RICH GOLD STRIKE IN
CITY OF HELENA, MON
Discovery Made on Site of
New Federal Building.
PANS OUT s1s TO $40 A TON

According to Terms of Contract With
the Company Constructing the Edi.
hce the Government Will Be the Sole
Beneficiary of the Discovery.
HELENA, Mon, Nov. 9.-The site of
the new federal building in this city is
the scene of a rich gold strike and by
the terms of a clause inserted in the
contract between the Chicago Construc.
tlon company of Chicago and the United
States government the latter will be the
sole beneficiary of the discovery. This
clause provides that all minerals found
on the property shall belong to the gov
ernment, consequently the construction
company will be compelled to mine the
ore, while the government will receive
the profit.
Inere nave been reports fog several
days that a strike had been made, but it
was not until today that these received
verlicatlOn, when some workmen en-
gagged IN the excavation improvised an
ore pan and panned out as high as 500.
Assays made show free milling gold of
the value of $I8 and $50 per ton
While the exact width of the vein has
not yet been ascerrained, mining ex-
perrs estimate that it will be fully 35,
perhaps 40 feet. making it strike of
large proportions. The vein extends
across the entire block from southeast
to northwest and then goes directly be-
meath the residence of Colonel Thomas
Cruise, the millionaire banker, who 90
years ago discovered the richest gold
mine in Montana, the Drum Lum-
mon, which he afterward sold to the
Rothschilds for $500, 600.

JEFFRIEs-RUHLIN FIGHT.
Both of the Heavyweights Getting
Ready For Contest.

Both of the Heavyweights Getting
Ready For Contest.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-Interest in
the Jeffries and Ruhlin fight for the
championship increases as the time for
the contest approaches. Betting has
not been heavy as yet and all the money
placed has been odds on Jeffries. The
pugllistic experts, however, declare that
Rubin will prove dangerous antago.
mist and that it will not be an easy task
for the champion to maintain his title.
Jeffries, who has been training at
Harbin Springs, came down to Oakland
last night and will do the remainder of
his preliminary work in the room of the
San francisco club and in the suburbs
of the city across the bay. 1t is his in.
tention to box Armstrong and his broth.
er alternately. He wants them to work
fast, and by giving them minutes rest
after each round expects to get the speed
he desires. He has reduced his weight
considerably and appears to be in fine
condition.
Gus Rubin Is training at a wayside
place near the city. He takes his daily
spins along the country roads on the
bayshore and exercises in an improvlsed
gymnasium. IG is claimed that the
slowness of his heart action-the normal
beating of his pulse being only 43 to the
minute-is of great advantage to him in

England will be powerless to make her
influence felt.
