The tenth juror chosen was John s.
Dennel, single, a travelling freight

Juror Dennel says his former home
was Louisiana. He said he had read
much of the case, because there was
little else to read in the papers. but
he had formed no opinion. Here was
much comment in court when Jerome
accepted Dennel because the latter
was from Louisiana where the "un-
written law" is supposed to play an
equal part in some cases with statutes.

The Star Group ls Rushing De.

One Of the most interesting prop

district Is the Star group, which ad-
joins the Morning mine ON the west.
1t Is controlled by Finch & Campbell
Of spokane and their associates and
E. H. Mofitt is manager.
1t is being developed by a long
crosscut tunnel which is now In 1900
feet and has to be run 200 feet more
to cut the Grouse ledge and $50 feet
further still to reach the Morning
ledge.
The group consists Of II claims
covering the three lodges of the
Morning mine ore zone. The first
ledge, that Of the You Like, was cut
by the new tunnel when 1t was in
100 feet. 1t proved to be nice,

feet. No drifting will be done on
either of the veins till all three Of
them have been cut.

MINE
Has Full Face of Ore in the
East Drift

The Independent has such show
ing of ore In the east drift from its
lower tunnel that Manager John H.
NordQuist feels absolutely confident
1t will make big mine and in this
opinion the Miner fully concurs.
The ledge. they are now drifting on
Is believed to be the main vein Of
the property to develop which the
lower crosscut was started-at least
1t was tapped very close to the point
where that ledge was expected to be
found. The ore showing on the sur
face and in the upper tunnel, below
which they are now working, has al
ways been considered one of the
on the entire Snowstorm
ore zone.
Where cut the ledge was wide and
strong and showed considerable ga
lena in punches. Drifts are being
run on 1t both ways. west to the
Copper King, which the Independent
adjoins, and east to the Lucky Calu-
met. In the drift to the west the
ledge has narrowed up somewhat, 1t
having measured over seven feet
where it was crosscut. To the east
the drift has constantly improved till
now the full face. which shows neith-
er wall, is all fine, high grade concen-
trating galena. The improvement in
the ore has been most marked in the
last few days.

zon in the mine and makes dis
play Of available ore that could fur
nish a tonnage, without crowding,
equal to twice the milling capacity
OF the property, as the block OF
ground between the 800 and 600
foot levels is not half exhausted and
the immense block between the 600
and 900 foot levels remains un-
touched except for the drift being
driven through it and a raise to con-
meet it with the level above.
New equipment has been added
during the past year to the mine
plant and mill, which includes a
complete sorting and conveying belt
at the mine, with the idea of reject
ing more waste and making more
clean shipping ore and better
grade OF concentrating ore, which
will be equivalent to a substantial
increase in production. At the mill
additional crushing machinery has
been added for finer grinding and
the substitution OF Callow travelling
belt screens by hydraulic classifica-
ton.
The company is planning the
installation of a new electric hoist
capable of sinking $500 feet and
as soon as it is installed sinking be-
lowthe 800 level will be resumed.

THE GERT|E STRIKE HENNESsY BURNS
Not So important as First
Rumored

Ever since Gertie took jump in
the stock market early this week
there have been rumors Of an i'm
portant strike in the mine. At first
they were rather vague, running all
the way from few inches Of good
ore up to three feet, or from good
stringer Of concentrating ore up to
a full face Of it.
These reports finally crystallized
into definite statement, purporting
to come from L. w. Hutton of the
Hercules mine, the president and
the largest individual shareholder
Of the Gertie company, to the effect
that the company had just cut the
ledge in new crosscut and that it
was four and a half feet wide, clean
cut with two perfect walls and car
ried considerable galena. Mr.. Hut
ton, in giving out this statement, is
also credited with advising the
shareholders to hold on to their
stock as the vein was widening and
improving with every shot, while
another 100 or $50 feet Of work
would bring the drift under the
first fine surface outcrop Of ore.
The Miner has made dilligent ef-
fort to ascertain the truth and be-
lieves the exact facts to be that the
ledge was cut by the crosscut some
time ago and has been drifted on
for about sixty feet; that it shows
a width of four and half feet, is
widening out but is only
slightly mineralized so far.
The Gertie is the eastern extern
sion OF the Hecla mine. 1t has cut
its ledge near the west end Of its
ground, close to the Hecla end line,
and is now drifting east towards its
fine surface outcrops. 1t may be ex-
pected to make a really important
strike at almost any time.

New Shoot Of High Grade
Ore Encountered

1t has just leaked out that biz
strike Of high grade galena and car.
Donate ore, carrying much crystal,
lized lead, was made in the Hen.
nessy-Burns group q couple OF weeks
ago. The ore was encountered
when the new drift tunnel was in
l2O feet, the paystreak coming into
the workings from the hanging wall
side. The drift is running along
the footwall Of the vein, which has
never been crosscut, and no drifting
on or crosscutting to the new ore
shoot has yet been done, but when
opened it showed a width of ten
inches Of clean shipping ore.
The drift was started to develop
at depth Of 70 feet, the shoot Of
solid galena opened up on the sur
face and it still has to be driven GO
feet to get perpendicularly under the
beginning Of that shoot. 1t was
therefore only the tail end OF the
new shoot that was struck. It will
be opened up after the discovery
shoot is explored in the drift.
The Hennessy- Burns property
consists of four claims, located seven
miles east of Burke on the Idaho
Montana summit, about mile and
a half south of the Glidden road.
1t is capitalized at 81 100000 and
has 1886, 900 shares left in the treas
ury. City Clerk Joseph F. Whe-
Ian is secretary and manager.
There are rumors that several
well-known operators are negotiat-
ing for the purchase of the whole or
the control Of the property. Just
who these parties are we are unable
to learn.

horizons Of the mine were not very

From this horizon down, the de-
