kane Falls & Northern nine miles north
of Spokane, to avoid service and inter
cept a special train that he and the rep
resentatives of the British America Cor
poration, the prospective purchasers, had
chartered to go to Rossland.
At 1890 o'clock last night this train,
which consisted of a special engine and a
private car, was all ready to start just
before the moment of starting Deputy
Sheriff Burch appeared at the depot with
the restraining order. The men he most
wanted to serve it on were inside the car.
The blinds were drawn and the door
locked.
"Open the door" demanded Burch.
"Get off the car" yelled the conductor
in reply.
Then General Manager Austin COrbin
II. was sent for. He arrived, looked into
the situation, thought for time and
finally at 1920 p. m. gave the engineer
orders to go ahead The deputy made
another attempt to stop the engineer, but
it was of no avail The last seen of the
deputy sheriff he was still clinging to the
front platform of the car.
Senator Turner arrived in the city at
4:30 o'clock yesterday morning IN the
delayed Northern Pacific. He was busy
all day with his associates in fighting the
proposed deal This morning he left for
Rossland. 1t is expected he and his adj
herents will tap the wires early today
and try to invoke the aid of the British
Columbia court to prevent the deal going
through.
Quick Trip From Fort steele.
James f. Dolan, United States inspect
or of customs, arrived in Spokane last
week, having made the record trip up to
date from Fort Steele to Spokane. He
left Fort Steele at 5 p. m. Sunday and

up and down the Kootenay on the busy
little steamers that ply the stream. As
might be guessed he has had exciting
experiences.
COIwyn Wagon ROnd.
The Colwyn, near Wallace, Idaho, IS
now building its new wagon road to con
meet with the old road from the Sitting
Bull road to the Father Lode As soon |
as it is completed, shipments of ore will
commence. The work of sinking on the
ore chute had to be abandoned owing to
water coming in faster than it could be
handled When the attempt to go deeper |
was abandoned, a drift was commenced |
from near the bottom of the shaft, run
ming eastward into the mountain, and
two feet of ore is now reported in the face
of the drift.
New Road to SprinEdaIe.
Engineer Roberts, of the Spokane Falls |.
& Northern, and his men surveyed a
route for wagon road to the Cedar Can
yon mines last week. They report that a
tirst-class road with only a slight grade
can be made for a small outlay of money
and muscle. This road when completed
will put the Cedar Canyon ore about 20
miles nearer the cars than the present
route by Davenport, and the cost of
freighting will be only about one-half the
PliNC INV paul
The stevens Peak Region.
The trail to the Stevens peak region is
nearly completed, and soon there will be
considerable prospecting in that part of
the Occur d'Alenes, besides a number of
parties who already hold claims in there
will be doing development work. 1t is a
large country, of which but little is yet
known, although it lies within few miles
of Wallace. Its drainage is towards the
st. joe which has had a tendency to dis
courage prospectors, as it was doubtful
about getting transportation.
A Number of New Shippers.
The Deer Trail mine in Cedar canyon,
Stevens county, is sacking about 30 tons
per day from the dump. The ore is not
sorted, but is sacked just as it comes from
the mine, and smelter returns are said to
be satisfactory.
Some choice ore is being taken out by
the Elephant Mining Company and the
mine will shortly join the list of shippers
from Deer Trail camp.
Fifty teams are reported engaged in
hauling ore from the Legal Tender and
Deer Trail No. to Davenport.
Metcalf & Allen are preparing to ship
from the Victor, joining the Legal Ten
