likes Medical Lake Asylum.

No action was taken yesterday after
William Morrison had been examined
as to his sanity before Judge Brents.
Morrison was brought to the city from
a grading camp about two weeks ago.
According to the testimony heard,
Morrison is suffering from a nervous

peared wholly rational but nervous. It
developed during the hearing he had
formerly been an inmate of the Medical
Lake asylum. He is not anxious to be

returned to the Jail to await further
developments in his case.

THE NEXT DIVIDEND PAYERS

Which will be the next compa
MES in the Occur d'Alenes to joir
the ranks of the regular DIVIDEND
payers? This is a question which
constantly recurs wherever mining
men assemble and its answer has
especial interest to those who have
already made or are contemplating
investments in Occur d'Alenc
stocks.
The Miner has it's own opinion
on the subject. Should nothing Sc
rious transpire to upset present cal
culations with regard to any or all
Of the properties it will name it
believes that the ranks OF the divi-
dend payers will be- recruited as
follows: First the Pittsburg, then
the Stewart, next the Tamarack and
following it either the Callahan,
National, Idora, Charles Dickens,
Surprise or Nabob.
We think the Pittsburg will be
first because it's ore bodies are al
ready well opened up and it is
equipped with tramway, concentra-
tor and every other facility for pro-
duction.
The Stewart still lacks the mill
that is essential to large and steady
production, though that want will
soon be remedied. The same lack
Of facilities will probably keep the
Tamarack from making any dis
bursements to its shareholders for
some months yet.
The Callahan is ACCOMPLISHING a
big reserve fund for deep develop
ment or it would be dividend
payer now. The Charles Dickens
has a mill but lots more develop
ment should be done before it would
be prudent to begin paying out prof
its to shareholders.
The National, Idora, Surprise
and Nabob could all ship if they {
wanted to but all will do better in .

nent and the erection of mills for I

VALUABLE WATER. RIGHTS.
Harry 8. Jones Has Secured Two on
the North Side.

Harry >. Jones Has Secured Two on
the North Side.
Harry 8. Jones of Wallace has To-
Gated two water rights on the North
Side which promise to have very
great value In the near future. The
millsite Is located at the mouth of
Beaver creek. One water right COW
'ers rs cubic feet OF water OF the
North Fork river. the point of diver
sion being the mouth of Lost creek.
The other right is for an equal
amount Of water from Beaver creek
taken from just below the mouth of
Trail creek. The first involves the
construction OF flume seven miles
long and gives 15o-foot head. The
second requires only three-mile
flume and gives a 100-foot head.
That the water rights have a pres
ent as we'll as prospective value is
evidenced by the fact that Mr.. Jones
has already been offered $4,000 for
4 half interest In his rights. He has
been working on the proposition for
he past year but only secured his
grants from the state engineer a
week or two ago. Work on the
Tunes will begin next June.

THE OUTSIDE INVESTOR

The question il often asked us
how can the outside investor best
protect himself. The only answer il
by keeping himself as we'll posted as
to what is going on as if he were a
resident Of this district and this he
can best do, if we say it ourselves,
by subscribing for and regularly
reading the Miner.
The frauds that are sometimes
perpetrated on outside investors by
fakirs who pose as mining men are
always carried cut at q distance
from the scene of the alleged min
ing operations. They could not be
worked there. They could not be
worked anywhere If the investor, be-
fore he parted with his coin, took the
precaution to subscribe for local
paper. He would then learn, in
the event OF fraud, either that
nothing was known OF the al
legged mine where it was supposed
to be located or he could at least
learn what the local estimation Of
its value was. Let us say right
here that this local valuation is the
best way of determining the merit
Of property short Of making a
careful examination Of it by COM
petent and reliable engineer.
There has been little taking SO
far in the Occur d'Alenes. The
community does not countenance it
as most western camps once did and
as some still do. The fakirs know
this and they have given the district
! wide berth. So long as they con-
,inue to do this we shall be en-
irely satisfied.

LABORATORY SUCCESSFUL
Csnsral Sample Across 40 Feet Assayed
g, $40 Ton IN Gold and IN Ounce
!. IN Silver

The Hornsilver mine on Placer
creek Is developing into genuine
surprise and looks now as though It
were reasonably certain OF making a
big mine. 1t Is on a big ledge to
begin with--the same ore zone that
extends from Stevens peak to below
Wardner and which is generally
known by the name of the biggest
mine ON 1t, the Bunker Hill and Sui
Ivan.
|. OF late the workings have been In
"a big body Of low grade free milling
stuff and numerous samples evidence
that practically the whole mass con-
tains commercial values. One gem
eral sample taken across 40 feet of
ledge averaged $3.50 a ton in gold
and over an ounce In silver. Rob-
bins & Moore made a laboratory test
Of this pulp which proved 1t to be
unusually susceptible to water con-
centration. When so treated on the
basis of 10 tons into one the concen-
trates yielded $500 to the ton in
gold, which was equivalent to saw
ing Of 80 per cent Of the total gold
value. OF course such results could
not be looked for in milling practice
but they indicate plainly that the ore
can be efficiently and economically
treated in this way. more especially
as the gold In the concentrates was
mostly free and easily amalgamated.
So far as the prosecuting of the
ledge has progressed 1t has proved
the vein to be over 1875 feet wide.
How much wider 1t Is can not be
said yet. The first 80 feet from the
footwall shows considerable copper
values but no commercial ore bodies
so far. Next to this comes four
foot streak that averages $12 a ton
In gold. silver and copper. Then
comes 80 feet Of crushed quartz
which averages $3.50 in gold. ana
f1.66 In silver. Another four-foot
streak Of dark colored rock was then
which gave average val
les Of $16.40 IN gold. The face of
he crosscut is still in ledge matter.

nobody can zee . foot further into
the ground than anybody else.'
II one could always know what
result the next 30 or 100 feet Of work
would disclose one would know just
what stock TO buy and which to let
severely alone, 80 far as purchasing
them for investment were con-
cerned.
But oitentimes the prices Of stocks
are governed by other considers
tons than the amount Of ore actu-
ally or prospectively in sight. One
frequently sees one stock selling for
half what another does while the
one mine has an actual value, ac-
cording to the best mining judg-
ment, Of two or three times that Of
the other and higher priced stock.
How can one foresee all these
things? The answer is he cannot
do it. All that any investor can do
is to be conservative, use his best
judgment and wait patiently for the
final outcome. That is all that the
most successful operators have ever
done. They seldom put all their
eggs in one basket and out of the
lot one basket at least gets to the
market and makes their fortunes.

FOR MINERS AND INVESTORS.

The Miner is neither in tn
hold-up' nor the "write-up'
business. Its aim is to give it
readers q truthful picture OF thu
progress of work in all the proper
ties in the Occur d'Alenes undergo
ing development, when such devel.
opmcnt shall possess any news in.
tcrcst. 1t does not propose to go sc
far into detail as to record the pro-
gress Of each crosscut tunnel or
other working from week to week
since the only news worth recording
in respect to such development is
that the work is g ping on.
Whenever workings begin to show
unusual naturalization or ore we
shall give the exact facts as wide
publicity as possible to the end that
all who are financially interested
in the property may govern them
selves accordingly and not part for
song with holdings that are begin
ming to give promise Of real value.
We shall also aim to keep the
public fully advised in respect to all
properties which are working in
ore and shall always be pleased to
investigate to the best Of our ability
any reports Of strikes or showings
Of which our readers may have been
advised but Of which we have failed
to hear ourselves.
Our belief ii that a paper con-
Quoted on these lines will he in the
best interest alike Of the camp and
those interested ii it who are nom |
residents. We feel That such q jour-
nal Is entitled to the support Of ev-
sry reputable mine owner and pro-
noter in the district and We earn
,stly request all the support they
an lcgitiinately give us. This they
