HIS STOCK STOLEN.
An Elderly Lottery Agent Robbed on
California Street.

An elderly man, who obtains his lveli-
hood by selling lottery tickets. startled
the occupants of the building at 100 Cali
fornia street Monday morning by scream
ing at the top of his voice. Those who
heard him with his high-pitched squeaky
voice were OF the opinion. almost to man,
that Monday was in dire distress and
rushed to the rescue. They found the old
man In the upper hallway, walkingup and
down. wringing his hands and alterna tely
screaming and moaning. He stated that
ne had brought two young men up into
the hallway for the purrose Of selling them
each lottery ticket. They had no sooner
looked at his tickets than one OF the young
men pushed him over backward, while the
other seized the entire stock of lottery tick
cts and ran away. The old man could not
apply TO The police for assistance. owing
TO the Illicit business in which he was en-
gagged, and he was deriving satisfaction in
moaning and screaming over his.loss. In
the package Of tickets stolen were twenty
two full tickets, fifty halves and twice as
many Quarters,

Joseph Macdonough Successfully Re'
pudiates an Alleged Contract.

Joseph Macd0nOugh successfully nc
pudiates an Alleged Contract.
Judge Hunt nonsuited j. K. Tobln yes
terday in his claim against Joseph Mac
donough for breach of contract.
Marlborough is wealthy capltallst ana
is proprietor Of the Macdonough Iheater,
Oakland. To5in claimed that when Mac
donough started to build his theaisr he
had made arrangements for taking bids
for plastering. Tobin is plasterer. and
claimed to have come to veroal agree
ment with Macdonough to DO all the
plastering work on the theater Tor $4,000.
Afterward. he said, Macdonough mad re-
pu0iated the contract. and ne DrouSht suit
to recover $500 damages and value OF ma
terials supplied.
The case was argued at some lenglh De-
fore jury. Evidence was taken, and
then counsel for the defense moved Tor
nonsult. The grounds were that there
was no contract in writing. ana therefore
no one could determine what the contract
was: also that there was no understanding
IS TO when Tobn's work was To begin and
when 1t was 10 leave off.
These contentious were upheld by Judge
Hunt, who held that the whole affair was
so vague that it was difficult to under
stand what sort of contract had been made.
Anyway. he was satisfied that the plain
tilt had not made out a case, and he would
accordingly direct nonsuit to be entered.

The Flagstaff, though located nearly five
years age, has never attained much prom
inence, from the fact that until within the
last yenr very little work has been done,
says the Belt Mountain Miner. The prop
erty was located in 1888 by VIM. Mueller
and John Lind. and is developed by q tun-
mel that is now in 240 feet; a winze has been
suuk seventy feet. connecting with u Lowell
which has been opened up for a distance Of
140 feet. There is no point in all their
working where they have not had good ore.
They ara now stopping on the owe level
and have on the dump and in the ore house
two carloads of high grade ore which will
be shipped TO thu Great Falls smelters in a
few days. Tho Moulton joins this property
on the east. and at one time had q lease on
1t, sunk a shaft and lone other develop
mens work. but for some reason or other
the lease was never taken up. Considera-
BILE money has been spent in development
work by its owners. but il is now an assured
fact that they are in a fair way to get re-
turns on all they have invested. besides a
good dividend from each car shipped. a
small fore Of mon are employed. and until
machinery is pus in place there Is no room
for q large force. The Flagstaff is destined
to be one OF the bonanzas OF the Belt
mountains.

The Washington mine is said to be sim

is forty inches of solid blue galena and the

A short time ago q tunnel was started on

the ledge much deeper than the present sur

the east extension of the Dardanelles. a
mine that has become somewhat famous for
its rich ore.

SUMMIT VALLEY DISTRICT.

With the Starting of the Anaconda Prop
critics Business Brightens Up.
The streets Of Butte are resaining their
old-time appearance before the shutdown
OF the Anaconda properties, and Summit
Valley mining district is once moro itself
again. The great copper PRODUCERS are
again in active operation and the hoists Of
all these properties are thronQed with anx-
lous and expectant miners in search Of
work. The hotels of tins city have been
crowded during the past few days with new
arrivals. most of whom ara miners. The
recent reduction Of wages at some of the
mines in Utah has driven a great many of
the former miners of Tintic and Eureka
to Butte, while the shutdown at the Bunker
Hill d Sullivan and other properties in the
Occur dAlenes has caused @ stampedo from
that locality. In the selection OF employee,
however, all the old hands receive tie PIE
ference in Butte.
Inc greatest number of miners employed
by the Anaconda and Syndicate mines in
times past has been varIously estimated at
from between /, 100 and 1900. At least tho
latter numbe will be employed during the
present year. Ihe Anaconda shaft is down
l,2O0 feet, but sinking will shortly be re-
sumed and the ehaft developed to the !. 300
foot level. While this work is in progress
1t 10 possible that only one cage will be
used for h~oisting ore.
At the High Ore mine, Superintendent
Otarrell has during the suspension Of
work piaced this prol erty in as good u con
dition as the Others of the company. The
High Ore has gained the reputation Of pro
duoing more ore than any other mine in tht
district. taking the number of mon GIN
rloyed and the ca gaclty of tho hosting en-
CINE into consideration.
The Park Cannon district is almost de
serted by mining mon. but those who owl
CLAIMS there are Just rs enthusiastic as eve
az TO the ichness of tho ground.
