Colo. , Nov. EC. ( Special. ) A big mining deal hag just been completed at Tcllu- rlclo anil the first payment of $25,000 on the deal marks the change In ownership of the Terrible and Butterfly mines. These prop- crtlcs arc Incited near Snn Hernnndlno sta tion , In the Trout lake district , owned by 1C. Itcnnon , and these propel tics are sold to the Anglo-American syndicate , principally composed ol Englishmen , tor a consideration of $190,000. The purchaser haa contracted for about 250,000 feet of lumber to be used in the construction of a largo mill butldlug at the mouth of the lower working tunnel , and the machinery for the mill , which will comprlsa thirty stamps with concentrating appliances , hna already been ordered. The work of erecting the mill will be pushed no rapidly as posnlblc , and the mines will bo worked on nn extensive scale at the earliest possible date. The owner has been prosecut ing development work and the properties for a number of years past , and as a result there nre Immense areas of ore blocked out and In night. Ho lies been shipping the high grade ere taken out. which has paid the develop ment expenses. The mlnca are an Ideal con- rer-iratlng proposition , and It was shown by teveral mill runs the past summer thut the pntlro vein matter , which Is from five to fifteen feet wide , could bo profitably handled. The sale Is the most important that has been made In San Miguel county this year , and has created quite a rlpnlo ot excitement in Tcllurlde. ( JOOI ) IMIORIIKSS IX MS\V MI2XICO.

( Special. ) With irrigation and mining both undergoing great development In th = territory , the people ple are feeling very much encouraged tor the future. A great deal of this develop ment Is being done by Colorado men , who are at work on the mines and are watching tlie progress of agriculture under Irrigation. A number of capitalists have been engaged for a time quietly picking up claims , locating mill sites , etc. , and have oven gone so far as to gather in. the agricultural lands along H' r river and lay out Irrigation ditches with a view to carrying forward several townslto and colonization enterprises with the coming of the new year. A notable move In this respect has. been made by William Glllis , a California pioneer , who came In by way cf Colorado and who Is now employing a force of men on a ditch that will bring under cultivation 3,000 acres on the west slope between Qulsa and lied Ulvcr City. Ho has a contract with twenty-five families from Storm Lnke , la. , to locate there In Feb ruary. ' On the east slope of the range It seems al most certain that the Atchlson , Topeka & Santa Fe means business In Its present sur vey for a. branch line of railroad trom Springer up through the Elizabethtown dis trict Into the Rod river region , nnd this en terprise Is greatly stimulating the mining In dustry In that locality. The Denver & Gulf road Is also. It is said , to extend Its Catskill branch toward the nod river at an early date ' and the Denver & Tllo Grande railway'is fig uring on a new bridge over the Rio Grande that will render Red river ores much more accessible than at present. 'At CocMta there has never been such good feeling umong property owners as exists at present. The pending saleot the Albemarlc group ot mines to J. A. Coram of Massa chusetts , I. L. Merrill of Dutte , Mont. , anil others , and the likelihood that the L/one St < u mine will also be sold for big money c Colorado men has seemed to put new life into the camp. The fact that the Iron King mlno has also fallen Into , the hands of Den ver people only accentuates this fact , and everybody believes that the time la now not far distant when the Cochlta will bo provided with tlct which the district has long needed a mammoth mill to treat the thousands tinon thousands of tons of $12 to $20 ore now exposed on the dumps In that wmp. la south Eania Fe county no such activity cs Is at present to box noted has been wit nessed In ten ycara. The crying want Killing facilities Is at last about to be sup- t < iod. The last carload of material for the lu w slxty-flvc-ton smelter at Cerrlllas was t't'lvercd yesterday and the plant will blow in between the 1st and 20th of December. Abcut the sumo time the Weycr-McGee mill at Dolores will bo In operation at Dolores , nlso the new pumping plant and two twenty- ton Huntlugton mills are doing excellent work on the Ortiz mine. G. E. Ulgot of St. L uls. president of the Ortiz Mlno company , loK for homo yesterday highly elated-over his success , particularly since a drift In the 305-foot level has developed a choice new body of gold-bearing quartz. A number of rich strikes are reported from the UMck Range district , the most Important being a discovery of three feet of ore In Ge'rgo Iliucus' Pelican mine at Hermosa yielding COO ounces In silver per ton. The best of reports have. been coming In from the Black Range for name time , one big group ot claims having struck a vein of gold rock giving smelter returns of J2.100 per ton , and much Is expected of the district during the coming winter.

Representative Rut- iBilse , of Sodgwlck county , a wealthy farmer , will be at the head of the or ganization , and the suit will be brought In his name. Farmers along the Arkanjas river from Arkansas City to the Colorado line are Interested ani will be called on to detraythe expenses ot the suit. Three Wichita attorneys assisted by two eminent lawyers ot Denver , one of whom Is an cx- c > , : 'Krcssinaii. are prepaflug the pipers and the case will probably be flled the first of the year.

( Special. ) A party , consisting ot State Secretary Roddlc Superintendent Davis of the Indian school , A. Aylcsworth , J. C. Hays and T , Madscn , were out at the Madscn ranche , on iBad river , on a wolf hunt , the first ot the week. They report great sport and wolves plenty , cap turing twenty-four in one day's hunting. They attempted to get the wolves out onto the open country , with the hope of getting a straightaway race between the hounds and a wolf , but this was a failure , the quarry keeping among the bluffs along the river , and necessitating eomo rough riding to keep In sight of the chase. Some of the riders were not accustomed to that kind of ground on which to take tholr jaunts and did not see as much of the chase as they would like to. But none of the ponies went down , and all the members of the party report an ex cellent day of sport , and another hunt Is likely to bo organized at any time to work over the same territory. .Supremo Court Opinion * .

The legislature appropriated $4,500 for this purpose for the biennial perlixl or 1S97 and 189S and cae- half of It has been used. A voucher on the second half was filed In the auditor's office today , but on account of the absence of Auditor Mayhew It has not been passed upon , but the commission takes the ground that he will refuse to admit and they will then como before the court of claims to have the matter finally settled. They hold that they are entitled to use the whole amount In one year if ttey so desire. \fir Soutli Dukotn Corporation * . PIERRE. S. D. . Nov. 20.

The total loss was about $3,500 ; Insurance. $1,000. Over 150,000 feet of lumber has been used at Mllbank In the making of portable fences to keep tbo enow from piling on the railroad tracks and these fences are being set uji on the line to Aberdeen. The commlsilcners of Pennlngton county have offered a reward for the capture and conviction ot the men who fired the court Louie in Rapid City. There U no doubt that both fires wure incendiary , Edward Averill and associates , who are working the Two Strike mine on the west rim ol Vullow creek , In the Black Hills , encountered a flat , siliceous body of ore , which runs $4S to the ton. In anticipation of the visit ot Genera ) Algcr , secretary of war. Hot Springs people are preparing to demonstrate to him the surpassing value of that resort aa a loc * % tlon for the national sanitarium. A dUpatch from Gettysburg saya that town has the beat pack of hounds for wolves in tbo northwest. In a one-day hunt hit week they killed five prairie wolves and one bufUlo wolf. No wolf is ever rtrhfj but that U killed by the doge alone and outlines before the men oa borfcbacJc hire reached the scene of the battle. On their return a photograph wa taken of the wolves and the hounds , which Is highly prized by the owners of the pack. Work Is being dene on the Golden Crest mine In the Black Hills for a hoisting plant and it Is understood a coal deal has been made with eastern parties by which $20,000 worth of work will be done there at once. The State university register Informs us that the student enrollment now reaches 292 , a number higher than fcr several years during the fall term. The 300 mark will be easily exceeded- early In the winter term. There Is trouble among the Deodwood ccal dealers , which culminated cae day last week In an action brought by one of them charg ing another with grand larceny in the tak ing away of four tons ot coal which did not belong to him. George A. Ludlow , commanding the De partment of South Dakota Union Veterar.a. has appointed George W. Dffmorest ot Ar thur C. Mcllette command ot Watertown de partment chaplain.

" The Golden Queen Milling and Mining com pany , owners of a group of twelve clalnu on Dcadwood gulch , three miles above Cen tral , have resumed operations after a shut down ot six months. The company has al ready driven two tunnels to a distance o : 100 feet and the other sixty feet and the work ot continuing the latter 100 feet turther was commenced last week. F. M. Wall , the bonanza king of the Ragged Top district , has six or seven cars of ere ready for shipment. The ore was taken from the Balmoral claim , In Ragged Top , and will run fmm $100 to $200 per ton. The returns from the smelter on the last shipment of ore sent from , this mine showed that the lowest value ot the ore was $12-1 per ton and the highest $163. Ati average value of $146 per ton shows that the ore that Mr. Wall to shipping Is valu able In the extreme. A Boston company haRsblpped _ a dredger to bo used for placer mining on More and Elk creeks. The Halley Times eays a rancher can ! lvc better In that region with less work than anywhere else. The Monolith mill at Shoup Is running steadily day and night , turning out about $9,000 In gold every month.

The Kendrick Times says a c.reful esti mate of the amount ot grain in the ware houses Is placed at 152,000 bushels , and the amount st-ill In thehaads of the farmers of the Potlatch is estimated at 60.000 bushels. There Is much lateral excitement among all classes i& Welser and there are a good many railroad men In the place. The opin ion seems to prevail that developments will- occur shortly that will result In the actual starting of the Seven Devils rond. It la reported that a rich strike has been made on Sage creek , In. the eastern portion of the state. A quartz ledge that Is traced for mmy miles has been discovered , and it Is said that the ore will mill $100 per ton , but the- report may be exaggerated. The grand Jury at Moscow has InJIcted ex-County Treasurer I. C. Haltabaugh , one of the most prominent men of the state , for em bezzlement of county and state 'money. ' The Indictment was much of a surprise , as the alleged embezzlement developed upon the failure'of Haltabaugh's bank nearly three yoirs ago. The state board of Idaho 'Is wrestling wltk a big bill for the return of two criminals to the state , coo Dlamcndfield Jack , who was brought back from Yuma , Ariz. , and the other Fred Glcason , who was brought back fronMontana. . The original bill was $2,300 , but It h-as been reduced to $900 , and even this Is regarded as excessive. At the Mammoth group of mines In Owy- hee county , McMahon & Junor have sold 51 per cent of their holdings to Messrs.

It Is now declared that the old base metal district of Eureka will show abundant bodies of high-grade gold ore. John Sparks of Reno the other day sold 5,000 head of range steers , yearlings and 2- ycar-olds for $25 per head. Shipments of refined bullion from the Do La Mar mine have ceased. Hereafter the product is to go out in the form of a cyanide. Thirteen Chinamen were sentenced In court In Nevada City one morning this week , each getting thirteen months la the penitentiary for selling liquor. The hay In Churchill county Is all sold and the farmers of Truckee Meadows hold their hay at $5 to $5.50 a ton , which the stockmen refuse to pay. Attorneys for James F. Dennis have sued the Southern Pacific railroad for $17,850 claimed to bo a balance due from the com pany for professional services. At the Silver Star mines , not far from Haw. thorne , the Bounce ledge has been opened for 350 feet and averages three and a half feet of milling ere which runs from $17 to40 per ton. Pimentel Bros , of Battle Mountain sold their flocks for $27,000 to Kansas dealers at $2.45 o head , including Iambi , wethers nnd ewes , which showe a remarkable improve ment over the market of less than six weeks ago , when only $1 a head was realizt-d. They will leave for California in a few days to in. vest in more sheep. Three old political relics , In the nature of union republican tickets of the Virginia City election held on May 2 , 1870 , were recently found by miners working on the 300-foot level of the Gould & Curry mine , from which place low-grade ore In being extracted from old fills , to be crushed at the KInkead mill. Not one of the candidates is now in the state. According to the Lovelocks correspondent of the Silver State the hunters who are kill ing ducks for the market on the lake at Granite Point are making a barrel of money.

OI1H-LT anil Hail llocuril of the 1'rihouur. CHICAGO , Nov. 2C. The Tribune today prints the following : The finding of the court-martial Is that the accused Is guilty as charged in the specifications , and that he be reprimanded by the reviewing authority , The court Is thus lenient In view of the good character of the accused , as shown In the evidence. The foregoing Is , according to the state ment of a man who knows the exact verdict of the court-martial , which has. just com pleted Its labors In the case of Captain Leonard A. Levering of Fort Sheridan , charged with brutal treatment of Private Charles Hammond. "It took the court-martial one hour to reach Ita decision. The first ballot resulted In seven membens of the court-martial voting guilty' and five 'not guilty. ' " The court-martial is composed of thirteen members , but Major Randolph , who had been detiilled to attend , was unable to do so , aud so twelve men sat as a Jury to decide the fate of Captuln Lovering. There was a vigorous effort made to have those parts ot the specifications charging Captain Levering with "cruelty" and "brutality" stricken out , but It was finally decided to consider the cbaifjes as they wore set forth In the specifications and the decision was reached without making the changes. A majority is conclusive In a court-martial finding , and BO , after the fact of guilt was established , the oaly thing to bo considered was the measure of punishment. The officers iad made up their minde that Hammond's career as a soldier was not creditable , and this weighed strongly In bringing them to an agreement as to the punishment to be meted out to Lovering. . LOVERING'S UECORD. The evidence showed that Captain Levering iad been connected with the United Stales military service for twenty-five years and that his record had been a good one. A number of iJie officers came out plainly and would jot vote for a finding of guilty or giving a mutilating punishment. It was argued that iainmond's record when placed by the side ot Contain Loverlng's was of such a character as unavoidably to gain some sympathy from the court for theofficer. . The finding of a court-martial Is secret. mder a solemn oath. The members of the court are sworn not to divulge the finding or discuss It until it has reached the highest authority , which in this case Is President Mc- vlnley. As the Levering eourt-martiiil Is the result of a direct order issued by the presi dent , he will bo the reviewing officer In the age , unless ho surrenders the responsibility , o General Alger , secretary of war. Lieutenant Colonel Hunter , Judge advocate of the court , will have hlfl record completed oday. and this , with the finding , will be forwarded to Washington tonight. It will probably bo placed In the hands of the presi dent on Monday and after Its Inspection by General Alger and General Miles the finding will bn clvnn out officially. The announce ment will probably IHJ made by Thursday of next week. It Is of course known that the president may change the sentence recom mended by the court-martial. WASHINGTON , Nov. 26. The record of tbo court-mirtlal In the case of Captain Lov- etiug has not yet reached the War depart- nent. It will not pass through the hands of General Brooke , as would be the case In the ordinary routine , but the general being re garded somtwhat in the light of an accuser of Loverlug the papers will not come before him at all , either for review or transmission to Washington from Chicago. The Judge ad vocate ot the court , It Is expected , will for ward the papers direct to Judge Advocate General Lleber nt the War department , and the latter will submit them with his endorse ment to General Miles , who In tuiu will send the case up to Secretary Alger , ani eventually It may reach the White House.

OIIJKCTS TO imiTISH MoriCniiiiilliatloiiN Arlnc Ovir the llrMvailnii iHlanilH. NEW YORK. Nov. 2C. A Washington dispatch to the Herald says : It Is the desire of the British government that the United States shall authorize a British company to land a cable on one of the Hawaiian Islands , this cable to connect Canada and Australia. Such authorization. Is cpposed by the French government , oa the ground that the luylnp of a cable with British capital would piaco Great 'Britain ' in control of a telegraphic system reaching around the entire- world , aud that , In the event of war , before a mcsaago could be transmitted the British govern ment's consent would have to be obtained. In case Great Britain were engaged In hr utilities , a diplomat pointed out , it would bo practically impossible for 'France ' to send a message over any cable which did not pasa through British territory , except that which connects France and Cape Cod , Mass. M. Patenotre has made a representation on the subject to Secretary Shcrmaz. vso said ho did not think it would make much dif ference ; this government could use the cable if It dfsircd and in case of necessity an c-ppoftltlon line could be established. The Trench officials , however , point out that In case of war between the United States and Great Britain the government would find itself seriously hampered If the cable wr.ru under British control. Information has re-ached here that agents of the British company interested In the cable enterprise and the consul general of Great Britain in Honolulu are. making a determined effort to secure a reccmmenda- tlon from the Dole authorities to the United States that the British company be allowed to land a cable. Mr , Scwall. the diplomatic represortatlvc of this govern inert to Hawaii , is wholly opposed to the granting of such permission ru the ground that such n-tlon would lie prejudicial to the Inn rests of bis Kovernme&t. It Is Impossible for the D' lo authorities to give pi'rmlsslc-n to lay a cable , on account of the reclprorlty treaty between Hawaii and the United iStatcs. The colonial office late this evening re ceived a cable message from Lagos , West Coast of Africa , rtatlng that a rumor li current an.ong the natives there of a c lllslou between -100 'British nnd French troops. The report. It Is .believed . , will prove to bo founded on a conflict between the French and some natives. Arnold's ilromo Celery cures headacuei , lOc , 25o and fiOc. All druggists.
