He Has Tried in Vain to Get Them From,
Helena.
Edison Jacobs, a dentist at Spokane. is
subjected to enforced idleness on account
of the lack of forceps and other appliances
common to the profession, says q Spokane
exchange. Pat Calvin, chief Of the Helena
police, is believed at the present moment to
have the instruments in his possession, and
Jacobs is bordering whether or no Calvin
has started dental parlors for the exclusive
use of the Helena police force. Several
months ago a young man by the name of
A. &. Froom, an acquaintance of Jacobs,
borrowed the latter's instrumeu to for a few
days to do some work. The days developed
into weeks and Froom was still an absen-
tee. Jacobs became wearled and told hls
story to the police. Froom was tracked to
Helena, and the dental tools taken from
him by the authorities.
Jacobs did not desire to prosecute Froom.
and the latter was set at liberty. Then
followed a series of telegrsms between
Chief Calvin and Jacobs about the instru-
ments.
"Tve got them. Do you want them?'
came flashing over the wires from Helena.
'Of course I want them. Tooth pulling
business stagnatinR without them," went
flashing back III response.
Shall l send them by express, or howl"
wired the chief from Helena.
Send the molar forceps by express and
the bicusped forcsps any way you choose"
responded the aggravated dentist. Still
they came not and Jacobs has about con-
Guided to quit the business altogether and
exchange places with Chief Calvin, of

CLARK'S FORK N

HeportedaF Il of Mineral Similar to That
In the Coeur d'Alsnes.
Reports have been received in Helena o.

The discovery was made on the Homestake
mi xextensiono of the Eldorado. A vein OF
ledge matter twenty-seven feet wide carry.
ing two and one-half feet Of solid galena
has been struck in the shaft now being
lunk on the property. The ore is rich,
assayinR from fair samples seventy ounces
Of silver and 70 per cent. Of lead to the ton.
The discovery Was made by Joseph Ed

com and John +. Ninton. The Homestake
ID IN tf1e Cabinet mountain range and is an
extension of the Eidorado mine. The
Cabinet mountain range is we'll known as a
mining region, and is about sixty miles
north q the famous Ceur d'Alene mines.
Tbs. EldoEado il on Antelope mountain
and u owned by the Cabinet Mountain
Mining company Of Spokane. This COM

oped. The Eldorado is said to lie a true
assure veinyand outs the Antelope mount
ain 81 its highest point. The surface show
ing 10 said to be identical with the large
producing mines of the Ceur d'Alenes. and
there il NO doubt of the continuity of the
lode.
The Eldorado vein is almost six feet wide
and assays as high as ninety-six ounces of
silver to the ton. A fair average assay
gives the value of tho ore as seventy-four
ounces OF silver and As per cent of lead to
the ton. The similarity of the formation
TO the Occur d'Alene mines has led old
miners to believe that the ore will increase
in value as depth is reached.

4 Castle Mine That Gives Promise OF
Being a Bonanza.
The new strike on the Jumbo is proving
to be the greatest one OF the season, saws
the Castle Reporter. The finding of big
boulders of high grade carbonate ore in the
water ditch which is being dug across the
Jumbo property led to a crosscut being
made along the line of the contact, and it
has discovered a tine body Of rich Qrav car.
Donate ore min feet long and three feet
wide which appears to DO in place and solid.
A shaft has been uni to a depth of twelve
feet and every indication goes to show that
1t is an ore shoot from the bowels of mother
earth, Mr.. Stewart, the foreman. and one
OF the best miners in the camp, is sure that
it is permanent and that it goes down deer.
In another place on the same contact, $50
feet away, they are running u tunnel and
have found the Same ore there, indicating
that the ore ia an immense body. Work ia
being pushed with energy and it will not be
long until they know pretty we'll what thew
have. The Cumberland Development com
pany have an option on a controlling inter
est in this property which expires on Nov. /.
and it looks now as though by that time
they would prove it one OF the big mines of
Castle.
