RICH ROCK.

Missoula, Mont. May 11.-There
was JOY amongst the owners of the
Carter Mining and Milling company's
claims yesterday when Thomas Nell
son Marlowe received from Butte the

made in the Hidden Treasure. one
Of the company's group Of claims at
Carter. The returns show the ore
to contain gold value to the amount
Of $6,434 to the ton. There is Sill
yer to the extent of several dollars
and there is some copper in the ore.
but the gold figures obscured all the
rest, and as soon as Marlowe had
rubbed his eyes and had read the
assay certificates again, he called up
Harry Shepard. president of the COM
pany, and told him the news. 1t was
necessary to administer restorative
to the president, and he had to be
told against before he could compre-
bend the situation A. Hazeltine,
vice-president, was summoned at the
courthouse and he very nearly got
himself into contempt of court when
he heard the news. 1t was piece
of ore that had been brought in by
Superintendent McHeffey that caused
all the excitement. eve shall i'm
mediately tell McHeffey to gather all
of this ore he can scrape together
and then there will be a shipment"
said Marlowe. And the others ac-
quiesced.

Much speculation exists as to the
effect of the decision. That it will
apply to the territories and the Dis

court has determined that the eighth
amendment is not applicable to the
states, and hence the states will not
be compelled to follow the new prin-

CHICAGO NEWS LETTER.

Chicago, May 9.-The mutilatioa
the Senate passed and the House
committee pigeonholed, becomes pc
culiarly interesting in view of the
Standard hostility to the measure
which has been voiced in a circular
of the National City Bank Of New
York, a Standard Oil institution. The
hostility proceeds, it appears, not
from doubt of the public benefit Of
the measure but because the prem1-
um on securities held by big banks
is affected From every point of
view the postal savings bank bill
as it passed the Senate, is open 10
objection" the circular declares.
"The provision relative to the invest
ment of deposits in government
bonds in time of war or great ma
tional crises is particularly unfortu-
nate. In order to secure the passage
of the bill through the Senate, a
compromise was affected whereby
postal deposits invested in govern
ment bonds at such times. should be
only in bonds bearing not less than
| 21s per cent per annum. This Is
construed as a deliberate discrimina-
ton against the 1871, 100000 2 pei
cents which the government has al
ready issued" The propaganda OF
banking interests against the meas
ure has disclosed complacent belief
that the measure had been put tC

DECISION WILL
\ INTEREST LAWYERS
Supreme Court Ruling New Era in
Punishment OF Criminals, Which
May Change Practice.

Washington, May IL. - Criminal
lawyers throughout the country are
said to be agitated over the action Of
the supreme court Of the United
States in inaugurating what is desig-
mated as a new era in the punish
ment of criminals-that of requir-
ing punishment to be proportionate
to the offense.
The agitation among the legal pro-
fession arises from the decision of
the court last Monday when for the
first time in its history it set at
liberty person convicted of an Of
renee because there had been in
fiicted upon him "a cruel and UNI
usual punishment" 1t was in the
case of Paul Weems. an official in
the lighthouse service in the Phil
ippines.
His case came under the bill of
rights of the island. The court an
Aounced that it must give the same
Interpretation to that bill Of rights
as "given to the eighth amendment
to the constitution" Thereupon it
proceeded to construe this amend
nent prohibiting "a cruel and unus-
ual punishment"
Il was admitted that the constitu-
ton makers had used this phrase
only to prohibit the resort to inhu-
nan methods for causing bodily tor
ture. It had been used to prevent a
return to the Roman custom Of sew
Ing . parricide into a leather bag
with live dog. a cock. a viper and

and 70 the English custom of dis
emboweling traitors and burning
alive women who committed treason.
The court decided to regard these
precedents as milestones in the adj
vance Of civilization and not as lint
tations on the phrase.

ton. said Justice McKenna. In an

THE NEW KING AND
QUEEN OF ENGLAND

During the 1903 trip abroad made
by his father, King George, then
Pince of Wales, had to take on his
shoulders some of the kingly duties.
The result startled England.
The new king previously had been
best known for the things he didn't
do. Even the most loyal supporters
Of the royal family did not take
him seriously. Good-hearted, quiet,
reserved, unenergetc, perhaps
little negative-this was the general
estimate.
But when Prince George took the
tiller, he forced his critics to admit
they had underestimated him. He
showed evidences of careful study Of
European and colonial conditions.
he was kwidely read on every sub
ject He made speeches that were
clear, straightforward. Illuminating,
forceful. He showed himself one Of
the best informed men in England
on naval affairs.
Previously an extraordinary igno-
rance prevailed, even in England,
about the future ruler. He wasn't
the striking. SNOWY personality that
his father was. He didn't set styles
for the world. He was not a gall
CANT. He avoided the limelight.
1t is apparent, however, that King
George hasn't been wasting his AS
years.
The prince came into the world a
younger SON" Death in 1892
made him heir to the British throne
by carrying off his brother, the
Duke of Clarence, who was 10
months his senior.
Prince George, then 81, succeeded
his brother in the affections of the
popular Pincess May of Teck, as
we'll as in the line of succession.
Just month before the Duke OF
Clarence was to marry the Princess
May. an attack of influenza carried
him off. The marriage of Prince
George and the princess was at the
wish of Queen Victoria.
The new king of England was
known as the Sailor Prince. He
went to sea while still young boy,
and has gone through every grade
of the navy service. He has cruised
around the world, and made long
trip in visiting all the British colo
MES in 1901.
Queen May. whose full name is
Victoria Mary. was destined for a
throne from her birth. She was born
in the royal palace Of Kensington
on May 10th, 1867. She is the
mother of six children.
The new king and queen are
very devoted, and are seen every
where together. Queen May is
pretty, and great lover OF her home,
and is thoroughly English in her
thinking and tastes. She knows no
other language.
The only cause for difference be-
tween the new rulers is that King
George says his wife gives away
every cent she has. She has started
a nurses home, home for cripples,
supports scholarships in schools for
