Yukon Fleet Doomed.

San Francisco May 5.-AdviCcs from the
Northwest confirm previous reports that
nearly half of the Yukon fleet is fast in
the ice and will probably be destroyed
when the spring freshet comes. Among
the vessels in danger is the Sherman of
the Alaska Exploration company. She is
near Nulato and is on Sanobar in the
middle of the river, broadsde on the cur
rent.
Four miles off the Mission is the DaW-
son City, owned by a San Francisco firm.
She is fast in the ice and with no chance
of escape The Governor Steneman, own
ed by Portland capitalists, IS about TWO
miles above the mouth of the Tanana rtv-
er. and she will probably break up when
the freshets come The May d. is also

cannot escape destruction. The Clutco.

of the Seattle-Yukon company and the
City of Chicago, owned by Chicago capt.
talsts are in a bunch a short distance
above Rampant City. They will probab bly,
be crushed to pieces by the first cake of
ice that comes down the river. The Rob

Tacoma. the Arnold and John c. Barr are
near Circle City. and there is little hope
that any of them will escape destruction.
All of these boats were engaged in gen.

STIR AMONG WRESTLERS
Warm Contests Planned for the
Near Future.
STARS ARE GETTING READY
Some of the Men Who Are After the
Laurels-Charles Moth of Spo-
kane Is Now in the City.
His Record

There is considerable stir among the
wrestling contingent in Butte over the
probabilities of contests in the near
future. "Bill'' Jones, a local celeb
rlty, is being urged to trim up his mus
cles in contemplation Of meeting
with the Great O'Neill, formerly of Co.
lumbia Falls, now starring in the East,
where he recently threw some of the
cracks The other DAY he met and
conquered Jack Rouitt at Red Jacket,
Mich, and this victory crowned him
with laurels which his friends declare
will pilot him over succession of bril-
liant encounters. Jones' friends are
taking up his case and putting him
through course of training in an
ticipation of O'Neilrs coming to this
city. The most formidable of the
wrestling contingent who has visited
Butte, no doubt, is Charles Moth, who
arrived here a few days ago from
Spokane. He is one of the very few
who is qualified to dispute the worlds
championship at GraecO- Roman: be-
sides he is among the top notchers
at all styles. He has defeated Tom
Cannon three times in Minnesota;
NiSStieu d lIIee-IOul ufdW Win F"ul-
doom in st. Louis: won a five-style
match with Colonel Mclaughlin at
Seattle; defeated Dan Mcleod at Grae-
co-Roman in ST. Paul and was de-
feated by him at the same place,
catch-as- catch defeated Evan
Lewis, the ''strangler." at Madison,
Wis: defeated the Jap, Matsada Sor-
akichi, twice in Duluth: has thrown
Muldoon at Graeco- Roman in Cincin
natl and won the championship at
Kansas City in the tournament orga-
nized by Fred Englehart BY a little
effort on the part of the local band
of wrestling adherents it is believed
that the Terrible Tuck could be in
duced to visit this city.

SULLIVAN COMING.
Begins His Engagement at the Grand
To-Morrow Night.

To-Morrow Night.
John l.. Sullivan and his comedy and
vaudeville company will begin their Butte
engagement at the Grand tomorrow
night and there is no doubt the house
will be packed with old admirers of the
ex-champion. Sullivan is said to have a
strong company of speciality people.
Among the number are Edwards and Ed
wards. clever in an illustrated song act;
Rochefort and May. two girls in some
thing quite unique for ladies' up-to-date
songs, parodies and funny sayings; Petch-
ing Bros. musical comedians; Bertha and
Crouch, acrobats and contortion dancers;
Lowry and Francis, clever entertainers, in
spirited sparring bout, in which Miss
Francis proves a very pretty and agile
female athlete Sanford and Lee, in their
original talking act, "Muldoon & Fid-
der" Ryeford Sisters, singers and expo
nents of national dances, and the great
champion club iuggler of the world, OAR
mody
The play Is one ladies and children may
witness without being offended at any
thing seen or heard. One of the novel;
ties sure to interest all will be the gym
nasium scene, showing Mr.. Sullivan at
work lust as when in strict training for
the fight of his life-punching the bag, us
ing the jump rope and sparring three hot
rounds with his partner. To make the
scene more realistic and novel. Mr.. Sui
livan has engaged as sparring partner the
ex-champion of America, Jake kilrain.

WILL HUNT FOR COPPER
Montana's Hills Are to Be Thor,
oughly Prospected.
EXPERTS ON THE GROUND
Knowing Ones Say That Some Surpr.s-
ing Discoveries Will Be Made y,
as Travel Is Made
Possible. s#

While Montana will be largely repre-
scented among the horde of prospectors
this year in the stampeded districts
outside of this state, there will be at
the same time vigorous search for the
hidden minerals that are believed to be
buried in the treasure ribbed noun 4
tains of this state. Now that copper is
king and entitled to more than passing
consideration as has not been the case in
years past it is believed that a more
energetic and systematic search for the
red metal will be made all over Mon
tana. In a dozen different districts in
Montana splendid copper indications
are known to exist and these will be
traced up to definite conclusion.
outside of Butte. copper indications
nave been found in Camp Creek High
land, Homestake, Rock Creek Big
Hole, Moose Lake, Ross Fork of the
Big Hole, in Madison and Corban coun-
ties All of these districts will see in
creased forces of prospectors this sum-
men, and ground that heretofore has
been passed up because it showed moth
ing better than copper will be more,
thoroughly developed. Said an Old
timer and experienced miner yester-
day:
Il guess Montana won't be deserted
by the Drospectors. There will be ex-
tensive work done in the virgin hills
here this year. There is too much good
ground in Montana to attract atten-
ton, and it will be given a pretty fair
trial before snow flies again next fall.
1t is known that some of the big com
panies of the state have experts on the
ground ready to strike out for certain
localities just as soon as travel be-
comes a possibility, and then you
NEEDN'T be surprised to hear of some big
things. There will be machinery on
ground that has been considered of
practically no value. Indeed, it is of
no value to the man who hasn't a cent
to put up, but big thing for the man
who can afford to expend a few thou
sand dollars in proper development:
Copper mining and free milling gold
mining are widely different PROPOSE
tions. 1t takes money to open up a
copper mine. This metal now being the
real thing, I expect to see some good
copper mines opened up in Montana.

BUTTE News
WERE HELD FOR TRIAL
Two Men Charged With At
tempting to Commit Murder.
FIRST DEGREE ASSAULT
Booth Given a Preliminary Hearing.
Struck Paul on the Head-Thomas
Sadler as an Insulted
Story-Teller.

Two men. against whom the serious
charge of attempting to commit muir
der rests, were held to the district court
for trial by Butte justices yesterday.
They were William Booth, who so near
~ Drained young Oscar Paul last Sun
day morning, and Thomas Sadler, who
took three shots at Patrick O'Conner
of Centerville a month ago because
O'Conner was SO little enthralled by
his relation of one of his stories that
he unwittingly showed the story teller
the disrespect of walking away while
the story telling was in progress.
Young Booth had his preliminary
terday afternoon, when the details of
his assault on young Paul were recited
by four witnesses to the deed. The
complaint charged the defendant with
the crime of assault in the first degree.
Booth appeared without counsel, while
Chief Deputy County Attorney Kelly
represented the commonwealth.
The four witnesses for the state were
Fred Mclaughlin, George Sproulc,
Charles Oberg and Charles Maggenetti,
and they all gave identically the same
testimony Their stories We're to this
effect: The defendant and young Paul
were playing pool in the Exchange sa-
loon in South Main street at an early
hour last Sunday morning. Both were
very drunk. During the progress of The
game a dispute arose, one claiming ne
made a shot which the other insisted
was missed. The dispute developed into
a quarrel, each calling the other several
kinds Of liars and at length young Paul
invited Booth outside to fight. AS he
uttered the language, he turned and
started toward the door. Just as he
did so, and while his back was toward
Booth, the latter raised his cue and
dealt Paul a terrible blow on the bead
the floor and was carried out. SuDse-
quently he was taken to a hospital,
where it was found his skull was so
terribly fractured that his life was en-
dangered.
Booth told a very slim story in mis-
own defense and had no other wit
nesses. Judge Harrington made an Or
der binding the defendant over to the
district court for trial and fixing his
bonds at $4,000, which he could mot fur
nish and was committed to Jail.
The preliminary hearing of Thomas
Sadler for his attack on Patrick O'Con-
ner was set for o'clock before Justice
Nichols. At that hour Sadler appeared
in court in custody of a deputy sheriff.
He was represented by Judge KehOe,
who informed the court that the de-
PENDANT would waive preliminary hear

1T IS A NECESSITY.
A New, Conveniently Located School in
Walkerville.

Walkerville.
The pupils of the Walkerville schools
are in state of expectancy these closing
days of the school term. In the first place
they see ahead of them vacation of three
months during which they propose to en-
joy themselves as is their wont in the
summer season. Ahead of this they see,
or hope they do a new, large. centrally
located school house in which next winter
they may assemble and study. They and
their parents are anxious for the board of
education to take steps at once towards
the execution of what they all contend to
be necessity convenient and central
ly-located school house in which all the
school children of Walkervile can be
taught. They believe that they have put
up with the inconvenience of inadequate
school room long enough and that they
are entitled to something much better in
the way of school room.
The same applies to Centerville. where
school room is inadequate. At recent
meeting of the school board Miss Downey,
county superintendent spoke of the great
necessity of better facilities in Center
vile.
The board of educa ton is favorably dis
posed towards the plan of building in
these suburbs just as soon as the required
funds are in condition to warrant 1t. There
is hope that these suburbs may be favor
ed with new buildings this year.
