Necessary" Supplies.
An important admiralty decision.


PORTLAND, Me-, May 8. Judge Hale
OF the Z. S. district court has handed
down an admiralty decision of great
Importance. A libel was filed by Sam.
uel Rosenberg & Bro. against the fish
ing schooner Mary F. Chisholm, ful
supplies, seamen's clothing, tobacco
and other articles furnished to the
crew just as she was leaving port on a
mackerel trip.
Judge Hale holds that the statute
does not apply to supplies furnished to
the crew of vessel, but has direct ref
erence to supplies which are necessary
to a vessel, to continue in the prosecu
ton of her voyage. The libel was or
dered dismissed. This in the first time

THE BIG CREEK
MINING CAMP
Development Work on Many Properties
Showing High Values.
WILL BUILD ROAD FROM WARREN
Provisions are Scarce but Pack
Trains are on the Trail.

c. 0. Clark and B. F. Goldman
arrived here Saturday from the
Big Creek mining district and are
enthusiastic over the outlook for
that camp. During the past win.
ter great amount of work has
been done and the results are most
gratifying.
Hand and Robinson are working
two shifts on the Gold Hill and
have some very rich ore in sight.
ii. Freyer manager of the Pueblo
Mining company, had just arrived
and had started force of men Ia
work on the Snow Drift. They
have an eight foot ledge and have
received some splendid assays,
some running as high as s24O ton.
Two shifts are at work on the
Blue Bird belonging to D. 7. Davis
and they are now within 80 feet
of their ledge which was 40 feet
wide on the surface.
The Coveny gronp belonging to
z. Coveny and sons of this city,
has been working all winter and il
is reported that they have bonded
their property to the Werdenhoff
people.
The Werdenhoff has been work
ing about 20 men and will put on
more as soon as provisions can be
brought in. On Logan creek the
Empress, Lucky Jim and Jim
Green claims have all had men at
work during the winter.
A scarcity of provisions has been
serious drawback but as Mr..
Clark came out train of 30 pack
animals was met going in with sup
plies for the Wordenhoff, Crown
and Independence people. The
large amount of freight that will
have to be taken into this camp
this season has led to the neces-
sity OF building a better road and
the principal companies now have
a surveying party in the field and
will construct a wagon road from
Warren to the mouth of Elk creek
to the camp. Ex-Governor Hunt
has charge of the work and expects
to have it completed this summer.
With this done Mr.. Clark says
II road was built from Goff up
the Salmon river all freight would
go in from this way. AS he came
out he gave close attention to the
route and believes by putting in
one or two ferries the work could
be accomplished at small expense.
Mr.. Clark has gone on to Lewis
ton to attend meeting of the
Success Gold Mining company
which property he has been man
aging.
He has also just completed
deal bonding the Blue Grouse
group adjoining the Coveny and
Wordenhoff mines. This group is
owned by Samuel Overton and S.
G. McDaniels and is known to be
one of the most promising proper
ties in the district. The bond is
for $4,000 all to be paid within
Is months.

ASA NEWBLL'S
CONFESSION
Admits That h0 Robbed Uncle Sans
tt Nail.
'HE GOT THREE REGISTERED LRTTERS
Confession Secured by p. O.
Inspector Fullinwider.

Asa Newell who now lies in the
county Jail to answer for the shoot.
ing OF Henry Kuther at Denver
last March has now another charge
to answer for and by his own con-
fession admits that he is guilty OF
robbing the United States mail.
In 1902 Newell was engaged in
carrying the mail between Kamiah
and Cottonwood for ]. N. Eller
who was the contractor. When
the mail reached Cottonwood on
May 6 it was found that three
registered letters were missing al
though Postmaster Stubbers at
Green Creek had received and re.
ceipted for them at that Office.
The matter was Immediately re-
ported to the department and an
inspector sent here to investigate
the case. In this investigation it
was learned that Newell and Bert
Rhodes had come into Cottonwood
together on that trip and the next
day Newell exhibited a 500 bill
which he accounted for by saying
he had sold a horse to, Rhodes,
which story Rhodes corroborated.
The case drifted along in this con-
dition and the department. was un-
able to get evidence which thew
considered sufficient to cause arrest
until Inspector J. r. Fullinwider
learned that the parties suspected
were under arrest here and last
Saturday succeeded in getting a
full confession from Newell. New
ell admitted to taking the three
letters but claimed he distracted
them from a rip in the pouch where
a hole had been worn by rubbing
against the saddle.
In one letter there was S25 in cur
rency, in another 81 in silver, and
in the third a number of checks,
the amount or signatures of which
he did not remember. The checks
and envelopes were taken to Cot
tonwood where he burned them
and the money appropriated to his
own use. He says Rhodes had
nothing to do with the robbery
and had only ridden with him the
latter part of the journey and after
wards he had asked him, if any
one inquired if he had sold him q
horse to say that he had.
The confession will come as
surprise to those interested and
will be relief to the postmasters
at Cottonwood and Green Creek
who are known to be honorable
men but have been forced under
cloud of suspicion with the depart
ment by unfortunate circum-
stances.
