Not to be behind in the matter of rich ore the Leland mine last week opened upa splendid body of ore in the winze below the lower tunnel on that property. This ore is said to have a width of three feet and the values are somewhere around thousand dol lars per ton. While possibly the entire three feet will not give this large value it is presumed that the average of the Gre will be very high. The ore is free milling, the gold being in condition that can be readily saved on plates The tunnels on the property reach 8 depth of 80J feet under the apex of the vein and this with the winze opens the mine to a depth of about 900 feet, showing continuous body of ore to that depth and of great length. From the portal of the drift to the breast there is scarcely break in the vein, although in some places the values may become lower. In the main the values remain high enough to make practically every pound of ore taken out in the work of development to run through the mill at profit. Ore that will mill 4S to the ton can be handled at a profit. On the north side of the mountain the tunnel is being pressed forward to a connection with the tun- nel from the south side and as soon as connection is made the rich ores in that section of the mine can be rushed to mill. It is reported that splendid bodies of ore have been opened up in that part of the mine, but owing to their inaccessibility at the present time these ores cannot be taken tc mill. For this reason work is being rushed on the tunnel to connection About 4)0 feet now remains to be GU, out. The mine is one of the great properties of the coast.

Refuses to Pay Fine.
SEATTLE AFTER LARGE SUM.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 1.-THE
chamber of commerce will undertake
to have a bill passed by the coming
Legislature, whereby money derived
by the state from the sale and lease of
tidelands shall be set apart in a special
fund to be used for the improvement
of Seattle harbor and to reclaim up
ward of $1,000,0O0 derived by the state
from this source and used in the pay
ment of general fund state warrants.
To this end it may be necessary to
have an expert accountant go to Olym-
land commission to ascertain just how
much of Seattle tideland money has
been used for other purposes than i'm
provement of the local harbors.
Collected Under Old Law.
Several years ago the legislature
passed a law that all moneys re-
ceived from the sale and lease of state
tidelands within municipal corpora
ton should be set apart for the i'm
provement of the harbors of that cor
poration. At the beginning of Governor
Rogers administration this act was
amended SO that these funds were
transferred to the general fund account
of the state. At the time the transfer
was made there were several hundred
thousand dollars to the credit of Sc
attic harbors, and since then the state
has received like funds, until the to-
tai it is believed, will reach nearly
100000.

Manager King of the Walla Walls
that he has arranged fine card fol
Thanksgiving eve, Wednesday, No

The program is to include three rat
Ting good preliminaries, battle
royal, in which four colored men will
participate, the whole to wind up with
a go to decision between Joe Robertson
Of Los Angeles and Jack Curley OF
Winnipeg, two of the cleverest and
most evenly matched mitt artists who
ever appeared at the local club.
Ed Terrell, who undoubtedly has the
goods, is to mix it up with dark
horse from the garrison, in one of the
preliminaries and the event for several
good reasons is likely to be a hot
one from start to finish
In the battle royal, Sam Towks says
he can only see things coming one di-
rection and the way he is throwing
baggage around the Hotel Dacres these
days to keep in training for the event
has increased his number of hackers.
Regarding the big event of the eve
ming both Mr.. Curley and Mr.. Rober-
son say, Just wait and see." Each one
is confident of getting the decision
and both men are now training hard
for the go" Robertson. says that his
arm that was injured during his last
go is now all right and he expects to
enter the ring strong" on the evening
of the 23d. There is no doubt about it
but that this contest will be we'll worth
seeing.
Manager King thinks it will be
standing room only at the club house
next Wednesday night.

News of the Manchurian Army" pub

most daring band of Hunghuses in
Manchuria is commanded by a dis
graced Japanese colonel, named Hi

lows:
When the war broke out HiyOdi
asked to be readmitted to the army as
a private soldier. His request was re-
fused. He then declared, it is said, that
h would make war on his own account.
He shipped to the Yalu in junk, and,
making his way overland, obtained a
Craftsmanship among the Hunghuses by
distributing literally forged paper
money. Hiyodi first operated on the
railway near Taschichac, but has now
gone north. He is a big, bearded man,
resembling a European, but dresses in
Chinese garb, wearing a crysanthemum
flag as a necktie. He invariably
charges at the head of his men, and
once shot down a subordinate for run
ming ahead Of him.
Hiyodi has sworn to make war on
Russia as long as he has life. Japan
he says, may make peace, but l will
continue the war as long as I live. If
Russia is driven from Manchuria,
will migrate to Siberia, and make war
there"

HE'LL "ROT" IN JAIL FIRST.
Julius Lotto, a Carpenter, Did Not
Send His Son to School.


SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 1T will
rot in Jail before pay that fine" ang-
rily announced julius Lotje to Justice
Hinkle, just after Lotje had been con-
victed of not sending one of his chill
dren to school six months during the
past year and had been fined $40 and
costs. Pursuant to his selection, Lot
je went to the county Jail last night
to begin his sentence and save the
charged against him.
Lotje is carpenter and has been
living with his wife and two children
at $3.50 Browne street. Truancy OFF,
GER B. G. Peters and other school au-
thorities have been after him hot and
heavy because he was not sending his
children to school, and he was arrested
several days ago for the offense, but
was permitted to go on his own recog-
nizance, pending the trial.
At the trial he started to put UP a
bold defense, but was put to rout by
Mrs. Mary A. Monroe, principal of the
Lincoln school, the first woman teacher
who has appeared in police court in
connection with the enforcement of
the truancy law. Others who gave
testimony damaging to Lotto were
Professor Seth c. Wilson, principal of
the Hawthorne school, and c. C. Hol-
Eel, principal of the Houston school.
Music Young Lotje's Bane.
Mrs. Monroe testified that the Lotje
children were in the Lincoln school for
while. but the boy had not attended
this year the excuse having been given
that his father was displeased because
of the low percentage he got in music
Mr.. Holzel testified that the boy at
tended his school from September to
December of last year. Mr.. Wilson said
the boy had tried to get admission to
the Hawthorn school, but had been de-
MED because he lived outside the dis
trict.
In his own behalf Lotto said he had
taken the boy out of the Lincoln school
because he had learned nothing while
attending the school, and indications
were that he would remain in the third
grade about IA years if he attended the
school that long. The father said he
had been ill and was too poor to send
the boy to the Houston school.
Il shall fine you $40 for this offense,"
said Justice Hinkle.
Refuses to Pay Fine.
Very WELL fine me if you want to-
put me in Jail. I'll stay there till 1 rot
before l pay this fine"
Put him in JAIL said the court to
Bailiff Brockman.
Before starting for the county Jail
Lotje asked that his family be notified
Of the result of the case and of his de-
termination to be locked up.
