and we'll 1 remember her carrying loaf
as tall as herself, which on one particular

has refused to allow him to handle any
money. johnson says his partner has
81 900 worth Of ore at an East Helena
smelter and there is also some money in
the First National bank of Butte to
the partnership credit. Johnson asked
for an order enjoining Grimes from
further interfering with the mine or
the ore at the smelter or money in the
bank. He also asked for a dissolution
of the partnership and for the appoint
ment of a receiver. Judge Lindsay is
sued temporary injunction and ap-
pointed Pat Boland receiver of the

investment broker, reached this city at
3 :53 a. m., today, having run 1,O26

chartered special train in Chicago in
order to reach the bedside of his dying
son, William B. Mayhem, as quickly as
possible. The Burlington officials
guaranteed to take him to Denver in
twenty four hours. They made good
their guarantee and had five hours and
seven minutes to spare.
From the moment the train left
Chicago until it rolled into the Denver
depot, no hitch of any kind occurred.

RICH MINING REGION.
Combination of Natural Wealth on the
Siuslaw Coast.

J. S. Grant, an old prospector and
mining man, formerly Of Philipsburg,
Mont, has just returned from three
weeks prospecting trip Oh the Siuslaw
coast. and has the most glowing stories
to tell of the wonderful mineral rich.
ness Of this region, Its fine building
stone right in the Siuslaw harbor and
the finest of timber for ship building
and numbering. He will only remain
a few days. He intends returning to
Glenada, the new town on the Siuslaw.
with a few prospectors to open up the
country.
Speaking of the Siuslaw region last
night, Mr.. Grant said: cit is an un-
prospected country with any quantity
of mineral for 30 miles Oh each side of
the Siuslaw with gold, silver. copper
and iron. l have seen the ore myself,
and think it will be a great district for
prospectors to investigate, as it has
the advantage Of being near the ship
ping. 1t is not good country though
to prospect in the wet season on ac-
count of the luxuriant vegetation and
the heavy rains. but during the dry
season it is all right ~
Mr.. Grant has located a copper lead
of remarkable richness on the Siuslaw.
Samples that he brought to Portland
to have assayed went away up. The
cost of mining would be small, and
the ore could be shipped by steamer to
Portland at the rate Of So per ton. Mr..
Grant is going back to follow up the
lead. and if it developes into Il ledge
and the quantity of the ore holds out
he will have big thing in copper. -
