Conductor Harris. of the GIN.

Conductor Harris, of the IN,
is recovering from quite an acct
dent that occurred to him at
-Aneta. Telephone wires, weight
ed with ice, swept him from the
top Of a car and he landed on the
hard ground. He thought at
first that he was only bruised a
little but before the next station
was reached he found he was
bruised up a good deal. He was
lucky not to break any bones but
it has taken him two weeks to
get about with comfort and he
has some still to gain before be-
ing entirely over his fall.-Cassel-
ton Reporter.
Miss Lathrop, who was visit
ing with her uncle and aunt, Mr..
and Mrs. r. A. Lathrop, in this
city, met with a very peculiar
accident last Friday afternoon
which, it is feared, will cause the
loss OF an eye. She had been
doing some sewing and went to
the door to shake the garment
and as she gave the garment a
hard shake a pin which she was
using during the work flew from
the garment striking her direct
ly in the eye penetrating the eye
ball so deeply that it required
considerable straightforward

an eye specialist Saturday even.

specialist says he can do nothing

CLAIMS THAT WEBER

the case of w. w. Kirby VS.. William
Seymour ct al, upon the understand

to go to Weber in case the verdict
was for the defense.
The plaintiff yesterday filed a no.
tice of motion to have the cost bill
dismissed. The total amounts to
about $500. Levers & Huskey filed
the notice. In it they allege that
Seymour was never called upon to
pay the costs of the suit, and In adj
dition that more than two days time
had elapsed from the rendering of
the decision until the time of filing
the bill of costs.
This suit was strongly contested
by both sides, involving as it did, title
to some of the most valuable mining
property in the Wonder district.

ROUND MOUNTAIN
VERY LIVELY CAMP

James w. Travers returned yester-
day from Round Mountain. having
been there on a visit for the first
time in many months, and he came
back more enthused over the district
than ever.
The camp is lively said Mr..
Travers, and there have been MANY
additions to the population since /
was last there. There is not a vacant
house in the camp, and the demand
for houses is insistent, Everybody
in the camp is working, too, and that
means that all the properties are
working. The hydraulic company Is
slashing out the bullion, and the
mines are keeping UP in this sort
of work. The cleanup last month of
the Sunnysiide mill vas 100000.
THE Round Mountain Daisy is
looking better than ever, and there
are two mills on the way there now,
and these will be needed to handle
the ore. In fact, Round Mountain
is becoming a camp of mills. The
Sphynx Mining Company, which is
practically owned by the American
Tobacco Company, has a mill coming
and the foundation has been laid,
and some of the machinery Is on
the ground. The mill, It is said, will
be In running order by the first oil
March. There is also a custom mil
to be put up on the Shoshone creek
by Nazaro and Acre, the machinery
for which is now at Austin. and ar.

EXTENT OF The
DACITE Intrusion
MARK B. KERR is AT WORK
ON AN IMPORTANT
PROJECT.

Mark b. KerrIconsulting engineer
for a number of properties in the
camp, has been inspecting thesi
properties, and will be at the work
for several days yet. Mr.. Kerr is en-
gagged at the present time in the most
important work that was ever known
in the camp, that Of determining the
extent of the dacite intrusion, which
has been of so much worry to the
camp, and to the stockholders out
side Of the camp. In fact, the East
ern stockholders have been more
worried than the people in the camp.
The important work is going on
in the lower levels Of the Midway and
the Montana Tonopah, where in each
mine there has been encountered be-
low the dacite, an ore body, and both
bodies are very promising.
"On the Midway" said Mr.. Kerr,
below the 500 level we are follow
ing a contact on the edge of n of
these dacite tongues, and with great
err depth, it seems favorable that the
ore will improve in value. At the
first station, one hundred feet below
the 500 level, the adjoining quartz
body will be prospected, but this will
not interfere with the continuous
sinking. At another 100 feet, pros
pecting will be again continued, and
it is hoped to obtain higher values
by this work.
1.-THE Montana Tonopah will soon
resume prospecting at depth on their
lowest ore body. the character of
which is closely allied to this ore
body in the Midway"

1t is to be a 20-stamp mill, with

abundant water supply, and the To-

for the benefit of the camp and the

hoped the suspension would be only
temporary. The obligations, accord

to $1,5OO,00O, which is covered by
collateral not readily saleable in the
present market.
Until July of last year the firms

group of four claims. They have
eighteen inches of SIS ore. There
are others who will commence DE-
velopment in a few days.
Some good ore has been founG on
Frazer creek, and between Frazer
creek and Scraper spring. five miles
northeast of Summit townsite. A
number of claims have been located
and the rack pans well. This en-
larges the proved area of the district
and by reason of gold being so uni
formly distributed over such a large
area of country is the opinion of most
experts and men of experience that
the Gold Circle district will be some
day the largest gold producing camp
in the world. 1t has only been three
months since the B%amberger STRIKE
and there is no camp in the State
that can show as rich gold properties

SONGS OF NEGRESS
STIR UP QUARREL


LOS ANGELES, Jan, 14,-Resi-
dents of the fashionable Westlake
district of Los Angeles are greatly
stirred up ove a neighborhood row
which eliminated yesterday in the
issuance of a warrant for Miss Jennie
Clark. maid in the employ of Mrs.
Anna G. Hough, who is a sister of
the late Jay Gould. The complaint
on which the warrant is based,
charges the defendant with disturb
ing the peace, but Mrs. Ameza Spring,
the complainant, has told the prose-
cutting attorney that Miss Clark not
only used vile epithets and abusive
language toward her, but also threat
ened to kill her and Mrs. Ralph
Hagan.
The fact that Miss Clark is a
negress makes no difference to the
neighbors who have taken sides, AMI
when the case reaches the courts
many of the w%ealthiest residents OF
that aristocratic neighboraood will
be called upon to testify. 1t seems
that Mrs. Spring violently objected to
certain songs the Clark girl was III
the habit of singing, and when she
voiced her opinion of the sentiment
contained in the songs the trouble
started.
