Hill and His Methods.

Hill is the only politician who ever
has been in Albany, Victor Smith as
serts. that the correspondents would
not trust. He is free enough in his talk,
but to tell when he is in earnest and
when he is playing for position, few
can guess. He has no close friend in
the newspaper world, and in this re-
spect stands almost alone among poll
ticians. And the reason of it is that he
would not hesitate to use them If he
could. He gives his condolences to no
one, and no greater mistake than this
could politician be guilty Of. Nine
times out of ten the political reporter
is better Judge not only of what to
do, but Of when to do 1t and how than

a good story has been stopped by the
unselfish advice of newspaper cores
pondents. With Hill 1t is and has been
different. He imparts no condolences
and receives none. His moves are re-
ported exclusively, as would be the
chess plays of a master, with no malice
at his failures, but with no heart in
his triumphs.

A STORY SENT OUT FROM BUTTE
ABOUT ALLEGED DEATH OF

BY AN EXPLOSION IN A
MADISON COUNTY MINE.
Getchell's Parents in the East Have
Been Endeavoring to Locate one
Nathan Noble.

The mystery surrounding the alleged
death of Leslie s. Getchen by an eNplo-
sion in a Madison county min grows
deeper at every revolution of tAe Wheel

solve the affair.

father in Watervil!e. Maine. a letter TO
the effect that young Getchell had been
killed by an explosion in a mine on that
daaa. The letter was written in Butte,
a letter head Of the Butte hotel being
used. but for some reason it WAS not
mailed until the Goth. The letter was
as follows:
Butte, Mont. Nov. Is. 1900.
Walter Getchell. Esq, Watervlle, Me.
Dear Sir-You SON.. l.. :. Getchell, was
killed by explosion in mine on November
it in Madison county Your friend,
NATHAN NOBLE"
AS there appeared to be something
mysterious about the matter, MT.
Getchell took Attorney Harry D. Eaton
CT Watertown into the case. and since
then Mr.. Eaton has been trying to ma
out who Nathan Noble is, with a view
to ascertaining from him more about the
ALLEGED death of Leslie :. Getcheil. In
view of the fact that Butte hotel sta
1ionery was used by Noble Mr.. Eaton
te~leeraphed and wrote Hugh l. Wilson,
manager of the hotel, for Information
regarding both Noble and the alleged
death of Getchell. but Mr.. Wilson could
give him none. No such name as Ma
than Noble appears on the register.
and as for young Getchell. he knows
nothing about him and cannot find any
one who does know. One of the letters
received from Eaton by Mr.. Wilson con-
tains the following:
Leslie S. Getchell referred TO in Nible's
letter has been in Montana about twelve
years. and lived in Bozeman until about
five years ago. Since that time he has
been in Butte most of the time, and near
ly all letters received here from him
/ nave been on your hotel stationery. Your

! ceived, and l now wish to ask you II
YOU know Mr.. Getchell; and if so. have
YOU seen or heard Of him since the 18th
of November? Is he stopping at your
house or in the city so far as YOU car
learn? Do you know any such party as
Nathan Noble? If so. what is his bust
ness and address? The letter received
though dated Nov. IS, was postmarked
Butte. Nov. 60
There is a young man named Getchel
in the city. but whether he is the one
supposed to be dead is not Known. This
whole affair at this end OF the line has

JOHN j. MASON. A H1GHWAYMAN
MAY ESCAPE JUST PUN
ISHMENT.
NEW TRIAL GRANTED
ON A TECHNlCAllTY.
Now the Chief Witness Against Him is
Out of State and May Not Be
Secured.

john J. Mason. one of a pair OF
precious worthless accused of having held
up the inmates of the Fountain and Re-
about two years ago, will doubtless be
turned loose in a few days. His alleged
partner in the crime was one Lacey. VINO
escaped punishment because his identity
was not fully established. With Mason,
however, it was different. He has IA
crooked finger, and at the time of the
robbery he allowed it to be seen by those
he had under cover. His trial resulted
in his conviction, and Judge Clancy sen-
fenced him to twenty years in the peni-
tertiary, but through a technicalty IN
the proceedings the supreme court
granted him a new trial. This trial was
to have been commenced in Judge Clam
cy's court today, but when the matter
was brought up the county attorney
stated to the judge that Rosario Levitrc.
the complaining witness, was out of the
state. he being in Boise dahl and it
was doubtful if he could he produced in
court.
There was other business on hand for
the judge and prosecuting attorney, ana
in view of this fact it was decided TO
allow the Mason case to rest until it is
finished. which will probably be at the
end of three or four days.
Mason has already served more mar
a year of his twenty-year term, having
been returned from the penitentiary only
a few weeks ago.

successful than the similar Russian or
ganization in Siberia. At one time il
was thought that owing to the facility
with which the Russians consorted with
Asiatics, the result of this immigration
would be the SlaviZing of the Chinese.
1t now seems more probable hat the
Chinese will absorb the Slavs. A very
distinguished Russian traveller told me
last year that on the frontier the Rus
sian colonists had already forgotten
their own tongue. while in lrkutsk a
pigeon Russian is freely spoken. In
short he added, while we Russians
have been meditating the political con-
quest of China, the Chinese have begun
the economic conquest of Siberia" The
worst of 1t is that Russia has mt remedy
at hand, for she cannot exclude Chinese
immigration without compromising the
economc progress Of Siberia and aban-
doning her friendly policy at Pekin.-

Ferguson. a noted expert, who was as
sociated with John Hayes Hammond for
a long time, left Butte yesterday for Spo-
kane, and win visit the Sumpter, Ore

Governor Macintosh in an interview in
the Inter Mountain last week, denied all
connection with the Boss Tweed-Clipper
deal at Pony, but his assertions in this
particular are not borne out by the facts.
Gov. Macintosh visited England for the
purpose of Interesting capital in the
mines named, and it is said met with
good success. The local mining men, who
nave an option on the group until next
month, are not inclined to discuss the
matter, but it is generally understood
that the second payment will be made
in January, and that arrangements will
be made later to take up the bond and
begin the construction Of a big mill to
treat the ore.
