New York, May 19.-High govern
ment officials at Washington are al
legged to have ccEsF:red to obtain the
possession of love letters, said to have
been written by United States Senator
Thomas c. Platt to Miss Mae c. Wood
in signed statement intrsduced as
evidence today in Miss Woods suit
for divorce against the senator.
The statement which was introduced
after the court had denied that motion
by counsel for PFatt to dismiss the
complaint, bears what purpOrts to be
the signature of j. Martin Miller and
Miss Wood, who said that while she
did not see the signature signed, she
was assured by Miller that it. was
genuine. The statement was prepared
by Miller at her request, she testified.

by high government officials in

the pan to get possession OF the orig
iHal papers failed, a scandal was to be
begun in newspapers to force Miss
Wood TO come TO terms.
"WyFre, first assistant postmaster
general, started the ball rolling by
getting a New York newspaper to
print an article as it first appeared. -

SEVEN TR0UGHS ORES
MAY ALL BE MILLED

1t is quite evident that the days of
shipping high grade gold ores to the
Smelters from Seven Troughs is about
at an end. During July the Kindergar-
ten company made test runs on the diff
of the month, according to reports from
camp, real picture rock was being put
through with such perfect results re-
lated TO the recovery of values that the
management at once determined that no
ore, no matter how rich, should be
shipped to the smelters and subjected
to the confiscatory freight and melting
charges
So thoroughly has the kindergarten mill
demonstrated its ability to recover the
values from high grade rock that the
owners of the Wihuja lease OH Therein
ground have just decided to abandon the
intention of shipping thirty tons of SEN
sational ore and instead will have it run
through the kindergarten mill. BY so
doing a product Weighing but a small
fraction of the crude ore can be obtained
and shipped by express and sold prac
tically at bullion rates.
1t looks as though about the only thing
needed to make life worth living" in
the Seven Trodghs district. now that good
mills have been erected, is the installa
ton of retorts in which to reduce to bull
lion the highly concentrated products of
the ores of that region. With such a
convenience probably more than One-half
of the production of the district could
be sent out in the form of gold-silver
bars.

the president of a Lake Superior copper

Copper is bound to advance from 1871

other.
There We're those who a little more
than a year ago boosted that they were

SALT LAKERS'

Dozen Local Operators Will
Operate in Nevada Lead

A dozen Salt Lake mining men have
just organized "a. syndicate to operate
ground adjoining the property recently
secured by j. p. Turner, about six miles
from Basalt, on the Nevada-California
railroad, and also a group of four claims
adjoining the famous Indian Queen NINE

Graft and Percy w. Saville.
This undertaking had its birth in the
brief story concerning conditions in the
country near Basalt told by j. p. Turner
when he was here a few weeks ago. 1t
had the right ring to it and a number
of the parties who have just formed the
syndicate mentioned decided to have D.
Z. Mcpherson, the well known mining
engineer. go out and size up the coun-
try. He did so and, before returning,
located four claims adjoining the eleven
claims belonging to Turner and his
sociates. and then went down into the
Indian Queen section. twelve miles south.
and bonded the Jack Stewart group of
four claims. adjoining the mine mentioned
"a mine that has a record of producing
more than $5,000,000.
Yesterday afternoon. after the forma-
ton of the syndicate, Mr.. Mcpherson was
dispatched to camp with instructions to
begin work at once on the Jack Stew
art group and at the same time attend
to having the preliminary work done on
the claims adjoining the Turner mine.
At a depth of sixty feet in the latter
Mr.. Turner is reported to have opened
up a fine b61y of lead carbonate and
galena ore and when Mr.. Mcpherson left
camp drifting TO determine the length of
the shoot had commenced. A fine ship
ment was ready to go out at that time.
Mr.. McPherson's report on both prop
critics was a comprehensive and con-
vincing one and to read it leaves the
impression that results must surely FOL
low development work. Attention is go
ing to be given particularly, on the start,
to the property held under bond. A fifty
foot tunnel is to be extended 200 feet or
such a matter to get under ore bodies
mined at the surface in early days and,
this accomplished, it is considered GER
tain that the syndicate will have a ship
ping proposition of its own.

facilities within five or six miles and eX-

CACTUS Mine
LOOKING FINE
Samuel MeWhOuSe and Mana
Eger Hanchett Tell What Is
Doing Underground.

; While no effort is being made to exploit
conditions at the property and the man
agenent Is crowding development with
the evident purpose only OF getting re-
suits. an appeal 10 President Samuel New
house and General Manager Lafayette
Hanchett, on the return of the latter from
the Cactus yesterday morning for state
ment was not altogether frutless.
Il have not talked with Mr.. Hanchett
since his arrival" said Mr.. Newhouse,
but the reports from Superintendent
Drummonu indicate that the mine is in
splendid condition. In what is designated
at the mine as the black stope, Mr..
Drummond reports that they are now
breaking down ore that is running per
cent copper and from So to 81 in gold per
ton. This stope Is on the 900 or main tun-
mel level and the disclosures there being
made are counted as most valuable and
significant. On the 400 level a body of %
per cent copper ore was encountered some
time ago and | am informed that the
developments there are also most assur-
ing. In fact. the mine as a whole Is con-
stantly emphasizing the fact that. great
as il is. we know comparatively little as
yet about its limitations"
Manager Hanchett was later found in
his office and in answer to a query as to
how things were looking in the bottom he
stated that the shaft was not sunk in the
ore at the lower levels. On the 800 the
SsScut has not yet reached the ore,
Int the appearance of the face of the
d.yt when Mr.. Hanchett left the camp
was such that he declared he would not
