lieved that the great ore chute at this
point will average 5000 per ton.

directions on the ledge, and mining men
familiar with the Republic mine say
they will not be surprised IL drifting
shows that the ore extends entirely
across the big ledge, from wall to wall.
IL that should be the case. the property
will have a fabulous value.
THE ledge in the lower tunnel is
about 10 feet wider than in the upper

Butte. Shortly after the trains arri-
val. he went to the Dewey house, on

east Of Cedar street. He engaged a
room of Margaret Morse. who was in

and hat he would take the room for a
week II he found he could do anything
in his line here. He seemed very much
depressed, remarking that II was SO
very hard to make a living.
There are two single beds in the
room, and Brescoe requested that no
one else be assigned to the room. as
IL would inconvenience his picture-en-
larging operations.
At about z o'clock on Wednesday
evening the attention of Mrs. Vollen-
weider. who Is the proprietress OF the
restaurant in connection with the
house. and her sister. Mrs. Morse. was
attracted to the fact that water was
leaking through the ceiling from one
of the upper rooms. They went to room

taps were wide open inc the water

Brescoe was not in the room and
neither OF the two beds a been dis
turbed. At about 3 o'clock on Wednes-
day evening Mrs. Vollenweider and her
sister, whose rooms are directly under
the room occupied by Brescoe, heard a
sound as though some heavy body were
falling to the foo They did not pay
much attention to this, thinking tina
some lodger had stumbled over a chair

The case of Howard o. Emmons of Hy-
attsville, Nd, against the county commits
sioners of Montgomery county. TO deter
mine the right to one-half of the fines
which have been imposed in large num-
Der of cases for violation of the local op-
ton law, was yesterday evening decided
by Judge Henderson in favor of Mr.. En-
mons.
This case has for some months excited
much interest and comment throughout
the country and the district. Mr.. En-
mons acted in behalf of the Anti
Saloon League, and, it is said, secured
the indictment and conviction of Il
number of persons on the Con6uit road
and other parts of the county for the Illicit
sale of liquors, and the suit resulted over
division of the fines imposed in these cases.
1t is understood that Mr. Emmons will do
rate the amount awarded him to the Anti
Saloon League.
The efforts of those opposed to dividing
the fines with the informer has made the
fight q bitter one and one long-continucd.
Mr.. Emmons was represented by Messrs.
Arthur Peter of Washington and Frank
Higgins of Rockville; Messrs. Bouic F.
Waters and Alex. Kilgour appeared for
the county commissioners.
