A New Use Discovered for Cun ning Rodents of Bounty Law Notoriety. The Argonaut Mining Lead Traced and Worked Out by Their Instinct-Rats. ANOTHER SC.EME. How Gophers IDuK for and Found a Rich Mine Near iasis. The following story, which is vou,.bed for by a correspondeit of the Bluite Muier, may be the truth: Mir. T. has charge of the Argonaut working party here. He is an exper ienced muan, an engineer and an old Nevada and Cahfornia miner. He has labored early and late to "st'ake it" iu the Argonaut, fully satisfied that an immense body of rich ore was to be found in the bill by peralstent drilling;. But as with ma.'y before him, time and bard rock have not been forgetful to remind him of the great cost. Grub, tools, powder and tabor coat money. He and his partner were rich in faith, but faith is poor food and it takes money to drive tun nels. They are not bonanza king=. six weeks ago these owners held a council and decided to "close down" If rich ore was not found by March *1t. Mr. T. was sorely perplexed. His faith was great but his financial fix was like that of the Apostles who had not silver and gold. The wrote to a friend-an old miner-in Nevada, told him all and lamented his necessary :luosing out of what be was sure was a fortune. A little time after a tele gram was received stating "something hbipped by express to-day." In a few days the "something" ar. rived. It was a lurge box perforated with one-inch auger holes. In it were t n frisky little anuimals that proved to be gophers. Upon the box was tacked a letter, whose contents read: "We use them with entire success here; try the.; they are well traiued." The letter explained that it is not generally known that t:,ese industrious little ones have a great fancy for globules of quicksielver, but it is a fact that such is their infatuation for it that they will follow the glittering metal as long ae they can scratch dirt. The miner makes a hole in the ground at various places on the surface ground of his claim, and pouts an ounce or two of the quicksilver in esch. The gopher is held over the bole and sees the shbin ing stuff at the bottom. Instantly be darts for it. Hecan't pick it up, but he thinks he can all the same and there be digs and dig., stopped by nothing to lung as the bright sub stance is in sight. All the miner has to do is to prospect the dirt thrown out by the g',phers, and thus the lead is found and the exact place where the wealth I.es is located. The argonaut people found their vein after eight days' gophering and nlow have sutnk a shaft squarely upon as rwh a silver lead as Montana can boast of. Fatal Italroad Accident. 'CHICAGo, April 4 -A rlietial from New Hampton. Iowa, sayu: A terrible disaster occured aevei mules from here thi.s morning, whereby the ;.seienger coaebes on the wst bound Milwaukee & St. Paul train were pripllated into the Wapele river. It was caused by the giving away of a bridge. The en gloiner and two, ptnao gerw are knowno to have been drowned, atnd it is sup. posed the same fate has befallen the balance of the paesengers.

On March 19thl Es.tmran wrote to Stone, stating that in order that there might be no misunderstanding as to the politon and policy of the, late Reading engin. eerr and firemen now employed on the 'Q " and those who are to be em ployed, he would state that the men would be faithful to their duties and steadfast in their allegiance to their new employers. On March 25th Stone wrote to Eastman assuring him that the "Reading men" on the "Q" would never be displaced to make room for anybody. oause YFllibuestrs. WASHINGTON, April 5.-The house to-day resumed the fillibustering over the direct tax bill which con sumed the time from noon yesterday until 2 o'clook to-day. Speaker Car lisle ruled to-day that be had no power to put an end to fillibustering, as there were just enough memibrs opposed to .he lill to make dilatory rumo.imn and prevent the majority from passing it. Dreary roll calls con tinued, eutting off commerce and mil itary affairs and oommittees whiob had orders for tr-day. General Terry Retired. WAsauINTON. April 5.-General T'rry was pl'eed on the retired list of the army to-day. This is in accord atnce with the report of the army re tiring board, of w hieh General Hee-a fl Id i presidetnt. The report was sub mitted b. the secretary of war to the President to-day and was immediate ly approved. Piased the Menate Washington Spro.al: By a vote of 29 to 15 the Senuate pawed a bill grantiug the Billing., Clarks Fork and Cooke City Railroad Company thel right of way thbrugh the Crow In dian reservation. Mr. Daris opposed the consideration of the bill, but by a yea and nay vote of 34 to 17 the Sea ate proceeded to its consideration. The bill was amended by the additiot of the words, "That no part of iaid road shall touch any part of Ye low Stone Park." Debste on the bill was brief, beigconfilued to Senator Jones (Ark.) in favor, and Davis against. Jones firat gave the history of legi.la lion by which the Rocky Fork got through last year. and the Billings failed. The entire opposition to the .bll came from a rival road, which claimed that itcould not get financial help to build its road unless this roaed was refused right of way. It could occasion the Indians no inconven ience to put this other line throuh. In the course of his speechb Jones said: "The purpose of btth roads, I under. stand, is to reach cerlain coal beds for the supiply of coal to Montana and Wyoming, and all along the country iu the Yellowstone Valley. I believe one railroad reaching these coal beds woulh be a good thing, but I believe that two roads would be more than twice as good, and public policy re quires that while the Ro' ky Fork road rea.hes the coal beds, we should allow the Billinga compauy to do the same, so that there may be competi tion for the benefit of those who are in need of fuel in the cold winters of that rigorous climata. Humbug. A writer in the Killings Gazette thug criticiecs a recent artnle in the He! ens Sunday Record, oin which the old chestnut Chesh ;a-Pah, the medicine man of the Crow Indians who was killed l1t fall during the troubles, is canonized." The gentleman who wrote the article is one who can clothe the moot ordinary eveut with language equal to tost of the story t|hiers of theeast, transform trite say inop into flowery periods and write esatertailololy about-n-othlng. While Ihere was a pathetic side presented in the hibtory of the shbort career of the late Sword Bearer, the idea of placilb him in the same category as Buddha, M,,bammed and others nearly as great, who lived, fought and died for great principles, is an offene to common sense and good taste that "smells rank to Heaveu" And as for the other prophyts, who are only knouwn (the writer claims) to himself and other *eoeiteiastlcl sobolars," not beln numbered among these learned men I mannot say as to how the med laine man compared with them The ob scurity into whblbh they havel.ha is' as the light of day compared to the darknes of theshades o oblivion lonto whlch the false prophet of tue Crows Iu already ,used."

It is also alleged that they had some trouble with the yardmatwr, whiho may hv. had something to do with shaping their course. Another reason given is ihat they demand the same wages paid for similar work at Butte, who-b ar- -aid to be higher than those paid here. At all events the men quit on Tuesday and refused to return at the old wages. Mr. J. E.
