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.

"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.

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. Iloe
nig, Von Elpons and Boguslawski.
The World'* l.nrucat Locomotive.
Material has been ordered by the
Santa Fe for the largest locomotive
ever built. 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.
"I shall wait for a further commun
ication from the war office, and if I do

J? " for Constipation
Dr. ,T. C. Ayer's Pills are a specific for
all diseases of the liver, stomach, and
bowels.
"I suffered from constipation which as
sumed such an obstinate form that 1 feared
it would cause a stoppage of the buwels.
After vainly trying various remedies, I be
gan to taku Ayer's Pills. Two boxes effected
a complete cure."
D. BURKE, Saeo, Me.
"For eight years I was afflicted with
constipation, which became so bad that the
doctors could do no more for me. Then 1
began to take Ayer's Pills, and soon tha
bowels recovered their natural action."
VV'M. H. DELAUCKTT, Dorset, Oat.
THE PILL THAT WILL.
not near irom tnem 1 shall offer my
invention to a foreign government. Of
course I would rather the new bullet
became the property of the English
government, but I want to know soon."
Mr. Chalk is a modest and very earn
est inventor, and when he mentioned
that he had tried one of his bullets in a
field, and that the projectile, obedient
to his wish, had circled iu the air about
five times and had then fallen behind
him, he did so with the air of a young
man who is calmly confident that he
has thought out a great thing. But of
the method by which he alleges he ob
tains these unusual results, no hint can
be extracted from him. That is the
secret he hopes to obtain those £150,-
000 from.
The Karllest Journal
The oldest newspaper in the world
is. not, as is generally stated, the thou
sand-year-old Kin Pan, of Pekin, but
tiio Tsing-Pao, or Pekin News, which
was lirsi published more than 500
years before the Norman conquest, and
which lias been published without In
termission for nearly 1,400 years.
The rsing Pno lias the appearance
of a yellow-backed magazine of twen
ty-four octavo pages, each page con
sisting of seven columns, and each
column consisting of seven "charac
ters." Two editions are published—an
edition ue luxe for the Court and the
tipper classes In China, at a cost of
24 cents per month; and an edition,
inferior in paper and printing, which
costs 10 cents a month.
The Tsing-Pao is the Times of China
and chronicles the wealth and move
ments of the Emperor, the life at
Court, and the reports of Ministers.
It is painfully significant that every
error iu printing the latter is punished
with death.
Circumstances Alter Cases
Circumstances are still much In the
habit of altering cases. It is said that
a Yorkshire Socialist was explaining
to a friend the principles of his belief,
and he made the statement at the
outset that all possessions should be
shared equally.
"If you had two horses," said the
friend, "would you give me one?"
"Of course," said the Socialist.
"And if you had two cows, would
you do the same?"
"Of course I should."
"Well, suppose now," said the
friend slowly, "that you had two pigs,
would you give me one of them?"
"Eh! tlia's gettin' ower near home,"
said the other slyly. "Tha knows I've
two pigs."
.An Unterrified CSlrl
A lovely girl was caught by her
aunt while Indulging in a surreptitious
cigarette.
"My dear," said the horrified aunt,
"do you know that every time you

"No, auntie, dear," said the lovely
girl, "you are wrong. A woman can't
