They have been Intcert iewed by reporters for newspapers and others and to all have given glowing accounts of the alleged wonderful riches of Thun der Mountain. They have exhibited their ores in Butte, Salt Lake, Chicago, New York, Boston, Pittsblurg, Clncinnatl, St. Paul, Minneapolis-In fact they have show, them everywhere. A Butte man who paid Thunder Moun tain a visit a few months ago says there are some good mines In that country, but those who are now engaged In the booming business, presumably, at so much per day or week, are overling the thing. Ile says that Colonel DIewy has some good property in the district and that It will no doubt prove to be a winner, but whether anyone wh:, con templates going there will strike it as well as has Mr. Dewey is it question. If Thunder Mountain does n,)t catch them there is anolther place in that eoe tion that may. It is known as Miller Mountain. Of it a trecent issue of the Boise Capital News s;ty.s: Mountain of Gold. "Another mountain of gold has been discovered in Idaho. Thllnder moun taln is to have a rival.

It is as follows: "You desire information as to the truth or falsity of the newspaper reports from Washington making me an active can dilate for the presidency. 4 "I deeply regret these reports.

Beproaching Rim for Alleged Gam. bling-Wanted to Stay in Bunny Bouth. (By Associated Press.) Paris, Feb. 1.-"I got 80 cablegrams in one day, while at Monte Carlo, asking whether it was possible that 1 was gam blinlg so high, and asking itf, in my posi tion, I was not ashamed of myself," said "harles M. Schwab, president of the United States Steel Corporation. In the (cermlan capital Mr. Schwab was to stop at the Hotel Bristol for a couple of days and was to leave today for the iI, tel Ritz, Paris. On February 2 Mr. 4chwI b starts for London, where he will Iri,'iably stop at the Carlton Hotel, and will eall on the St. Louis February 8 for home. While here Mr. Schwab managed to en Joy himself immensely. The papers, he said, had driven him away from where he would have wished to stop in the sunny South, hut Monte Carlo was made too hot for him 'by overzealous scribes, who, as already known, told too many details of his. wirnnings. No Cause for gala. lHe expressed regret that a great deal of fuss had been made out of nothing. He had merely done what all do who go to Monte Uarlo--played a bit, just as he wIouhl put a little on a horse at a race course, should he visit one, so as to have an interest in the races. Mr. Schwab's record here was well nigh unrivaled. Specially pleasing was the manner in which Emperor Franz Josef received him. The emperor would gladly welcome the news that. any number of Americans were coming over here, and he meant to show that in his reception to Mr. Schwab. The steel trust's president made a. record in getting an invitatlon to the court ball. All the lnvitations had long since ceasrd and the books of the court were closed. The answer at first was "Impossible," but that there is no "impossible" was shown by the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Schwab were present. Thereby they saw one of the finest sights in the world-a Viennese court ball. Created a Furor. Mrs. Schwab astonished all by a won derful diamond she wore, and Mr. R~,hwab .iade a record and astonished people htre by ordering a special train to take him to Budapest, just as an ord inary mrhtal would have ordered a pub 1ic cab. So enthusiastic were the Hungarians with hidalnrge handedness and enterprise in the-matter that they met him with cries as he arrived and departed of "El jen Schwab!" The first word, It may be explained.. meaning "bravo." He sampled some.extremely fine wines at a glorious breakfast given him at the Hotel Bristol by Prince Metternich, dur ing which be quaffed such nectar as Jo hannesb'.rg Cabinet, costing 200 kronen a lottle. At Budapest he was treated to tokay of the most ancient vintage, which can scarcely be obtained anywhere else. Meets Many Notables. At this dejeuner d'adieu there were present, among others, the hereditary ',rince ?Metternlch, Count Szapary, who had done Mr. Schwab the honors in Bud a pest as president of the Park club-con s!i,'red there one of the finest clubs in the world corunt Sternberg, Herr Novak 'of Prague, one of the leading commercial men in Austria, and Herren Charles Arthur and Ernest Wolff. (,rzie Wittgenstein, the largest steel man in Austria, gave a party in Mr ,chwah's 'honor the night he and Mrs tlr'hwah left. They went direct from that party to the train-a move which rather ast,niehed the guests present, but which Mr. Schwab described as "the way we do things in America." Peopl,, say that Mr. Schwalr combined a touch of business with a deal of pleas urP. and that he found time to talk about the posslbilities of the steel interests in Austria, and that questions of an amal gamation of interests were not foreign to the conversation. Anyhow, feelers were put out. ROOSEVELT AND HIS CALLERS. Senator Mason Praises the President's Handling of the Crowd. (By Associated Press.) Washington, Feb. 1.-Senator Mason (Itep.) of Illinois waited in the prest dnc'nt's reception room with a friend for some time this Inorning. They watched with much Interest the manner In which Mr. Roosevelt diand!cd the crowd of visitors. The work was done so well as to arouse Mr. Mason's admiration and to excite his comment. "I tell, you," he said, with evident renrnestness, "the president Is wearing well. He handles an enormous number of callers and 'their affairs in good shape, and does it in a way to please them, too. I was a little afraid at first that he would not be as adept at the bus iness as others have been, but I can say that 'this feeling has disappeared. "I have learned that the president's word can be relied upon to the letter, and have noticed with pleasure the bus inesslike air accompanying his disposi tion of government affairs." The senator says that the president is doing absolutely nothing in Illinois to help or hurt any candidate in that state's senatorial fight. This pleases Mr. Mason, who says he desires nothing but an open, fair field. Refused to Consider. (By Associated Press.) Des Molnes, Iowa.

THE GERMAN-ANGLO TREATY -ope of Unity Among the Opposition About Over.-dentification of Amer lca's Triend in the Spanish War Important to Britain. (By Associated Press.) London, Feb. 1.--The Irish party has begun another campaign against the gov. ernment in parliament, in the usual man ner, and with the anticipated setback. John Redmond's amendment to the government address, which was defeated after an ample and not altogether prof less debate by what may be called a normal government majority, brought up all of Ireland's present grievances from the point of view of those advanced nationalists who, many Irishmen believe, are as much responsible for Ireland's troubles as the dilatory and unimagin ative British government. Mr. Redmond's speech was perhaps un equaled by his own reputation for elo quence, but it was at least lucid and often sensible. A large portion of the liberal party upholds him in its protest against the recent coercive measures of the government in the most peaceable neighborhoods of Ireland, but the hslator Ic, hopelessly obscured, and many-sided land question will never be settled while Redmond and his followers pursue their present theatrical and extravagant course in parliament. Evolution of "Home Rule." Home rule, which once meant merely Ireland's incontestible right to manage its own home affairs, and have its own legislative body for that purpose, has grown in these days to mean separation and independence, which not only all Irish Unionists and Protestants, but many of the saner nationalists as well regard as undesirable and impossible. In the meanwhile Redmond and his contingent denounce the Irish govern ment, of which George Wyndham, as chief secretary for Ireland, is the real ex ecutive force, for harsh measures and injustice, while the Irish Unionists de nounce it with equal vehemence for wast ing time and lacking energy, and. giving the United Irish League too much head way. There will be a new land. bill this season, but nobody beleves that it will suit the Irish members or that any vig orous effort will be made to pass it. The Persian Gulf. The most profitable day in parliament thus far in the session was that devoted to the Walton amendment referring to the present situation in Persia, which was followed so closely by the St. Petersburg Novoe Vremya in an Inspired article on the chances of a great Euro pean war over that question as to seem a sort of comment on It. But war is mord likely to be In the Balkans, where affairs have been going from bad to worse, and whence the most gloomy predictions and tales of plot and counterplot come daily, but the Persian question is of vital importance, and grows larger. Yet, it is also one which ,the British government can ill afford to discuss frankly at the present hour, and the speeches on the government side in the recent debate were remarkable for their discretion; but the fact was, at least, brought out that the government has concluded a secret treaty to the Persian (1,lf, which practlcally makes England and Germany allies against Russia and that part of the world. RAILROADIO0COOK HMAUL OUT LOW GRADE ORES -Rgu es Men Are Figuring on Electrio *ellroad GOoneoting Cooke City and Smelters Which Are to Be in Yellowstone. (special to Inter Mountain.) Big Timber, Feb. 1.-It is reported that there is another scheme afoot to secure the building of a railroad into the Cooke City oountry, but this time instead of the regulatioh steam, the motive power is to be electricity, generated at our door by the waters of the Boulder river. The promoters of the scheme ere some of our best known business men and old timers of Sweetgrass, and it is gener 'Ily known that Eastern capitlists, pre ,umably in Baltimore, have taken the matter under consid,.rntun and will soon have experts look over the field, make surveys etc., and tf the feasibility of the scheme appears to them they will put up the capital for its construction. Start From Big Timber. The proposed electric road would start from Big Timber at which point it is the intention of those interested, tQ erect a large smelting plant for the re duction of the low grade ores of the Cooke City region. The same power can be had for the smelting and reduction works as for the motive power of the railroad. The promoters feel confident that an electric road can be operated success fully between this point and Cooke City, whereas a steam road might not on ac count of the heavy grades. MILNER HAS PLAN.

Lord Milner proposes to abolish flog ging and rigidly .to control the liquor traffic among the blacks. He admits this later to be a strenuous undertaking4 but says: "While I realize the difficulties, I also feel that we are bound by hook or by crook to overcome them. The whole credit of the administration is at stake. I am confident that his majesty's government will support our view that no trouble or expense should be spared in carrying out a policy which, if suc cessful, means a momentous triumph for civilization in this part of the world." oID SO LONG I That He Now Resembles a Forlorn Rip Van Winkle.
