ne IS STAR PERFORMER
Herman Boy Has a Penchant for
Glass Sandwiches.
TO PRESERVE HIS TEETH
He Tool Four or Five Lunches OF the
Kind Before He Was Thrown Into
Jail for Drunkenness-His Stom-
ach a Glaciers Shop.

Great Fails, July 24-There are
enough characters in the city Jail to-
night to equip a company to play a
dramatized edition of Charles Dickens
novels. but most of them are in on
charges of drunkenness or other petty
~cfYenses. The star performer of the
lot is a Russian Finlander who was
brought in this afternoon by Officer
Curry, who found him wandering on
the street helplessly trunk. When he
was first thrown in the officers thought
he was a little nutty. as well as drunk,
but this evening when the Standard
reporter visited the Jail he had recov-
cred, n to all appearances he was
both sober and sane. His chief utility
in a would be to give glass
eating exhibitions between acts. He
had been doing that all day before ar
rest, having, as he said, and as the Of
ficers learned by inquiry. made some
four or five lunches of this kind dur
ing the time. Tonight at the jail he
offered TO repeat the performance, but
as there is no doubt of his ability in
that line his offer was declined.
His name is Herman Boy, and he says
that since he was Is years old he has
been obliged to eat glass to preserve
his teeth or his health or something or
the sort. His free exhibitions this af-
ternoon consisted in walking into a
saloon and calling for a glass of beer.
When II had been served he would de-
liberately bite a mouthful out of the
glass. and then, powdering this frag-
ment with the bottom of the mug,
spread the pieces on bread and con
tentedly munch this glass sandwich
and drink the beer. He said tonight
that he had to do this about twice a
day, Inc a fellow inmate of the Jail,
who had been working with him on
the section, corroborated the statement.
His teeth. which he proudly exhibited,
were worn dow by this iii of treat
ment, but were apparently still SOUND
and strong. n he expanded a chest
which would nave done honor to any
member of the force. He has been earn
ing a livelihood by common labor. but
came into the city yesterday n has
INDUCED in too much booZe. He begged
TO be let out, that he might go to work
again, n he will probably be released
tomorrow morning. The curious part
of his performance is hat he never
cuts his lips or mouth while engaged
in his gustatory feat. and more than
that, his health has never suffered
from the glaciers shop which he must
at times carry inside his body.

Dawson. confirms the statement. The
letter was written to a friend I'm Fort
Benton and received yesterday. IL says:
Dawson Is a typical mining town.
with its tents, log buildings and cabins.
Just what its present population is
would be hard to estimate. as the hills
are covered with tents and hundreds
are living in their boats along the river.
There have been no rich strikes recent
ly, m the crowd is becoming uneasy
in consequence. Men are prospecting
over the country in all directions. and
quite a number have gone down the
river to the American side. As for the
mines around Dawson. there are GER
tainly a few very rich claims. All the
mining is done in the winter. The
dumps have all been washed out, and
throughout the summer there is very
little work to be had in the camp.
Two Yukon steamboats, that were
frozen in last winter have arrived at
Dawson. but no trough boats from
the outside have yet reached this point.
Meals at all hotels are $3.50 and up.
The wage rate has been $40 a day. but
some parties are making a cut to $3.50.
Most men could make more money
working for wages in Montana. as en-
ployment in the Klondike is not steady.
/ have not been here long enough TO
form a well considered opinion OF the
country. but my early impression is
that the crowd Is sold.
Provisions are plentiful here. but
they are mostly controlled by second
hand dealers. The two big stores (Hea-

can be bought at reasonable prices.

Special Dispatch TO the Standard.
Wallace. Idaho. July 23.-Parties over
from De Borgia. Mont, report that -four
feet of shipping ore has been cut in the
Rock Island at a depth OF 260 feet. The
ledge is 10 feet wide. with more or less
ore all the way between walls. A num-
Der of mining men have been on the
ground and pronounce IL one OF the big
gest things hat has ever been uncov-
cred in this part of the world. The
stock of the company is largely owned
here. and this report. together with
samples of the ore which came over
yesterday. has made a good feeling in
many quarters. The property is six or
seven miles northeast from De Borgia,
being probably Is miles in an air line
east of here.
