TICER-POQRMAN ANSWER.

An answe has been filed by the de-
PENDANTS in the case Of John F. torbis VS..
Tiger-Poorman Mining company ct al.
In the complaint the plaintiff charges
that Charles Sweeny, +. Lewis Clark ara
others conspired and confederated to de-
fraud the plaintiff and other stockhold-
ers and to that end purchased more than
half Of the capital stock at 50 cents q
share, or at the rate of $3.50 900 for the
mines and property from $. s. Glidden
and T.. Z. Culbertson and others: caused
a fraudulent offer to be made by the
Buffalo Hump company for the purchase
of the mines for $3.50. 900. knowing the
mines to be worth 81 ,o00. 900 and caused
bill Of sale to be delivered to the Buff
falo Hump company.
In their answer defendants deny all
the allegations as to conspiracy and al
lege that at the time of the sale of the
property there was an indebtedness of
10000 on the property and it was not
in good condition for operation: that it
was necessary to put In a new pumping
station at a cost of $50. 600 and the ex-
penses We're 1000 per month. That
these facts led them to believe that $3.50, 900
was full value INC they therefore sold
the property.

CALUMET & HECLA.

The biggest mine that has been open
ed the last three years on Lake Superior
is the Calume & Hecla's new mine upon
the Osceola lode, says the Boston News
Bureau.
It is probable that the Osceola lode is
upon the whole opening up better under
the Calumet K Hec,a territory than UNI
der the Osccola cGnpany's territory, and
with the Calumet & Hecla's organization
and machinery already established upon
the same ground, it will yield a larger
profit per pound of rock mined than on
my other ground, Notwithstanding the
alleged extravaganza of the Calumet &
Hecla management. This rock will
probably yield IL per cert of copper as
mined by the Calumet, but mined even
upon a very extensive scale it cannot
yield any returns commensurate With
the profits from the Calumet & Hecla's
talumet conglomeiata lode, or reef. -
President Asassiz says that the reefs
of the South African gold mines are sub
%stantially similar in al their character
iStics to the Calumet q Hec.a's congtom-
crate deposits, the only difference is that
the waters of antiquity deposited cop
per at Lake Superior and gold in South
Africa. The method of nature seems to
have been the same. OF course, no such
volume of gold deposit was ever found
anywhere in the world as is now being
opened in copper at the south end of the
Calumet & Hecla. Here has been. until
within a few months, the most eXpen-
sive, because the poorest paying, shaft
ever put down by the calumet & Hecla,
and only a mining company of its rich
ness could afford to continue such an UNI
profitable shaft for many years and at a
depth of more than 5000 feet with no
knowledge that it would ever come into
paying ground.
But recently it has opened into what
appears to be beyond belief-Eative cop

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING
Chief Janit0r Trips Salary Raised
Board Will Make a Tender
For City Property.

Chief Janitor Trips salary was raised
from 500 to $10o per month at last nights
meeting Of the school board. The raise
was made for two reasons, the first of
which is that the chief janitor is doing
good service, and the second is that
Chairman Giard of the supply and jani-
tor committee promised that the salary
should be raised some time since. Ac-
cording to the discussion last night the
promise had not been fulfilled because
some newspaper man, who evidently
does not like Trip, had threatened to
roast the board if Trips salary was
raised. The threat to roast came to the
board much after the manner Of some of
the evidence on which Dreyfus was con-
victed-somebody told somebody else and
that somebody told a friend of a mem
Der of the school board. The board
finally came to the conclusion hat the
man who had made the threat was only
an alleged newspaper man, and entitled
to but slight consideration, land the chief
janitor received his promised increase.

board met and the temperature was OF

The board agreed to buy some hyto-

ture The hytoplate in ques-
ton was shipped with the carload of

The board decided to offer the city 5000

house.
The decoration committee reported that
the decoration of the chool houses last
Monday had cost S1O6.
The resignation of Grace Ann Robb, a
teacher in the Garfield school, was ac-

that the Little Basin school had been
opened Monday morning with Miss Co.'S

the Basin school had been closed, and
as the attendance had been very small,
recommended that the school be closed
permanently. He also recommended
that the Blacktail school be continued.

YOUR SCALP.

DRUFF SCALES BUT IT WON'T
- CURE DANDRUFF.

If your hair is brittle and thinning, YOU
have dandruff. The merely securing of
the SCALP of the loose scales, won't cure
dandruff; a dandruff is nothing
but scales of scalp being thrown up by a
pestiferous little germ in. burrowing its
way to the root of the hair where it saps
the vitality, causing falling hair and. in
time, badness. Now you can't stop dan
druff, nor falling hair, nor prevent bald
ness unless you destroy that germ: and
the only preparation that can do it is the
new scientific discovery. Newbro's Her
picide. In fact no other hair preparation
claims to kill the dandruff germ-all Of
them will clean the scalp; soap and water
will do that, but only Newbro's Herpi-
eide gets at the root Of the trouble and
kills the dandruff germ.

SOLDIERS ROMANCE.

Washington Spec. Philadelphia Times:
The enlistment of a private soldier
brings to light a romance. a romance
more like a chapter, out of 4 novel than
an actual occurrence. James Robert
WATSON. at SO years of age. is permitted
by the secretary of war, who valve the
regulations in his favor, to enlist as a
private soldier.
Thirty years ago WATSON was appoint
ed to West Point. being then only 20 years
of age. Three years before that he had
known the practical side of war. Des-
pite his youth he enlisted in an low regi-
ment and went through the Red river
campaign. At West Point he became
the firm friend of Fred. D.. Grant. Was
son, a brilliant scholar, helped young
Grant in his studies When they grad
uated WATSON stood at the head of his
class. He was recognized as having
extraordinary engineering abilities.
After graduating and receiving his
commission as second lieutenant, WATSON
procured a years leave of absence and
went to Japan. Before the year was up
he resigned from the army to take the
chair of mathematics in the college of
Hokkaido. A year later he became sur
veyor in chief of the province of Hok-
kaido, and not long afterward he was APP
pointed engineer, with the rank Of Col
onel in the Japanese army and went
through the Formosa campaign. His
great abilities won him decorations and
other honors. He married the daughter
of John A. Bingham, at that time Am
eriean minister to Japan, and was looked
upon as one of the most distinguished
men in the empire.
WATSON yearned for his native land.
He returned to the United States and
through the influence of President GranA
was made a major and paymaster in the
army. He served faithfully in that ca
pacity for some years. One day. while
travelling with $500 of government
funds. he reported that the money hal
been stolen from his seat. An investi-
cation followed and showed that WATSON
had been leading a fast life. He was
court-martialed and dismissed i'll dis
grace from the army. FOR some years
he was lost sight of. Now he returns
once more and instead of asking for even
the humble of second lieuten-
ant is content to take his place in the
ranks.
All his old friends wish him we'll.
