THE MINES.

As has been stated by us, dur
| ing the absence of our mining re-
porter, there has. for several
weeks, been lack of news from
our district. Upon his return, a
trip through the mines shows a
surprising AMOUNT of activity.
Notwithstanding the financial
condition, and the continued low
price of ore, mills are running,
the output being stored in bins
awaiting a reasonable price for
same.
In nearly all of the properties
a large amount of ground work
| is being done, with the object of
more easily handling the dirt
and getting same to the concen-
trating plant.
Some idea may be obtained
from the following:
The Dark Horse-Isley mine,
which has recently been re-
opened, has uncovered a rich run
of ore, which it has just COM
menced to mill. A car of zinc
and about 20,00 pounds of lead
lis at present stored in the bins.
The Lancaster mill, which was
completed this month, is turning
out about $4,000 pounds of con-
centrates per shift. The ground
is we'll opened up, and this proof
of the richness of the ore body
should be very gratifying to the
IownerS.
The 81 has again become a
steady producer, and under the
new management is making an
excellent showing.
The Common Law and Micaw.
Der mines are fast getting their
ground in shape to supply the
mills with all the dirt they Car
handle. At present each prop
erty is milling about three shifts
per week.
The Mission mine is running
continuously and making money
even at the present low price Of
concentrates. After the first OF
the year this mill expects to run
a double shift.
The Big Chief is opening UP
drifts in every direction from the
shaft, the ore appearing to be
uniform in quantity and quality
in fact very rich. In a very
short time this property will bt
ready for a mill.
The Virginia mill is almost
completed, and will be ready t.
start about the first of the year
The new Foust double roughel
ljigs have been installed in thi:
mill, and if they do what is ex
pected by the patentee they viii

prove of great benefit in milling
The ground at this mine has
been thoroughly and practically
opened up, and there will be nc
difficulty in supplying the mill
with dirt.
All parties interested in the
Baxter district should feel proud
of the present showing, which
proves beyond a doubt the per-
manency and rich future in store
for the camp.

REFUSES LIFE SECRET
REVEALED BY DEATH
Justice Sawyer's Son Missing
Forty Years.
MASSACHUSETTS LOVE STORY
W. J. Smith, Bookseller Of New Bed
ford, ex-Lawyer and e~x.Soldier,
Lived Near Sweetheart Who
Had Married.

New Bedford, Mass.-The mysteri-
Gus disappearance over forty years
ago of George Yeaton Sawyer, Jr.,
son of the late Supreme Court JUS
tice Sawyer, of Nashua, N. H., was
solved by the death of William J.
Smith, a recluse, who kept a small
bookstore in this city. Smith proved
to be the missing man, and an unfor-
tunate love affair in early life is CIV
en- as the cause Of his isolation from
his family. Sawyer was sixty-eight
years of age.
The secret of his identity was made
known by Roland Ashley, caretaker
Of the building in which the old mai
had his rooms, to whom he had re-
vealed it with his life story.
Sawyer while taking a vapor bath
was fatally burned by an explosion
of an alcohol lamp and died in the
hospital. Ashley communicated with
the dead mans sister, Mrs. Hubbard,
of Nashua, who came to this city ct
once. She investigated his affairs,
which were found to be in perfect
order, and gave out facts regarding
his life, announcing also that he had
been a director in his wi name in
banks in New York and Baltimore.
1t appears that he was worth many
thousands of dollars, but he left no
property in this city save a few books
in his shop. Mrs. Hubbard took the
body to Boston for cremation.
George Yeaton Sawyer, Jr., was
educated in the best preparatory
schools of New Hampshire and in an
academy in New London. From this
school he entered Yale, and was
graduated when he was twenty-one
years old. After a short course in
law he was admitted to the New
Hampshire bar, where he practiced
/ few years. He gave up this profess
sion to enter the Union Army dur
ing the Civil War. Immediately
after the close of the war his family
lost all track of him. It was report
60 tnet he had purchased a planta-
lion IN Georgia and was living there.
No trace of hin in that State could
be found, however,
He had been a resident of TINS city
about five years. He had conducted
a small book store on n Of the main
streets, and was noted for his pecul-
iarities and reluctance to associate
with any one. The love affair which
Is said to have caused his isolation
from all his friends and acquaint-
ances was with a woman of this city,
who is now married and has a large
family. Sawyer came here to be nea
this first and only love.

CHOLERA VIRUS TEST KILLS
Ten Manila Prisoners, Inoculated
by Government Physicians, Die.
Investigators Discover That Prepar-

With Plague Virus.

j Manila. Philippine Islands .-Inoc,
ulated with the virus of cholera With
which the Bureau Of Science has been
trying to render the inmates Of Eili-
bid Prison immune against the
scourge of the East, ten prisoners
have already succumbed, much to
the CONSERVATION of the authorities
here.
The experiments have been con-
Quoted under the direction Of Or. r.
p. Strong, and twenty-four prisoners
in all had the virus put into their
veins. All the ten victims died mis-
erably within q few days after their
incubation.
1t is neE-declared by the pkysi-
ciapsesWho have been Investigating
sthese deaths that the cholera virus
became contemplated by contact with
the virus Of the bubonic plSgue.
So strong is public sentiment here
on tho subject that Governor-aelera

ates DR.. Strong apd announces that

MORE PAY FOR THOUSANDS
Worknen For Steel and Cotton
Industries Get Advances.
Fall River Mill Owners Grant In
crease Demanded and Avert
Another Strike.

Fall River, Mass.-Thirty thousand
mill operatives won their battle for
an increase of wages and will come
under a scale giving them ten per.
cent. more thaa the present rate. The
advance prevented a strike, the work
men having voted to stop work If the
new schedule was not accepted. MI.
C. D. Borden, an independent cotton
manufacturer, employing 5000 opera
tives, took the lead, though no de-
mand had been made upon him.
The new pay scale affects seventy
corporations operating ~ninety-tWo
mills, besides the Iron Works plant.
The Manufacturers Associations
agreement to pay the increase is for
a period of six months, but provision
is made for extending it.
Probably other cotton mills in New
England will follow this city's lead
and thousands of outside mill hands
ultimately will be benefited by the
determined stand taken by the Fall
River unions.

ELEVEN KILLED AT FOOTBALL.
1O4 Players Also Injured During the
Season of 1906.

Chicago. - Eleven players were
killed and 104 injured in the United
States during the football season of
1906, according to the Chicago Tri-
bune. These figures are compared
with the causalties of 1905, when
eighteen players were killed and 159
severely injured, and, according to
the Tribune, show that 'debrutal-
lzed", football has accomplished in a
large degree the object aimed at in
rendering the game less dangerous
to lie and limb.
The decrease in casualties is espe-
cially marked among high school
players. In the season of 1905 eleven
high school players were killed and
forty-seven injured. while in the sea-
son just closed eve were killed and
twenty-five hurt. All college and
high school games this year were
played under the new rules drawn
I'D after the close OF last season to
satisfy the agitation for less danger
Gus football. This year not one IA
tality occurred in the game played
BY the larger American colleges.
