Of the many stories Of the
ssstring fend" regarding north
ern Minnesota towns that have
appeared from time to time in
the newspapers Of the northwest
no one does a graver injustice
than the following which was
published in the Duluth News
Tribune yesterday, under a New
York Mills date line. The article
is reproduced from the Mime
apolis Journal, but has been
edited under new date line to
give it freshness. The story is
apparently sufficiently ridiculous
and unjust to warrant further
comment. 1t follows:
New York Mills, Mimi, Dec,
AT the north end of a twen-
ty-fve mile spur jutting from the
main line Of the Minnesota 4
international railway, twelve
miles above Blackjack, is Kelli=
her. Kelhher is new, tough and
booming. Its the sportsman's
paradisesand lumberjack's play
ground. For rough and roWdy
and original ways it fully equals
some Of the historic Western
towns Of the good old days Of the
California gold rush. Shooting
scrapes are frequent. Fist, club
and knife fights are too common
to attract more than passing
notice.
There We're six shootings, two
of them fatal, at Kelliher last
week. -Four were accidental and
occurred in the adjacent woods
the old story Of the green hunter
and the man who looked like a
deer. The killings appear to
have been premeditated.
A man and a woman were
murdered on different nights. A
deputy sheriff went up from Be
midi to assist in an investigation
and stopped at the best hotel,
which has bar and barbershop
in connection. He seated him
self in the barber chair and in
one hour and forty minutes had
a shave. Most of the time was
taken up in assisting in quelling
disturbances at the bar, located
only ten or-twelve feet from the
chair. There were four distinct
free for-all fights. In one of
them two Of the participants had
every shred of clothing torn
from their bodies. The barber
talked cheerfully OF the weather
and hunting, appearing to take
the interruption as a matter of
course
Kelliher is in the heart of the
great north woods, and the tim
Der around it sWarms with game
Of many kinds. Deer, moose and
caribou, also bear, abound. Dogs
drove a moose along the main
street of the town a few days
ago. The bunch of sportsmen
standing around soon put an end
to the animals existence and it
breathed it's last with it's huge
antlers obstructing the doorway
Of a saloon. The proprietor "set
'em up" to the crowd.

GREAT HUMBERT TRIAL.


Paris, Aug. 10.-The notorious Hum.
bert family today faced a Judge and
jury to meet the charge Of having per.
petrated what ex-Premier Waldeck.
Rousseau describes as the greatest
swindle of the century" Investigat-
ing Magistrate Leydel in May decided
to commit Theresa Humbert, her hus.
band, Frederick, and her brothers, Ro-
main and Emile d'Aurignac, for trial
on the charge of forgery, the use of
forged documents and swindling. He
dismissed the cases against Eva Hum
bert (Theresa's daughter) and Marie
Duignac cher sister,.
Public curiosity, which has followed
the fortunes of the family since the
days of its social brillancy, is again
intensely wrought up, the chief inter
est centering in la Grande Theresa"
who has promised to produce at this
trial the mysterious American million
aires, the brothers Crawford, on whom
she based her story of an inheritance
of $2O,O0O,000, which she put forward
as the security for the loans she OBJ
tanned, amounting to about $10,000OO0.

Montana Mines.

The notable event of the week in
mining circles is the bonding of the
noted Jay Gould mines by the Stand
ard Ore company of Helena. The Jay
Gould is in the Canyon Creek range,
20 miles north of Helena, and was
worked for years, more than 100000
in gold and silver being taken out. 1t
paid hundreds Of thousands in divi-
dends. There are miles of under
ground workings. The mine has not
been worked recently.
William ]. Kinney has sold his
Snowshoe group of placer claims on
Cedar creek, Missouri county. 1t is
said that 100000 in placer gold has
been taken from the district in the
past.
Idaho State Mine Inspector Bell
makes an interesting statement con-
corning the Minnie Moore mine at
Bellevue, silver-lead property that
was famous in the early days of that
district. The company abandoned the
mine after it had made large pro-
duction, the vein being lost. Mr.. Bell
says the new management has ex-
posed million and half in the mine,
and the work shows the old company
had undercut the ore body without
knowing where it was.
The total receipts at the United
States assay office in Helena for July
were $214.152, as compared with $2l7'
76O for the same month last year.
Montana's contribution, however,
showed a material increase over that
of last year-$1S0,546, as against $172,-
592 in July, 1902. Montana's princi-
nal producers in July were by coun-
ties as follows: Fergus, $6S,730; JEFF
ferson. s1O,s1S; Lewis and Clarke, S17,-
395: Madison, s2s,OS1; Park, $19,639.
This, however, does not show the rela-
tive production of gold in the various
counties as Fergus county, whose prod
net is almost entirely cyanide, virtually
all comes here, while there are many
mines in this and other counties whose
product is treated at shelters, and
consequently does not come to the as
say office.
