IN POLICE COURT.
MAUS, THE PLUMBER, IN TROUBLE
AGAIN-AN INDIGNANT VAC.

William Maus, the police court plumber,
whose work does not meet with the APP
prevail of the city engineer, and whose
license has been revoked, was before
Judge Terrell this morning, charged with
doing business without a license. He
pleaded not guilty and his case was con-
tinued until tomorrow. AS he was leav-
ing, Clerk OLeary suggested that it
would be proper for Maus to pay the
fine taxed against hin about 10 days
ago. Maus feigned surprise, and the
judge told him he had better get out and
rustic. Maus said the policeman, in ar
resting him, had broken open his door,
and he estimated the damage to be about
$40, the amount of his former fine, and
he wanted to call it a stand off, with
the judge, but his honor could not see it
that way. Maus promised to pay and
was allowed to go.
Henry Mohler. another plumber who
has been doing business without a
license, entered a plea of guilty and was
fined $40.
John Kinney. the fresh Individual who
assaulted Chief Flannery Of the fire de-
partment about ten days ago because
the chief refused to give him money, was
in court this morning, charged with va

about the charge and made an eloquent
appeal to the judge, in which he stated
that he considered it all outrage to ar
rest an honest and horny-handed work.
ing man for v~agrancy. He entered a plea
of not guilty. His case will be heard to-
morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock.
John Kelly, another vagrant, who
looked as though he might be so years
of age, told the court that he had an
aunt who would be glad to support him
if he was allowed to go. He was sent to
Jail for 20 days.
J. w. Smith, who was arrested last
night for %assaulting D.. NJ. Brobeck,
pleaded not guilty. 1t seems that Bro
beck instituted garnishment proceedings
against Smith, from which Smith came
very near losing his position. and the
first opportunity that presented itself,
which was yesterday, Smith proceeded to
play even. The case will be heard to-
morrow afternoon.

A DOUBLE TRACK,

On the heels of the announcement that
the Washoe company will construct its
big smelling plant at Anaconda this
summer comes a rumor that the Butte,
Anaconda & Pacific Railway
will shortly commence the construction
of another track from Butte to Ana
conda, to parallel the present line. The
announcement is more than a rumor. 1t
comes from semi-official sources, in a
way, but in such manner
that some credence is given to it. 1t is
known that under the present conditions
the road has about all it can do to
handle the tremendous ore traffic ema-
mating from the Anaconda and St. Law
renee properties, and with the compile
ton of the Washoe smelling plant, which
is a certainty of the immediate future,
will make the double track a necessity.
The local officials of the B.. A. & P,
deny all knowledge of the contemplated
Improvement, but that does not prevent
the Inter Mountain from giving the news
for what it is worth to the public for the
first time,

Harvey Cullom, who has been erecting
machinery at Homestake for the Lucy
Mining company, arrived in the city
Yesterday. During the cold snap the mer-
Jury took a drop out there to "A degrees
below zero. and. with about four feet OF
snow on the mountains, life in that To-
cality was anything but pleasant.
The Lucy Mining company is a Chicago
concern in which the proprietors of the
Staats-Zeitung of that city are interested,
The properties owned are the Homestake
and Mountain chief claims, in the Home
stake district. The former was owned
by I. N. Chaplin of this city and the latter
by William Thompson and A. M. Hotter
of Helena. There is said to be very large
quantities Of low grade ore in sight in
both properties.
The Chicago capitalists started to put
in a Tremaine mill, but will discard this
for a 20-stamp battery, which will be
erected this spring.

A TON OF GOLD.

The recent reported rich strike at the
Isabella mine. in Cripple Creek, in which
it was reported that ore running $500, 900
to the ton in gold had been struck, has
given rise to much speculation as to the
value of a ton of gold. At $20.67 per
ounce, a ton (troy weight of gold would
amount to only $496. $50. 1t is said, how
ever, that there is no ton in troy weight.
A ton avoirdupois contains 1000 pounds,
each pound containing 16 ounces, and
each ounce 1917 grains. 1t follows that
there are just IA, 900, 600 grains in a ton.
An ounce, troy weight, contains 4S0
grains, and a brief exercise in simple
division will demonstrate that there are
29,166 2-3 troy ounces in a ton avoirdu-
pois. At $2O.67 per ounce the value of a
ton Of pure gold is $500 ,S75.

THE WATSEKA.

z. w. Merritt, who is managing the
Watseka mine at Rochester basin for
McCune, Hoge & Brownlee, was in the
city his week purchasing machinery.
At a depth of about 120 feet on the new
shaft a big flow of water was encoun-
tered, which necessitated the purchase
of pumping machinery. Four Nc. 8 Cam
eron sinking pumps ave been ordered.
They will be placed in the shaft, which
will be developed to the 200-foot level,
and after a station is cut a big station
pump will handle the water from this
point. The greatest drawback to min
ing in the basin is the fact that an enor-
nous quantity of water has to be
handled. The Watseka is the most prom

CHARGED WITH FORGERY.

The charge against Patrick Tuohy, who
was arrested yesterday for obtaining
goods under false pretenses, may be
changed to forgery. Tuohy has a brother
who is a shift boss in the ST. Lawrence,
and he has contracted the habit of get
ting supplies, particularly whisky, of the
Hennessy Mercantile company on his
brothers order. The brother recently
gave instructions to the Hennessy COM
pany antagonistic to this scheme, and
yesterday, when Tuohy presented an or
der for more whisky, he was arrested.

appearance of the quartz indicates that
it is likely to carry high values, being
exactly like that in the Republic n in
the Princess Maud shaft.
This discovery is nearly 800 feet south
of the Princess Maud shaft, and no one
questions that it is on the same ledge. 1t

Princess Maud for about $50 feet, and

of a half-dozen shots by our advanee-guard
told us we had struck Morgan's outpost.
Col. Kautz instantly pushed his command
forward at a brisk gait. Debouching from
the river hills into the Valley of the Ohio
near Burlington Island, we developed Nor
gans force, where it had been delayed by
fog, waiting for daylight to ford the river
into West Virginia. Morgan's 1000 horse
men were in the lower end of valley that
lay between the hills and the river.

gan the descent into the middle of the valley

Immediately upon arrival; our two pieces of

struggle With q Bear.

It ia doubtful il more vicious pnementos

Ambrose Larsen, of Sehome, Wash, nov
on his way to San Francisco to secure
surgical treatment for fearfully -mangled
arm. The mementos are four tushes
taken from the head of a brown bear, the
animal which inflicted the injury to the
arm.
Larsen's narrative of the incidents to a
Tacoma News reporter was as follows:
az have pre-empted on quarter section
of lard lying about eight miles back OF
Sehome. There / have been living with
my family for the past six years. In the
latter part OF last September two OF my
pigs were killed by bears. built dead

by. Sept %, on visiting the trap, found
an immense brown bear in IL. The log oil
the trap had fallen across its Launches
and broken it's back. The animal was
alive, however, and full of fight. | put
two bullets from my Winchester into ITS
head and the bear turned over as II dead.

No sooner had my hand touched his head
than, with a snap there was no avoiding
he raised and caught me by the right arm
lust above the elbow, sinking his tuShes
deep TO the bone. At the same time ne
sent his claws into the leg of my night
boot.
Fortunately I had brought my Win
chester into the pit with me, and had
leaned it against the side, as it happened
within reach OF my left hand. The bear
had me securely pinioned, and | could
feel his tushes crunching on the bone ol
my arm. What the agony was you can
only imagine; cannot describe IT.
Getting the rifie-stock between my
knees. | managed to work the loading
lever with my left hand and placing the
muzzie OF the gun fairly into the bear S
right eye, fired. The shot sent the big
brute into its dying throes. Like wise
its Jaws settled down on my already
crushed arm, until 1T seemed that 1ieSh
and bone must sunder, and the weight
of the bears head and shoulders would
tear the arm away.
Getting another cartridge into the rifle

the barrel of the gun alongside this where
