Call 5 up.

We would suggest to our read
els that, as there is "a telephone in
the Sun Office, they might call Il.
up whenever they had an item of
news that would be of interest.
This might be a good way to get
around the inherent bashfulness
of some people, who dislike to
tell us items for fear we might
think they wanted to get their
name in the paper. However, we
are not bashful, and if you will
just call MS up we wont even ask
what your name is, so just re-
member the Sun number is "a.
OF course everybody knows it is
a snap to run a newspaper, but it
would be even more of a snap if
you would just let us know if
there is anyone visiting you or
expects to, or is visiting your
neighbour.

THE COMSToCK MINING co.
Work to be Reopened Soon and a Con-
tract to run the Tunnel in SO Feet
Further Will be Let.

The IL of the Comstock
mine over on the North Fork of
Snake river, s miles from Battle
Lake, state that they intend to re.
open the mine and run the tunnel
80 or so feet further, to cut an
eight foot vein which shows on
the surface.
Work on this claim was stop
ped a year ago last fall, on ac-
count of a lack of funds, The
tunnel was in 240 feet at that time
and had cut two good veins of ore
matter, but the object of the COM
pany was to cut a vein which
showed on the surface, some
eight feet in width, and assayed
S39.S5 at a depth of II feet.
From the mineral which the tun-
mel is now going through, and the
trend of the vein, it is judged they
are between so or so feet from this
vein.
The company owns FIVE claims
in the vicinity of the Comstock
No. l., on which all the work has
been done. While running the
240 foot tunnel they struck a 10
foot vein of decomposed quartz,
which assayed something like S.
TO the ton. At 1872 feet they
struck a second lead, composed of
lime, porphyry and tieldspar.
This lead gave an assay of over
S25, but the company continued
the tunnel for the other vein,
leaving this last lead till they
should have time to follow it.
After the first so feet of tunnel
the rock taken out has been more
or less mineralized, and the min
eral has increased, and is of such
a character as to lead the owners
to believe there is a large body of
ore near AS this mine is located
within three miles of the the Off
cial survey of the U. p. railroad
from Walcott to Steamboat
Springs, their facility for trans
porting the ore should they strike
it, in the event of the road being
built soon, cannot be excelled.
VIM. Norrel is president of the
company, J. d.. c. Kruger, vice
president and G. B. Bergquist,
secretary. A movement is now
on foot 10 dispose of a block of
the treasury stock of the company
and as soon as that is accomplish
ed a contract will be let and work
pushed as rapidly as possible.
The claim is located on three
leads, and the tunnel is u in
such a manner as to cut all three
leads. The second lead they ex-
pect to strike i'll 90 feet and from
that to the third lead it is estimat-
ed to be 800 feet further. How
ever the company are satisfied
that the second lead will be a
good enough thing to make the
running of the tunnel to the
third lead a very simple matter.

ORE IN THE DEWEY,
Struck a Vein at a Depth Of l5o Feet
Word Brought D,wn the First Of the
Week. but Nothing Definite Known
As Yet,

A vein of ore, the dimensions
of which are not known, has been
struck in the Dewey mine, on
Brush creek, at a depth of $50
feet. The shaft just cuts one
side of the vein, and as yet it is
not known whether it is a large
or small body of ore which has
been uncovered. Some of the
rock from the vein was brought
to town by Thomas Anderson and
}. FL. Mnllison, and the showing
is excellent.
This strike is in the new shaft,
and while the present contract
called for 80 feet from the bottom
of the last workings, which were
lib feet in depth, ii is not decided
whether the contractors shall I'm
ish their contract and then go
back and drift on the vein or be-
GIN drifting at once.
A. NJ. McAnally was up to the
mine the latter part of last week,
and says the outlook is most ex-
cellent for a shipping mine in a
very short time. There are two
shifts of four men to the shift,
working there at present and
while the water is beginning to
bother it is not thought it will
be necessary to remove the pump
from the old workings to the new,
until the present contract is en-
ished.
A meeting of the stockholders
of the Dewey Mining Co., was
held in Mayor Clemmons' office on
Monday. Thomas Anderson, j.
H.. M~ullison, j. w. Cluff, Will
Andrews and G.. P. Clemmons
were elected directors for the
coming year. G.. P. Clemmons
was elected president, Thomas An
derson. vice-president, Will An
drews, secretary, and Mr.. Glenn
mons was also elected treasurer.
Nothing further was done towards
letting contracts until the present
contract should be finished, and
the company find out how extern
! sive an ore vein had been uncov-
cred.
The Dewey Mining Co., have
been handicapped during the ear
lier workings of the mine, first by
a crooked shaft, and second by
the water, which was very hard to
handle. They have remedied the
first by sinking a new shaft, and
also have a pump with which to
handle the water, although it has
not proved nearly SO troublesome
in the new shaft rs in the old. 1t
now seems that their perseverance,
is TO be rewarded. and with the
opening up of the Dewey mine,
practically a ley mining field will
be opened up. The mine is stu
ated out on the prairie, and il
it develops into a shipper there is
no question but what there must
be others in that vicinity, which
have not been prospected.

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Butte, Mont, Sept. 21.-Despite all objections
1ntcrposed by the attorneys for the Boston and
Montana Mining company Of the AmaIgamated
group, that they We're not yet ready to proceed,
dered the retrial of the noted $40, 600 Minnie
Fealy mining case to proceed. Every motion
made by the Amalgamated in this controversy
with Heinze oyerruled by the court the
Heinze interests scoring telling point when
Judge Clancy ruled that he himself would be the
sole judge of the merits of this celebrated min
trial by jury when the ownership Of a mine,
estimated to be the richest in the Butte camp,
Is to be determined.
The attempt Of the Boston and Montana peo-
pie to remove the hearing Of the from the
Silver Bow coterie OF alleged Heinze judges was
rily overruling the motion that his court did not
have jurisdiction in the matter.
+. Augustus Heinze claims possession of the
Minnie Bealy mine alleged oral agreement
made with Miles Finlen in the fall Of 1898.
Heinze was anxious to have the alleged agree
ment put In writing and signed by Finlen, but
the latter said he was too busy, and that he
wanted to take a train for the east, Heinze
thought his word as good his bond, and that
he (Heinze) could go right ahead and take pos
session of the Minnie Healy and do what he
pleased in connection with the operations Of the
property.
Heinze alleges that after he had developed the
property and revealed the existence of extern
sive deposits in it's depths, Finlen refused
to carry out his part Of the alleged oral agree
ment
On the other hand, the Boston and Montana
and Miles Finlen deny that any agreement, oral
or otherwise, made with Heinze where
by Finlens interests in the Minnie Healy were
to be transferred to Heinze, and that the only
negotiations Heinze had with Finlen were with
view to obtaining possession of the Minnie
Healy for the purpose of instituting suit against
the Boston and Montana and closing the Leonard
mine Judge Mediation, Heinze's chief
sci, was on the spot with written agreement.
Later the Boston and Montana company secured
control of the Minnie Healy thru purchase of the
Fnlen interests.
During squabble in court over the records,
Attorney Con Kelly for the Boston and Montana
took exception to a portion Of the minutes and
was fined $40 by Judge Clancy, after the court
had threatened to send the lawyer to jail and
denounced him for ''impudence and ruffanly
conduct" Under threat Of calling in the sheriff
and suspending further hearing of the case,
Clancy compelled Kelly to deposit the amount at
once,

HuntIna the Moose.

Since the extinction Of the wild buff
falo that roamed our western prairies for
centuries before the coming Of civiliza-
ton, the adventurous hunter has turned
his attention to hunting moose Ameri-
cans want sport with plenty of excitement
and danger, and moose hunting affords
both. These animals are exceedingly
wary and live in wilds far removed from
the average city. After finding the
quarry, it takes perfect GOODNESS and self
control to bag the game. A man with
nerves trained by a regular use Of golden
grain belt beer makes the best hunter
and likewise the best man for business or
any other enterprise. If you want per-
feet body under perfect control use this
delicious beverage as q medicine.
