NEW MAMMOTH
CAVE DISCOVERED

a new and wonderful natural cave,
and what is believed to be one of the
largest known has just been discovered
in the canyon of the jefferson, on the
line of the Northern Pacific Railway,
about fifty miles east of Butte. An eX-
ploratiOn party from Butte spent sew
eral days in the cave, going over an
area of ten miles and to a depth of
nearly one thousand feet. a large
river, with a cataract of about 100 feet,
was explored for a distance of several
miles without discovering it's source or
outlet.
A few articles of stone, and copper
utensils, and some bones believed to be
human bones were also found in one
of the large apartments of the cave.
There were other evidences that at
some time in a prehistoric period the
cave was inhabited. II is believed that
an earthquake closed the entrance to
the cave and killed its inhabitants,
The formation of stalactite and other
decorations throughout the cave is
most beautiful.

HAsKELLs CHRISTMAS PRESENT.
Was Pardoned by Governor Dole-Stole
Two Nickel Cigars.

Frank ID. Haskell, who was serving
larceny was pardoned by Governor
Dole on Tuesday after having served
out ten months of his sentence.
The petition under which Haskell
made application for the remission of
his sentence was dated December 10,
and in begging for clemency the pris-
.oner claimed that his sentence was dis
proportioned TO his crime, also promis-
ing to leave the Islands for California
Immediately if pardoned, having suffi-
cient means for the expense of the voy-
age.
Haskell was found guilty of having
stolen two cigars of the value of ten
cents from Chinaman named All Lee
Ong in October, 1900.
The prisoner was first sentenced by
Judge Humphreys to a fine of $1,000 and
costs to be paid for by hard labor at
the rate of fifty cents a day. This was
afterwards annulled and a two years
sentence at hard labor substituted,
Judge Humphreys claiming that under
the first sentence Haskell could escape
after one years imprisonment by
claiming the provisions of the poor
cOnvict's act.
Haskell had previously served a short
Jail sentence for carrying a deadly
weapon and had also been arrested for
gambling the case being nOlle pros.
The conviction under which Haskell
was sentenced by Judge Humphreys
for the long term was larceny in the
second degree.

again called up. The discussion of It
turned upon motion made by senator
Jones of Arkansas to- recommit the mo-
minatiou to the Committee on Judi
ciary in the meantime publishing the
testimony bearing on the case.
Speeches I'm favor of this proposition
We're made by senators Jones and Tur-
uer and i'm opposition 10y Senators
Hoar and Pettus. 1t was cuutended by
the two Senators last named that the
only evidence presented against con-
hrmatiun had been filed by members of
the Antitrust League and was very
vague and indefinite. The Senators
fayurnE the motion said that if this
We're true there could be no objection
on the part Of the friends of the Attor-
ney General to placing all the facts
within reach of the public and the more
time the committee should give to the
subject the more the public would
be convinced of the fairness of
its position when ultimately taken.
They dwelt at some length up
on the charge made that the Attorney
General, previous to entering upon the
duties of that office, had been attorney
for the United States Steel Corporation
and the armor plate manufacturers. In
reply to these accusations it was said
that it was Legitimate for an attorney
in private life to represent any interest
in his official capacity, and it was
argued that his position as counselor
for those interests could not be used
legitimately against him in connection
with his nomination to a position under
the present administration. So long as
he had conducted himself with propri-
.ety his relationship as an attorney
should not be used to his injury as an
official. The motion to recommit was
lost. The ballot stood 43 to Z. There
was no roll call on the motion to con-
firm, which Immediately followed.
