MINING NOTES.

The belief that there are rich veins
of gold ore in the Cascade mountains
in Washington is evidenced by the in
terest being taken in the resu.,s of
the mining operations now in prog
ress there. The Red Mountain dis
trict is just now receiving attention,
a number of capitalists having just
returned from a visit to the hed
Mountain country.
Announcement was made at the
Mother Lode mine of the British Col
umbia Copper company that hereafter
the time of surface men at the prop
erty will be nine hours, with the same
pay as heretofore. The CRANKY com
pany put the nine-hOur rule into force
at its mines last week and the Domin-
ion Copper company did the same
thing this week, the surface employees
of all kinds working nine hours now
instead of 10 hours.
The Snowstorm Mining company at
a directors meeting at Mullan, Idaho,
has purchased the lease of the upper
workings of the mine from Greenough
Bros. and John H. Howard & Co. at
a price of 1925, 600, payable in shares
of the company at 81 each.
Word has reached here that a strike
of copper has been made on the
Maple Leaf property in Franklin.
The drilling match between Patter-
sen and Backlund, the winning team
in the big contest held in Wallace,
Idaho, July 5, and Cox and Johns, the

had pulled down his money. Cox de.
sired to have Baker, another crack
drillcr, s%upplant him in the match, but
the opposing team objected, so all
bets were declared off and the for
felt money refunded. There was just
a quarter of an inch difference in
their holes.
1he rock drilling contest at Wal

newspapers throughout the northwest

CAPTAIN pREYFus CASE.
1t Is Hoped France Will Clear His
Record.

So clearly to the public mind was
the innocence of Captain Dreyfus es-
tablished at the Rennes courtmartial
in 1899 that there is no approach in
the present hearing to the wide
spread interest manifested at that
time. 1t is now nearly IL years since
the Dreyfus case opened. Captain
Dreyfus was accused of having sold
military secrets to Germany. His first
trial was a secret one. He was con-
yicted, subjected to military degrade
ton and was transported to the lonely
Isle du Diable.
The testimony produced against him
by several officers was shown to have
been false, and one after another they
resigned, committed suicide or were
removed from the active list of the
army.
Still the war office maintained it's
belief in the guilt of Dreyfus. Finally,
however, an order for a retrial was
obtained. Again a sentence of guilty
was rendered, but on evidence of the
himsiest character. Dreyfus was SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for 10 years,
from which the term of his previous
confinement was to be deducted, The
members of the courtmartial, though
declaring him guilty, united in a rec
ommendation for mercy, and he was
pardoned by President Loubet.
While this gave Dreyfus his liberty,
it did not officially establish his limo
Il nor restore to him his military
his home for the past six years, wait
ing for the opportunity, which he be
lieyes has now come, to obtain full
justice.
