An Old Mine ReGivivus.


Marcus White came over from Flint,
Tuesday, on snowshoes, aud has been
detained here on account of the storm
He and his brother have been working
on the old Last Glance property in
Hardup gulch, upou which Fred Crete
and Jack Way, good many years ago
sunk shaft, took out some fine silver
ore, aud afterward sold the property to
NJ. +. Leech, who started tunnel to
cut under the shaft at depth of $50
feet, but for some cause abandoned it
before completed. The property laid
idle for some time, and was relocated
by John Martincourt. The latter then
gave a half interest in the claim to
White Brothers for completing Leech's
tunnel to the ledge, and during his i'll
ness, before he died, decided his other
half interest to the same parties. This
was several years ago, but they kept the
mine represented Having since come
into possession of means they decided
to further prospect it. They have made
an upraise to connect the crosscut with
the old shaft and have now sunk below
the tunnel level 36 feet coming into rich
ore again-richer than any formerly
taken out-at depth Of 286 feet from
the surface, and it looks like they
would make mine Of it which would
excel its early history. MIR. White
brought over with him some samples of
ore taken from the bottom of their
shaft which show very rich ruby silver,
and says that besides having a wide
streak Of this ore, the vein is the full
width OF the shaft in high grade silver
ore. They propose to sink 40 feet fur
ther, start drift on the vein and then
begin stopping.
If we remember correctly, Leech paid
Way and Crete $4,000 for the Last
Chance, is or II years ago, at about the
same time making deal for the Flint
property, and abandoned it when the
Flint deal fell through.s Way, Leech
and Martincourt have all since died,
Hardup Gulch is about one mile north
of Flint, on the road to Silver City, and
is in the same granite formation which
protrudes at Flint. White Brothers
own other properties in Twilight Gulch
between this claim and Flint.

AS to Assessment Work
Doing it from one point for two or

Doing it from one point for two or
more claims.
Assessment work must be done on,
or for the benefit of, each claim each
year When several claims are held in
common and are contiguous, work may
be done on one Of them on a main shaft
or tunnel, provided that method obvi-
ously tends to develop all the claims in
a group, depends upon local conditions.
1t is safer 10 do the work on each claim.
Where work is done, however, on one
claim for the benefit of several, the
aggregate amount must be the equiva-
lent of 500 for each claim; for example,
If the group consists OF five claims, 5000
must be expended in improvements

Marcus White, when coming over
here from Flint, on snowshoes, met
two Spaniards, wading in snow waist
deep, about mile this side of Cotton
wood summit, who had started from
here that morning to go to woodcamp
on Boulder. They had lost their course
and were travelling at right angles to
the right direction, and we're we'll worn

The Advice That Dr..
Vile Gives to His
Friends.

81 tell my friends that if they can
not get to Heaven they should at least
get as near TO it as possible and visit
Hawaii, said DIR. Vile yesterday. The
Doctor is here to clean up his Hawaiian
interests, not because he has lost faith
in the country in the least, but on ac-
count of d distressing accident recently
to Mrs. Vile, which makes it impera-
tive that the Doctor he free to attend
her. His poi mill here is being offered
for sale at auction, but the trade mark
for the Hawaiian product he has been
marketing and the charter rights for
it's manufacture are not being sold with
the mill. These have already been dis
posed of to Honolulu people, whose
names will be made public within a few
days.
81 have always been delighted with
these islands, continued DR.. Vile.

Dan H. Case, County Attorney for
Maui and one of the delegation sent
by the business interests of the Ha-
,yaiian Islands to Washington to pre-
sent before the Senate and House
committees of Congress arguments
backing up President Roosevelt's rec
.ommendation for seventy-five per
cent refund to the Territory OF
revenues accruing to the United States
therein, returned yesterday on the
Alameda, and While inclined to be
doubtful about the outcome of the mat
ter. yet he is hopeful for some measure
of success.
Speaker Cannon of the House is the
only stumbling block in the way of
achievement. Mr.. Case thinks, and 1t
is on his attitude that he believes the
entire matter hinges. Just before leaV-
ing San Francisco Mr.. Case received
secretary to Delegate Kalanianaole, in
answer to a telegraphic query sent the
day before. Mr.. MeClellan's telegram
read:
More encourag ging for five year
term. Committee considering. Enthu-
siasm lacking"

wears instead of twenty years." said
Mr.. Case. ..or to shorten the term
rather than the amount. On the other
nand, they might lessen the amount
and give it to us the full period we
asked We decided that it would not
be advisable TO put forth an argu-
nent in favor of a less amount.
There seems to be sentiment
among the senators and representatives
that the whole proposition is in the
nature of an experiment. 1t is
precedent and the question of estab-
fishing such a precedent might be
serious. l think they realize that II
they pass the act at all 1t is better not
10 commit themselves for such a long
period as twenty years. Yet | beileVe
they can see no harm if the measure
is passed for, say, five years.
Il infer from this telegram from
Mcclellan that Uncle Joe cannon Is
strongly blocking the measure on the
clause. He is conscien-
tious and he feels that we stand on |
the same footing as any other Terri
tory. or that we should not have any |
special privileges that could not be |
extended to other Territories.
However, 1 think Speaker Cannon |
is relenting. The committee does not !
want to report, L infer. unless it sees |
sonIe sign of success. 1t doesn't want |
to report measures which may go by |
default and they are feeling their way |
very carefully.
Everyone we met in Washington I
was very courteous to us and people |
all over the country seemed to be anx-
ious to get all the information possible
about Hawaii.
I'VE saw the President. His manner
was cordial and he greeted us with his
famous phrase, Delighted to see YOU
Roosevelt is all right. In my estima-
ton he is the best President we ever
had.

been here in the islands. even though
for only day, take a great deal OF
interest in Hawaiian affairs.
