The East Granite.

Superintendent John WEIGH, of the East
Granite, in a letter to q Helena gentleman,
saws the shaft on that property is now
down $50 feet, and that a crosscut will be
made at $50 feet. WEIGH also says that the
Sunnyside vein of the Granite Mountain
runs through the East GRANTEES ground.
The Granite Mountain people are just now
taking out som fine ore from the Sunny
side.
Regarding the Sunnyside claim, there
seems to be a great difference OF opinion as
to it's value between East Granite people
and the Granite Mountain officials. In an
official letter to the home office of the
Granite company, at st. Louis. Superin-
tendent Weir states that there are from
three to six inches of high grade ore in the
upraise in No. IL east on the Sunnyside. 1t
was three inches in thickness on the sides
and six inches in the top, and assaved from
800 to 600 ounces. The ore iscoppsr stained
and carries ruby. 1t is said that President
Rumsey, in commenting on the strike,
claimed that it was not important, from the
fact that the value and width OF the ore
increases as they appraised and not as they
sink on it. Had it been made in the Cleve-
land or some of the company's other claims
the president said he would consider 1t a
big thing. As it was there was nothing to
grow excited over just at present.
Commenting on this opinion OF President
huIu6Cv tu6 AudCOl0S 1 . VI
correspondent has this to say:
IF President Rumsey was correctly
quoted, and it is evident that he was, he
has some very queer notions about MIN
ing. The strike in the Sunnyside was
made at a depth of 1,100 feet or therea-
the Granite shaft, which brings the strike
directly west of the New Departure lode,
the property of the East Granite company.
It is barely possible that this may have had
something to do with forming the opinion
of the Granite company people as ex-
pressed bv Mr.. Rumsey that a rich body of
ore found LOO feet below the surface was
almost valueless because it showed signs
of increasing in width and value in the
upraise.
ITO the average miner and also to the
average mining company throughout Mon
the %Sunnysite, if they knew that it reached
from the 1,1O0-foot level to the surface,
would be all they would ask for and a
great deal more than they expect,
and besides it is a well-known and indis-
putable fact hat the richest and most OK
tensive ore bodies found in the Granite
were found above the 8O0-foot mark, and
millions were taken out above the 500. II
was also known that below the 800 foot
level the ore is found in small streaks with
solid granite between. and this is believed
to DO the condition of the lower workings
of the Granite mine to-day, and together
with the somniculous Montana local man
agement it is the principal cause of the
great decline in Granite Mountain stock
If the vein found on the Sunnyside in
creases in width in the upraise as the Gran
ite has done, there are a great many mil
lion dollars between their present working
and daylight, and the heavy East Grant,
stockholders will within two years b.
travelling in Europe and buying foreigl
titles for their daughters"

The Curlew.

The shaft on the Curlew is now down

constructed last year, which was run by water
power. The water was conveyed in a aume
6.0O0 feet long from Big creek, and this
water power is considered the best of its
kind in Montana. The c~oncentrator aver

THE FIRE ALARM TESTED.

The New System Works Very Satisfactorily
to the Firemen.
The Gamewell electric fire alarm svs-
tenn recently purchased by tho city is
now complete. The system was tested
yesterday and found to work satisfac-
torily.
The firemen were notified that the
test would be made, but did not know
the exact time the alarm would be
sounded nor the number of the box from
which it would be sent in. at ten min.
utes past four o'clock Councilman Skin
ker sent in the first alarm from box SID,
corner OF Tenth avenue and Franklin
road. This is nearly mile from the
engine houses. The Juniors were on the
scene in two and three-quarter minutes
after the box was pulled, and the Vigil
lants arrived in three minutes, the Jun.
Tors having little advantage in being
nearer and having moro direct route.
The number Of the box was registered
correctly in both engine houses and the
tower bell sounded the number. The
test was witnessed by Councilmen Skin
ker, Gravcs and WEIGH and Chief Knepp,
of the fire department.
During the afternoon alarms were
sent in from number of boxes in differ
ent parts of the city, and al: of them
worked satisfaciori The firemen
turned out only at the first alarm. The
test Of the system was very satisfactory
to the tiremcn.

EDGAR RINKER LOSES AN ARM.
Crushed to the Elbow by the
Wheels of a Freight Train.
Rinker and j. w. Falls Wore Going Out
Fora Hunt and Took n Ride OH II Pass
Ing Freight-FnIls Makes u Safe Jump.
Rinker Not so Quick Falls with His
Arm Under the Wheels.

Edgar E. Rinker, who lives at 431 Kim
ball avenue N. e., met with terrible
accident yesterday which resulted in the
loss of his left arm.
Rinker is q young man about 25 years
OF age and splendid physique. lie lives
with his father and both men have been
working in the planning mill OF the Roa.
noke Machine Works ever since they
moved from Hagerstown, about three
years ago.
Shortly after 5 o'clock this morning
young Rinker and J.. w. Falls, decided
to go hunting near Houston, in Bote-
tourt county. They boarded Buena
Vista freight near the stock yards, and
got down in the bottom OF a coal hopper.
Both men had their guns with them
Just after crossing bridge No. 251, a
short distance this side Of Houston,
Falls got up on the side Of car, and
making leap, landed on the ground all
right Rinker was slow about getting
off, and before he could jump the train
had entered a cut Instead of waiting
till he passed through, he sprang out on
the north side of the cut. The train
had started up livelier after passing the
trestle, and the sudden jerk threw Rim
ker entirely around. He lighted on his
side OH the bank and rolled down to tho
track. His left arm was thrown upon
the track, and the wheels of one truck
passed over his forearm, starting with
the two outside fingers and following up
to the elbow, grinding the arm to pulp.
Before another truck came along Rinker
rolled over on his side, where he lay till
the train passed.
Falls rushed to the assistance of his
companion, thinking he had boon
ground to pieces. He tried to lift him
up but failad and called for the assls-
lance OF young man who happened to
be passing. Together they succeeded in
getting the wounded man out Of tho
cut, and laid him on bank
Just then south bound freight came
along, and seeing the trouble stopped
and took Falls and the wounded man in
the cabin car and brought them to Roa-
noke.
Arriving at the depot Rinker was
placed on stretched and carried to the
Office of DR.. Gale, who with the assis-
lance Of DR.. Koincr, amputated the
arm near tho shoulder. He was then
carried to his home in East Roanoke.
Falls says the accident was wholly
due to carelessness on their part. They
paid nothing for the ride and did not
let the trainmen know they we're on.
He is much worried over the affair
Alta late hour last night Rinker was
doing as well as could be ted
under the circumstances.

a coMMoTIoS CAUSED by a TRUNK.

The Foul Stencil Caused by Wet Clothes
and Decaying Chicken Feathers.
trunk which had been uncalled for
for several days, caused commotion in
the baggage room at the Union depot
yesterday morning. The stencil arising
from it was not unlike that OF human
body. The trunk looked mysterious
enough, and the baggagemaster at onco
came TO the conclusion that an iuvesti-
CATION was necessary. Chief Morris be-
ing notified, took Officer Wolfe along
and broke open the trunk Around the
sides were packed a quantity OF wet
negro clothes, and in the center was
bag of chicken feathers, which had be-
gan to rot, causing the foul smell. The
contents OF the trunk were hauled away
and the mystery cleared.
