The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-09-18

Wallace himself claims no personal
credit whatever for it, either for its in
Vention or it's merits. The magnet IS
contained in a short piece of hickory
wood about five inches in length. oval
in its circumference and in one end coz
tains two parallel holes bored to nearly
the other end of the stick. In these two
holes is loaded the solid substance OF
this mys terious magnet to within about
one-half inch of the end. In these two
holes Mr.. Wallace inserts two timber
sticks to enable him to hold the magnet
fa1 removed from his hands so that the
mineral attraction of ore body on the
magnet will have a more positive lndl-
cation upon the hands by reason of its
long leverage. In this way the slightest
draft on the magnet is distinctly dis
Cernible and he claims to be able With
it TO locate infinitely not only the ore
Ecdy. but both walls of the ledge and
tell exactly whether it is gold. copper
or lead and silver. using of course the
different magnets for different charac-
ters of ores.
MI Wallace does not claim that he
can locate the distance of an ore body
from the surface. that question being a
matter of speculation in no wise indi-
Gated by the magnet. OUT he hectares
that he can tell wheth it is a rich ore
body or a poor one. AS a test of the ac-
curacy of his instrument he offers to
wager any amount within his personal
means that any person or number of
persons may take him to q 20-acre
lot which is barren OF ore bodies. put
him in a secluded place. blindfold him.
put him under guard and then go any
" here in the 2e-acre lot and push a
SIC gold piece into the ground where it
wager if with his instrument he cannot
find it within three minutes from the
time his blind is removed and he turned
loose to search for the hidden coin.
In answer to questions Mr.. Wallace
declared that capitalists and leading
operators of mines for years ridiculed
his instrument without testing it's quail
titles until he became discouraged and
for five years made no demonStra tons
with it until last January he was able
to gain enough of the confidence of
Senator w. A. Clark and Joseph X
Clark to make a test of the invention
which he possesses. and since that time
he has been in their employ and has
done much exporting for them. He is
now employed on the Anchor group of
claims. which Mr.. Clark recently bonded
at Burke. Mr.. Wallace declares that any
person can successfully operate any Of
the three instruments he possesses who

OTHER COURTS OF INQUIRY
Admiral Princes Fate Left a Black
Stain Upon Nelson's
Mama

The Schley court of inquiry at Wash
ington serves to recall the fact that for
some reason or another each investiga.
ton of this kind in times past has in
variably left an impression upon the
minds of the public that the person
whose conduct his formed the subject
of the inquiry had been treated with
injustice, says writer upon naval SUBJ
jects.
Leaving aside the courts of inquiry
and the court martial which every adj
miral, commodore and captain has to
face If he loses his ship, or even dam
ages it by collision or by stranding,
there have been remarkably few courts
held in Europe, where a distinguished
admiral is called upon to answer charges
affecting not merely his discipline and
his Judgment, but even his personal
courage
The last trial of this kind that 1 can
recall is that of Admiral Persano. who
commanded the Italian fleet at the bat
tie of LISA in the war of 1866, when the
lightly armed Austrian squadron OF old
wooden ships ANONYMOUSLY defeated the
superbly armed Italian ironclad fleet.

After the conclusion Of peace the con-

subject of a searching and critical in

Notwithstanding the sad national afictlon that
befell rs in the tragic death of the late president
Of the United States the nation has sause for being
thankful that God reigns and the Government at
washington still lives 'our people are thankful that
We have form of government that can not be
wiped out by the dastardly stroke of an assassin,
a government whose foundations are the moral
strength, virtue and purity of civilized people
Again we are thankful that the conditions of gov.
eminent were SO supremely regulated that the
death Of it's illustrious chief executive did not
bring upon US financial calamity and ruin, as In
terruptions and changes 10 administrations had
previously brought. With trustworthy officials at
the helm and with firm an6 honest principles OF
political economy predominant the affairs of the
nation went steadily onward and upward. The
blessings OF the past year have been manifold.
Prosperity and contentment never reigned more
supremely throughout the land. There was ample
opportunity for every member of mankind to make
an honest and comfortable living. The nation
was free from pestilence and Providence smiled
upon us health. All these and many other things
gave us spirit of gratitude and il the hearts Of
men were laid bare yesterday, we have no doubt
that every one observed Thanksgiving more in the
spirit of gratitude than ever before.

Maryland's republican renegade senator,
George L. Wellington, has purchased the plant of
the Evening Independent, newspaper that some
time ago suspended publication, and will start a
morning and evening republican (?) paper, his
sole object being to fight the political aspirations
of Elk. Governor Lowndes who owns the controlling
interests in the Daily News. the stauuch repub-
can daily of Western Maryland, and since Yelling
ton acted so badly two years ago has not allowed
the latter's name to be printed in his paper under
any consideration. We have heard of many like
cases. but never of one that terminated successful
Iy, and those interested will now stand off and
watch Senator Wellington unload some of the
wealth that came to him solely by reason of the
confidence at one time reposed in him by the party

With Congress converting next Monday, the
democratic politicians are glowingy hot for some
tariff tipkering, but in our humble opinion their
persuasions will have little effect on their repubii'

sorrow Of both the country and the party, Besides
the republicans are not favorable to secession OF
prosperity just at this time or at any other time

There is some doubt as to whether or not the
city councils action in ordering the watering
troughs destroyed was wise. There is no doubt
however as to the great waste of water from them.
The coutsant drain they made upon the system was
serious matter, since the great demand for water
for other purposes is greater than the supply 10
order to keep the troughs from freezing up and
the water pure, stream had to be kept flowing
constantly. This was waste, wholly unavoidable
with the old troughs. 1t seems, however, the
matter could be remedied by the substitution of
neat iron troughs, such as are IN use in all modern
cities. The failure to maintain something of the
sort is a great inconvenience to teamsters and
farmers who come here to market The council
should not be satisfied to drop the matter here,
but should thoroughly investigate it and if at all
possible devise a remedy
