NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Tension

believing the crisis in the case ut

cross-examinatlon of Evelyn Nesbit

Upon It the final decision Of the Jury
to great measure will depend, for
It will settle whether the story told
by the girl wife will stand and many
believe that Thaw's life really hangs
by this thread. Court convened at
ten-thirty o'clock. Evelyn was the
first witness called and Jerome re.
sumed the cross-cxamination. She
betrayed her agitation by an evidence
of nervousness. 1t was seen she was
prepared to use woman's weapon,
tears. against Jerome's attacks.
Jerome produced number of pho
tographs Of Evelyn when she was an
artists model, questioning the wit
ness as to when they Were taken. He
further questioned about her posing
for artists and photographers before
and after coming to New York. Eve.

FINE GAlENA ON SURFACE
Clear Grit 10 Driving Crosscut to Open
Ledge At Depth

The crosscut tunnel now in pro-
gress on the Clear Grit company's
property, which lies about two miles
northwest Of Delta on Beaver creek
is making good progress and though
still 100 feet from the ledge every
fissure in the formation is found to
be highly mineralized with carbon
ates and galena. On the surface a
number Of open cuts have been
made which have exposed the vein
for several hundred feet in length.
These cuts all show from eight to
18 inches of fine quartz and galena
besides from 18 inches to two feet
Of tale on the footwall. The width
Of the ledge itself has not been
proved. Samples of the ore which
were concentrated by hand gave
returns of 33 ounces of silver and
81 per cent in lead. The tunnel is
in 1875 feet and will tap the vein at
a depth Of $50 feet.
The Clear Grit is controlled by
Wallace people-R. B. Bohannon
is president, P. F. Smith vice-prcs-
ident, T. N. Barnard secretary,
and F. V. Phinney and Henry
Oxley Of Delta are the other direc-
tors.
The showings on the Clear Grit
have given rise to a boom in that
section and recently everything in
its neighborhood has been located.
Work is being done on several
properties which are thought to be
on the same vein.

Progress in the Zinc Industry.
Chicago Mining World)

Separation by mechanical means,
says Mr.. Paul Speier Of Breslau,
Germany, is receiving more favor,
for by it's use it becomes possible to
concentrate mixed sulphide ores in
such manner that they contain 40
per cent and even considerably
more of zinc. The flotation process,
too, has been very much improved
of late and especially iu Australia,
it seems to be preferred to magnetic
separation. The Potter process,
however, which had first been tried
and introduced by the Zinc Corpor-
alton, has not proved success and
during the last few weeks he Cat
termole process has been definitely
adopted.
According to report by the
directors of Minerals Separation,
Limited, which has acquired the
patent rights of the Cattermole pro-
cess, 4,47S tons Of tailings, con-
tanning Z ozs. silver per ton, 5 per
cent lead and II per cent zinc,
yielded 1000 tons Of concentrates
whose metal contents amounted,
according to assay, to 13 ozs. silver
per ton, 81 per cent lead and 4l.6
per cent zinc.

PERSONAL MENTION

c. E. Poor of Los Angeles, Cal,
manager of the Dominion company

day to start operations ON that
property for the season.
Bill Springer, one of the real
old timers, who is now an expert
for Finch 4 Campbell Of Spokane,
left Monday after few days visit
to the district.
w. II. Taylor was up from
Spokane this week inspecting the
Charles Dickens mine and fishing
on the North Fork. Mr.. Taylor is
one of the pioneer operators Of this
country. Fifteen years ago he was
one of the principle financial hack

MACHINERY FOR LEGAL TENDER
Main Working Shaft to be Put Down
ESQ Feet

The Legal Tender company will
resume the development Of its
group Of claims on Prospect gulch,
below the Evolution mine, right
away. 1t will first be equipped
with machinery consisting of a
hoist, pump and saw mill. The
latter will be used to get out lum-
Der for new buildings and mine
timbers. The hoist and pump will
be installed at the shaft which is
now down 80 feet and will be sunk
as rapidly as possible to the $50
foot level.
Besides the shaft there is an, 800
foot tunnel on the main ledge which
has a very handsome showing of
quartz and carbonate orc for nearly
its entire length. Some of this is
high enough grade to stand shipping.
The ledge is true fissure.

tust above the Rhode Island on Ter

showed on Sunday about two feet Of
iron and quartz in the face. This
streak of quartz and iron has been
nearly continuous from the start, and
has at times been as wide as four
feet. The tunnel is just beginning
to gain sufficient depth to justify cx-
pectations of change in the chur-

Reports Were Exaggerated

The report that George Ruggles
has made payment on his boud
on the V group on Pine creek,
which has been published in all the
local and Spokane papers, is, as
Mark Twain would say, exaggerated.
The payment has not yet been
made. Neither has a strike of
galena been made on the Valentine
mine on Nine Mile SO far as the
Miner can learn, though it has also
been given wide publicity.

HELENA CAPITAL IN MONITOR

Henry Neill and P. NJ. Collins
of Helena, Mont, who recently
made an examination of the
Monitor mine, have announced
through their home papers that
they have acquired a large inter-
est in that company from the
Rossi- Read company which has
been operating the mine under a
bond on something like 80 per
Of the capital stock. One result
Of their investment will be that
the mine will be equipped with
a larger pump and hoist while
its development will be pushed
with a force of about 35 miners,
nearly double the crew that was
employed last year.

Lucky Friday Looking Fine

Manager George D. Potter Of the
Lucky Friday mine has been in
Wallace very little this week as the
illness of his foreman has necess-

mine. We learn, however, that
work is going along nicely and that
drifts are being run both ways on
the vein from the lower tunnel.
The drift to the east is rs feet long
and that to the west 35 feet. Both
continue to show highly satisfactory
ore bodies.

Good reports continue to come

Canyon Creek where the main
drift is now nearing the ore
shoot found on the surface last
year. 1t was the discovery of
this ore body which caused such
an excitement in that section
year ago. The tunnel is in 26O
feet and the Miner has it from
disinterested parties who have
recently inspected the property
that a big strike may be looked
for any day. The shoot Of ship
ping ore that was opened up
some time ago in the tunnel and
which is now being drifted on
continues to show fully IA inches
of solid galena of high grade.
