SKELETONS FoUND.-Dr. Z. b. Mo-
hun, who was a member of the Wellman
Arctic expedition to the North in 1894,
has arrived at Kansas City on his way
to Washington, d. c., from Old Mexico,
where he has been connected with a
mining company. DR.. Mohun tells OF
the discovery recently of the skeletons
of between 300 and 400 women in a
deserted monastery, so miles west of
Nacozari, in the mountains of northern
Mexico, in wild and desolate part of
the country. The skeletons were found
by miners in search of treasure. He
displays several photographs of the
monastery, which show in vivid detail
the pile Of human bones. ''News of the
discovery" said DR.. Mohun, "has not
yet reached the outside world. How
the women met their death is a ques-
ton. The skeletons might have been
there l, 900 years, or the women might
have been killed by the last great earth
quake that visited that region, in 1882.
/ hold to the theory that the county
there was first settled by the Chinese
and that perhaps these women were
Chinese. The skeletons are small in
size. Apparently no attempt had been
made to hide the skeletons, though
they were partly covered with sand and
debris"

from New York says; The statement
is made on excellent authority that
Wabash interests will push e bill in
the Maryland legislature next winter,
providing for the sale of the Chesapeake

N. Y.
In a half-dcmolished cabin at the edge

clined to talk except to say that they
loved each other and that it was the

SPECULATOR is TO
START Up AGAIN
THIS NIGHT
Settlement of Mantle Suit
Allows Mine to Re-
open-Old Hands.

The Specuator mine will begin work
again tonight. This is the result of the
recent decision of the supreme court in
Lee Mantle's injunction suit against the
owners of the property Three hundred
men will be sent down beginning with
the night shift. They will be as much as
those whom the litigation threw out Of
work.
The Mantle case was decided in favor
OF the P. A. Largey estate by the supreme
court about a month ago. The plaintiff
and appellant claimed that he had held
certain interests in the property. He
claimed that when it passed into the
present hands his rights were ignored.
This was number of years ago.
The other parties to the action held
that Mantle had slept on the rights which
he alleged that he had not prosecuted the
claim before. The court took much the
same view of the matter and the tenn
porary injunction by which the property
has been tied up was, as result of their
decision, dissolved. The remittitur ar
rived this morning.
The owners of the mine are making
strong effort today to get together the
men who worked in the property before
the shutdown. They will start work if
possible tonight and, if not, will begin
tomorrow.

Kelliher and Clark, With

at Their Work.
VALUATION IS HIGH
Shown by Estimates That
Silver Bow County Is
Very Rich.

The action OF the commission con-
sisting OF County Commissioners Clark Of
Silver Bow and kellher of Deer Lodge
with Judge Henry {. Smith of Helena
as arbitrator, that is adjusting the iinan-
eial affairs OF the two counties growing
out OF the segregation Of q portion of
Silver Bow and adding il to Deer Lodge
will result in showing that Silver Bow
is about the best fixed county imaginable
and that Deer Lodge county will have
to bear very little of the debt OF the
latter because of such segregation.
Silver Bow county has a bonded in
debtcdncss of $I2s,ooo, yet IL has sink
ing fund that more than offsets this
amount. Under the terms Of the bill,
Deer Lodge county cannot participate in
the proceeds of this sinking fund. yet
II must pay its pro rata OF the indebted
ness. II is predicted that in the wndup
Deer Lodge is not liable 10 have TO bear
any party OF the Indebtedness on account
OF the territory il has acquired.
The commission devoted today TO ar
riving al the value of the county property
of this county, the county poor farm and
hospital and the court house and Jail and
personal property. The commission agreed
yesterday TO value the site OF the court
house and jail at 100000. Today the
commission heard evidence as TO the value
of the poor farm and improvements and
the court house and jail and persona!
property therein. The commission will
probably not conclude its work today
The law segregating a portion Of Silver
Bow provides that in deciding upon the
adjustment Of the financial matters be-
tween the two counties the value Of the
Silver Bow county property shall be de-
continued on Pagc IwoD

Burglars Must Have Gone
About Their Scheme
by System.
TOOK TIME At It
Indications That Bold Men
of GumShOeS Were in
No Hurry.

Burglars showed more than usual daring
when they entered the shoe store of
Samuel J. Sketch at 81 East Granite
street last night through the front door
and carted away among other things more
than twenty pairs of shoes. 1t is thought
they used small wagon for the purpose.
The door was found broken open this
morning by the proprietor.
The thieves had evidently used some
instrument to force the entrance. They
clearly had no trouble doing it, and must
have worked for a few minutes at this.
The door forced they entered and pro-
ceeded to loot the place.
Shoes in boxes were removed from the
shelves and either packed in sacks or
loaded on a wagon. In all there were at
least twenty pairs. In getting what they
wanted, the thieves went over the entire
shop and combed things down very thor
oughly. The indications this morning
looked as though they had taken their
time at the work.
Beyond the traces they left of their
crime in the place itself, the burglars
showed clean heels. By the time Sketch
opened his place OF business this morning
wagons had passed and repassed, and it
would be impossible to tell whether or not
a conveyance had been used to take away
the booty.
Sketch reported the matter 10 the police
this morning.
At $50 o'clock this afternoon Detec-
tive Barney McGilic arrested a man who
gave his name os w. Z. Dwyer, charged
with the robbery. Dwyer was trying to
sell two pairs of shoes to Mrs. Nieman
of West Park street for SI.7s at the time
of the arrest The shoes have been iden-
tilted as among thol. stolen.
