Attempted Train Robbery.

Seven thugs held up the west bound
Northern Pacific train a few miles
west of Standpoint, Idaho, about 10
O'Clock Monday night. The failure of
the dynamite to explode saved the ex-
press car demolition and prevented the
robbers from getting any booty. The
passenger coaches were not entered,
but the holdups kept up fusillade of
shots along the sides of the train to
intimidate the passengers while the at
tempted robbery was in progress. The
robbery was one of the most daring ever
pulled off in the west.
There was no attempt made at conceal
ment of features, and the robbers
worked boldly and coolly, compelling
the engineer to haul the express car a
few miles up the track away from the
train, and after the failure of the dyna
mite to explode compelling the engin-
eer to haul them still farther up the
track, when they left him to go back
to the waiting train unmolested.
Standpoint is small village at the
neck of Lake Pend d'Oreille, about SO
miles east of Spokane. The trans
was two hours late in reaching thii
point, and pulled out a few minutes
after II. Conductor William Gilbert
of Helena was in charge and engineer
Wilson was at the throttle. The train
crew noticed nothing unusual about
the depot, but after the train had pro-
ceeded west about four miles the engi-
neer and fireman We're approached from
the tender and covered with revolvers
by two thugs. The engineer was or
dered to stop the train. He did so.
Then, while the two robbers kept the
e lgineer and fireman under guard, the
other thugs uncoupled the express car
and gave the signal to go ahead. Mean
while other robbers had assembled to
the roof of the passengercars and be-
gan shooting along the sides of the
cars, presumably to brighten the occu-
pants and prevent them from opening
the windows to see what was going on =.
The robbers evidently climed on the
blind baggage and on the platforms
just as thetrain pulled out of the town.
Inside the car the alarm was quickly
given that the train was being held
up. Conductor Gilbert advised every
lie to keep their seats. Knowing that
a feight train was following the pass
enger, conductor Gilbert quickly dis
patched brakeman with lantern to
flag the ON coming train. The conduc-
tors presence of mind probably saved
the lives of half the occupants of the
train, as the freight was following the
passenger at fast speed. The freight
was stopped some distance back of the
passenger.

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Profits of the lie Roi mine for June
and July total the comfortable sum of
$207 900. The output of July for 1917
tons exceeded 100000, of which $685.
900 was profit, while the revised fig
ures for June placed the profit at S97,-
600. If nothing happens to interfere
with the ore shipments before the end
of the present month is reached the
profits for August will exceed any fig
ure yet attained.
Charles Hoskins and Josiah Lobb
were drowned in the Josie mine of the
lie Roi No. 2 group at Rossland last
week. under circumstances that for
tunately are exceedingly rare. From
the workings Immediately beneath the
ANNA shaft the water flowed in a
cataract along the 300-foot level to the
Josie shaft and dropped GOO feet into
the bottom of the Josie shaft, where
four men were at work.
A shower of boulders was carried
down in the cataract, and it is pre-
sumed that Hoskins and Lobb were
stunned before being drowned. Their
partners, J. Hooking and Thomas
Strick, climbed the shaft through the
falling water and escaped alive. The
Josie shaft was filled for GO feet, and
pumping operations were Immediately
started.
The July returns from the Ymir
mine show that so stamps were in op-
Grafton 675 hours and the estimated
profits amounted OF $6,S50, besides 49,
730 for development and $3.50 for re-
pairs, etc. This brings the total net
profit made by the mines during the
first half of the present year to $751;
535.
Reports received state that the sue
cess attending the shipment of ore
from the LIE Roi dump has been rather
remarkable. Lots of four cars have
been shipped at one time to the North
port smelter, the tests of which indi-
Gated that the entire shipment carried
no less than $40 per ton in gold values
alone.
After a cessation of about 10 days
ments of ore to the company's smelter
at Grand Forks.
The Snowstorm copper property, at
the head of Daisy gulch. about three
and a half miles from Mullan, Idaho,
is being developed into large mine.
A large number of miners and muck
ers will be enabled to secure employ
ment in the Rossland camp during the
next two months by reason of the re-
sumption of shipments at the War
Eagle and the Centre Star mines. The
properties will resume shipping oper-
ations tomorrow, when the first train
load of ore will be sent to the Trail
smelter.
1t is believed that the Greenwood
smelter which has capacity of 800
tons daily, will resume work as soon
as a supply of coke is assured, and
that is eXpected-now that the strike
is at an end-by the first of Septem-
Der.
There are still number of men en-
ployed at the CRANKY mines, even dur.
ing the brief cessation of ore ship
ments and of operations at the reduc.
ton works.
Passengers can now leave Green.

MIMIC NAVAL BATTLE |SOVER
PILLSBURY WAS WORSTED
The Battle Between the blue and the
an Exciting Mntch-COuId Not Get
to Our Coast and Was Compelled
to Surrender.

Rockport, Mass, Aug. 26-The naval
search problem of the New England
coast was terminated by the signal, "Sur-
render, demand unconditional" from
Rear Admiral Higginson's flagship, and
the reply, Accept surrender" from the
fore truck of the Prairie, Commander
Pillsburys flagship. The battle between
the blue, or defending squadron, and the
white, or attacking squadron, was thus
quickly ended, eight miles south of
Thatchers island. The enemy had al
most signally failed to make harbor.
having for its objective point Salem A
preponderance of fighting strength rela-
lively GA points, represented by the bat
tleships Kearsarge, Alabama and Massa-
chusetts, Scorpion and a torpedo boat
overwhelmed the As points represented by
the auxiliary cruisers Prairie. Panther
and Supply. To speak from theoretic
standpoint, the white squadron was en-
tirely destroyed by the guns of the de-
Tending battleships. Thus, on the fourth
night, the game of naval strategy was
brought to an end, it having covered a
period of unceasing toll, sleepless nights
and of anxious and wearing vigil and of
grave uncertainty to its participants.
The destruction of Pillsburys squadron
occurred at Il point just within the outer
limit Of Gloucester harbor, not over eight
miles south from Thatcher's island, off
which 1t had been anchored since We'd
.lna,, tha
clared opened.
The surrounding and putting out of
action" of the squadron in command of
Commander Pillsbury was the culminat-
ing incident in one of the most exacting
chapters in the peace history of the
American navy. For the placing in oper-
alton of the maneuvers of the warships
off the coast of New England, the navy
had long prepared itself and had looked
forward with keen anticipation.
AS planned by the naval authorities at
Washington, two squadrons were to be
put into the game, one the blue, the de-
tending fleet; and the other, the white to
be hostile fleet bent upon effecting an
anchorage in some unprotected harbor on
the coast from Cape Elizabeth to Cape
Cod, opposed all the time by the first
fleet This anchorage had to be main
tanned against the defenders for period
of six hours. Commander Pillsbury's
white squadron consisted of the auxiliary
cruisers Prairie, Panther and Supply.
The two former boats were each assigned
20 points of fighting strength, while the
Supply was assumed to represent five
points, Admiral Iigginson's fleet was
actually superior in the number of its
vessels, and by the same arrangements
made as to the Pillsbury ships, it repre-
scented a grand total of 81 points of
strength. The Kearsarge, the Alabama
and the Massachusetts, battleships. were
given 20, the cruisers Brooklyn and Olym-
pit eight each, the Cincinnati, Montgom-
cry, Gloucester, Mayfiower and Scorpion
three points each, and a number of tor
pedo boats made up the remaining num-
bers.

MISCELLANEOUS MINING NEWS.

The process of making perfect Port
land cement anywhere that lime and
clay are found, absolutely on a scien.
tific formula, without a series of pre-.
liminary experiments, is the discovery
C. S. Batchelder chemist, of Spokane
says he has made, and he says he is
prepared to prove it. He is keeping
his discovery secret.
The Crackerjack mill at Grangeville
is soon to be equipped with an add.
tional five stamps.
Manager Szontagh of the Northport
plant is of the opinion, without hav.
ing taken up the matter at great
length. that the solution to the prob.
lem of reducing Republic ores is to
roast the product OF Republic mines
slightly as is done in Cripple Creek
and then submit them to a cyanide
process.
The ledge on the Gold Ledge prop
erty at Republic has not been struck,
but there are strong indications that
it will be within the next few feet.
An important strike has just been
made on the group of claims lying
west of the Hercules, about three miles
from Burke, Idaho. The strike was
made at the bottom of 60-foot shaft.
The lead encountered is evidently an
extension of the Hercules, which is
considered one of the richest in the
Occur d'Alenes.
The reverberatory building at the
Butte reduction works, owned by Sen
ator w. A. Clark, was totally destroyed
by fire last week. The fire originated
at furnace No. 1, and was caused by
the roof of the furnace caving in. =
The flames communicated to the roof
of the building and spread in an in
credibly short space of time. The loss
will amount to 100000, on which there
is insurance of $4,000.
The loss of the reverberatory will
necessitate the closing down of the
smelter and of three mines which sup
ply it with ore.

MINES AND mining NEWS
OUTLOOK IN THE NORTHWEST,
Items of Interest of a Miscellaneous
Week-New Districts Brought to
the FrOnt-Mining Accidents and.
Personals.

Relations between the Occur d'Alene
mineowners and the smelling trust are
on the verge of crash. 1t now
seems assured that lead smelter and
refinery, with capacity of at least
500 tons a day, employing hundreds
of men, for treating the ores of the
Occur d'Alenes and of Republic, will
be built at Spokane within year. A
similar plant will probably be erected
at Denver, to handle the surplus of the
Occur d'Alene ores, which cannot be
treated to, advantage at Spokane.
A capital of s1,500,OO0 would be in
vested in the enterprise here, of which
about 100000 would be spent on the
plant, and it would be supplied by the
mineowners of the Occur d'Alenes.
