MIUHB Body of Free-MillingOre Eighl Miles Wide is Found in Montana. KLONDIKE CONDITIONS Output of Gold on the Yukon Saic to be Much Less Than Was Estimated. Twenty Returning Miner* tiring Out 5750 000 However and, Other Successful I'artiei Are Reported—Muclt of llie Alaskan Field Has Not Keen l'roperly Worked and There is Much Gold There—Warning foi Those Securing Transport at ion. A dispatch from Butte, Montana, says: A ledge of free-milling gold ore lias been discovered on the south fork of the Flathead river, thirty-live luilcn from Kalispel and twenty-two miles from Coram. The ore is found in a great blanket ledge eight miles wide. A shaft lias been sunk twenty-four feet without iindiug the foot wall. Tim discovery was made by K. 11. Seeley. Last fall placer gold was discovered near Hurned Cabin. Acting 011 the theory tiiat the goid came down the river. Mr. Seeley started up stream tu tind the mother lead, lie was re warded when lie found this tremen dous ledge of quartz cement, carrying both gold and silver. At the point of discovery the river cuts the lead so that the vein shows on either side of the river. The ore is hematite. The shaft iias been sunk near the edge of the river to a depth of twenty-four feet. Average samples of the last six feet proved to be very rich, showing SSOO in gold and SI.G& in silver to the toil. The ore is free milling. The river cuts this ledge for eight miles, ore is shown up on both sides of the river. Forty-four claims have been located, all oil the same ledge. At Mr. Seeley's solicitations a num ber of Duluth, Chicago, and New York men will arrive to examine the ledge with a view to organizing a company. The neighborhood lias been organized into a new mining district, which is styled the Gold Heed mining district. Leasers are taking out some good looking copper ore from the Clinton mine iu Butte. A party of Butte capitalists have se cured control of the Williams coal mine, near Livingston, which was abandoned some years ago. A force of men is now at work on the proper ty. The lead shows up well, and the property may became an important gold producer. A pretty vein of oje was laid bare iu the Bonanza mine. Zosel district, last week. An assay gure a total value of $44.30 a ton, yielding a high percent age in lead and sijver, with a little gold. Tiie vein is about a foot wide. The south drift of the 500 foot cross cut tunnel of the Keystone mine in the Yalik district. U in nearly 100 feet on the lead and sliwvs the best ore to be found anywhere in the mine. The development work now in progress promises that this will become one of the big mining propositions of the state. The ore is of superior quality. In about ten days the drift will be crosscut to the hanging wall, when the width of the vein .'n the lower level will tie known. The success atlerding the explora tions at tlie Liverpool mine in Lump Gulch has stimulate the reopening of some other mines in that locality. The Little .Veil will resume at once. It was closed down • the time of the miners' strike two ysars ago, the own eis preferring to »hut down rather than submit to the wages asked. Since then parts of the mine have been worked on lease, and the leasers are said to have discovered new bodies of ore. A letter from Dawson City, under date of June 25. sayj the output of the mines of the Yukoit region this year, while it has reached between SIO,OOO, 000 and $15,000,000. has disappointed even the more conservative estimates made last fall, based on the prospects then existing. Thri\> tilings have con tributed to shorten Jhis spring's clean up-the Canadian royalty, the lack of men and the lack of strengthening food. Tlie steamship Cottage City, which touched on her way to Seattle from Alaska, had on l>o.\»d twenty miners from Dawson City .vitli about three quarters of a millii.n dollars in gold dust and drafts, meetly drafts. They came up the Yukou in a steamer to White Horse IMp'.ds. where they transferred to a lake steamer. The passenger ttattle between the Western Pacific Statys is not so heavy as it was before the war began, but it is still great enough to make timely and interesting tlie warning published by the State Department from a recent report by United States Consul Dud ley, at Vancouver. Colonel Dudley writes: Care should be tafeen by those who contemplate going to the gold fields in entering into transportation contracts. It appears that certain companies have obtained a considerable sum of money (generally $."./)0 for each per son) upon very ingeniously worded contracts that tli» persein payiug should be transported to the gold fields in the north, With all necessary outfit furnished and expenses paid. In three cases in whicfc men have paid their money they have been brought, at slight expense, to this and other ports, and then abandoned. THE FIRST WAR TROPHY. It Is the Castiliau Flag Which Floated Over the Cavite Forts at Munlla. The first war trophy captured from Spain is possessed by Hon. William E. Mason, United States senator from Il linois. It is the Castilian flag whiel*. floated defiantly from the heights of tlio Cavite forts and arsenal at Manila 1:11 May 1, in the face of Admiral Dew ey's squadron. After the bombardment and surren der the liag was taken by a body of marines from the Olympia, and short ly thereafter the crew in a body sent the flag to Senator Mason in recogni tion of his manly and patriotic denun ciations of Spanish intrigue and treachery in tlie destruction of the bat tleship Maine. The flag, accompanied by the following letter from the 01m pia's crew, reached Senator Mason in Chicago: "United States Flagship Olympia, ) "Cavite,Philippine Islands, May 12, '98.) "To the Honorable W. E. Mason, Sen ator, Illinois, United States of America: "Sir:—Please accept the accompany ing Spanish flag in the name of the ship's company of the United States flagship Olympia. "This flag was taken (after the de struction of the Spanish fleet) from the forts and arsenal at Cavite after the bombardment and surrender, Ma nila Bay, May 1, 1898. !' _ . _ ______ . ILAG OK CAVITE. "This is sent as a token of our esteem for your patriotic utterances in Congress with regard to the Maine dis aster, which sentiments find a ready echo in the heart of every bluejacket serving under the Star Spangled Man ner. "Very respectfully, your obedient ser vants, (Signed for the ship's company). "J. S. ECKST ROM, Chief Master of Arms. "W. W. CUE AG 11, Chief Yeoman." The flag is ten by fourteen feet in length, having in the centre the coat of arms of castile with the lion rampant and the castle tower. The bars are three feet wide, two red, the centre being of a faded yellow. The flag is rent in numerous places from pieces of burst ing shells and rifle bullets, while the hunting is dimmed here and there by blotches of Spanish blood. <■«>ncnil MIICN. A splendid physique enables Gen. Miles still to enjoy all outdoor sports and exercises. He is a superb rider, sitting his horse with the graceful ease of a cowboy, and a lover of the chase, especially after the big game of the pjains; yet he does not disdain, to gether Tith his charming wife (a niece of the late Gen. Sherman) to sit astride of the irrepressible wheel, which he has encouraged and popularized for military purposes. It is in the field that Gen. Miles shows himself the truest soldier. Quick, alert, fearless, and untiring, he im parts much of his admirable enthusi asm to all of his subordinates, from whom he exacts and obtains the most thorough and conscientious effort. He has been fortunate, it is true, but even ill luck could never have kept down a man of his capacity, invention and in defatigable energy. The civil war gave him the needed opportunity, and the Hispano-American war no doubt will crown his eventful career with added lustre and lasting glory. His recent study upon the ground of European military systems must have admirably supplemented a long course of profes sional reading, thought and training. Nowhere, perhaps, has he given great er evidence of liis ability for important command than in his prudent insist ence upon the invasion of Cuba by a large, fully equipped, well drilled and disciplined army. In this stand so free ly criticised The Criterion says his rea sons have been military rather than hygienic, and they have been heartily indorsed by authorities no less emi nent than Lord Wolsel*ey and the dis tinguished German experts, Gens.

The engine has been de signed for mountain climbing, and it is said that the big Player engines and those built for the Santa Fe by the Dickson Locomotive Works will be but playthings when compared with this giant "locomotive. The engine will lie built by the loco motive department of the Santa Fe shops in this city. Among its features will be a boiler built of one-inch boiler steel and cylinders whose dfmenslons will lie 12 by 32 inches. It will have no "pops," as they will not be required. No fireman living would be able to build a fire that would create enough steam to burst the boiler of this mogul. The engine will have ten drivers, and it is estimated that it will be able to haul a third larger load than any en gine the Santa Fe now has. it is not known just when this great, est of moguls will be completed, as the material for its construction has just been ordered, but it »'ill not be until son li s 1 ini" late in the summer or early In the fall. BEATS A BOOMERANG. THIS BULLET JUMPS OVER A MAN AND HITS HIM IN THE BACK. A Person Will Not Be Salo From an Knemj Standing on the Opposite Side of a House If the Claims of a Young Kngll*h In. ventor Are True. The man who flatters himself that he is safe because he is behind a house when another man is firing off a gyn at the other side, had better get rid of that ridiculous notion once and for all. For a young inventor claims to have discovered a wonderful new way of making bullets; and if the new bullet meets with that popularity which its remarkable abilities appear to warrant, it won't be quite safe to be in a bal loon while an effort is being made to fire down a well. In short, the new bullet will, even if it does only half of 'what is claimed for it, upset all old fashioned notions of the laws govern ing the flight of projectiles. Arthur Chalk of Church Place, High street, Wapping, is the young inventor in question, and he yesterday told a Daily Mail reporter that this new bul let of his would go around corners, suddenly shoot up in the air and de scend point first on top of a town or anything, or fly round and round and then jump back and kill off an enemy at the back of the man who fired it. "I am but eighteen years of age," said Mr. Chalk, modestly, "and I am confident that 1 have invented a bullet thai will revolutionize fighting. What I claim, and am prepared to prove, is that with my bullet I cat*, hit an object that is round a corner or on the other side of a block of houses. There is ab solutely no doubt about the accuracy of the aim. Supposing, now, you wanted to hit something that was round the corner of a mountain. When you had fotiud the distance between your gun and the mountain you would fix your bullet to alter its course at a certain moment. Then you'd fire, and the man round the corner would be sorry. "Or, say you wanted to hit an ene my's ship lying on the other side of one of your own. That would be'the easiest thing imaginable. You would just fix your bullet togo straight for a bit, then soar upward for awhile, and then rush down point first on top of the doomed vessel. "I toll you, my l)ii 1 let will go any . way and do anything you may want it to, and I've written to the war office (to say so. "Up to now the only communication I have received in reply is the usual stereotyped acknowledgment;»but the patent office people—he did not men tion names- have valued the invention at £150,000, and have told me that it is the most marvelous invention of the present age.
