THE BANNER.

After considerable delay, caused by
the amount Of timbering required and
by bad air, the miners employed on the
upraise to connect the tunnel with the
drift from the Webster. only broke a
hole through yesterday. 1t was found
that the upraise, made on the east or
hanging wall, was fully eight feet west
of the drift. This with the width of
the Webster drift and of the upraise
added, assures the ledge at this point
TO be fully 20 feet wide, although no ac-
curate measurement has yet been made.
1t is gratifying surprise for the man
agement, because it was a mere strin-
er 100 leet below where the upraise was
started, carrying scarcely any values.
The ledge will now be carefully sam
pied and its values ascertained as soon
as practicable at the higher point. 1t
looks like good ore but assays alone
will determine its real value. 1t is
still question whether this is the
Banner ledge or one which will run
INTO the Banner further south. The
concurrent opinion of men acquainted
with the ground is, that the Banner
pitches still further west, and now
that air can be provided, work will be
renewed on the tunnel at once, to find
the ledge further west.

panied Mr. Ricketts, for visit to that
city.
Messrs HuIettand Sorensen returned
home yesterday. The case, after a TWO
days hearing Of testimony before a ma
gistrate, was dismissed, the prosecuting
witness Withdrawing the charge
The controversy between the two pro-
minent mining men involved so many
charges, accusations and counter accus-
ations, and the regulations of SO many
parties. that it would be difficult to
make an accurate statement regarding
IT, Briefly stated, however, Mr.. Bunch
who is well known mining promoter,
last summer made dea with the own
ers for the Commoner mine, and after
doing some work upon it, induced Mr..
Nywhouse TO advance him money on its
purchase giving him an option on the
property. Mr.. Newhouse sent his own
expert here to report upon it, aud his
own manager here to take charge, aud
finally paid the original owners the
agreed upon for the property
with Mr.. Bunch. Then shipment OF
ore did not turn cut as it was claimed
to have been represented and a dispute
arose between Newhouse and Bunch,
Involving the integrity of Newhouse's
agents, and resulting in personal en-
counter between them. Hence the ac-
ton begun by Newhouse, as he claimed,
not to recover money bat to vindicate
his agents. When he thought that had
been done by the Witnesses, the charges
we're withdrawn
It is unfortunate for this mining dis
.rict that such a controversy should
ever have occurred. 1t viii bring into
question the integrity Of number Of
nen, and by this bring into doubt the
,alue Of many claims made for proper
les here.

Developmentwork is progressing very
satisfactorily A few days ago the
Knickerbocker ledge was cut in No.
crosscut a short distance north Of the
ore shoot, and the drift toward the
ore body is being driven as fast as
possible with machine drill working
two shifts.
No. ? drift is being driven by hand,
as the other drill ordered mas not yet
arrived, and the ore shoot, although
not as wide as formerly, is carrying
better values. This ore shoot is now
opened more than loo feet.

found everything running very smooth

ly to the satisfaction Of the manage

cess is making close saving Of values

yet il is only large enough to treat

the mill was equipped when recon

tirely by walerpower, and no further

BLACK JACK BUDGET.

George Stoddard has accepted posi-
ton with the Trade Dollar company
and is working at the Bonneville.
Dick Goodenough, who has been re.
cuperating in Silver for the last two
weeks, is again riveting steel in his old
stope.
Pete Berkman and Jack Welsh have
resigned their positions as blacksmiths
at the Black Jack shop and Shoemake
Johnsen and Harrison were removed
from the Bonneville to fill the vacancies.
Kuute johnson is now doing the jolly
coppersmith act at the Bonneville. The
boys say it comes rather awkward to
use Knute's left handed steel, but they
will soon be able 0 overcome the diti-
Guilty.
Assessor Kreig was "a visitor to our
burg the other day and posted the no
tees which is his painful duty to tack
up. Mr.. Kreig is a good fellow person
ally, but officially we believe he is
nuisance. Come again Manihus (next
election).
The residents OF Stringtown were
thrown into a state of excitement the
other day, by the vast quantities of
snow pouring down the hillside, believ-
ing that a snowslide was upon them.
But Investigation proved that they we're
wrong. for it was found to be Jack
Breedlove opening the road between
Black Jack and Bonneville. Jack only
had a shovel, but he was going through
the snow at a rate that would make
rotary snow-plow look like the pro-
verbal three ten-cent pieces. We hear
Bill Mills wants to form a partnership
with Jack.
The crust on the snow around here is
hard and smooth and a few of the Nord-
land boys at Bonneville were amusing
themselves by sliding over the crust on
a board. It is an exhilarating pastime,
and we believe it brings more sheckels
to the Golfers of Levi Strauss.

1t has been a good nleny years since
the first effort was made to have an
eight hour bill for Underground and re-
duction works employees passed by an
Idaho legislature. Even two years ago
when such measure was proposed in
the lower house and earnestly worked
for by its friends it was so vigorously
opposed that its defeat was inevitable.
The mine managers in Owyhee lad even
before that time realized lis fairness
and it had become the rule in this com.
~, the second then in the state in the
mining industry, and our representa-
tive introduced and championed the
bill in vain. But change has come
over the sentiment Of the people Such
a bill has just passed the lower house
OF the legislature without dissenting
vote. 1t will doubtless be passed by
the senate in like manner. Idaho is
progressing.
A bill has passed the second reading
in the House Of Representatives pro
posing to cut off the northwestern cor
ner Of Owyhee county on line extend
ing west from Guffy on the township
line 10 Oregon, and annex same to Can
yon county. Representative Keith
whose property is all within the por-
tion to be segregated, favors the bill.
All OF the people in the county outside
OF the portion 10 be segregated are of
course opposed to it, Petitions remon-
strating against the bill are being sent
ont for signatures. 1t is hoped they
will be numerously signed and forward
ed without delay to Senator Pence. Be-
hind this is scheme to, two years from
now, have Canyon county divided and
a new county constructed from the
northern portion, with Payette or En-
NETT as the county seat. This would
leave Canyon county with only small
territory, with sixty thousand dollar
court house and the immense costs in
Cured in the murder trial to pay. For
this reason the people in the north cor
ner of this county, and the people of
Caldwell and Nsmpa as vel l.should
see that it is to their interest to oppose
this bill.

BOSTON EXPRESS HAS NARROW
 ESCAPE

South Norwalk, April 26,-The 10 o'clock express from New York for Bos- ton had narrow escape from a dsas- trous wreck in South Norwalk this aft ernoon. The train was near the cross over north of the depot when the en- gineer noticed that the signals were set against him. He reversed the engine but could not bring the swift moving train to a stop before it crashed into a gondola freight car, which was using the crossover The car was knocked from the track, but outside of the shock to some of the passengers, no one was hurt on the passenger train.
