Quite an excitement was occasion
cd Friday night owing to the disco
very by John Duncan of a light
burning in the basement of C L Nc
Pherson's store. A burglar was
supposed to be in there helping him
self to potatoes and sorghum, and
several citizens were awakened to
assist in making capture. After q
small crowd had assembled they
proceeded to enter the building and
take the thief by sheer force. But
they found they could find no way
Of entering except to break IN the
door. While trying to devise ways
and means whereby they could get
at the burglar someone happened to
remark that probably Mr. Mcpherson
left lantern burning to keep up
the temperature of the room and
prevent his potatoes from freezing.
Later on this was ascertained to be
the case and each went home vigor-

NEW THINGS IN THE ANACONDA PLANT

The improvements in the equipment
pany and the style of operating the
mines have been so great in the last
three years that few people outside of
the company have any idea of their ex-
tent and Importance. These improve
ments have been carried on equally
under ground and above, so that to-day
every mine that belongs to the Ana
conda Copper Mining company is
equipped with machinery of the very
latest improved pattern for handling
ore from depth of 5000 feet-ma-
chinery that will compare favorably
with anything of Its kind in the world.
The old style of hosting ore with
cars is now almost abandoned, and
large, lotion self-dumping skips have
replaced them. In this way the COM
pany not only saves time and power,
but lessons the chances of wrecks in
the shafts. The capacity of the skips
for handling ore is almost unlimited. If
an accident should happen to hoist,
one skip can handle the whole amount
OF ore easily, or the ore can be trans
ferred to one of the adjoining mines and
there hoisted without any inconven-
ience.
The skips are either hung above
double-deck cage or below, to suit the
arrangements of the skip bins at the
surface; by having cages in connection
with these skips, every time the skip
makes trip load of ore can be hoist
ed, besides two cars of waste or deck
loads of men, and, in consequence, no
men now need wait for a cage for any
length Of time.
The skips are loaded at the different
stations, from 50-ton ore bins, in a few
seconds. The gates are operated by
compressed air. The old way of using
cars was very dangerous for the sta
tions tenders, in pulling the empty cars
off and pushing the loaded ones on the
cage, besides being very hard work. Now
he only pulls a lever and the skip is
loaded.
All the sinking of the shaft is done
by direct hoisting engines. capable of
sinking 1000 feet from one place. The
old wooden gallows frames have been
replaced with steel structures from GO
to 100 feet in height. the old frames
proving not strong enough for the new
service.
An important consideration in the
building of steel gallows frames, engine
houses, etc, was to guard against fire.
AS the steel frames are incombustible

believed Johnny would stand the ca
ress without kicking an ear off one of
them they would have hugged him.
Brainy lawyers, shrewd detectives and
all the other people necessary to the
conduct of case which must be won
were engaged.
In the district court of the territory
Of Idaho suit was brought by Cooper
&; Peck, who claimed an interest in the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan claims, bas-
ing their claims on Johnny. The case
was tried before Judge Norman Buck
and jury at Murray. The jury's YER
dict was that Cooper & Peck were en-
titled to no share in the property, the
jurymen thereby snubbng Johnny.
This verdict, however, did not stand.
Judge Buck declared it contrary to the
law and the facts, and, in the memor-
able words quoted in the foregoing, de-
cided that 1.-The Bunker Hill & Sullivan
was discovered by the jackass, Phil
ORourke and N. s. Kellogg"

Is more than one tail to Johnny, and
what follows is one of them.
Johnny was born in humble station
In youth he was prospectors beast of
burden. His early life was spent in
plodding toll his belly which swells SO
gracefully in the picture oft was atten-
uated and frequently kicked, while
about his body the diamond hitch was
thrown innumerable times. But for all
this Johnny's declining years were
spent in the elegant leisure the picture
represents him as enjoying Johnny
deserved this, for he had discovered an
$4,000, 900 mine.
Truly he did. If you don't believe II,
read what the learned Judge Norman
Buck of the district court of Idaho has
to say concerning him:
From the evidence of the witnesses
this court is of the opinion that the
Bunker Hill G. Sullivan was discovered
by the jackass, Phil O'Rourke and n,
S. Kellogg, and as the jackass is the
property of the plaintiffs. Cooper &
Peck, they are entitled to a half inter-
est in the Bunker Hill and quarter
interest in the Sullivan" and Johnny
is the jackass mentioned.
This being true, is it any wonder that
Johnny became a jackass of leisure in
his declining years and was given a
pension that supported him in luxury
at dainty little home at Forest Grove,
Ore? Look closely at the signature
on the pieture-"Matilda Lott, Oregon,
lSS1"-and you will learn it was in that
aristocratic home that Johnny was
painted.
Away back in 1885. just "A years ago,

lodes until the surface is washed off and
the gulches below the vein are also
washed for the sapphires contained
therein, the result of the elements NOV

and the sapphires it contained to the
gulches where the sapphires still re-

is exhausted, then 1t win be necessary
to sink shafts, run levels along the vein
and stope out the vein material con-
taining the sapphires, place it on the
surface during the winter to freeze and
slack, whenit can be easily washed and
the sapphires obtained. I predict that
this source will be the most productive
and profitable in the end and will short
stones. Then the water can be used for
placer mining for gold and yield an
additional profit to the owners"
In closing this description of the mine
and its working it is necessary to call
attention to the fact that this mine is
probably the only instance in the world
in the mining for precious gems where
the mother lode. has been discovered
and the stones taken directly from it.
In all other mining of this class the
stones are obtained from washings
from the mother lode, as in the history
of this mine the first stones were OBJ
tanned from the washings of this vein
slope.
Here's q New Stone.
Quite recently Mr.. Wells, in sorting
the product, has discovered what may
be termed new gem. 1t is a sapphire
and by daylight has the regulation
color dark blue. Placed under an cleo
trie or other artificial light, it changes
at once to a purple, or, more properly,
an amethyst color, and If anything is
more brilliant than its brother gems
So far as Mr.. Wells can learn these are
the only sapphires of their kind, hut
they are not well enough known to the
world as yet to command a larger
price or to fix any definite price upon
them. The company, at the request of
the American commissioners, is prepar-
ing to make large and beautiful ex-
hibit of their products in the National
exhibit at the Paris exposition.
In preparing this article the Stand
ard representative is largely indebted
to Mr.. George A. Wells, who placed
maps, reports and the like at his dis
posal, and was also kind enough to ex-
hibit to him large quantities of the
sapphireS, both cut and uncut and also
a number of specimens of the ordinary
Missouri river sapphires, useful in MAX
ing comparisons. Mr.. Dunn furnishes
the photographs, and also large
amount of information regarding the
history of the mine and the workings

I and there is no lumber above the shaft,
it necessarily follows that the mines
below ground cannot be endangered by
the burning of hosting works, which,
in the past, have resulted in SO many
fatalities.
Another branch that has undergone
great alterations is the boiler plants.
At present, the company has in mos.
places high pressure marine boilers.
Some have great self-supporting steel
stacks. or such stacks are under con-
struction. The boiler houses are con-
structed Of steel.
The company's air compressor plants,
taken together, are probably the larg-
est in the world, and of the latest pat
terri. All the machinery underground
is run by air. All the large under
ground pumps are furnished with air
instead of steam, as formerly, thereby
keeping the mines cool and comforta-

The blacksmith and machine shops
have the very latest tools for doing all
kinds of repair work in the shortest

The machinery has almost entirely
been designed by the company's engin-
eers and built at the foundry depart
ment of the A. C. NJ. company, located
a Anaconda, Montana, and to-day the
company is in condition to know what
is the most serviceable and the cheap

To this it may with propriety'b be add
ed that it has ever been the policy of the
Anaconda company to keep fully
abreast of the times, and never to rest
upon the principle of letting "well
enough alone"
Great as are advances and improve
ments already made, it may be safely
assumed that the future will observe
no halt in the advance.

Johnny looked on with approval
over night they discussed the mat

that if Cooper & Peck knew they had
used Johnny on the day of the location,
trouble might arise. So early in the
morning they went up to the claim,
tore down the location notice and post

samples to John NJ Burke, the well
known expert.

the rock Might be somewhere" he
added, in that quick, energetic tone so
| characteristic of him, but no good

time on this stuff
Cooper G. Peck shared Burkes view,
but Kellogg was not convinced. He
had faith in his find, like all true pros
pectors. The difference was so serious
that the grubstake partnership was
dissolved.
Meanwhile Johnny, the burro, was
wandering over the Occur d'Alenes,
skirmishing for his living. Kellogg. in
his hurry to get back to Wardner with
his samples had left Johnny unpicket-
ed in the hills, with which arrangement
Johnny was quite content. for the grass
was long and succulent and the supply
of water good.
In his grief at the rebuffs received
at the hands of John M. Burke and
Cooper Il Peck, Kellogg went to Muir
ray and hunted up his cid time partner,
Phil O'Rourke, a big-hearted Irishman,
20 years the junior of Kellogg, but a
shrewd miner, who had worked through
Colorado and knew a thing or two
about galena ores.
"Phere did yez get it?' asked
O'Rourke when Kellogg showed him
the samples of float "It is mighty
rich stool, I'm thinkin'."
Kellogg unburdened his heart while
ORourke whistled softly and fingered
the bits of galena curiously.
At this time O'Rourke was under a
grubstake agreement with Goetz &
Baer of Occur d'Alene-"Dutch Jake"

and the sapphire claims, but two

| in Spokane. The very day that Kellogg
found him o'Rourke had returned with
Dutch Jake from a trip to the hills.
The upshot of the conference betwe IN
Kellogg and ORourke was that
O'Rourke's hackers were told of Kel-
logg's find. t
Go and get it. boys" said Dutch
Jake, when O'Rnprke. in whose ability
he had faith, explained to him the rich
ness of the bit of rock Kellogg held
and the possibilities of the ledge from
whence ii came. Jake, on behalf of
Goetz & Baer, supplied the two pros
pectors and started them off the follow
ing morning, carrying their supplies on
their backs.
For week they trudged up hill and
down dale, their packs seeming to
weigh more every hour. 1t was heart
breaking work.
IF we only had Johnny now" sighed
Kellogg. Hes a contrary little brute,
but he can pack"
And just as he said these words he
looked up and there stood Johnny be-
fore him with that same patient, in
quiring look in his eyes that one sees
in his picture. Johnny was standing
in the gulch at the mouth of Milo creek,
where the town of Kellogg now stands,
and 1t was up this gulch that Kellogg
was about to go when Johnny barred
his way.
enthusiasm. Come here, me fine
bucko. All ha, what a darlin' We are.
So. now, steady there. An we won't
pack no more"
But it's Cooper & Peck's burro,"
demurred Kellogg.
An what's that to us?" said
O'Rourke. Sure. isn't the haste lost
like up here, forgettin' all he liver knew
about packin. and becomin' so fat that
he'll be no good at all, at all? Why,
we're savin' Cooper & Peck's property
for 'em, sure We are. Off wild yer pack
now, an pile it on here alongside
mine"
And SO Johnny's holiday was over.
He grunted regretfuily as his load was
bound tightly upon his back, then ac-
cepted the situation with burro-like
meekness.
But presently Johnny was not so
meek. They had come to a parting of
the ways, where Big creek came in
Kellogg wanted to go up the gulch of
Big creek, as it was up there he had
found his iron and galena, while John
ny was equally determined not to fol-
low any such course, but to proceed
up Milo creek.
Come on, Johnny" pleaded kellogg,
but Johnny planted his slender little
fore legs and refused to come on.
o'Rourke stood by laughing at his
partners difficulty. Hold ON, now,
Kellogg said he finally "Mebbe the
mule knows what he's about Hasn't
he been prospectin' by himself around
here? You go on up your gulch an
I'll go with Johnny"
So they separated, Johnny and
0'Rour6e going up Milo creek and Kel-
ogg up Big creek.
It was hard climbing for O'Rourke

TWO and a half miles from the south
'ork he threw himself on the grass TO
'est. Johnny went nibbIing at the
grass about him, paving now and then

scratching he sent a piece of float ga

who accepted $4,000 cash, and the
mine was sold
Seventy-six thousand dollars for one

eyes! That was pretty good, wasn't
ii?
Jim Wdrdner cleared up 500, 060 on
the deal. Phil O'Rourke got about
Sl60,000 cash. N. S. Kellogg obtained
$4,000 cash and a big block of stock
Con" Sullivan's share was SOS, 600. and
Goetz & Baer drew down 5000, ,OeO cash.
OF all who benefited by Johnny's
lucky strike, Kellogg was the most
grateful to the little burro. He Sc
cured Johnny for his very own, shipped
him down to Forest Grove, Ore, and
there had him made comfortable for
his old age, stipulating that Johnny
should never work again. So Johnny
lived unto a ripe old age in the enjoy
ment of a monthly pension more than
sufficient for his wants. How he
waxed fat and dignified is best told by
the picture.
