IOWA PROPERTY
CHANGED HANDS

George Hamilton of the Mining News
has acquired from E. A. Wells of st.
Paul, the Iowa ard the Iowa No 2
quartz mining claims on Red river, near

The Iowa property extends on both
sides of the river, and a depth of about
300 feet on the ore bodies can be had
by short tunnels. There is now tun-
mel 100 feet, and several open cuts.

VERY LITTLE SNOW
Frei8hters Have Serious Time Getting
Goods Into the Mountains

Freighters, stage drivers and others
who have always sworn by Buffalo
Hump to furnish an abundance of the
beautiful to make the roads good
this time of the year are thinking seri-
ously of communicating with the wea-
ther clerks in Medicine Hat, Bismark
and other reserve" centers to try and
find out if the Hump clerk has turned
traitor. There is ground for the team
sters' suspicious; here it is nearly the
end of the year and hardly enough snow
on the ground to run a hand sled.
Other seasons the Hump has attended
to business and there has been no COM
plant. But the Hump won't cash up
on weather drafts now any more than
a Wall Street reserve" will honor a
draft from its biggest creditor. The
two humps up there appear to bask in
continual sunshine. People have been
watching them. They are the first to
poke their heads through the clouds and
mist and catch the rays of the morn
ing sun, and the last to salute old Sol
as he sinks in the west. The mail
carrier says there is snow there all
right. Several times this fall the big
mountain blew his breath and robed
himself in the beautiful clear to the
timber line. Such selfshness will never
do; no poet is going to write an ode to
Old Buffalo Hump if he doesn't change
his ways and do better than that.
Freighters Have Serious Times.
Freighters are not thinking much
about poetry now. Very few of them
have been able to reach Elk City in the
past 80 days. There is lots of freight
billed for the mining camps, and is
strung slong the road from the foothills
back to the ware houses in Sites.
There is no snow at Sites. Sleighing
begins at Switchback and is fair tc
Mountain House, but this side there is
nothing to it. Three or four freighters
arrived Wednesday, but they paid heavy
tell in the way of broken sleds and har
ness and grief to themselves and theil
horses. One freighter broke down
completely and had to leave sled anC
load on the road
Merchants in Elk say they have plenty
of goods on hand to meet the demand
until the road is good, but purchasers
find now that the variety in wearing
apparel and holiday goods is limited.

Crangeville Briefs.

Free Press: Mrs. George Schnell re-
turned Friday from Spokane where she
has been for the past several weeks as
sisting in the care of her daughter, Mrs.
John Jack. She is great deal better,
but the attending physician does not
think it advisable to remove her to
Grangeville for month or two at least.
More Stamps for Coodenough- Nor
man Irwin of the Goodenough company
passed through this city Wednesday of
last week on the way to Lewiston and
outside points where he will remain for
the winter. He says the results of the
past seasons work was highly salts
factory to the company. The coming
year they will place another stamp mill
on the property and increase their force.
Sites is Prosperous-The writer was
down to Sites the last of the week and
while there is little quietness on ac-
count of financial troubles, found all the
merchants feeling good over the trade
they have enjoyed this fall. They have
been sending great deal of merchan-
disc into the mountain districts, one
merchant having sent over 80 4-horse
loads into Elk City during the month. Of
October and will send fully that much
in November. They are all meeting
their bills promptly and rather pride
themselves on the fact.

Collected Debt But Have
to Answer for It.
TAKEN BACK TO oKANoGAN
He Tells the Mining News
His Story.


Because he was a good collector of
his own bills and didn't allow the COM
pany, whose service he had left, to
carry around any money that belonged
to him, w. H. Hanlon, who sharpened
steel at the Thunder Mountain mine for
two months prior to last Sunday, will
have to answer to the charge of high
way robbery in the district court of
Okanogan county, Washington. The
blacksmith performed his collection
stunt at Nespelen, Qkanogan county,
last September and then stayed around
to find out what the fellow thought
about it. He afterward went to Keller,
Washington, then to Spokane, and fin
ally here. Sheriff Brown of Idaho
county arrived Saturday with an invi-
tation from the sheriff of Okanogan
county for Hanlon to come at once.
"You needn't read the warrant; II go, F"
was Hanlon's rejoinder to brief intro
duction by Sheriff Brown at the mine
Sunday morning.
The sheriff and prisoner stay ed over
night in Elk City and left early Monday
for Grangeville. Mr.. Hanlon stated he
would not demand a requisition from
the state of Washington, but, since the
affair has been taken into court, he was
just as anxious as anybody that the
true facts should be known.
Hanlon Says It's Conspiracy.
''This whole thing is conspiracy be-
tween a worthless wretch in Nespelen
and the mine foreman who didn't ap-
prove of my way of doing busine IS,
said Mr. Hanlon to Mining News.
Another miner and l finished tunnel
contract in June. The company didn't
pay us for it. In August the company
started doipg its own work. Three OF
us miners ar peared to have about equal
chrlces in securing a foremanship.
The man who had temporary charge
gave all the men work, but refused me.
| asked for the money, $3.50, the com
pany still owed me, and he refused tC
. pay. I stayed for six weeks, wanting
? employment and asking for what was
coming to me, but on every request
was put off, until patience was no Longer
virtue. 1t was costing me to live ant
was losing time.

Big Newsome Property

GIVE EMPLOYMENT TO IS MEN
Property is Now in Hands of
New Company.

Information reached Mining News
office this week from Newsome district
that work on the Anaconda mine, which
was suspended last spring, will be re-
sumed in very short time. The mine
is now in the hands of new men, the
Graham-Ross company of Nevada hav-
ing withdrawn, for reasons, it is said,
that lie wholly within the company. and
have nothing at all to do with the New
some property. 1t is reported develop
ment work during the winter will give
employment to from ten to fifteen men,
Anaconda is a Buster"
The Anaconda property is said to be
the most extensively developed mining
property in the Newsome district, and
far the best showing. Mining men who
pretend to know often speak of it as
the "Buster" mine of Newsome dis
trict. The property was owned, prior
to the recent transfer, by the three
Smith boys, of Newsome. and c.. w
Smith was general manager under the
Graham-Ross bond Principal develop
ment done on the property is a tunnel
700 feet which taps the ore body at a
depth of 800 feet. Manager Smith re-
ported to Mining News directly after
work was suspended that the prospect
could not have been better, the average
value was high, considering the size of
the ore bodies, and he expected the
company would take up the bond.
Georgia Property.
The Smith Brothers have large hold
ings of mining property in the New
some district. Adjoining the Anaconda
is their Georgia property. A great
deal of work has been done and the
showing is fully as good as that of the
| Anaconda.

ONE HOLDUP
SHOT DEAD
Especial to The Sentinel.)

Cokcville, Wyo., Sept. 13. - In
famed with bad whislSey John and
sam Bates, sheephcriers near here,
who had been sent for supplies by
their employers, started out ycster-
day to become bad men.
Mounting their horses and each
holding loaded revolver, they de-
parted for the north. One mile from
town they held up n 17-year-old boy,
shooting him through the stomach,
and took 50 from him. Afterward
seeing how seriously they had
wounded him they returned the mon
cy and hurried on.
A few miles further ON they stop
ped an Indian and robbed him of his
horse. A little further on they held
up IA wagon load of land seekers,
among whom was G. Il. Cotton, I'm
ion Pacific agent at Cheyenne, but
did not rob them. About thirty miles
from Cheyenne the Bates brothers
held up j. Il. Blnnson, an old man
who had at one time been marshal,
and demanded fresh horses which
they got and began changing their
saddles when Blanson seized one of
their rcvolvcrs, shooting John
through the heart, and holding sam
at bay until assistance arrived. 1t
is quite probable that there will be
Iynching party if the boy who was
shot does not recover.
