the universal desire on the part of these
that we have such plant. and that too
without unnecessary delay. For thil
purpose the owners of said claims are
willing to surrender a portion of theil
holdings as bonus to any responsible
company, who will erect such plant
in the vicinity of Custer City. In addi
tiun to this, there are a good many
miners and srtezans of different kinds
who will give a portion of their time
and labor gratis. to aid in the erection
and equipping of reduction plant
of the character We have in.
dicated. 1t will not require a great
outlay of money to get such an enter
prise started. and it will not require a
large amount of brains, but it will take
little of the latter commodity to make
an unqualified success OF the reduction
of the ores Of this camp. We have
found from observation and experience
that it requires a certain amount Of in
telligence to make a success of most any
kind of business.
Thus far, we regret to say, there has
not been any large amount of knowledge
expended in the reduction plants which
at this time are found to adorn some oi
the gulches in the vicinity where many
OF our best mines are located. These
monuments of follyHre invariably found
in the shape of dismantled stamp mills
which have proved a failure in every
case, and i'm every instance thus far on
record they have succeeded in breaking
or dscouraging the builders, running the
reputation of the mine. and giving the
district d black eye. A little informa
ton, or disposition to acquire the same
easily attainable) would have averted
all this, but the fates have decreed il
otherwise. We have arrived at a point
at last where we find that what We
should have done at first we
are now compelled to do at last
We were gritty though, and it has taken
10 years to pound the fact into oul
chumpy noodles.
Now. we want it plainly understood
that we are not advertising bonus to
any one to erect stamp mill in this
locality, for We have stamp mills to sell
Now we want what we need, and the
party who has little business sense in
his make up. and little filthy lucre about
his clothes, should not wish for better
opening to make money than is here
presented. OF course We do not expec
any one to 60 into this blindly, or sim
ply on our say so. We desire investi
cation along the line of ordinary busi
ness methods, and a careful inquiry into
the merits of our mines. and the feas
ibility and the profit Of the enterpris,
which is herein proposed. That is al
we ask.

THE LENA GROUP SOLD.
The above named property for which
deal has been pending for some time,
was finally consummated this week on
the report of w. S. Potter, a mining ex
pert from Minneapolis, by Mr.. A. ID.
Arundel, also of Minneapolis. Both
gentlemen have been here for several
weeks and haye during that time made
thorough examination Of the group,
comprising seven mining claims. These
are situated about miles north of this
city and were owned by Messrs. Barring
Gould, James Graham and Burt Death.
rage. No extensive developments haye
been done on either claims with the ex-
ception of shaft 80 feet deep and
crosscut from said level on the Lena,
which is the best claim of the group.
Tons of ore are on the dump which will
average $40 in gold to the. ton of rock,
although the assay valuevuns much
higher. In examining the ledge IN the
shaft a shot was put in at the bottom of
it, the result of which even surprised
the owners, being brought to the sur
face, the ore was found to be very rich
in free gold specimens, and. although
this was most satisfactory, it was not
sufficiently convincing TO the prospec.
tive purchasers to determine an average
value. Mortar and pan tests were then
made on rock which failed to show the
precious yellow metal to the naked eye
and equally satisfactory results were
attained, with the result that the prop
erty passed from the owners to Mr.
Arundel for handsome sum of money,
part Of which was paid cash right down
Messrs. Arundel and Potter have gone
back to Minneapolis but expect to re-
turn soon to begin active operations
work in the shaft will be pushed with
vigor on its downward course, and at
every 100 feet or so stations will be cut
so that when the time has arrived to
place reduction plant on the mine
there will he enough slopes to axe ore
from to keep the mill in continuous

About Hughes.

CHARLESTON. w. Va, Jan. l6.--The
Democrats are expected to hold their
senatorial caucus on Wednesday night,
and the Republicans on Thursday night,
but the balloting in joint session does
not begin until Monday, Jan. 23. On
the certificates of election. the Repub.
licans have bare majority on joint
ballot tor senator. The senate is Re.
publican and the house Democratic, 80
that in uDseating minority members in
either body, both parties have opportun.
tiles tor retaliation and this condition is
what prevents both bodies from pro
ceeding with business. The house
failed on its first contested seat case
because two Democratic members re.
fused to vote and another was paired
with a Republican, but it was thought
that Rogan, Democrat, would be given
the seat of Via, Republican, today, and
that other contest cases in the house
will be settled Immediately afterward.
Ex.Congressman McGraw is having
things very much his own way on the
Democratic side for Senator Faulkner g
| place. 1t would be necessary for the
house to unseat more members than the
senate for McGraw or any Democratic
aspirant to have any chance. On the
Republican side there are more caudi.

EAGAN saw ALGER.
Commissary General and Sec
retary Conferred.
PRESIDENT MiGHr RCpRiHAYD.
Actual CourtmartidI or Court Of Inquiry
Two Other Possible Lines OF Proceed.
.-ure- Eagan sent Letter OF Apology TO
War Commission.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l1.--In answer to
direct question, Secretary Aiger SAID
that the war department had taken NJ
action in the case OF Comnissary Gen
eral Eagan, but when the inquiry wac
pursued he declined to saw one word At
to his intentions Ill the matter. 1t was
apparent that this matter was receiving
attention, and in fact the commissary
general himself spent some time clos.
eted with the secretary. Three distinct
lines Of action were talked Of as within
the line OF probability. The first was a
strong letter of reprimand to be ad-
dressed by the president himself TO
General Eagan, stating that but for the
immunity he had promised all witnesses
before the commission, he would have
courtmartialed him.
The second line was an actual court.
martial, while the third was court of
inquiry. The purpose of the latter
would be, 10 was said, to place upon a
military tribunal the responsibility for
deciding whether or not General Eagan
should be tried by courtmartial. OF
course the court of inquiry might go q
long way into the matters which led
up to the attack contained in General
Eagan's statement, possibly involving
determination as to the correctness oil
the charges touching the character OF
the army beef preferred by Genera
Miles, though this would appear to be
appointing u second tribunal to investi
gate the methods and results of tht
first engaged already on that work.
1t was stated that General Milei
would not prefer charges against Gen
eral Eagan for the utterances delivered
by him before the war investigating
commission last Friday, but he lntend
to let the war department deal with tht
matter in its own way.
Following was the text of the lette
sent by General Eagan to the war com
mission, with an amended statement il
reply to the charges made by Genera
Miles concerning the beef furnished tn
army:

Trouble over Disinterment of n Woman
Supposed 10 Have Been Buried Alive.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Jan. l6.--
There are likely to be sensational de-
velopments in the case Of Mrs. Will
foung, thought to have been buried
alive. Coroner Downs. of this city, act
ing on orders OF DiatricU Attorney Ross,
went to Duluth and commenced to dis
inter the body for postmortem eXamina-
ton.
While so engaged a mob of $50 Jews
of the faction opposed to the dlsinter-
ment attacked him and he was COM
pelled TO desist. Downs returned here
under close surveillance. He proposed
to go out at night with enough of fol.
lowing to bring the body to this city.
In the Jewish tabernacle riot took
place between the factions, brothers
and relatives of the dead woman at
tacking Wiltouug, her husband. A
free.for.all fight ensued. The police
quelled the row. No arrests were made,
