closed down the mine and discharged all
the men. So in number. The Daddy is
one of the principal gold mines on the
north side and has been paying hand
somely the past few months. The cause
OF the shutdown is an injunction suit
brought by H. f. Wolfe and others
owning the Yosemite. an adjoining
claim. 1t is claimed by the owners of
the Yosemite that the Daddy people are
working out Yosemite ore, and one of
the claims made is for 500. 900 damages
for the ore already taken out The re-
straining order was made in tue district
court yesterday, and the men were dis
charged this morning. Surveyors
have been secured to make surveys ;.n,,
plans of the property. The Daddy lodge
is nearer horizontal than vertical. Some
technical questions in miuing law are
likely to be involved, and but little can
be guessed as to the outcome. A new
10-stamp mill was built on the Daddy

Marins II. Randall of st. Paul is ex-

from the Mother lode and there is a
chance that this mine, too, will be a

been spent developing the Idaho, but

Lively Debate in Committee of the Who'll,
Other Bills Passed.

Boise. Idaho, Feb. 25-Both houses OF
the legislature Were busy today, and
much business was transacted. In the

In committee of the whole there was
contest over the bill to amend the
state mine inspector law. During the
discussion an effort was made to amend
so as to abolish the office. Young pop
ulist, of Shoshone, said that the miners
of the Occur dAlene did not want the
office abolished. provided the inspector
could be given the authority proposed
in the Bennett bill. He cited several
instances going to show the necessity
of maintaining the office, naming
among others the last Bunker Hill and
Sullivan accident.
Mine owners too often value tim
bers more highly than they do the lives
of their employees he said.
The effort to abolish the office was
defeated by a vote of IL To 20, and the
Bennett bill, amending the present law.
