LAND FRAUDS.
Largo Area of Montana Withdrawn
From Entry.

Butte, Oct. IA special from
Great Falls says: BY an order re-
ceived by the register and receiver of
the local land Office, all lands in Cas-
cade county, south of the Missouri
river that are in the Great Falls land
district and two townships near nigh
wood, are withdrawn from entry I'M
der the desert land law; all desert
entries upon such lands, for which
patents have not been issued, are sus-
pended pending investigation.
Embraced in the withdrawal is
nearly all the land in this county that
lies south and east of the Missouri. It
is estimated that the order of with
drawal affects about 1,150,000 acres,
and that within that area there have
been filings under the desert land law
upon about 100000 acres. The area
embraced within the suspended en-
tries is probably 10000 acres.
At the request of United States
Senator Gibson, who reported to the
interior department that gross frauds
had been, and were being, committed
in this district under the desert land
laws, Special Agent Chadwick was re-
Gently sent to this city to make an in
vestigation and report His report
sustained practically every charge
made by Senator Gibson, and the COM
missioner of the general land office,
acting upon that report, made the
order of withdrawal and suspension.

BRITISH COLUMBIA MINES.

Last week the combined mines of
the Boundary made big jump in the
ore shipments of nearly 5000 tons
over last week. Nearly every one OF
the nine shippers made an increase.
About 325 men are now on the pay
roll of the CRANKY mines, and close to
hundred each are employed by the
Snowshoe and Mother Lode. All the
mines of the Boundary are still grad
ually increasing the forces.
The San Francisco capitalists who
have taken over the big sandstone and
granite quarries on Newcastle island,
near Nanaimo, have appointed John
d. Dawes as superintendent. He an
nounces that the company will under
take extensive operations.
Like an echo from the past comes
the report from London, Eng, that
the English Canadian company, limit
ed has gone $125,0oo behind the game.
The company took UP British Column
bia business in the days of the mining
boom.
F. l.. Sommer of New York, vice
president OF the Is. y. copper company,
paid his first visit to the Boundary
district recently. The company owns
the Mother Lode mine and the Green
wood smelter. Mr.. Sommers before
leaving announced that it had been
decided to enlarge the Greenwood
plant by the addition of converter
and four additional furnaces.
The annual general meeting of the
CRANKY Consolidated company, held
in Montreal, produced the interesting
statement that in spite of the most
depressing circumstances, the Cranky
made a profit of $2s5,463 during the
year, which brought the surplus from
the preceding year UP to s6s3,535. That
would provide per cent dividend
on the issued capital, $13,363,030, in
$40 shares.

WORKING FORCE REDUCED.
IS Per Cent on Vanderbilt Railway
System.

Orders have been issued from New
York whereby Is per cent of the en-
ployes in the car shops, repair shops
and roundhouses of the entire Van
derbilt railways system were notified
that their services are no longer need
ed. Fifteen hundred will be thrown
out of employment with hardy a MIN
ute's notice and a saving of nearly
$4,000 day will be effected.
The order, which embraces employees
Of the New York Central and all sub
sidiary lines going out of New York,
the Lake Shore & Michigan South
ern, the Lake Erie & Western and
other roads, will have it's effect in
more than 100 shops and roundhouses.
'"rhe action just taken by the Van
derbilt system of railroads is due to
two things" said high official of the
New York Central tonight. First,
that the outlook at the present time
demanded that retrenchment be made;
and, second, that the condition of the
rolling stock is such that retrench-
ment can be made in the department
which has charge of that with the least
damage to effectiveness.

Storm Creates Havoc at Suffern,
New York

new YORK.
Suffern, N. Y, Oct. 12.-The storm
that prevailed through this section
for the past two days is one of the
most disastrous ever known here.
The trestle over the Piedmont branch
is a total wreck. Trains are unable
to proceed beyond this place. The
town of Hillburn, one mile from here,
is cut off, as all the bridges have
been washed away. The town of
Ramapo is almost in ruins. Many
persons are homeless. The iron
works at Hillburn are flooded and it
is feared that no work will be done
for a long time. Five hundred en-
ployes will be affected. Work has
stopped at all the shops and 1000 men
are idle. Supplies are short, as no
trains from New York are bringing
goods ordered

Mont.
Missoula, Mont, Oct. 15-Walter
Jackson, the convicted murderer of 6
year old FOnnie Buck, and sentenced
to be hanged, was taken from Jail at
Hamilton at late hour at night and
lynched.
They soon found Jackson, who was
cringing in the darkest portion of his
cell. The poor wretch pleaded piteous-
ly for mercy, but was rushed out into
the street. The mob mad already pro-
vided rope. This was quickly thrown
over an electric light pole and the
moose placed about Jackson's neck.
He was asked if he had anything to
say, and only pleaded for mercy. The
mob then pulled him into the air, after
which they quietly dispersed. Not a
shot was fired, ana Jackson was the
only one to suffer violence The iden-
tity of the mob leaders is unknown.
Jackson's case was on appeal to the
supreme court.
Thirty-fve minutes after the lynch
ing Jackson's body was cut down by
the sherllt and coroner and removed
to the morgue.

silver MARKET IMPROVES
is NOW AT HIGHEST POINT IN
YEARS.
Purchases of Bullion for Demands In
Philippines and India Accounts for
the Raise in Price-uncIe Sam Has
Nearly Enough for Present Needs
Mexican Dollars Leave Philippines.

New York, Oct. 15.-Commercial
bar silver has now touched the highest
point Established in years, Esd per
ounce in London and go 1-2 and so 5-8c
here. The advance abroad is equal
to 3-Sd. The treasury department has
purchased 100000 ounces of silver
bullion for delivery at San Francisco
for the Philippines coinage at 6O,125
cents per ounce, the highest price that
has yet been paid. The New York
market for silver reflects the price es-
tablished in London, where the market
has been strong for several months,
the advance being attributed in great
measure to the demand from India
and to purchases by the United States
for Philippine account.
Treasury to Cease Purchasing.
Washington, Oct. 15.-Col. Edwards,
chief Of the bureau of insular affairs,
who has been managing in this coun-
try the finances of the Philippines and
carrying out the act of the last con-
gress for supplying the Philippines
with currency, recently cabled the
Philippine commission that there
should now be in the islands Is 900, $50
pesos and that the amount yet to be
coined and shipped amounted to one
million more, the amount being at the
minis or contracted for.
A reply has been received from the
commission stating that the amount of
coin now in the Philippines, together
with some five millions pesos in paper
money, soon to be increased to 1000
600, to which should be added from
eight to nine million pesos in Spanish
coin would be sufficient and advising
against the purchase of any more bull
lion for the purpose of coming pesos.
This action has been taken by the in
sular bureau and no more silver will
be purchased further than what is
necessary to fulfill the existing stipu-
lations with mints.
1t is probable that the Philippine
commission will demonetize Mexican
dollars on January /, 1904, but at the
rate Mexican dollars are now leaving
the islands, it appears that such ac-
ton will have very little effect. For
the first nine days of October, 395, 900
Mexican dollars have been exported
from the islands and none has been
imported.
The Philippine commission will take
steps to get in the Philippine treasury
by July /, all the Spanish coins in cir
culation, the intention being to issue
the new Philippine pesos in their
stead.
The purchases for the further coin
age of Philippine pesos will be about
four or five hundred thousand ounces.
1t is intended to coin the Spanish coins
when accumulated in the island treas
ury to Philippine pesos. 1t is said
that the amount of new currency in
the islands, together with the Spanish
coins and the United States currency,
is sufficient for the business of the
Philippines.
