Mining Items.

1t is reported that cinnabar ore has
been discovered near Hill City.
The Hill City News says it is reported
that the Harvey Peak Tin company will
commence work on some of their claims
in May.
Work was commenced on the Lost
Bonanza mica mine on Monday. Six
men are at present employed mining
and preparing the product for the mar
ket.
The st. Elmo mill has been temporar-
lily closed down on account of lack of
water. This has compelled suspension
of work in the mine also, except VIII ere
some dead work is under way.
Word has been received In this city
to the effect that work would be resum-
ed on the Gold Coin mining property
west of Custer in very short time.
Supt. Bush is expected to arrive here
within few days.
1t is reported that the Lucky Boy
group of gold claims in the Keystone
mining district have been sold to Chi
cago parties. The papers were made
out last week at which time the first
payment was made. The owners of the
property were John and James Lintz,
Tom Sweeney and Mrs. Franklin's
estate. The purchase price is said to be
$4,000.
The gentlemen who are interested in
the new concentrator, and who have
been sojourning at this place while pur-
suing their investigation of the
workings of the new machine
have all departed for Lincoln, where a
meeting has been called for the purpose
of organizing and arranging for the pur
chase Of the necessary machinery for
making the plant complete. The design
is to have the capacity of the plant such
us to enable the company to handle at
least so tons of ore per day 1t was ex
pected that Mr.. Robinson would meet
them at Lincoln and take part in the
meeting and he one OF the company. 1t
was conceded by all who expressed
themselves in the matter that the ma
chine performed its work like magic and
was perfect success as applied to the
ores Of this district. 1t was also the
concensus of opinion that there were
in the district within radius Of 7 miles
plenty Of mines the ores OF which were
well adapted to the process and Of suffi-
cient richness to give assurance that the
enterprise would be paying one from
the start We understand that they are
expected to return in day or two, and

One More Case.

Great Falls, Oct. 3.-One more case
OF smallpox developed here to-day. b.
S. McCarty, living at Third avenue
north and Seventh street. He had not
been taken to the pest house at g
o'clock this evening. but will be at a
later hour. While the scare is subsid-
ing to. a certain degree as the people
regain confidence in the physicians
ability to cope with the situation, it
is still noticeable that the citizens
themselves voluntarily refrain from
gathering in crowds and the streets are
usually deserted by 8 o'clock in the
evening. There IS considerable laugh
ing at Fort Benton in suddenly declar-
ing a boycott against this city just
when the great danger is over. Had
such action been taken a month or
more ago there would have been much
wisdom in it. B. B. Cook and w. P.
Beachley, who were sent out into the
Deep Creek country yesterday to quar-
antine a church where the disease had
existed, are reported as having a tough
time of it. 1t is said that the ranch
ers, partly through fear of contagion
and partly to resent the quarantine,
refuse to have anything to do with
them and in consequence they are far
ing poorly. To-day the boys sent a
two-horse load of provisions, wet and
dry including two dozen cucumbers,
to their relief and it is expected that
they will thereby be enabled to pull
through all right.

SOLD LIQUOR TO INDIANS

Frank Pellenger was given so DAYS in
the Lewis and Clarke county iail YES
terday by Judge Knowles and was in
addition sentenced to pay fine of 500.
Pellenger was accused of taking liquor
on the Blackfoot Indian reservation
and was indicted by the United States
grand jury. He appeared before Judge
Knowles in the United States court
Monday and entered plea of not
guilty. Since then he learned that it
would be at least two months before he
could get his trial, and as he was un-
able to give bonds, that meant he
would have to go to Jail for two
months whether he could prove him
self innocent or not, and then stand a
chance Of being convicted, which would
mean another two months anyway,
with strong probability that it would
be more. He concluded to take his
chance, therefore, on plea of guilty.
Accordingly he went before the court
yesterday and changed his plea and re
ceived sentence. Pellenger put on
wry face and said it put an innocent
man in a peculiar position to be obliged
to acknowledge himself guilty to es-
cape severe punishment for crime he
never committed. The government au-
thorities, however, seem to think Pei
lenger got off pretty light as the EVIL
dence before the grand jury is said to
have been very strong against him.
The $25, 600 suit begun over year ago
against James A. Talbot by A. c. Stec1
was finally settled in the United States
court yesterday. Steck sued to recover

Californians.

Californians.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Oct. 3.--Governor Smith ans
Adjutant General English returned last
night from San Francisco, where with
the members of the governors staff
and other Montanans, they welcomed
home the LIST Montana. The governor
was absent II days. He speaks en-.
Enthusiastically of the reception accorded
both the welcoming party and the re-
turning soldiers by the people of San
Francisco. He says that when 1t comes
to hospitality the Califorians are all
right. He has a warm place in mis-
heart for Governor Gage, Mayor Phelan
and the open-hearted citizens of the
city by the Golden Gate. He is equally
enthusiastic over the fine physical con-
dition in which he found the Montana
regiment.
He says General Shafter assured him
that the Montana boys returned in bet
ter health than any of the volunteer
regiments. The governor is looking for
ward with interest to the time he can
join the people of Montana at Butte in
welcoming the soldiers on Montana soil
He announced two appointments to-
day in the regiment, both of battalion
adjutants to fill vacancies. Last jan
uary Lieutenant Sanders resigned the
position of battalion adjutant and in
July Lieutenant Hanna gave up the
same position. The former became 81

Alaskans-George Munford, Harker

point of recklessness has scarcely ever
been equaled. The limit was SO, and
new deck was opened each deal. BY
IL o'clock there must have been 100 on

satlon outside was the hurrying up
stairs of wines to keep the thirsty
crowd in good spirits.
The game began by Munford winning
