After over four years Of continuous
rock cutting the Banker Hill g. Suli.
van company has connected every
opening in it's mines at Wardnar
Idaho, with the long tunnel, the mouth
OF which is at the mill more than two
miles below. The last connection was
made a few days ago.
That portion Of California bordering
on Nevada and consisting of Placer.
Eldorado, Sierra and Nevada counties
with their mines on "the State Belt"
forms compact region that is fairly
seeming with activity, and possesses
communities that are most exemplary
in their enterprise.
IF the Lucille Dreyfus near Repub.
lie shows the same body of ore at 200
feet depth as now exposed on the up-
per level capital will be forthcoming
Tor the construction Of a smelter that
VIII handle nearly all Of the silicious
ores Of the Republic camp" says Col.
W. M Ridpath of Spokane.
The strike at the Kearsarge mine.
one OF the most noted gold producers
in Montana, has been declared off.
The miners quit work two weeks ago
over the refusal of the management
to discharge Chinese cook. The COM
pany has agreed to employ nothing in
the future but white cooks and the
men returned to work.
After four years of work and at a
cost of about $4,000,000, the Michigan
Lake Superior Power company nas
| just completed its water power deyel-
opment at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, by
which, at the least calculation, $1,000
horse power will be produced. This
development utilizes the waters of
Lake Superior at the Falls of ST..
Mary's river, which have a descent OF
20 feet.
Judge Beattie in the federal court
at Moscow, Idaho, has given judgment
in the Skookum case for SITS, 867. 02
to Kennedy Hanley Of Kellogg, Idaho.
| The judgment Is against Charles
Sweeny, f. Lewis Clark and the EN-
pire State-Idaho Mining company and
is based on the report of the master
in chancery, Warren Truitt, who took
the accounting in the case.
Patrick Clark of Spokane has Sc
cured an option on heavy control of
the Jumbo in Buffalo Hump on the
basis of $225000 for the mine. If it
stands up under examination-and lit
tie doubt is expressed on that score
Mr.. Clark will take up the option and
will push operations. There Is four
stamp mill on the mine now, which in
16 months has produced 100000 in
gold bullion. 1t is expected that Mr..
Clark will replace it with 20 or 80
stamp plant and rush operations.
Advices from Neal, Idaho, tell of the
sale of the Daisy mine, one Of the
principal producers Of Idaho, to the
Western Trust & Guarantee company.
The price, while not made public, is
understood to be in the neighborhood
of $225,000. A 10-stamp mill and
concentrator is on the property. The
mine has been sufficiently we'll ex-
plotted to determine the existence of
large, and, it is believed, a per
manent body of ore. George Brede-
hoff, the former owner, secured the
| Daisy from Denver people for song
after they had expended much capital
in futile search for ore bodies. The
first drift run by Mr.. Bredehoff eX-
posed the payshoot.
Mr.. Truitt found damages to Han
ley amounting to $265,241.S3. He gave
Hanley the gross value of one-eighth
of the ore taken from the Skookum
mine, in which Hanley holds an eighth
interest, and refused to allow the de-
PENDANTS anything for the cost of min
| ing the ore which they took without
Hanley's consent. Judge Beattie,
however, disregarded the recommen-
dations of the master on that point.
While he does not allow the defend
ants for mining up to the date that
Hanley brought suit, on March IS,
1899, yet he allows them to deduct for
mining after that date. His ruling is
based on the ground that Hanley
should have applied for an injunction
stopping the extraction of ore when
he started suit. Failing in that, he
holds that Hanley forfeited the right
to recover the gross value of the ore
mined after the filing of the suit.
