Lee would not feel justified in making
stronger assertions officially than could

fixed the mine which blew up the Maine
In Havana harbor or have fired 1t. When
Naval Attache Sobral gave out in Wash

bad been laid In Havana harbor, evidence
that this was a mistake was quickly ac-
cumulated at the consulate. before the
board had established that fact to its
own satisfaction. Whether some Of the
junior officers who were stationed al the
arsenal under Weyler were directly i'm
plicated in the plot may be a matter Of
individual opinion rather than OF demon
strated evidence.

A visit 10 the Mica bay mining dis
trict, seven miles south of here, would
prove revelation TO most Ceur d'AIene
people. A representative Of the Press
visited the two most promising mines
Of that camp the first Of the week and
found the property Of the Kootenai
Mining & Milling Company, embracing
two claims, the Kootenai and Pataha,
with large. well defined ledge Of quartz
extending full length. This property
makes an excellent surface showing
and a crOss-cut tunnel tapping the ledge
At depth Of thirty i've feet, shows i'm
provements Of values In both gold and
silver. Fifty feet below this is the main
tunnel, which follows the ledge into the
mountain for q distance Of $50 feet.
The ore from the face Of this tunnel Is
well mineralized and assays Of gold and
silver have been obtained showing val
ues Of from % TO go and averaging
about e5 per ton, one assay showing
thirty ounces OF silver. At the surface
the ledge is two feet wide and in the
lower tunnel II shows a width of twelve
feet. The formation on each side Is
pOrphery and granite and the extention
Of the tunnel. which Is being pushed
forward without delay, will give a depth
Of over 300 feet by the time 1t has been
driven another 100 feet. The quartz
carries large quantities Of iron pyrites
and has every indication OF good ore.
The Rich Hill Mining & Milling Con-
pany owns three claims farther up the
mountain. These claims are developed
by 4 forty eve foot shaft and q fine
working tunnel go feet in length. The
ledge varies from six TO twelve feet 10
width and is composed principally OF a
white ore resembling that from the fla
nous Republic mine Of Washington.
This ledge is in periphery and granite
formation and assays give n value run
ming from Is to Sl5 per ton. With q
tunnel Of 900 feet this property will be
developed to depth Of over 500 feet.
The ore is not strictly free milling, but
can be easily concentrated, and the
large bodies now being exposed by de-
velopment show that IL can be profit
ably handled IL the value does not ex-
coed % per ton. There is . good water
power on the property and it is located
within two and one half miles Of the
lake. which makes handling and trans
portation charges hight.
That these properties are reasonably
certain TO become permanent and pay.
ing propositions there can be little doubt
and they are being intelligently and
economically developed under the sup
ervision OF the manager, John Shanks,
of Post Falls. Samples Of the ore may
be seen at this ONCE.
