BIG PAY IN OLD DUMPS.


Special Correspondents
RLEWETT. Oct lS--Aishough Blewett
Is an Old camp. having been worked since
1866. the place Is little known outside al
mining circles. There has been great profit
In working the waste dumps in the last
few years, and profits will be greater in
time 10 come than in the past as several
companies hare have lost a large percent
age of the gold taken out. Large guam
titles OF ore produced have never been
miilea. because the lowest standard value
for treatment during number Of years
was $40 a ton.
Here is an instance showing the rich
ness OF the ground John oiden and Joe
Marks. two miners of R.ewett worked a
waste dump In 1895. and divided the profits
with the old company on basis of 50 per
cent royalty. with profitable results. They
had to put up With many Inconvenience
and handled the ore four different times
before 1t reached the mall They sent to
the mill about ten tons OF ore per day
during the time they worked on the
ground. and cleaned up S. per ton. after
paying royalty. which shows net profit
OF $50 day. or about 81 90 a month.
These men had only an average dump.
Others made much more than they did.
Nearly all the ore was covered by waste
dirt.
piece OF pure gold was picked up from
one Of the refuse dumps only few days
ago. This piece weighed pennyweights
and grains. and ASSAYS 80 per ounce.
Other smaller pieces have been found.
The Warrior General Mining Company
is building . slime plant to work in con-
nection with Its mill. and also to run
considerable value. II Is almost impossible
to save anything like what gold there IL in
the ore without this, as all the slime car
rtes considerable value.

Dave King Is a shining example OF what
q young man with stifY chin and high
cheekbones can accomplish In the open
1eld OF mining. King was a Eypsyish sort
OF printer. who after having endured the
servitude Of cook In a railroad camp and
survived many hungry and shivering vfcis-
STUDIES, at length found his ''n1etier'' in
the Palouse wheat country. as the owner
and editor OF the Tekoa Globe. In the
cleanup Of the hard times he was made
an emigrant from the wheat belt. and did
not pause on the road until he had landed
in the SLOGAN country. At Kaslc he found.
ed the Kootenaian. and soon made II the
best mining authority In that section Of
British Columbia. He took to tho mining
vernacuiar with reportoriai aptitude. and
to mining like Cornishman. He became
a mine owner. n mining promoter and
finally mine manager and expert, having
meanwhile retired from the newspaper
business. The other day King was appoint
ed as the representative for Idaho and
Washington, with Offices at Spokane. II
the American Smelling snd Refining Gem
pany. and the press Of the state, which
once iavishly quoted or guarreled over his
spitfire political editorials on the Old Te-
koa Globe. will congratulate him on his
good fortune. for the position he has won
by industry and study In a top-notchcr.

GEORGIA SUFFERED DEFEAT
Lose Closely Contested Game to North
Carolina

Atlanta, Ga. November 90.-The Uni
yersity of North Carolina defeated the
University of Georgia in a closely con-
tested game at football at Piedmont park
today by score of to 0.
The Caroinians made touch down in
four and half minutes after the ball was
put in play in the first half by series of
sturdy bucks and splendid gains made by
Keoher. the right half back, whose play
ing was the feature of the game.
Georgia attempted several times TO kick
a goal from the field, burt fell short. In
the second half Georgia kept the ball In
the Tar Heels territory, and one time
placed 1t on the three-yard line, but was
unable to carry it over for touchdown

UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
Wins Over Brown With Comparatively
Little Effort

Chicago, ILL.,, November 30.-The Uni
versity of Chicago finished her triumphant
season today by defeating Brown by a
score of II to g. Only twice in the game
did the Brown men menace the Maroon
gcal,. and each time Chicago braced with
fine spirit and saved her goal from the
rushes of the Rhode Islanders.
From the center to end the Maroons
outplayed Brown and gave an exhibition
of consistent defense which mas seldom
been surpassed. AT no time was Brown
able to score through The line, while Chi
cago found large holes at will and sent her
fast backs around the visitors ends for
spectacular runs.
With defeat staring lher in the face
Brown made a grand rally in the second
half and seemed to gain strength as the
half progressed. When darkness interviewed
she had scored and was charging into chi
cago's line with fierce rushes that showed
her spirit was not broken.
Without Captain Kennedy, Chicago's de-
tense was still faultless and her offense
lacked little of its accus toned force.
The day was ideal, and 10000 people
crowded the big stands and sang to the
music of the band.

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING
Fred Homes Seriously Injured While
Out Hunting

New Decatur, November 30-(Special)-
Fred Homes, young white man, was ac-
cidentally shot and seriously injured while
hunting yesterday morning
Young Homes and Burt Saywell, a mes
senger boy in Bib & Hoff's bank, were
trying to run a rabbit out of a large brush
pile when Saywell's gun, which he was car
rying cooked, was accidentally discharged
and the greater part of the load entered
the right shoulder and the right side of
Homes face.
Homes was holding the stock of his gun
near his shoulder when Saywells gun was
discharged and part of the charge entered
Homes gun stock. tearing it into splinters.
The gun discharged was loaded with No.
5 bird shot, but Homes was only about forty
feet away when then gun went off.
Had it not have been for Homes gun
stock stopping part of the charge he would
have been killed instantly.
Homes was brought home in a country
wagon and medical aid was summoned at
once.
The shot may prove fatal.

Victim of a Strange Joke
From the Boston Post.

From the Boston Post.
Two passengers on the New England on
her last trip, one an American and the 9TH
er an Englishman, did not exchange the
farewell courtesies when the steamer
reached her pier usual between voyagers
who have occupied adjoining staterooms
and hobnobbed during an ocean voyage.
A plausible explanation was vouchsafed by
the American.
During the voyage the Englishman per-
sisted I'm fraterniMng with the American in
most obtrusive and annoying manner
Within two days of Boston the English
man one morning hunted up the American
and found him in apparent dependency,
gazing seward from the hurricane deck.
COMPOUNDED blue this morning, old
chap! What's the matter?" And the Brit
Usher slapped his companion on the back
Matter enough" growled the American.
"Ship's lost; captain don't know which way
to steer. Forgot to wind the compass last
night"
The Englfshman listened with mouth
agape, then rushed off to tell his friends
of the consequential mishap. Evidently
the gullfble Britisher was pushed along"
for some time until he found everybody
guydng him.

FINE DONATION
Scientist Presents University With
Specimens rof Minerals

Tuscaloosa, November 30.-(Special.)-
That eminent scientist, Dr. Charles Mohr,
of Mobile, has placed the university under
renewed obligations by donating to the
museum several boxes of specimens Of
minerals, woods and shells, and to the
library $50 or 200 books. These are now be-
ing unpacked and arranged and labelled
by Mr.. Anderson, the curator Of the muse
UNI.
1t is gratifying to note the disposition Of
the people of the state to send to the uni
versity such donations. The university is
indeed the proper place for them, as there
they will be cared for and accessible to
great many more people than If they re-
main in private collections. 1t is hoped
that in the next year or two both the ID
brary and the museum will be overrun.

Mississippi Defeats Tulane

New Orleans, November 3O.-The UNIVERSE
ty of Mississippi easily defeated Tulane
university by a score of 10 to 0. This was
Tulane's last game this season and owing
to the number of men injured and the lightE
ness of the players the team has not met
with a single success. Mississippi made it's
goals by bucking the line, the backs and
guards forcing their weight through three
times, losing the odd joints by failing to
kick easy goals Nobody was hurt. Henry.
Redhead and the backs played best for the
visitors. Eshleman's brilliant and futile run
was the only local feature. About 10000
people saw the game.
