ETHEL GILL'S MURDER.
Butte Authorities Not Certain They
Have the Murderer.

Butte. Mont, June 12.-Thousands of
people today visited the scene of the
murder of little Ethel Gill, and hun
dreds went to the county Jail to see
the man who is suspected of it, They
were in hopes of being able to identify
Charles Smith as the man who had
been seen in various parts of the city,
making indecent advances towards
young girls and children. none of them
were able to do it, however, and some
of the authorities are beginning to
waver little in their faith that they
have the right man. They are bending
every effort to find the guilty party,
and most of them think Smith is the
man.
One feature of the case is that when
the little girl did not come to supper
and the anxious mother went to look
for her, she was attracted by the
crowd that had gathered around the
officer who arrested Smith on a charge
of burglary. This was not over % feet
from the clubhouse in which the body of
her child was found later and where
it was no doubt at the time Not re-
alizing that she had any interest in the
arrest, the mother passed on and con-
tinued her search. The ellis have been
following the race horses over the west
ern circuit, both father and mother act
ing as cooks.

THE La SAL MOUNTAINS.
A Colorado Miner Who Is Pleased
With This Section.

The Times of Aspen, Colo, contains d
letter from a prominent mining man,
who is trying his fortunes in the La
Sal mountains this state, which reads
as follows:
"Wen, here 1 am in the Moab valley,
all safe and sound; have just returned
from the La Sal mountains, about 20
miles away. I have not yet learned
much interesting to write, but can say
it looks like a mineral country. After
one gets out of the sandstone, the for
nation is all right. The snow has held
back the prospecting, and l was not
able to get to many of the holes; but
those L did see looked as good as the
average new camp. l could not get into
Miners Basin, but the snow is going
fast and | think l can get there the
last of this week. There are some 200
or 300 prospectors in the hills, and few
coming in every day; most of them that
are coming now are from Cripple Creek.

without doubt there is gold here; L
have panned it out myself; but how
much there is, is question of deVel-
opment. which, on account of the late
season. has been slow. l don't think
there is much surveying to be done just
at present but there will be later in
the season, and perhaps if you was here
now you could make expenses. There
is lots of unprospected country-room
for a thousand prospectors without
crowding. l expect to get the assay
furnace set up on Mill creek same time
next week, and can then tell more about
the values Shall probably go up to the
mountains again on Thursday and build
a cabin and commence work as soon as
possible. Coming here from Thomp-
son, one comes through a desolate
country, and from here to the noun
tains is still worse, but freaks of ma
ture make it interesting. The Garden
of the Gods amt in it for balanced
rocks and sandstone curiosities. AT
present the best way for one coming
light is via Moab. If coming with pack
animals or team, Cisco is the shorter
route. There are quite good accommo-
dations at Moab, and horses and jacks
can be got here. A good jackass sells
for S. pack saddles for So to $40, while
at Cisco there are no accommodations
or horses or jacks to be had. L rode
about so to 60 miles on horseback Fri
day and Saturday, and ate my meals
standing up; but am getting stretched
and calloused, and hope to stand the
next trip better. l am quite certain it
is a good country for prospectors, and
believe this summer will show it to be

THE MINES OF OWYHEE.
The Pelatin Process Applied to Poor
man Ores

In its weekly mining review the
Avalanche, of Silver City, Ida, says:
Poorman.-The test run OF 80 tons of
Poorman ore, through the Pelatin-
Clerici process, was finished about ten
days ago, and the results were highly
satisfactory to the manager. The plant
is now running at it's fullest capacity
ten tons daily-and is said to be saving
the values very closely. The Poorman
is now on the list of producers, where
it should have been years ago, and the
London stockholders are to be con-
graduated for their ''sticktoitiveness, y
and also on it's able corps of employees
who have charge of the work at the
mine and MILL The Avalanche has al
ways contended that the mine was all
right.
Empire.-Leslie Crutcher returned
week accompanied by Mr.. NJ. H.
Jacobs, and they are now at the En-
pire mine, making preparations for
hosting the water. The mine will be
cleared to the fourth level, and the
drifts extended. The long idlene5s at
this property necessitateS overhauling
of machinery and replacing of timbers,
etc, but the work of repair is progress
ing rapidly and mining operations will
soon commence in earnest.
Cumberland.-The mill is running
steadily and bullion shipments are
regular. ]. E. Branscombe, one of the
lessees has been at the property for
two weeks past, and expresses himself
as ore than pleased with it.

THE MINING CONGRESS.
Indications That This Will Be a
Grand Affair.

In commenting on the forthcoming
mining congress to be held in this city
in July next, the Mining World of Butte
says:
Arrangements for the international
Mining congress to be held in Salt Lake,
July to 8, have passed their prelim-
mary stage, and the prospects are good
for a great convention. The local exc
cutive committee, in charge of arrange
ments has already received Sd 100 from
voluntary contributions, and expects to
bring the sum up to $4,000 with little
difficulty. This will be used for the
expenses of the committee, secretary
and his staff, for the proper reception
and entertainment of the delegates, and
for reporting and printing the proceed
ings of the congress. The Denver SEES
sion of the congress-, with it's thousand
or more delegates, had less than 81 500
at it's disposal, so it may be inferred
that the Salt Lake committee expects to
handle the convention in way to do
honor to their city and state.
Up to June / over 700 delegates had
been appointed, representing some 70
communities in % different states,
ranging from Pennsylvania and Geor-
gia on the east to California, Oregon
and Washington on the west. Montana
was the first state to accept the in
vitation to take part in the congress
Kentucky was the first to name dele
gates at large. Colorado and California
both of which will send very large dele
cations, have not announced their ap-
pointments at large. although their del
egates have been selected. Canada and
Mexico will be represented officially,
and it is believed that at least 1,500
authorized delegates will attend the
congress, and the more Sanguine mem
more.

ing which the Butte Miner says:
J. H. Conrad has sold his interests
in the Horr Coal & Coke properties to
New York syndicate represented by
Simon H. Stern, New York attorney,
the price paid being $7S0,000 cash. The

was finally closed this week. A num-
Der of experts have examined and re
ported on the properties, which con-
sist of the Horn coke plant and 5000
acres of coal lands. Mr.. Stern was seen
yesterday and questioned about the
deal. When asked if he had made the
purchase as reported, he said:
con behalf of my clients residing in
New York, l have purchased the con-
trolling interest in the Montana Coal
& Coke company of Horn. They are
we'll known men, of large means, and

THE NELLIE M'MAHoN.
Throwing Good Ore Over the Ivie
MAY Dump.

Robert McQuillan and Johnny Carey,
Tuesday, took up supplies to the Mel
lie McMahon mine, on West Fork, says
the keystone, of Ketchum, Ida The
ground was first located about Is years
ago, and since that time it has been
relocated by perhaps a dozen different
prospectors. Mr.. McQuillan, who has
had the ground in mind for years, went
UP a few weeks ago, proSpected the old
tunnels and concluded TO put in a
weeks work on the indications" He
found the ledge and took out about two
tons of ore after working five days. He
sent for his partner, Mr.. Carey, and
they have both gone up prepared to
work. There are better chances to
prospect on Wood river now than there
ever was before, for the simple reason
that since silver was demonetized
many who had for years kept up their
assessment work. becoming convinced
that silver would be relegated to the
level of baSer metals, in despair aban-
doned their property and struck out
for new fields. Those who remained
here are now reaping the benefits of
all the hard work performed on these
abandoned claims.
Peter Young came down Monday
from Boyle mountain and brought with
him some red carbonate taken from
the Ivie May mine formerly Hannah
Belle) to have assayed. The carbonates
lie between the ore and hanging wall
and averages from three to six inches
in width. Mr.. Young considered it
worthless and consigned about two
tons to the waste dump before he ex-
amined it closely. The assay gave 81 80
ounces silver, a trace of gold and u
per cent lead per ton.

Park City. June 12.-All doubt as to
the permanency of the ore body in the
Valeo has been dispelled by the devel-
opments made in that property in the
last week. Two practical mining men
returned from. the mine on Sunday with
the following report:
A winze is being sunk on the ore
chute, 10 feet from the top of the main
raise, through solid first-class shipping
ore, four feet of which samples 50 per
cent copper, 16 ounces silver and $11.40
in gold. The Wine is now down 80
feet, and from all appearances the ore
body goes down at an angle of about
20 degrees. 1t is estimated that drift
westerly rs feet from the lower tunnel
will catch the ore. chute 500 feet below
the first discovery. When this is COM
pleted, look out for a Grand Central
movement in this stock.
The company will commence hauling
ore next week, and as copper and gold
are the predominant values it should
sell well.
The Marsac mill is now running at
its old gait, 100 tons being the daily
capacity. The result OF the milling of
the tailings will be known as soon as
refining commences. Hon. R. c. Cham
berS came out this forenoon, accom-
panied by his check-book, and Will pay
the employees of the Ontario Silver
Mining company and Daily tomorrow.
Fourteen cars of timber and lumber
have arrived for the Lowring mill.
which is being erected in Woodslde can
yon. below the Kearns-Weber plant,
and 80 cars are expected for the silver
King mill this week. AS everything
connected with the Silver King works
is strictly first-class, much is expected
of the new mill. Manager Kearns will
not overlook anything in making it an
upto-date plant
The Daily lessees will make a ship
ment of ore TOMORROW.
