CAREER OF +. A. HEINZE.

For ten or twelve years past Butte,
Montana, has been the scene of the
most extraordinary mining litigation
which the country has yet known. On
the one side is f. Augustus Heinze, a
young mining engineer and metallur-
gist, who controls the Montana Ore
Purchasing Company, with a capital
stock of S2,000.000. and on the other
side is the Amalgamated Copper Com.
pany, backed by the Standard Oil Com
pany, conjointly representing a capital
approximating $500, 600, 900. Heinze be-
gan his career in Butte as mining en-
gineer when only IS years old. He is
now 33 years old. Having studied geo.
logy and metallurgy, he soon acquired,
while employed underground. valu-
able knowledge concerning the trend OF
ore bodies, and turned it to good ac-
count by occupying unappropriated
mineral land and buying apparently
worthless properties in the neighbor-
hood

The Latest for Blasting.

The latest in explosives, according to
the Metal Industry, is powdered alum
inum, mixed with nitrate'of ammonia,
and put upon the market under the
name of "ammonal." This explosive
is said to be one of the surest and swift
est known, as it cannot be exploded by
friction or blow, while otherwise con-
tanning all requisites of an explosive.
The fact that aluminium is not affected
by nitric acid gives the important prop
erty to ammonal of not being subject to
disintegration. As it is not affected by
frosts, accidents which so often occur
when thawing out frozen dynamite are
not to be feared. The explosion is
caused by an ordinary cap. Another
important property claimed for ammon.
al is that it is not affected by moisture.

NEW LAND LEASING LAW.
Bill to Aid Actual Settlers I'm the
Arid Regions.

The land leasing proposition made its
temperance in Congress last week,
when Representative Lacy introduced
a bill in the House which primarily gives
to homesteaders and settlers in arid and
semi.arid regions the right to improve
and protect grass upon the public do
main in the vicinity of their lands SO as
to prevent further deterioration and
monopolization Of the range by owners
OF large herds of live stock. Such part
OF the arid and semi-arid region as are
not necessary for irrigation purposes
may, under the Lacey bill be leased for
stock-grazing purposes subject to the
right OF homestead entry at all times
The leases are to be regulated by the
Secretary of the Interior, to run for five
years, with the right of renewal, each
lease to be limited to 1900 acres to each
person. Leases are not transferable
and are to be granted only to actual
settlers. Corporations are denied the
right to make leases. Lands subject to
lease are to be classified and shall be
rented at rates varying from 1 to 6
cents an acre per annum. Persons
leasing lands under the above provis.
ions will be permitted to fence these
lands at their own expense.

Death.

Indian who killed one William Will.

FIVE miles northwest of the Las Vegas
ranch about two months ago, and who
plead guilty to the murder, was sem
fenced by Judge Brown of Elko to be
hanged at Carson, Nevada, ON January
2S, 1904.
This is the first death sentence ever
passed on any one in Lincoln County
and the only remaining hope for the
Indian will be the Board of Pardons.
The Indian and Williams had quar-
rel in the morning over Sc which was
due to the Indian. After dinner they
both went out on the porch and Will
liams fell asleep. The Indian then
went back in the house and secured a
rifle and shot Williams in the back,
death evidently being instantaneous.
After replacing the rife the Indian
went to the Las Vegas ranch.
George Latimer and another rancher
happened along in a short while and
found the remains and tracked the
horse the Indian rode to the Las Vegas
ranch, where they captured the red
man. He admitted killing him, thin k
ing that he had a right to do so, and
did not think ANYTHING would be done
with him by the court.
Williams was an aggressive mau, and
has had much trouble with men and
Indians in the south heretofore and at
the time of his death officers had war;

in a shooting affray that took place in

IMPRISONED IN A MINE.

one OF them was killed, while the other.

other miner when the alarm was given.
but seeing death staring him in the face
he turned back and took a chance of
being dug out. He did not lose his
head and realized that it was absolutely
necessary to have air to sustain him.
He blew out his candle, so as not to
consume any more of the oxygen than
necessary, and for So long hours he
paced about in total darkness. 1t was
cold, damp dungeon, but the trickling
water coming down from above is prob
ably the only thing that sustained him,
as it produced sufficient air to keep him
alive. He did not dare to sleep any
length of time for fear that he would
freeze to death. To keep warm, he
exercised with shovel, threw himself
against the walls and rubbed his hands
together. At times he would have
given anything for drink of water
and a bite to eat.

and 25-yard run by Rogers Then the
scrubs were given the ball at the varsity $

which they did. The scrubs were given

2-yard line, but on a quarterback kick
Luce got the pigskin and ran the, whole
length Of the field. scoring a second
touchdown for the varsity. Each side got
another score before the end of the prac-
tice.
Burdick played hard game at end for
the varsity, but he Is too easily fooled on
trick plays. The second team backs, Cur
rent, Kremer and Weisel, did good work
on both offense and defense. Neussle for
the varsity was weak in his tackling, but
