MINES IN MANY CAMPS.

A strike of rich gold ore has been
made in the West Goodenough mine,
in the Bear creek district.
The recent strike in the Ambergris
mine, adjoining the Hercules on the
northwest, is proving to be rich.
The Malheur Gas & Oil Development
company of Union, Ore, has struck oil
at Vale, Ore, in what seems to be
paying quantities.
The roof of the mill at the Atlas
mine, in the Buffalo Hump district,
has been broken down by the weight
of great body of snow.
Thus far in February the United
Metals Selling company has sold &c.
100000 pounds of copper, the bulk of
it to England and Germany.
The ore in the principal claim of the
Mark Cooney property, near Burke,
Idaho, is widening out as the drift
progresses, according to a late report.
A body of fine milling ore 16 feet
wide has been struck in the property
of the Alice Mining company, located
in Ruddy gulch, four miles from Wal
lace.
A late report from the Charles Dick
ems camp in the Wardner district
states that a large body OIL rich ore
was opened up recently in the Charles
Dickens property.
There is less refined copper unsold
in the United States than there has
been for many years. The copper
brought prices averaging slightly I'M
der 10 cents.

Japs, were killed by the explosion.

that he and his brother, Thomas L.
Greenough, have not secured a renew
al of the option held by them for the
purchase of controlling interest in
the Snowshoe mine and that the op-
ton has expired.
A rich strike on the Paragon prop
erty near Murray was made Sunday.
This makes three big strikes in the
district within almost two weeks and
the fact that high grade galena ore
has been encountered in good guam
titles at depths of 900 and 800 feet
explodes the old theory that north
side ore bodies do not go down.

1t is a matter Of common observations
that grass does not grow so we'll close
to trees as In the open. The same Ia
true of grains. Experiments in Eng.
land and in this country have shown
that the deleterious effects of the near
neighborhood of grass and trees an
mutual. The trees suffer as well AZ
the grass and grain. This is especially
true of fruit trees The cause is as
cribed to the excretion by the trees
on the one hand, of substances poison.
Ous to the grass, and by the grass, on
the other hand, of substances poison
BUS to the trees. 1t thus appears that
the failure of grass to grow well near
trees should not be ascrlbed to too
much shade, nor to the exhaustion by
the tree roots of the food supply need
I'd by the grass.

AID FOR THE SOLICITOR.

We have held for Ions while mt
in all those counties OF the state
where there are cities there should be
a local solicitor TO aid the district So
licitor in the prosecution of criminal
cases of the graver kind Under our
present system the district solicitor Is
greatly handicapped in preparing I'M
portant cases. He has TO start out
without any knowledge OF the case
except what he can gain from the wit
nesses who are marked ON the Dill oil
indictment and in most cases he la
to grope his way in the dark ali
thloueh the case Were there 4 local
prosecuting attorney the solicitor when
re came to the court would lind the
case already worked up and a .arge
amount of valuable information gath-
ere. to assist in the intelligent p. ose-
cut:oa of the case; and the ccnse-
quen. e would be that not so many
guilty. ones would escape-throIgh no
fault in any manner Of the solicitor.
Holding the opinion as above ex-
pressed it is hardly necessary to say
we heartily approve the action OF New
Hanover's board of commission rs in
SO enlarging the duties of the COMFY
attorney as to require him TO person
ally take charge of the states interests
in all inquests by coroners juries and
Investigations before magistrates in
capital cases as well as when neces sary
to act with the solicitor in the trial
of capital cases in the superior court.
New Hanovers county attorney Is
Mr. Marsden Bellamy, Sr., one Of tie
leading lawyers of the states, and es-
pecially noted as a most succ IS. ul
criminal practitioner. Hereto.oe he
has always exercised his great legal
talents in behalf of defendants; now
the state will have the benefit of them
to our county's great advantaga.
