some fine specimens of ore from the Guy

Quite little excitement has been
created by recent finds in this district.
and experts representing w. A. Clark
We're over last week. and We're so we'll
pleased with the outlook that they OPP
toned IS claims in the district. and it
seems that what many enthusiastic pros
pectors and old mining men have been
predicting for years, that this will prove
rich mining district, is about to be
realized.
The warm springs at the head of
Grasshopper and near the mines, have
been attracting many visitors this sum-
mer. Mr.. Carhartt says there were some
40 people there when he visited them
recently. They are becoming noted for
the curative properties Of the water.
There can be no doubt that this is to
become wealthy mining district in the
near future, even a second Butte, as
some now confidently predict.

WILL WORK NON-UNlON MEN
Strike Among the Miners at Ross
land Assuming a Serious
Form

1.-The darkest days during the strike
at Rossland are over" said H. J. Earn
est, who returned last evening from a
trip to the Kootenay mining camp. says
the Spokane Review.
The management Of the LIE Roi group
has determined to start the mines again,
and there seems no doubt that the deter
mination will be carried out. Albert
Geiser who has taken contract to
work the mines. will start a crew Of 20
men tomorrow morning in the Josie. 1t
is expected that when two or three of
the smaller properties have been started
the crews will be transferred to the lie
Roi. and mining in the premier property
of the camp will be again pushed.
Mr.. Geiser has a margin of three
months in which to start work in the LIE
Roi itself. and he is laying his plans care
fully. He has a man travelling over the
Canadian Pacific getting hold of men.
If any trouble should arise through the
alien labor law in getting Americans to
go to work the contractors will bring out
a full crew of miners from eastern Cam
ada.
Mr.. Geiser conferred today with the
miners union at Rossland in regard to
having union miners work for him in
the mines. The union rejected his pro-
posals."

TURNER AND HIS SHOTGUN
It Is Said He Suspended Work on the
Red Chief Mine With the
Weapon.

The Red Chief mine, under the new
company and management, is running
along nicely, and recently they doubled
their crew in the underground apart
ments, says the Gallatin County Repub-
lican. We understand that the Red
Bluff mine started last week under the
management of Austin, as superintend-
emf. but before the wheels got fairly
started the former superintendent, G. D.
B. Turner, was on hand, carrying a
heavily loaded shotgun, and demanded
a prompt settlement from the company
in which he (Turner) claims $4,000 as the
amount due him from said company. Mr..
Austin at once shut down the hum Of in
dustry and hied himself away for Cana
dian headquarters, and later wired back
that the Red Bluff mine would be run
ming full blast by the first of September
at the latest.

MINES and MINING :=:::~ IIN| THE NORTHWEST

they We're reasonably certain of learn
ing how the terrors of seasckness could
be averted.
The object Of the League Against Sea-
sickness is to bring together all those
who are interested in the subject OF
seasickness as a result of having had
practical experience in that line and
who want to be rendered immune for
all time.
The Matin remarks that the French
man who has once had seasickness will
never travel on the perfidious element
again as long as he can travel on land
and that this explains the lack of colo
NAL development on the part of the
French and some of the difficulties eX-
perienced by that nation in it's rela
with other countries.
The Ligue Contre lie Nal de Mer is
hopeful of being able to do something
practical with this malady. which is sc
regularly made a subject of ridicule on
land, but which is sometimes such a Sc
rious matter on board ship that the
victims would like to be thrown into the
sea.
The secretary of the Ligue has opened
a general correspondence on this vital
topic. and letters are coming in by the
thousands. From the tone OF the ma
jorty of these letters it will be possible
to ascertain under what conditions sea-
sickness is developed in the majority of
persons, and consequently definite
problem can be proposed for solution.
For example. one will know wheth-
err or not it is advisable to eat heartily
before embarkng. and what kind of
food must be taken. 1t is evident that
if among a thousand persons who have
eaten before embarking there is found
to be a greater number of cases of sea-
sickness than among the same num-
Der of persons who have not eaten, the
main part of the question will have al
ready been answered.
AS soon as the Ligue has a sufficient
number of adherents to constitute a
strong moral force" it will endeavOr
to bring to bear pressure that will
low the elementary rules of hygiene in
the matter of table fare. 1t will also give
it's support to the inventors of suspension
apparatus that are intended to coun-
teract the motion Of vessels.
The "Ligue Contre lie Nal de Mer"
may never be able to discover a way of
totally preventing seasickness, but it
may be able to so direct and instruct
people in hygienic methods that an ocean
voyage will cease to be the martyrdom
that it now is for those who are poor
sailors. Paris Edition New York
