There was a rumor here yesterday that
Attorney General Bonaparte would retire
from the Cabinet soon.

Stories have been Ia circulation lately
that President Roosevelt was dissatisfied
with Mr.. Bonaparte on account of his
frequent absence from Washington. 1t
was said that work in the Department Of
Justice was behind, and that district at
torneys who came here TO see Mr.. Bona
parte were obliged to wait several days
before the opportunity came, or TO visit
him at his home IN Baltimore. One story
was that the President had rebuked Mr..
Bonaparte.
All these reports lack confirmation. IT is
known that the President has a high
opinion Of his Attorney Generals ability,
and looks upon him as one OF the strong
est men In the Cabinet. Alr. Bonaparte
has told the President that his health
was improving and that he soon expected
10 be "Out Of the woods"

SEVEN TRoUGHs ToMBoY.
New Company Formed by Local ana
Eastern Mining Men.

The Seven Troughs Tomboy Mining
company has been organized by local
and Eastern talent, the company BENG
capitalized for one million shares, each
with a par value of 81. The hTst al
lotment Of treasury stock, amounting
to 100000 shares, has already been
taken up. Captain Tibbitts, upon MAX
ing an inspection of the group at seven
Troughs, outlined a campaign OF devel,
opment, and this work will be started
at once. In speaking Of the group,
Capt. Tibbitts says:
''The Tomboy group consists OF
seven claims and fraction OF CLAIMS,
aegrepating about 1l0 acres, and mas
been surveyed for patent, there being
no adyerses. The ground is advantage
ously located on the north side of Seven
Troughs Gulch and carries the porphyry
aud silicious dikes indicating the lines
of naturalization, and should prove TO
be a good property. The Grouse
claims adjoin the Fine Gold, and Will
carry the dikes and contacts of the
Fine Gold and kindergarten claims,
while the Tomboy claims Will carry the
ore zone of the Badger and Thor veins.
The country is extensively fissured, and
it is likely that cross-cuttiug will dem
onstrate the existence of many veins
not now known. At the date of my
visit, tTenching had Just been started
along the various lines of contact to
determine the vein lines, and while no
large showings had been made, the sur
face dirt, both upon the Tomboy and
Grouse No. /, showed, some fair pan
nings There is as yet, however, no
chance to do systematic sampling.
81 suggest that you continue this
trenching along the contacts until 1t is
determined where are the most favor
able places to sink; but that your per.
manent development work be projected
from Seven Troughs Gulch on the
Grouse Fraction, where you can gain
500 feet of depth, with from 700 TO 500
feet Of driving, This work should not
be started however, until the prelimi-
nary surface explorations has been com
pleted, indicating the most favorable
zone for your cross,cut work. In clos
ing ] wish to emphasize the statement
that ] consider Seven Troughs the most
promising camp it has ever been my
pleasure to visit and as your property
is favorably located, believe that well
directed exploration will prove you
have valuable ground.
