MILES MUST PROVE
HIS STATEMENT

Washington, Feb. 3.-The indications
are a court of inquiry will be ordered to
investigate and report upon the truth
or falsity of the statements alleged to
have been made by Miles, in which the
quality of beef furnished the troops dur
ing the late war was brought ;uto ques-
ton. The matter was discussed at sornc
length at today's cabinet m letting, and
although no definite decision WAS reached,
the concensus of opinion was such pro-
ceedings should be had.
1t was argued that if the packels who
furnished beef to the army had fraulu-
lently supplied an article as charged by
Miles, the country had a right 20 know it,
and if the charges had no foundation the
people had an equal right to know that
fact. 1t was also agreed chat Miles
should not be suspended from office as
commander OF the army pending such
investigation. 1t is not believed any ac-
ton will be taken, however, until the
war investigating committee has malG
it's report, which is expected within a
few days.
The cabinet also discussed the sanitary
conditions of Havana, and Gen. Brooke
Will be instructed to proceed as apidIy
as possible in his work Of ~renovating the
city.
1t IS the expectation that the wa in
~VeStigating committee will submit its
report to the president next Monday. Nc
one outside the commission is Supposed
to know what the nature Of the report
will be.
The method which is to be adopted
namely a court of inquiry to pass por
Miles conduct, is taken to Indicate 6
knowledge on the part of the administra.
ton of what the report will have to say
as bearing upon Miles charges. Tn
common impression is the court of in.
quiry can be ordered only upon the de,
mand Of the officer whose conduct is tC
be made the subject of investigation
While that is usually the case, there is
however, a reserve power in the preSi-
dent to order such court. regardless Of The
wishes of the officer concerned. The au.
thority is contained in article 115 of tn
articles of war. Miles. on being informed
of the currently reported court of inquiry
in store for him said, after thorough con.
sideration he decided to say nothing OF
the subject.

"MOllie A. Gibson" to Work In
Alder Gulch.
WILL BE MOVED THIS SPRING
From G%tassh0pper Greek. Near BAN
mack, to the OH Diggings
Near Virginia City.

Ed L. Smith, superintendent of the
Maggie A. Gibson dredge boat, one Of
the Bannack dredges which has made
much money for it's owners. is in the city.
The Maggie Gibson Mr.. Smith says,
has been operating very successfully for
the past three years, but has extracted all
the gold in the ground of it's owners, and
Will be removed to the mouth of Alder
gulch and put in position in the diggings
of the Conrey Placer Mining company.
Mr.. Smith is here to make arrangements
to this end. e
The dredge is quite a cumbersome affair
but Mr.. Smith is of the opinion that he
will have it in position and in running or
der by May !, in time for the opening Of
the placer season. The ground which it
is designed to work is situated at the
mouth of Alder gulch, and for 80 years
was the ranch property of a prosperous
farmer. Some one conceived the idea that
the Alder gulch pay streak ought to cons
tinue through the farm, bonded the props
erty at a nominal price. and spent all one
season prospecting, with such good re-
suits that n syndicate of ST. Louis and
Boston capitalists became interested and
the bond was taken up. Last year an eX-
pensive plant was installed, consisting
of an immense crane from which was SuS-
pended a peculiar. bowl-shaped steam
shovel, in four sections, hinged, which
was designed to enter the gravel sripper-
fashion, close while in the gravel, and be
raised with it's load of gravel to a hopper,
about 20 feet above the gravel. After be-
ing placed in the hopper the gravel was
worked off in an ordinary Sluice. This
machine was very generally criticised by
placer mining experts, but those in
charge insisted upon it's trial, and it was
operated all last summer. The fact that
the Bannack dredge is to take it's place
would indicate that the results from the
crane machine were not altogether satiS-
factory.
The Maggie Gibson is of the type that
has proven highly profitable in Bannack.
1t e~xcavates a place in which to float,
dumping the debris behind it as it goes
Onward. A series of buckets operated
by a powerful force, digs and eleVateS
the gravel, dumping IT into a revolving
grizzly, which stops boulderS from pass
ing through the machinery. The gravel
then passes through a screen into a SUBS
merged hopper, from where it is elevated
by means of a centrifugal pump INTO
sluice boxes. The advent of the Bannack
system of drcdges should be welcomed by
the owners of Alder gulch placer ground.

San Francisco, Feb. BIN the stories

of a particularly barbarous affair at

Englishman named Fleming and Evan

of a shocking condition of affairs in the
North China Daily News. He ascer-
tanned that the people Of ChOng had de-
termined to take the life of every for
eigner in the place, and when Mr.. Flem-
ing set foot in the town he was a doomed
man. At least 200 people witnessed the
murder from the opposite side of the
river. Evangelist Pan was suddenly and
quickly cut down. Mr.. Fleming dis
mounted from his mule to go to his as
sistance, but he, too, was attacked and
slain after a desperate conflict, in which
he was ~dreadfully wounded with a sword
and an iron spike. The two victims We're
stripped of their clothing, and their
bodies left for three days on the public

Butte is Having a Very Frigid
Experience.
NEWS FROM THE RANGES
Is That Cattle Will Suffer Severely
And 1t Is Believed the Loss
Will Be Enormous.

The weather continues cold. The ther-
mometer remains below the record marks
of former years, and the prophets, who
have been frozen, temporarily, out of
their presence of mind, and who We're
silenced for the time being by the almost
unbearable frigidity, are endeavoring to
reassert themselves, and are recalling the
cold seasons of the sere and yellow past.
When the thermometer was skirting
along the 20 below zero mark this morn
ing Judge Terrell, with icicles hanging
from his eyelashes, had the nerve to tell
a yarn about a cold winter in the early
sos, when out on the fiat below town
the thermometer registered 65 degrees
below zero.
From 8 o'clock this morning until about
1890 the register averaged, in the warm
est portion of the city, 20 degrees below,
and some uptown thermometers, in eX-
| posed places, saw this mark and went 1t
10 or - degrees lower. Out on the flat
! it is said to have been between IS and 40
below.
Reports from the sheep and cattle
growing districts of the state would in
dictate a serious loss to the cattle and

reason of the heavy fall of snow and in
tense cold. On most Of the ranges cattle
and sheep must depend upon the range
food until about February, when owners
begin to feed, and in consequence stock
are not in as good condition now as they
would be a little later, after having been
fed a few weeks. In consequence of this
condition, the loss to owners of cattle ana
sheep, if the cold weather continues, Will
be enormous, and the news from The
range sections of the state is anything
but encoura ging. A prominent cattle
grower residing in the Yellowstone cCun-
try, who is in the city, expressed himself
today as being very much coura ged
at the condition Of the weather. He stated
hat the losses from the storm would
make heavy inroads on the years margin,
d if indeed it did not absorb it entirely. lie
also said that the sheep-men would be
the heaviest losers. Already some re-
ports are coming in of the smothering
by the "piling up process Of big flocks' OF
sheep.
Local weather prophets predict that
the present cold snap will be broken VI
by Sunday.
