NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-That Harry
Thaw's relatives will soon endeavor to
secure his transfer from Matteawan to
a private sanitarium, but that no move
is contemplated to set him entirely at
liberty, is asserted in an article pub

He will probably never be freed. No
member of his family wants him set
at liberty" the account continues.
Mrs. William Thaw is declared to be-

him turned loose" 10 take up the

Evelyn Thaw is asserted also as

and doubt is expressed whether II he
were given freedom, the couple would

As a result of the irreconcilable division
during the day there was far from a

About o'clock, after many futile
ballots had been taken, the Rev ]. L.
McKim moved that an adjournment be
taken. Some suggested that the con-

urged that the election go over until

The South Fork Bridge.

The filling of the approaches to the
south fork bridge, just beyond the
leila mine. was completed last week,
so tar as the contract of HambIic and
Parsons is concerned. The filling is
principally of the soft gouge material,
Nevertheless there is no reason If
good coating of suitable material for
top dressing Is put on, why it
should not pack solid and hard into a
good roadway. The filling has been
done in good shape, and the con.
tractors, contrary to general expecta-
10 ms, made excellent wages out OF
the job. The material for the bridge
lroper, the steel beams, and a guam
tity of lumber is on the ground, but
the work of putting it together had
not commenced up to the early part
of this week. We do not know
whether there was any time limit
placed upon the contractor in this
instance. Ii there was not it was
serious oversight on the part of the
county management. In it's present
shape it is a menace to travellers, as
we'll as a handicap to traffic. Not
withstanding the notice that the road
is closed, the principal travel goes
that way, making a detour INTO the
Meek field on the east side OF the
bridge as the creek is approached
from the south.

MINING NOTES.


leila. The mill started up again
last Friday after being hung up on
account of repairing the shaft for
several weeks. They are running the
full 10 stamps, and the outlook favors
an uninterrupted run to the full
capacity for long period. The shaft
is in good shape. A full force of
miners is again at work.
Fremont. AT this mine they are
running three shifts, IN order to put
the Fremont shaft in shape. The
timber of the shaft above the point
where the damage by fire was done,
are found in bad shape. They have
become twisted so badly by steam
and heat, that the shaft is out of COM!
mission until thoi oughly Repaired
The damage commences about 400 feet
from the surface. All below that
clear to the caved portion must be
retimbered. This will take long
time to fix before they can do any
thing toward removing the debris at
the fire point where the bodies of the
unfortunate victims are believed to
be buried. 1t will be done with all
possible speed, the recovery of the
dead comrades being the all-powerful
incentive to getting through in as
short time as possible.
The estimated loss to the mine IS
in the neighborhood of $780, 600 as
nearly as can be told now. 1t will
cost that much anyway to put the
mine in the same condition as it was
before the fire provided nothing un-
foreseen happens. The men are down
to the first station by this time. AS
they progress the work becomes more
difficult, and they have to move more
slowly, because of the timbers being
more badly burned. From the time
that the Cover and Fremont were
connected until the tire the draft had
been going down the Fremont and
up the Cover, but the fire changed
this, so that since that time it has
been just the opposite. After con-
siderable work the draft was changed
to the former current. They bulk
headed the Fremont shaft and ran an
air spipe below this, while in the
Cover steam pipe was run down
into the mine. When the steam was
turned into the Cover, since the
draft was cut off in the Fremont, it
rose to the surface, drawing the COM
pressed air with it. The bulkhead
was gradually removed from the FIRE.
mont until it was found that the cur
rent OF air had completely changed to
its former status. At the time of the
fire the ore bins were full, so that on
the mill was started. Be
sides this there was considerable in
the Cover which could be milled.
This is being brought to the surface
as rapidly as possible. There will
probably be sufficient to keep sthe
mill running through the rest OF the

| week. Since the draft has been
changed a very distinct odor of de-
composing flesh can be distinguished
in the $50 level, while the same can
not be noticed above this, or in any of
the drifts below. This seems to sub
stantiate that foreman Osborne's as
sertion that he talked with man who
was below him, when he got to the 700
foot level. This was when he was
lowered to see what the trouble was,
not knowing that the mine was on
fire. The engineer received eight and
seven bells, indicating that a man
was on the $50 level ringing the
danger or accident signal. He in
tended to stop the skip and telephone
to Osborne at the 700 level, but IN
the meantime he had a signal from
Osborne to lower. According to the
engineer he then received signal to
hoist. Ibis was when the skip was a
little below the TOO. when he en-
countererd the smoke. lie called
out, and was answered by some man
presumably above the $50.
Defender.-F b. Joyce was down
from Defender last Monday, and
brought with him the cleanup of the
mill for 70 days. run with one-half
the milling capacity five stamps.
The product was 5000, which was an
average of sc pei ton. A good deal
of the rock run through was mixed
grade, taken out in drifting, and it was
this that brought down the average.
For the last six days the ore crushed
was clean milling quartz taken
from the II foot ore body uncovered
at the 260 foot level, and from the
extra quicksilver used during that
time, it is believed the yield went
fully Sl2 per TON. Next month it is
expected to make much better
showing, as the run will be on clean
quartz exclusively. The owners are
much elated over the outlook. East
ern capitalists have taken hold, and
will put up all the money necessary
for its proper development. Things
look better for the development of
solid mine than at any time since the
property was opened; the ore body is
larger, and shows every indication of
permanence.
Illinois. The Illinois mine about a
mile from Drtyown has installed a
hoist and have commenced operations.
The shaft is down about one hundred
feet, all of which has been timbered,
some of it as far back as sixty years,
when it was first opened. The shaft
has been cleaned of all the debris
that has been accommodating for years.
In the bottom of the shaft number
of old tools have been found. 1t is
the intention OF the present owners
to push the work as rapidly as posi-
BILE. The shaft runs right on the
ledge dipping tho same way, aud
as yet no crosscuts have been
made, so it is not known just what
width the ledge is. Assays taken
