report comes from ndian through
Fort Simpson. and an expedition m

investigate the matter. should this
prove true IL would be one of the good
things which have resulted from the
overland route TO the Klondike. While
that route has proved quite as feasible
as expected at first, IL has not dom
much. There has been no great rush
overland for the frozen Eldorado such
as the people of this city had expected
to profit by, but the country up there
has been thoroughly explored along the
lines of travel and considerable of min

has returned to Edmonton from the
neighborhood Of Fort Resolution with
specimens of galena and quartz which
look very promising. though no assay of
them has yet beer made. He is on his

From the Great Slave lake come other
reports of finds. Several parties OF pros

will secure much valuable information

CLOSED THEIR SESSION.
Teachers Institute Conciude, a Profit
able Convention.

Great Falls. Dec. 23.-The very inter-
esting teachers institute to-day con-
cluded a three days session. which has
been OF great profit to all OF those who
attended. The Neihart teachers were
excused last night, so that they might
take the train home in time To spend
Christmas there. Otherwise the attend
ance was fully as large as on previous
days. S. a. Remington, principal Of the
Belt schools, read a very interesting
paper on Geography" which he Illus
trated by means of a pulp map Of Mon

papers boiled for several hours and then
applied to a solid foundation. He ex-
planned that the same work could be
done with stucco or clay. There was
also a class OF primary reading, con-
Quoted by Miss Sarah Conner, with pu-
pills from the first grade in the Long
fellow building. Considerable discus
sion followed in which many of the
teachers took part. Miss Collins fol-
lowed with a class in primary numbers
and this llkewise called out discussion.
The exercises were enlivened by read

SOME FIREWORKS.
Enormous Masses of Rocks viii He Re-
moved by Powder.

Great Falls. Dec. 23.-Some time next
week there will be as fine a display of
fireworks as one may see in a dozen
Fourth of July celebrations. The OBJ
ject of the display. however, is no mere
celebration. The Montana Central rail-
way is at work making some long
needed improvements on its grades be-
tween this city and Belt. For the most
part a steam shovel il employed, but
where the big hill just beyond Box
Elder is being cut down a stratum of
cement" a formation which is COM
posed of small rocks n a filing Of
cementing sand, has been encountered
and which resists effectually the action
of the shovel. The stratum is from
three to six feet thick and Ii as tough
as II Is possible TO find. Drills make
impressions upon II but slowly and are
worn out rapidly. Blasting from the
surface is TOO expensive. After a num-
Der of experiments the engineers in
charge of the work have driven a tun-
mel some 400 or more feet long with
chambers located here and there along
Il. These chambers will be filled with
powder, q fuse attached. and at the
proper minute the whole ledge will be
blown up. one chamber exploding after
the other. 1t will require about a car
load OF powder. n the resulting ex-
plosions will be more than a thousand
giant crackers.

Ready to proceed with the hearing,
Deputy County Attorney Stivers, who
appeared for the tate, addressed the

victed of stealing from a store and
sentenced to four months in the county
Jail. The two met in an Arizona street
saloon on the night of Dec. s and

The Fanita's Mission.

CAPE HAYTIEN, Hayti, June 1.-The
steamer Fanits, which arrived here
Tuesday half empty, bringing from New
York provisions for the navy, which
she landed at Matthewtown, in the Ba-
hamas, slipped away at about 10 o'clock
that night, with between seven and fl
teen Dominicans added to her crew.
She was to touch at Monte Cristi, Do
minican Republic, or just outside, to
ill up the empty portion of her hold.
She has on board Chris Roberts, the
most famous pilot of the West Indies.
The captain of the Fanita said that the
portion of her cargo which was not
landed consisted of COAL but there is
good reason to suppose that it is
something very different from coal.
The Spanish consul here denounces the
taking on board the steamer of Spanish
speaking roustabouts and the sudden
sailing of the vessel without the per-
mission of the Dominican consul, and
has entered formal protest with the
Haytien authorities. There are large
numbers of Cubans in Dominica who
desire TO return to Cuba and take part
in the war, and the Spaniards of this
place believe that it may te q part oil
the mission of the Fanita to afford these
Cubans transportation, at the same
time furnishing them with arms and
ammunition.
