A HARDER GAME THAN POKER.
Chris Larsen Is Up Against It to the
Extent Of $5OO-Buck-
ed me Tiger.


Chris Larsen was tried in Justice Shep-
herds court yesterday on a charge of
gambling and found guilty. Today the
justice fined him $500.
Three nights ago Larsen, George
Schultz and John Madison were caught
playing poker in Foren & McGann's sa-
loon in South Main street, and others
would have been caught had it not been
for the alicrity with which they vacated
the setting. Madison was tried separate
ly, but the witnesses could not say posi-
lively that he was playing at the game
although he occupied chair convenient
ly near the table. He was discharged
Larsen pleaded his own case, but he had
the worst of it from the start. as there
were several witnesses who said they had
seen him handling chips and money in
the game.
The charges of gambling preferred
against James Mccarthy, Jerry Harring-
ton and Marco Marovich were dismissed
by Justice Libby yesterday. The two
former are proprietors of saloon at "a
East Park street and have declared their
intention of permitting no more gamb-
ling on their premises.

New York. May 21.-Dealing with
rumors about the near approach of Sir
Alfred Miner to English shores, the
London correspondent of the Tribune
says the gossips alternately raise him
to the peerage and supersede him as
high commissioner of South Africa.
Some more imaginative marplots even
persist in ejecting Mr.. Chamberlain
from the colonial office and substituting
Sir Alfred for him.
All these rumors are idle tales. Sir
Alfred Miner cannot be allowed to re i.
turn to London for conference with
Mr.. Chamberlain without a demonstra-
ton of royal appreciation and public APP
pre- al. He is not likely to retire from
Marlborough house without decoration
of some kind, and the peerage will lie
natural reward for services which ha We
been more arduous than those of any
predecessor.
Nothing is known about the kings
purposes beyond the exceptional dis
tinction Of welcome to Sir Alfred at
Marlborough house as soon as he ar
rives in London.
Rumors relating to his permanent re-
tirement from South Africa have been
premature, and there is an immense
mass of detail respecting the recon-
struction policy, which Mr.. Chamberlan
and he will need to go over together.
His visit will be we'll timed if it en-
ables the two statesmen most familiar
with South Africa to prevent the ex-
ploitation of the new colonies by monop-
olists and mine owning millionaires.

PLAINTIFF ALLEGES FRAUD.
They Want Lease and Bond on the
Hornet Claim Can
ro1oI


Isaac Knoyle and Samuel Knight have
brought suit against Louis Mason and
K. O. Merriman to cancel a lease and
bond on the Hornet Lode claim, which
corners the Butte & Boston placer.
knoyle is only II years old. but in order
to protect what he considers his rights
the suit is in the name of James. Knoyle.
his guardian. In the complaint it is al
legged that on May of 1900 the plaintiffs
gave Mason and Merriman a lease and
bond on the Hornet. The latter were to
7pay=them 25 per cent royalty on all ore
extracted and give them $500 for the
property at the end Of two years. The
plaintiffs claim that the lease and bond
was obtained by fraud and on inadequate
consideration that Mason represented
that he already owned an interest in the
ground; that when he secured the lease
and bond he located the ground under
another name. The plaintiffs allege that
the defendants have taken about $4,000
worth of ore from the ground and ask
for damages in this sum against them,
together with the cancellation of the
lease and bond.

Mr.. HEINZE LOST THIS CASE.
Judge Know4es Affirms Findings in
Favor o. the Butte & Boston
in Larkiu Case.

Judge Knowles has affirmed the find
ings Of Special Master in Chancery Blake.
in the Butte-Boston-Larkin insanity
case. A notice of an appeal has also been
given by Attorney Mediation for the
plaintiff, F. Augustus Heinze, and the
order for entering the decree has been
stayed until June rs in order to give
Heinze time in which to prepare his ap-
peal. Like the other mining cases now in
the federal court, the Larkin case might
be compared to a penitentiary lockstep-
there is always brief pause after every
forward movement.
The real point in the controversy IL
whether James Larkin was sane at the
time he sold his interests in the Snoho-
mish and Tramway mines. In affirming
the findings Of Judge Blake of Helena
Judge Knowles said he had read every
page of the testimony and was satisfied
that Larkin was perfectly sane at the
time the transfer was made. Heinze"s
endeavor was to prove that the Butte &
& Boston company has no legal title to its
interest in these properties on the ground
that Larkin was insane when he sold his
portion of the mines for $4,000. Heinza
was administrator of Larkin's estate and
guardian of Clara Larkin.
The hearing of the case lasted more
than 100 days and 5000 pages of typewrit-
ten testimony were taken. During tho
trial it became known that Heinze had
contracted with Clara Larkin to pay her
5000 in case he won the suit, from which
amount $2,5C0 was to be deducted for le-
gal expenses. The trial Of the case has
cost a great deal Of money, as 225 per-,
sons testified and number Of insanityII
experts were brought from the east al
a cost of $3.50 a day each.
Judge Blake's report on the case was
made January rs, 1850, and judge
Knowles has had the matter under con-
sideration since that time. During this
period and while the trial was going on
the properties have been worked by Re-
ceiver John s. Harris. AS a year NAV
elapse before the circuit court Of appeals
passes on the case, Harris receivership Is
good for some time longer.

MINING OPERATIONS
In GRANT COUNTY
Gold Gulch Has Six Thousand Feet
Of Workings Made Several
Centuries Ago,
THE CLIFTON MILL STARTED
1t is Working on Ore from the Wild Cat
Mine-The Mountain Key Mine Has
Been Cleared to Water Level-New
Boiler for the Missouri Mine.

| Gold Gulch, Grant county, is perfor-
ated with old Spanish workings of sew
eral centuries ago. In the archives of
the Catholic cathedral at Tucson are
records of all the work done in this
gulch for as was customary in those
days, the priests took an active part
in mining, the proceeds of which were
used in erecting the beautiful cathed-
rails and churches which even to this
day, are common sights in New Mexi-
co, Arizona and Mexico. These rec
ords it is said, show that several mill
lions of dollars worth of gold were
taken from this gulch two centuries
ago. Upon four claims owned in the
gulch by the Bayard Smelling & Min
ing company parties who have ex-
amined them, estimate that there is
between 1000 and 5000 feet of shafting,
tunnels and drifts. This is a mere esti-
mate however as the delapidated con-
dition of the workings rendered a COR
rect computation unsafe. The gulch
is but a few miles from Santa Rita
where the ruins of an old fort used to
keep off the Indians while the miners
were at work and the many Spanish
diggings are still objects of interest
The Mountain Key mine at Pinos
Altos, Grant county, has been cleaned
out to water level, 200 feet, and the
milling of the ore will begin at once.
H. O. Choate, a prominent mining
engineer of Cleveland, O., was in Sill
yer City the first of the week, to re-
port on the mine for party of eastern
people,
At 65 foot depth, the American Con-
solidated Copper company, which is
developing in the White Signal dis
trict, Grant county, struck twenty in
ches of medium high grade ore that at
six feet more opened cross the entire
width of the shaft and promises to be
permanent.
At the Missouri mine near Central,
ties, a new 14-horse power gasoline
hoist has arrived and is being placed in
position This will greatly facilitate
the development work now being car
ried on in the mine.
The Clifton Copper company's mill at
Santa Rita, Grant county, operating on
ore from the Wild Cat mine, has star
ted with a force of % men part of
which are employed at the mill. The
capacity of this mill is 100 tons per
day which will be fully used to its ut
most limit. The mill Is located 60 feet
from the mouth Of the shaft and the
for handling the ore is so
perfectly arranged that from the time
of mining from the slopes the ore is not
again handled until it has been con-
centrated, all the handling being done
by machinery at an approximate cost
Of 80 cents per ton Of gross output of
ore from the mine which is considera-
