on the glittering array of Jewels his mind
went back to day in 1866 when he stood

both he and his bride were poor in every

Mines and Mining.

! George Sonneman White said he took
| the deposition and made typewriter
copies of the letters. Afterwards MIR.
| White caused the original letters and the
deposition to be filed in the clerks Of
| flee. They have since disappeared.
Some Warm Letters.
Mr.. White testified that copies of sew
eral letters offered in evidence were the
same he had taken at the time Black
| burn gave his deposition The copies Of
the letters were read to the jury. The
first one. which bears the alleged sigma
ture of Jay Lawyer. and is dated Janu-
airy y, 1899, reads:
Dear Sir: Have just received from
the East, and note with satisfaction that
the Dora mine is doing Well. The sam
pie that you sent Siyyer assayed $l03.
which was all right. A portion of your
last letter to Sivyer regarding strike of
three-foot ledge was published in to-
days Spokesman-Review l have been
thinking that it would be a good plan
for you to come to Spokane for one
day supposedly on private business) on
or about the first of February and see
some people that YOU are acquainted with
and also some that l could suggest. and
give them inside information in advance
OF the general public of an important
strike, in consideration of such infor-
nation you to have a share in profits
which they might make on account of
same. If you do not think that wise
plan you had better write a few en-
couraging letters on receipt of this let
ter. and also write Sivyer general let
ter.
Write me fully on receipt of this as
to what your ideas are, and arrange
with the telephone Office to send for you
whenever / call you up, which I will
do Immediately upon receipt of reply to
this. Think it good plan for you to
see the Spokesman-R Review reporter there
and have him confirm in letter to the
paper your last letter to Sivyer. The
conditions here are such that we consid-
er it important to hurry things as much
as possible, and when the new shaft
reaches the proper depth to strike the
ledge We should be ready to push things
for all there is in it and think all ar
engagements should be made with that
end in view. If you come to Spokane
will follow you to Republic in day or
two so as to be there when the public
hear of the rich strike. Think it would
be we'll to send Sivyer sample of the
3-foot ledge, if you have not already done
so. being quite certain it will assay

The second alleged letter is said to be
signed by Sonneman. It was dated at
Spokane, January %, and reads in part: |

THAT Sailed NINE
SENSATIONAL DISCLOSURES III
CONNECTION WITH 1T.
WOULD COME THE RUSH ACT
One Thousand Pounds of Ore Stolen
From Mine for Use in the
"Salting" Process - Three
Men Carried It.

AS it is in Spokane, so it is in other
places. and there are several distinct
ways in which it is worked.
Relative to the sailing of the Dora
mine for the purpose of swindling per-
sons out of money on the sale Of stock,
the Spokesman-Revie says:
More startling evidence was given by
John Blackburn yesterday in the case
arising over the Sailing of the Dora
mine, in Republic camp. He identified
copies of letters alleged to have been
written by George Sonneman and Jay
Lawyer, letters which place those men
in a most unfavorable light if Black
burns story of the authorship is correct
These letters bear upon the alleged con-
spiracy of Messrs. Sonneman, Lawyer
and Blackburn to induce w. c. Sivyer of
Spokane to buy stock in the Dora mine.
Blackburn also related how the second
shaft was sunk on the Dora claim how
this shaft was sailed and how he gave
out reports of wonderful strikes made
in the claim. AS In the case of the
first shaft. Blackburn testified that ore
was stolen from the Republic ore dump
with which to salt the Dora claim. Black
burn said he took two men with him
and they made several trips to the Re-
public dump in the night time. Black
burn estimated that fully 1000 pounds of
ore We're stolen from the Republic dump
and carefully placed on the Dora dump
and around the shaft In the places where
It would do the most good.
Deposition Disappeared.
Among many interesting points brought
out in the trial yesterday was the fact
that Blackburn's original deposition and
the letters which he says he received
from Sonneman and Lawyer have dis
appeared from the clerks Office in the
courthouse. E. T. White, notary pub
lie, testified that Blackburn came into
his office over year ago and made a
deposition in the case, and at the same
time presented several letters. One was

The ore body, which, he says, is large

Considerable development work has

every indication of the property being
a valuable one.

TO SECURE IMMIGRATION,

General Passenger and Ticket
Agent Charles S. Fee, of the Northern
Pacific railroad, says the Montana
Record, has been making an extended
visit in the western states, and talks
freely of the Improvement he sees. Mr..
Fee is enthusiastic regarding the
present rapid growth and the brilliant
future prospects of the northwest. He
says at least thirty thousand home
seekers have taken advantage of the
low rates offered by the railroad COM
panies since February last. However,
Mr.. Fee does not attribute the great
influx of newcomers to the northwest.
so much TO the reduced railroad rates
as to the continued advertising that
has been done for the past three or four
years. This judicious advertising
had made Van impression upon the
farmers and business men of the east.
and prepared them to take advantage
OF the cheap rates when they were
offered. The good times enabled these
eastern people to dispose OF their hold
lngs giving them something with
whic to start in the west.
This is as good testimony as could
be had as to the efficiency and benefits
OF Judicious advertising. While the
results may not be seen Immediately,
they are reasonably sure. BY contln-
uing to advertise the advantages of
Montana, while some of the matter
