ANDREE' 5 PROBABLE FATE.
REMAINS OF THE BALLOON SAID
TO HAVE BEEN FOUND.
Norwegian Sailors Story-Prince Louis
of Savoy May Come Upon Traces of
the Daring Explorer.
STOCKHOLM.

STOCKHOLM, January 30.-The
Swedish papers contain yet another
story of the probable fate that has be-
fallen Andree's balloon expedition to
the north pole. Professor Nathorst
has been visited by a sailor who was
member of the crew of the Antarctic
during her voyage last summer.
This sailor gives the following de-
tails of statement given to him by
the captain of a Norwegian sailing YES
sci, the Harold Haarsager:
Fourteen days before the summer
solstice of 1898 our vessel entered the
ice between Iceland and Greenland in
Sc degrees 30 minutes north latitude,
and % degrees longitude west of Green
witch. We there came across seals, and
all the boats were put out to catch
them. One boat, with a crew of tVe
men, rowed past a mass of ice upon
which a heap somewhat resembling
twigs or a bundle of steel wires. was
plainly to be seen. Unfortunately, no
further attention could be paid to the
unwonted object then, as the fog rose
and the men feared that they might
not be able to regain their ship. Hence
they rowed quickly back to the Haar-
sager.
"The sailors now express great regret
that they did not at the time pay more
attention to the heap of twigs,' and
they excuse themselves by the tact
that at the time they had not the
slightest thought of Andrees balloon"
Although little hope remains that the
mystery of the balloon will ever be
cleared, it is a fact that Prince Louis
of Savoy, the Duke of AbruzZi, has
gone to Christiana to personally super
intend the preparations for his eXpedi-
ton to the north pole. He expects to
sail this summer for the island Of
Spitzbergen, whence he will proceed to
Franz Josef Land.

Home Production.

1t is said of the homeseekers
who are daily arriving in near
ly every town and section of
the agricultural portions of the
northwest that a goodly pro-
portion will engage in manu-
featuring. Few of them ex-
pect to manufacture on a large
scale, but they see opportuni-
ties to establish little plants
which will supply the home
market with food that is now
being imported from other
states.

DECLINES 70 YIELD ITSDEAD,
Spears Party Search the Salmon River
Without Success

After spending eight DAYS on the
Salmon river in a vain attempt to
recover the bodies of the three
men recently drowned William
Spear returned to Grangeville.
"Of the three men drowned.
Mike O'Brien, Sam Shorthill and
JET Turpin, the only trace discov-
cred was OBrien's snowshoes,
Turpin's coat and one snowshoe, -
said Mr. Spear to the DAILY Press
this morning.
Il organized search party in
Florence, as soon as the survivors
reached town with news of the ac-
cident. got together eight men
there and four men on the river
making patty of twelve. The
relics mentioned we came upon
about a mile down the river from
the scene of the disaster. Turpin
who was supposed to be the boat
man of the crew had his coat off
and was rowing at the time Of the
upset, and that explains our dis
cOvery.
THE river is far too swift and
deep to attempt to drag for corps
es, 80 we used powder. We fired
off no less than fourteen sticks of
dynamite without any result.
"O'Brien has daughter some

Forks and another living in Ar
villa, Dakota. l was equal part
ner with O'Brien in all his mining
properties, and held power of at

expires with his death. Certain
transactions arranged before his
death will go through. Had he
lived, he would have received his
share of the first payment on the
Morning Star group in the Mallick
district which was made yester-
day. Both deceased and myself
owned a One-eigth interest.
"O'Brien had disposed of most
Of his Hump property before his
death. He still retained a one
seventh interest in the Allison
claim. In addition l am personal
ly interested in the Texas, to the
extent of one-half, and one-fourth
on the Boston"
Mr.. Spear goes to Spokane to-
day on business connected with
his mining property. He explains
that the first payment upon the
Morning Star group made yester.
day, is not to be regarded as first
payment but rather as a forfeit
and guarantee of good faith, prov.
ing that the 100000 deal is to GO
through.

"COARSE GOLD" CLAIM.
~ Valuable BQffalo Hump Pro.

A thousand dollars in cash
changed hands today on q bond for
he Coarse Gold and ST. Louis
Fraction claims at Buffalo Hump,
which were sold to Grangeville
parties by the owners Mat. Gilbert
and G. w. Grove for the sum of
$4,000 in close payments.
The Coarse Gold" property is
one of the few free milling PROPOSE
tions that the great mining camp
has SO far yielded. 1t is located
parallel with the St. Louis ledge
which adjoins the famous Last
Chance and Hobson's Choice lodges.
The st. Louis is one of the best
showing properties on the Hump,
and rock heavily impregnated with
free gold has been taken from this
claim, as we'll as from the parallel
claim "Coarse Gold"
The ST. Louis Fraction as it's
name implies is an extension of the
St. Louis. The original claim in
the first hasty location made was
staked out some $50 feet beyond
the limit set by law. This when
discovered was rectifed allowing
Messrs. Gilbert and Grove to get in
on a portion of a fine property.

bargain, are keeping their names

Feb. 1o.-Just as we sat
down to dinner the bugle call
..to arms was sounded, and
we left everything right on
the table and rushed to our
GUNS. We formed in column
ef tours and marched north
through Manila, about five or
civ miles till we came to the
camp of the First Montana in
front Of Caloocan; here we
rested half an hour; then we
were deployed in cline of

er two as a support. Next
came the Montanas, covering
a space of a mile front, with
the Second battalion of the
Idahos as a support. The
Kansas and First Idaho battal-
ion were fighting along the
line of the railroad through
gardens, rice fields and under.
brush, where the insurgents
were very strongly intrenched.
The Montanas and Second
Idaho battalion had an open
space of nearly 1000 yards to
charge over the insurgents
works. When order to ad.
vance was given the Montanas
sprang over the breastworks
and marched with a steady
step in the face of a whitening
fire; next we got the order
forward" we were getting
more of the fire than the men
on the line. These insurgents
always shoot high, and while
the men in front are compar-
atively safe, the bullets were
getting low enough to do a
little business with us behind,
and to make the thing worse
we couldn't fire a shot. The
Montanas were a grand sight
as they crossed that rolling
plain. STEADY they step
adown the slope, steady they
climb the hill, steady they load,
steady they fire, moving right
onward still. Then up into

kept their course with a steady
fire and grim resolve that

We plodded along after them,
lodging mauser bullets, and
got one man killed and four
wounded without having the
satisfaction Of firing a shot,
that is, the second battalion.
The first battalion had all the
hghting that any one would
want. Some Of them fired as
many as $50 shots during the
engagement. There was ter.
rlble slaughter among the ma.
tlves whenever they made any
attempts to fight. They were

several miles beyond. That

each and every man in the

ever a mon is doing well do
not try to tear him down. All

to be partners; not opponents.
In all likelihood the more the
other business men do the
more you will do. Every
business man who treats his
customers honestly courteous

and the more business he can
secure by united efforts, the
better it will be Tor all. When
a town ceases to grow it be-
gins 10 die and the more its
people try to kill each other
in their business or good names
the more rapidly will utter
