In Dixie District.

For many months Spokane
capital has been steadily de-
veloping a group of rich claims
in this vicinity. These are the
properties of the Idaho Com
stock Mining Company of Spo-
kane. The work has been
quietly done. When the COM
pany was organized the incor-
poration was for $I,ooo,ooo,
butt unlike the usual million
dollar company, the shares
were of par value Of $40.
1t is said that the company set
aside 10000 shares for treas.
ury purposes, and that this was
all sold for ST. per share, net
ting the company 100000,
which was all expended for de-
velopement and machinery.
The company owns group
of II free-milling quartz claims
near here, two placer claims
and four water rights. The
work has been in charge of w.
II. Phelps of Spokane, who is
president of the company, and
has been in camp steadily look
ing after the property since
July last, Mr.. Phelps is an ex-
perienced mining man and has
fitted up at the mines an eX-
tensive labratory, where he
does all the assaying for the
company. Mr.. Phelps has
been reticent about giving out
information about the proper
ty, it being his policy to push
development and avoid any
appearance of booming. He
has consented, however, to
give out the following account
of the Development of the
property.
Work has been largely con
fined to the Comstock claim,
which is developed with a
shaft 40 feet deep, from which
a drift of 125 feet has been run
from the 5o.foot level and a
drift of $50 feet from the 100
foot level. The vein on the
lower level is eight feet wide,
the ore body having widened,
and the last so feet of the drift
shows better values than any
heretofore obtained, indicating
that rich pay chute is being
encountered.
A four-stamp mill was
placed on the property Janu-
airy 1. The actual average of
the mill returns up to this time
is $3.50 per ton. The ore is
absolutely free milling, being
even better ee-milling ore on
the lower level than above.
Tee capacity of the mill is rs
tons per day, but up to March
IS it was not run to more shan
half its capacity, not having
an experienced mill man in
camp. Since that time it has
been handling close to its full
limit. Up to March IS the
mill had turned out about
$4,000 in gold, which was inn
mediately turned back into de-
velopement and the purchase
of needed machinery.
1t is likely that future mill

Gov. Clough was yesterday advised
by Commissary Major E. w. Bach that
the war department would, in all cases
where it is practicable, bring the re-
mains Of Minnesota soldiers who have
died while in service back to their
homes in this state.
The communication was prompted
by a letter from the governor asking
that the remains of Corporal George
Hmm, of st. Cloud, who died at San
tiago Sept 8, of typhoid fever. be sent
to St. Cloud for interment.
Mai Bach yesterday received copy
Of an amendment to the army regula-
tons, issued by the war department
under date of Sept II, providing for the
return of bodies.
Several other Minnesota boys have
died at Santiago, and owing to the red
tape prior to the issuance Of the above
order their relatives and friends were
compelled to bear the expense of bring
ing the remains home.
In the future parents or friends of
deceased soldiers will be saved this eX-
pense by the war department.
Corporal Hinnen's remains will be
sent from Santiago Immediately to st.
Cloud. They will arrive some time
next week.

MODERN FIRE SIGNALS.
ST. PAUL NOW HAS GAMEWELL'S
LATEST ALARM SYSTEM
Headquarters I'm the City and County
Building Are Now Equipped With
the Most Recent Invention.

The new fire alarm system is now in
operation in the new offices in the base
ment of the city hall building. The ap-
paratus, which cost the city Of st. Paul
almost $4,000, is a marvel of mechan-
iCal ingenuity, and now st. Paul has as
modern fire alarm system as has any
city in the world. The headquarters
were moved from Minnesota and
Eighth streets to their present offices
yesterday morning without a hitch of
any kind, and the intricate piece Of
machinery is working as smoothly as if
it had been used for months instead Of
a few hours.
The system is called the Gamewell
manual fire alarm system, and was in
stalled under the personal supervision
OF Harry E. Reed, special agent for the
company.
Within a few mOnths, when the diff
ferent engine houses are equipped with
the necessary lines and machinery,
there will be no necessity for all of the
companies being awakened, as each
alarm, instead Of being instantly trans
mitted to the houses, will go to the OPP
orator in the city hall basement, and
he will send the alarm to the stations
in the vicinity of the fire.
There are many things which cause
the gOngs in the stations to sound when
H.
ter season the wires occasionally con-
tract and snap, causing the gongs to
give one tap, which has the effect Of
disturbing the peaceful SAUNDERS of
every fireman in st. Paul. Under the
new system the alarm comes to the OPP
orator. and if it is a bona fide fire sig
nal he pulls a lever and the gOngs ring
ali over the city.
In each fire alarm box will be a tele-
graph instrument by which signals
and messages can be sent to the main
office. The pen register of the new ap-
paratUs which marks on a sheet Of pa
per the number Of the box turned in,
uses thirty pens, ten for outgoing
alarms and twenty for incoming. In
case Of an emergency, such as the
transmitters being out Of gear, etc,
there is a manual repeater, connected
with all Of the engine houses. This ap-
paratus will send twenty straight
blows, or any combination of numbers
from 1 to 9999, and will repeat any of
these numbers four times in succession
at one setting. Should the regular send
ing machine be out of order the alarm
can be turned in over the manual. Sig
nails, such as II o'clock and taps for
the practice hours, will be sent over
the manual.
The new system is run with two
banks Of storage batteries, one being
charged while the other is in service.
The apparatus also notes the minute
hour, day, month and year that the
alarm is sent in.
The fire alarm department is COM
posed of the following: Thomas Carey,
superintendent; F. E. Hough, S.
Hough. Thomas Hanlon, operators;
Stanley Manning, lineman.
