can fleet. was to the officers and men
like red rag waved before mad
bull. Lieutenant Decatur determined
to capture 1t, and to this end started
out from the blockading fleet on dark
night with eight men, besides himself.
The boat drew under the wall of the
fertilization before it was discovered
by those within, and owing to the con-
struction of the fort. the latter were
unable to fire upon it at such a short
angle. Johnson was selected to climb
the pile and bring down the flag. He
got to the top safely but just as he
was grasping the halyards he received
terrific blow on the head, which sent
him down the side and into the water.
He was picked up by the boat and an
other seaman sent up. He met with
the same reception, and Johnson was
sent up the second time, only to be
bowled over a second time. Then Lieu
tenant Decatur gave up the attempt
and returned to the ship. 1t appeared
that there was an aperture through the
apex of the pile and by reaching
through this with a gun the Spanish
defenders could hit the Americans a
hard rap on the head each time they
reached the staff. The flag was later
surrendered to the American fleet on
the capituiation of Santiago.
While Johnson is now strong, ro-
bust appearing young man of about 145
pounds weight, he says that he weighed
1856 when he entered the navy, and only
12O when he was discharged. While he
saw great many interesting things
during his cruises in Cuba and Porto
Rican waters, he feels that he has had
his share of that kind of life, and is
willing to settle down in some more
prosaic business.

needed tender care and nursing. The

THE GAIT AT NE|HART
Preparing to Do Considerable
Work On This Mine.
THE ORE BODIES IN SIGHT
Mine Has Been Idle for Some Time
Owing to the Low Price of
Silver - The Present
Operations.

Great Falls, Feb. 13.--Among the
mines of Neihart which are preparing
to do more work in the near future is
the Gait. At one time the mine paid
some very satisfactory dividends, but
in the past few years the price of silver
has been so low that the mine could
not be worked at a satisfactory profit
and in consequence the mine has lain
idle. Recently ]. L. Neihart one of
the principal owners, has gone to work
on a gradually increasing scale, until
there is now a force of a dozen men
at work and this force will be increas-
ed very soon. A recent visitor to the
mine gives the following description of
the workings and the various bodies
in sight:
THE present work is reached through
the Queen tunnel. at distance of 1900
feet from the entrance. The last few
hundred feet of this tunnel were run by
the Gait who thus reached their vein $50
feet below the main adit of the Gait
A raise from the lower tunnel has been
made to connect with a winze from
the Gait tunnel, the two coming togeth-
er about 2So feet above the lower tun-
mel.
In company with Mr.. Neihart we
climbed the ladders and visited the va
rious subterranean places of interest
Seventy-five feet above the Queen tun-
mel is a level run to the north few
feet, and in this there are two men
working. In this level IS inches of ore
is exposed which assays about S5
ounces. The miners are putting in
chutes at this point and stopping on the
pay streak. The ore is sulphide of lead
and silver.
up the raise another 65 feet and we
reach another drift to the north, which
show even better than the works below.
Three feet of high-grade rock is now
overhead and the chute is persistent.
The ore Is solid sulphide.
"One hundred and fifty feet farther
up the raise we reached the station
connecting the raise with the Wine.
Here considerable prospecting has been
done by former operator to ascertain
the direction of the ore, but the efforts
seem to have been futile. At this level
Mr.. Neihart has two men working on
body of manganese ore seven to - feet
in width, of which he is going to ship
a car for trial.
Here, and 60 feet farther up, is found
to the south a streak of ore whose
length cannot be known, which assays
300 to 400 ounces per ton, besides con-
siderable lead. At several places this
ore chute is foot in width No one
has yet gone to work on it., but before
many days the drills will be working
their way into it.
THE present manager has shown
commendable enterprise in undertaking
this work. which at present indicates
no possible failure. The stockholders
of the Gait are to be congratulated up
on the visions of dividends to be realiz-
ed at no distant day"

A Neighborhood Quarrel.

Great Falls, Feb. 13-The momen-
tous case of the state of Montana
against Mrs. N. F. Pettingill. charged
with assault upon the person of Mrs.
Hannah Conner, was tried in the JUS
tice court of Judge Race this after
noon. The judge called time and then
the witnesses went at it and each
other. The testimony seemed to be
against the accused, and a fine of $40
was imposed and paid. The trouble
seemed to be one of those neighborhood
rows which will arise some times and
more or less feeling was exhibited on
either side.

LOST A PRIZE.
Chief Guerin Might Have Been Richer
by Thousands.

Great Falls, Feb 13.-Chief Guerin of
the Great Falls police department is
shy several thousand dollars in his
bank account. At least that is the
way he figures it. During the summer
he received one of those circulars which
remind one of slavery days 1t was
dated at London, Ont, and it offered
a fat reward for the arrest and return
of one Made Brown, negro, wanted
in that place for killing a policeman.
This is not always considered a serious
offense on this side of the line, but in
Canada it meets with severe punish
ment. In looking over the files of the
police record the chief discovered that
a negro answering the description given
in the circular had been in jail. one of
the fruits of the nightly drag net for
Migrants. He Immediately set out to
capture the man, who had been floated
in the meantime. but his search was
in vain. Later Guerin found that the
man had been captured in Yakima,
WASH, and comparing the description,
he felt sure that the valuable man
had slipped out of his grasp. This sus-
picion was confirmed day or two
ago when he received a letter from the
marshal at London asking for the par
ticulars of Browns visit to this city.

After the hair is clean keep it SO by
