President Hunts Lions.

Anaconda, Mont, April ia spe-
cial to the Standard from Gardiner
says:
President Roosevelt is hunting noun
tain lions on Slough creek. In COM
pany with Major Pitcher, the acting
superintendent of the park, and a
guard of soldiers, he left Fort Yellow
stone on Thursday morning for Yam
cey's, IS miles east of Mammoth Hot
Springs, from where he went to Slough
creek. There are more elk and deer
in this vicinity than in any other por-
ton of the park, and where the big
game is most numerous there are also
to be found the most mountain lions.
The president will undoubtedly bag a
few lions, although it is not known
whether he has secured any as yet. He
will also get plenty of opportunity to
shoot a few wolves, as there are many
of the big gray fellows in that sec
ton.
The president left for Yellowstone
in excellent spirits. He was to have
ridden a fine bay Kentucky thorough
bred but the animal is sick, and d
fine troop horse, one of the animals
from the gray troop, was substituted.

YUNG LII OF CHINA DEAD.
Chief Adviser of the Empress Dowager
and Emperor.

Pekin, April 14.-Yung Lu, the con-
troller of finances and first grand Sec
rotary, is dead. He mas been suffering
for some time past from dropsy, ana
was known to be critically i'll. A month
ago he asked permission to retire from
oiice, but the dowager empress urged
MIN to take a rest instead, as the EN-
peror needed his services.
Yung LUIS death removes the great
est power in the government of China,
except the dowager empress, and many
consider that the dowager empress
was under his dominion.
His death was largely due to his re-
fusal to consult any foreign physician
until almost in extremes, when he
called in the doctor of the Japanese le-
cation.
Yung Lu was a Manchu, and at the
time of the beginning of the Boxer out
break was viceroy of the province nj
Pc Chi Ii and generalissimo of the
Chinese army. He was then said to be
the most powerful man in China, his
influence being even greater than that
of Ii Hung Chang. Since the death Of
the latter, Yung Lu has more thar
once been represented as debating the
policy of the dowager empress and EN-
peror.
The rapid rise of lung Lu from ;
small military commander to be vice
roy of Pc Chi Ii, and later to be ont
of the highest counsellors of the dowa
ger empress, is said to have been I'm
precedented. He obtained his post .
generalissimo as a reward for crushing
the reform party in China.
Yung Lu was said to be the real au
thor of the antiforeign outbreak II
Pekin and Tien Tsin, and he command
ed the first disciplined troops whicl
opposed the allies. mis- latter fac
was recalled by foreigners when L
1901 he was awarded the two eye
peacock feather "for protecting fol-
eigners against the Boxers"

Hypnotism a Bad PIaythinq.

Monmouth, Ill.-Mrs. Marshall Mink,
who, with her husband, was hypnotizcd
by reading Professor Harraden's books
on hypnotism, died at Walkertown asy-
lum. The case is one of the most pc
culiar and mystifying ever known. The
victims were under 80 years of age,
are parents of two children and both
were sound mentally and physically.
Recently they saw an advertisement CT
Professor Harraden OF Jackson, Mich,
who purported to teach hypnotism in
20 lessons by mail course. Minks sent
for the books. In the first lesson both
came partially under hypnotic influ-
ence, and for several days they con-
tinued in that state, both endeavoring
to exercise their will power over the
other. The husband at last lost con-
troll over his wife, and both were
brought here. The case puzzled ply
sicians. A local hypnotist partially
succeeded in restoring Mrs. Mink 20
her normal state, but only for a brief
period: She became worse and was
sent to the asylum.

MONTANA MINES.

The mining industry of Montana is
destined to prosper this year.
High grade cOpper-gold ore has been
discovered in Madison county.
The oil boom on the coded strip of
the Blackfoot reservation is still on.
A. G. Staten has discovered an
thracite coal within 10 miles of Havre.
H. l.. Frank has left for Paris,
where he expects to dispose of his coal
properties near Frank, just across the
international boundary.
The Tombstone Mining company.
whose property is located in the vi
pond district has begun the dropping
of stamps, the first shipment having
been made this week. The cOncen-
trates run from $50 to 500 a ton in
gold. The company spent $4,000 in
installing the plant.
The Butte & st. Paul Mining com
in Granite county. has taken over the
Wisconsin property in Madison county.
The consideration is not known.
The Eglanol Placer Mining COM
pany, which owns extensive placer
ground in the Lincoln gulch, near FL
liston, Mont, has completed a bed
rock drain 22OO feet in length.
The Butte Mining q Developing com
pany is actively developing the EN-
ma mine with a view of tapping a
strong copper lead at 1900 feet At
500 feet the lead shows but per cent
copper, but carries over 20 per cent
lead, 20 ounces in silver and from
to ounces in gold. The general
history of the exploitation of Butte s
big mines has shown that in the up
per regions of the mineral zones lead
silver and gold values were to be
found in more or less quantity; but
with depth copper zone was encoun
tered. In the celebrated Anaconda
copper mine the red metal values were
not reached until a depth of 1000
feet had been attained. In the upper
portions of the Anaconda vein, native
silver was found so pure as to be-
cut with a knife. The ore now is &
mixed copper sulphide and galenf
ranging from to 60 per cent, will
varying amounts of silver.
The only trouble experienced BY
the Emma people at the present time
is that no smelter exists in Butte
which can handle the ores of the prop
erty, because of the abundance o
lead to be found in the Emma rock
In the history of Butte, no mine ha
been developed which carried simila
lead values.

MINING NOTES.

Always investigate before buying
and not after.
In the history of the mining industry
this year will be recorded as a memoir
able one.
The desire to increase the production
of our precious metals is not a sordid
or narrow, local, selnsh one.
Then again, it is not every mine that
has large leads of low grade gold ores
that can be worked at a profit.
The BOdie mine on the north half
of the Colville reservation will soon
have 10 stamp mill in operation.
The Dixie group of claims, about
five miles from Dixie Meadows, Idaho,
Is showing up Well. The vein is gu
feet wide at the surface.
Native labor for the mines of South
Africa has become of such importance
that the question is receiving cOnsid-
cradle attention of parliament at Lon
don.
The new neutrality-suspicious., pumps
and hoist-which has just been taken
to the Bullion copper property, on the
summit east of Wallace, Idaho, has
been set in operation.
OF course, it is very nice to find oc
casional punches of rich ore, but nearly
every pocket mine as they arc
called, has kept its owners broke look
ing for the rich pockets"
The Dixie Meadows Gold Mining
company has given an order for frs
class 10 stamp mill and concentrated
plant, to be delivered and installed II
the month of July this year.
Gold ores running in value from Sc
$40 and on up to $40, are the mines
that are today paying the big returns
and not those that are claimed to b'
producing 800 and higher values.
