Pioneer Press: Mr.. r. G.. Merrill, ot
he mining property firm of Merrill &
Ingals, Helena, Mont, who has had a
quarter Of century's experience in
Montana mining, is i'm the city, and was
interviewed last night by Pioneer
Press reporter. He said he had been al
Rathdrum three weeks ago, and had
now a couple Of experienced miners at
work in the C9ur d'Alene mines. They
report that the prospects Of the placer
mines for the coming year are the best
ever known. Seventy miles Of gnlches
had been prospected, and wherever
prospecting had been done gold had
been found. The gold itself was of a
character that always indicates extens-
i've deposits. 1t was mostly coarse
shot" and worn smooth, which always
indicates extensive deposits, especially
where the gulches were not steep, as
was the case ut Cpur dAlene. He be-
lieved these placer claims would prove
richer than the celebrated Alder Creek
the richest placer mines ever had in
Montana, and which produced $i5, ,O0O,.
900 in three years. He would estimate
the output from the Gear d'Alene camp
from the middle Of April next at 1000
ounces, or $4,000, q day. These mines
were attracting great deal Of attention
in Montana. Hundreds Of old miners
whose friends had been out, prospected,
and found the field good-were going
out every day. These are the kind of
men who will get the gold out if it is
there, and who know it is there, or they
would not be going His own firm in
tended to open branch assay Office at
Eagle City for the transaction ofgeneral
business with the mines for this season.
Their Office would be in operation by
the lst of April. While visiting the
new mines he had seen Sll taken from
two pans Of dirt from the surface of
lead and the claim was sold Immediate
ly 10 San Francisco firm for $S0,000
cash. Referring to Prof Ticrnan's re
port, he said he didn't believe the pro-
fessor had ever seen placer mine.
Where a paying streak was found in
placer mining it was continuous, and
not in pockets.

for assistance was read, and they formed
in this way plan Of escape, which Was
successfully carried out.
Another case Of much the same nature
occurred in Southern state, where bar
barism still exists in the shape Of jails
that are mere cages, open to view like
the cages ofthe middle ages. A desolute,
wandering te!egrapher was confined
like wild beast in one Of these cages
He wrote his appeal for friendly inter
ven;ion, using the bars as sounder.
An operator heard him. bribed the Jail
er, and assisted his fellow craftsman to
liberty and more distant locality.

fall the fool tricks, that performed
by three prominent young Cleveland
men last week was the mos. supreme
Ed Collins, John Degnan and Will
Brown were rounding up the leading
bar-room ut 2 O'Clock in the morning
when each dared the other to 90 to the
lake and plunge in. Each backed his
dare by bet Of 800. They hired a
hack, went to the lake, crept out on the
ice quarter Of a mile, stripped off their
clothes, and one after another actually
jumped into the icy water. AS each
leaped into the water he grasped rope
the other end Of which was held by
George Doan, a prominent restanranter
As all made the dive none lost or won
anything. 1t is stated that the effect:
are serious upon Brown, who is now in
bed, and he may lose his life. The
others are around, anil still have fond
ness for cold water.
