TOOK WATCHES AND MONEY.
Burglars Enter the Rooms of Lodgers in
the Cans Block.

Burglars Enter the Rooms of Lodgers in
the Cans Block.
There was considerable excitement in the
Cans block on Clarke street about four
O'Clock yesterday morning. Shots were
fred in the air and shouts of murder
aroused everybody in the house and Others
in the neighborhood. The excitement was
caused by the attempt of burglars to rob
one inmate Of the block after having robbed
two other gentlemen. When the robbers
got to the room of S. j. Steever, superin-
tendent of the Helena water works, they
met with a vigorous resistance. That gen
tleman fought with the men until his loud
o~utcries aroused the people in the house
and scared the men away Several shots
were fired after them by Mr.. Steever. The
men got into the rooms of Harry Saoher,
clerk with GREENWOOD, BONN q Co., and
John Hunter, bookkeeper with F. S. Lang
g. Co., and secured two gold watches and
about $40 in money. Mr.. Steever slept
with his vest, containing considerable
money and a gold watch, under his pillow.
The robbers made a desperate attempt to
get this, but its owner hung on to it while
beating off the men. The police arrested
a man named John Sullivan, on the de-
scription given, and 1t is thought he is one
of the men who committed the robbery.

Deer d Mines.


The Combination Milling and Mining
company, which closed down last December
and resumed operations early this spring,
have about sixty men employed. This en-
terprising company has about thirty claims
in this vicinity. They have sunk a new
shaft 200 feet deep, have run 500 feet of
work reveals ore of good quality. The COM
pany have now about 800, 600 tons OF good
grade ore in sight. They are now adding
ten stamps to their mill, which. when COM
plsted, will increase the crushing capacity
of this plant to sixty-seven tons in twenty
four hours, and will require over 200 men
for the work of both mine and mill. Two
new ore houses have been built this summer,
one at the mine with a capacity of 800 tons
and one at the mill of 900 tons. When
operations are in full bias. the era of pros
perity will exceed the most sanguine expec-
tatlons of a year ago.
There are now about sixty men at work
on the promising mines of the Zosel dis
trict. All the claim owne.s are enthusiastic
over their properties, ana if good veins of
ore and 1atterinG ASSAYS are to be accred-
tied this mining district in the near future
will bring fortunes and great prosperity to
many of our worthy townsmen and wealth
to our community. The vein in the Argus
looks well and contains some galena. The
Hidden Hand has sixty sacks of high-grade
ore ready for shipment. Its neighbor, the
Emma Darling, has a tunnel over 200 feet
long. following a we'll defined vein. growing
richer as the work progresses. The recent
appearance of gaiena in tho Emma Darling
is very encouraging to its owners, Messrs.
Beaumont and George Bootheroid. The
Carbonate extension at its present depth of
about $50 feet is allowing a quality of ore
very like the Emery. The Emery is taking
out an average of eight or nine tons of ore
q day, which tho Larson brothers are haul
