THREE HUNDRED OUT
OF POCKET
PARTY BY THE NAME OF COLE
FROM PORTLAND, ROBBED
OF THAT SUM ON FRIDAY
THIEF SUPPOSED TO HAVE
GOTTEN AWAY ON ROANOKE

The police OF Astoria have clever
Bit OF work ahead OF them and are
working'it ont CAREFUL and it is hoped
successfully 1t has to do with a theft
in this city on Friday last of $500 in
gold coin.
1t seems that two partners arrived
here from Portland on Thursday
nights express, EN- route to San
Francisco, and TO take the steamship
Roanoke hence At 10 O'Clock on Fri
day morning. The name of one of
the twain was r. NJ. Cole, the name
OF the other has not been ascertaincd
at this office. During the morning
hours OF Friday Cole proceeded to get
drunk and was altogether successful;
and in the height OF his "Souse' he
called at the office of the Calender
Navigation Company. at whose dock
the Roanoke was then lying ready for
her departure, and demanded two
tickets for the Bay City; he was ac-
companied by an individual whose
name is not obtainable, but who IS
supposed to be an instrumental artist
in the dubious precincts OF "Swill-
town" Coles irresponsible condition
prompted the company's officers at
the dock to refuse him more than one
ticket on the steamer, and he got that
are paid for, singing his gold twen-
ties around in lavish and reckless
fashion, but finally gathering them to-
gether and staggering away with his
companion.
Sometime after his departure, and
after the Ronoke had cleared from
the dock and was close to the Colum-
bia bar, a man came rushing into the
Calender office demanding to know
if "his partner Cole, who had all their
Joint funds, had bought any tickets
and if he had sailed on the Ronoke?."
He was told all that the agent knew
of the circumstances and he left for
town. A bit later, Officer Du Boise,
of the police department came down
and reported that Cole had been
found asleep in room over one OF
the restaurants and that he was
minus his money and his ticket AND
his friend: the officer asked for full
description of the man last seen with
Cole on the dock, and having gotten
it, went away, returning half an hour
later with a man who was identified,
by Mr.. Crosby, as the party last seen
with Cole on the Calender pier. This
man was then taken to police quarters
and was later dismissed, having salts
fed the police that he knew nothing
of the theft nor of the thief,
The presumption was then plain
that whosoever had robbed Cole had
used the Roanoke for getaway, and
were at once despatched to
Eureka and San Francisco TO the
police officers, to search for the pas
senger holding ticket out OF this
port, of a given number, upon a
charge of robbery and hold him until
warrant and extradition papers could
be sworn out and an officer sent after
him.
Up to late hour last night no word
had been received in the case, but the
information is likely to come in at
any moment, when steps will be tax
en- to round up the business in definite
shape.

greatly improved in health, and he init

BIG SUPPLIES
FOR THE MINES

The Alexander & Friedenrich Com
pany, Limited, loaded five freight
teams with general supplies for. the
Moose Creek mines on last Monday.
The total weight was over 1900
pounds. This company has been send
ing out supplies every week, the entire
winter, to the different mining camps
in the county, says Grangeville Stand
ard News. The Grangeville paper
judges from the quantities of mining
supplies that have been taken to the
mines of the county during the past two
months, an immense amount of work
will be done the coming spring.
The outlook for the mines of Idaho
county was never SO promising as at
the present time.

COURT DECISION
ON PARTNERSHIP

The supreme court has handed down
decision from the first judicial district
affirming Judge Morgan, formerly on
the bench in that district, says Boise
Capital News. The decision is by
Judge Aflshie, Judges Sullivan and Ste
wart concurring. 1t is the case of John
Madar VS.. Samuel Norman ct al in
which an action was brought by CO.
owner in a mining claim against other
co-owners to collect share of the e4-
penses incurred in working the mine
proportionate to the interest owned by
each, and to have the same declared a
lien upon the mine. A demurrer to the
complaint was sustained, and on refusal
to amend, judgment of dismissal was
entered. The court holds:
l. In order to constitute mining
partnership under the provisions of sec
tions 1900 to 1909, inclusive, of the Re-
vised Statutes, it is essential that the
co-owners actually engage in working
the mine or in the business of operating
the mine. The co-tenancy of two or
more persons in mining claim is not
of itself sufficient to constitute such
tenants mining partners,
2. 1t is not essential that all the ten
ants join in the working or business OF
mining in order to establish such part
nership, but that relation may be
established among such co-owners as
have actually engaged in the working
or mining operation. Those not SO en-
gaging, will be left to their right ani
chargeable by their duties as co-tenants
only.

ALL REPORTS
NOT RELIABLE

When considering mining invest
ment offering do not be influenced SO
much by the number of alleged endorse
ments as by the character of them, says
Denver Profit and Loss.
Some alleged authorities will endorse
everything, whereas those whose en-
dorsements would carry weight fire.
quently refrain from endorsing any
thing.
"Well known and representative local
citizens" who testify to the innumer-
able good points of mining proposition
may prove upon investigation to be just
SO many saloon loafers, who have signed
the endorsements written for them, for
the nominal consideration of so many
fingers of whiskey.
Leading mining and financial publ
cations which are quoted regarding
the sure thing proclivities of certain in
vestment offerings, may upon investi-
CATION prove to be so many "write-up"
sheets, which will publish, for consid-
Grafton, most anything which will &c
through the mails.
It has become practice on the part
of some operators to use alleged en-
dorsements from the press securing the
same by advertising patronage, anc
frequently writing the endorsements
themselves, or editing what the fy-by
night publisher dreams" out for them
Always investigate the source, ant
where you can, secure the original O.
the alleged endorsement, seeing wha
it looks like in print, and what the pub
lication in which it is, looks like itself
Before accepting any publication or an.
individual as an authority, make him d
as does the prize fighter when he
challenged by an unknown-go an
make reputation for himself.

Start Monday on Shaft
From Level No. 3.
Solution Process Put in Use
Thursday Morning.

The new cyanide plant at the Buster
mine was put to use Thursday morning
of this week for the first time, and
about Monday of next week sinking
will be resumed from the station that
is now being formed on level No. 3.
Thus another important step has been
gained by the company in saving the
values from the rich rock, and another
moveNwill. be started that will deter
2,ine the Character of the ore below the
water level, and give better idea of
the dimensions of the ore bodies. The
tailings now go direct from the vanners
to the cyanide solution.
Proportion of Concentrates.
Superintendent Joseph Thorn states
they are getting one ton of concentrates
for every 35 tons of rock treated, or a
little more than one ton for every "a
hours the mill rufs. 1t is costing a
cent pound to get the concentrates to
Sites, and Mr.. Thorn said that owing
4, to the heavy expense in getting the
values from the concentrates, his COM
pany is anxious to proceed with devel-
opment work, for it is the size of the
ore bodies and the character of the ore
that is to govern the company in pro-
viding reduction works in the future.
Will Use Machines.
One diamond drill will be put in use
in few days and another has beer
shipped and will arrive soon. These
drills will be used in the Slopes. Three
shifts will work in the shaft.
Mine Foreman F. A. Culbertson was
called to San Francisco short time
ago, and Mr.. Thorn has assumed charge
of the underground work.
