ARE BUYING MUCH COAL.
England and America Storing Fuel
in the Northwest.

New York, May lS.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says
Great Britain is evidently preparing for
a crisis which she expects will occur i'll
the far east. Official Information which
has been received at the navy department
shows that She is buying up great guam,
titles of coal i'll the far western states and
is storing it at her yard at Esquimalt.
The cause for Great Britain's action Is
not known in naval circles, but it is
thought that the British government de-
sires to have on hand large supply OF
fuel, which will be useful for her squad
ron in Asiatic waters in case the situation
should be productive of war.
Because of these purchases the price OF
coal has gone up and the navy depart
ment is compelled to pay Il higher rate
per ton than heretofore. For the purpose
of preventing dealers taking advantage
of the government, as we'll as for the ben
eft of the naval ships, the navy depart
ment determined to store coal OF its own
on Puget sound, and Secretary Long has
directed Civil Engineer Endicott to build
coal shed at that point. 1t is proposed
to keep 5000 tons ON hand so that naval
ships will not suffer delay or embarrass-
ment when they put into Puget sound for
repairs or docking at the navy yard

MURDER OF A BUTTE BANKER
L. j. Riley Being Tried for Killing
Patrick Largely.

Helena, Mont, May 1.-THE trial of
Thomas J. Riley, the Butte miner who
killed Patrick Largely, the millionaire
banker of Butte, began here yesterday,
the state having taken change of venue.
Forty witnesses from Butte are present,
and the trial is attracting much attention
because of the fact that the miners union
is aiding the defense. Largey was inter
ested in the company that owned the
warehouses that were blown up two years
ago and Riley was one of the many vie
tins. He was crippled for life, and be-
cause Largely would not support him he
killed Largey. The witnesses yesterday
testified to technical facts, including the
death of Largely. The defense is insanity

week will after this week increase the
working force and double the production

work is now being prosecuted ON the 400

ont causing much confusion and possible
loss. as he is the only one familiar with
the details of the states complicated land
business. Consequently the board refused
to accept the resignation.
1t seems probable from the action OF
the state land board at Boise, that the
states holdings in the white pine belt
will soon be placed on the market This
will be followed if a satisfactory price can
be reached, by the speedy completion OF
the Moscow & Eastern. and the building
of immense saw mills for the manufacture
of the timber. After a full discussion of
the matter the following resolution was
adopted: "Resolved, That the lands here
tofore selected by the state in what IS
known as the white pine belt, in Latah
and Shoshone counties, and aggregating
1920 acres, together with the timber
thereon, be appraised at the earliest pos
sible date and that two or more capable
persons be appointed to appraise the same,
and that in making such appraisement
the lands described in the application OF
c. H. Bradley, and aggregating 4l,2OO
acres, be first appraised and reported to
this board" c. H. Bradley is a promi-
nent Duluth lumbcrman.

Lump GuIch.

This phenomenally high grade silver
district is again coming to the front. 1t
includes section of country along Lump
creek in the northern part of Jefferson
county Montana, probably six or seven
miles in length by four or five in width,
When prospected but slightly on the sur
face by men of limited means, the fall OF
silver caused an abandonment OF many
promising claims and the final shutting
down of most OF the producing mines. The
Liverpool, Little Nell and one or two 9th
err properties were worked in desultory
manner, but the life and spirit had gone
out of the district. But of late there has
been pronounced revival. the discoy-
cry of new and valuable ore bodies in va
rious properties has created new interest
in the district. The extraction of high
grade ore from the Crescent has been fol-
lowed by the developments on the Rose.
The latter property, under bond and lease
TO George Hollenback, has been developed
by tunnel which caught the vein when
