tie work has been done on the claim, but
enough has already been accomplished
to show that it is rich. As proof OF
this Mr.. Benson exhibited a beautiful
nugget, free of quartz, weighing
ounces, Q dwts. and grains. At SIC
per ounce this nugget is worth Sll9, but
Jack Wade gold ASSAYS something like
1920 to the ounce, hence the nugget is
worth about Sl40. Mr. Benson says
that Billy ,Chappell made a great buy
when he purchased Nos. 5 and 8 and q

Liquor in the Army.

~HE army canteen question is
throwing side lights on the
drinking habit in the American
army. Beyond doubt there is less in
toxication among the soldiers now than
formerly. In a report made in 1858 it
was stated by an army medical officer
that almost all of the men INDUCED in
drink to excess. II can certainly say"
he said, that I never saw SO many
drunkards congregated before" There
certainly has been a great Improvement
on that condition.
The boys in the Philippines and the
West Indies have struck some new
and peculiar varieties of liquor For
example, in Manila, according to the
Army and Navy Journal a native al
coholic drink is sold under various
names according to the previous con-
tents of the old bottle, which is filed
with the new liquor. This raw drink
is stronger and cheaper than imported
beer and our soldiers have not learned
to use it with the discretion of the ma
tives. AS a consequence special and
severe measures are necessary 10 re-
strain its use. In Porto Rico a cheap
rum is sold at twenty-five cents or
thirty cents a quart. and it beguiles
what General Hughes calls the non
self-controlled men. From Cuba is
heard the same story of Indulgence in
a bad liquor with evil consequences
Arguing from the premises that 1T is
necessary to provide for the soldiers
orderly enjoyment of wholesome pleas
ures is a relief to the eXacting require
ments of military duties" the Journal
maintains that the sale of beer in the
army canteen has done very much to
substitute a harmless drink with good
company and social pleasures for the
british Indulgence of intoXication and
it would be well to seek for a subst
tute for beer, to be sold in canteens
in hot climates, if that drink is not
suited to a tropical latitude.

Muir, but l was prepared for any mir

held the fright at Muir until the
special reached Bozeman at the west
ern foot of the mountain, and then let
them go, pondering the while on the
special providece that watches over
children and some other people.
When the chief dispatcher returned
to Livingston I learned they were ig-
norant of passing 4th 10 at Hopper's
on account Of it's being hidden by the
hills, and to this day the superintend-
ent is in ignorance of his narrow es-
cape from death.
