before the fight arose the Hope
was sold to some Helena parties
through the influence and efforts OF
Kleinschmidt. The Hope was then
only a prospect but it brought
$4,000. 1t was not at all developed
and was, in a sense, at that time
wildcat proposition. O'Donnell had
only done work enough on it to hold
the claim, and had made no big dis
covery. But the ledge was wide
and strong one, and the surface indl-
cations were conceded about $40 to
the ton in gold, with some silver, and
with indications of copper. The deal
was engineered through the president
Of a bank in Helena, and the banks
reserve capital was used to develop
the claim. The bank failed few
years later.
The Helena capitalists spent lot
of money developing the Hope. A
mill was built, in which the ore was
crushed and concentrated, and a shaft
was sunk 200 feet and levels run east
and west. Gangs of men worked on
the 200, one set drifting and another
stopping taking the ore out overhead)
wherever gold ore was found; and on
the 100 other gangs did the same. No
really rich ore was found on the 200,
but one day the mill superintendent
found handful of gold nuggets in the
iigs after putting some ore from the
90 through the concentration. Some of
he nuggets were as large as grains of
coffee, and some were of the size of
AaZel nuts. He questioned the men Of
he day and night shifts on the 100 but
10 far as he could learn none of them
had seen any free gold in the ore sent
up.
The mill superintendent turned the
nuggets over to the mine superintend-
ent, who sent them to Helena. The
capitalists went down to Basin in high
glee. In order to keep the discovery
from the men the mine was shut down
on the pretext that the hosting works
needed repairs, btu engineers and fire.
men were kept at their posts. Then
the mine superintendent got in the
cage, and went down, ostensibly to in
spect the workings, out really to pros
pect in the 100 and find the
rich gold streak that was yielding such

San Antonio, Tex, October 4.-The hand
some special train bearing Minister Maris-
CAL vice president of Mexico, and his par

DECISION WAS ALL RIGHT
English Papers Satisfied With Result
of Venezuelan Matter

London, October 4.-The award of the
Anglo Venezuelan boundary arbitration
commission is regarded by the afternoon
papers as emin entity satisfactory from the
English point of view, but as hardly
proof of the practica bility of universal ar
bitration.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: without
doubt Great Britain has done uncommonly
well, as is proved by the comments OF
former President Harrison. IL it were not
already sufficiently obvious, it is now made
clear that the arbitration has shown the
disposition of the government to be patient
and pleasing rather than risk sinful and
unnatural quarrel. This must have its
impression in America, and thus must have
sown good seed, which has already grown
into a fourishing plant
The St. James Gazette says: THE out
come is not the result of arbitration, but
of friendly compromise, stated by former
President Harrison. We have not got all
we wanted, nor to what we are entitled;
but arbitration has resulted in giving Brit
ish Guiana indisputabe title to the north
western district, where her future lies.
Every one will gladly join in the uni
versal congratlua tons to the tribunal upon
the happy result of difficult and delicate la
bors."
The Westminster Gazette says: "Ihe re-
suit is decidedly satisfactory. The extreme
contentious of both parties have been set
aside, but the substantial point Is that
Great Britain gets more than on various
occasions she had expressed herself as
willing to concede to Venezuela. The prac-
tical feature of the case is that We have
substantially succeeded against Venezuela,
while vastly improving our relations with
the United States. The award and the
rapidity with which it was rendered cannot
fail to give strong impetus to Internal
tional arbitration"
The Globe, adopting its usual offensive
tone, says: For once arbitration has not
operated to our advantage. There are 9TH
ers besides the Venezuelans who should
recognize that Great britain will not suf-
fer what she considers her rights to be
subjected to the terrorism of warlike mem
ace, whether in one part of the world or
another; whether by a great power or a
small state"

Freedman strenuously denied his gulit,
though he admitted having been with Mr.
Moore Tuesday night. The detective, feel
ing sure that he had the right man, went
back to the room in a house of il-tame
where he had found Freedman and searched
IL carefully. Two S5O-bills were found un-
der the carpet in one corner of the room
When Mr.. Moore reported his loss he de-
scribed the money as being three fifty-dol-
lar bills and one twenty
He said that he was drinking heavily and
that Freedman had taken him to the
Opera House hotel and put him to bed.
When he awoke all of his money was gone.
The two fifty dollar bills found by Detec-

ones lost by Mr.. Moore and have been re-

the other fifty tomorrow.
freedman was taken out of the city prls-
on last night and shown the two bills.
He was asked to disclose where he had
put the other money, but refused, saying
that he knew nothing of it, and that he was
not guilty of any robbery. He admitted,
however, having put Moore to bed at the
hotel. When ordered back to prison he be-
came very much excited, and offered to
give the detective check for the balance
of the money, still claiming that he had
not stolen anything.

DELIBERATIONS
WERE NOT SMOOTH
AngIo-VenezueIan Tribunal Did
Not Agree Perfectly.
JUDGES CONCEDED POINTS
Justice Brewer in an Interview Says
Justice Brewer in an Interview Says
Arbitrators Did Not Work as Har-
moniously as a Reading of
the Award Indicates

Paris, October A representative of the
Associated Press this evening had a con-
versation with Justice Brewer, of the
United States supreme court, regarding the
award of the Anglo Venezuelan arbitration
tribunal, from which 1t appears that the
deliberations of the court did not proceed
as smoothly and with the spontaneous
unanimity which a perusal of the award
would lead one to believe.
Justice Brewer, in replying to ques-
tion said: Until the last moment, I be-
lieved decision would be quite impossible,
and it was only through the greatest con-
Citation and mutual concessions that a
compromise was arrived at. If any of US
had been asked to have given an award
each would have given one different from
the other. The consequence of this was
that we had to adjust our different views
and finally to draw a line running between
what each thought right"
Being asked whether political considera-
tons influenced the award, the justice said
he could not admit that, as such an ad-
mission would reflect on the judges, but
there was no doubt that the present insur-
rection in Venezuela and the consequent
iSSiilS VI INSTABILITY Wcl6licu " q Sci Tam
extent in the balance.
In reply to an inquiry as to what ques-
tons separa ted the judges, Justice Brewer
replied: Nearly every point. In the first
place European lawyers don't look upon
the question of prior rights resulting from
rights of discovery in the same way as We
do. Then the question of the nature Of
control and the extent of influence and re-
lationship with the native races, and many
such matters are not viewed in the same
manner on either side of the Atlantic. In
fact the whole situation is not SO keenly
appreciated by Europeans as it is by Amer
leans"
Replying to a question regarding the de-
alterations within the court, Justice Brew
er said that there was. properly speaking.
no casting of votes. Each judge conceded
something in turn. With regard to the
proceedings in open court he said the hear
ing of arguments might have been consid-
erably curtailed had the case been heard
exclusively by either an English or an
American court but the judges thought 1t
prudent to allow counsel full liberty in or
der to make matters clear to the president,
who after all, was not a lawyer.

IMPORTANT EJECTMENT SUIT
The King Heirs Seek to Recover Dam
ages from Railroads

Chattanooga, Tenn, October A special
to the Times from Bristol, Tenn, says:
Samuel L. King and ]. w. Owen, for the
King heirs, filed important ejectment
suit here today. The action is against the
Norfolk and Western Railroad company
and involves the title to real estate in the
heart of the city valued at 100000. The
land includes the sites of the Norfolk and
Western, Southern and the Virginia and
Southwestern railway depots respectively,
also the right of way to five miles OF
track.
The ground of action is that the company
has violated the terms of the deed which
was conditional, thus forfeiting its right to
the property involved. The land was do
mated to the Virginia and Tennessee Rail-
way company, now the Norfolk and West
ern, prior to the civil war by Samuel Il.
Goodson and James King. The action also
seeks to recover 900 in rents covering
five years.
