An erroneous impression prevails
concerning the life of districts and
cities founded upon mines producing
precious metals and copper, the public
generally entertaining the mistaken
notion that there is no permanancy to
such communities. This impression
has been formed from the fact that,
scattered throughout the mining states,
many little towns have sprung up, bas-
ed on the fame of uncertain realities
of single rich mine, which towns, aft
er shining for brief time like me-
teors, have faded from the view of the
press and public, though they may con-
tinue to exist for years as thriving lit
tie villages. Bue it is different with
the great mining cities. Capitalists
who are now sending large sums to be
invested in mines, do not send men to
mining district with a placard on
their backs stating, in substance, 81
represent millionaires who want to buy
mines" Rather, they employ men of
discreet tongue and behavior, who
know how to get ''up against the real
thing"-a truly great mine.
1t is reported that petroleum has been
found on spring water short distance
above Northport, and the ground is to
be prospected with diamond drill for
more of the stuff.
The accountants department of the
! Standard mine is to be moved from
Wallace to the Office of Finch & Camp
bell in Spokane. This will mean the
+ transfer of two of the Wallace staff to
that city.
The crosscut tunnel on the Fortune

being pushed forward in anticipation
of this, and the strike is expected to be
made within few days.
What is believed to be one OF the
best gold strikes ever made in the Bal
sley-Elkhorn district, which lies about
16 miles to the northwest of Baker City
was discovered a day or two ago by
Jeff Boyle and his chum, Howard. The
strike was reported here yesterday by
Mr.. Boyle. 1t was made on the Bats
ley-Elkhorn and Pocahontas Belle
mines.
Since Thomas r. Kinds filed his suit
at Butte against the Boston & Montana
company for 100000 for his services
as receiver for their properties people
have been wondering what valuation
| the Boston & Montana company would
put on his services. They found out
this week when the company filed its
answer and objections stating that his
services were worth an even $50, and
that his assistant, who wanted $4,000,
earned $40. They admit that Kinds
took possession of the properties on
April Sth and kept possession until
April 10, when the supreme court made
him give it up, just six days. The
company also denies that Mr.. Kinds
life was at any time in danger. Their
answer is decidedly crushing, and they
handle Mr.. Kinds without gloves.

and of going that afternoon to Mrs.
Ephriam Sells house to meet her father
and his attorneys. This was the family
council at which the separation was de-
cided upon. Florence said she had not
slept well on the night before. There
seemed something ominous in the air
and she was restless all night.
When she reached the home of her
aunt she and her father had a, talk, and
she decided to return no more to her
mother. This was the first time Florence
had told her father of the conduct of her
mother.
While at Mrs. Ephriam Sells Florence
received a telephone message from her
mother who asked her to come home,
but she refused. Her mother also asked
her to explain about the bicycle, but she
refused, and her mother rang off.
Florence said she had a talk one night
with her mother about Bolts visits. She
told her mother that Botu's visits would
only lead to trouble and a separation.
Her mother broke down, cried and prom
ised Florence that she would cast Bott
off and never receive him again. She
told Florence that she was an migrate
full girl to talk so to her mother and
said she should remember all she had
done for her. Florence begged and plead
ed, and at last her mother said she
would not let Bott in the house again.
But, said Florence, in sad, mourn
full tone, "the next night he was in my
mothers room again.
AS Florence spoke these words she
was overcome by her emotions and COM
PEELED to pause for some time. Mrs
Sells was also much affected by her
daughters story, and seemed to have
trouble in pressing back the tears.
Florence said that when the PROPOSE
tiOn was made to her that she take the
blame of the BOtt bicycle episode she in
dignantly refused to have anything to
do with the affair. Florence said that
her mother told her that this trouble
which was coming on was some of the
work of Dennis Kelley the enemy f,f

refused. Her mother told her that Ly-
ons was a nice fellow, who would be
glad to do anything for her.
The attorney for the plaintiff was
reaching the end of the examination and
there seemed to be something in the air
which told of some sensation yet to
come. In deep silence was the court

room as Attorney Peters asked the clos
ing questions for the plaintiff The
daughter did not appear to be in as deep
emotion as the mother, whose breast was
rising and falling as she attempted to
repress her sobs. There were but two
more questions to ask and they were:
O. Prior to speaking to your father
about the separation, as you term 1t, had
you ever spoken to any one else about
any unbecoming conduct in your moth
er?
A. 1 had.
O. Why had you never spoken to your
father about the conduct that you OBJ
served on the part of your mother prior
to that 25th day of November, 1899, when
you met him at Hester Sells residence?
A. When 1 was title girl was
brought up with the idea not to tell my
father, and when I grew old enough to
realize what it meant dreaded to bring
this out. I hated a separation; I didn't
want to see our home broken up. was
afraid Of the tragedy. 1 knew my faith
er'S love for my mother and I hated to
break his heart and break our home and
/ dreaded it.
Attorney Peters said: tYour honor, we
here rest" Mrs. Sells was sitting in her
chair, her head bowed upon her hand,
and sobs were shaking her body. The
witness had given the last answer in a
firm voice and did not cast her eyes
toward her mother. The aged mother
and grandmother sat close to the side
of her daughter, with tears streaming
court room, except for the sobs of the
mother. Florence sat quietly in her chair,
awaiting the beginning of the cross-eX-
animation. The dramatic climax Of the
trial had come Slowly Col. Holmes,
leading counsel for the defense, rose to
his feet.
He moved so as to face the daughter
in the witness chair. He looked at her a
moment, and then, in voice full of sad
ness, as he turned his eyes to where his
client sat with bowed head and shaking
with the violence of emotion, he said:
@. Miss Sells, your mother requests me
not to cross-examine her daughter, but
I wish to ask you six questions. Have
you been living with your father since
the separation of Saturday. the 25th OF
November, 1899?
