A RACE F0R A MINE.
Brief Description Of q Midwinses
Dash TO Locate the La
FIeur Nine.

An exciting race for a mine took
placein February. 1896. For many years
Il had been known that the Colville
Indian reservation was rich in min
erals, and prospectors had slipped In,
Guiding the vigilance of the Indian
police, to explore the mountains In
northern Washington, But long be-
fore white men had entered the In
dams knew that the top Of a low
mountain near the nations border
line was covered with bright blue
stones, so gaudy that many were car
ried of and placed in the wigwams.
The prospectors knew that these gay
stones betokened the existence OF cop.
per veins, and many a hungry eye was
cast at the rock-strewn patch OF
ground before the government lifted
the han that kept out palsfacs In
truders. says Eugene B. Palmer in

cation.
Waiting for the president to sign
the formal proclamation, two parties
quietly entered the forbidden terri
tory and camped alongside the prom
Using vein. At Marcus, the nearest
telegraph station, two young men
waited with tense nerves for the first
tick that would tell that tho presi'
dent had signed the proclamation. I,
was q cold, gray, winter day, and the
snow was piled high. Late in the aft
ernoou the word came, and there was
a simultaneous dash for the horses
that were waiting outside. Then the
race began. Plunging through drifts
tumbling down declines, toiling des'
perately up steep hills and bounding
at full speed over the level stretches
these two horses bore their riders.
Somtimes one was ahead and some.
times the other. The sun disappeared
and the hurrying pair Numbered along
through the deepening twilight, and
then in the light OF the stars reflected
by the g~listening snow. Spurs were
plunged so deep that lecks OF blood
stained the snow. Almost side by side
they scrambled up the mountain. The
yells OF the riders were heard / the
distance by the rival watchers, who
did not wait a further hint, but drove
the stakes that were to locate the
La Fleur mine.
Then followed wordy disputes, As,
fights and the Hourishing of Win.
chesters, but before the mine wa.
christened with blood one party con.
eluded to withdraw and fight It's bat

There was a fair volume Of business in stocks
at the opening yesterday. but the trading soon

The situation as to the steel strike was MADE
,oIerablv clear by the putting Of the strike
order irto general effect. The fact that the
number of men who stopped work was far
smaller than the strike leaders had expected
created the belief that the strike failure

overtures for a settlement might come from the
men when they were convinced of the hopeless
