ing come on with rush. Montana,
California and Idaho buyers were the
takers and prices ran from $1.65 to
$212h as extremes for yearlings and
from $2.25 to SITS for two and three
year olds. The seasons sales will
probably total from $4,000 to $4,000,

the countys sheep.

by man and two boys, dragged into
the hall, beaten and kicked into insen-
sibility and seriously injured. The ele-
vator was then sent crashing into the
basement at full speed. No motive Is
known.
Reports tell of general snowstorm
that prevailed Sunday throughout
Montana generally. In the eastern sec
lions of the state the snow is wet,
and unless the temperature should fall
the storm will benefit the crops and
the range. In the north, however, a
blizzard ragged and the Great Northern
Railway company is experiencing con-
siderable difficulty in the operation
Of its trains. Stock is suffering great
ly and considerable loss among the
sheep, now in lambing period, is threat

AIkaIi Water Cures Snake Bite.

Joe McFran, sheepherder, was
brought to Helena recently suffering
intense agony from a rattlesnake bite.
His hand was black and swollen. The
snake crawled into a hole. McFran
caught 1t by the tail. intending to crack
its head OF. There was another hole
few inches distant. The snake ran
its head through it and struck McFran
on the hand.
McFran went to a water hole near
by. which was extremely alkaline. and
drank great quantities. His legs be-
came paralyzed. He gave up hope. A
horse came by at Q o'clock dragging
long rope. McFran got the animal
into a water hole and was enabled to
mount. He rode to James Cavanaugh's
ranch, ten miles distant, and was una
BILE to talk or to move. He was sent
to Glendive, distance of more than
25 miles.
The man will recover. The doctors
consider 1t a miraculous escape, prob
ably due to the large quantity of al.
kali water he drank, which acted as
an antidote.

Captain and Prlvates Slain.

Manila.-Captain Clough Overton of
the Fifteenth cavalry and Harry
Noyes, a private, were killed and Pri-
vate Harlow was wounded recently in
a bolo rush at Sucatlan, island of
Mindanao.
1t is said that six of the enemy were
killed. 1t is thought the natives ap-
preached Captain Overton's command
pretending friendship, and then at
tackled the Americans.
About 800 insurgents, armed with
bolos, also resisted the landing of a
force of scouts at Callahan, Camiguin
island, recently. They charged the
scouts and wounded two of them. 1t
required an hour to dispense the in
surgents. Twelve of the latter were
killed and many were wounded. The
scouts, whose gallantry has been COM
mended, are pursuing the insurgents.

BRITISH COLUMBIA.


Negotiations for a transfer for the
Gibson group, on the South Fork, near
Kaslo, are about completed. The fig
ures are said to be in the neighborhood
of $4,000.
Work is soon to start on the Glen
garnock, on TenderfooI creek. Men
and provisions have already been
shipped to the property.
The Ruth is to begin active opera
tions at once.
The suit of ]. H. Clark against j.
Frank COLON, involving $4,000 shares

The suit has been in court three years,
and was settled by the payment to the
plaintiff of $4,000, being his expenses
to date.
Shipments are gradually increasing,
and 80 days are almost certain to see
10000 tons shipped weekly from the
Rossland camp.
The manager of the Velvet mine
says: "The ore bins are full, and keep
so. The recent discovery on the sec
ond level south has disclosed over rs
feet Of good ore, of a width not de-
termined.'
The survey for tramway from the
Kootenay mine at Rossland to the
Canadian Pacific is complete. 1t is
about mile and quarter in length,
terminating at Floyd's siding. 1t will
have capacity Of 800 tons of ore
daily.

nounced that provided the properties
proved satisfactory under the active
development then projected, a concen-
trating plant would be erected to treat

venient to the tram. Complete COM
pressor plants have been installed at
both the Silver Cup and Nettie L.

at the terminus Of ]. ]. Hills latest
railway, the Crows Nest Southern,
is rapidly coming to the front.
At the mine itself there are over
600 men at work. The present daily
output Of coal is about 500 tons. This
will be increased to 1000 tons a day
within few weeks. The Great North
ern railway wants 5000 tons of coal a
day from the coal mines. The payroll
of the Crows Nest Pass Coal company
here is $4,000 monthly
Between the mines and the new town
$50 coke ovens are in course of con-
struction, at cost Of about $3.50, 900.

Plot to XIII President.

The extreme diligence which was
exercised by the Oakland, CAL, police
department in guarding President
Roosevelt during his journey through
and brief visit in Oakland was the sub
ject of much comment and this extraor-
binary precaution is now explained by
the fact, not hitherto known to the
public, of information received by the
authorities of a plot, which, if car.
ried out, would have meant the assas-
sination of President Roosevelt in this
city.

postmaster general, but that he him
self last autumn restricted the en-
ployment of physicians to postofiices
whose revenues aggregated $1,000, 900
a year.
81 want to say here that any irreg-
ularities complained Of in the Wash
ington postoffice were investigated at
the time by postoffice inspectors, who
made report to the postmaster gen.
eral.. They found some Irregularities,
but no robbery or defrauding of the
government. Ex-Postmaster General
Smith and Postmaster Merritt of this
city state in their letters to me that
they corrected the evils complained of
as soon as their attention was called
to them. All that indicates any wrong
ington postoffice involving loss to the
government or the integrity of an off,
cial will be investigated by Mr.. Bris-
tow, but l am not going to investigate
a stump speech or the question wheth-
er the postmaster of Washington
should be Washingtonian or wheth.
er Mr.. Tulloch should have been re-
moved. The postmaster had a perfect
right to remove Mr.. Tulloch.
Much has been said Of the state
ment that Comptroller Tracewell
called off one of the men from an in
spection of the Washington postofice
accounts because it was alleged that
he was everything chat might be called
pay dirt" Comptroller Tracewell in
his letters to me says that the inspec-
ton had been fully completed before
the man was taken off. and that his
report was already in, and all the in.
formation wanted had been gotten.
Mr.. Tracewell says he himself inspect-
ed the New York postofice accounts.
No flushing Up.
Nov, once for all, want to say that
this investigation of the affairs of the
postoffice department will go on, to the
end, and will reach into every place
and in every direction where there is
reason to believe anything wrong may
be found. The investigation will be
pursued relentlessly. Any talk of the
newspapers to the contrary is a pure
gratuity. Any thought of hushing up
the investigation is pure gratuity on
the part of the person who furnishes
such information. l am not the man
who is disposed to turn tail in such a
