HENRY JEWEL, A BUTTE MINER
1nvents Safety Device for Cages
It Works to Perfection.

Henry Jewell. miner employed at the
Gagnon mine in this city has invented a
new device for preventing cages from
dropping down the shaft of mines in
case Of broken cables. A patent for it
was issued June II and since then Mr..
Jewell has received an average of eight
or ten letters each week from eastern
parties who desire to obtain possession
of it, The device works on either a sin
gle or double deck cage or anything with
which hosting in a shaft is done. In
shafts where double deck cages are
used it can be attached to both decks,
and in case the lower deck becomes de-
tached from the upper it works just as
effectively as though the cable had di-
rect contact with the lower one. Five
feet, which is the depth of one set of
timbers is the greatest fall a cage can
take with one of Mr.. Jewell's devices at
tached to it. The instant the cable
breaks four strong teeth, two at either
side set opposite each other and ,ield be-
meath the floor by springs, shoot out and
strike the upper part of the first wall
plate below the point of separate ion. The
weight of a cage or bucket holds the
teeth back While the cable is intact and
the springs do the rest when the cable
separates. Mr.. Jewell is giving exhibit

showed that the property was exception
ally rich. and they Immediately decided
to lose no time in getting things on a
financial basis SO that the development
could be pushed rapidly from the start.
1t is planned that if the development
work proves up the property to be what
the gentlemen now interested have every
reason to believe it is, another company
will be organized later to take over the
stock Of the development company.
The change in the management Of the
Calumet & Hecla mine and recent other
changes about the property have resulted
in some misunderstanding regarding tn
positions now held at the mine. Under
the new arrangement the position of gen.

RICH COPPER MINE IN PERU

James Mac Farlane, mining q. gin
eer, who for years has been connected
with the Anaconda and Montana Ore
purchasing companies of this city, is
back from trip to Peru, to which pla ce
he was sent by A. w. McCune of Salt
Lake to examine mine said to be falu-
lously rich in copper. Mi. Mac Farlanes
report on the property is quite satisfac-
tory and company will be formed in
New York to work the mine. The enter
prise will be backed by J. B. Haggin,
with whom Mr.. McCune will be asso-
ciated. OF the property and the proposed
company the Salt Lake Herald says:
"A. w. McCune is to be at the head Of
a syndicate that it to open uptand oper-
ate the largest copper mine in the world.
a mine in which experts estimate that
there is $72,000,000 worth Of silver and
copper now in sight. In this enterprise
Mr.. McCune will be associated with J. B.
Haggin, representatives of the Hearst
estate and Of the Tevis estate. The syn
dictate is to be formed in New York and
$1o,000,O00 is to be put into the develop
ment of the mine.
This is the great Callao mine in Peru
in South America, a mine in the Andes
mountains $4,000 feet above the level OF
the sea and some miles north Of the city

rope represents the cable and while il is
attached to the cages the latter work
freely UP and down the timbers, but the
instant the rope is separated the teeth
beneath the upper deck shoot out and
catch the first wall plate. Then the
lower deck is detached from the upper
and allowed to drop. with the same re-
suit. During an entire two weeks series
of exhibitions not one miss has been
made.
An old miner examined the device
Saturday evening and after watching
it in operation a while remarked that it
was the best safety arrangement he had
ever seen.

understanding that the final work on the
| formation of the syndicate is to be done
| in New York while Mr. McCune is in
| that city before leaving there for South
| America. and that others of the men in
terested i'll the undertaking with him
will accompany him to Peru. 1t is also
! stated that this syndicate is prepared to
put $1,000, 900 into the mine before any
! returns are expected.
James MacFarlane. the superintend-
ent of the Horseshoe mine at Fay, New.
made Il trip to Peru some time since to
inspect this mine in the interest of Mr..
McCune. and his report has been of such
a character that there was no trouble in
interesting such men as the veteran
miner J. &. Haggin Mr. MacFarlane
brought back with him numerous SAM
pies of the ore from the mine. These
have been assayed and show an average
of 20 per cent copper and Is ounces of
silver for the mine. AS to the amount of
ore in sight Mr.. MacFarlane estimated it
at 100000 tons. In my widest Dreams
he said. I never imagined that there was
such body of ore on the face of the
earth At the present market value Of
silver and lead the ore estimated by Mr.
MacFarlane, who is an expert and con-
sentative, would be worth So. 900, 900.
This is not new mine. 1t has been
worked for 211 years. and it is estimated
that 700. 200, 600 ounces of silver have been
taken out of it, but it has never been
mined for copper. The method pursued
in taking out the silver was for the poems
to work down into the bowels OF the
earth by means of zig-zag steps, going
down this way for thousands of feet The
ore was carried up step by step on the
backs of these men: at the mouth of the
mine it was loaded upon llamas, 80
pounds to the beast. and carried down
the mountain to the coast in this way.
There it was loaded upon vessels and
most of it shipped to Liverpool.
u. B. Haggin is no stranger to the
mining fraternity of this state. and the
connection of his name with an enter
prise is guarantee that it will be
pushed on large scale. He was con-
nected with Tevis in California in the
early days. and later became interested
with Hearst. He assisted in the develop
ment of the Ontario and is still the treas
urer of the Ontario company. He is also
largely interested in the Homestake mine
in the Black Hills. and in the Anaconda,
in Montana. For years he lived in New
York and in recent years he has been
country. He is man of enormous
wealth.
Mr. McCune left for the east yester-
day morning, accompanied by Mr.. Mac
Farlane who will go with him to South
America. They will sail from New York
when matters there are adjusted. and
will go direct to the Isthmus of Panama.
After crossing that they will sail down
the coast to Puerto Callao, and will go
from there to the mine Mr.. McCune will
be gone for several months"

GRANTz'S HIDDEN TREASURE

Otto Grant,, a little old German, has
struck it rich on mining claim he owns
in the Black Hills of South Dakota. His
property is called the Hidden Treasure
and it is located at the apex of a noun
tain near the claims of the Homestake
company three miles from Deadwood.
Grantz located the claim "a years ago
and part Of the time since then he has
had to camp on it with shotgun and
q bull dog to prevent some one else
from taking possession of it. He ran
cuts here and there on the surface, TAX
ing out enough ore to pay for the work
Occasionally he would find small mug
get of gold and his ambition was to
ascertain this source. He argued with
himself that if he could locate the right
spot he would be henceforth known as
"Mr. Otto Grantz' instead of 1.-The little
Dutchman who owns the claim on the
hill",
a spot he had not touched with the pick
and concluded to do a little more dig
cling. He dug, and within IL inches Of
the surface uncovered a ledge of the
richest gold quartz ever found in that
district. It was not a spot. The rock
was literally filled with the yellow metal
Almost the first pound chunk Grantz
picked up contained at least $50 worth
of gold.
Prior to the find Grantz would have
sold the property for $4,000 and then
thought he was doing well, but the in
slant his eyes caught sight of the first
piece of gold he added another SO, 900
Then he stripped a little more of the
ground and raised the price another $1O
GOO. By the time he had 50 feet If the
vein exposed he had the price up to 5000 /.
700 and when he had sunk 5 feet am.
found that the rich ore appeared to be
permanent he raised the price to 81, OOO,-
900, where it is now.
Grantz is still working the property
right along, but his wife. sharp Swed-
ish woman. is the boss, allowing no one
to drive a bargain with Otto without her
presence.

Brakeman worsted In an Encounter With
Vicious Tramps.
Chicago, Feb. lS.--On top OF q box
car at the rear end of a rapidly now
ing freight train William j. Bennett, a
brakeman, gave battle to two high
waymen last night. One of the IAN
dts had a revolver. With that n BEN
nett clinched. They rolled and tumbled
about together on the top OF the
swaying car. ZACH endeavorSng to hurl
the other from the tsain. After a des-
perate struggle Bennett succeeded In
getting his adversary in a position
where he vas able to throw him from
the car without going with him. AT
that juncture h confederate OF the
robber with a revolver came into ac-
ton. He saved his companion and In
a scufile with the brakeman struck
him from behind with a billy and rem
dered him unconscious.
Angered because OF mis- narrow es-
cape, the robber who had been worSted
then set upon Bennett and as he lay
helpless pounded him mercilessly Over
the head with his revolver, inflicting a
dozen wounds and knocking out sew
eral Of the victims teeth. After seach-
Ing Bennett and securing a small sum
of money and a silver watch, 1t is
supposed that the robbers jumped from
the train and made their escape. The
assault took place on a train on the
Lake Shore tracks between F~orty-third
and Fifty-first streets.
Bennett did not recover his senses
until the train reached Englewood.
There the train was moving slowly,
and with blood streaming from his
wounds, Bennett climbed down the
car and fell from the train into the
arms Of Yardmaster Flaws. The In
jured man was taken to the Engle-
wood Union hospital.
