In all transactions of mining nature
The Clark and Heinze forces are lined
up for another battle over the property
that is the opinion of those cognizant
of the situation in it's entirety. So far
as minerals are concerned the Woolman
lode has always been deemed almost
worthless. but the alleged discovery that
ard or the late acquisition side has
caused the Heinze people to change their
minds. 1t can easily be seen that if the
lode has been mined a man purchasing
the claim at this time would have
grounds for q suit to recover the value
of the ore that has already been ex-
tracted. Color is given to the theory
that the lode has been mined by the
eagerness displayed by the Clark peo.
pie to secure possession of the property
themselves, thereby at one stroke secur-
ing a valuable mining ground and de-
troying all danger of suit.
1t is said that Heinze has secured
enough property already, however, to
give him the basis for a suit. If this
is true. the battle will soon be on.

Saturday the blow fell. The Butte C.
A. r. received a letter from F. F. Adams,
well known G. A. r. man of Seattle
and a clothier there. He sent a bill for
the post to collect from The Visitor for
$1O.85. He did not say whether it was
for clothes or a loan. He said If they
collected it they could turn it into the
relief fund. He added that number Of

for various sums by the woman.
The G. A. r. discussed the subject and

NEW ARMY OFFICERS MUST Be
EXAMINED.
HUNDREDS LIKELY TO FAIL
Presidents Favor Does Not Insure
Their Final Selection-Reorganized
Service to Be Ready by August 1
-75, 900 Troops the Accepted Basis
for the Standing Army.
(By Associated Press.)

washington, April 30.--At the war de.
partment it is said that efforts are be-
ing made to have the reorganized stand
ing army fully officered and equipped and
enlisted to strength Of 5000 by August /.
More apprehension Is felt over getting
the tull quota of competent line officers
by the date mentioned than over the
recruiting fine fifteen new regiments,
Except for this. it is probable that Sec
retary Root and Adjutant General Cor
bin would have accompanied the presi-
dent on his western trip.
1t Is true that nearly all of the 500
or more line officers of the grades Of
first and second lieutenants created by
the new law. have been designated by
the president, but every one of these
appointees must undergo rapid mental
and physical examination before COM
missions in the regular army are issued
to them. On the law of averages 1t is
estimated by experienced army officers
that fully one-third and perhaps half Of
those originally designed by the presi-
dent for appointment will fail either
on mental or physical examination.
In order to meet this exigency lists
of alternates by states are being pre-
pared by the secretary OF war and the
adjutant general, to whom the president
has turned this tax over. The alternates
are being selected from the long list OF
applications now on file in the war de-
partment, with reference of course, to
the wishes of senators and other influ-
entail men in the several states.
In order to expedite the work of dis-
posing Of the hundreds of applicants ale
ready selected by the president. Secre-
tary Root and General Corbin will ap.
point a dozen or more boards of exam.
iners to sit in various parts of the coun.
try, where the convenience of the ap.
pointees will be best served. Whenever
an appointee fails to pass the exam
ination the name of the first alternate
from his state will be certified to the
board for examination and this process
will be continued until the full quota
of sub-alternates created by the new
law is complete.
1t is not thought that the examina-
tion will be in full swing for six weeks.
or two months and on this expectation
is based the reckoning that not until
August l will all the new officers be se-
lected. This will not interfere with the
organization of the new regiments or
the sending of fresh troops to the Phil.
ippines to take the place Of the return-
Ing volunteers.

The old saying "There is no fool like

end Of the transaction is young and
either beautiful, or fascinating, but in
this instance she admits some fifty years.
At the time of the annual encampment

mare her appearance in Butte.
Her coming had been heralded by tele-
gram from some man in Kansas City
He purported to be an old G. A. r. man
and that the woman in question was his
wife and member of the Relief Corps.
Then came telegram directed to
President Almon of the Relief Corps,
asking that the corps pay attention to
to do so. although no one knew any,
thing of her or about her. She made
her appearance at the camp fire in the
Auditorium and the way she gathered
the old soldiers around her was a sight
Then she introduced little rush act
and before the majority knew what was
going on The Visitor was on the plat
form throwing figurative bouquets at the
G. A. r. Relief Corps and narrating sew
eral anecdotes, making them all applica-
BILE to herself and her most remarkable
career as she expressed it.
The Visitor is an elOcutiOnist, and
when she ended her talk with recita-

They waited on her and when she left

She held out as an inducement that

went up. It transpired, however, that
Mojeska did not know the fair and fad

had also caught the reporters OF the

Especial to Inter Noun ntain.)

New York, April 3O.-Instead of enter
ing into an active independent war with
the Pennsylvania road by the construc-
ton of a new line of road into Pittsburg.
George Gould has come to terms with the
Pennsylvania officials by which they will
divide the trade of the great iron district.
Gould had planned to use the Wabash as
a connecting link between his western
reads and the new line he expected to
build from Ohio direct to Pittsburg. The
Pennsylvania road, however. jealous of
the coming of new road into what had
been their exclusive territory, has made
overtures which will result in the Wa
bash getting it's line to Pittsburg only by
traffic agreement, using one Of the Penn
sylvania lines instead Of building new
one. This will benefit both roads. and
remove the element Of active competition.
The Gould interests might have persist

the sake of the great traffic from the iron
districts. had it not been for the fear of
the injury n open break could do in d.
