MINING CAMP TRICKS.
one Instance where a Scheme Work.
ed the Wrong Way.


There is a great deal that is out Of
the ordinary in mining" said Samuel
Mott of Boise City, Ida. although
think from personal experience it is
probably more so in the relation than
in the actual happening. In every
mining camp have known there
have always been charges that those
working a vein had gone through into
the next claim in taking out the ore,
and consequently We're taking out
what wasn't theirs. These claims it
was always difficult to substantiate,
for the reason that the offender, of
course, would not allow the offended to
enter his workings, and without sur
vey it would be impossible to make out
case. Every subterfuge and excuse
| possible was resorted to to get into a
suspected mine
Il remember one case in an apex of
vein suit. where the workings had
been temporarily shut down and man
called Johnny Come Lately heavily
armed was on guard The other side
had tried again and again to get by
'Johnny,' but had always failed, when
one man, who knew that Johnny was
an enthusiastic hunter, hired an ac-
quaintance of his to stroll by with a
gun over his arm and to engage John.
ny in a conversation about bar. II
worked to charm, and while he was
! thus engrossed they managed to slip
in and survey the mine.
s'Then there was the case of the
Last Chance against the Tyler. In this
case the workings happened to run to-
! gether, and the Last Chance people
were working the same vein from I'M
derneath that the Tylor owners were
working from on top. Knowing they
would sooner or later break through
the Tyler people prepared smudge-
| that is, saturated cordwood that woulC
give forth a tremendous smoke which
| they hoped. would drive the Last
Chance people out of their mine. But
| when they finally set it off it went the
other way and made the Tyler work
ings absolutely untenable. Indeed three
of the miners were overcome and were
rescued only with great difficulty. -

Seattle Trade Journals Summing Up
the Salmon Situation.

The situation prevailing among the
fishermen and in the salmon market In
the Northwest is viewed as follows by
the Seattle Trade Journal:
Late advices from the down Sound
canneries report very few sockeyes
caught. those getting any only operat-
ing an hour or two. Some persistent
reports are to the effect that the run
so far indicates a return Of Baker lake
Matched fish. but the Trade Register
notes that none Of the so-called Baker
lake salmon are marked. and moreover
the run is very small so far and. there
fore. in itself indicates no profitable
hatchery work. 1t is hoped that next
week will show a greater run. though
at this time last year the Trade Regis
ter reported heavy runs OF soekeyes in
Rosario straits. and in its issue follow
ing reported pack OF 100000 cases.
A -towed floating trap is being ex-
perimentaily used this season.
~on the Columbia river the reports
OF a light run continue.
"on July on the Columbia s cents
was offered by one or two buyers for
fsh over 20 pounds. Some steelheads
are running in small numbers and 5
cents is reported paid by the cold stor-
age men.
The usual activity among Alaska
canneries Is noted. but no extensive
specific reports Of the packs are at
hand. The canneries about Wrangle
had made a good pack to July 3. the
Klawack cannery having put up $40
cases on a one-day's run. C. A. Hid
