Finsen-Ray
Gets Eleven Feet
Determined by the Diamond
Drill Now Working on
the Property.

t Considerable excitement wa
caused in Phoebe Thursday las
) by the statement that the dia
mond drill operations on the pro
perry owned by the Finsen-Ra,
Mining company, situated in tht
Highland district, had deter
mined the existence of a large
body of ore. We investigated
the report and found it to have
ample foundation in fact. Man
ager Joseph Taylor had in his
possession some of the core tax
en- from the drill, which he ex-
hibited to a representative of
this paper, and it certainly was
the real thing" The ore is
very similar to that found on the
famous Mendha property, which
is close to the Finsen-Ray. 1t is
of a yellow quartzite character.
and runs we'll in silver and lead.
Manager Taylor stated that
when he left the proper
ty Thursday morning the drill
had been working in this charac-
ter of ore for at least seven feet
and had not at that time gone |
through it. So that the extent |
of the present body is problem
atical. So well did many of the
people in that section think of the
showing that they Immediately
ordered large blocks of the stock. |
This ore was struck at a depth
OF three hundred and twenty-nine
feet, and with the quantity de-
termlned to exist it is the inten,
ton of the company to immedi-
ately sink a shaft to the depth
where the ore is found. People

We're elated over the showing,
and it may be the means of caus-
ing many Others lat once begin
operations on the many good
claims in the Stampede and High
land districts.
The Finsen-Ray company is
composed largely of local people
being launched through the eff
forts of Joseph Taylor, assisted
by E. A. Hodges, of the Hodges
Cook Mercantile company, and
DR.. W. P. Murray of Caliente.
Many local people subscribed for
stock in the beginning to enable

On the ground, and the recent
strike is destined to bring them
arge returns for the enterprise
shown, and their trust in the
great mineral wealth of our trib-
ltary districts.

tOrial today referring to the special
celebration by Americans of the 10th
anniversary Of the blowing up/of the

that they had sent their uniforms

Office of Mr.. Jerome and asked for all
the evidence he had against the ice

Three Masked Men Loot Bank at
Granite Falls.

Charlotte, n c., Feb. 16.-While one
masked robber held up the cashier in
true wild west style his companions
looted the vault of the bank at Granite
Falls, n. c., early last night, secured
all the cash in the institution, $1,000,
forced the cashier to enter the vault,
and after looking him in made good
their escape
The robbery-the boldest in the cri-
minal annals Of the state-was not
discovered until o'clock this morning
When Cashier w. G. Whisnant did not
appear for breakfast his family, thor
oughly alarmed, instituted search. On
entering the bank a feeble tapping was
heard on the vault, and when it was
opened the missing cashier stagger-
cd out more dead than alive from his
fifteen hours of close confinement
According to the cashiers story,
three strange men wearing half
masks, entered the bank at o'clock
Saturday evening, and while one OF
them held him up at the point of a
pistol the other two, oblivious Of the
fact that pedestrians were passing the
door, proceeded to help themselves to
the banks cash.
The work was done quietly and rap
idly, the robbers betraying the cool
ness of professionals.
When satisfied that they had appro-
,priated the available cash the lone
robber forced Whisnant to enter the
vault, and then locked him in. Whis-
nant declares he made all the noise
possible in his cramped quarters, but
his disappearance was not noted until
this morning, when his family dis

the time made by the ship is the best
ever made by a vessel Of the armored

the fact that picked coal was used,
that the bearings were carefully ad
