In the creation Of impershable wealth
there Is no Industry which compares with
mining and In no other legitimate pursuit
are fortunes so quickly made. It Is not
necessary 10 say that these assertions are
based on facts, as we need only to point to
millionaires In our midst to corroborate
the statements made; men, who a few
years ago, were individuals OF exceedingly
limited means. and who, perchance, were
working IN the mines IN this western
country at day labor and at day pay. BE.
Ing positive as TO the truth OF the asser
ton that thinning pays" because we see
evidences OF the fact on every hand, we
can also say that a multitude OF eastern
investors have made millions In mining.

Maehinery for the West Side Company.
J. A. Simmons, president Of the West
Side Gold Mining company, Of North
Yamhill, Oregon, arrived here yesterday
with VIM. Busbee, one of the directors,
both Of whom are on their way to the
company's property, six miles west Of the
Bonanza mine, In the Greenhorn district.
It Is the intention Of these gentlemen to
begin work for the summer at once,
having been compelled to shut down on
account Of water In the shaft Of the mine.
This will be remedied now by the installa.
ton Of boiler, engine and pump, which
with hoist Is already purchased and will
arrive In few days, when work can 20
on indefinitely. As would be supposed,
the company Is developing its property by
shaft and expects to reach considerable
depth this season. Very satisfactory val.
ues were secured last winter at depth Of
thirty feet, when work was stopped. Mr..
Simmons Is a former Colorado mining
man and Is also interested In the Ashwood
and Red Jacket groups at Ashwood, Ore.
gon, In Crook county. near Shanixo.

the ground, II was allowed to revert to
the government. Later his two partners
discovered rich ledge Of gold ore on one
Of the claims and the group was re-
located, but MeCarty was left out Of the
deal entirely. The point Of law was
whether a partner can be located out Of
mining claim. The case has gone through
all Of the courts Of the state and at last to
the Supreme court at Washington. Last
winter M.Carty won judgement for
$1,000 against the estate oi the late j.
Fayel, one Of the original purchasers Of
the Holy Terror mine. There Is still
another suit held by MeCarty against the
company, It being for an accounting Of all
the ore taken from the mine between
December 1895, and January, 1901. The
case has been a test case In the Black
Hills and number Of other trials will
undoubtedly come up In the court on the
same question-Ores and Metals.

Il was seen that Helm was dying
when he reached the hospital, so be was
merely made easy, and bis father sat at
his be iside until be passed away at 8:3C
o'clock.
Thompson has not been seen since
the tragedy, aud as Marks claims to
have fred ct him as he ran across the
field, be may be dead somewhere.
Stiff is in a precarious condition. The
surgeons located the bullet in the left
side of the neck about half an inch M.
der the skin. The spinal column SEEM
ed to have been touched by the bullet,
as the body of the wounded man was
psralyz ed from the neck down. He re-
NAMED conscious. The X-ray process
was brought into use to discover the
amount OF iojury to the spinal column,
but the first picture was overexposed
and sno ~ed only the exact location OF
the bullet.
No operation was performed last
night, out If the patient is 10 an improv.
ed condition today the bullet may be
removed. Unless the spinal column Is
too severely injured, the wounded man
has a chance for life.
After Marks was 10 custody, Coroner
Guthridge held an inquest over the re-
mains of Taylor. The verdict was that
he came to mis- death by gunshot wounds
Inflicted by revolver in the hands of
Herbert Marks who was exonerated.
Marks denies absolutely having made
advances to Miss Taylor.
The condition OF Stiff was unchanged
today and he still hoyers between life
and death. The surgeons have little
hope for bis recovery ss his spine was
grszed by one of Herbert Marks
bullets, aud the entire lower portion OF
