UP TO HIS NECK.
Makes a Sensationally Rich
Strike in the Carroll B.

The reliable information leaked out last
evening that the Carroll r mine In Pleas.
ant Valley district was showing sensa.
,ional values and an investigation by a
Democrat representative dscloses the fact
that the developments in the Carroll b
are even more extensive than was first
given out. ... ...- Efa.rF.
For a week past drifting on the rich vein
has continued and day bv day the ore has
become richer until at this time the face OF
the DRIFT looks like show window IN a
jewelry shop.
Yesterday some Of the ore was brought
to town. The samples are as rich as ever
were seen here.
The strike was made In continuing the
drift at the 20 foot level. The streak from
which this ore is being taken Is 8 inches
wide and Is on the han ging wall side OF a
4 foot vein that goes $50 or more TO the
ton.
W. /. Vinson, whom everybody In the
northern mining world knows, is In con.
troll Of the Carroll B, having a bond on
the property from the owners, Hon. c. A.
Johns and James l.. Baisley, Of this city.
He Is extensively developing the property
and at this moment there Is enough Of
gold In sight to pay for the mine and leave
neat overplus. Several tons Of the ore
sacked will 20 $40 to the pound.
Mr.. Vinson Is having all the buildings
necessary for convenient and comfortable
working erected at the mine and large
force Of men will soon be employed.
The mine Is not open for inspection. A
close guard Is kept and no one Is allowed
In or around the mine close to the work

A MINER representative, In order Ia
verify the apparently sensational news Of
WI. Vinson's great strike In the Car
rol B mine, went down there and did the
Missouri act; let them "show him."
That Mr.. Vinson Is certainly one Of the
lucky few, there is no doubt. On pros

"stringer" and "poekety" district, ant

De Vets exploit is not moderated, but
is commented upon as an incident which
Will revive Dutch courage and prolong
the period Of hostilities indefinitely. BY
a strange coincidence it has occurred on
the eve of Lord Roberts departure from
South Africa and Lord kitchenerfs as
sumption of the chief command and it
also has been timed for the retirement of
Lord Wolseley from the headquarters of
the British army.
The grim irony of the situation has
even q keener edge when the sorties of

PARDONS WILLIAM HOWARD,
Gov. Smith Has a Busy Day-Sen-
fences Shortened.

Helena, Nov. observation-disclosures
Smith today granted full pardon to Will
liam Howard, who is serving a term of
six years at Deer Lodge for Jail break
ing. He also granted dimunition of sem
tence in four other cases.
Howard was sent up from Missoula in
May, 1896, when he was eighteen years
old, to serve three years for burglary.
In the summer of 1898 with several other
prisoners he escaped, and upon recap
ture was tried for Jail breaking, and
sentenced to six years more. His youth
and the fact that evera others who es-
capped with him received less punishment
led the governor to pardon Howard
Strong petitions We're presented in behalf
of the prisoner.
Thirty days dimunition of sentence
was granted in the case of John O'Neill,
committed for one year from Silver Bow
county. February -. 1899, for burglary;
Oscar Aitkin, committed from Silver
O county for two years, April IS, 1898,
for forgery: J. c. Murray, committed for
one year, March ,, 1899, from Choteau
county. for forgery.
Sixty days dimunition of sentence was
granted to John McMeel, Who was sent
up for three years from Choteau county
September Is, 1898, for grand larceny.
The action was taken on r5comGnenda-
ton of Conley and McTague. who testi-
fled to the good conduct of the prisoner.
The supreme court denied the arDlica-
ton of Joseph A. Coleman, of Butte,
for examination for admission TO prac-
tice before the bar. The application was
denied because Coleman was too late and
failed to comply with the rules of the
court.

AN AUSTRIAN'S VIEW.
Ratzenhof Lectures on the South Afri-
can War.

New York, Dec. IA despatch to the
Herald from Vienna says: A very sensa-
tiona lecture has just been delivered on
the wal in South Africa. before the mil
!tary and scientific society, by one of the
most distinguished of Austrian gentle
men, Field Marshal iiatZenhoff.
He said the British officers Were excel
lent. filled with the idea of England's
greatness. and daring to a fault. This
very daring caused the troops to fbei led
without tactical precautions, which ex-
planned the great loss of officers and the
comparatively small loss of soldiers. In
conclusion, Field Marshal R~atzenhoff
said: What will England do for men
for her army? The same as she did after
the Crimean war. the Indian mutiny and
the Afghan campaign-that is to say,
nothing. Unimportant reforms may be
made by parliament, but little is needed.

United States. We are still anxious to
come to an understandings, and there
are indications that Mr.. Mckinley ia
vorS a compromise. 1t is clear that
Judge Taft goes beyond his instructions
and that Mr.. Mckinley is prepared to
give greater concessions than Judge
Taft. 1t is true that a large number
of Filipinos are locking to European
countries. At least sixty are now in
London. The junta is content to await
till the Americans are tired of losing
officers and men by deaths from sick
ness. We hope and believe better times

Sir Thomas Upton recently has been
considering the proposal to send sham
rock /. into American waters for a
series of trial races with Shamrock II.
However, while he is nxiou to give
the new yacht every chance, he feels
pledged to the Glasgow exhibition COM
mittee to race the older boat in the
international match which the COM
mittee has arranged to take place on
the Clyde. Therefore it is improbable
that both boats will cross the atlantic,
as NJ. Watson only desired to see nov
the new and old yachts ompare and
he believes this can be done on the
Clyde.
The only alterations vet made in
Shamrock |. are to replace her corroded
plates. improve her sheer plates and re

Mr.. Joseph H. Choate. the United

the Thanksgiving dinner given at the

American society in London, referred
loosely to the "~long-eared" reporters.
which has evidently not been consid-
cred by the English press to be as
humorous as intended, for the papers
dismiss the speech with a few lines.
The Pail Nall Gazette says: Mr..
Choate was naturally jubilant last
night, as Americans always are on
Thanksgiving day. There is no false
modesty about them. They have not
written their 'Recessional' yet, and if
any poet were to oblige them with one
unasked, they would promptly put it in
the fire. A great people, a young people,
an expanding people: a people that can
lick creation-that's the sort of people
to enjoy heartily Thanksgiving day"

to- REINFORCE the federals in Guayamo
and a bloody street fight followed.
ThreeI men and "a woman were killed,
while $50 others, including several po-
licemen, were wounded. Several of
these Will die.
Armed bands paraded the streets
this morning, shooting and shout
ing and terrorizing the town. The
whole district is. arming and the po-
lice force is utterly unable to cope with
the rioters. The. parties are about
equally divided in numbers. Leaders
of the republicans are urging their fol-
lowers not to engage in rioting, but
the federals are determined to avenge
the San Juan affair and further blood
shed is expected. Animosity between
federals and republicans is increasing
as the time for the election approaches,
and all over the island are evidences
that trouble may break out at any
| moment.
