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 tue 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 ned
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 it's 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 Mulian, Idaho,
has purchased the lease of the upper
workings of the mine from Greenougb
Bros. and John H. Howard & Co. at
price of $225,OOO 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-
son and Backlund, the winning team
in the big contest held in Wallace,
Idaho, July 5, and Cox and Johns, the
second team, which was scheduled to
take place in Burke July 16, has been
called off owing to the fact that Cox
had pulled down his money. Cox de-
sired to have Baker, another crack
driller, supplant him in the match, but
the opposing team objected, so all
bets were declared OFF and the for
felt money refunded. There was just
quarter Of an inch difference in
their holes.
The rock drilling contest at Wal
lace, Idaho, in which Patterson and
Backlund, miners in the Ajax, de
feated seven competing teams, was
one of the most exciting athletic
events ever witnessed in the CoeuI

newspapers throughout the northwest
following the Fourth Of July celebra
ton that Wilbur Greenough, manager
of the Snowstorm mine, at Mullan
Idaho, with a teammate named Pep

TWO SUSPICIOUS MEN
CAUGHT NEAR TABOR
Sheriff Garner Approaches Them
Half Way Between Tabor
and TyndaiI.

Two young thugs who gave
their names as Frank WILSON and
George Howard were brought to
town Wednesday morning by She
riff Garner and placed in the Jail.
Both crooks were searched in the
jail and two loaded revolvers. one
20 and the other a caliber, one
pint OF nitro-glycerine, 6 pieces Of
fuse, soap, and squilt-gun were
found on their persons. They
were placed in the jail by Sheriff
Garner who waited for the alttr-
noon tram to be taken with his
prisoners to 1yndall.
These two it is supposed form a
part OF the safe-blowing gang. oil
which three are now held in lyn-
dali awaiting preliminary trial on
suspicion. This band of five visit
ed Tabor Monday and individual.
ly, some Of them have been offer
ing coat hangers for sale while
others pretended to be chair re-
pairers. Tuesday they left town
and were seen in Tyndall at which
place they disbanded, three Of
them stealing hand.cart and RI
ding to Running water. After al
irving at that place they were
spied by the railway agent who
saw them scrutinizing the condi-
ton OF the river whether it would
be possible to cross it. Upon see
ing that they could not 60 over
they. in some way, got hold OF a
team and buggy and drove off in
the direction OF Tyndall. In the
meantime the agent at at Running
Water telcgraphed to Tyndall
what he had seen and Immediately
received answer that such three
are being looked for. Sheriff Gar
ncr at once set out OF town TO
meet them and succeeded in do
ing so. and brought them with him
to the county jail.
"Wednesday morning when the
morning train from Yankton ar
rived at Tyndall Sheriff Garner
questioned the engineer whether
he saw any one on the track on
his way, and when answered in
the affirmative that two Suspicios
characters were seen by him
about two miles from Tyndall on
the track going in the direction oil
Tabor. he boarded the morning
train going cast, and luckily TO say
saw two men lying on the ground
near the track about half way bet
ween Tyndall and Tabor. The
tram at his Command vas stopped
and he, jumping off, approached
the two, commanding them 10
follow HIM. They laid no resist
ancc and thus were brought to
Tabor.
In the afternoon they were Ia
ken to Tyndall under the survcil-
lance OF the Sheriff and Albert
Jczcwski.
They were all arrested on sus-
picion and the only evidence
against them as yet known are
the articles found on their person
and the stealing OF the hand cart,
buggy and horses.
Nevertheless, this is a serious
evidence just the same, and as all
OF them present the sigh, OF pro-
fcsscd criminals a small term OF
five years in the pen" would pro-
bIbly benefit them as we'll as the
public. They arc an undesirable
element and should be taught a
lesson.
