SpECiM TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.
Anaconda, Dec. 23.-Shopping with a
big Colts six-shooter III ones muff is some
thing OF novelty, even out West, but that
is what a young woman Of Anaconda did
yesterday.
She caused a little futter OF excitement
among the clerks in the various stores
where she stopped, when the big revolver
would slide out of the muif. This is the
way it happened:
The young lady is something Of shot
with gun or revolver and yesterday she
took the sixshootcr out to puncturc a
paper target which she had made. When
tired of the sport she suddenly remembered
some Christmas shopping that had to be
done then. She stuck the gun in her muH
and walked down town.
How much is this vase?' she asked
a Young man behind the counter at one
OF the stores.
Dollar, six bits" replied the young man.
Guess | won't pay that for it." said the
young woman, laying her muff down on the
counter. just then the gun slipped out
and lay on the counter, cruel and glitter
Ing and sinister
You can have it, said the clerk.
"liavc WHAT" asked the girl, somewhat
puzzled.
Take the vasc--takc anything you want,
only don't shoot" said the clerk with both
hands up
Then it was the young lady's turn to be
confused and she stuck the piece of ord
nance back in the muff and went out.

SPECIAL 10 TIE INTER MouNrMx.

Anaconda, Dec 23.--Charles Erickson,
brother-in-law OF Joe Munson, has re-
turned from two-years' stay in Alaska.
Mr.. Erickson came out on the last boat
from Nome and will remain in Anaconda
until navigation opens in the spring.
He has number OF promising claims in
the vicinity OF Nome, and others on the
Solomon river. lie made several good
strikes last summer and bought more
ground. AT present his mining partner is
in Nome looking after the property.
Few Bonanzas Left.
Mr.. Erickson says that there are not
many bonanzas up there now, but that
gold is found over a wide area. There are
thousands OF square miles OF auriferous
gravel deposits that can be proiitably
worked by drcdgers or hydraulic methods
Lack OF water is the greatest drawback
10 the working of the claims around
Nome. However, this will be helped soon
when a number OF bitches that have been
planned are run across the claims.
Last summer Mr.. Erickson, with a crude
contrivance for pumping water from the
river, cleared up little more than $40 a
day. With a good head of water this
could be increased wonderfully.
Nome has grown TO be an important
navigation point There is fleet OF IS
10 20 vessels plying regularly between
Nome and Seattle and San Francisco
In all, 81 vessels arrived at Nome last
season, carrying 4,7lo passengers. There
was exported from Nome last season
$a,4I3633 in bullion. The gold shipment!
by mail were about $I,soo, 900, making {
total Of nearly 100000.
Little Quartz Mining.
Quartz mining in Northwestern Aask
has not yet fairly started. 1t is alway
several years behind placer mining !
number of good ledges have been ex
posed, however, and one Of two smal
quartz mills have been established in tn
vicinity of Nome.

CHRISTMAS TURKEYS GO
INTO HANDS OF THIEVES
Six Hundred Pounds, at Two Bits Per
Pound, Stolen.

SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.
Anaconda, Dec. a3.-Theves who evil
deuty propose to have plnety of turkey
for Christmas day made a big haul in the
butcher shop of Walker & Gibbs of Main
street ast night
Six hundred pounds OF the birds, esti-
mated to be worth about rs cents per
pound were taken from the warehouse in
the rear of the store some time between
10 o'clock last night when the employees
Qeft the establishment, and early this morn
ing when the place was opened for busi-
ness. The door of the warehouse had
been forced.
As many people had been walking in
the snow around the warehouse during the
day it was impossible to track the thieves
in the snow. The supposition is they had
wagon and carried off the plunder. The
police are without clue but hope to
catch some one in the act of peddling tur-
keys, when arrests may follow.
