GROUSE MOUNTAIN MINES.
"A Section OF Missoula County Which j

A Section OF MissoulR County Which Is
Attracting Capital.
Mineral developments Of considerable
importance have been made in the Grouse
mountain district, in Missoula county, this
year. Prospectors worked for over two years
in that section before anything of a mate
rial nature turned up, but during the last
year capitalists have sent in their experts
and at present a strong company is devsl-
oping the camp. A. B. Ralston, a we'll
known mining man, recently visited that
section in the interest of an English syndi-
cate. To q Spokane Review reporter he
gives his opinion of the county and tells of
some Of the mines as follows; II consider
Grouse mountain one Of the finest camps.
considering tho amount Of development
work done, that ! have ever visited. The
principal claims OF this district are the
Diamond Hitch, New Chicago, Black Bear,
Wal Eagle and the claims known as the
Big Eight.
s'The Diamond Hitch is in a porphyry
sunk eighteen feet. The work was lone al
most entirely with a pick and shovel. I
never saw such a quantity of rich ore taken
from q property without the aid of more
than two sticks of giant powder, in my life
except in placer diggings.
= cross-cut OF thlrty-hve feet has also
been made. The ledge carries mineral all
through. and the following is the result of
q test: 1t averages fifteen ounces silver,
18 Der csnt. eopper n 60 per cent. lead.
Ore from he bottom Of the shaft runs
twenty ounces silver, q per cent. copper
END As per cent. lead.
The claims of the Big Eight are devel-
Oped by two tunnels, one 160 and the other
14D feet in length. This property has been
bonded for $4,000 and about $4,000 in de-
velcpnsnt work has been done. The ore
pile is thirty five feet long, five feet high
and ten feet wide. 1t assays twenty-seven
ounces silver nj 65 per cent lead.
"On the Callahan Creek Mining com-
pany's claims three men are working. A
shaft is being sunk thirty feet. The ledge
is three feet wide. It runs ITO ounces silver,
20 per cent lead. s. gold and a trace Of
copper.

adjoining the Callahan Creek oompany's
property is'the Silver Tim. In doing assess

Twelve Barges Upset in the Hudson Near
Haverstraw.
New YORK. Dec. 4.-The Tribune's Haver-
straw dispatch says: Twelve barges loaded
with brick, towed by the Cornell Towing
oompany's steamboat Townsend, coming
down the Hudson, when opposite Croton
Point, were upset about nine o'clock this
evening and about twenty persons drowned.
When at Croton Point the swash of tho
river was 80 great that the tug was COM
PEELED toround to, thus forcing the barpes
to ride each other. Being loaded
and the tide washing high they imme-
d'ately upset. There were sixty men
on the twelve barges and only about thirty
bave come to shore. The accident is at
tributed by many to the carelessnsss Of the
pilot OF the tug. w. G. Curran. boatman
on the barge Louise, just arrived from his
swim ashore, saya: "We were playing a
concertina in the cabin at the time of the
accident. | ran on deck. only to SEQ one
scow run on top Of another, The boats
did not sink but toppled over. Upon each
barge were five men, making sixty in all.
or these only about thirty have come
ashore"

Seven More Injured, Some
Uato Death.

ST.. PAuI, Dec. 4.-Eight instantly killed,
three fatally injured and four severely Out
and bruised, ia the record which can to a
large extent be credited to the blizzard'e
advent in this city to-day. Avail, already
weakened by having tho supports burned
away, became top heavy when supporting
debris was removed from against it. and
went over with = crash before tho gale with
tho result stated. Fifteen men we're work
ing close to the center of tho wall in the
burned out Shepard building. on East Third
street. when the wall, without warning,
crashed down on them, burying them be-
meath the ruins, and killing or stunning
all. Not n escaped. and all were 10 tor
ribly mashed and manRled that it is with
much difficulty they are identified. The
list of killed is as follows: Edward Wilcox,
contractor; John Adamski. Chas. Katr,tski.
John Kolfski, Frank Sewel. Charles Klies,
Frank Marks, Peter Larson. The fatally
injured are, Frank Teshlor, Henry Murphy,
John Maurer. The injured are, Frank
Dipeter, Thomas Morter, Mike McNamara,
Stephen Rhodes.
1t was the most terrible accident that |
ever occurred in st. Paul. All patrol wag-
ons in the city wore at once summoned, and
the police attempted to organize the labor
ers who were not under the wall aud get
them to work removing the dead and in
jured. The men were wild with excitement,
however, and it was q long time before
more than a half dozen could be induced to
to work. In less than half an hour the
men had taken out ten companions. five of
whom were killed and five injured fatally.
Wilcox was taken out dead and
IN angled beyond recognition. The wounded
were removed to the city hospital and the
dead. with the exception of one man, laid
out in the Great Northern freight house.
Lauer, foreman of the gang about the
building, was frantic with grief and excite
ment and could not give the names of any
of the men. though he knew them all.
could he tell the number of men
under the wall at the time it fell. The wall

about the base caused it to tumble. Most

BADLY mangled, but evidently. had been
killed by bricks falling on their heads.
There were no groans or cries from the
INJURED as the poor fellows were extricated
rom the ruins by their fellow workmen.
Not one had retained consciousness. The
most careful handling possible seemed to be
torture most horrible, for the rescuers were
,ntset and did not work together az they
lid after. In their ~disconoerted efforts they
'eemed at times to be pulling the men
almost to pieces. The faces of the work
non were almost as CHASTITY as if they had

#aA. M. Hotter, s. 4. Hauser and A. NJ. Esler
arc Interested, bonded or purchased The
Dandy claim, on Toad mountain, in the
Kootenai lake country, British Columbia.
MI. Hotter visited the property before OPP
e~fations were commenced and on his return
expressed himself as pleased with the out
look Of tho country a. q mineral producer.
Later "A. NJ. Esler began to develop the
property. going about it in the business
like way for which Montana men are noted
In carrying on mining operations. As de-
velopment has progressed the property has
looked better and better. and Mr.. Esler
once expressed the opinion that the Dandy
looked like a mine. In q recent issue the
Nelson Miner has this to say about the
latest developments in the property: The
cross-cut tunnel on the Dandy has out
what is supposed to be the main ledge.
II il full three feet wide, the orc
being very free from gangue
and of i better grade than that in the
bottom Of the shaft. The ore or the hang
ing-wall carries considerable lead, while
that on tho foo.-wall is mainly copper. The
foot-wall is we'll defined. BY approximate
measurements, the tunnel is at least 100
feet below the bottom Of the shaft, that is
Nv the dip Of the vein. Drifts are Q be-
ing run both ways from the tunnel. When
asked his opinion of the strike, Superin-
tendent Ray, who, by the way is not a
.boomer,'' replied: II consider we have
something pretty good" This strike means
much for Nelson and the whole Kootenai
Lake country. II means that the 'I-guess-
we-haye-minss'' days are drawing to an
end, to be followed BY years Of mining
operations that will not only prove that we
have mines but some of them the greatest
