THOUGHT 1T A JOKE.
Governors Son Supposed Father Was
Stringing Him.


During discussion of the manners
of the sons cf distinguished Ameri
cans, the other evening, an instruct
or ip one of the private military acad-
emies along the Hudson river told
this story:
''The faculty of our school were
delighted when Gov. Crane of Massa-
chusetts sent his son to us, and we
all grew very fond Of him, for he was
bright and extremely modest youth.
In fact, his modesty was so marked
that we often talked about it among
ourselves. One day there came to
the school party of distinguished
visitors and the principal called up
number of the brightest boys in
order to question them. Among these
was young Crane.
Robert, who is the governor of
Massachusetts,? inquired he, turning
to the boy suddenly.
"The youth thought for time and
then answered.: I am sure don't.
know.
"..You certainly don't mean to tell
me you don't know who the governor
of you'd own state is?' replied the
astonished man. Think a moment
longer
"T'm sorry. sir, but l really don't
know answered the boy.
"'Why. Robert. your father is the
governor of Massachusetts, exclaim-
ed the bewildered principal.
eyes, he told me that himself once,
answered the boy in the same quiet
manner, but never believed it. 1

HOW HOLLOWAY VIEWS THEaEN.
DoRsEMENT MATTER,
WILL CONSULT COMMITTEE
Quotes Case Of Judge Brantiy's pop.
u'ist Endorsement and Sees
No Objection.

Although the joint conference com
mittee Of the labor and populist par
ties of the state has endorsed Judge
Holloway, republican nominee for as
sociate justice of the supreme court,
as the nominee of those parties, the
recipient of the endorsement need not
accept it if he wishes to decline the
candidacy so rendered. Whether he
will take any action in that direction
is not known.
Section 1919 of the political code
gives him a way of declining the nom
ination made at Butte. It says
Whenever any person nominated
for public Office ,as in this chapter
provided, shall at least ten days be-
fore election, except in the case of
municipal elections, in writing, sign
ed by him, notify the officers with
whom the certificate nominating him
is by this chapter to be filed, that he
declines such nomination, such nomi-
nation shall be void"
In the matter of his nomination by
the. populists and labor party Judge
Holloway yAs not consulted and the
endorsement came without any So
licitation on his part. He was prob
ably as much surprised when notified
of it as anybody. When Judge
Brantly the chief justice, was can
didate for the position he now oc-
cupies he was treated to the same sur
prise by the populists as has been
given Judge Holloway. He did not de-
cline the second nomination and his
name appeared on both the republi-
can and populist tickets.
According to the Helena Herald
Judge Holloway will probably allow
his name to appear on the tickets OF
his endorsers. He was asked by that
paper what he proposed to do in the
matter and is quoted as saying that
he did not consider that there was
anything for him to do. If the popu-
lists and laborites wanted to vote
for him he said he could not see any
objection to it, nor what he could
do about it, and then qouted the case
of Judge Brantly.
He said, however, that he would
consult with the state republican
committee about the matter.

PAID EXTREME PENALTY
MURDERER OF MONTANA MEN
is HANGED.
Fred Hardy, Slayer of Sullivan
Brothers of Butte Executed
at Nome.

Nome, Sept. 9, via Seattle, Oct. l.
Fred Hardy, convicted of the killing
Of Con and Florence Sullivan of Butte,
Mont, on Unimak Island, June Z,
1901, has paid the extreme penalty.
He was hanged at 9:4O this morning.
The execution took place in an addi-
ton built to the icehouse on the lot
opposite the Jail.
There was no hitch in the proceed
ings, NO bungling Of the job. Hardys
neck was broken and in exactly nine
minutes and 4S seconds the pulse
ceased to beat and the physicians
present declared life extinct. He died
without a display of cowardice, as
1serting his innocence.
The execution was under the super
vision of Deputy Marshal Estabrook
and the arrangements were complete.
Father Cataldo administered the last
sacrament. The death warrant was
read to- Hardy in his cell by Marshal
Richards and few minutes later the
little procession started for the gal
lows. Hardy showed wonderful COM
posure. Up to last night he slept
well. He arranged all of his earthly
affairs and until yesterday, was cheer
full. Until the last moment he seemed
to hope that something would happen
to give him longer lease of life.
Con and Florence Sullivan were
murdered on Unimak island June Z
1901. They were both we'll known
mining men in Montana and it was
less than month before their death
that they left Butte for the north.

"PLUNGER" GATES BECOMES IN.
TEREsTED IN MINING.
He BUYS Gilt EDGE MINES
Secures Valuable Property and Will
Proceed to Improve It at
Once.

the Tribune from Lewistown says:
The Great Northern Mining & De-
velopment company is tonight making
its last payment of wages to it's en-
ployes, and will tomorrow surrender
possession of all it's properties to
John w. Gates and John A. Drake of
Chicago and their associates, who
have paid for the properties half a
million dollars.
The new comers secure title to "a
mining claims, 21 of which are patent
ed, lying one and one-half miles west
of the town Of Gilt Edge, on the east
ern slope of the Judith mountains; a
we'll equipped cyanide plant, with a
capacity of 140 tons per day., and all
appurtentant property. 4
The deal that has just been closed
was promoted by A. s. Wright and A.
H. S. Bird, who realize a profit of
100000 from it, they securing the
properties for 100000 and selling
them for s5O0,OOO.
The claims transferred include the
Gilt Edge, Plattsburg, Storm King and
Standby groups, comprising the best
claims in the Gilt Edge district.
Early in July the promoters gave
Gates. Drake ct al an option on their
bond on the properties, and then en-
sued a series Of test runs and numer-
Gus experiments that led to the fore
closure of the option.
Much of the ore in the properties is
what is commonly called at Gilt Edge
the "black ore" and it has mot been
capable of treatment by cyanidation.
The holders Of the option instituted q
series of tests Of this black ore,
building five-ton roasters and leach
ing tanks, and adapting to the treat
ment of the black ore recently intro
duced economical methods, and as q
result it has been proved that the
black ore, Of which vast quantities
have been blocked out, may be profita-
bly, treated.
The roasting experiments nave
been q decided success. and to contin-
ue this process of treatment, great
improvements and additions will be
made by the new owners.
The new corporation is known as
the, Gold. Reef Mining Co., and its
headquarters will probably be at Chi
cago.
The new company will as soon as
possible double the capacity Of the
tanks, build new boarding houses and
bunk houses, and make other improve
ments. 1t has secured an important
water right, and is prepared to in
crease its operations to a very great
extent.
]. H. Mccormick will be superin-
tendent of. the properties. He has
been employed in responsible posi-
tions by the Whisky Gulch and
Barnes-King companies, and has had
charge of the successful tests recent
ly made for Gates and associates.

Electricity Only Proper Propeiling
Agency for Submarine Boats.
Washington, Oct. 1.-The submar-
inc boat of the future should be pro-
PEELED by electricity" is the opinion
Lieutenant Commander John R. Ed
wards, U. S. ~, expressed today. Com
mander Edwards is one of the youn-
ger officers of the navy who is making
a special study of submarine torpedo
boats, and Rear Admiral Melville,
chief of the bureau OF steam engi,
neering, to which Commander Ed
wards is connected, relies to large
extent on his judgment.
cit is impossible to utilize steam
for submarine sailing" continued
Commander Edwards, "as the heat
would be too great. Inventors, there
fore turned to gasoline motors for
surface work and electric storage
batteries when submerged. All inven-
tors cling to the gasoline engine for
it gives their boats radius of action
they could not secure by the use Of
storage batteries exclusively. The
French boats use electricity alone,
but this limits their range to forty
miles. The French, however, are
building on other lines, and have one
which uses steam on the surface. 1t
takes two hours to put out the fires
and sink the boat, however.
81 believe it would be possible to
build submarine torpedo boats suf-
ficiently large to accommodate bat
teries."
