FORGING TO THE FRONT
The West Mountain District at
Bingham.
BUTTE MEN INTERESTED
One Hundred Thousand Dollars for l2O
Acres of Ground in the Heart Of
the District-A = ar
ing Group.

The West Mountain district Of Bing-
ham is forging to thR front with all
fours, and this will De encouraging
news to many Butte iitizens who, ins+
recent months, have fought Interests
in that promising mil ins district. 1t
is reported that 800, 900 j to be the con-
sideration in a deal for the transfer
of no less than 100 acres of ground In
the heart of the West Mountain dis
trict, which was recently closed. Upon
the signing of the papers, which. says
the Salt Lake Herald, are in es,.ow,
a Boston syndicate virtually becomes
the owner of the group of mining
claims. Familiarity known as the t. L.
Cook & Co. group.
The property embraced in the deal lies
between the Boston Consolidated, De
Lamar Well group and the ground
owned by the Fortune Mining company,
and consists altogether of II claims.
The property has been the scene of Wig
orous development during the present
year under the direction of Messrs.
Cook & Co. In addition to running a
tunnel for distance of $50 feet, nu-
merous cross-cuts have been made, dis
closing some nice bodies of ore carrying
some very gratifying values in copper.
The deal has been pending for some
time, and the property has been sub
jected to rigid examination by COM
petent engineers sent out for that pur-
pose. Their reports have been highly
satisfactory, and as a result a repre-
sentative of the Boston crowd arrived
in the city a few days ago to close up
the transaction.
Frank Cook, when seen yesterday
afternoon, declined to say who the pur-
chasers are, but it Is supposed the gen.
tleman representing the Boston syndi-
cate here was A. l.. Robinson, who has
other interests in Bingham. Mr. Rob-
inson visited the property several days
ago, and has taken his departure for
the East.
1t is learned the new owners expect
to develop the property on a large
scale.
August Mathey, the noted Colorado
mining expert, who Is putting in much
of his time these days chasing bonan-
zas for Samuel Newhouse, accompanied
by Mrs. Mathey and daughter came
down from Butte yesterday morning
and registered at the Knutsford, says
the Herald MT Mathey has been in
attendance as witness in the Colusa-
Parrot Never Sweat litigation, which is
an action brought by the Colusa-Par-
rot people to quiet title to veins which
come together from the properties or
the two companies.
After a few days stay in Salt Lake
Mr. Mathey says he will leave for the
Sewn Devils district to examine some
copper propositions for Mr.. Newhouse.
and in two weeks or SO will again re-
turn to Salt Lake.
A party of six prospectors came up

John Lothrop Motley, in his early
days, tried his hand at fiction. But
such is the fact, and while Merry
mount: a Romance of the Massacnu-
sets Colony" did not satisfy the ex-
acting taste of the author, it did not
rail to possess many of the best char
acteristics of our first war.
Mr.. Gray Parkers Fight for Do
main; a Romance of Our First War
with SPAIN" Is chiefly valuable as
reminder of General Oglethorpes
troubles with the Spanards while
anecting the colonization of Georgia.
some very fine writing is contained
In "Sweethearts and Wives; Stories of
Life in the Navy" by Anna A. Rogers.
In Vain was the first book written
by Henryk Sienkiewicz. His translator,
Mr.. Curtin, Informs us that it has al
ways been favorite with the author
and it is very readable tale, though
it must be confessed that for us it does
possess the historical interest of Quo
Vadis," and it falls far short Of indicat-
ing the genius manifested in Mr.. Stem
kiewicz's masterpieces, with Fire and
Sword. Pan Michael and The Del
uge."
One of the most pleasant Of the books
before us to-day is a little story by
Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spofford called
THE Maid He Married"
For our own part, we never tire of
good historical novels dealing with the
tragic incidents of the Indian mutiny
The Afghan Knife" by Robert Armit-
age Sterndale, differs from most other
books on this subject, by largely ignor-
ing the great historic centers of Gavin
pore, Lucknow and Delhi, while he tries
to indicate experiences in one of the
small stations of the interior, as well
as to suggest some of the interna tional
ramificaItions of the revolt.

same custom was formerly followed in
the South and West of the United
States. For instance, good race horse
named McWhrter broke one of his
fOrelegs and staggered under the wire
on the stump at the st. Louis tMoD
track a number of years ago. He was
buried at the head of the homestretch,
where his body lies to this day.
A cable from England says: After
repeatedly cautioning Sloan for disobe-
dience al the starting post in the get
away for the Warren Nursery stakes,
the starter. Mr.. A. Coventry, reported
the American Jockey for disobedience.
The action of Mr.. Coventry, who is one
of the most lenient of turf officers, was
doubtless well justified and will prob
ably result in Sloan's suspension for
the racing term.
Sloan won the Warren Nursery stakes
of 500 sovereigns on Lord Beresford' S
Pedometer.
Sadducee remains the only unbeaten
two-year-old of the city. The son of
Bathampton unfortunately is ineligible
for any of the big eastern stakes. but
he has demonstrated his superiority in
a convincing manner.
A veteran race-goer calls attention to
what he calls the remarkable success
achieved by horses of Pierre Lorillard' S
breeding in England during the last
two or three years.
Mr.. Lorillard." he says, sends over
Is or 20 yearlings each season, and the
odds are 200 to l against him, for 5000
horses are bred in England each year.
Mr.. Lorillard has to buck up against
all of these, and the fact that his
horses. like Democrat and the others,
are able to pull off so many valuable
stakes is a compliment to American
breeding, as well as to the handling
the horses receive from John Higgins"
Mr.. Lorillard is preparing for an eN-
tensive campaign in this country, but
he will still continue to ship many of
his youngster abroad, where they will
be raced in the colOrs of Lord William
BereSford.
The Tampa tFla) people are making
preparations to give quite an extended
meeting at that point this winter. The
intention is to convert the present half
mile track into a mile track, so as to
conform to Jockey club rules, and to
offer about 81 600 worth of purses day.
Horsemen who attended the little meet
ing there last winter We're pleased with
the prospect, so that If the Tampa
people offer inducements to the horse
men and put experienced men at the
head of their meeting they ought to be
able to have profitable racing there this
winter,

While Sloan is undoubtedly the star
of the foreign jockeys now riding here,
there Is a lad from South America who
is attracting a great deal of attention.
His name is Malerba, and he is a pock-
ct Hercules in build. Quite young and

lerba is strangely foreign, nothing more
so than his marvellous style in the sad
die. His saddle has stirrups geared on

heavy enough for a guardsman's char
ger. To mount, Malerba twists his left
hand fingers in the name and vaults on
to the horses back or into the saddle,
as the case may be. Recently he rode
the EPSON course without a saddle and
won the race. The boys whip is stout
ly built, as if originally intended to be
tipped like a hunting crop, but a the
end there is a broad wedge-shaped
piece of leather. which is designed for
the heavy end of the flogging. 1t is
said, to Materials credit. that he rarely
resorts to the whip in races, using it
only when hard pushed at the end of
contest. Malerba has displayed superb
jockeyship on several occasions. and is
being taken up by some of the better
class horsemen here.
