wE1MER GROUND GROWS.
Idaho's Big Copper Mining Company
Now Owns Nine Hundred Acres

The WeImer Copper company has
just added % claims TO its holdings in
Idaho and as result now controls suO
acres of ground. This vast area lies
along the wonderful contract lode OF
Fremont ana Custer counties. Peter
Weimer. superintendent OF the mines
located this ground some time ago
and II was at his suggestion that the
company add 1t to it's original holdings.
4 committee of stockholders was APP
pointed to Investigate and examine
the new territory and Immediately
after It's report was suhmitteG MI,
Weimer's suggestion was adopted.
This committee consisted of Judge A.
y. Cherry, j. l.. Perkes and James
Dyer and these men were requested
TO examine the books of J. b. Weimer
and other officials of the company,
appralse ana take over considerable
personal property and to visit the out
lying ground,
Judge Cherry says he Is half dubious
about trying to describe the new
grounds for fear of appearing given to
eXaggeratIon. He advises those who
want to know to go and see for them
selves, for seeing Is believing.
Thousands OF tons of shipping ore is In
sight while the lower grade stun is IN
deposits which defy calculation Judge
Cherry SAYS he whole territory owned
by the Welmer company Is rich with
ore The ore is everywhere I'm the lode

aud can be found at any depth from
grass roots TO 100 feet, the present
depth of worl mgs. The PaymasteT
group on the opposite side OF the can

mass OF rock, 200 feet wide between
walls and highly mineralized. Condi-
tlons at the property are IN excellent
shape. 30 men being employed and all
arrangements which might add to their
comfort. being carried out. In Judge
Cherry's opinion the stock of the Wei

H0FFMASTER CAUGHT

Just after midnight Patrolman
Bucholz succeeded in locating John
l.. Hoffmaster, wanted for striking
his ex-wife. Alma Fay. in the face
with a revolver. Hoffmaster was
found in his lodgings on Second av.
He was thrown in Jail and refused
bond.
His former wife complained to
the police yesterday that while she
and her escort. whose name she
will not divulge, were walking
along Second av., Hoffmaster ap-
peared out of the shadows near
Monroe st. and, brandishing gun,
insulted them. Then, to add injury
to insult. he struck her across the
face infiicting a bad wound. Her
escort thought discretion the bet
ter part of valor and did not in
terfere with the odds so much
against him.

gineers, refused to divulge to any
great extent the purpose of their

velopment of the North Coast rail
road, owned by the Canadian Pa
citic. The surveys for the latter
road are already complete. and

GETS THE
BRIDGE JOB
NEW YORK EXPERT TO PASS
HIS OPINION ON MONROE ST.
STRUCTURE AND POSSIBLY
DRAW PLANS FOR NEW ONE.

The city council last night, in
special committee. authorized the
employment of William H. Burr, OF
New York, as bridge expert, to
pass on the Monroe st. bridge and
recommend new structure either
steel or concrete, as he though best
suited for the locality and
geographical conditions. The other
expert under consideration was J..
A. L. Waddell, of Kansas City. On
account of his being altogether a
steel expert, and many of the
councilmen leaning toward the con-
crete style of structure, Waddell
was given little consideration.
Waddell was highly favored by the
Washington Water Power Co.,
with which the council is having
so much trouble over an agree
ment as to its share of the expense
of new bridge. He is already ia
miliar with every piece of steel
and bolt in the bridge, having been
sent plans by the w. w. P.
Mr.. Burr offers to expert the
bridge for $1,000 and transporta-
ton both ways from New York.
Waddell's proposition was $500,
without transportation. If it is de-
cided to have Burr make the plans,
then he will be paid 31a per cent
Of the cost of the construction,
which would give him almost $12.-
600 for his work, according to the
100000 estimate of the engineer
ing department of the city.
A letter was mailed to the expert
today asking him to get on the
ground and begin work as soon as
