MONTANA MAMMOTH COMPANY.
Shareholders Well Pleased - Unex-
pected Gold Values Found.

(Thompson, Mont, Ledger.)
John M. Scrafford of Wallace, ar
rived here on Saturday with a party
OF investors to look over the Montana
Mammoth Mining companys prop
erty on the Blue Slide about - miles
from Thompson. The party included
DR.. Fl. McLachlan and w. H. Ham
mer, real estate and mining man
from Dayton, Wash, who came to
look over the property for some of
their people in that section. They
visited the property on Sunday and
were we'll pleased with it and ex-
pressed themselves to that effect. The
other members of the party were
William Mitchell, Mr. Sanford and
some other Spokane gentlemen.
Mr. Scrafford did not return to
Spokane with the other members of
the party, but remained here over
Monday checking up and auditing
the accounts and arranging for the
pay day at the mine which will oc-
cur on the 18th of each month.
The work at the property is pro-
crossing, said MIR. Scrafford. "The
bunk and cook houses at the mine
are practically completed and one
shift has been working in the mine
Tor more than a week and second
shift was added on Tuesday, with
the point in view to get right at
shipping.
Since we have made the analytic
tests OF the ore we find that it car
rles a great deal of tellurides in
values as high as $3.50 in gold. a
TACT OF course that is very pleasing
and entirely unexpected. Our first
assays only showed a trace of gold.
But Prof. Samuel Aughey was sur
prised at the high gold values some
OF his assays showed and had other
assayers check his pulps to doublv
assure himself and their reports have
shown even higher values.
We have placed orders for lum-
Der for assay Offices annd for build
Ing for the superintendent, which We
expect to get under way at once and
thus have our force right at the
work all the time"
Mr.. Scrafford returned to Spokane
on Tuesday to look aftetr the other
mines operated by the G. E. Mitchell
company, he having charge of the
operations at the five properties the
company Is operating.

HAYWOOD JURY
MAY Be SECURED
THE PRESENT WEEK

Boise. Idaho. May I.-With u jurymen
in the box. four OF whom have been pass
ed for cause by both the prosecution and
the defence. and "A talesmen yet to be
called, the trial OF William u. Haywood.
charged with the murder OF former Gov.
Frank Steunenberg. opened today at 70
a. m. with every prospect of completed
jury before the end OF the week.
1t is admitted. however, that It is diff
ficult to foretell what Will be the out
come OF the examination of the talesmen
summoned by the sheriff under the order
for a special venire. The fact that e
OF this number presented excuses yester-
day, and of these "A We're excused, shows
reluctance TO serve on the jury. Another
feature that may pro1ong the work OF Se-
curing jury is the wide range given TO
both sides in the examination of the
talesmen.
Seldom has either prosecution or DC
fence been permitted by any court to
search so deeply into the history or the
present mental attitude OF a prospective
juror. The prosecution has in every case
endeavored TO bring out the connections
OF the Juryman since the murder OF the
former governor. but when the talesmen
have been turned over to the attorneys
for the defence, the range of the ques-
tioning has invariably widened
f. +. Richardson, who so far has con-
Quoted the examination. among other
things, invariably goes into the relations
OF the talesmen under examination with
union labor and with what Is known as
the Citizens alliance. an organization of
the citizens OF Boise, opposed to unions
when II was thought that the demands
of union labor here were oppressive.
From the answers IL would appear that
the alliance is not widely known.
Haywood is perhaps the most interest
ing parsonage In the court room. The
men who are OF late been a dominant
factor in the Western Federation OF Min
ers apparently shows less intensity of in
terest I'm the proceedings than anyone
around him. Upwards OF 40 newspaper
men are here TO report the case. Cameras
are trained upon him from all angles. His
every movement Is thus recorded: but ex-
cept for the little red haired child beside
him, for his invalid wife or his counsel,
with now and then a glance at a tales
man, Haywood shows no sign that he
realizes his position.
His youngest daughter sits beside him
and general has her arm on the big
mans shoulder. Now and then he turns
10 her and smiles. She seems delighted
at the attention and In turn will look at
her mother who occupies an invalld's
chair. and laughs outright once or twice
the tension has been relieved by laugh
from the older girl, who sits beside the
mother.

M|iLARD's BILL
DISMISSED BY
JUDGE TANNER

The bill for specific performance OF
contract for the sale OF two lots OF land
on the Woodward road brought by Alfred
Z. Millsrd against Plain w. Martin and
the Providence Ice company has been dis
missed by Judge Tanner OF the superior
court. II appeared by the evidence that
the respondent Martin intended 10 convey
two lots other than those named in the
written contract and that the two lots
named in the agreement were already
leased to the Providence Ice company un-
der an assignment from the original
lessee. There was a covenant in the lease
giving the lessess an option TO purchase
the lots at 12is cents a square foot THIS
option was exercised BY the Providence
Ice company before the expiration OF the
lease but after the company had notice
OF the claim OF the complainant.
Judge Tanner holds that II there was
valid excuse Of the option OF the ice
conveyance cannot abe compelled to Mil
lard. The complainant attacks the va
lidity OF the lease on the ground first
that the lease though drawn TO be exc
cuted as an inlenture, was In fact sign
ed and executed only by the lessor. Judge
Tanner says: "Such a lease, however
would bind the lessor on his covenant
contained therein, and the lessee by his
acceptance thereof would be liable for
rent on an implied assumpsit The cove.
nant here sought to be enforced is the
covenant OF the lessor and not OF the
lessee. 1t is. therefore. valid"
Judge Tanner in his rescript further
says: The validity of the option is also
attacked on the ground. first, that il is in
mutualfty. The complainant has cited to
us many cases holding that mere offer
to convey is not binding and can be with
drawn at any time before accepta nee
These are all cases, however, of mere
offers TO convey without without consid-
Grafton. Such offers are OF course like
any offer 20 enter into a contract when
such offer is without consideration. Such
offers are, OF course, only binding upon
acceptance. The offer exercised i'm the
case at bar, however, was a binding op-
tion contained in a lease under seal The
lease itself was consideration for the
that IL is binding.
Such a covenant as one giving an op-
ton 10 purchase runs with the land. Judge
Tanner holds. and is binding on the les
sor in favor OF the assignee of TN elessee.
The complainant is held not at all af-
fected by the proof that part OF the price
named in the option only was paid In
cash"
