Another Good Move.

Beginning August LIST the Illinois
Central will add a new solid fast
yestibule day train to its Chicago-St.
Louis service, which will make the
run between the two cities in eight
and half hours. 1t will be known
as the Daylight Special" and will
leave Chicago at l0;35 a. m, arriving
at st. Louis ut :04 p. M; returning,
leaving st. Louis Mt SIP a. IN. and
arriving at Chicago ut 300 p. m. 1t
will carry a free reclining chair car
and an elegant Pullman combination
parlor and buffet car. This in adj
dtion to the regular night train, the
Diamond Special, with its free re-
Ginning chair car, It's elegant Pull
man full compartment sleeping car
and Pullman combination sleeping
ear containing buffet, state rooms
and open sections, which will con-
tinue to leave Chicago at 300 p. m,
arriving at st. Louis 7:24 a. M; re-
turning, leaving st. Louis at $40 a.
m- and arriving at Chicago at 4 30
d. in.
These trains will, in every sense
be solid through trains of the ILL
Aols Central railroad for the entire
distance between Chicago and 1T.
Louis, but they will both run via the
aew route from Pana to st. Louis,
i,.e., over the tracks Of the Big -Four
route, the line between Chicago and
Pana being over the Illinois Central

physicians who have long list of bills

Physicians who have long list of bills
owing to them by patients should take
a lesson from the new leaf some French
doctors have turned over. In the depart
meut of Herault the physicians are
Joining in pledge that they will not
attend any patients who are able to pay
and will not do so. To protect them
selves each doctor makes list of his
own particular deadbeat patients. The
lists are collected and printed in book
called the BLACK Book. . All any ply
stefan has to do when he receives an I'M
known case will be to consult his black
book and dismiss the dishonest person
without treatment Even when they take
refuge in charity dispensaries the names
Of the deadbeats will still stand against
them, and their only recourse will be to
change their names. That cannot easily
be done in France, where the registra-
ton Of vital statistics is more exact
than anywhere else in the world. On
the whole, it looks as if under this sys-
tenn physicians would not annually lose
from half to one-third of the money
that is justly owing to them.

LEssEEs WORKING THE ALICE.

This Magnificent Property Being
Worked by chIoriders.
The Alice mine, at Walkerville,
Mont, which is largely owned by the
Walker Bros. of this city, is now being
worked by lessees. Concerning the
manipulation of this property, the
Butte Inter-Mountain says:
There is considerable activity around
the Alice properties in Walkerville. al
though none of the mines are being
operated by the company. After the
decline in silver the big mills and all
OF the mines were closed down, to be
opened some time later by colony Of
lessees. About fifty miners are now
employed on the tribute system, but
there are a number of others who are
working for wages under the leasers
and a few are working for the COM
pany. The Alice, Magma Charta, Val
demere and Blue Wing are all busy.
while several of the smaller fractions
give employment to a few leasers. The
Alice is being operated very much the
same as when the company conducted
operations on days pay. On nearly
every level above the 1000 groups Of
leasers are engaged in taking out ore
and are all making days pay on an
average. The shaft is 1900 feet deep,
but the lower 500 feet is not being
worked.
On the Valdemere ABOUT a. dozen men
are working in pairs, following the mar
row silver leads through the old cuts
and caves on what was originally the
Valdemere drift. There are about six
different lessees and sub-lessees on this
lode. The ore assays from IA to 20
ounces in silver and about So in gold.
Situated as the mine is within stones
throw Of the railroad, the transporta-
ton charges are very light, and even
this low grade ore pays to work. The
company, however, makes no profit
and is satisfied if at the end of the
year the books balance. Among the
lessees on the Valdemere are Arthur
Broughton, Fred Bruley, Steve Thorn
as, j. Holmes, ]. Barrett, William
Kellet, IA. Casey, R. Scott, r. Rule,
John Clarity and Michael Lumbert. At

THE HUMBOLDT GROUP.
Valuable Property Acquired by tn,
Florida Mining Company.

Valuable Property Acquired by the
Florida Mining Company.
The Avalanche. Of Silver City, Ida,
in speaking OF the sale of the Hum
boldt group to the Florida Mining
company, says:
Negotiations have been in progress
for several weeks between j. NJ Cuff
fey of Pittsburg, Pa, representing the
Florida Mining company, and Messrs.
John Feour and Taylor Gearbart, own
ers Of the Humboldt group, for the
transfer of that property to the for
nler's company. On Wednesday OF this
week the sale was consummated, and
in a Boise bank to Feour & Bearbart' S
credit.
The property involved in the sale
comprises some of the best ground on
Florida mountain, and consists tf
four claims. viz: Humboldt, Sterling,
Baltic and Diana. The claims lie side
by side and adjoin the Bonneville
group, owned by the Florida company,
on the north.
Considerable development work has
been done upon the ground by the for
n1er owners, and the Florida company
is to be congratulated in securing this
valuable addition to it's present rich
holdings.
Messrs. Feour and Gearh.rt, who
are two of our Oldest and most per-
sistent prospectors, have by this deal
closed out every foot of mining prop
erty they own in Owyhee, and will
probably retire from the hopeful, but
cfttines disappointing, labor of pros
pecting, and enjoy the fruits of their
well-merited success.

Big Arkansas Dry Goods Firm Goes
to the Wall.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. '27.-Wolf
Brothers, the largest wholesale dry
goods establishment of this section,
was closed by attachment shortly after
midnight During the night, attach
ments amounting to $1S4. 402.50 were
issued on the stock and real estate of,
the firm. and placed in the hands Of
the sheriff.
The total liabilities will reach $780,
coo. The assets are placed at S475,000.
The firm had plenty of assets, but ow-
ing to the present financial condition
could not realize on any of them. East
ern creditors demanded their money,
and refused to grant extensions, des-
pite the fact that the firm had paid to
esatern creditors within the last four
months upwards of 100000. The firm
Of Wolf Brothers was composed of
Isaac and Joseph Wolf and was the
only exclusive wholesale dry goods
house iE the state. The firm owned
several of the most valuable business
blocks in the city. This property was
also attached. Wolf Brothers were in
terested in the Joe P. Quinn Dry Goods
company and also in many other cor
porations about Little Rock. Their
present difficulties will not interfere in
the least with the business of the other
corporations.

Mining Locations.

The following question was asked S.
W. Langhorne, of the Helena land
office:
Two claims adjoin each other, end
to end, and are located on the same
vein. The shaft on the one claim is
eight feet from the line of the other
claim. Will 5000 worth of work in sink
ing this shaft, represent both claims
as assessment work?
There are three claims. The smaller
one is within a patented claim taken
under the old law and is only 100 feet
wide. The discovery on that claim is
on q, separate vein from the discoveries
on the other two claims, which are not
patented. viii 500 or more of work on
patented claim represent the other two
larger unpatented claims within the
limits of which it lies.
Yes" was the reply, ''if both the
claims are owned by the same person
or persons, the work of development,
though confined to one of the Claims,
may count for BOTH
Surprising there are three claims, as
represented in the diagram, two ad-
joining each other end to end, and a
third small claim which is patented
ground lying wholly within the
boundary lines of the other claims,
which are not patented-in such a case
would $500 worth of work performed
within the patented claim represent
the other tWo?"
..As a genral proposition. no. was
Mr. Langhorne's reply, but if all the
claims are owned by the same persons
and the work done on the patented
claim tends to the development of the
other Two, and such work Is prose
cuted in the general system OF develop
ment of all three, it can be so counted.
Work done even outside OF the lines OF
a claim may be counted, when it has
direct reference 10 the drainage or de-
velopment of the claim.
development is the condition prece-
dent to enable one to maintain posses
sion and secure patent upon the requ2-
site amount OF work having been per-
formed The manner in which it Is
done nor the locality where it is done
is not an important question so long as
whatever is done is for the benefit OF
and develops the claim or claims. =
