WAS CHARGED WITH DYNAMITE.
How u Mule Turned Mine Into a
:. GeySer.


From the Chicago Record
The pack mule is quite as much an
institution as the team mule, and is
absolutely indiscribable in the mount
aims. Mule-packing is a fine art, and
with well-trained animal and skill
full packer you can safely transport
anything from a piano to a bag Of oats.
When the packer has finished his job
in an artistic manner the animal may
buck or kick rear or roll, but he can't
rid himself of his burden, and he finally
gives up in despair After two or three
experiences he will submit to his des-
tiny and fall into line with the rest
of the train every morning to receive
his load, and if by any means it gets
loose he will step quickly out Of line
and wait until the packmaster comes
along to tighten it up.
The most serious objection to the
mule, which you sometimes find in hui
man beings also, is the delusion that he
can sing. One who has never heard a
mule solo cannot appreciate the extent
of his mistake; but like everything else
about a mule. his song is strictly origi-
ina. 1t belongs to no other animal.
No one can describe and no one can
initiate it.
''Speakin' O. mules" said an old
Santa Fe teamster, as he tipped back
in his chair, reminds me of a 'stordi-
nary experience / once had with crit
ter. Me and Mexican Mose-mebbe you
knew him? They called him so because
he was mimi In Mexico for quite q

aims one winter when our mule ct UP

an old Californian who sat in the cor
ner smoking. i've been fixed that way
when the Ticker gave out. It's a dis
tressin' situation"
I'VE dassent try to ride the mule to
the nearest settlement" continued the
teamster without noticing the inter-
ruption. 'fer neither of us want quite

IT WAS NOT CONCLUDED
Condemnation Suit of the Mon
tana Ore Purchasing Go.
GROUND IS NECESSARY
FMy-One Acres Needed for the Tailings
and Water-Butte Is Good Enough.
There Is No Need to Go to
Helena.

The hearing ON the order to show
cause in the condemnation suit of the
Montana Ore Purchasing company
against the Butte & Boston was taken
up by Judge Clancy at o'clock last
evening and was not concluded. Sever
al witnesses testified as to the need of
the ground sought to be condemned as
dumping place for concentration tail
lngs. Bryant w. Turner mining en-
gineer In the employ of the Montana
ore Purchasing company, testified that
IL was necessary to have a dumping
ground lower than the concentration,
and for that reason the company ought
TO nave the 81 acres sought to be APP
propriated. w. A. Kidney, superinten-
dent of Heinze's concentrator. said
they concentrated about 900 tons of ore
q day, and Of that quantity 425 tons
We're waste, and said the ground was
needed for the tailings and water.
The witness had map which the
court wished to see, but Mr.. Kidney
said he was afraid he could not explain
1t to his honor. The latter, however,
said he knew a thing or two about
maps himself The witness said the
M. 0. F.. company bought about one
third of the ore treated from outside
PARTIES. MI. OTDlS asked the witness
If it was not fact that the M. o. T.
company had published a notice in the
newspapers that it could handle no
more custom ore, and he replied that
he did not know. He said the company
had been dumping tailings for about
eight years and had covered about five
acres besides what was carried off by
water.
Why don't you build smelter in
Helena?' asked Mr. FOrbis.
Butte is good enough" was the re-
ply.
"Oh, I thought you were going to
build over there"
IF you covered only one acre of
ground in one year, why do you want
so much ground now?" asked Mr.. For
bis.
II don't know; I'm not running this
thing" said Mr.. Kidney.
Austin H. Brown. superintendent Of
Heinze's smelter, testified that they
worked from 600 to 700 tons a day and
that rs per cent. of it was tailings. He
said the company would require all the
ground it could get. He had recently
Inspected the Rarus and Johnstown
mines and saw ore bodies that will
keep the company running for 20 or 50
years.. .g..

Saw a Devil Fish Leap.

From the Plttsburg Dispatch.

Of mahogany. and when off Cape Cam
peche was one calm afternoon leaping
over the taffrail, looking down into the
blue profound, on the watch for fish,
writes a worldwide traveller. A gloomy
shade came over the bright water and
up rose a fearful monster, some eigil-
teen feet across, and in general outline
more like skate or ray than anything
else, all except the head.
There, what appeared to be two curl
ing horns, about three feet apart, rose
one on each side of the most horrible
pair of eyes imaginable. A sharks eyes

Book of Revelations was incomplete

Although quite sick and giddy at the
sight Of such DOGGY, l could not move
until the awful thing, suddenly Wav-
ing what seemed like mighty wings,

Since then I have never seen one leap
upward in the daytime. At night when
there is no wind, the sonorous splash
is constantly to be heard, although why

MINNESOTA MEN
GIVEN A WELCOME
Montana Hospitality Showered on the
Returning Volunteers When
They Reached Helena.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena Oct. 1O.-The two battalions
of the 18th regiment of Minnesota that
passed through here to-day on their
way home were royalty entertained and
given splendid example of Montana
hospitality. There We're $50 enlisted
men and IS officers in the two battalions
that arrived this morning in two sec
lions over the Northern Pacific. The
first section was under command OF
Major Bean and the second under COM
mand of Major Robinson. Colonel
Ames, the commanding officer OF tine
regiment, was on the first section, but
he explained that he had so much de-
tail work in hand that he could not
direct the movements of that body of
men. The first section of the train was
expected to arrive here few minutes
after 6, but it was about half-past 9
when the train pulled in, having been
delayed by a broken flange on the en-
CINE a few miles this side of the Mul-
Ian tunnel.
For three hours the crowd had waited
patiently. The reception accorded the
visitors was none the less warm. About
LOCO people Were at the depot, and long
and loud We're the cheers for the brave
regiment. lunch. consisting of sand
wiches, coffee, beer and cigars. had
been provided by the citizens of Hell
Giia. lie volunteers GHJoSeu Tic lulICu
and gave numerous cheers for Montana
as their train pulled out. Major Bean
had given the reception committee to
understand that on account of the time
lost as result of the accident, it would
be impossible to listen to any speeches.
He said that the members of his COM
mand felt greatly honored by the en-
tertainment accorded them by the peo-
pie of Helena and Montana.
The Cnnon6 which ory;x,a
soon after. had more time at its dis
pCsal After the men had been served
with eatables and drinka bles they broke
out in raptures of applause when it be-
came known that they were to be brief
ly addressed. Senator Carter assembled
to the top of truck, and commanding
attention, said:
Heroes Of the 18th ADMINISTRATIVE
roes from another state: After all your
triumphs it is not our purpose to as
sault you with speeches. We extend
to you cordial welcome, the welcome
of true Montanans. The people of this
state, whose sons, equally great III
achievements with you. are soon to re-
turn to their homes, greet you as the
defenders and upholders of the flag. We
speed you on your happy journey home
and Wish you a safe arrival. I now
have the pleasure of introducing Major
Martin Maginnis, a member Of the 1st
regiment of Minnesota, which suffered
a greater loss at the battle of Gettys-
burg than was sustained by any regi-
ment in any war" (Cheers.)
AS Major Maginnis removed his hat
and bowed to the right and left he was
given such a yell as the newspaper
chroniclers say urged on the brave vol
unteers of all the regiments as they
pressed on in the Philippines.
Boys of the 18th" said the major.

cises for the day of celebration was left
to the executive committee.

cises for the day of celebration was left
to the executive committee.
Governor Richards was appointed to
see the mayor in regard to having the
streets in shape for marching so that
no street will be torn up for paving eX-
| cept what can be completed before the
soldiers arrive.
The grand stand at the track will be
reserved for ladies and children. An
other stand will be erected large enough
to accommodate the invited guests from
other cities and the reception commit
tee. All state and federal officials have
been invited. 1t was decided that a
special committee of so be appointed
to meet the soldiers at the state line and
escort them to Butte. Another recep-
ton committee of 100 was appointed to
meet the soldiers at the train as they
arrive. There will be special badges for
these committees and each member or
a committee will buy his badge. A re-
viewing stand will be erected at the
court house to accommodate ABOUT eVo
people. %,
Mr. Mantle expressed great disap-
pointment at the way the merchants
had failed to respond to the call for
subscriptions Outside of Mr. Hennessy
they had not contributed as much as
they do to the Fourth of July celebra-
ton. and Mr.. Hennessy had given about
chants put together He said his re-
marke applied not only to business men,
but to hotel and restaurant keepers and
saloon keepers, none of whom had con-
tributed a dollar He hoped that those
who have not contributed will come for
ward and that others would revise their
subscriptions. He thought the main
trouble was lack of thought on the part
of the people generally. They had failed
to realize the magnitude of the affair.
1t was decided unanimously not to have
any liquors sold at the race track on
the day of the celebration or at night
either or on the following days, while
the committee has charge of the track.
A resolution was passed asking the
mayor to issue an official request that
the day be observed as holiday by the
citizens generally and that the schools
and business places and mines and
smelters be closed down for the entire
day.
1t was voted that the official pro-
grammes be sold at 10 cents apiece.
The street railroad company reported
that on the day of the celebration a car
would leave the corner of Main and
Park streets every two minutes for the
track.
1t was decided to advertise for bids
for selling privileges at the track such
as candies, fruits, cigars, lemonade and
soft drinks
