Train Wreck Near VOllmer.

A disastrous train wreck occurred on
Bear Greek, between Vollner and Ken
drick, Thursday morning. The regular
freight south bound, was precipitated in
to the canyon by the giving away of an
embankment The melting snow aud
subsequent rain had softened the ground
so that the weight of the train caused a
landslide, which carried with it the en-
CINE, tender and four cars TO the creek
100 feet below.
Engineer Frank Lemon was instantly
killed, his head being crushed almost of
by being caught between parts of the Ell,
CINE and tender. Engineer Mathew
Rowlson was fatally injured. His body
was crushed by the overturned engine
He was rescued and removed to Vollmer
where he died after suffering intense ag
any.
Both men were taken to Spokane fo

The Silc0tt Case.

The Silcott condemnation suit was con
olpded in the district court last Wednes-
dav The Judge charged the jury at 5
o'clock in the evening and the jury ar
lived at verdict at 1890. The amount
Of dannage. was fixed at $500.
This case was watched with good
deal of interest by a large class of the
nublic Mr.. Silcott has host of friends
a,d his home is land mark. 1t has
always been regarded as valuable
nronerty. When it was learned that al
most all of the trees, buildings and
fences were demanded by the railroad
for right of way and for depot grounds
the fact caused regret.
And the generally expressed opinion
of those who know the place best and
know the value the pioneer owner placed
upon his dandiwork preserved in the
home he had built for a retreat i'll old
age is that the verdict was not just one
that it was too small by half.

A Pierce City Mine.

The Mascot Gold Mining and Milling
company report the recent strike of their
large blanket ledge, which was found by
running crosscut tunnel for distance
of about eighty feet The ledge has
straighted under the ground so that
1t is known to go down, and il is four feet
wide and consists of solid gold ore be-
tween the walls, The ledge was tapped
at distance of forty feet below the
surface, and it is widening as depth is
gained. This assures the permanency of
the mine. The company has a large
amount of surface ore, which will aver
age $50 per ton in the blanket portion of
the vein in free milling ore and concern
trates. Commentators are now beiug add
ing added to the stamp mill, which is
already III place. Arrangements are be
ing made to staIt the mill as soon as the
snow goes off. The Bimetallic group will
be among, the large dividend paving
mines this summer, as both the blanket
and the ore under ground can be work ed
at the same time.
The mines of this company are i'll the
Pierce City district, n miles north OF
Pierce City, on Gold creek. Cansidera-
development work has been done on this
property, twenty-five men being kept al
work last year during favorable weather
and few men all winter, The property
is fully paid for, including the mine
water-right and mill.

Big Buffalo alright.

Il l.. 7. McAtee, the well-known mining
man, returned from Buffalo Hump yes
terday.
Asked whether there were any rumors
current i'll camp conce raing the shutting
down Of the Big Buffalo group. Mr.
McAtee said that there was no report OF
the kind at the Hump for the very good
reason that nothing of the kind had
taken place.
Questioned as to the statement that
the ore had decreased in value as the
shaft descended in value at the Big
Buffalo, the mining man said the state
ment was certainly not made around the
camp as positive knowledge prevailed
there that the re verse was the case.
Where did you first strike the rumors
referred tor 81 heard nothing of any OF
this said Mr.. McAtee, 'Until l reached

The Seven Devils Mines.

The chief mines of the district are cop
per; the ores are dominated peacock ores
from being of peacock blue color.
They also carry silver and gold in combi-
nation with copper. In the Peacock
mine an enormous body of ore has been
uncovered by the action of the water in
a small stream directed upon it. The
lowest estimate of the ore uncovered is
Is, 900 tons, of which so,coo will yield 40
per cent of copper, and $4,000 rs per
cent; 100000 pounds of copper and
valued at 10 cents per pound would yield
production of $s,2oo,ooo. There Is
said to be sufficient territory to locate
1000 good mines. Aladdin and his
wonderful lamp sinks into insigniicance
beside such figures as these. There are
at present about 200 claims located.
The principal group of mines is the
Peacock. consisting of the old Peacock
mine, the Confidence, Bodie, Standard
South Peacock and Copper Key.
The Seven Devils range of mountain:
IS about 90 or 40 miles in length and !:

Mining as an Industry.

Despite its load of fraudulent claims
and wildcat schems, the mining industry
has paid more money in dividends, COM
pared with other industries started in
the last thirty years, than any business
known, saws the New York Tribune
Compare the profits i'll mining with the
profits on the I56, 900 odd miles of rail-
road, with the aggregate liabilities of
nearly $40 ,ooo, 900 900 then You will say
which pays the most,
Under the wings of mining there exists
some of the safest and most profitable of
| all business. Take, for instance, the IL
great smelling companies, the mineral
pawnbrokers, The smelling companies
that do strictly custom business show
absolutely and unqueslionably the largest
profits of ony industry in America.
know of instances where capital invest
ed in smelling companies has been turn
ed five times year, and each time the
margin of profit has been over 20 per
cent of the entire amount handled
They take no risk; simply buy the raw
gold and silver in the ore at reduced
price, extract their cost of treatment and
paw the miner the residue. 1t is a bust
ness where the principal is absolutely
safe.
All of these things shonld show tn
people the value of mining. OF late i
has come about that if mining mai
presents an enterprise to conservative
capital he is looked upon with suspicion
and no assistance is rendered him. TIL
investor fails to realize that the yer.
sinews of commerce come from tn
mines and that they are the root of tn
successful industries of this country
Last year, notwithstanding the fact tha
capital gave very little assistance to til
mining industry, there was steady
healthy increase of prosperity OF tn
many millions produced from the mine

The Nezperce Shooting ARRAY.

Charles Cox, of Nez Perez, was in the
city Thursday night He is friend of
the Linke family, and is familiar with the
circumstances of the tragedy of last
Tuesday. The tragedy occurred near
Russell on the homestead, for which the
Dixon and the I4inkes have been con-
tending since 1896, and not in Nezperce,
as the reports first indicated, q
The contest case has passed through
the courts and the local land office. In
the courts Dixon scored victory, and in
the land Office Alvin Linke, the father OF
the young man who was shot, secured
the decision. The case is now on appeal
TO the commissioner of the general land
Office.
The decision of the local land Office
gave Mr.. Linke legal possession of the
land of which he had been deprived by a
decree of ejectment, issued out of
Judge Piper's court some time before.
Armed with this legal right to posses
SION Linke proceeded to cultivate the
land. Dixon also occupied the land.
The decision of the land Office did not
dispossess either of the contestants.
Mr. Linke had broken forty acres of
sod, and went into the fieldt to sow same in
grain last Tuesday Allie Linke, the az
year-old son was driving the team. A
i2-year-old son and hired man also ac-
eompanied the elder Iinke to the field.
levi Dixon met the party at the gate
way and ordered them to desist from SOW
ing the grain. No attention was paid to the
ordsrs, As the young man drove the
team forward Dixon caught one of the
horses by the bride with one hand
drew a revolver with the other and opened
IRE upon the driver. After the third sho'
Allie l.inke fell down in the wagon.
The father, thinking his son was killed
rushed upon Dixon, who turned the CUR
upon him. The last shot was fired afte
the frenzied father had closed in upoI
Dixon, and the gun was knocked out 0
range as the last charge in the revolve
was fired.
The wounded man was taken to Nez
perez After a nasty examination it wa
believed that the wounds would prov
'atal. Two of the bullets penetrated tn
young mans leg and third entered TIL
groin, which it was believed would prov
fatal.
DIXON was arrested upon warran
issued by Justice Langford and he wa
ned under guard when Mr.. Cox lei
Nezperce. Excitement ran high for
while but when word was received tha
Young isinke would recover quiet wa
restored.
District Attorney Danford who is Ell
gagged in the trial OF criminal cases befor
Tue district court could not go in persol
- attend to the states interests in tn
examination of Dixon. He therefor
appointed Miles S Johnson TO act as hi
aepaty and Mr.. Johnson conducted til
case which it is supposed was tried toda,
