Murray to a Herald man this morn

"a big strike was made the other
day on the Hsysesd Mining com.
pany's group Of claims OF Murray
Hill. The company Ia tunnelling the
east side of the hill, just beyond the
old Hutch group. When In 100
feet the miners struck a big body Of
ore. Assays taken from the ledge
where encountered showed six colors.
A few feet further In a specimen was
panned aud showed fifteen colors. A

and assays returned 1864 per ton.
The workmen are not yet through the

1.-THE Hsyseed tunnel was started
on government ground, and the ore
body was struck before the crosscut
had entered the territory owned by
the Hsyseed company. When the
strike was made, you may bet there

veloped into highly profitable gold
mines, out Of which several men have
made fortunes.
Miss Dora Adams, an Eskimo con.
vert, and Constantine Aparosooki,
also an Eskimo. are witnesses for the
church organization. Elk : Judge
Charles johnson, of Nome, is another
witness from Alaska. Thus far nearly
twenty persons have testified.
The agreement Of the litiRants to
argue the case before q board Of arbi-
tration was due to their desire to
avoid the notoriety attendant on a
court hearing. The board consists
of Hiram T. Gilbert, A. NJ. Pence
and ID. +. Lane, and. the finding Of
the arbitrators Ia to be final. The
church society Ia represented by ex-
Judge NJ. Soderburg, Of San Fran.

ILL.,, and II. +. Williams. of Chi
cago. The defense Is represented by
Judge Axel Chytraus. Of the Cook
county courts.
In 1893 MIR. Hultberger was en-
gagged by the Swedish Evangelical
Mission Covenant to go to Cape
Nome AS a missionary for the society.
He established a school at Golovin
Bay, where he remained until 1898,
when failing health forced him to re.
trun to the United States for q year.
His assistant at Golovin Bay was p.
H. Anderson. Just before return
ing, MIR. Hultberger found a pocket
of gold, aud now claims to be the
original discoverer Of the Nome gold
region. He located bis claim and
left II In the csre Of Mr.. Anderson,
with the understanding. he says, that

trust for the church society. MIR.
Hultberger did not return to Alaska
until 1899. He found that during
his absence, Mr.. Anderson, with the
aid Of Gabriel Price, a practical
miner, had staked out niue claims
adjoining the original Discovery
claim. These claims were held In
the names Of various individuals.
The last two were known rs No 8
and No. .. II Ia this claim, No. o,
that the society seeks to recover
Claim No. 8 was first held by Con-
stantine A%parasooki, while No. o
WAS In the name Of Grabriel .Adams,
another Eskimo. now dead, who was
Aparasooki's partner. On the plea
that the Eskimos could not lawfully
hold title, It 10 alleged that Mr..
Anderson induced them to give up
possession and the property VA then
decided over to MIR. Price. Claim
No. Q was sold to Mr.. Anderson for
$50, II Ia said. Later MIR. Anderson
took into partnership with him DR..
johnson. Of Chicago. who was acting
as physician for the Swedish Mission
society. In 1902 they formed the
White Star Mining company Of Cali.
fornis. Last May the White Star
Mining company, Of Illinois was or.
Ranized In Chicago.
1t Is charged by President G. A.
Bjork, of the Swedish Missions, that
the cole object of the forming Of
these two corporations, selling
out to the other. was to cloud the
title to the property and thus pre-
vent the society from getting relief
at law.
Since 1899, It IL declared. Mr..
Anderson has taken out about siO,.
900 In gold. Claim NJ. ., II is
said, has nettted MI. Price some
thing like $500, 600. All told, the
amount taken from these two claims
alone aggregates neary 81, 900, 900,
and the representatives Of the Swedish
Mission claim they eau prove that u
greater sum has been realized.

BONES OF SOME STRANGE
ANIMAL OR 4 PACK MULE.

A Boise correspondent writes the
Butte Inter- Mountain that the pet
rified bones of a huge animal have
been discovered three or four miles
back Of the pe~nitentiary grounds by
Deputy United States Marshal G. X.
Andrews. Mr.. Andrews also found
several fragments which appear 10
be petrifed ivory. Incidentally, he
picked up q piece of stream tin aud
a lump Of what Seems to be iron ore.
Mr.. Andrews brought . quantity
Of bones. which are quite heavy, to
the city. He Ia undecided an to
whether they belonged to a dino.
sa%urian, dinotherium. ichthy ossurus
or pack mule.
Len Richardson, who inspected the
bones with u maRnifyinR glass. has
an idea that at some remote period
IN the history Of the state, probably
about the time q reduction In coal
rates was first promised, a hapless
prospector aud his pack mule tum.
bled into a hot mineral spring and
have been In soak ever since. The
unfortunate man evidently carried u
hunting knife with an ivory handle.
Mr.. Richardson believes that II Mr..
Andrews continues his search he will
find slices of petriiled bacon and pos.
sibly some petrifed beans.
The bones found by Mr.. Andrews
are rough, but the outlines are we'll
preserved. They are hardly large
enough for q mammoth. but evidently
those of an extinct species of the
animal kingdom. MIR. Andrews found
them scattered about among u num-
Der of peculiar formations resembling
huge soap kettles. He did not ex-
anime the ground very carefully, as
he Don picked up enough bones to
make q comfortable load.

RATS MADE BED OF MONEY.
When the Nest Was Found the Miss
ing Bills Were All Intact.

4 short time ago Mrs. Mike Huller,
who keeps a grocery store at the cor
ner of Eighth and Elm streets, hid
away where she could easily find it
SIG in bills for use at time when
necessity or desire required it. She
thought of thieves, but not of the ro-
dent description, and was therefore
quite particular in selecting a hid
ing place. A few days later she
thought she would take look at her
hidden treasure, with The view of as
surfing herself that the money was
where she had hidden, it, but on
going to the place her surprise can
easily be imagined wien, on placing
her hand where the money ought to
have been, she discotered that it was
gone.
Matters remained n that condition
up to a few days agp, when, hearing
rat travelling around the house, the
idea struck her thai rats were the
real purloiners of hT money. Going
to work with vim, The was not long
in ripping up two Or. three planks
from the floor Of one of the rooms of
the house, and, infituting close
search, was greatly Gated to find that
rodents had actually stolen the
money, packed it avay and made a
cosy hey of it, for W it was be-
fore her eyes. Ever bill was found
intact, not dollar iisslng.

HUNDRED MILE AN HOUR TRAIN.
is In Sight and VIII Come on Long
Runs.


We note with pleasure that our
:pace-devouring friends at Zossen
have not yet satiated their hunger
'or space and touched the record the
other day for no less than lao miles
per hour. They seem to be overcom-
ing air pressure rather comfortably up
10 the present, and we have heard
nothing about the motors failing or
the pressure caving in the front end
Of the car. Perhaps the doubling gen
tlemen who figured on the motors

Der hour to 100 miles per hour viii
now be convinced that higher speers
are both possible and practicable. One
hundred and forty miles per hour is
decidedly hot pace, but it will more
than likely be beaten before we go to
press. 1t has taken good many years
to evolve the two-minute trotting
horse, but this year we have him in
triplicate, and just so it has been with
electric railroading
Once the records began to break
they fairly blew up and left only small
fragments. One hundred and forty
miles per hour, even if not outdone by
considerable margin, still means
that the hundred mile-an-hour train is
much nearer to reality than it has
ever been before. That speed is quite
feasible whenever it is demanded, and
it is, moreover, quite high enough to-
meet the requirements of humanity
for some little time to come. It's real
Importance lies, as we have often re-
marked, in its application to long lines
on which the saving of time would be
material. Cutting down the running
time to Flatbush or Hackensack may
defer the dyspepsia of the Commuter
for another season or two, but it is not
commercially important. It is cut
ting the time on long runs that counts
reducing the time to Washington to
less than three hours, converting the
trip to Chicago into a mere nights
run. 1t is now announced that the ex-
periments have been conducted
largely with the idea of early applica-
tion of the system to the railroad con-
Meeting Berlin with Hamburg, distant
I by rail 176 miles from each other, and
that an early conversion hf that line
is by no means improba lie. Some

Fulton standa by CLAYTON.

days ago and changed the date of the
county primary from April IA to April
20, the day on which the state pri-
mary will be held. That was what the
committee was called together to do
but 1t was merly incidental to what
transpired after the committee met
There was two hours wrangle, hot
debates and sensation denouments
which made tn meeting the liveliest
the committee has held in a fortnight
The wrangle grew out Of set of reso-
lutions pledging Fulton county to sup
port the claims of Clayton county IN
the senatorial race for the thirty-fifth
district. Resolutions instructing Full
ton county's delegates to vote for
Clayton's claims were passed by a
majority of one vote.

pax Fixed for Tax Returns.

February 1 is made the date for
tax returns this year by order OF the
governor, comptroller general and
state treasurer. This means that all
parties who owned property on Feb
ruary 1, this year, will have to pay
taxes on it, no matter whether, they
were in continuous ownership, or
bought it the day before or sold 1t
the day after.
Under the law the governor, comp
troller general and state treasurer are
required Immediately after the first
of March each year. to fix date TO
which all RETURNS for taxation of both
real and personal property shall be
referred. A day prior to the date
Of the order is, of course, always Sc
lected so that no one viii be put on
notice and thus given an opportunity
to transfer property, or in the case OF
personal property, get it out of the
state.
The date last year was March 49,
or a month and a half later than the
date selected this time. 1t is custo-
mary to get the dates some distance
apart from year to year, so that any
evasion of the law on the ground
of the date may be prevented. The
date must always be fixed between
January l and April /.
