Alexander Wombie, the San
Francisco mining expert has come in
from Silver Mountain in Boise county
where he had been sent by English
capitalists to pass final judgment up
on the valueless hole in the ground
which several years ago the notorious
Matt Graham ''sajted" so artistically
that British company eagerly
wasted over $1,000, 900 upon it.
After a critical inspection OF the
bogus mine Wombie decided that the
property was absolutely worthless.
Not single, pay streak could be
found: nothing but barren country
rock, through which for thousands OF
feet shafts and tunnels had been
driven by the hopeful adners. The
splendid mining and milling machin-
cry, the original cost of which ran
,, away up into the hundreds OF
thousands, and the transportation OF
which into that almost inaccessible
- country cost a generous fortune.
Mr.. Womble will now proceed to
Il England and report to the victimized
Il company, who will then decide wha

The Silver Mountain swindle, whil'
it greatly benefited Matt Graham
!" resulted disastrously for Idaho

Idaho Mining Suit Decided.

In the United States Circuit Court
Tuesday the suit of the DeLamar
Mining Company against the Howe
Manhattan Mining Company was upon
motion Of the plaintiff dismissed.
This action gives the defendants
clear title to the Howe lode IN inc
famous DeLamar mining districts in
Owyhee county, the property being
valued at more than half million.
B. b. Howe of Silver City located the
valuable lode, but year ago, when
he sought to obtain Government
patent for the claim, the DeLamar
Company filed an adverse claim in the
Boise Land Office, alleging that the
Howe lode was theirs and that its
true name was the Gold Button lode.
The local Land Office decided against
the DeLamar, Company for the reason
that the plat of the disputed ground
which they fled WIN uhe auVerse
claim had not been prepared by the
i United States Mineral Surveyor, and
e that the plaintiffs violated plain rule
of the Land Office regarding the limit
n of time in bringing the suit in the
Federal Court upon the adverse
claim. The General Land Office
sustained the local Land Office anc

fight. The Howe Manhattan Com
