BUTTE'S RICHEST GOLD FINE.

Butte. Mont. Dec. 93.--Once
more the Butte district as gold
producer has come to the front.
The richest streak of gold bearing
ore ever uncovered Ia Montana, six
inches wide, almost solid gold and
and assaying $Goo, 900 to the ton,
was uncovered this week.
The ground Is in litigation and to-
morrow will come up for review be-
fore Judge Clancy. The claim lies
south Of Rocker, across Silver Bow
creek, where so mitch gold was TAX
en- out 80 years ago by the placer
miners. A man named Metz iocat-
ed the land several years ago. Two
months ago he made a proposition
to man named Mcdonald, and he
would give hin; q half interest IN
the claim. Mcdonald agreed and
went to work sinking q shaft 26
feet. AT this depth he ran into the
rich ore. He at once notified Metz
and when the latter saw the rich
discovery he fatty refused to give
Mcdonald his half interest. Nc
Donald came to town aud tied the
property up Iii an injunction. A
man named Marsh owns the next
claim OH the east, and men ARMED
with shot.guns are guarding the 10
cality against jumpers. Miners ag'

that one or the other Of these candidates

OUR NAVY Tn MINIATURE
A Proposed Display at the Pan

A Map Of the World to he Spread on
Great Table With Models of All
American War Vessels Thereon

Probably one of the most interesting

sists of a great eight by twenty-foot map
of the world, on which will be desig-
mated in large legible letters the names

and abroad.
This map is drawn upon white canvas,
the various divisions of land and water
are appropriately colored, and the exposed
surface treated to several coats of trans
parent yarnish, the whole being mounted
on linoleum to prevent the canvas from
buckling, which would otherwise likely
occur because of atmospheric changes.
Thus prepared. the map will be placed
on what might be designated a billiard
table. enlarged two-fOld in length and
breadth. and especially designed for the
purpose.
The map will cover the globe. from
the sixtieth parallel north to the sixtieth
parallel south. and upon it will be placed
30l miniature lead models, each repre-
senting a battleship cruiser, monitor,
Gunboat, torpedo boat. submarine boat.

United States Navy, in commission, in
ordinary. under repairs. or under con-
struction. The models of cruising vessels
will be painted white, the torpedo boats
green, the Golfers and sailing vessels
black, and the tugs and yard boats
orange. The largest of the models is not
more than an inch and half in length.
The position of each model upon the map
will show the location each day of the
corresponding vessel of the navy.
Each model will fly a pennant with its
name printed on it in bold type. The dis
play of a tiny flag on the model will
signify that the corresponding vessel of
the navy is in commission for service, and
when no flag is displayed IT will signify
that the corresponding vessel OF the navy
