HiIIsboro Mines and Mills

Fifteen miners are at work on
the Richmond. A carload of first
class ore was shipped early this
week and the Bonanza mill will
start in a few days on big run OF
milling ore from the mine.
At the Snake all the leasers are
reported as doing unusually we'll
and frequent shipments of high
grade ore are made.
The Brush Heap mine is said to
he shipping q carload of ore week
OF average vslne OF about $4,000
per car. Some others of the King.
ston district mines are expected to
start very soon. The rise in the
price of lead will encourage this
movement.
Active work on the Wicks mine
was resumed this week and the
mining force will he increased
gradually from now on. The ore
product OF the mine is principally
smelting and il is designed to cup
ply the Hillsboro Sm~iter with a
large proportion OF their required
daily consumption.
Several members Of the Hills
boro Smelling a. Refining Com
pany are expected here within the
next ten days. They will come
prepared to commence building
operations and to some extent to
contract for ore. Sampling works
and storage bins will be first con-
serncted and ore purchases will b.
made long before the furnaces are
ready for smelling.
Col. Parker Is making the final
survey for the pipe line to the
Mesa Del Ora plscers and grading
and excavating work will follow
promptly.
4. Scan,on has bought out the
Titus interest in the Butler lease
and the firm will now be Spencer,
Collard and Scanlon. Work on
the shaft is showing up large
body of ore and it looks as though |
this lease will be the making OF the
Butter mine ss we'll as being q very |
profitable one TO the operators.
Scott and Wayland are working
the seven-forty. an extension soutb
of the Butler. and are getting ore
that assays Is per cent copper,
three to four ounces gold and fif-
teen ounces silver to the ton.
The Rex lead carbonate strike,
as work progresses, shows no di.
minishment in size, or value.
Much work must be done to prove
its extent aud 'permanency, but it
is certainly at present a very big
nrospeet,

A mail carrier from the Yukon
mines in Alaska reports that flour
as selling at 81 a pound and ham
at 81, so pound. He states that
many miners are rushing into the
country without sufficient provis
ions. Few of those who go best
supplied will have more than
enough for their own use.
Considerable interest is being
taken in the attempts to save the
tine placer gold along the Ssskatch-
evan river 10 Canada. Numbers
of Americans form Chicago and
have already commenced
work there. There have been sev.
eral attempts to use machinery for
saving this fine gold, hut they have
proved frutile in a large measure.
A new law In Idaho provides
that none but citizens or those who
have declared their Intention to

Them declared their intention to

and Registration has about completed its
work of licensing the physicians of the
State. Up to the present time 3,439 certifi-
Gates have been sent out. There are six
thousand practicing physicians in the State

lessness of some Of the doctors and by the
large number of illegitimate physicians who
have been afraid to apply for licenses. The

HOLLOWAY A BAD SHOT.
He Fired Four Times at "a Burglar
and Missed Him.

II. II. Holloway, living at 3S7 North Illi-
nois street, had an exciting encounter with
a burglar last night. Shortly after mid
night he was awakened by some one NOV
ing about in the dining room, which was
separated from the room in which he was
sleeping by a narrow passagewly, from
which opened a side door. Both doors
opening into the passageway were open.
Mr.. Holloway also noticed that the gas
was burning dimly in the dining room, and
then he heard the sound of silverware rat
Ting. To make sure that it was not
member of the family or a roomer Mr. Hol-
loway crept to the door and saw a man
deliberately packing up the silverware. The
light was too low to make out the features
of the man. Mr.. Holloway crept back
and got his pistol, and then lay down on
the floor beside the bed in a position to
command the dining-rOom door. Presently
the burglars shadow darkened the en-
trance and then the dark form of the man
himself could be seen. Mr.. Holloway took
deliberate aim and fired four shots in rapid
succession He afterwards picked three Of
the bullets out of the woodwork near the
door, and the third could not be found, and
the burglars body. The burglar, however,
made his escape. He ran back into the
kitchen and kicked out a window pane, and
then jumped through the screen and to the
ground. The bike cops" searched the
neigh borhood, but found neither blood nor
burglar. The silVerware was dropped by
the burglar in his flight

THAT MACCURDY AFFAIR.
MIR. montgomery Thinks 1t Should Go
to the Grand Jury.

Yesterday afternoon. in the city clerk S
office, word came to Councilman Montgom-
cry, chairman of the committee appointed
to investigate the purchase of the CAME
we'll police telegraph system that William
MacCurdy, the central figure in these in
vestigations, had made another statement.
This committee will not pay any more
attention to this man." said Mr. Mont
gomery. MY opinion is that he's a great
liar, and I'm in favor of sending the facts
to the grand jury and having the case in
vestigated there"
Councilman Clark was asked yesterday If
he intended pushing the matter any farther
as far as the original charges of MacCurdy
are concerned He replied that he did not
Il intend to let it drop, he said, land have
nothing further to say about it. Mr.. Mac
Curdy, in his statement before the Council
investigating committee, entirely exoner-
ated me, and there is nothing further for
me to do"
Mr. MacCurdy admitted yesterday that
he had said to the newspapers all that had
been credited to him. His desire now, he
said, was To eXonerate MIR. Clark, and he
was ready 10 let the matter rest where it is.
He declared he declined to sign the first
papers presented TO him in the investigation
Wednesday, because they made me out a
plain liar.
