feet and it is the supposition that the

of the great producers OF the camp.

stockholders, visited the mine the first
of the week.

trict about three miles south or Lewis

ing the successful bidders. Two shifts

OF the hundrcn-foot tunnel, where the
vein was encountered and good values
obtained. This property Joins the My
Emma group. owned by Capt. De-
Lamar, and has every appearance of
becoming a good paying property.

owners in the Mercur. Geyser Marion
and Northern Light mines, is still
reaching after the good things of this
district and Friday added to his hold
ings one-sixth interest in the SNOW

incline In the Snowstorm has followed
the vein about 60 feet. and drifts are
now being run north and south from

Brutally Assaulted.

Butte Miner: August johnson, fore
man of the Parrot concentration. was
brutally assaulted and probably fatal
ly injured in South Butte last evening
as he was on his way home from work.
and Gus Nelson and Martin Herreson
who have been positively identified as
MS assailants, are under arrest on a
charge Of assault in the first degree,
which Will very likely be changed to
murder within the next twenty four
hours. Johnson was beaten over the
head in the most cowardly and brutal
manner imaginable with some heavy
instrument, presumably an iron coup
ling pin, and his skull was so badly
fractured that portions OF the shattered
portions of it had to be removed to
relieve the pressure ON the brain At
an early hour this morning he was
reported as being in an extremel
critical condition and the attending
physicians had very slight hopes of his
recovery, If in fact they entertained
any hope at all that he would pull
through.

they entered an almost empty carette

the tubes which carry the fares along
the sides of the vehicle to the box; Their
each one opened her purse.
''Tell you what" said the tall one.
"Let's race our nickel down, and the
one that loses pays for both?'
"All right, let's, said the short one.
SCOT your nickel ready? Go!''
"Mine's frst!' cried the tall one.
Five cents, please. -
''Why, look" cried the short one,
Eve didn't start fair! The box is on
your side!''
why, SO it is" said the tall one.
Funny we didn't notice that before
Let's try it over, and you stand that
much nearer the box.''
Again they each put in nickel, and
they dropped into the box simultane-
ously.
"Who has won, I'd like to know?''
said the tall girl. By this time the
driver as well as the one other passen-
ger was interested, and she spoke i'm
partially 10 them all But the driver
turned suddenly to his horses. and the
other passenger looked out of the win
dow, with a queer noise in his throat.
I'm sure I don't know who has
won, +" said the short girl snappishly,
''but one thing l do know-we have
each paid 10 cents for a ride down
town.
And, after the driver had been APP
pealed to and assured them that he
could net return the superhuous coins,

THE YOUNG TENOR.

Evoke. The harbored melody
Had crossed the slumber bar
And out upon the open sea
OF consciousness afar
Swept onward. with fainter strain,
As echoing the dream again.
So soft the silver sound and clear
Outpoured upon the night
That silence seemed a listener
O'erleaning with delight
The slender moon, finger tip
Upon the portal Of her lip.

The virginia Republicans.
Baltimore American.)


We have received from one of the most
distinguished Virginians living the follow-
ing, which he asks us to use edltoriaiy,
and we comply with his request with
pleasure:
courage and lack of leadership has not
been given TO the public for many day
than the address of the Virginia state
Committee of the Republican party. AIter
courageous batting for many years tne
party is hidden to disband. Its last Dattie
was one of it's bravest. and its enemy Is
even now badly divided and demoraiized.
Yet il is advised not TO nght or even W
hold a convention. Who is II that thus
counses? We do not know them. Ihey
are new leaders. If leaders at all They
have obtained by some means recognition
with the administration, and are getting
the best offices for themselves. Yet they
will not call a convention, and VIII not
fight This state of affairs may be pleas
ant and profitable for them. But IL VIII
ruin the party. Our advice to Virginia
Republicans is TO take the matter in hand
and have a convention. III they 90 no
more they can choose their own leaders.
The American was the first paper 10
sound warning to the Republicans or
Virginia, and its editorials haye been
quoted all over the country. Inc rev
men who are trying to disorganize TIE
party are becoming known, thanks TO the
value of publicity, and we have reasons
to believe that the administration VIII
soon express its sentiments towards those
who want to get offices, and yet Will not
fight a party battle.
is this the spirit Of Virginia Republi-
cans? Are they afraid to go into an
election? Is their way Of perpetuating
and strengthening a party organization
a scheme to lay down and quit? They
never had a better opportunity than they
have this year to uphold the principles
OF sound money and protection. and yet
the managers, in their hunger for few
Federal spols. are willing 10 disorsanize
and demoralize the entire party. 1t Is a
miserable exhibition OF mercenary poll
ties. and we invite the attention of the
Virginia Republicans TO what has just
been done in Maryland. where the people
arose and knocked out office-seeking boss
ism so completely that the bosses are yet
to find out what struck them.
BE men. Republicans of Virginia, and
show TO the country that you have in you
enough patriotism and self-respect 10
fight.
