THE ANTELOPE MINES.
A Tunnel To Be Driven 3s5 Feet on the
Mountain Ram Lode.

Mountain Ram Lode.
The Mail is informed from reliable
source that extensive operations are
contemplated at the Antelope mines,
owned by Messrs Silas F. King and
James A. Murray of Butte and Frank
D. Brown, the. well-known mining man
of this city. A contract is to be let at
once for the driving of 375 feet of tun-
mel on the Mountain Ram lode. The
work completed last week by Thomas
E. Mitchell was only preparatory to
getting the ground in shape and to de-
termine the nature of the rock through
which this tunnel is to be driven
The face where Mr.. Mitchell left off
upon completion of his contract is in
good shooting ground, and the tunnel is
to be driven 315 feet further. making
400 feet in all. The work is sufficiently
under way to permit contracting miners
to judge intelligently the character Of
the country to be cut through, and Mr.
Brown is now prepared to entertain
bids for the completion of the work.
The owners Of this promising property
had contemplated to erect a cyanide
mil near the mines, but being adversed
by some parties, which has delayed the
issuance of a patent upon one Of the
claims. they have decided not to erect
any reduction works until the matter is
satisfactorily adjusted. The work Of
development, however will go on. and
the probabilities are that the mill will
go up next spring.

GERMAN MILITARY SERVICE
A Curious Method by Which 1t May
Be Avoided.

Anybody can emigrate from Germany
before he is II years old without 1un
ming the risk in case he should return,
of being forced to join the army, but he
will be allowed to remain only nine
months in Germany. If he stays longer
he becomes again German citizen and
must do military service. If he leaves
when he has been little less than nine
months in the country and stays away
for two or three weeks he can return
without running any danger and can
stay another nine months. If he does
this every nine months he can live as
long as he likes in Germany.
AS soon as a man is II years old he
cannot leave Germany without serving
in the army. He can, however, get per-
mission to leave the country until he is
20 years old if somebody is willing to
give bond that he will return and serve
his term.
In case man forfeits his bond he
cannot return to his fatherland before
he is 45 years old, as he would be
promptly arrested and sentenced to
serve a longer term than the original
one. After man is 40 years old he can
go back to Germany without being pun
ished and live there as long as he likes.
In case deserter is caught in Ger
many before he is 40 years old he is SEN
fenced to two OF three years imprison-
ment in fortress and all his personal
property is confscated - New York

Filipino Junta Issues Another virulent
Anti-American Decree.
HONG KONG, Feb. 2S.-The Filipino
government has issued another virulent
anti-American decree in which the fol-
lowing passages occur: ..a .-. ..rr
1.-The American guns respect neither
honor nor property, but barbarously
massacre women and children.
"Manila has witnessed the most hor.
rible outrages, confscating the property
and savings of the people at the point
of the bayonet and shooting the de.
fenseless, accompanied by odious acts OF
abomination, repugnant barbarism and
racial hatred worse than the doings in
Carolina, Unless you conjure a holy
war for independence you are only
worthy to be slaves and Pariahs. Pro-
claim before the civilized world that
you will fight to the death against
American treachery and brute force.
Even the women should, if necessary.
american professions and promises
