MINESAND MINING
DEVELOPMENT WORK ON ST. PAUL

Messrs. Cowell. Shannahan and Rate.
kin, h have been doing assessment
work IN the St. PAUL and St. Louis
claims, which are located in Snowshoe
gulch about a half mile below the mouth
of the main working tunnel on the
SnOwshOe mine, have returned to Libby
and report that the properties are look
ing fine, says the Libby News. These
claims are located on the same lead, the
principal work having been done on the
st. Paul, which is lower down the
mountain han the St. Louis. On the
the st. Paul they have two tunnels in.
the upper one about so feet and the lower
one about ITO feet. Both unnels are in
ore. and the lower tunnel, in which they
have been doing the work referred to,
the formations getting harder and there
is more of a continuity of the ore body.
soft and the ore has been found more In
punches. Some very good assays have
been obtained from ore taken from this
claim. Nothing but representation work
has been done On the st. Louis.
These claims are admirably located
] lance from the Snowshoe road to Libby
| and the mountain Is so steep that nearly
| a foot for foot Is obtained In driving the
| tunnel. They are owned by the three
gentlemen named above and Messrs
| Ed. Michaud and Murray. 1t is the in
tention OF the, owners to again com
mence doing development work in TIN

will not have to go much farther befor'
they will be able to make shipments
It is a promising prospect and tn
best results from it are most con

largely in lead, carrying both gold an
silver, and the ledge is about four fee

General BuIIer and the spssa.

the late General Benjamin F. But

stopped the former from making

vanquished, but as the scene Of the

CRASHED rnRoudH fhk ROOF.

Falls. Doing Damage.

This morning at 4:45 o'clock the
south wall of the old three story
stone Wisnor hotel building gave
way under the gale blowing from
the north and the massive stones
fell in upon the roof of the one
story brick building adjoining,
crashing to the floor and doing a
vast deal of damage. The dam
aged building was occupied by w.
H. Rice, who used it as restau-
rant. Fortunately the crash came
fifteen minutes before Mr.. Rice's
rising time, which accounts for his
fortunate escape. Besides Mr.. Rice
and family there were nineteen beds
in the building. all of which were
occupied. The front part of the
roof was bursted through, and this
morning the chairs, tables, dishes
and heating stove are broken TO
pieces and lie inundated beneath
a mass of stone, mortar aud roof
composition. The brick building
is the property of J. b. Spragins
aud was not insured against acci-
dents. Damage to the building
will amount to $500.
Mr.. Rice's business is suspended
aud he estimates his damage al
$50.
The ruins this morning provoked
many Il told you SOS" from the
passers-by. The city council came
in for their share of the blame
along with the owners of the hote
walls.
These walls have been known tC
be dangerous since the morning o.
the fire that destroyed the hotel
and tie duty of tearing them dowI
at that time devOlved either upoI
the owners of the walls or upol

someone is at fault and those wht
lost in this mornings crash will
expect damages, either by com
promise or suit at law.

acres of land to B. f. frensiey -
agricultural land. the lease became
void on the first day Of january, |
1900. by operation Of said zSra
section of the act before mentioned,
so that neither Frensley nor Ad-
kins had any interest thereafter in
said land. Il was from and after
that date tribal land, unencumoer'
ed by the lease, and the improve
ments thereon would seem to be-
long to the persons who placed
them there, and even il the section
above mentioned were not srff-
cient to Of itself terminate the
lease, admitting that one existed.
nevertheless section Is, above
quoted, which Of itself would pro-
hibit Adkins from receiving any
rents for the land. would have that
effect and the land would unques-
tionably be considered purely as
tribal land in no manner embar-
rassed by the terms of the afore-
said alleged lease.
From the above statement OF
facts and quotations from the law,
it is clear to my mind that neither
Mr.. Frensley nor the receiver tor
| Mr.. Adkins has any interest what
ever in any portion Of the land
attempted to be described in the
petition of the receiver, but that
the same is tribal land. and that
the proceeds which arise from the
sale thereof will necessarily be
, turned into the tribal funds to be
accounted for as other tribal mon
, eys are accounted for. This being
, true, it is apparent that no cause
of action has been stated, and that
your action in dismissing the con-
test was correct. In addition TO
this, however, it is noted that no
person is made defendant. and that
the plaintiff attempted to file an
omnibus bill without defining or
mentioning any defendant what
: ever, and while it might be pos
sible that such bill or petition
could be amended, it is not OF
E itself sufficient on which to base a
2 contest. For the above reasons,
your decision is affirmed. subject,
however. to the right of appeal,
, of which you will notify Mr.. Ne
Neish or his attorneys, either per
