HIGH GRADE ORE.
A Rich Vein Discovered in the Lucky
Friday at Mullan.

Friday at Mullan.
Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Wallace Idaho, Dec. 25.-The discov-
cry of ore of remarkably high grade in
the Lucky Friday at Mullan recently
has caused considerable interest There
has been ore in small amounts in the
tunnel for several weeks. but while the
grade was good there was nothing to
arouse much enthusiasm, as the amount
was too limited. Finally however, it
was decided to do little more work in
a 75-foot shaft which was less than l0O
feet ahead of the face of the tunnel 1t
was in this shaft that the first ore had
been found on the claim, the tunnel be-
ing run to get under it. The shaft had
been abandoned as soon as ore was
found and when a few shots were put
into it last week it showed up ore clear
across the bottom of the shaft. OF this
a 10-inch streak is purely a silver ore,
carrying that metal in the richest form
ever found in the Occur d'Alenes, as
saying about 1000 ounces per ton. but
yielding only traces of lead or copper.
Work has been resumed in the tunnel,
and it will be but few weeks until 1T
is under the shaft.
Ore similar to this was found in the
Sierra Nevada in the days when that
property was being developed but as
depth was attained it turned to lead
ore, running high in silver, as Occur
d'Alene ores are graded, but nothing to
compare with the surface of the vein.
The f1ume for the Hunter is com.
pleted, the tramway almost so, and the
mill is ready for the installation of the
concentrating machinery, which is ex'
pected to arrive any day now. 1t is
hoped to have the mill ready for opera
ton by the beginning of February.
The Father Lode has started its all
compressors, only one drill being driver
by it as yet, although three more vii
be added in a few days.

Taken to Warm Springs.

Missoula. Dec. 27.-W. E. Galloway, the
22-year-old son of the well-known ranch
err at Darby, was in the city for few
hours to-day, being in the custody of
Sheriff Chaff1n, who is taking the boy to
Warm Springs. He is slightly demented,
and it was thought best .at he be taken
to the asylum, where, after being under
treatment for few weeks, he will come
around all right. The boys hobby is in
wanting to buy cattle and he has made
frequent trips to his neighbors and try
ing to buy all the stock that they had.
Sheriff Chaf1in and the boy left on this
evenings train for the Warm Springs
asylum. Mr.. Galloway, who accompa-
MED his son this far, says that he has no.
ticed that the boy was gradually failing
and tried to keep him at home. He would
be passive for a short time and then
would become uncomfortable. Mr.. CAL
loway returned to his home on this even

day at the Union.
qualities of "A Lady of Quality" which
Eugene Blair and her company of
players will present at the Union opera
house Friday, December 80, has attract
ed considerable attention throughout
the country. In many cities ministers
of the gospel have made the theme OF
the book the subject of sermon text.
A prominent divine. in speaking of the
play and book, says: THE piece nat
urally divides itself into dramatic
scenes. At the age of g. Clorinda Will
dairs becomes the companion of her
father, riotous, drinking man. At IA
she falls under the influence of Sir
John Oxon, a companion of her faith
ers, whose sole ambition is breaking
women's hearts. Here she fights out
the great temptation of a. woman's life
alone, without the aid of maternal and
virtuous training. Her moral life awak-
ems through her own courage, she be-
comes victorious over evil influences,
and the continuance of the story shows
steady strength and nobility of char
acter. While the romance has all the
inherent traits of historical fiction, it
nevertheless appeals to certain lives
which are now being lived. There are
those in our work-a-day world who re-
produce in every essential feature the
experience Of Clorinda Wildairs, or
Mistress Clorinda, as she Is called.
In staging the production Miss Blair
has spared neither time nor expense.
The scenery is elaborate. Seats are on
sale at Pierce's.

THE MURDER OF NELSON
DIR. Ellis May Be Called as a
Witness.
QUESTION OF IDENTITY
Probable That the Mssoula Dentist Will
Be Requested to Identity Some
Filings Put In Some
Years Ago.

Missoula, Dec 27.--In the fall of 1898
DR. F. F. Ellis, who was then in this
city, did some dental work for a young
Swede named Nelson. The work con-
sisted of several filings and some other
repairs to the teeth of the patient. and
the latter soon afterward left Missoula
for the backwoods of Wisconsin.
Nothing more had been heard of him
till yesterday, when L. N. Simons, in
whose employ Nelson was during his
residence in this city, received letter
from Wisconsin, asking if he knew
anything about the young man and in
particular if he knew of his having
had any dental work done while he was
here. 1t appears from the letter that
Nelson was murdered in Wisconsin the
year after he left Missoula. He had
received a sum of money that was
somewhere in the neighborhood of $500.
A veterinary surgeon, with whom he
was at the time, hit him over the head
with a bludgeon and took the money
from him, leaving him for dead. Mel
son soon recovered and made an out
cry that attracted the attention of
man on the road, who soon after met
the horse doctor and asked him what
piled that it was the racket made by
a drunken man whom he had left back
there in the woods and that no atten-
| ton need be paid to it. The inquirer
then passed on and the horse doctor
went back and finished his job, killing
Nelson for keeps the second time.
| A long time afterward the skeleton
! of Nelson was discovered. The horse
doctor was arrested and brought to
| trial and convicted His attorneys have
secured a new trial upon the ground
| that the identity of the remains was
never fully established, and this second
| trial is now approaching. friend OF
Nelson, who knew that the latter had
been in this part of the country. told
| the states attorney that Nelson haG
worked in Missoula for Mr. Simons ant
that he had had some teeth filled here
| This furnished a clew, which is now be
| ing followed up. DR.. Ellis says that he
can identify his work and Mr.. SimonS
| has wired the Wisconsin officers to tina
effect. 1t is likely that DR.. Ellis viii
be called to testify in the case.

Reno Gazette, Nov. IA: Some time
Yesterday, Miss Flo Layton, one OF the
most popular young ladies in Reno.
while laboring under a temporary fit of
insanity, drew a dull butcher knife
across her abdomen. making a danger
GUS wound. She was at the time alone
in her home on First street. Miss
Lena Monroe happened in shortly
after and discovered Miss Layton,
whom she assisted to her bed and sent
Immediately for a physician. The sad
occurrence was kept quiet until this
morning. Miss Layton is very badly
injured, SO much SO that her life is
dispsired Of.
The Virginia City Report, referring
to the above sad occurrence, says:
Private advices from Reno make the
distressing affair seem more Distress
ing. 1t appears that the unfortunate
young woman not only slashed open
her abdomen with a butcher knife,
out afterwards took a scissors and de-
liberately cut her intestines.
