MEETS ALLEGED VICTIM.
Joe Smith, Charged With Robbery,
Arrested BY Burbidqe.

Tempting fate by returning to Com
mercial street, where he is alleged TO
have committed a robbery a short time
ago, Joe Smith, alias Sullivan, came
face to face with his alleged victim
and was soon afterward locked in the
city Jail.
Hugh Houghton, who charges that
Smith robbed him OF S12 and a railroad
mileage book, saw the man passing
through Commercial street and fol-
lowed him to the saloon at Sc East
First South street, where he demanded
restitution.
The accused man fought his way
from the saloon and ran back into
Commercial street. Captain Burbidge
was passing at the time and seized the
fugitive, taking him to the city Jail.

VETERAN MINER IS DEAD
Joseph Smith, One of the First to Use
Cyanide Process Successfully in
u. s., Dies in California.

The man who probably made the first
successful application of the cyanide
process in the United States, Joseph
Smith. is dead in San Diego. Cal. Death
occurred yesterday. The funeral will
likely be held in that city.
Mr.. Smith was well known through
out Utah, and it was he who brought to
Mercur its first cyaniding plant. The
camp prior to the installation of the
new process was of the silver-lead
character. AT one time he was con-
nected with the Marion mine at Mercur.
and after its consolidation with the
Geyser, he went to Nevada, where he
followed mining and the science of the
reduction of ores.
Mr.. Smith was born in ireland, and
was about Go years of age. He came
to this country at an early age. He
was not married.

where bridge will connect the road

The operations of the timber compan-

movement of outside capitalists who
have quietly though diligently, been
making inquiries recently relative to in

RAILROAD ON
MIDDLE FORK
It Appears the Milwaukee
Will Enter Local Field
This Year.

Some time ago the Mining News told
of crew of surveyors at work on the
Middle Fork of the Clearwater, and the
inference was made at the time that
the men were o. R. & N. employees
and that that company would construct
the new road for the Milwaukee COM
pany. That the guess was not far of
the mark is shown by the following
item taken from the Lewiston Tribune,
which states that permanent survey is
now being made by the Milwaukee COM
pany:
That Engineer Martin, who is in
charge of the surveying crew working
up the Middle Fork Of the Clearwater,
is in the employ of the Milwaukee and
that this road and the Hartman inter
ests have joined in the project of build
ing joint line from Lewiston to point
near Missoula to connect there with the
western extension of the Milwaukee,
comprise the latest piece of railroad
news to reach the city. This news has
crept out from the secrets of the big
railroad offices Immediately following
the completion by the o. R. & N. of
the location survey along the south
bank of the Clearwater to Kamiah. II
has been noted that the Martin party
started their survey at Kamiah and
that the work was evidently in harmony
with, and a connection of, the o. R. &
N. line. At that time, howeve-, it was
believed that Martin was an O. R. & N
man and the development was accepted
as some Independent move relative tt
maintaining rights secured by Harri
mans road in that field.
However, it is now learned tina
Martin is Milwaukee man and that h
came to Kooskia with his party direc
from the Milwaukee work betweel

learned that since taking the field a

United States Mineral Law Makes
Plain Meaning Of the Term.
WHEN ONE CAN LOCATE
Stakes May be Set When Mineral Is Suf-
ficient to Insure Returns.

In the case (Cascaden VS. Bar
tolls, LAG Federal, 1897 where the
principal controverted question
related to the sufficiency of the
mineral discovery claimed to have
been made by the locators to sus-
tain their placer location, the
trial court stated the law to the
jury thus: What is a "discov-
ery?" What finding Of mineral
upon a placer mining claim is
sufficient to satisfy that clause of
the statute which provides that
no location of a mining claim
shall be made until the "discov-
ery' of the mineral within the
limits of the claims are located?
says Chicago Mining World.
This inquiry is partly answered
by the terms Of Section 1918 of
the revised statutes Of the United
states, in the following language:
In all cases lands valuable for
mineral shall be reserved from
sale, except as expressly directed
below. 1t is only lands valuable
for mineral which are reserved
from sale for disposal under the
mineral laws. Lands not valu-
able for mineral are not so re-
served, and may, if otherwise
unappropriated and unoccupied,
be settled upon, used, and occu-
pied for townsites or business
purposes, or taken under the
homestead or other laws for the
settlement and sale Of the public
domain. Lands valuable for min
eral are lands having value or
worth for the mineral contained
therein; lands containing mineral
in such quantity as to pay a reas-
enable profit upon the capital and
labor necessary to extract the
mineral therefrom. Any Other
lands would have no value fol
mineral, and are not such as the
statute contemplates reservinl
from sale for disposal under the
mineral laws of the United
States.
In this instruction the cour
stated the correct rule that it wa
essential to the validity of tn
location under which the CLAIM
was made that the discovery O
mineral thereon was such tha
an ordinarily prudent man, no
necessarily miner, would b.
justified in expending his tim
and labor thereon in the develop
ment of the property. But at tn
same time the court furtner IN
structed the jury that it was es
sential to the recovery by tn
claimants that "they should hav
= proved with reasonable clearnes
that for the labor and capital ez
pended in locating the ground
n
would yield a reasonable profit
and that, unless the jury
found, their verdict should be fc
the defendant. +" On appeal tn
court held that this latter instru'
ton was not only not corret
statement Of the law, but WE
also in conflict with the corre'
rule given.

SAVES THE TIMBERS
Scientific Press Tells How to Avoid
Heavy Expense In Mining.
ARE SEVERAL METHODS
Application Of Creosote, Carbohnium
and Zinc Chloride is Cheapest.

One of the biggest expenses
connected with mining is found
in the timbers used to support
the various gangways, says Min
ing and Scientific Press. Their
destruction by decay and break
ing costs many hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars annually and in
some cases the loss of human
life. Mine operators are fully
familiar with these facts. They
know also that the seasoning and
preservative treatment of timber
add to it's life in service in the
mine, but it has only recently
been established by experiment
that effective seasoning and treat
ing with creosote, carbolinium,
and zinc chloride can be secured
at a cost so slight in proportion
to the greatly increased life of
the timbers as to effect a mater
, ial saving.
In the loss of mine timbers at
least 60 per cent are destroyed
by decay and the remainder by
crush. The percentage charged
to decay should be even higher,
because many of the timbers that
break have already been weak
) ened by decay.
Decay is principally caused by
wood-destroying fungi. Warm,
: moist air, together with certain
n gases always found in mines,
y greatly favors the development
of these fungi. Ventilation is an
a enormous factor. Timber in the
d vicinity of shafts and slopes
v where there is abundance of fresh
% air lasts longer than that deeper
II in the mines. The variation of
;. moisture and temperature within
,e mines is so wide that timbers
E. may decay in eight months or
,e may last several years. Timbers
that are constantly wet or con-
IS stantly dry last longer than those
subjected to an alteration of these
conditions.
Insects play considerable part
Of in the destruction of mine timb-
on ers. Many forms are found, in

Big Elk pleases Owners.

Frank Thornton, one of the owners of
the Big Elk group of mining claims on
American river, three miles west of Elk
City, the first of the week finished his
assessment work. Mr.. Thornton brought
few samples of the ore to the Mining
News Office, which, he states, has much
the appearance of the ore from the
Crooked River property.
The Big Elk property is principally a
huge dyke with ledge running through
it. The tunnel is now in 1876 feet and
the face shows ledge IL feet in width.
