IN FROM DOLLY WARDEN.
II. Il. Stingley Talks Enthusiastically
About Granite Mountain Property

r. Il. Stingley. superintendent OF the
Granite Mountain Mining companys
properties in the Dolly Warden dis
trIct in Nevada, is in from camp again
and brings some most interesting news
from the property of that corporation.
Although only small amount of de-
velopment work has been formed there
is every reason to believe that the prop
erty is going to turn out to be a big
thing. In the new working shaft,
which Is down only about 40 feet, Is
showing n fine body of lead ore. In
fact, nearly the entire bottom of the
shaft Is in stuff that will assay about
30 per cent lead.
The Granite property is located in a
fine mineral region and the ledge on
which the company Is now WORKING can
he traced for a distance of fully five
miles. Mr.. Stlngley as we'll as his
associates, arc much enthused over the
outlook for the future.

GOING TO MARYSvALE.

George Arbogast, after having
cleaned up a good deal of money in his
Nevada mining ventures, has decided
to cast his lot in the Marysvale district
in southern Utah. He is the president
of the newly organized Cascade Mining
company and will leave for the south
before the end of the month to start
work on the Cascade group which
forms the basis for the organization.
He says enough ore is already devel-
oped in the property TO justify the erec-
ton of mill and this is among the
improvements contemplated for the
present year.

DYNAMITERS SEEK TO
BLOW UP FREIGHT TRAIN
Attempt Made to Cause Wreck on
Oregon Short Line Is Re-
ported by Track
Walker
b. Associated Press.

b. Associated Press.
BUTTE, Mont, May 3.-What ap-
pears to have been an attempt to wreck
a freight on the northbound Oregon
Short Line, similar to that which befell
the Burlington train Friday night, was
thwarted today by John Holan, who
was walking the track on his way to
Melrose.
When about six miles this side of
Melrose Holan, according to his own
story, discovered fifteen sticks of dyna-
mite in a small hole Immediately under
the rail. Holan threw the explosives
into the river nearby and hastened to
notify the Melrose station agent. When
the northbound train arrived it was
held back until a thorough investigation
could be made.
The agent at Melrose telegraphed the
local authorities, and the latter are in
clined to give credence to Holans story
in view of the theft recently of a guam
tity of powder from one of the mines OF
the district. About seven sticks OF
dynamite were found on the Short Line
tracks. The would-be dynamiter was
arrested and confessed to his part in
the plot.
George Ehle, fireman of the Burling-
ton overland limited, the train which
was dynamited by bandits Friday near
