MINING NOTES.

The interesting scientific fact that
nothing which falls into the deepest
shaft of the Calumet & Hecla mine, the
deepest in the world, ever reaches the
bottom has been demonstrated at the
Red Jacket shaft. Every article no
matter what shape or size it may be,
is invariably found cliRging to the
east side of the shaft.
NJ E. Matthias and J. B. McFadden,
working night shift in the Saginaw
mine, near Deadwood, were found dead
in the tunnel. They had been killed
by a premature blast.
Suits in which more than 100 far
mers are involved were begun recently
against the shelters Of the Amalga-
mated Copper company at Anaconda
for damages aggregating about ST.
100000 for alleged destruction of crops
and live stock in the Deer Lodge
valley as the result of the smelter
smoke from the Washoe and Ana
conda plants.
Lake Pend d'Oreille mining region
is experiencing greater activity than it
has known for some time on account
of the erection of the Panhandle
smelter near Standpoint, Idaho.
Ellis & Ludwig, near Greenhorn,
Idaho, who have a lease and bond on
the Don Juan mine, are running five
stamps on ore from the old workings,
above the tunnel level, and are getting
good results. AS soon as a plate can
be secured for the other battery they
will run 10 stamps.
Two shifts of miners have been
placed at work on the Sunrise group
of nine claims, yocated on the north
side of Sunset peak, near Wallace, Ida.
Last week the CRANKY smelter treat
ed more ore than ever before in it's
history.
Stockholders of the Mckinley mine,
situated on the Salmon river near
Lucille, Idaho, have received reports
Of the first run made by the one stamp
mill that was recently installed on
the property. AS trial run 500 tons

Ben Schultz of Nez Perez and his
associates of Uniontown, Wash, who
recently purchased the North Star
mine in Buffalo Hump, have started
development work and are said to have
a good showing.
The American Smelling & Rein

TRAINS IN COLLISION
CARS HURLED down EMBANK.
MENT AT ST. PAUL, MINI.
500 Line Passenger Train ColIides
With Great Western Stock Train
One Passenger Killed and Five Seri-
ously Injured-Defect in Air Brakes
the Cause-Wreck Caught Fire.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. "A 500 line
the Union passenger station, cOllided
with a Chicago, Great Western fast
stock train at the North street viaduct.
The force of the collision sent five OF
the passenger cars down 25 foot en-
bankment. One passenger is dead and
five were seriously injured. while a
score of more were slightly bruised.
That no more were killed or injured is
due to the fact that the train was
nearly empty, having discharged the
greater number of its passengers at
the Union station here.
Dead and Injured.
The dead:
Mrs. Clara M. Croft, Minneapolis.
The seriously injured:
Mrs. Dutch, Minneapolis.
Mrs. Thompson.
H. S. Moore, Montreal, Canada.
Mrs. Wilkinson, Minneapolis.
Mr.. Martin, Minneapolis.
The slightly injured:
Hall Wilkinson, Minneapolis; Mr..
Wilkinson, Minneapolis, father of Hall
Wilkinson; Frank Martin, Brooklyn,
N. Y; Cyrus Berglund, New York city;
G. J. Keenan,, New York city; Miss
Grughlin, New York; w. E. Haskell
and wife, Boston; William M. Hall,
Minneapolis.
1t is feared that two or three of the
seriously injured may die. Mr.. Mar
tin, who has a fractured skull, is in a
critical condition.
Twenty were treated at the Union
depot by surgeons, and nearly all OF
them were able to go home or continue
their journey to Minneapolis.
w. E. Haskell, who is among those
slightly injured, formerly owned the
Minneapolis Times, but is now con-
nected with a Boston newspaper.
Air Brakes Fail to Work.
The direct cause of the accident was
the failure of the air brakes on the
stock train to work. The 500 line pas
senger train had just left the depot
for Minneapolis and was crossing the
Chicago-Great Western tracks, about
four blocks east of the station. The
track at this point runs along high
embankment. The fast Great Western
stock train, coming along at a pretty
good speed, struck the passenger
train in the middle. The Pullman
coaches were hurled over the embank-
ment, landing upside down In
wrecked heap, 25 feet below. The
wreckage caught fire, but it was ex-
tinguished promptly. A squad Of police
and all the hospital ambulances, along
with a large corps of surgeons, were
on the spot in a short time and the in
jured we're quickly taken from the
wreck to this city.

Thief IS Caught.
STOLEN SECURITIES FROM new
YORK BANK Are RECOVERED.
Young Man Made Full Confession
of Having Stolen $3.50, 900 in Securi-
ties-Have Been Recovered-Was
Arrested While Going to Church.
Thought He Could Not Be Detected.

New York, Oct. 3.-LOcked up in
police headquarters, with his full con-
fession in the possession of Captain
John McCauley, is the young man who
by means of a forged check recently
obtained from the National City bank,
securities valued at $359,OS0. He was
arrested just as he stepped from his
home and was on his way to church.
Four hours later he broke down, and
in a flood of tears told the complete
story of his crime.
Captain McCauley of the detective
bureau has in his possession all of
the stolen securities.
In order that the full ends Of Justice
may not be defeated and because Of
the fact that the father and mother Of
the young man have not been inform
ed of his crime or of his arrest, his
name is withheld. He has not been
connected with the National City
bank, which was robbed, nor with
Pearl & Co., the firm of bankers which
had hypothecated with the bank the
securities that were purloined.
He has for several years been the
transfer clerk in one of the best
known brokerage firms in Wall street
He is "a years of age, and has been
regarded by his employers and by his
friends as model of propriety and
honesty. His position was one of re-
sponsibility and trust. His engage
ment to a young woman, we'll known
in society in this city, was recently
announced, and he was soon to have
been married.
According to the confession he
signed the crime was all his own from
its inception to it's execution. He had
made arrangements to dispose of the
stocks and bonds which he had stolen,
but at the time of his arrest not one
of them had been hypothecated by
him.
After he had completed and signed
his confession he said that until the
moment Of his arrest he could not be-
lieve that he could be detected.

DEPOsIToRs ARE TO SHARE.
In Profits Of Mutual Bank in the City
Of Chicago.

Of Chicago.
Chicago.-An original idea in q
banking, profit sharing plan, was put
in force when the Mutual bank opened
recently. Depositors and stockholders
are to share alike in the profits. I'm
der the plan, which is cooperative,
the bank is to pay per cent on saw
ings deposits and 3 per cent to stock
holders, and then the profits are to be
divided equally between depositors
and stockholders. The officers and di-
rectors take the position that de-
positors are the backbone of the bank,
and the policy of profit sharing will
promote closer business relations be-
tween the bank and it's patrons, with
mutual benefit.
The organization of the new bank
has been accomplished with a view to
inspiring public confidence through
the prominence Of its officers and di-
rectOrs. Each of the stockholders, di-
rectors and officers is identified with
large business concerns, and has an
assured standing. Inc Mutual starts
with capital of $25OOOO and a sur
plus of $4,000

FOR ARMY CANTEEN,
Fear Problem This
Session.

Session.
The fight over the army canteen
promises to come to the front again
when congress meets. 1t was abolish
ed at all the posts and the homes of
the old soldiers several years ago. The
temperance societies and the church
influence were responsible for the &C.
ton taken by congress. Nine out Of
10 commanders of the posts testified
that it would be better to maintain the
canteen, in which the soldiers could
get beer and light wines, but the op-
position seemed to think it was not
the right sort of business for Uncle
Sam to be engaged in. Most of the
saloon keepers agreed with the re-
ligious and antiwhisky people. The
officers predicted that drunkenness
would greatly increase after the aboli-
ton of the canteen, and all the infor-
nation now being received at the war
department goes to show that they
were right.

The Egyptian customs administra-

Of 'hashish" during the past few days,
says the Pail Mall Gazette. At Alex
andria over ton was captured In one
lot and it was valued at nearly f3,5OO.
The restrictions against "hashish" in
this country are most rigorous. Its
indulgence Is forbidden both by the
Mohammedan religion and by law.
Formerly "hashish" was imported only
by way Of Alexandria, but owing to
the sharp outlook which was kept the
importers had to seek other means.
Ii Is now landed on the coast Of Tri-
poll and thence conveyed across coun-
try. This increases the difficulties Of
capture, and SO the government Is
changing its tactics and instead Of
trying to stop the importation is en-
deavoring to prevail on the government
Of Greece to prohibit the cultivation
of the drug in that country.
AS new commercial convention Is
being drawn up between Greece and
Egypt, the present is an suspicious
moment for insisting on this prohibit
ton. The Hellenic government de-
murs at having to interdict the cult
walton Of "hashish." as this Is one Of
the chief resources of the PelopOnne-
sus; still as tho number Of "hashihses"
or hashish smokers Is increasing rap
idly in the Fraeus as well, the Greek
authorities will soon find themselves
forced to take the proposed step in the
interests Of their own subjects.
"Hashish" Is INDUCED in to an enor-

cially. There are no public dens, as
they have all been cleared out But
many an innocent-look1ng private
house forms the cloak behind which
the smoking Of this demoralizing prod
uct is carried on in peace and without
fear Of interference by the police. This
is one Of the reasons why insanity has
increased to such an alarming extent
in Egypt AS far as one can see. the
only effect the campaign against
"hashish" has had, is to increase its
cost-it now stands at 80 francs a

mited five miles from Ballard ut 8:45.

Manager I. Wa1ing of the Great
Northern Express company says he
does not know how much money the
messenger carried, but believes the
amount was small.
After securing the contents of the
safe the three men started off in an
easterly direction It is believed other
members of the gang are ahead of the
scene of the holdup and the robbers
Joined them.
The train was tagged near the brick
yard, and as the engineer slowed up
two Of the men, wearing raincoats,
climbed over the tender and presented
revolvers to his head.
Then the engineer and fireman were
marched to the baggage Car door.
The messenger was commanded to
open the door, and, refusing, an extra
heavy charge Of dynamite was placed
against it and exploded. The explosion

pulled into Edmonds, where a report
was sent before continuing to Everett.
The two boys were taken along.

engaged in the robbery. While the
robbers were engaged on the safe, the
two boys who had been riding on the

through the train. attempting to hold.

but took advantage of the timidity of
the passengers, while the shooting was
going on outside. Conductor Grant
