides men into all truth.
The power that employs language a
medium through which to convey truth to
the minds OF men.
Holy Spirit through Peter (use of Ian
guage) commanded repentance and i'm
mersion for the remission of sin. The
Holy Spirit commanded Peter to get
down from the housetop and go to Gaze
sarea and tell Cornelius words whereby
he and his house should be saved. spirit

himself to the chariot.

preach Jesus, the spirit through Philip
commanded the eunuch to be immersed.
hence we have, spirit and word.
This is the spirit we believe in that
communicates truth by means of human
speech, but do not believe and have moth
ing to do with an abstract spirit-upon
which the scriptures are absolutely silent.

.ope at a Time, Gentlemen, -

This good parrot story is told by an
English Snowman who possessed a
beautiful parrot which excited the ad-
miration of the crowd by its capital
imitation of the showman's voice and
tones when inviting the public to step
into the booth. One day the creature
escaped. Soon a number of men and
boys were on it's track, but before they
had gone far they heard loud noise
caused by the screeching of birds in
the wood On arriving at the spot
whence the sounds proceeded, they
found poor poll perched on the with
cred branch of a tree, bereft OF most
of her feathers and surrounded by a
flock of screeching crows. that were
mercilessly pecking at her with their
beaks In perfect imitation of the
showman's voice. however. the poor
bird kept saying: "One at time, gen
tlemen! Don't crush so, please! Take
your time. There's plenty of room"'-
