FOR BUFFALO HUMP

Charles sweeny of the firm of Clark &
Sweeny of Spokane is in the city pur-
chasing machinery for his properties in
the Occur d'Alene country. Mr.. Sweeny
was n of the first purchasers of min

try. He bonded a property for $3.50, 600
for Sam I. silverman, but after a few
weeks development work suspended OPP
erations. chiefly because the mine did
not come up to expectations.
MI. Sweeny is now developing the EN-
pire State mine, near Wardner, Idaho.
which is paying $1,000 per year divi-
dends. 1t Is a silver-lead property and
n of the best in that section Of the

Mr.. Sweeny has also been interested in

camp, with three great mines in active
operation-the LIE Roi, Center Star and

Charles Prisk was found in the rear of
the Golden Gate saloon this morning, UNI
conscious, with two gashes in his head.
He was taken to the city Jail, where DR..
Alexander attended him. The cash was
not a deep one, but the doctor concluded
that Prisk was in a serious condition.
His right side was paralyzed, indicating
a fracture of the skull, Inc he was re-
moved to st. Paul's hospital, where DR..
Wells will perform an operation this
afternoon.
The injured man was examined by DR..
Lobb. who is of the opinion that he is in
a critical condition. DR.. Lobb says that
unless h operation proves successful
Prisk may die. He says the Wounds are
OF the kind that might have been inflicted
with a Ratchet or some such instru-
ment.
The police have been working on the
case, but have been able to learn but
little.
Prisk came to the city several days ago
from Granite, with money. which he pro-
ceede to spend. He was in the Golden
Gate saloon a number of times last night.
Further than this they could learn moth

Comment on the State OF Affairs in
South Africa Opinions as
to Outcome.

Inc military experts and critics o1
Butte, who. each day fight over again
the battles of the British-Boer war. are
doing all kinds Of guessing just now
ana ON every street corner all kinds OF
opinions can be heard relative to the
bloody controversy now going on in
South Africa.
The news of the British losses at Spion-
kop, which are supposed to be even
greater than the published accounts, &C.
casioned great regret among the Eng
lish-American residents of the city ana
others whose sympathies are with the
mother country in the struggle. The
members of the various lodges of the

large sum of money, which will be do

for the support of the widows and or

has lost a large number of it's members
in the war n the money raised will
be used largely for their widows and or

scriptiOns have been very liberal, contri-
buttons being received from the mining

great number of lives ON both sides.
Il find that a great man people in
Butte and especially among the labor
unions, entertain erroneous impressions
relative to this war;" said a gentleman
to-day whose sympathies are with the
British. Some of the miners who have
recently returned from South Africa have
stated that If England wins the wage
of the miners in the Transvaal will be
reduced. I think that is a mighty poor
argument and I feel certain that if the
Beers should be successful, the miners
would have no wages at all.

Paul and his followers have no more
use for an Irishman or a Catholic than

from time to time but they seem to have

Christian not having much knowledge

through an interpreter. He said his wife
was an irresponsible person, and while
he was willing to take care of the chill
dren he drew the line there; that HI was
not at work now. He had been working
on the hill, but numerous attacks on his
salary by persons who alleged he owed
them money had disheartened him and
he had abdicated. A doctor had at
tached his wages for 800, the contrac-
ton OF which he knew nothing about. as
he had never solicited his services and
vas not aware that any one else had
done so. Some attorneys had bounced
upon his hard-earned cash for alleged
services for his wife and reduced the sum
total to a handsome figure in the red.
He had witnesses to prove his asser-
tions against his wife.
Chairman Clark told him II was mt
right for him to bring children into the
world and then throw them upon the
charity of others, and advised him to get
a divorce from his wife, secure the GUS
