Alleged Discoveries ON Which the Recent

Alleged Discoveries ON Which the Recent
Rise of the Stock is Based.
PHnIpsBuRG, January 31.-[To tie Edi.
tor Of tine Miner. 1.-The following are given
out here al the facts on which the recent
rise in the stock Of the San Francisco Con.
is based: Togo back short while in the
history of the mine, it may be stated that
as depth was attained the ore decreased in
value from i27 ounces Of silver on topic 30
ounces, which is low grade for that mine,
and, as aconsequence, tbestocs deprecated
to a low figure. Work. however, was
continued in the hope that a find would be
made. Sinking progressed and explora-
tions were begun in the several levels. On
the 300 four foot vein was met, which at
first assayed 80 ounces OF silver. From
there they sunk to the 400 level, crosscut
to the vein and drifted east and west for
some distance. In the west DRIFT some
sixty feet in, q large ore shoot was met, the
body beipg between SO and 90 feet
between the walls. An assay OF
this body showed 35 ounces oil
silver and 15 per cent. lead.
When the 500 level was reached, short
crosscut was made and the vein struck.
The same large ore body that had been
encountered in the upper levels was dis
covered here. But the grade was lower
showing only 10 ounces OF silver and 10
per cent. lead. Another 60 feet OF shaft
was sunk and then sinking was abandoned
and explorations continued, the evident
determination being to find ore that would
justify expensive working or shut down.
Last week new employe in the person
of a shift boss, who had worked
in several OF the mines in the vicinity and
was familiar with the ore, entered upon his
duties. The man had hardly got to work
and noticed the character OF the rock, be-
fore he suggested to Superintendent Smith
that it be assayed for gold, it being similar
in character to the Cable gold ore, but had
never been previously assayed for the
precious metal. The advice was acted up
on and the first assay made from chance
piece from the 500 level showed 6 "a 100
OF gold. 10 OF. silver, and 15 per cent. lead
The large ore body in the 400 was next
chosen and a sample 25 feet in length takeu
from it showed $40 in gold, 20 OF. in sill
yer, and Is per cent. lead. The third and
last assay made Tuesday was from the
500 foot level where the pay streak is four
feet thick. 1t assayed 10 oz or $3.50 in
gold, 19 OF. silver and 15 per cent. lead.
There are thousands of tons of ore
in sight and the management is
certain that the bonanza day of the San
Francisco Con- has been reached, and that
arrangements will be at once made for the
erection of O mill. Messrs. Patten, Holland
ct al, the former owners Of the mine, state
that in the early days they found gold to
the extent of six or seven dollars per ton,
and had lately decided that it existed in
larger quantities as depth was attained.
So sure were they of this that they
had assays OF rock, quietly secured, made,
and were arranging for a syndicate
OF Montana men to get control o. the de-
preciated stock when this gold strike was
made which put an end to the schere.

COMMANDER B. F. DAY, of the United
States navy, who has recently returned
from a cruise in the South Pacific, has
been interviewed at Cleveland in regard
to Samoan affairs. He went there in
May, 1886, in the U. s. steamer Mohican
about the time Tamasese set up rebellion
against Malietoa. He says the trouble
could have been settled at that time but
for the interference of the Germans. He
declares that Samoa is not an autonomy
but a protectorate, and is so considered
by the Germans. His idea of the situa-
tion now is that "there is going to be a
very serious complication" The Ger
mans supply Tamasese with guns and
ammunition, and, in his opinion, the
way to prevent the Germans getting full
control would be to send Malietoa a good
supply Of arms and ammunition, and
with these he could hold his own against
any force the Germans could bring
against him for long time.

THE TIN-ROOFING DISPUTE.
The Defendant Carries His Point That the
Plaintiffs Bill Was an Overcharge.

The Defendant Carries His Point That the
Plaintiffs Bill Was an Overcharge.
Justice Hopkins reached conclusion
yesterday in the c and X tin plate dis.
pute between Blume and McRae He gave
judgment in favor OF the plaintiff for
$29.19, which is on the basis of the | C or
or lower priced article OF tin. The plaintiff
sued for balance OF $43.S5 on the basis
OF $50 feet OF roofing surface, at the price
OF x tia. There was nothing sail be.
tween the parties in the tinstore about any
quality shown being K. The defendant
was simply shown two kinds, one thicker
than the other. This the plaintiff ad.
mitted had come to him in | C boxes but
had been culled by him. Therefore the
Justice held it was not X. In the manu-
iacture OF these goods the thickness of the
better grade must be up to standard and
anything less than that standard is classed
IN the lower grade. Consequently, although
the testimony showed that some OF the
sheets used in roofing MeRae's house were
above the standard OF l C tin, there was
nothing to show that it was up to the
standard oil X.
There was q difference in the amount of
roofing surface. The plaintiff had over
estimated this and the defendant had un-
derestimated it. He had made a tender OF
$2S in settlement of the debt and this was
$l.l9 less than the amount the Justice
computed to be due. But for this he would
not have had to pay the costs. The judg-
ment rendered was $14.65 less than the
amount claimed by the plaintiff. which will
not cover the costs OF the defendant, but he
has the barren satisfaction OF having sub.
stautially won his case.

Particulars of One of the Promising Pros
poets of Deer Lodge County.
Some particulars were learned yesterday
concerning the Mountain Lion, one of the
most promising prospects in the Oro Fino
mining district, situated twelve miles
southeast of Deer Lodge. The tunnel is In
465 feet and has cut series of rich ore
chutes. The face OF the tunnel has not yet
attained depth Of more than 125 feet
from the surface. South OF the vein in a
winze sunk in the tunnel to depth of nine
feet, and about sixty-tive feet below the
surface, there are ten inches of solid sulphide
ore which assays 155 ounces silver and
$12 in gold. Work was started up last
week. The grading necessary for the new
hoist TO be erected Immediately is COM
pleted and sinking will be commenced by
the middle OF next week. The hoisting ma.
chinery will be in place by the Goth instant
with the assistance OF which it is expected
the shaft will be sunk 200 feet by the first
OF May. The shaft will be a two-compart.
ment one, and will be sunk in porphyry
formation. The present management have
ample funds to develop The property, and
expect to make it one of the best mines in
the Territory.

TWO ACCIDENTS.
Both Occasionedibyi Falling From Load
of Who'd

Yesterday morning Jack Brady, o wood
hauler for George Casey, was driving
sleigh loaded with wood on GaIena street
west OF Main. The sleigh swung round and
threatened to oyerturn, so he jumped Oh
and lit on his shoulder breaking HE collar
bone. He was taken to his home back of
the Hallway house on Arizona street.
As Mr.. Smith, a partner of Jackson the
wood dealer, was driving q wagon with a
load OF wood on it down Main street at
half-past o'clock Thursday evening, one
OF the horses fell opposite the Butte Bakery.
In it's efforts to rise it ierked the lines from
Mr.. Smith who was on the wagon, and he
stopped to reach down for the reins. Just
then an explosion of frecrackers from the
Chinese Qurter went off with their usual
and scared the team which
jerked the wagon forward and threw Mr..
Smith off. He fell under one OF the for
ward wheels and was dragged along in front
OF it for some distance, it finally running
over him. He was badly hurt and was
removed to his home suffering severely.
Grave apprehensions were entertained for
his life at first. but, though not out OF dan.
ger, he was resting u little easier yesterday.
