sor so later he sought to get the returns
but the assayer put him off. In a few
days he tried again. The assayer
asked him: Where did you get that
rock?' Holland grew suspicious and
would give him no definite answer.
That's pretty rich rock" admitted the
assayer, finally. Lets go out and
locate it,
Hollands suspicious were confirmed
and he sought to throw the assayer
off. Why" said he, that is an aw-
full place to get into. I wouldn't go
there again for all the mines in Mon
tana." The assayer failed to get any
satisfaction, and Holland failed to get
an assay; so they parted.
Nevertheless. the assayer kept close
watch on Holland, who became wary
One day Holland struck out with his
gun, going in direction opposite from
that in which the ledge lay. Once out
Of sight he soncealed himself, then
doubled back. sought out the ledge
and put up his location notices, calling
the claim the Granite Mountain. He
located James w. Estell and DR.. j.
NJ. Merrill in with him. July 6. 1875.
the location notice was filed and is to
be seen to-day in the vaults of the
county recorders office.
The three men had little money, Dr.
Merrill having perhaps more than
either Holland or Estell, but what
they had they put into development
work Their means, however. were not
sufficient, although they had a good
showing. Eventually St. Louis cap
italists became interested. inspected
the property and offered to buy it.
Holland and Estell accepted $4,000 for
their two-thirds. while DR.. Merrill re-
tanned his third. 1t has made him a
millionaire. He now lives in Oakland,
Cal. Estell is dead.
Captain Plummer came out from St..
Louis to develop the property. A shaft
was sunk and vast sums of money ex-
pended without any apparent results.
Captain Plummer had faith. however,
and continued the work, using s35, 900
of his own money to keep 1t up. The
st. Louis owners at length became
disgusted and wrote him to cease
work. While the letter was on the
way Captain Plummer struck the rich
ore and struck it in tremendous body.
1t was fabulous find
At once he telegra phed the St. Louis
capitalists Of the find They wired
back to disregard the letter which he
had not yet received, and continue
work. This he did and presently the
mine became one of the big dividend
payers of the country.
In the early days of the property its
stock sold at 10 cents a share. Some
who bought at that price sold out at
$6S a share. The highest point reached
by the stock was $72.

STRIKE WAS A SHORT ONE 4
Twenty Lincoln School Boys
March Out of Glass Room.
AND MARCH BACK AGAIN
Don't Like Their Teacher and Conclude
to Go on = Striks-Repsnted and
Went Back-Affa!rs Being
Investigated.

For the last two days there have been
exciting times at the Lincoln school.
1t looked for time as if the trouble
was to be really serious, but now events
have so shaped themselves that the ex-
citement resembles a tempest in a tea
pot
Twenty boys. pupils in the room pre-
cided they didn't like her for teacher,
and on Tuesday afternoon they organ
lied what they called strike and
walked out. Yesterday they walked i'll
again. superintendent Stapleton is in
vestigating the cause OF the trouble.
There are "a boys in Miss O'Keefe's
room. Twenty of them were the strikers.
They claim they have the sympathy Of
the girls in the room also and it is un-
derstood an effort was being made yes
terday to have the girls strike" also.
The four boys who refused to particl-
| pate in the walk-out organized by the
strikers" the latter term scabs.
| Walter Smith is said to be the leader
| of the boy strikers. who say they We're
fully organized for the movement. The
youngsters are highly indignant be-
cause on Monday they We're transferred
! from Miss Nancy Hardenbrook' room
to Miss O'Keefe's room. For some rea-
| son they have taken a dislike to Miss
OKeefe and expressed that dislike in
| the walk-out.
When the boys left the school early
| Tuesday afternoon they marched to the
| Central school to tell Superintendent
Stapleton their troubles. He was not
there, so they marched back again, and
hung around the gate Of the Lincoln
| school until school was out. Then they
proceeded to declare the boys who had
| remained in We're scabs.
| Presumably the walking delegate who
agitated the strike became dubious as
| to it's result yesterday morning when
! he saw that the schools were running
! the same as usual and no one appar-
emily missed the strikers Anyhow, he
| told the boys nothing was to be gained
by hanging about the sidewalks. so at
8 O'clock the boys presented themselves
at the school gate.
Principal George Cannon was there
to receive them, but not as prodigal
sons. He had several things to say to
them which they did not like. Then
the boys marched into school and re-
sumed their studies.
Mr.. Cannon took the boys apart and
patiently listened to their complaint.
| The whole affair is being investigated
| thoroughly. 1t is probable that all the
boys will be punished, the ringleaders
more seriously than the rest. No fur
ther trouble is anticipated
A teacher who is We'll acquainted with
| Miss O'Keefe said last night: THE
whole thing is merely foolish freak
on the part of the small boys who made
the disturbance. Miss O'Keefe is strict
| in enforcing discipline. but she 10 a
modest, sweet tempered and womanly
woman, who would do none of the pu
| pills an injustice. A few unQuiet spirits
have stirred up this strife and it really
| amounts to nothing"

of his father in Peatlands, this county,
was last night arrested here on tele-
gram from the sheriff Of Nez Perce

Roberts is said to have forged the name

money, with which he fled to Portland
and thence here. Pictures and de-
scription received here last night pro-
cured Roberts arrest less than an hour

other relatives are making strenuous
efforts to compromise the matter by
wiring the Idaho parties their willing

the forgery. but no arrangement Look
