It's beginning in most peculiar way
When boy. 10 or II years old, he
became greatly interested in chemis-
try, and, having procured some books
on the subject, persuaded his mother
tc allow him space in her cellar for
laboratory, Here he experimental
with such chemicals as he could pro-
cure at the local drug stores with
his limited pocket money. He con-
tinued his studies at home until he
was between II and 10 years old, and
them finding his pocket money was
inadequate to purchase all the appar-
atus and chemicals he wanted, per
suaded his father and mother to al
/ low him to become a railroad news
boy In order that he might earn the
money for his experiments. He re-
ceived permission, and thus came to
sell newspapers, magazines, candy
etc. on one of the trains of the Grand
Trunk railroad, running between Port
Huron and Detroit Part of the bag
gage car was allowed him for his
stock of goods, and in this space he
moved his laboratory from home to
the train, and there continued to eX-
pertinent but on an enlarged scale.
He continued along these lines of
work between two and three years,
until one day a bottle containing
Iphosphates fell off a shelf and broke
upon the floor The phOsphates set
fire to the car, which was with some
difficulty saved from burning up, and
the conductor put the boy and his be-
Ilongings off the train and boxed his
ears so soundly as to cause the begin
ming of the deafness with which he
las ever since been afflicted. While
he is quite deaf he has a wonderfully
acute ear, which, being protected by
his deafness from the ordinary sounds
of life, will catch minute physical i'm
perfections that entirely escape the
notice of person of normal hearing.
In listening to a voice he uses pecu-
liarly shaped horn held close to the
ear.

CAPTAIN JOHN MULLAN
HIS MEMORY HONORED
CAUSES WHICH ACTUATED THE
BUILDING OF THE FAM
Gus ROAD.

A monument was last week dedi-
Gated in Missoula in honor of Capt.
John Mullan. 1t is n fitting tribute
to the pioneer road builder of the
west. The famous road connecting
Fort Benton, Mont, with Fort Walla
Walla, passes through this city and
Is now part of the transcontinental
highway, the yellowstone Trail" The
town of Mullan is named la honor of
the Mullan road that the early pros
pectors penetrated the wilderness that
is now the Occur d'Alene mining dis
trict and discovered gold and SUISSE
quently the great deposits of lead, sill
yer and zinc. Without this famous
road these discoveries would probably
have been long delayed and possibly
might not have been made even down
to this date. The work of Capt. John
Mullan is therefore intimately Assoc
ciated with the development Of the
Coenr d'Alene district,
In commenting on the dedication OF
the monument to his memory, the
Muscular gives the following his
torical facts which prompted the ma
tional government to commission
Capt. Mullan to build the road:
Slavery and the West.
The probabilities are that but
small percentage of the people now
inhabiting Montana, Idaho. Washing
ton and Oregon, the states immedi-
ately affected by the building of the
"Mullan road have but very hazy
idea of the causes that led up to the
action taken by congress in 1855 au-
thorizing it's construction.
Jefferson Davis was then secretary
of war; Franklin Pierce was president
of the United States. The great dream
of the then secretary of war and af-
forwards president of the confeder-
acy, was the extension of slave ter
ritory to the west and south, In or
der to counterbalance the ever in
creasing power of the free states.
Davis program contemplated the
building of a line of railroad. COM
mencing at some point on the lower
Mississippi, In slave holding ter
minal, and thence westward to the
Pacific, paralleling the Mexican Dor
der The famous "Gadsen purchase"
of Mexican territory was part of the
scheme for acquiring the needed right
of way for the proposed transcontin-
entail line that would develop slave
holding territory,
1t was the influence of the free soil
men of the north that caused the
passage of the bill directing the
building of the military road from
the head of navigation on the Mis-
, souri, to Fort Walla Walla in the Ore
gon territory"
1t was the prelude to the later act
of congress in 1861, authorizing the
construction, by the aid of govern
mental subsidy in the shape of
land grant, of railroad from Lake
Superior to the Puget Sound.

FLoTATloN PROCESS.
Decision of Federal Court Favors Min

Butte people are interested in the
decision rendered yesterday by the
United States district court at Wilm-
| ington, Del, in favor of the Minerals
Separation company, Limited of Lon
don, against the Miami Copper com
pany in consequence of similar litiga-
ton prevailing between the Minerals
Separation company against the Butte
& Superior company.
The case inyilving the Butte & Su-
lperior will come before the United
States supreme court next month on a
writ of certiorari. The Butte & Super
Tor case was decided by Federal Judge
George M. Bourquin at elena in favor
of the separation company, which al
legged patent infringement In connec-
ton with the employment of an oil
flotation process, the suit involving
damages and royalties on the use of
the process. The circuit court of APP
peals at San Francisco reversed Judge
Bourquin, but the supreme court fol-
lowed that action with the granting of
the writ of certiorari.
The following was received over

Judge Bradford in federal court is

Lieutenant John Mullan of the engin-
Ger corps of the army, was selected by
him TO build the military road that

Elements of the northwest With the

The route chosen was the natural
one that had been marked out by
the finger of the Almighty when he
appraised the mountain barriers and
traced the course of the rivers and
passes through the intervening 600
miles of practically unknown wilder
ness.
But the savage Indians had already
blazed the trails for the Mullan road,
centuries before the army engineer
traversed it. Later on, with the build
ing of the Northern Pacific, the rail-
road engineers adopted the same route

through the mountains than the one

the story carved in lasting marble of
the man who builded so years ago
among the wild beasts and wilder red
men the pioneer roadway of the north
west. He will learn the first chapter
in the ever thrilling story of the be-
ginning of civilization in the Rocky

The shaft that will be dedicated to-

RIG MINING CONGRESS
TO MEET IN CHICAGO
ervIs,oN OF MINING LAWS AND
SYSTEM OF LAND LEASING
TO BE DISCUSSED.

Legislation along several lines of
great importance to the west should
command the careful attention of all
those interested in the development OF
the western states" says ]. F. Call
breath, secretary of the American
Mining congress, which opens its
nineteenth annual session at Hotel
IaSalle. Chicago, November 49,
Mr.. Callbreath says the convention
promises to be the largest gathering
of mining men ever assembled in the
United States and will offer splen lid
opportunities for the western states
10 present their claims before prom
;nent citizens of the east, which can
give the congressional support neces-
sary to accomplish the results the
west needs.
pending before congress, Mr.. Call
breath said:
Revise Mining Laws.
The next session of congress will
have under consideration the Foster
bill, for revision of the mineral land
laws of the west. 1t will be recalled
that a bill for a commission to in
yestigate conditions through public
hearings in the western mining cen
tiers and make recommendations to
congress was introduced by Senator
Reed Smoot and passed the senate,
but failed to receive the approval of
the house committee on mines and
mining. In it's stead, DIR Foster the
chairman of the committee, introduce
ed bill intended to meet the require
ments without the preliminary work
of a commission. This bill was Sc
verely criticized by the west and the
mining journals, A thorough discus
sion of the subject will take place at
the Chicago convention. DR.. Foster
himself will lead the discussion and
defend the plan he proposes. The
discussion will be lively if the critics
of his bill meet him on the floor A
plan for future action will probably
be outlined and a campaign begun to
bring about the practical legislation
desired.
Leasing System.
"The question of whether the SEN
ate committee amendment to the Fer
ris land leasing bill shall prevail is of
vital Importance to the west. Whe-
Their the resources of the west are to
pay endless tribute to the national
government, through a federal leasing
system, or be subject to taxation by
the states themselves, concerns direct
" every taxpayer. 1t is a question of
home rule, with the western indus
tries controlled by those who know
them, as against control by cumber-
some agency 1000 miles away.
"The question will probably be nm
ally determined at the next session OF
congress. The bill has passed the
house and is no wbefore the senate.
The senate will probably approve the
recommendations of it's committee,
and, unless the west rallies to the
sunnnrt of the senate committee re-
