J. C. Kinman w.-ites from Woodville,
Montana, to the Butte Miner the follow ing
account of one of tbe most remarkable
adventnrea ever experienced by a pros
pector iu the northwest:
One evening last week, after x long
ramble over the hills, I had reached tbe
conclusion to return home, lest night
should overtake me in that locality, when
I came upon a trail which had evidently
recently been traveled. I followed it up
tbe mountain for some distance, when 1
noticed a dump right in font of me. Be
ing a prosj*ector, as a matter of course I
climlied right up to It. The shaft out of
which it came was about fo’ly or fifty
feet deep, timbered to the bottom. I saw
nothing remarkable about tbe dump or
shaft and might have passed on bnt for
the great dispropolion between them,
the dump ticing more than sufficient to
have filled two shafts the size of the one
lioneaih me.
Notwitbsumding the night was fast ap
proaching, I descended the broken ladder
to the bottom of the shaft. I took from
my |iocket a piece of candle which I usu
ally carry on such expeditions, when by
iu« aid I discovered a crosscut running
from tbe bottom of the shaft. The croto
cut had been lagged up so as to conceal it,
but some of the laggi ig had fallen to one
side. Upon exploring it I found it was
pe -Imps fifty feet in length and had cross
cut the finest body of o*e what I ever saw.
The vein was nearly four feet In width
and seemed to be widening', specimens
I which I b oke f- om the ledge showed
native gold and nndve silver.
I had stood there examining and admir
ing the jewel for some time when I hea -d
a noise in the abaft. I looked, and my
heart stood still, for there in the cut we e
two pairs of fiery eyes glueing at me. I
knew in a moment they were mountain
lions. I reached for my revolver, hut I
had left it at home, and my gun was on
top. One who has neve' lieen in such a
predicament can hardly imagine the feel
ings, thoughts and emotions of a men in
such peril. 1 shouted and advanced to
ward them, but ihey oily growled de -
ance. I have heard old hunters say such
animals are afraid of fi-e, so I kept my
candle in front of me, but that would soon
lie gone, for it was only a few inches in
length, and then I would be devoured by
the owners of those eyea.
The lions kept growling and threaten
ing every moment to attack me. My
aandie was growing shorter. Something
had to be done. I picked a piece of rock
from the side of the cut and tied a letter to
it, which I chanced to have in my pocket.
I men set the letter on fire and threw the
rock with the blazing letter at the lions
and gave a yell, and the way those lions
got out of the shaft was amusing to me
even under the circumstance.!, for it
•earned to me that I had been down the re
a thousand years, though in reality it was
aliout two hours. When I reached the
top, which I did immediately after the
retreat of the leasts, I heard someone
coming up the trail. I waited. It was
the men who struck the bonanza. They
were astonished to find me there at that
hour and were inclined to be cross, but
when I told them what kind of an experi
ence I had they had a good laugh over it.
When I asked them some particulars as
to their find the}' said there was a cloud
on their title to the properly which the
statute of limitation would dispell, pro
vided the other party was kept in ignor
ance of the strike, and added they had
taken out a few tons secretly which net
ted them over #llOO to the ton. After the
boys had secured the opening through
which I entered the cut, are all went down
tbe hill together. Aa I believe in the
right of the discoverer to reap the benefit
of bis discovery I shall not give the boys
! away.

THE TWSKTY-FIYE DISTRICTS
in Approximate Outline of the Coming
Apportionment.
A Cakalßilea of line Territory’* foj.
■latleß the Bailn off the Vote
l'»«l Last Nevrmbrr; Allow
ance for New Population.
There wU lie seventy-five delegates in
the constitutional convention. The terri
tory must lie divided into twenty-five dis
tricts, in each of which three delegates
will lie electee!. The work of elistricting
the territory will be performed by the
governor, chief Justice of the supreme
court and secretary of the territory, or a
majority of them. The appoitionment will
lie according to population, as near us may
be, to be ascertained for the best informa
tion obtainable.
Probabl y the best information at hand
was ihe election returns of November last.
The total vote was 46,348. It is probably
a fair estimate to say that 10 per cent, of
the voters did not vote, or 463). Then
there have come into the territory since
Novembe-, or in four months, not less
than 10,000 men entitled to vote. These
swell the total voting population to 00,083.
On the basis upon which imputation is
usually calculated, four and one-half per
sons to each vote, the total population at
this time cannot lie far from 274,424.
Of couree it is impossible, within tbe
time allowed fo* the wo-k, to determine
how the increase of population is distrib
uted Tlie only way is to distribute the
estimated increase pro rata among tbe
counties. Assuming the population last
Noveml«r to have been, on tbe basis of
the vote cast plus the pe ventage who did
not vo.e, 229,424, there will be a surplus
of 4&,000 to distribute pro rata among the
counties according to the vote cost in
them respectively last November. It
would requi e a more elaborate calcula
tion than is necessary at this time to give
a detailed statement of the result, hut suf
ficiently occurete results can be arrived at
by multiplying the total vo.e in Novemlier
by 4>x and then adding the sum of the
total vote cast. For example, King
county cast a total of 6180 votes. This
sum plus 10 pe' tent, not voting and then
multiplied by 4(*, the ratio of the popu
lation to Ihe voter, gives 30,391, and ad
ding 6180, the county's pro rata of the
increase of population, a total population
of 80,771 is indicated.
Assuming the population of the terri
tory to lie 274,424, each of the twenty-live
districts, us nearly as may i«, must have
a population of 10,977. This would give
King£couniy a total of nine delegates with
3840 population to spare, or the equiva
lent of one-third of an additional dele
gate. It appears there cannot lie a Joint
delegate elected in order to adjust such
inequalities, os the namiier ot districts
are fixed and also ihe number of delegates
to be elected in each one. To be sure,
county lines might lie disregarded, but
then the difficulty of ascertaining the
population of the particular section of a
county thrown into another district will
poesibly prevent this plan being adopted.
According to the same basis of calcula
tion the districts, with the respective pop
ulation, will be defined as follows:
Fioit district—Walla Walla, 14,631; sec
ond—Columbia, 7997, and Garfield, 6814;
third and fourth—Asotin, 1993, and Whit
man, 22,528; fifth and sixth— Spokane,
26,423; seventh—Lincoln, 9703; eighth—
Stevens, 3440, Okanogan, 3343, and
Douglas, 2749; ninth—Adams, 2196,
Franklin, 859, and Yakima, 5414; tenth
—Kittitas, 8632; eleventh, Klickitat, 6593,
and Skamania, 579; twelfth —Clarke, 10,-
193; thirteenth—Cow lit*, 6090, and Lewis,
9316; fourteenth—Wahkiakum, 1886, Pa
cific, 3784, and Cbehalis, 8389; fifteenth
—Thurston, 8433; sixteenth—Mason,
3393, and Kitsap, 4446: seventeenth—
Jefferson, 6452, and Clallam, 2099; eight
eenth—lsland, 1024, Han Juan, 2285, and
Whatcom, 7408; nineteenth—Rnohomisn,
7675; twentieth— Skagit, 7026; twenty
first, twenty-second and twenty-third—
King, 36,771; twenty-fourth and twenty
fifty—Pierce, 24,C40.
This gives a total of twenty-five dis
tricts. There are ten east of the moun
tains and fifteen west.— StaUU Budget.

By next summer the American Beef
Company, one of the largest corporations
that haa yet been organised, hopes to be
supplying the eastern market with beef.
It holda Us charter nnder the laws of New
Mexico, wbe*w much of its property is
situated, and has an authorized capital of
$25,000,000. The company holds in fee
1,869,000 acres of land ; a tract larger than
Rhode Island, and owns 200,000 heed of
cattle, 2000 horses, and a large stock of
sheep and bogs, lies ides a la*ge number
of refrigerator care. The Kansas City
slau;,hte’ bouse and the Baltimore market,
in which Ormond Hammond, Jr., was In
terested.- have beta turned into the same
big »001, and the company owns large
feeding sheds at Topeka.
The plan of the euterprise is to control
every stage of ♦he beef business from the
ranch to the consumer’s table. Stores
will lie erected in New York, Baltimore,
Boston and elsewhere, as occasion may
demand, and sales will he made direct to
consumers. Hide-, fat, bools, etc., find
ready ma-kot si Kansas City, whe*e the
company's slaughter booses are.
The ranchos and ranges that hare been
turned into this pool are in Mexico and
New Mexico, whe»e frost, snow and Wla
sards are unknown, wher.. e #r t' c are
probably freer from disease, by reason of
the cltmafe and grasses, that in any oilier
portion of tbe country.
Among the ranches are those of Colonel
Robt. G. Ingersoll; tlie Palo Alto ranches,
owned by the Hon. John B. Alley, of
Lynn, Mass.; those of Joseph W. Dwyer,
8. V. White, Governor O. A. Hadley, D.
C. Holcomb, J. A. Hubbell, S. Lindauer,
Stephen W. Dorsey, Mrs. Pock (Mr. Dor
sey’s sister-in-law), C. H. Dane, a Silver
City hanker, all of New Mexico; the Oak
Grove ranches, owned by E. C. Converse
snd J. H. Flagler, and those of Don
Thomas Mac Mamie, a Mexican banker.
The officers of the company are: Presi
dent, J. H. Flagler, president of the Cot
ton Seed Oil trust; vice-president, J. O.
Moss, treasurer of the Cotton Seed Oil
trust; secretary, Charles E. Coon, ex
treasurer of the United States; treasurer,
Jennings S. Cos, of John Davis A Co.,
bankers; general manager, Ormond Ham

IV Lh4h Hr
It is said that the great state trial in
England, growing out of the infamous
charges of the London Timet against Mr.
Parnell, will not fall short of a million
dollars. The result of the collapse of the
Timet case must permanently damage the
character and influence of the great news
paper, and of the tory ministry which has
hacked it in its assault upon the foremost
of Irish statesmen. The measure of tbe
loss of consequence and character on the
part of Mr. Parnell’s assailants Is tbe
measure of his gain. Whether the Timet
shad choose to acknowledge itself de
ceived or shall accept tbe imputation of
conspiracy now matters very little. It
has gone too far to break its fall, and has
probably done a greater sendee .'or the
Irish cause by its venom than could have
lieen accomplished by any English friend
of Ireland, however powerful. The strug
gle of the Irish people for justice will take
on a more hopeful aspect from this time
forward.— Philadelphia Record.
Why tV tat U~idL
Elliot F. Shepard, editor of tbe New
York Mail and Erpreu, sends his paper
the following from Washington: Harri
son stated that be would have been much
pleased to have appointed to his cabinet a
member from the Pacific coast. He early
requested the people of tbe Pacific slope
to unite upon two or three names from
which he might select, but they neglected
to do this until quite late. Finally, when
the}’ did present some names, they stated
specifically that no positions would be ac
ceptable except the interior department
or at.orney-generalsbip. Already tbe oc
cupants for these two offices had been set
tled upon or narrowed down to a couple
of names from other states, and it was im
possible to accommodate tbe coast. This
is why the Pacific slope is not represented
in tlie cabinet, as Harrison had hoped
and expected for some time.
Wky falW tkOwiftu Bill
The title ’’Omnibus BUI,” given to the
measure under which North and South
Dakota. Montana and Washington are
admitted into tbe Union, was furnished
to designate a compromise act originally
introduced by Henry Clay, which passed
both houses of congress in 1850. It was
given to it from tlie circumstance that
several measures entirely distinct in their
object were embodied in one bill. The
most important stipulations of this act
were those providing for the admission of
California into tbe Union, as a state with
its anti-slavery constitution, (or the ad
mission of Utah and New Mexico os ter
ritories, with no mention of slavery, for
the abolition of tbs slave trade in tbs Dis
trict of Columbia, and for the rendition
of fugitive slaves.

The Hrbalo recently published an ac
count of the exposture of (tenoral Ward,
who stumped the east, in the last cam
paign, for Harrison, and who proved to
be Arlington Buckingham Wadsworth,
the accomplished scoundrel who swindled
the people of Spokane Falls and ran away
with the daughter of a prominent banker
of that city. ’’Ward,” as he but called
himself, fled to Europe on gaining knowl
edge that Detective Walworth, of the
Commercial Detective Agency, of Boston,
was on his track, and, on *OllOllOllOO, the
detective has given to tbe public tbe fol
lowing story of Ward’s varied career:
“The man whom you know as Gen. A.
B. Ward, and for whom we have been on
tlie lookout for a number of years, ha*
A HISTORY
that can hardly be equaled in the criminal
annals of this or any other country. He
waa in the hands of the police so frequently
and displayed so many resources in mak
ing his way out of the toils, that he is well
known to the police of the eastern states
and Europe, hut he is always under sur
veillance, and how he managed to conceal
his ideality for the past two yeare is a
matte *of great surprise to me. As to bis
early history, little Is really known, but
he has himself stated that if he should tell
who he was there would be a pretty well
developed row in circles very near the
British throne. I learned the most of his
story from a fellow detective who followed
him to California early in the ’7o’s and
from whom he made his escape by strat
egy while he was being taken east, and
the rest was obtained through tbe British
police. He was bom nea' Cheltenham,
England, almut fo.ty-el .lit years and
waa taken to the continent at once and
brought up by a man who traveled a great
deal between the Mediterranean and the
French capital, and who the boy knew us
his uncle. The uncle was a continued in
valid and seemed to have but one view in
life, and that was the care of bis health,
for slavery change of the weather the
child and nurse were taken from Nice to
Parts, snd vice versa. This continued
until young Ward, or, as he was then
known, Eugene Beauvoir, was about 13
years of age, when he was one da / shipped
to England, and without ado placed at
one of tbe public schools, Harrow. Here
he remained for about four yean, and
though rather disliked on account of his
DOUBTFUL ANTKCKDKNTS,
nothing was known of bim, and the only
visitor be ever had was an old lawyer who
took him to London every year in the long
vacation, and there he met a lady who
waa evidendy of ihe upper ten, and tbe
boy spent his vacations with this lady at
various watering places on tbe continent
and everything that money could buy was
lavished on him by his protectress who
waa devoted to him. What relationship,
if any, existed between them, be never
told, if he knew, which is doubtful.
“His last year at school was not a pleas
ant one for him, nor for his tutors, for
there was s certain element in his dis
position that made him disagreeable. He
developed vicious traits, but he waa a
rather remarkable boy, being sometimes
fastidious and a*aln descending to what
bordered on the brutish in bis habits and
punoits. It is a question if be would
have been received if he had returned to
school, bnt it looked as though he knew
what sort of reception he would get for be
never returned, and his companion on his
vacation trips was never thought of more,
though a story is remembered of tbe disap
pearance of a young Englishman who waa
staying with a lady presumed to be his
mother, in Venice, and who took with
bim a large amount of diamonds and coin.
The lady seemed overcome with grief and
refused the assistance of tbe police in her
endeavors to find the missing one, and she
was finally lost sight of.
“Young Beauvoir turned up In Phila
delphia in the fi.-st year of the civil war
and made a great splurge; giving himself
a title and living like a prince, and having
plenty of English gold, though there was
little of the Englishman in his appear
ance or bearing. He waa
BXCXKDIVOLY HANDSOME
and very well Informed, and made some*
thing of a sensation even in thoee sensa
tional days. Soon after his arrival he was
Joined by a young and beautiful lady,
whom be introduced as his wife, and
although the twain were eyed a good deal
they got the entree into swell society in
the Quaker city. The elegant young man
made a good many tripe, to different
of the country, and became quite a famil
iar figure in Washington society, and be
finally set up an establishment at the
capitol, and his distinguished appearance
and evident wealth gave him the freedom
of the city. He was lend in his boasting
of partisanship, and was looked on as a
staunch unionist, and his rooms were a
favorite resort lor the young attaches and
civil officials of Washington, and when
one morning a young official attached to
the ordnance department was found
drugged in the dining room of Beauvoir
and certain valuable papers were missed
that were known to have been in possess
100 of the officer the previous day Beau
voir was looked for, but in vain. Wash
ington was thunderstruck. His true
character was then suspected,hut although
every effort was mode (or his capture he
made good his escape, and Washington
suffered the loss of several tliousands in
the way of unpaid bills.
’’Eugene Bsnnerton, or Major Eugene
Bannerton, was a prominent figure at the
confederate capital during '62 and '63,
and many a clever piece of work was en
gineered by him. Although he seemed to
have no official dutiea there was no ques
t ion in i his standing, and he had a moans
of acquiring wealth that was not known Id
most of his fellow citizens.
TUX PLAMTKE’S DAI OHTRK.
”He lived in the best possible style,and
in ’64 married the daughter of a rich
Georgian planter, who held a commission,
who was a wealthy man in tbe matter of
slaves and land before the war. Within
two months of his marriage Major Ban
nerton disappeared and barely escaped
through the line# into northern territory.
What he is charged with is not remem
bered, bat that it was a serious matter
was proven by tlie fact that he trusted
himself on northern soil rather than stay
where be was, and tbe wife of two months
knew him no more.
“He is next identified witli a certain
Samuel Oakley Crawford, a young lawyer
in New York,whose questionable methods
in tbe matter of obtaining clearance (ta
pers for vessels whose cargoes and desti
nations differed somewhat from their
manifest. For this he was arrested, but
somehow managed to make his way clear
to freedom, and within six months after
getting clear of this change he waa on the
topmost wave of prosiierhy. having en
gaged in the insdne insurance business
snd was living* in elegant style at one of
the best hotels. When the insurance bub
ble burst he didn’t want to argue the mat
ter with the coarts, but made his recape.
He was heard of occasionally in the we?t,
but his operations in tbe east ceased until
the year of the panic, when Colonel E. P.
Browne, a gentleman of elegant taste and
apparently great wealth, appeared in
Providence, Rhode Island, and acting, as

Colonel Browne became at once a most

and he became identified with many of the
schemes used for tiding over tlie hard
times of *73 and ’74, bnt his methods were
questionable, and he waa deserted by men
whose characters were worth something
to them. His credit became impaired,
and bis wife’s jewelry was sold to give
the pair means to get out of Rhode Island
and away from the shadows of the del)t
ors’ prison which overhang Browne, and
aaronple of trans-Atlantic tickets, s change
of name, and the handsome Wilmot Ar
lington and bis beautiful but delicate
young wife were attracting their due share
of attention at one of Ihe German resorts.
There was nothing intrusive about tbe
pair, but they were a distingue couple,
aud were able to hold their own in rub
bing shoulders with the cold, bard world.
Everything went quite smoothly with
them, and by changing their place of
abode whenever anybody sconced Mr. Ar
lington of holding the king 100 often in
playing ecarte, they managed to eke out a
very decent living. In the summer of ’76
some little trouble was caused the gallant
Wilmot by trifling with diamonds again.
A large amount in precious stones to be
sold by s woman of rank, who had ruined
herself gambling, were entrusted to Ar
lington to dispose of; he returned the dia
monds to the lady after a time, saying he
could do nothing with them. Within a
few hours he started for a neighboring
town. On the same train went the wife
of a German officer, and the pair were
soon located in Paris. Tbe lad/ with tlie
diamonds was bonified to find upon offer

out and replaced with fictitious stones.
The wife whom he had deserted told his
story to the police in revenge, and tbe

once more crossed tbe briny, this time

in Philadelphia very quietly,or at least he
did not bring the notice of the police to
him. He seemed to have settled down si
this time, and for a couple of years be
read a great deal and even took some steps
towards getting into the legitimate prac

’’New Orleans was hie next place of

and aristocratic bearing waa all the pass

people there. After looking over the field
he disclosed his purpose of patting some

like the management of any of the exist

bank. He got hold of a number of sub

few interested, and no very close inquiry
into the condition of the principal was
made by the stockholders until after two
years one of the stockholders attempted
to withdraw and met with some opposi

president told him, and as he was inter
ested for a large sum it could not easily
be taken out of the business. Then Mr.

to its social foundation. The northern
police were put on the loukont for him,
and as soon as we heard the story we
identified K. B. Beauvoir with this man
of many aliases. It was soon found that
he had left the city aboard of a yacht, and
he was soon located in the City of Mexico.
He had kept clear of women in New Or
leans, but in Mexico be threw* off all re
serve and appeared in an entirely new
role. The city was agog for aome months
altout him and his manner of life, and
the most tremendous stories were told of
his orgies and amusements. In 1880 he
floated a mining concern in the state of
Chihuahua, and soon thereafter was re
quested by the authorities to leave the
country, and as Mexico is sometimes
given to popular uprisings he evidently
thought discretion the better pari of valor
and filed an appearance in Bosom, under
the name of E. I*. Brown, without any
unnecessary delay. Here he kept very
quiet for some time and got into the prac
tice of law, and showed evident abihiy,
but the demon of unrest was in him and
he distinguished himself by his manner
of life and got to he ve y much talked of
for an escapade with some women over at
the south end. In ’BS he was given a
power of attorney to collect some moneys
for a New York firm and that was the
last seen of him in the east. His next
appearance was at Hpokane Falls.”
Why the tarter MM.
M. B. Morion, one of the Age Herald
staff of reporters, and withal a young gen
tleman brim full of energy and wide awake
to the duties of his calling, was the only
reporter on the ground when the ciUiens
of Pratt mines visited their wrath upon
George Meadows, the murderer of Willie
Keilum. In this connection a gentleman
from Pratt mines relates a good story at
the expense of Mr. Morton.
It appears that the enterprising reporter
joined the party when Meadows was fi-st
brought in from the woods, where he bad
been secreted during the night by bis
guards. When he found, from the tem
per of the crowd, that a necktie party was
imminent, he remonstrated with the
leaders and made every effort to have the
lynching postponed until evening, in
onler, as be claimed, that Mrs. KeUum
might be given an opportunity of seeing
him and giving a final decision as to his
identity. 80 persistently did be prosecute
his endeavors that his actions finally
aroused the opposition of the crowd, and
in a few moments threats against the re
porter were almost as frequent as those
directed against the prisoner.
While Meadows was standing at the
foot of the tree and the rope was being
passed over the limb the reporter, no
longer able to contain himself, made a
last and most eloquent appeal to the vast
crowd, beseeching them again and again,
to at least deter the hanging until noon.
Deaf to his every entreaty, the determined
men about him finally appeared to lose
all patience with the “red-heachd son-of
a-gun,” as one of their number “sired
him op.” A yell to “bang him along
with the nigger 1“ was nest raised. The
dangling end of the rope for an instant
was flourished about the devoted head
piece of the orator, and he was peremp
torily invited to “shnt-up.” He accepted
the inevitable and subsided into a quiet
witness to what immediately followed.
“We all felt mighty bad for awhile
about the way Morion went back on ua
and took np for the nigger/' remarked
the gentleman in concluding bis narrative.
“But we took back all the mean things
we said agin’ him when we lea mod that
the dumed cuts was only talking agin*
time and trying to keep the hanging off
till after the evening papers were out. I
can see his red head a-bobb!ng yet and
bis Jaws a-working, all to make it appear
that he was so awful for law and order.
You can tell him .though, that Pratt miners
forgive him and will be glad to aee him
often .’’ —Birmingham Age.
