fore the Lenox Athletic Club

900. An immense crowd was
present as the contestants &C.
companied by their seconds

The fighting was hot and
heavy from start to finish but

right hand blow behind the

Hannaford came here to take
the place, but when Sinclair
arrived last evening, silver re-
publicans induced him to re.
scind his promise to the Poca-
tello man, who has gone into
the republican party. Some
old time financial dispute in
connection with Hannaford's
connection with the Knights

for the agitation against him
that resulted in the blighting
of his hopes. The republicans
have attempted to use Hanna
ford's case to estrange silver

A letter from Boise sta
Prom Tuesdays Daily.

A letter from Boise states
that to the PROPOSE
ton to re-enact all the laws
that are deemed unconstitu-
tional by omnibus bills as soon
as the Legislature is organized,
is meeting with strong opposi-
ton from unexpected quarters.
There is a strong lobby that
will oppose various measures,
such as the fee bill, the liquor
license, the anti.gambling and
other laws; and between those
who aim to make an easy way
out of the lawless condition in
which we are at present and
those opposed to particular
statutes there will be SO much
antagonism that the legisla-
lures time will be frittered
away in a useless struggle.

NEWSOME CREEK MINES.
4 Surprising Showing on the Inde-

Iron Crown.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
George w. Armour, of Spo-
kane, is in the city concluding
arrangements to bond the In.
dependent mine on Newsome
creek from Peter Froeh, bet.
ter known as French Pete.
The Independent joins the Iron
Crown mine on the west and
is developed by a shaft sunk
on the vein to a depth of 80
feet. From the bottom of the
shaft a cross-cut tunnel has
been run for a distance of Is
feet without finding walls.
The surprising feature of this
property lies in the fact that
the ground through which the
shaft was sunk gives good
gold prospects in the pan from
the grass.roots to the bottom;
still more surprising is the
statement that the entire
ground opened up by the
cross-cut gives equally good
gold prospects, as high as FIVE
cents to the pan being obtain.
ed. We are not speaking of
a placer proposition, but of a
quartz mine, and the forego.
ing statements are made on
good authority. Mr.. Armour's
bond runs for two menths.
The Iron Crown mine is al
SO making a good showing for
its owners. A Blake rock
crusher has lately been pur.
chased and will be forwarded
to the mine and installed i'm.
mediately upon its arrival, in
order to increase the capacity
of the Kinkaid mill which has
been running for some time.

May Result in a Battle.

from Washington says: "Pre.

result IN a battle at IIoilo, or
may lead to harrassing war

1t is believed that snch a ca
lamity may be averted. But
it remains for the insurgents
to determine what the result
will be. The president has
ordered General Miller to land
his troops at Iloilo. He is di-
rected to be concilatory to.
ward the natives, but at the
same time he is directed to
use force if necessary TO effect

ITO the Honorable Mayor and City

have been informed that there is a
movement on foot to rent the armory
for commercial purposes and through
the president of our organizatin, w
E. Deoney, we earnestly protest against
such action.
When volunteers were called we re-
spOnded, our organization was created
and our members devoted two after
moons and two evenings of each week
for the purpose of drill. We got into
military shape. held ourselves in readi-
ness and are still ready to respond TO
any legitimate call that may be made
upon us by nation, state, county or city.
our president is under bonds for the
safe keeping of the arms with which
we drill and he was informed by the
adJutant general that a yearly rental
was paid for the armory for the purpose
of drill
I'm conclusion. We wish to add that
in our estimation the Auditorium WAS
not erected by our citizens for the pur-
pose of private gain, nor was it erect
ed for merchandising purposes, but in
stead as a place where our citizens
could assemble for social and intellect
ual enjoyment.
The basement was intended as a
place for military drill and that you
will retain it for that purpose, pre-
serve it from the hands of private
spectators and allow the Meagher
guards the use of it one night in the
week, the same as in the past, for pur-
poses of drilling, your petitioner will
ever pray.
