MANY EXPERTS e
Clark and the ~AmaIgamated Seeking
Copper Properties.

A government official writing from
Fort Liscum, Alaska, of the Copper
river says:
'The copper people of the east are
quite extensively represented here by
their experts, among the number be-
ing w. A. Clalk's mar from thefamous
United-Verde mine in Arizona; repre-
sentatives of the ~Amelgamated copper
people, of New York; the London Ex-
ploration company and numerous cop
per mining men from San Francisco.
Any number of properties have been
bonded.

railroad circles during the summer.
The death of Henry Willard has made
some difference in regard to railroad
development, although l do not think
it will materially retard railway en-
terprises in this section.
Prom the gold-bearing Delta dis
trict, drained by the Kulkana, Kokona
and C~hestochena rivers, hear most
favorable reports, and l believe that
the C~hestochena section will be a side
issue by fall, as the Delta country
promises far more attractive returns.
"The conditions in the Copper river
valley, so far as supplies are concern
ed, is a hundredfold in advance of that

up the Copper river transporting sup
plies. You may expect actual returns
on gold production of the C~hestochena

Manner.

Peru, Ind, April 25.-Henry Huff
man, an animal trainer with the Wal
lace circus, met a horrible death this
afternoon, being killed by big Char
ley" a monster elephant.
While the elephant was bathing in
the Mississinewa river, east of Peru,
big Charley" wound his trunk around
huffman and hurled him far into the
stream. Huffman was uninjured and
when he returned, attempted to MILL
fy the elephant. The next instant he
was again grabbed by the elephant,
thrown to the bottom of .le river and
held there by the animals fore feet.
Several showmen shot at the ele-
plant, but with no effect. He broke
down fences and roamed about in the
fields, keeping everybody away from
him. Some apples loaded with strych-
nine were thrown near him and he ate

was in terrible agony. A rifle shot
then killed him.

ARE AGAIN ENJOINED
Federal Court Grants Injunction
Against Smelling Trust
and Guggenheims.

Wilmington, Del, April 25.-Judge
Gray of the United States circuit
court in this city filed an order in
trenton today for the American
Smelling and Refining Co., and NJ.
Guggenheim Sons to show cause, May
-, at Trenton, why they should not
be permanently enjoined from making
use of the recently issued $39, 200, 900
increase in the capital stock of the
smelling and refining company. A
temporary order has been granted re-
straining the sale or use of this stock,
pending a final hearing.
The suit was instituted by Irving
E. Lengle, of Reading, Pa, an owner
of $4,000 worth of the stock Of the
smelling and refining company. The
suit is a repetition of the one institut-
ed in the New Jersey state courts
by w. M. Donald, and others, which
resulted in a decision prohibiting the
issuing Of the stock and the carrying
out of a deal for the absorption of
the Guggenheim plant by the smelling
company. The effect of this decision
vas afterward nullified by effecting
of a settlement with Donald.
Lengle in mis- bill of complaint goes
over the same grounu covered by the
bill filed by Donald in the New Jersey
courts and charges that the deal in
vOlved the issuing of $45, 2OO, 900 worth
of stocn OF the American Smelling
company to the Guggenheim company
and this was $23, 600, 900 in excess of
the value of their plant and the mon
ey they we're to receive in payment.

Los Angeles railroad, both of which
are ~contendlng for a ~right-of-way near

be avoided. All present expressed a
desire that something be aone to re-

continue work until the gap between
them is closed.

been heavily reinforced within the
past few days.

one of his staff officers, and Senior de

was oorn in P~ondicherry, India, his
father being a Frenchman and his
mother a Hlndoo. 1t is also asserted

A NEW DEPARTURE.
Stockmen to Craze Sheep En- Route
to Market.

Jacob Sieben, the Cascade sheep
man, has taken a step which is a new
departure in the business in this Sec
ton, says the Fort Benton River Press.
He has bought a large tract of land
near Trempeleau, Wis. on the Bur-
lington, 1875 miles south Of St. Paul.
Nearly his whole acreage is in grass
and. he will use it for grazing his
sheep in transit to Chicago. There
are enormous sheds, three loading
chutes and large corrals, while the
farm is large enough to accommodate
six trains of sheep at the same time.
Mr.. Sieben figures OF handling sheep
belonging to others when he does not
need ali the feed himself. A. M. Crea,
of Miles City, has also bought a $50
acre farm on the Burlington closer to
st. Paul and will market his corn by
feeding it to sheep. He is investing a
large sum in sheds, corrals and other
improvements.

would not be able to identity him by
his appearance alone. He was as GER
tain of the identity of Callahan as he
was of the identity of his father and
mother.
The pony which the kidnaper rode
to telephone information to the Cud.

afternoon in connecting James Gala

North Omaha recognized the little
beast now in evidence as one which
he had sold to two strangers last Oc-

them he recognized James Callahan.
The other, he said, resembled the
