NICKEL STEEL PLANT.
Deposits of Nickel Ore Will Be Util-
lied on Very Large Scale.

Sheridan, Wyo., April 26-One of the
most important industries in Wyoming
will be started in this country during
the present spring. This is the mining
and manufacture, from ore discovered
near this place, of nickel steel. The
company is composed of wealthy east
ern men. The general manager of the
company is G. F. Mclaughlin, who is
here with Henry Schraub, electrician, to
commence the work of putting up the
plant. The company has 20 locations
of the nickel ore, each lode being from
20 to 80 feet wide, making a tremendous
amount of available matter and neces-
stating the erection of immense reduc-
lions works, shelters, etc. About TO-
600 pounds of mining machinery is now
on the road from the east and a carload
will arrive here Monday. The motive
power for the works will consists of a
turbine water wheel of 125 horse power,
to be used to generate electricity and
also run the air compressOrS of which
there will be four. The air compressors
will run the diamond drills and will
obviate the use of steam. The mines
will be furnished with electric lights
and automatic conveyors will be used
in place of the ordinary mine cars to
bring the ore to the surface. The ca
bic for this work is of steel wire rope
1900 feet in length.

had the indictments of Police Commits
sioner Phillips and Theodore B. Willis,
former commissioner of city works in
Brooklyn, under consideration. Isles
accepted a bride of 5000 with which to
begin the nefarious work, which, when
completed, was to have been rewarded
by the payment of S., 900.

ssGAVE ITSELF AWAY"
A Cory Souvenir From Cuba Which
Proved Cheat.

Washington. April GA mysterious
package arrived at one of the private
schools in this city the other day. 1t was
addressed to a western girl, and besides
the card of a young newspaper man, who
has recently come back from Havana, it
contained machete, real Cuban ma
chete- The knife was twenty inches long,
with a heavy blade, painted blood red to
within an inch of the cutting edge. The
steel was widened at the lower end and
bent into a hollow handle. The weapon
was as frightful an implement as you
would care to see, and the girls, of course,
were delighted with it.
Cant you fancy" said the proud pos
SCISSOR. ''as you look at this rude knife,
fastness of the cuban HIS forged t ils
weapon to fight for his country and his
home? Can't you fancy him beating
prayers into the Steel?''

small and inconspicuous label pasted on
the blade. Made in Hartford, Conn.," it

LIAR, SAYS FORAKER.
His Telegram to the Editor of the
State journal in Columbus.

Cincinnati. April 26.-The Ohio State
Journal OF Columbus has helped to fight
Mckinley's political battles these many
years. Mark Hanna has had no more
aggressive support in any newspaper of
the United States than in its columns
In a long editorial article on last
Tuesday the paper said a factiouS mi
nority of the senate, dictated to by Will
liam J. Bryan and assisted by Senator
Foraker, had succeeded in bringing
about diSgracefu1 deadlock. 1t quot
ed and Endorsed some one that the
ma Crity in the senate would sooner
drive Mckinley out of the White House
than the Spanish out of Cuba"
1t also declared:
1.-The course of Senator Foraker is not
surprising to those who know the facts.
His ambitions, his jealousies, his ami
doubts that personal feeling has
prompted his course. The innuendoes
which a few Democrats and Senator
Foraker INDUCED in regarding the eff
feet of Cuban independence upon Span
ish bonds are likely to lead to inquiries
that may be embarrassing
Today the Journal prints the follow
ing telegram and comments on it ex-
haustively:
Washington, D. c., April &C.
Samuel C. Mcclure, Editor Ohio State
your late editorial regarding my
course on the Cuban question has been
read to me by telephone. Every charge
and every insinuatio contained in 1T
is lie and the author of the same is a
liar. ]. B. FORAKER
The Journal, after expressing surprise
that Senator Foraker should fly into
such passion at it's simple calling at
tention to rumor, says it is gratifying
to note that Forakers idea of the honor
and duty of a United States senator are
less selfish and loftier than when first
elected.
1t says the senator appeared before
the legislature that elected him as the
King Bee Lobbyist" for notorious"
fifty years street railway franchise
bill, ito tie the people of his own home,
hand and foot. to a heartless corpora
ton" 1t says Mr.. Foraker's friends
have sought to load upon Mr.. Hanna
the odium of that legislation to hide
their own tracks 1t is asserted in
Cincinnati that this outbreak will tend
still further to delay the federal ap-
pointments here.

WILDCAT GOLD MINES.
Dismal View of Man Who Writes
From the Klondike.

Portland, Ore, April go E. Will
son, formerly employed on the con-
struction of the Cascade locks, and who
left with five other men from there for
Dawson on the first trip of the Elder
last July, in a personal letter to a, friend
gives interesting glimpSeS of affairs in
the Klondike country, albeit they have
a blue tinge.
The letter was written at Dawson on
February g. and the material parts of it
follow:
1T is not nearly so glorious in here
as we all imagined on the outside. 1t
is true that there are a few rich claims
on the Ell Dorado and the Bonanza, but
they cost lots of money. The rest Of
the creek don't amount to much, except
ing bunker, Dominion and Sulphur,
which have some good claims. But,
again, there are more claims poor, some
ION Henderson creek some fair pros
poets are found. People are nearly
crazy stalking claims. All the creek bot
toms and clear to the tops of the noun
tains the land is staked. On the lower
Bonanza, from Discovery down to
Klondilxe, there are only a few spots of
pay ground of the entire 120 claims. A
lot of spectators are gathering up
these wildcat claims to sell them out
side.
Claims that pay anywhere near
wages find a ready market here. The
rich ground is from Discovery to claim
No. so, on the Bonanza, and from the
forks to about No. 40 on the Ell Dorado.
Even among these there are a few that
are nearly worthless.
Now, if you have the fever so you
have to come, you would better bring
plenty of money along, so you can get
out, for that will be the first thing you
will think of after getting here. There
are plenty of chances to get lay, but
the chances are 20 to 1 that you don't
pay expenses.
The winter has been fine so far. The
coolest weather was so degrees below,
on December 1. But I did not suffer
as much with cold as L have at the Cas-
cade locks. The trip coming in is not
severe. Work is going to be scarce next
summer. Men have been going in
droves looking for work. and unable to
find it. There is lots of sickness here,
such as scurvy, fever, rheumatism,
and pneumonia The hospital is full and
running over.
Il have been working claim % on Ell
Dorado, and the dirt ranges about 80
cents to the pan. Claims "a, 25 and 20
sold for 81, $50, 900, but that is more mon
ey than there is gold in them. Claim 80
is the richest known Two men shoveled
into the sluiceboxes seventeen hours,
and the clean up was $21 600 The coun-
try is staked for about 100 miles around
here"

SENATOR HANNA'S NIECE
Welded Month Ago Returns to Her
Mother

Columbus, O., April fascinating of
social sensation was created here today
when it was announced that Mrs. Edward
Drexel Castleton of Washington Court
House had returned to her mothers home
in Chicago. Mrs. Cast1eton is the niece
of Senator Mark Hanna and is well known
in Cincinnati, Washington and Chicago
society. Her married life has not been Of
more than a months duration.
Before leaving, Mrs. Castleton called in
a number of newspaper men and told
them that the cause of her action was
that her husband had deceived her as to
the amount of his possessions, and had
also abused her. She also said that her
mother had advised her to take the step
and had furn shed the necessary money
Mr.. Castleton denies that he represented
himself a wealthy man, and also denies
that he ever abused his wife. A suit for
divorce will in all probability be filed, Mrs.
Castleton having consulted a lawyer to
that end.
Mrs. Castleton, who was Miss Okalla
Hanna, is the daughter of the late Bay
less w. Hanna, who was at one time min
lister to the Argentine Republic. The
marriage took place in Cincinnati March
