H. F. Porch, of the Fl. F. Porch
Company, returned last night from his
trip to Boston and New York, where
he had conferences with the capitalists
who are negotiating through him for
the purchate of mining properties en-
bracing 158 claims in the Ely district.
Mr.. Porch said that on Friday three
mining experts representing the East

would be necessary for some Of the
claim owners to give him longer op-
tions, as the men who are thinking of
buying the properties wish time in
which to make further investigation
before paying out the quarter of a
million dollars asked by the claim
owners.
Mr.. Porch will probably close deals
today for part of the properties bonded
to him.

THIRD Wife QUITS
JAMES G. BLAINE
Son of the "Plumed Knight " Is
Again Divorced, This Time By
the Rapid Transit Route.

Yankron, S. D. Jan. AT star
chamber session ef court here a few
days since, Mrs. James G. Blaine was
granted decree Of divorce from the
scion of the distinguished Maine fam
lily, whose escapades have SO far sent
two wives to the Dakota courts for re-
lease from him. The case was rushed,
to permit Mrs. Blaine to catch a train
for Washington, D. c., to spend Christ
mas with her parents, Rear Admiral
and Mrs. Philip Hichborn.
Perhaps no other case of wide inter-
est has been "railroaded'' with greater
speed in the divorce courts of this state
than this Blaine action. Six months
ago the pretty ard witty Mrs. Blaine,
known and admired in National Capital
society as the "I1eliotrope belle" be-
cause of her affecting that color, start
ed West with the avowed purpose or
getting a divorce
The six months residence was
scarcely up when the case was called,
being brought here for privacy 'OW-
ing to delayed train, GoYenor-elect
Crawford Of CHS State, counsel for
Blaine. din not arrive until 8 O'Clock.
Mrs Blaine was much worried lest she
miss her train East and have 10 spend
Christmas here, but Judge Smith
agreed to hold night session and the
case began a. ! clock, and the happy
woman, free again, departed on the 8
o'clock train.
At the trial she rapidly recounted
numerous alleged Incidents in which
her husband had been involved. She
aduitted she had expected to reform
him when she married him. She talked
fast. Her husband counsel made an
appearance, but offered no opposition
to the granting Of the decree.
Judge Smith wrote the entry rapidly
and a carriage whirled them to the
station She married Blaine Iuly A,
1901. Sne was preceded just nine
years in the Dakota divorce records by
Marie Nevins Blaine, formerly an ac-
tress, now the wife of DR.. w T. Bull
of New York.
The second Mrs. Blaine has been liv-
ing unostentatiously at Sioux Falls.
She came here hoping to get her de
cree in secret, but the star-chamber
session was discovered. There is to be
a big fight on the present divorce laws
in the Legislature this winter, and the
closed-do0r trials will receive jolt it
is predicted.
