THE COLUMBIAN.
BLOOMSBURG, PA.
THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1903.
THE ASSAYS OF GOLD, COPPER AND
SILVER ORE RUN HIGH.

The Board of Directors of The
Alta-Idaho Gold and Copper Mining
Company met IN Bloomsbury and
passed a resolution advancing the
price of the stock of this Company
from 90 cents to 80 cents share to
take effect May Ist.
The causes given by the Board of
Directors for tine increased price of
stock are: That the company lately
purchased two more tracts of mineral
lands, and mill site, now owning
outside of the mill rite, eleven tracts
of good mineral land on which are
deposits of rich Gold, Copper and
Silver ore. That the line of these
lands is the Clear Water River, and a
branch of the Northern Pacific Rail
road has lately been built, and is now
in operation through this property on
the bank of the river which gives fine
facilities for transportation. That
this Company is out of debt, and is as
far along by way of development as
some companies which have expend-
ed millions, taking into consideration
the railroad facilities, and the fine
location in connection with the de-
veloped parts of the mines. That
there is on these lands sufficient tim
Der for all mining and building pur-
poses. That these mines are located
at Pardee, Idaho, In the great Gold,
Copper and Silver belt of the country,
and millions of tons of ore are in sight,
which values according to recent
assays made by different assayists
run very high, and are as follows: IS
per cent 2S per cent, 20 per cent,
80 per cent, 43 per cent, and S. per
cent copper; and 43 dollars, 54 dollars
and I92 dollars gold to the ton, and
40 dollars silver to the ton.
That no other Company is now sell
ing stock which will bring as big re-
turns as the stock of The Alta-Idaho
Gold and Copper Mining Co., taking
into consideration the great value of
the mines, and the low price for which
the stock is now sold. That the
stock is being sold at this low figure
IN order to make quick returns to
further develop the mines.
That George M. Snyder, the Gen
erial Manager now residing at the
mines, Pardee, Idaho, was a former
owner of part Of this property, and
has all of his money invested in the
stock of this Company. He was
brought up in this county and taught
school, but for the past 20 years he
has been "a student of Geology and
mineral lands. and has had the ex
perience of miner, book keeper and
manager in and about the great gold
copper and silver mines of the west,
so that he is now well qualified to
manage great mining corporation.
A telegram was received yesterday
from the General Manager stating
that on one of the tracts of land late
ly purchased by the Company that ir
sinking shaft he is now gong through
very rich vein of Gold and Silver
ore.

the "Wine, Woman and Song"

lightning body blows were de-
livered and two of the participants
were laid out completely. From a
person, an onlooker, who attended
the performance the night before,

better "scrappers" than they are
actors. They are booked for an

THE FLOOD.
Mississippi Levees Crumbling in Spite
of Forces at Work.

New Orleans, La, March 31.-The
carrying away of additional cribbage
at the Hymelit eva early yester-
day morning brought the forces that
have been at work there to the verge
of abandonment of the attempt to close
the break. Later in the day it was
agreed to continue the undertaking,
though all hands are likely to be call
ed of II the terrific current washes
out the new lines of cribbing which
we're started at both ends of the levee
late yesterday. In no event a the
work be completed inside of a week,
and unless ample money is given the
next disaster TO the cribbing is like
ly to mark the end of the struggle.
The levee board yesterdy let it be
known that it was at the end of its re-
sources, and that unless the planters
and railroads could assure subscrip-
tions amounting to $780, 900, it would be
compelled to throw up its hands.
doubtless double that amour will be
required to complete the job. By even
ling 1t was said the break was close to
700 feet in width, with the ends still
steadily melting away.

SENATOR ASKED TO
EXPRESS PREFERENCE.

Senator Frazee was this morning in
formed that it was more than likely
that Judge Riner of the United States
court at Cheyenne would be promoted
to a position on the bench of the
United States court Of appeals. and
was asked to express his preference
as 20 a successor on the circuit bench
case Judge Riner was promoted. 1t
is believed the senator will favor At
torney General Van Orsdel. He says
Judges Potter and Knight of the state
supreme court are as good men for
that position as can be found, and that
Mr.. Van Orsdel merits whatever may
be said of him by the republicans of
the state for the very able in
which he has conducted the recent
successful campaigns of that party in
the state.

DUFFEY
KNOCKED FROM PASSENGER
TRAIN AND INSTANTLY KILL.
ED At HOWELL STATION.
Was Leaning from Door Of Baggage
Car When His Head Came in Con-
tact With Bridge Spanning River
One Of the Best Known Men On
the Road-Raiiroad Notes.

Conductor James ]. Duffey, who has
been running a passenger train on the
Wyoming division for three Or four
years and a freight train on the east
ern district for many years before that,
was instantly killed about 200 yards
east of Howell station, seven miles
west of Laramie, at 4:3O yesterday af-
%ternoon, the body reaching this city at
sos, in the baggage car from the
door of which he fell to his death. His
right arm was dismembered at the
shoulder and the skull was crushed at
the right side, the brain tissue being
spattered over the side of the car and
against the truss of the bridge span
ming the river at Howell.
Coroner Robinson was notified at
the time of the accident and viewed
the remains in the car upon its ar.
rival in the city. There were but two
witnesses to the accident, the train
baggageman, c. w. Jones, and the
brakeman, Archie Mahar. They were
examined by the coroner, in the pres
ence of DR.. Stevens. and the coroner
permitted the body to be taken on to
Cheyenne, where Mr.. Duffey's family
reside. An inquest was not deemed
necessary.
1t would seem hat Conductor Duffey,
who was in charge of the first section
of train No. 4, IA standing In the door
of the baggage car, and leaning too
far out, came in contact with the
bridge over the Laramie river. He
was knocked out and fell between the
timbers Of the bridge to the water be.
low. The brakeman and baggage
man saw him go to the door
of the car and saw him fall. The
train WIS stopped and the body of the
unfortunate man picked up and brought
to this city. The accident happened
very near where Conductor Tom Com
mings was killed IN a somewhat SINH
lar manner some months ago.
Mr.. Duffey was one of the best
known and best liked conductors on the
Wyoming division, and his death will
be sincerely regretted by a large cir
Gle of friends.
The deceased leaves a widow and
one young child. Mrs. Duffy is pros
trated by his tragic death. Alexander
Duffey and Miss Edith B. Dufey Of
Cheyenne are brother and sister Of the
deceased.

IN BEHALF OF CoNvICTS.
President Roosevelt Sees Justice IL
Done United States Prisoners.

Washington, d. c., March 31.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt has issued a general
order in the nature of amnesty toward
ia certain class of prisoners, which will
affect more than 100 prisoners con-
fined in the new United States peni-
Tertiary at Atlanta, Ga.
In the early part of 1902, upon the
completion of the Atlanta p%eniten-
|tiary. a number of United States pris-
Ioners incarcerated in ~penitentiaries in
Ohio and New York. were transferred
to the ~penitentiary of Atlanta. By rea-
son of the transfer of these prisoners,
their terms of Imprisonment were
practically increased, in some cases to
the extent of three or four years, for
the reason that the Ohio and New
York laws relating to the diminution
of sentences for good conduct, which,
by the federal statutes, were made ap-
plicable to United States prisoners,
were very much more liberal than the
federal statutes under which diminu
ton of sentences is permitted in fed
eral institutions. The last congress re-
pealed the federal statutes making
state laws applicable to United States
prisoners and enacted a very liberal
accumulation law, applicable to all the
United States prisoners wherever con
fined.
On account of the great injustice
done to the prisoners transferred tC
Atlanta in extending their sentences
by the terms which were intended b!
the courts in imposing the sentences
and in order tt remedy this injustice
the president has issued a general or
der under which each transferred pris
oner will be discharged upon the da.
when he would have beer discharged
had he continued to be confined in tn
state prison or penitentiary iron
which he was transferred. The pres
dent has denied fifteen applications TO
executive clemency, and has exercise
lclemency in nine cases
