GAMBLERS MADE
TO GET OUT.


Forty years of gambling came to a
spectacular end in Hot Springs, Ark.
when the City Improvement Union, of
five hundred citizens, closed thirty gam
bling rooms and gave q battalion of
gamesters a few hours to leave the
city.
The manner in which the gamblers
were literally drummed out of town
was sensational in the extreme. Dis
gusted by the continued evasion of
their duty by the sworn officers of the
law the twenty-three executives Of the
union had issued final warning, both
to the recalcitrant officers and to the
gamblers, that the rooms must be found
closed at once.
No heed was paid to the warning,
and the entire membership of the
union, headed by brass band, marched
to the city hall police headquarters and
court house and forced State, county
and city officials to raid and close the
gambling houses forthwith, the FIVE
hundred going along to see that It was
done properly. To the roll Of drums
and the blare of trumpets playing
patriotic airs, such gamblers as were
found were marched to the union sta
ton and ordered to take the train out
and return no more. Five hundred
gamblers, cappers and women have
gone, and fully $500, 900 worth of para
phernalia is boxed for shipment.
A thought If in prohibition cOun-
ties the people would come together in
a similar determined manner to get rid
of blind tiger violators of the law,
might not a sentiment be created that
would almost rid any county of them?
Again, If the best peopl. Of counties
would organize and show a determine
ton to rid themselves of loafing, dis
honest, vagrant criminals, might not
any community find something doing
as was the case at Hot Springs?

OF common occurrence.
The Lost Packer plant will af-
ford a local market for outside
ores in addition to those of its
own property. Several new
companies have been incorporat-
ed and considerable development
work is in progress on the differ
ent groups this winter. The in
terest in this line will doubtless
be greatly extended as soon as
spring opens and the high-grade
product of the Lost Packer smell
ter commences to find its way to
the market. The field offers
some exceptional advantages for
the investment of capital and it
is most likely from present ap-
pearences to become producer
of very considerable Importance.
1t is reached from Mackay, the
terminus of the Lost River
branch of the Oregon Short Line
railway, then by daily stage over
good road to the mine via.
Challis and Custer.
The Lost Packer company
have built an excellent wagon
road from Custer to the mine, a
distance of % miles, which max
es the district quite accessible.
ESTES MOUNTAIN.
MONTANA GROUP. Between
Loon creek and the old camp at
Custer, at Estes Mountain, a
deep crosscut tunnel enterprise
has been rapidly pushed during
the past year for the purpose of
developing the Montana group
of mines at great depth.
The Montana was a famous
producer of high grade ore in
the early history of the Yankee
Fork district. 1t produced a
shipping mineral of gold and
silver-bearing quartz, carrying
values from 800 to $1,000 ton.
An air compressor plant has
been installed on this property
and the tunnel has already at
tanned a length of / 100 feet and
should soon encounter the prin-
cipal fissure that it was designed
to tap at depth of several hun
dred feet below the old work
ings, where handsome shoot of
ore is still exposed.
The tunnel will also intersect
several other important assures
that parallel the Montana and
ore bodies containing bonanza
values may be anticipated by
drifting along these channels as
they are encountered.
The formations of Estes Noun
tain are almost entirely of igne-
Gus origin, principally rhyolite,
porphyry and altered diabase
rocks. The fissures are well de-
fined and traceable for long dis
tances.
MCFADDEN. On the opposite
side of Estes Mountain, and on
the strike of the Montana vein
system, to the north, the Nc
Fadden mine has been developed
during the past year, at its lower
level, known as the Bellamy, or
No. 5 tunnel, where a good pay
streak of rich ore has been dis
and values of 500 gold,
and 500 ounces silver have been
in paystreak sew
eral inches wide, contained in an
ore shoot that is said to be 300
feet long and 5 to feet wide
that carries an average value of
81 in gold, accompanied with
good silver values also.

III dlOHS IDe SUrlke OF the
vein.
The Lost Packer property was
equipped with a 1OO-ton smelter
late last fall, built by the Colo
rado Iron Works of Denver, but
the finishing touches were not
put on it until the winter closed
in and shut out wagon transpor.
tation. ALI the machinery was
gotten in, however, and was put
in place, and the plant is ready
to blow in as soon as the roads
are open in the spring.
The smelter is strictly mod
ern plant of 1OO-tons daily cap
acity, jacketed to the feed floor.
1t is intended to use a comprom-
ise hot blast, pyritic process,
using coke and wood fuel, and
by the introduction of the hot
blast the fuel element of sulphur
IN the ore is taken advantage of,
giving ratio of to 6, as com
pared to coke.
The air before being supplied
to the tuyeres is heated in a
separate stove or furnace, using
cord wood fuel, the gases pass
ing through an arrangement of
massive hanging q shaped pipes.
This feature of the stove is wall
ed in by common brick, lined
with fire brick, and covered with
fire tile. The air is heated to
300 degrees G. before entering
the smelling furnace proper,
where it produces an oxidizing
as well as reducing effect. The
paystreak ore to be used in the
initial run of this smelter is high
in sulphur and also carries about
. per cent lime, and with this
process admits of a high silica
charge.
The matte to be made from the
quality of ore intended to be used
should contain about so per cent.
copper and 10 to Is ounces of
gold and so ounces of silver per
ton. The general formations of
the Loon creek district are erup-
tive GRANTEES and immense dikes
of acidic intrusive rocks, togeth-
er with some narrow belts of
higher metamorphose sediments
and blue limestone.
The district is well watered
and affords numerous excellent
opportunities for the establish
ment of water power plants. 1t
is also well timbered and while
the topography is rather rugged
it softens down at the forks of
Loon creek, where a settlement
called MCGOWAN has been estab-
lished among some gentle slopes
that afford good pasturage for
live stock.
The Lost Packer is situated
on small tributary of Loon
creek called Canon creek. At
the site of the company's opera
tions settlement has been es-
tablished, which includes post
Office that is named Ivers. An
other settlement and postoffice
has also been established at the
mouth of Canyon creek, near the
head of the old placer diggings
that is named Casio. Each of
these settlements have good
camp accommodations and some
well stocked mercantile estab-
A great many claims have
been located in the district dur
ing the past two years and a
number of them have shown up
evidences of rich ore
to those found at the
Lost Packer at the same stage
of development. These ores are
almost invariably gold and cop
per bearing, with a rusty gossen
ore at the surface that rapidly
changes to yellow copper sui
phide at comparatively shall
low depth.
The gold values of many of
ihese surrounding properties run
nigh and are generally fionred

discipline of the 'Humpty Dumpty'' COM
pany is as rigid as that of an army. Each
member of the company, even the little
children is numbered, beginning with l
and running as high as $50, so as to keep
record of attendance. Each person is re-
quired to be in the dressing room by 7:15
at night and 1:S0 on matinee days, and
upon entering the stage door the number
has to be given, so as to be credited by
the secretary and sent to the director of
the company. There is a regular system
of penalties which are imposed for any
neglect of the various rules or duties. For
instance no one is allowed to utter word
above whisper after leaving dressing
room, except when required by the ac-
ton of the play. AS a result there is no
more confusion behind the scenes than Is

the unmarried woman of uncertain years
