Mining News.
Snowstorm Looking Good.
Walter Pittock, one of the
owners OF the Snowstorm, on Red
River, was in camp Monday and
exhibited a beautiful piece Of cop
per aud gold ore, which was taken
from the bottom Of the sump in
the main tunnel of the property.
The specimen showed about all
colors Of native copper, but by
assays made sometime ago it is
known also that the rock holds
high value in gold and silver.
The specimen was left for the Bus
ter people to assay.
The work on development is
going on with, at present, q small
crew Of men. The station is CON-
pleted and work on the shaft will
be started within the next few
days. Before forming the station
a crosscut was made and the ledge
was found to be four feet wide,

News.
From Blue Jacket Mine.
A. F. Parker is the recipient OF
some choice specimens Of copper
ore from the Blue Jacket mine in
Rapid river mining district which
is being developed by Frank John
esse for members of the faculty of
John Hopking university. The
ore is shOt with solid chunks of
pure copper, and the vein for a
distance of 80 feet along the 400
foot level is mainly composed ~
this character of quartz. The veiu
itself is from 20 to 80 feet wide and
average samples give returns OF
$3.50 copper, s4.2O in gold and
81. 55 in silver per ton, making a
total value Of S26 45 per ton. There
is also a parallel vein being devel-
oped on the $50 foot level which
shows large body Of $40 and $12
ore.
Connections were recently made
between the lower tunnel and the
upper workings by raise, giving
good ventilation, and the main de-
velopement work hereafter will be
devoted to EXPEDITION the main
vein from the several levels. The
property at this time has practi-
cally l5O, 200 tons OF ore in sight,
that will average $3.50 per ton.
The final payment on this proper
ty will be made during the summer,
and patent proceedings will then
be instituted, and in q short time,
with the construction of the rail.
road down Snake river, the Blue
Jacket will speedily assume posi-
tion as one of the largest copper
producing mines in the world.

The Vermont press association
which has been so handsomely enter
tanned by Governor Proctor this week
duly appreciates the courtesy and
privilege extended A real newspaper
mans life is spent in learning things
for the benefit of his readers and
when this gathering of facts is made
as easy and pleasant as it was this
week at Rutland, Pittsford and Proc
tor the newspaper writers ought and
do feel grateful. The Vermont Marble
company is the states largest single
business enterprise. It's affairs and
workings have been discussed, more
or less ignorantly, by Vermont editors
for years, but in the future there are
some forty of them who will know
better whereof they speak. So, too,
of Senator Proctor's great and last
tarium at Pittsford. Here is an in
stitution, the best of its kind, and the
best that money could produce. 1t
is already doing great work and des.
tined to do greater one in the fu-
ture. The Vermont press associa-
ton has learned some things which
should benefit its members and those
who read their daily and weekly
writings.

Deadwood, July 25.-He was a Ger

into town with his big country wag-
on. His wife was with him and the
twain wandered into a shoe store and
proceeded TO examine some shoes
The man carried with him an ordinary
dinner bucket somewhat rusty that he
placed ON a box near the door while
his wife was completing her pur
chase. Then they both strolled up
the street.
In about half an hour the iancher
returned and taking the bucket from
the box on which il had been standing
inquired mildly of the shoe man;
Say, would II be too much trouble
TO put this bucket in the safe COR
little whle?"
The proprietor looked at him won
deringly.
What on earth do you want to put
that bucket In the safe for?"
A curious sort of grin came over
the face Of the rancher.
Lift it, he said TO the shoe man
The latter took IT by the handle.
The weight almost jerked his arm
out of the socket. The rancher took the
cover OF and showed the bucket al
most full of $40 and 500 gold pieces.

olRL MURDERER REHEApEp
Killed Her Fianoe and Forged VIII In
Her Favor

Freiburg Saxony July 25.-Grete
Beier, the is year old daughter Of the
mayor of Freiburg. was beheaded
Tuesday night some time between
dark and dawn in punishment for the
murder of the man to whom she was
engaged to be married.
The executioner Of this young wo.
man reached the city last night. He
carried a thin looking box containing
the axe with which he did his work,
and brought with him also hand bag
with suit Of evening clothes. The
wearing of this garb Is an official re-
quirement of the sombre occasion.
The preparation for the execution at
the prison had been completed and
the man did his work quickly and pri
vately and departed for Freiburg as
quietly as he came. The executioner
is an anonymous person who was sent
down here from Dresden on the an
nouncement that the king of Saxony
had refused to pardon Crete Beier for
her crime.
The personality Of this young girl,
who came of a good family, and her
thoughtfully arranged murder of her
fiance, Herr Prefiler a rich young civ
IL engineer, attracted international at
tention. She was seemingly happy
and fun loving girl At her trial she
admitted with the utmost simplicity
that she visited her fiance's house one
evening, gave him cyanide of POTASH
um in drink she mixed for him, and
then TO make sure of his death, shot
| him IN the mouth with his own re.
volver. She then dropped the weapon
at the dead mans side, placed a furg.
ed will in her own favor on his desk,
together with note of good bye, also
forged, saying that he feared to lose
her love through certain revelations
In addition TO these papers the
young girl also left behind a package
of forged letters purporting 10 come
from a woman in Italy, accusing Pref
fer OF deception and threatening to
tell Crete. These forgeries We're Sc
skillmlly done that they successfully
deceived the police and coroner.
Crete fell under suspicion a month
after the crime through a letter "a
an unworthy man limiting at what she
had done. This letter was found
VIXEN the man was arrested for a mis-
demeanor.

SILVER KING LOOT FOUND

Phoenix, Ariz., July 25-Jack
Thornton, the prospector. who, in es-
Gaping a mountain lion he had wound
ed, found $4,000 in an old cave near
Pioneer, ella county, at last has dis
covered, II is believed, the hiding
place of the thieves who, in the ear
ly days, robbed the Silver King mine
of thousands of dollars worth of its
richest output.
George w. Mcfarland, who gave
the first news of Thornton's rich find
is inclined to believe that the wealth
the old prospector stumbled across is
none other than a small part of the
riches of which the Silver King was
robbed.
Much of the silver taken from the
Silver King, was in virgin state, be
ing almost pure metal. The ore found
by Thornton fits this description per
fectly.
