Opening a. Zig Mine.

Nearly $250,0O0 are being spent in de-
veloping and putting in machinery to
operate the Helena-Frisco properties at
Gem. Idaho The work was commenced
in January, since which time over 100 men
have been employed, and 1t Is expected
that the mine will be ready to operate
about July 10 next. 1t will then be de-
veloped down to the S00-foot level, the
levels being 200 feet apart. A new MOIST
Is being put in. capable of going $500 feet
and hosting 800 tons at that depth. IL
was shipped yesterday. The engine Will
be set in station underground, 1900 feet
from the boilers, at the end of the tun-
mel where the station is cut. The station
proper from the engine is 80 feet high
IS feet wide and 20 feet long, and is all
tImbered with oregon ir, lexis. She Will
have a Large condenser for condenslng
the exhaust steam. The new fan for ven
tlating purposes has Il large galvanized
pipe, all soldered, being large enough to
ventilate four levels at a time The fan
moves 100000 cubic feet of air per minute
but will only be run after shooting to
clear away the gas and smoke.

THE BODY WAS STOLEN
GHoULs ROBBED THE GRAVE OF
MILLIONAIRE LADD.
Reward for Its Recovery by the
Heirs Supposed to he the
Incentive.

Portland. Or May 1.-the body of the
late millionaire banker. w. s. I.add. was
stolen from Riverside cemetery Monday
night. The wooden casket in which the
body rested was also taken. The discovery
was made yesterday by an employe of
the cemetery who. in making his usual
rounds, discovered that the grave of the
deceased millionaire had been disturbed
had been stolen.
Thus far no clue has been obtained as
to the identity of the grave robbers. and
the only clue that can be assigned for the
deed is the hope of obtaining reward for
the return of the corpse. There had been
placed over the grave only a temporary
monument, consisting of the usual board
with the initials. IVY. S. L." thereon, the
marble monument ordered by the family
not being completed.
The ghouls dug down into the grave
with round shovels and hauled the body
up an inclined plank with a hook. such
as is used by sections about cemeteries.
The body was then taken to the william
cite river and loaded on boat. The
wooden headboard that marked the grave
and one shoe of the corpse was TAX N
along. The other shoe was left in the
grave. 1t is thought the shoe and head
board will be used to prove that the grave
robbers have the body of w. S. Ladd
should negotiations ever be opened with
them for it's recovery At present the
heirs have no intention of Offering any
reward. w S. Ladd died January g. 1898
and his wealth at that time was esti-
mated at $1,000 600. The estate has been
kept intact.

Another shipping mine has been added
TO the properties in Okanogan county,
the Red Shirt in the upper Methow dis
triCt located on Poleplck mountain, near
Silver. The property was bought last
year by a company. 1t had then been
well opened up, the ledge having been
cross-cut at 24O feet. showing five feet of
ore while shaft sunk on the ledge for
$50 feet showed the body nearly foot
wider an extension of the CrossCut of
over 200 feet was made and another 10
inch ledge was discovered. while drifts Of
400 feet on the main ledge each way de-
veloped that it's width was from four to
six feet. The new company erected a 20
stamp mill last year, and the ore on the
dump was reduced SO into l, while a cross
cut was made 1e0 feet below the upper
tunnel, with the expectation that the ore
body would be tapped at about 600 feet
Two carloads of concentrates have already
been shipped to the sound, and the man
ager says he expects to make regular
shipments all summer

New Denver, b. C, reports that late de-
velopments on the Galena Farm show up
that property in a most satisfactory man
ner. The ledge at the 2O0-foot level Is of
unknown extent and a level Is about to
be started both ways on 1t. Water power
is soon to replace the present steam hoist
irg and pumping plant, and the 15O-ton
concentration and Burleigh air compressor
plant will soon be placed in position. Many
prospects are being recorded. From all
sections the more fortunate claim hunt
ers come in with something staked.
Springer creek Lemon, Carpenter, Ten
Mile, Four Mile and Wilson were the To-
calities designated by most of them, and
on the lake shore others found the min
eral in places" Across the lake and at
its head properties showing well in gold
and iron pyrites are found, and there,
it is predicted. will be the gold camp OF
the lake. On Wilson creek late develop
ments show the ledge matter there of the
same character as that found about Ross
land.

! RIVAL SENATES IN KENTUCKY.
Two Bodies in Session Amidst the
Widest Confusion.

Frankfurt, Ky, May 1S-The fight over
the Stephenson ruslon bill was renewed in
the senate yesterday the silver democrats
insisting that Lieutenant Governor Wor-
Ellington Vacate the chair pending an ap-
peal from his decision on the question of
indicating members who are present but
refuse to vote" Worthington refused to
vacate the chair. Senator Goebel, presi-
dent pro tenn who was presiding pending
the appeal from the Worthington decision
demanded the chair. The president re-
fused to recognize him. and Goebel took
a seat beside the clerks. and two bod
les We're in session amid the widest con-
fusion. Bitter words passed between Sem
ators Bronson and Worthington. The
Worthington senate adorned until 5
o'clock. GoebepS senate. which, though
in the minority. is backed by all the
officers of the senate, adjourned till 5
minutes before 5. Gold democrats and
republicans are in secret caucus, prepar-
ing to reorganize with new clerks, new
president pro tenn, etc.
A compromise was reached, the lieuten-
ant governor concluding that he might
be wrong in resumng the chair before
the appeal from his decision was acted
upon. The agreement was that both sem
ates should meet at 3 o'clock and adjourn
till today at II O'Clock, when Senator
Goebel shall take the chair the appeal
still pending. This means the fusion bill
will not be passed.

Listen to an Unofficial Report

Washington, May ii.-Prcsident Mckn-
ley devoted two hours yesterday to an
unofficial report on the Cuban situation
by Edwin T. Atkyns of Boston, who has
extensive sugar plantations in Cuba and
who has just returned from the island

rotary Long, who today accompanied him

for Judge Day, the assistant secretary of
state, and the distinguished trio for two
hours listened to Atkyns exposition of
the Cuban situation, as indicated by the
military operations and with relation to
the American interests on the island.
During the conference all visitors were
excluded, many senators and representa-
tives being denied admission.
1t is not known what Atkyns said to
the president, but there Is reason to be-
lieVe his representations favored the in
surgents Atkyns, during the early part
Of the war, was inclined to take pro-
Spanish side of the controversy, but it
is asserted that he is now convinced the
interests of the island demand the vic
tory of the insurgents.
The president is gathering all the in
formation obtainable on the Cuban ques-
ton. and in light of this and the report
of Calhoun, now in Havana, will decide
on a course of action.

FOUR HAMlLToNs MURDERED,
Report of Heinous Crime in Mon
tnnn Three weeks Ago.

to the effect that William II. Hamilton. a
contractor, his wife. Mrs. Catherine Ham
ilton; his son, Leo Hamilton aged l9 and
his daughter Elizabeth Hougues Hamil-
ton, aged Is, who lived in Denver until
recently, were murdered in a small vii
lage near Helena, Mont. three weeks ago.
and the crime suppressed in order to en-
able the Montana authorities to trace the
murderers.
Hamilton, who had lived in Denver 70
years. disposed of his property here last
February and left with his family, going
first to oregon and later to Montana

brick making. According to the report
which has reached friends of the family
in this city, Mr.. and Mrs. Hamilton were
found dead in bed with their threats cut.
Miss Hamilton was also dead in bed with
her throat cut and many bruises on her
body. 1t is stated that appearances indi-
Gated that an attempt had been made to
outrage her and that she was killed after
a struggle before her assailants had ac-
complished their fendish purpose. Leo
Hamilton had evidently made a desperate
fight His body lay on the floor and was
literally covered with wounds. All the
fingers of his right hand except the fore
finger were severed, showing that he had
grasped the razor or knife. His throat
was also cut

PUMPS HAVE BEEN STARTED.
Work on the Mines at LendVille to
Be Resumed.

Leadville. Col. May 11-An agreement
having been reached by the owners of the
principal mines. the down town district
has resumed pumping. which was stopped
last winter while the strike was on. The
arrangements for pumping will result in
the employment of probably 1000 men
within six months, 1t is thought that by
August 1 the upper levels in the working
mines will be sufficiently dry to permit
of the introduction of men. and from that
time on men will be continually added to
the working force until all the properties
are in full operation.
1t is believed that many repairs will be
necessary on account of the swelling
and crushing of the timbers occas!oned
by the extra weight of water. More than
5000 acres are included within the terri
tory. the development of which will be
vigorously pushed with deep shafts.

SHOT HIS WIFE THEN HIMSELF.
Family Troubles 10 the Double Crime
Tacoma.

Tacoma, Wash, May 17.-While Mrs.
Louis Mccarthy was returning home
from ST. Leos church yesterday, she WIS
shot through the brain by her husband.
John Arthur Mccarthy, who, after the
shooting of his wife, turned the weapon
against himself and committed suicide.
Mrs. Mccarthy died at St. Josenh's hos
pital ait o'clock and Mccarthy an hour
later at the Fannie Paddock hospital.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mccarthy have been l!v
ing apart for some time. In one of his
pockets was found a letter from his wife
stating she was sick and could not go
down town to see him. She hoped he
would recover his health and said they
would always be friends. though it was
best for them not to see each other. His
wifes refusal to see him undoubtedly
prompted the shooting.
Mccarthy was 80 years old and belong
ed to the Order of Railway Conductors.
and had been yard master OF the Northern
Pacific at Sprague and Spokane. Last
year he worked for the Southern Pacific
in California where he had gone for his
health. His wife was two years younger
