Legends of Old Mines
American mining engineers
are familiar with speculative
schemes, based upon the rea
or supposed former productive
ness of the mines upon which
they are started. To say moth
ing of such enterprises as tina
of Richard Burton, who Thought
he had rediscovered in Egypl
the sources of Solomon's treas
ure Gtself somewhat mythica },
there are more recent instances
in abundance, The books OF
Humboldt and Ward on Mexico
gave rise, in the first half of the
Nineteenth Century, TO an i'm
mense and disastrous invest
ment of English capital in the
uuwatering of old Mexican gold
and silver mines, on the
strength of reports from Gov
ernment archieves," showing
their immense production, and
Sundry legends, accounting for
their temporary abandonment.
In the prospectuses of such
schemes, references to pesti-
lence, war, quarrels among
owners, etc, as the causes of
the Interruption OF an almost
incredibly profitable business,
are we'll known features
No doubt, all ancient e.I-
dence, whether historical or
legendary, has its value for
mining enterprises; but it IS
well to bear in min / that Mexi'
can miners did not usually leave
rich ore when they stopped
working a mine, and there is
another proposition, appl cable
to many mines outsi lie of Mext-
CO, yet too often overlooked,
namely: The record OF past
production is a measure, not
of what is left, but of what is
not left, in the ore deposit of a
niue,
There is, however, a new
kind of ancient evidence, the
use of which, in support of min
ing schemes, may be equally
misleading aud is less honest,

was held today in $500 bail each by
Magistrate COnnerton in the police
court in Flushing. The boy was turn
ed over to the children's society.
The case was called to the attention
of the police by neighbors of the Mel.
son family. These neighbOrs say
that Mr.. Nelson owns the farm which
is worth $40, 900, but rather than
commit the boy to an asylum he kept
him chained like a dog in the corn
crib. The detectives say that when
they released the boy he started off
on all fours, apparently not knowing
how to walk erect.
In the court his gibbering continu.

er tried TO speak to him he tried to

to make the boy talk, but the lad

The lines Of this division are heav-
lily loaded and complicated, making
the test necessarily a bard one, but
great results were achieved. Mr..
Clark operated the calls, and chose as
the first test points, the St Maries
station, which offers more resistance
than any other line on the SYSTEM
The addition Of this coil made tn
line work easy and the results obtain
ed were good. Wallace vas the
next point called aud the results were
satisfactory, Missoula, Deer Lodge,
and Helena, Mont. were next called,
and the people at the other end could
understand distinctly. The supreme
test came when Bozeman was called.
The operators at that city could dis.
timely understand every word said
by the operator at this end, but the
parties In this city were unable TO
hear a word from the other end, and
the messages had TO be repeated back
on the relay system. Father Purcell
entertained Mr.. Sauve during his stay
in the city and is one Of the first to
lend Mr.. Sauve assistance In the fi:st
efforts Of the inventor.

TELEPHONING
What Is Claimed the Sauye In
duction Coil Will Do

S. H. Sauve, of the Sauve Electric
company Of Spokane, was a visitor in
the city last evening and today. Mr..
Sauve was formerly connected with
the Pacific States Telephone COM
pany, and is the inventor of the new
Sauve induction coil, having secured
patents in the United States and
Canada as we'll as European coun-
tries, which means a mighty revolu-
ton in the telephone and Geographic
service, as it is applicable To either,
and the object of the coil is to in
crease the efficiency without a cores
ponding increase in the size.
Two years ago when Mr.. Suave
made test, every telephone company
did all in their power to assist him,
the points on the line of the test be.
ing Spokane, Seattle and San Fran
cisco. 1t was a hard one, owing 90
the great resistance. The hardest
test was when Mr.. Chas. W. Reynolds
of the Spokane division, operated the
machine. Seattle called San Fran
cisco, and the parties in San Franz Is
co could hear distinctly every word
uttered by the party in Seattle. he
supreme test was made when Los An.
gelss was called. The operators in
Los Angeles were able % hear dis
tinetly what was said BY parties in
Seattle and Spokane, bat owing to
their not having Sauve coil ATTACHED
at that end OF the line, the Spokane
and Seattle operators were unable to
hear word from Los Angeles, and
il was necessary TO repeat back me
messages along the line.
Since the time Of this test, Mr..
Sauve has been working on the coil
for improving its efficiency and has
been very successful. The general
manager of the Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone company, hearing OF Che
new features of the coil ordered Mr..
Hall, manager Of this city and dis
trict, and Mr.. Clark, wire chief. 10
lend Mr.. SaIve all possible assistance
in making any test over this division.
Mr.. Hall and Mr.. Clark have been
watching the results Of the coil for
some time and accordingly invited
Mr. SauEe TO come 10 this city and
make = test.

BIG SHOSHONE

Washington, d. c., Nov. iO.--The
Occur d'Alene forest reserve az q
600. 900 acres. has besn created II
Idaho BY the president. In ether
words the Occur d'Alena rasarye has
been extended 50 m to include the
proposed Shoahone forest reserves
which has met with determined oppo-
stion from Senator Hepburn. A
statement issued BY the forestry bu /.
rsau 10 connection says in part IS
follows.
The value Of The region lies
wholly in its timber, water and min
eral resources. At present the stand
OF timber Is estimated at 6,s4a, 600, :
600 feet but fires, which are Of con.
slant occurrence and are rapidly In
creasing, are making serious inroads
upon Ii. Countless fires in this reg.
ion have recently destroyed millions
Of feet Of timber. As these lands 10

Of tree growth where burns are re-
peated great portion Of Nez Perce

on areas contiguous TO the Occur a.
Aiene mining district, which alone
consumes annually more than 80
600, 600 feet OF timber.
Examination by the government
also developed the further fact that

LAND FRAUD
CASES ON TRIAL
Charges of. Perjury and Threats
Of Violence

grand jury witnesses are in Moscow.
The defendants have been active in
discussing the timber fraud matters
with them, while the government men
have been keeping close watch on the
friends Of defendants and defendants
themselves.
Moscow is 30 full Of secret service
men that defendants are cautious
about discussing cases to be tried
this month unless they know their
men for fear they may talk to a gov
eminent man and give the prosecu-
ton an inkling Of what defendants
plans are. Outwardly the govern
ment is not active, but it is known
that secretly much work is being
done.
Defendants have rented about a
score of rooms in the Del Norte hotel
where conferences are being held
night and day. The government
officials are domiciled at the Moscow
hotel, where an equal number of con-
ferences are held.
The defense is confident the trials
will come to naught, while the gov
eminent officials refuse to talk aside
from saying wait to see. !"
