at greatly reduced expense.
Inside OF thirty days the Mountain
Lion will demonstrate what kind or

This mill will treat 5000 tons of ore a
month that should average 80 per ton,
or q gr0GS value OF $bU,Vu. Inc trehtHenI
charges will be less than "a per ton, or
an expense of $4,000 for the thirty days
run. Add to this the cost of labor. re-
pairs and other incidental expenses. say
$4,000 more, making the total expense
81, 900, and $4,000 should be netted month
ly for dividend purposes. These figures
are conservative, as 1t Is thought the
property will be able to pay at least
S35,000 month In dividends after a few
months experience.
The profits to mine owners of such prop
critics as the Lone Pine-Surprise, San
Poll, Black Tail. Princess Maud. Morning
Glory. Quilp. Jim Blaine, Tom Thumb
and dozens of others that can easily pro-
duce ore that will average $12 per ton. will
add quite a sum to the profit volume Of
the camp once the new mills are running.
Should the custom mill turn out 100 tons
daily from these outside mines at a profit
OF even S. per ton net to the owners, the
total net returns would be $21 900 for
thirty days run. Add this amount to the
$4,000 of the Republic and the Mountain
Lion. and the total estimate of the month
ly output to be divided from the profitable
treatment of Republic ores during the ap-
preaching season would be $91,0 600 When
the mills are in operation and the mines
are working full forces, LOCO men will be
employed.

Former Lower End Resident May An
nounce Himself as a Candidate.
A number of his intimate friends are
trying to induce p. M. Boyle, of Kings
ton, to become an aspirant for the
Democratic nomination for clerk OF the
courts. Mr. Boyle would certainly
make a desirable candidate for the
people of the lower end, he having resid-
ed in the Fourth district over thirty
years and was always popular with the
people. He never before had any poll
tical aspirations, his ambition seeking a
different direction.
We know of no one in the county
more deserving than MIR. Boyle. He
was always found assisting his party
nominees at every election. He was
not Democrat for 1863 days in the
year, but added the two election days as
well, and those two days were always
the hardest days he worked in the
interest of his party, and with no re-
muneration whatever.
Mr.. Boyle is personally known to
hundreds of voters here, and the placing
of his name on the ticket would be only
small recognition of his services 10

and into the cellar. The stray animal
walked to section where baskets of
fruit were displayed. Here he created
havoc by knocking the baskets to the
floor.
BY this time the clerks summoned
courage and drove the animal out of the
place into shed on the opposite side of
the street. He was only in for minute
until he reeled over and was dead. 1t
is supposed that he suffered rush of
blood to the brain, by a vein bursting.

FARMER BEATEN.
Three Men Attack Him and Leave Him
Unconscious on the Road.


A daring hold-up, which may result
in murder, occurred Wednesday night
on the public road between Hunlocks
and Shickshinny. While John Bankes,
of Huntington township, was returning
to his home from market he was stopped
in lonely spot by three men and
ordered to hand over his money. He
refused and showed fight, but was
struck over the head in the scuile
which followed and was. rendered un-
conscious. His body was dragged into
the brush along the road and his pock-
cts rifled.
An eight-year-old son who had been
asleep in the rear of the wagon on
awakening and realizing what was
taking place escaped and made his way
back to the nearest farm house. A
posse was quickly formed and was
guided back by the boy. The team was
found tied along the road and the body
near on the opposite side. The body
was brought to Hunlocks, where on
examination it was fonnd that the skull
was crushed and small hopes are enter
tanned for his recovery.
The authorities have no clue as yet,
but it is thought it was the work of
tramps, as the road skirts the D. L. and
w. Railroad at that place.

THE mules harness broke too easily,

the witnesses told Coroner Roberts, of
Lackawanna county, at the inquest on
the body of Patrick Murray, of Scran-
ton, who was ground to death by the
wheels of heavy gondola at colliery

The coroner's jury rendered verdict
censurng the company for placing such
a low estimate on the lives of breaker
boys as to utilize them for heavy
draught purposes.

Foster school directors met last even

application of Harry Maue, of Hazleton,
for the vacant position at Halle Brook
school, was withdrawn. A ballot was
then taken and resulted in the unani-
nous choice of Vincent Highams, of
Sandy Run, as teacher.
The appointment will undoubtedly
please the people of the township, as
Mr.. Highams is a native OF Foster and
was looked upon by the taxpayers as
having better claim to the position
than any outside teacher.
