BUSY BURCL ARS
Entered Samuel Hubar's Jow-.
 elry Store Last Night.
SCARED BY OFFICER SULLIVAH

The Burglars Secured Watches, Brace
 lets, Chains and q Fine Mandolin
 The Goods Were Taken Through the
 Front Window of the Store-No Clue
 to Burglars.
 Burglars made a big haul on South Main street last night and, had it not been for the presence of Police Officer Michael Sullivan they would have done much better, and Samuel Huber, who conducts. a jewelry store at 121 South Main street, just d little north of Nugent's pharmacy, would be obliged to go into insolvency, for in all probability the boys would not have left dollars worth in his store if they had not been scared away: About Il o'clock, when the officer went to try the Tear door which opens onto Brook street he found il unlocked and lit- tie investigation showed that it had been opened by some parties with 8 view to burglarizing the place. 0Se of the lights of glass in the door had been removed, the shutter forced in | and the key turned in the door, so that the whole place was at the mercy of those who planned the job and it Is 8 wonder that they did not get away with more of the stock. The officer reported the facts to Sergeant Pagan and then search was commenced for the proprietors, who were finally To- cated on Hawkins street, where they I removed from Vine street quite re- gently. -.s-. stz | When MT Huber called at tSa place
 ana saw what had happened he was | wlld with rage at the idea of seeing
 the door broken, but when he missed
 few hundred dollars worth of his
 goods then his indignation knew no | bounds, and no wonder, for the man is
 said to be hard worker and was just l building up little business there. l After going over the stock he missed
 various articles, among them being the | following: One dozen solid silver
 bracelets. valued at S1 each; three 1 dozen ladies chains, ranging in price I from $4.5O to SS apiece: one mandolin,
 market price SIP; watch and chain, 1 price $6.T5; watch. price S4 .95.
 some of the articles were taken out 1 of the window fronting on South Main 1 street. right in the glare of the electric l lights, where the thieves could have | been seen from the street without any
 trouble. The others were picked up I at random from the show case. It is | belieyed that whoever was on the 1n- ]. side had some one on the lookout for
 the police. who gave the alarm when l he saw Officer Sullivan coming along.
 and the fellow on the inside then made
 good his escape Before the officer
 reached the door It could not have
 occurred in any other way, for it is cer-
 taint that there was no one in the place
 when the officers entered It was a
 daring deed. and while the police are
 after the burglars it l>oubtful if they
 will succeed in catching them.

Mr.. Regain has been In the country

Writing OF the Rossand district, Fl.
Mortimer-Lamh says a daily output OF
thousand tons. including Sundays, Is stu
being maintained from Rossland, not
wfthstanding that the Center Star ship
mcnts OF 1889 tons this lsst week was
somewhat below that OF the week be-
fore. But the lie Roi's output Of 4S27
tons. and the very fair production OF 504
tons from the Le Rot No. @ make an
excellent showing In the weekly returns.
Shipments from lie Roi No. ?. however.
would be very considerably heavier II the
transport facilities were adequate. but
the number of cars supplied on the rail-
way Is quite insufficient to accommodate
the fun output OF the properties OF the
lie Roi companies. Thus. at the lie Roi
itself. three tons OF ore were last week
broken down TO every ton shipped. and
the consequence is that both here and
at the other mines II is impossible to
keep thf sill floors OF the slopes free.
The building OF the lie Roi sampler Is
now In progress. and OF course. when
these works are completed the situation
Will be greatly improved At the Center
Star the main shaft IL being carried down
below tho fourth level and sinking to
the eighth level and prospecting with a

he IN a position to begin the earning OF
profits.
AT all the big mines proper precautions
are being taken to guard against acct
dents. In this connection Mr.. McGregor.
the Inspector, who visited Rossland the
other day, paid particular attention to
the safety of the clutches on the cages
at the Center Star mine. which are sup
posed to act In case OF break In the
cable. For his OBLIGATION the wire cable
was removed and the cage suspended by
a hempen rope with about Atty feet slack
upon the drum of the hoisting engine
The rope was suddenly cut. with the re-
suit that tho clutches acted at once and
the released cage did not drop more
than one inch. The management repeat
ed the experiment at the War Eagle with
similar results.
