In describing efforts made by re-

Trinity, the wealthiest church

the legislation that would alleviate
this foul state of affairs than it

which it is itself to blame?" He

ROBBERY SUSPECTS

P. j. c. Peterson, proprietor of
the Cascade saloon at Cheney,
where the safe was blown Tuesday
night, reached Spokane yesterday
and scrutinized the suspects ar
rested by Superintendent Ed Stauf-
fer, of the Merchants police, and
Detective Martin Burns. None of
them was recognized as the men be-
lieved to have done the work. Peter
son suspects men who hung
around his saloon on Tuesday. He
stated that $50 and some watches
were secured Nitroglycerine was
forced through the cracks of the
safe and the job was the work OF
experts.
The men under arrest will be
given a hearing before Justice Hin

TON.

Another example of the boost
ing" given Spokane by irresponsible
articles published in the Spokes-
man-Review. is contained in a tele-
gram from Vancouver, B. c.. stating
that delegates to the Baptist Young
Peoples union convention have de-
cided not TO come on account OF the
prevalence of smallpox in Spo-
kane" Naturally many other dele
cations are apt to be similarly in
fiuenced.
During the winter the morning
paper in its Misrepresentation OF
Health Officer Genoway had daily
smallpox "scares." There was
smallpox here, as in other cities,
but of such mild form that patients
were released soon after being sent
to the isolation hospital. There was
only / death from this disease dur
ing the past year. Practically all
of the cases came in from camps
and isolated sections of country
tributary. The disease had no foot
hold in Spokane.
Several years ago the Review
cost Spokane merchants thousands
of dollars by creating a smallpox
scare on as little grounds as it did
this time Then the whole province
of British Columbia quarantined
Spokane and all of eastern Wash
ington. The morning paper was so
hard up for legitimate news that it
dropped into the dirty sensational
ism of creating demands for its Is
sues by playing up smallpox as a
disease which was threatening to
kill off Spokane's population. On
other pages it was devoting col
umns to boosting Levi G. Monroe,
ex-Review man, who is secretary
of the chamber of commerce; Rem
H. Rice, ex-Review man, who was
secretary of the boosters 10000
club, and l.. H. Wolf, ex-Review
man, who was in charge of the pub
licity work of the city.
In the face Of the daily small
pox scare stories, the health office
has and is pointing out Spokane's
exceeding good fortune in this re-
spect. Every city on the Sound,
and very likely Vancouver itself,
has more smallpox than Spokane.

sUPERsTITIoNs OF MINERS.

Miners, as a class, have been gen.
orally believed to be rather more
free from preiudices of superstitions
than are many other craftsmen, and
little has ever been said concerning
their fixed belief in this respect, al
though at least two are well known,
especially among prospectors of, the
old school.
One of these has to do with the
location of placer gold, which is gen.
orally first sought for by the pros
pector on the right fork Of a stream,
near its source, and If other condi-
tons are favorable. and the gravel
carries gold, it is generally found
there in preference to the left fork,
although many MAKE the mistake o:
facing the mouth instead Of the
source of the stream when making
the selection. Geology has so far
given no reason for this fact, al.
though its truth is universally ack-
nowledged.
Another we'll founded belief,
whether or not it amounts to a super
stition, is contained in the fact tina;
gold bearing Lodges are foEnd more
often on the hillside receiving the
morning sunshine. This applies to
all minerals as we'll as gold, and is
o universal belief among pr~ospectors.
the world over, and is accepted in
South Africa or California with equal
faith.
The latter belief is also borne out
by the history of discoveries, and Ii
partially accounted for by science, by
the theory that the parts Of hills In
countries where snow falls, which are
subject to the greater duration OF
sunshine, are thereby worn of super
fetal deposits the more, by reason OF
snow slides and running water,
which exposes the older formations.

It was seen that the company's great
est resources lay in the high grade
ores, and good mining demanded the
attainment of greater depth. In the
meantime the pumps we're running
and the fuel cost was too great to
continue the development, in this
manner. Thus the decision has been
reached where the company will
drive a ~1700-foot tunnel along the
trend Of the vein, insuring the open
ing up of some good ore bodies
through this channel as we'll as pro-
viding the property with an avenue
for drawing off the water without tho
expense Of pumping.
Upon the completion of this tun-
mel it is probable that the company
will construct the mill at the mouth
Of this channel, which is an admir-
able site for the plant, and the water
supply will be diverted to the mill
Thus the low grade ores will be con-
centrated, while the sulphides will be
mined and developed for the market.
Salt Lake City talent has taken an
active interest in the Nevada-Super-
Tor, as eminent mining engineers whz
have inspected the ground claim that
the property has a brilliant future.
1t is an immense proposition and
while the shareholders have had to
go down in their pockets for some of
this improvement, there seems to be
no question but that the property
when once opened will furnish a big
revenue to its supporters for years to
come.

PERFECT ARRANGEMENTS

The Round Mountain Hydraulic
Mining Company yesterday completed
its arrangements with the Round
Mountain Daisy Mining Company for
securing water for the operation of
its hydraulic plant. The directors
of the company, after holding a meet
ing in Goldfeld, came over here Tues
day night and mel the directors of
the Round Mountain Daisy Company
and signed a lease for the water
rights necessary to carry on the work.
A cash consideration was a condi-
ton of the lease, the term of which
is four years. at the end of which
time the plant Of the hydraulic com
pany reverts to the Round Mountain
Daisy Company. The plant is worth
$4,000. The Round Mountain
Daisy Company owns the water COM
ing into Round Mountain, and it was
only through that company that the
hydraulic company could get the
water it needed TO do their placer
work. Sluicing will be commenced
in about ten days, with the water
coming from Shoshone Creek. The
hydraulic giants will be turned on
some time in October. when the JEFF
ferson and Indian Ranch streams will

Clever Work Of Detective Revealed

The robbery of the sub-treasury In

treasury department In Washington
was the victim of 10000 theft about
80 years ago. At first, although no
reasonable explanation of how the
thing could have been done by an out
slider could be given, it was assumed
that it was the work of some one un-
connected with the office in which the
robbery occurred. 1t was not long,
however, before a clever detective
became acquainted with the fact that
one of the clerks who might have had
access to the bundle of bills was ac-
quainted with professional gambler
of shady antecedents- That discovery
solved the problem A little patient
watching resulted in catching the
gambler with the stolen notes, and
the rest was easy The clerk was ar
rested, and, while in confinement, was
given to understand that he was be-
trayed, whereupon he confessed the
robbery, which was accomplished by

Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian.
while in New Orleans a few months
ago, took the opportunity of going to
the races. During the afternoon he
cashed several tickets, the result OF
good guesses. He was feeling happy
after the last race, and started for

him back to his hotel. AS he was
about to climb into the machine he
felt a hand on his arm, and q man
shouted in his ear:
Hello, Hitchcock, how are you?
Hear you put a crimp in the bookies

Hitchcock blushed and shook hands
sheepishly, not recognizing the man,
and not wishing to show it.
Say, 1 want to speak to you con-
fidentially,' said the stranger.

comedian.

and queried. Where do you live?"

POPULAR APPROVAL OF THEFT.
English Writer Sees Significance in
Giorification of Robbers.

The idea of private property has
never been fully accepted by the
masses of the people. and never had
their cordial approval as an institu-
ton, says a writer in the London
News. The most popular songs and
ballads of our nation in all ages, it
may be noted, have been those which
described sympathetically attacks on
private property, from the Robin Hood
cycle to the broadsheets in which
Turpin and Sheppard were made
heroes.
Even nowadays the literature that
really touches the people, the litera-
ture that the educated classes seldom
so much as see exposed for sale, the
literature that is sold in the small
general shop in the back street, and
costs fewer pennies than the novel we
know costs shillings, still verv largely
deals with the romantic exploits of
the robber. He is never a villain; he
is noble and generous to fault; but
he is convinced of the improperly of
persons having too much money.
