More News About this Rich Find Over
in the Philipsburg District.
PHIL1PsBURG, Mont, February 49,
Especial to the Miner. .]-lnquiry among the
old-timers of the camo brings out the fact
that the discovery of gold ores in e.
Frisco is not unexpected by them, as the
gulch below had been prospected for
placer, years ago, and, while good pros
poets were found, better diggings at Hen
derson, Blackfoot, ETC., drew attention
from the possibilities here.
A year ago John Ada rs and F. o. Lin.
forth, connected with the Hope mill, bought
some amalgam gathered below town which
had escaped from the Hope mill. 1t was
sent to the United States assay office in
Helena for sampling. AS the Hope proper.
ties never carried any gold, they were much
surprised as we'll as pleased to get returns
OF S. in gold from their little ball OF ANAL
gam. There is no doubt but the gold was
in the state of fine placer gold.
The old prospectors are OF the opinion
that the Frisco gold is not chute or
chimney OF ore but large cross-vein run.

Granite vein runs into it. In proof OF this
they cite the fact that the tunnel on this
property was run for distance of 200
feet before the vein showed up. Mr..
Holland, the discoverer, has told your
correspondent that when he was driving
this tunnel and had reached about the
place where the gold chute came in, he was
drowned out by great influx of water
from the north. Another reason given is
that on the I. B. lode. which is the old
Aguiila and lies north OF the Frisco about
1000 feet on the contact line, has also
shipped some gold ore that averaged $115
per ton, but it was carefully kept secret
because OF fear OF litigation over their re-
location.
No information OF the inside of the
Frisco can be obtained here. 1t is known,
however, that they are raising great deal
OF ore from the east, and also sending sacks
down into the mine.

Mrs. Friend and Four Companions Arreste
startling Disclosures Threatened.

M Mrs. Friend and Four Companions Arrested
Startling Disclosures Threatened.
ANN ARBoR, Mich, February 1S.-All the
parties interested in the Electric Sugar Re-
filming Co. frauds were arrested at Milan,
last night, the sheriff returning to this city
at about midnight with Mrs. Olive Friend,
VIM. E. Howard, Emily Howard, Gus
Halstead and George Halstead, and placing
them in the county jail, where they are
confined. They were arrested for obtain
Ing money under false pretsnses.
Three indictments have been found
against them by the grand jury OF New
York last January. One issue is for fraud
against the sugar company, and two on
complaint of Lawson Fuller of New York
On these indictments acquisitions were
made on the Governor of Michigan, who
issued warrants for their arrest February
LIST. The trouble has been to get all the
parties within the state at the same time.
Mrs. Friend was in concealmeDt and
Howard was at Windsor yesterday. They
returned to Milan, feeling sure that no
criminal action was to be brought, but
they were arrested as above stated. As it
was late no bail could be obtained and
they remained in jail. Howard threatened
that when they got to New York, there
would be sensation greater than ever
stirred that city.
BELIEVES THE PROCESS GENUINE.
New YORK, February 1S.-Now that the
parties connected with the recent Friend
Electric Sugar concern here have been ar
rested in Michigan, further developments
are promised. Lawson N. Fuller, one OF the
directors OF the company, maintains that
there is no doubt the Friends refining pro.
cess is genuine new discovery, and de-
clares that he will put all these folks in the
penitentiary unless they disclose the pro-
cess.

About Cabinet Selections.
New YORK, February 16.-The "Com-

THE KESSLER-OWEN MILL.

The Fight at Philipsburg Saturday Won
by the Butte Mantle Sheriff Inter-
feres.

Especial to the Miner by the Rocky Noun
tain Telegraph Line. 1.-The fight between
Kessler, OF Butte and Owens, OF Philips.
burg, was a hard-fought contest of ten
rounds, and was finally stopped by the
sheriff.
Kessler had the best of it all through,
and in the eighth round Owens became
groggy and was handled very roughly.
Kessler's principal move, and by which
he won the fight, was to rush upon Owens
and butt him in the stomach with his
head, and then swing his left around, catch.
ing the latter in the face each time.
Owens fought garnily, but Kessler was
too much for him. He cried out, at one
time during the fight, for fair show, and
asked that the referee have Kessler desist
from butting. His face was badly bruised
and his left eye nearly closed. The first
blood and first fall were scored in his favor.

MINING NOTES.
Items About Some of the Mines Near
Woodville and Around Butte.

Woodville and Around Butte.
The York, situated a mile southeast OF
Woodville, is being operated by Morgan &
ICo., who are sinking on the mine
and are now down seventy feet.
This is copper mine OF which
it has three feet OF solid ore. The copper
stain encountered at the water level, the
depth just attained, assays 10 per cent.
and from Z to Is ounces in silver, from
actual assays made yesterday. Morgan q
20. are preparing to get as deep as the
! water will allow with the present hoisting
| apparatus and ascertain with some accu-
| racy the character OF the ore body, when,
| il the results are encouraging, new hosting
works will be erected OF a permanent char
acter and work continued. The strike
made in this mine is encouraging to other
properties in the neighborhood and shows
that the copper country is not confined en-
tirely to the Silver Bow mining district.
McClusky & Co. are putting up 40
horse power hoist on the Big Timber,
about half mile to the north OF Wood
vile. They are only down forty feet and
work had been suspended on account OF
having struck water. The lead at this
depth is four feet wide and assays 20 per
cent; in copper and from 10 to 10 ounces
in silver. Twelve men are employed on
the erection OF the hoist and accompany
ing buildings, and from present appearances
the work of hoisting ore will commence In a
week or ten days.
About lille from the mouth Of Park
Canyon on the south side, Con. Sullivan ls
sinking on his mine with Il pair OF 1O-inch
cylin Ter engines. He has reached the 200
foot level and the character OF the ore Is
both silver and copper.
The Monitor, otherwise known as the
Switzer tunnel in Park Canyon. is now in
about thousand feet, with the work on
it continuing as rapidly as possible, though
no strike of consequence has been reported
of late.
Sinking continues on the White Cloul,
mile southeast OF .Woodville, by a small
hoist with an eights hour shift, but very
hard ground is encountered in this mine
making headway very slow.
Judging by the satisfied look on Fore
man Hensworth's Is face, it is surmised that
a strike of no small Importance has oc-
Cured on the $50 foot level OF the Silver
Bow mine.
Work has been resumed on the Matt
mine, one of the Chambers Syndicate
group.
Sinking continues on the East Grey
Rock under the able management OF Dave
Pokinghorn.
The ears of the Parrot men are atten-
lively listening for the signal to be given by
its whistle blowing for five minutes at noon
the day before work is to be resumed, which
may be heard any day now.
The Ramsdell Parrot is working a small
force and producing as fine copper ore as
any in the district.
All the smelters are working at their full
with the exception Of the Parrot.

Sweeping Train Service Reduction.

ST. LOUIS, February LEONE of the most
sweeping cuts in expenses ever made by the
Gould interest, has just been accomplished.
The method OF economizing applies to the
Missouri Pacific, the Cotton Belt and Iron
Mountain roads. Instead OF having local
trains follow through trains to pick up
local business, through trains are compelled
to do the work. 1t is estimated the Mis-
souri, Pacific reduction in train service
amounts to fully $500 miles per day or a
saving of $40, 900 a month.

Blackjack communicated with the Captain
who wrote to Captain Fritz, Of the Adler
demanding an explanation OF the seizure
and asking that the boat be at once re-
leased.

his consent that the boat be released, and
allowed Moore to land few head OF cattle

that all other than live stock be landed at
the wharf OF the German firm.

plain, in plain terms, whether Germany
had declared war against Samoa, and also

that war had not been declared by Ger
many. Later, Captain Fritz once more
changed his statement and told the Ameri- \
can officer that war had been declared.
