SHE PLOTTED THE MINERS
Old Indian Woman Took Them to the
Lost Placer Diggings.

Lost Placer Digginss.
Nine years ago two pioneer miners,
Gid Hathaway and John Robinson,
started from Germanson creek, in Omin-
eca (B. O. district to prospect the ma
tional lake and river country. Tho next
year their skeletons We're found side by
side, they having been evidently return
ing when overtaken by death Heavy
shot gold was found in their cloth
ing, and it was learned at Fort Macleod
they had paid coarse gold for supplies
there, remarking that there was plenty
more where that came from. Where
they located the treasure remained
mystery until this season, although sew
eral lives have been lost in the futile
endeavor to rediscover the lost creek.
Last year seven of the old timers got
cogether-J J May, Captain Black,
William Kenton, John Lyons, Harry
Goodal, Hugh Grant and Ezra Evans
and agreed that one more move should
be made So well equipped expedition
was last June dispatched into the Omi-
neca wilderness, starting from Manson
creek, in command of Grant and pi-
loted by an Indian woman who remem-
bered Hathaway and thought she knew
the country they had been working ill.,
The path she selected was in the terri
tory of the Stikeen river, little known
to the Omineca Indians No objection
was made by them to the invasion Of
their country, and the stream was
eventually reached where Hathaway
and Robinson had been working.
Abundant indications of their opera
tions were found, besides cabin par
TALLY in ruin, in which over 1000 in
dust was recovered, stored in wooden
soap box, which there had been no ef-
fort to conceal Grant and his compan-
ions panned the creek i'll several places,
taking out $50 to $50 daily and imme-
diately stalking claims for all interested
with them Their report on returning
to Manson SO excited the old Cassiar
miners that great rush is anticipated
in the spring Colonel Weatherley, a
former Cuban insurgent commander,
has already organized an expedition,
which he expects will be first in the
field. The new creek has been named
Hathaway, and one adjoining it and
equally promising Robinson. - New

HIS PECULIAR WILL.
DIR. HulIs Instructions For the Ereotio
of Monument.

DIR. Hulrs Instructions For the Erection
of a Monument.
The late Dr. Tyler Hull of Lansing,
Mich left the following peculiar will
"There shall be erected at my grave
within one year after my decease a
monument, if the assets Of the estate
shall warrant, according to the follow
ing conditions: If my estate shall foot
up to $40, 900 or more, then there shall
be erected at my grave granite mon
ument worth $4,000 If my estate
shall aggregate $50. 900 and under $40,-
900, there shall be erected at my grave
granite monument worth So, ,000."
Then there follow six other items,
couched in language similar to the
above and being in substance as follows:
Between $25, 900 and $50, 900, a SIS, :
900 monument; between 100000 and
$25, ,000 a $4,000 monument; between
$4,000 and $40, 900, So, 900 mon
ument; between $4,000 and $15, ,000
$1,000 monument; between $4,000
and $4,000, a $1,000 monument; be-
tween 81, 600 and $4,000, $500 mon
ument. " The last paragraph Of the will
provided that if the estate should ag-
gregate less than 81, 600 the whole ques-
tion of a monument should be left to
the discretion of his wife. New York

The greater number of government
positions are filled by Democrats, and the
: Democratic papers are almost unit IN
supporting President Mckinley in his
position on the civil service question.
Should the president extend the rules of
the much lauded "merit systeln" to in
clude the heads Of departments, postmas-
ters and the rest Of appointiye positions
not now under the rules, go soon as they
were filed by Republicans, these same
papers would rise up in their wrath and

COST OFAGREAT STRUGGLE.

Expenses OF the Luetgert Trial Will He
From S25,OOO to R5O,OOO.
The trial of the Luetgert case COIL
sumed eight weeks, and, were it posi-
BILE to give an itemized account of the
expense of the state of Illinois and the
defendant, the figures would scarcely
be credited, To a large extent the mat
ter of cost can only be estimated. Those
who are familiar with the expenses at
tached to the trial Of cases have estimat-
ed the cost to the state all the way from
$25, 900 to $4,000 Probably the truth
lies III medium between these figures.
10 begin with, the state procured all
extra appropriation of $500 from the
county board for the purposes Of the
prosecution. This went for actual daily
running expenses before the trial haa
proceeded three weeks. The state then
succeeded in getting another appropria-
tion OF So, 800 This money was OBJ
tanned solely for the purpose of paying
expert witnesses and to defray the ex-
penses Of police investigation, and it
was all expended before the end Of the
trial. Chicago Times Herald

ClIIzENS HAVE SOME RIGHTS.

communication regarding the Amer-
can Invalid Aid society aud its purposes,
signed by eight ministers in the city of
Minneapolis, appeared in the journal
contained the following reference to the
government reservation in Santa Fe:
A bill passed the senate last session
without any opposition, granting to the
American Invalid Aid society the aban
doned Fort Marcy, at Santa Fe, N. M, as
q sanitarium for cousumpsives entrusting
themselves to the advice of the society.
Unlocked for local opposition developed
itself in New Mexico; the bill failed of
being brought up in the house. 1t is ex.
peoted that similar bill will come be-
fore congress at this session, acceptable
to the New Mexico people, and equally
acceptable to those who have urged the
cause before.
The "unlooked for opposition deyel-
oped ITSELF in this city after the subject
of consumption had been given careful
consideration by the more thoughtful and
conservative citizens OF Santa Fe, and
through the efforts made by the people
here the bill was prevented going to the
house. AID yet, in the face of the wishes
of the people who have their homes here,
those who have health and property at
stake, the society announces that "a simi.
lar bill will come before congress at this
session."
The ministers who append their names
to the communication profess great de-
sire to aid their suffering fellow men, and
at the same time disregard the health of
the com munity where they desire to To-
cate sauitarum for the treatment of
consumptives in all it's varied forms.
That community is conveniently located
1000 miles from Minneapolis where all
danger of infection will be removed
from Minneapolis. Suppose for an in
stant that an aid society of some kind
should 60 before the city council of Min
neapolis and ask that II acres Of land
and 25 or 30 buildings be set aside in the
heart of that city, for the purpose of es.
tablishing charitable institution for the
treatment of typhoid patients, to be gath
cred up in all parts of the country. The
storm of indignant protests that would
60 up from the people OF that place
would be heard to the uttermost parts of
the world. The proposed consumptive
sanitarium In Santa Fe, and the supposed
typhoid fever sanitarium in Minneapolis
srs analogous.
Santa Fe does not want an institution
Of the kind planted in the center of the
city, and certainly the desires Of the citi-
xens 10 this matter are entitled to some
respect and consideration.

ALLIANCE WITH RUSSIA.

The peculiar conditions now confront
ing the United States concerning tht
Hawaiian islands and the building of tht
Nicaragua canal, the sealing question and
the control of the Pacific ocean should
turn the eyes of the statesmen at Wash
ington to Russia rather than to Grea
Britain when the scheme of arbitration
comes before them again.
The arbitration treaty which was de.
feated in the extraordinary session Of the
congress was an omiuous Illustration Of
the fact. That treaty was designed By
British diplomacy and American treach-
cry to cut the ground from under the
Monroe doctrine, to prevent the scquir
ing of the Hawaiian islands and the
building of the Nicaragua canal. This
was so plain that, when the senate sug
gested the advisabiity of excepting those
things from the operations of the instru-
ment, the British press, with one accord
exclaimed that if the Clayton Bulwer
treaty, the canal and the Monroe dootriu
we're left out the objects of the proposi.
tiou would be defeated.
The arbitration trick is only one of the
many movements against US that Eng
land and western Europe are attempting
or contemplating. Every power, incluc
ing the insular and the continental, wit
the single exception of Russia, has takel
alarm at our position and prospect,
They see plainly enough that, if Americ'
can gain domination over the Hawaii n
islands, the Nicaragua canal, and secure
permanent control of the Antilles, the
trade of the world will be at our mercy
Great Britain has Hong Kong, all Aur-
tralasia, the Gilbert and Fiji groups
Spain has the Philippines and the Caro-
lines. France has Tahiti. Germany ha
the Marshall islands and the dominating
influence in Samoa, and, further, recentl
has effected lodgment in China. Il
suits Russia's policy and purposes to 8.
cure American control over the Hawaiia
Islands.
1t would be Grass idiocy on our par
aot to meet this friendly feeling an
policy more than half way. frm I'm
derstanding with Russia would reliev
any apprehension that some timid Amer.
ican politicians may have, as to th
problem of holding Hawaii against tn,
world single handed. But that by no
means is the extent of the proposition
With the active good will of Russia,
neither great Britain nor any other power
| would dare to check our onward march
TO commercial greatness, nor to forbid US
the acquisition and control of it's chi-t
instrument, the Nicaragua canal. Russia
is willing that America should have the e1
elusive ownership of that coming grand
avenue of trade between the oceans, as
she ls that we should annex Hawaii. l
the czar says the word, the claws and tai
of the British lion will be clipped in Cen
tral America. Practical alliance with
him against all other nations, as far as
affairs in the western hemisphere are
G )ncerned, ia desirable and feasible, and
its accom- plishment would forever settle
all questions affecting the western hemis
phere, The Monroe doctrine would com
mhnd the respect of the powers of west
ern Europe. and the American nations
would be allowed to work out their own
destinies without fear or hindrance.j
