SQUELCHED A MUTINY
ANECDOTE OF "BOBS" THE BRIT.
ISH COMMANDER
Harsh Measures We're Necessary Just
at That Time, and He Ordered an
English Soldier Shot for Insubordin-
ation-It Took Place In India.

"Gen. Lord Roberts of Kandahar,
Kipling's 'Bobs Bahadur,' was the last
English general to order the execution
of a private soldier for insubordina-
ton," said visitor to Washington,
who has seen service under her Majes-
tvs flag.
"It was away back In the '70s; but
the incident is still very clear In the
memory of old soldiers, and has been
handed down with every possible eX-
aggeration for the delectation of the
recrultie,' who listens to the barrack-
room tales told for the express purpose
of striking terror and horror to his un-
hardened heart.
"The story is revivified now. 1t con-
tributes something to illustrate the
man who Is beloved and feared by rank
and file, and Notwithstanding his deter
mined and exacting discipline, is con-
ceded to be England's ranking soldier
among good soldiers.
'The Indian contingent has always
been ticklish department to handle.
Roberts did more than any one man to
bring them to a realization of what dis
cipline really means. To-day, thanks
to him, there is less grumbling, less un-
easiness, and less chance Of revolt than
ever there has been since first the ma
tive wore the uniform, and even now
extreme measures are necessary.
"But Roberts, once upon a time about
the year 1873, found himself threatened
with q serious situation. The native
troops were uneasy. The English SOL
dieS, too, In the case of several regi-
ments that had been kept overtime on
Indian service, were kicking loud and
strong. The mouthing of the men Of
the English regiments was bad ex-
ample to the natives. 1t disorganized
everything, and the punishments were
made severe upon offenders who gave
opportunity. But insubordination was
rife. 1t needed but a little spark to
kindle the whole command into blaze,
In which many lives must have been
sacrificed and the prestige Of the COM
manding officer lost.
zone day drunken private was in
solent to a corporal Of one Of the regi-
ments. The 'non-com.' ordered the man
to the guard house. A lance-corporal
of the room called out file of men.
One Of these refused to act as escort.
He had slept in the next bed to the
prisoner for years, he protested. They
We're army bed chums.' He, too, was
made prisoner, and the charge Of in
subordination and refusal to obey Or
ders entered against him. 1t was a
high crime. A general court martial
was ordered, the man was sentenced to
be shot, and the sentence was approved
by Gen. Roberts.
Before the assembled regiments at
Calcutta he was taken out and died ig-
ANONYMOUSLY with his face to the wall.
ut was terrible and effective les
son. The spirit of insubordination was
dead, but the department issued an Or
der, religlously observed since then, to
the effect that where others are avail
able, bed chum' cannot be ordered
to act as escort"

Cured Saturday night and Sunday. 1t
commenced Saturday e1ening and Sun
day morning fully twenty inches of snow
had fallen. 1t continued showing all day
Sunday, Monday and up to Wednesday
morning, it being estimated that fully
five feet of SHOW had fallen meanwhile.
Sunday being Easter, the weather put a
damper on Easter hats. The road to
Russell Gulch was blocked up Monday
morning, the snow being six to eight feet
deep in places. Communication with
Perigo, Gilpin and Yankee Hill has been
cut off, and the snow at those places
must be quite deep.
The passenger train left on time Sun
day morning, but upon its return from
Forks Creek was delayed two hours ar
irving at Black Hawk. From there 1t
took almost five hours to reach Central,
after good hard work bucking snow on
the high line. The train returned i'm
mediately TO the Forks Creek for the
evening train, and upon its return again
encountered heavy track, and when op.

and water and coal being gone, the en-
gne could not go either way and it re.
mainel there until the followinp morn
ing when an extra engine arrived from
Golden and pushed the train to Black
Hawk. Trains arrived in Black Hawk
but no passenger train came to Central
until last evening. The high line was
opened up Tuesday afternoon by two
engines, and Wednesday afternoon two
freight trains with two engines on each
brought up a part of the accumulated
freight to Central.
The performance of "Black Crook Jr,"
billed for the Opera House last Sunday
was postponed owing to the extreme bad
weaih n.
Several of the mills at Black Hawk
were compelled to close down owing to
scarcity OF ore. Several OF the mir es
were also compelled t. stop hoisting ore,
and use the coal on hand for pumping
purposes only.
The storm has effected all classes of
business, and is by far the worst storm
experienced in Gilpin county for the en-
tire winter.

MECHANICS LIENS ON MINING PROP
ERTY IN COLORADO.

The Supreme court OF Colorado, in the
case of Wilkins vs.. Axell, places the fol-
lowing construction Of the Mechanics
lien act OF Colorado as amended session
laws 1895, page POP, section s., providing
for lien against mining property in
favor of those who do work or furnish
material for the development of mines.
The court held that it applies only
where such work or material is furnished
on a contract made with the owner OF
the property, or one acting by his
authority as agent or contractor, and
not where the contract was made by and
for the benefit OF a lessee. For the lessee
OF mining property is not the agent OF
the owner, but simply has justified in
terest in tho property, which entities
him TO the use OF it for his own benefit
The Office OF a proviso in legislative
enactment is TO limit, rather than to en-
large, and the proviso in section OF the
above act, that the section shall not ap.
ply to owners OF mines who lease the
same in small blocks does not enlarge
the section by making it apply to all
owners who do not lease their lands.

RESUMED SINKING.

Last week, Manager p. Mccain of the
Kansas Burroughs Consolidated mining
company, resumed sinking in the shaft
on the PhGnix-Burroughs lode on
Quartz hill. The shaft at present has a
depth of HOO feet. A lift of 100 feet will
be sunk. The crevice matter at the
present depth is unusually wide. 1t is
thought that in going down an additional
LOO feet the crevice matter will lessen in
width and that the values in the ore will
increase.

BROWNS DIVINING ROD.

Fred N. Brown of Chicago, has been
successful in obtaining a patent in a
field where every previous applicant has
failed. In the patent reports it is de-
scrlbed as process OF locating min
erals or buried treasures" and in all a
description of the details ofoperation it
is said to be process which consists of
establishing circuit of alternating cur
rent through definite distance of the
earth, then measuring the resistance of
such current, then establishing a cir
cult of similar current through the
same distance of the earth at various
other points in the same vicinity and
measuring the resistance to each cur
rent at each point and finally compar-
ing such measurements. The only diff
ference between Mr.. Brown and his pre-
'decessors who have applied for patents
on divining rods is that he knows how to
describe the twistings and turnings of a
witch hazel fork or modern metallic
substitute in scientific terms and ac-
count for the gyrations by attributing
them to the results of electric in
huences.

mine on Bobtail hill, north of the Cook
Gold Mining company's Cook mine, has
resumed sinking, connections having
>been made with the 250 foot east level of
the Peterson mine, which lies east of
the Puzzle and on the same vein. very

collar Of the two shafts, the Puzzle shaft
being higher up the mountain than the

TENDENCY OF MODERN METAL
LGRGY

The Mining and Scientific Press says
the present tendency of modern metal
lurgy is to pay the greatest attention to
the profitable treatment of low grade
ores that occurs in considerable guam
tity. Time was when only high grade
ore was worthy of consideration. Now,
such ore is "able to take care of ITSELF"
and the large boly of low grade ore is
looked upon as affording most probable
likelihood of permanent profit in the
working. No ora is now too low grade
to be successfully treated if it exists in
quantities sufficient to justify the cree
tion of works ON scale that would en-
able it to be treated in continuously
large quantities. In this regard it is a
noticeable fact that among the best
mine-dividend payers are low grade
properties, some Of whose ores yield a
value of less than 50 per ton.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

EDITOR PRESS:
Dear Sir:-Would you kindly correc t
the article in your paper of this week in
reference to the Woodmen of the World
entertainment; since you gave it a
write-up, l would especially desire that
you give each participant the same
notice. We consider that had tnot been
for the assistance of some of the young
ladies our entertainment would have
fallen very fiat; but as it was we we're
very highly praised by the state deputy
and Sow. Farmer as having given them the
best entertainment since they have been
in North Dakota. This fact we do not
wish to lose sight of, as it speaks we'll for
Dickinson and the Young people in it.
AAS PAS6aohA 40 ASAAOClSu was q
credit to each participant and should re-
ceive more than a passing notice, and if
you will kindly make mention of the
same, giving the name of each partici-
pant as they appeared on the program,
you will confer a lasting favor upon the
Woodmen of the World of Dickinson:
The two vocal solos by Miss Vera
| Slack were we'll rendered and we'll re-
ceived.
The piano duet by Miss Emma
Messersmith and Miss Lulu Rowell was
also a prominent feature of the evenings
entertainment.
The club swinging drill by Miss Pau
line Scofeld, Miss Mabel Currie, Miss
Josephine Deffebach, Miss Henrietta
Fox and Miss Florence Dunn was highly
pleasing and showed a proficiency which
many of their elders have not attained
and reflects great credit upon their drill
master. Miss Pauline Scofeld as cap
tain of the team, deserves credit for the
manner in which the young ladies con-
Quoted themselves in the march on and
off the stage, and as they kept correct
time to the music as rendered by the
pianist, Miss Messersmith, shows great
skill in their drill. For the services of
each young lady who took part in the
entertainment, the Woodman of the
World have decided to present them
with an appropriate memento in appre-
citation of their kind assistance in max.
ing our entertainment the success it was,
We hope to give these entertainments at
regular intervals during the fall and win.
ter months, and earnestly desire the
recognition of the press of Dickinson.
Hoping you will kindly alter the state.
ment of last week, l remain.
Yours truly,
