Van Etten- Foster

The south drift being run ON the So.
foot level of the Van Etten and Foster
lease on the Empire is out 90 feet. 1t
is thought that the ledge will be cut
inside of 30 feet. The face is now in
a harder formation. The big vein was
passed through, and its entire width
shows ore of good milling value, with
occasional streaks of richer ore that
will bring the average up.
The ledge now being driven for shows
a width of seven feet exposed in the
"glory hole" south of the shaft, and
carries values of $55 per ton in gold.
1t will take about two weeks to cover
the distance, and the lease will then be
in the producing class. The shaft on
the Gopher is being sunk with all pos
sible speed. 1t will be connected with
the Empire shaft, and the leasers ex-
pect to cut another ledge between the
two openings.

no important changes to note. The
usual tonnage Of ore is being extracted
from the slopes on the Brougher and
South veins ON the various levels, the
ore bodies showing as strong as ever in
the backs. No drifting has been done
on the rich vein cut by the southeast
crosscut on the 300-foot level, this work
being held up pending making a con-
~nection with the raise from the 400-foot
level, in order to secure a better vol
ume eff air. Several other small veins
carrying high values in this section of
the country will be prospected as soon
as a better circulation Of air has been
obtained.
West End Con.
Everything is in readiness now to de-
velop up the big shoot of ore encoun.
tered while sinking the new shaft. The
station at the 400-foot level has been
completed and a north drift started on
the ore body. As soon as the drift has
been advanced far enough so as not to
interfere with the work raises will be
sent up on the vein. For the present
work will be confined to the north of
the shaft. This ledge is of immense
width and it will take some time to
learn the size of the ore shoot encoun-
tered. From the work done in the shaft
this body of ore has been proven to be
20 feet thick, with no walls yet in
sight, and how much larger the shoot
is time and development only will
show, as the bottom of the shaft is full
of ore. The station is 1872 feet high,
IL feet wide and Is feet long, and
looks as if the West End people have
struck one of the biggest shoots of ore
ever found in the district.
Jim Butler
The opening up of the vast territory
owned by the Jim Butler Mining com
pany is progressing very favorably and
work is going on at several points from
the Wandering Boy and Stone Cabin
shafts. While ore is exposed in the
levels from both shafts, no attempt is
being made to extract it, the manage
ment devoting all its time to the open
ing up and development of the known
veins and prospecting in search of new
ones. Work is being prosecuted from
the 100, 200 and 400-foot levels of the
Stone Cabin shaft and from the 200 and
400-foot levels of the Wandering Boy,
the former shaft being also sent down
from the 500 to the 700-foot level in
order to carry OF the prospecting work
at depth. This shaft is now down $50
feet and is being pushed as fast as pos
sible. The bottom of the shaft is in
early andesite, mixed with quartz.

An immense amount of prospecting
and development work is being carried

OF Attacks on Residence OF
Foreigners
IN TWO HAYTIAN CITIES
First Guns in Target Practice at San

Considerably Ahead Of Ex-
pected Beginning.

Kingston, Jamaica, March l6.-The
widest rumors are circulating here Of
attacks on the residences Of foreign dip
lomatic representatives at Port An Prince
and Gonaives, Hayti, and OF further Off
cial massacres of natives who were sus-
pected Of participating in anti-govern-
ment conspiracies.
In the existing state Of disorder, it is
feared that all foreign residents Of these
and perhaps other towns must be in
the gravest peril. II is believed that
the legations and consulates are pre-
pared to resist attacks.

which recently arrived here from Port

preparations in desperate haste to re.

Citizens.

Washington, d. c., March l0.-The
navy department was informed through
a wireless message from Admiral Evans
to-day that the weather conditions were
ideal Tor target practice, which is now
on at Maglalena Bay. The message
said that Admiral Evans hoped to make
better records than ever before 1t had
been expected that fully four days would
be required in which to get the targets
in position and lay out The ranges, but
the work was concluded Iii four hours
and the first guns were fired at sunrise

which Is the most sheltered part Of this
natural haven Of the sea. Looking to
the south there Is a broad expanse of
water nearly twenty miles long, while
the width Of the bay at the entrance Is
nearly twelve miles.
The ranges are to be set first at 1000
yards. Then they viii be extended to
1000 yards, and then to a maximum OF
5000 yards for the smaller target, which
is l5x20 feet in sic. For the great tur.
ret gums, the twelve and thirteen inch
rifles, the ranges are heightened from
5000 to 5000 yards, and the targets are
increased to 30x6C feet
As one ordinance officer on the battle
ships expressed it, is absolutely essen
tial that the gunners be able to see the
target before they can train the sights
upon it. At 1000 yards the white can
vas object to be shot at appears as only
a tiny speck upon the water.

BANDIT ROBBED TRAIN
AND ESCAPED
Remarkable Tale Of Brigandry Told by
Two Mail Clerks, Who Were
Found Bound.

Spokane, Wash, March l0.--A bandit
boarded the mail ear on the westbound
limited Of the Great Northern railway
at Bonner Ferry, Idaho, before daylight
Yesterday, bound the two mail clerks,
robbed the mail car and delivered way
station mail for 100 miles. Then he
dropped off the train and escaped. The
robbery was not discovered until the
train reached Spokane five hours after
the bandit boarded IT,
The train carried the through mail
and much Of it was registered. The
amount stolen will not be known until
the registered mail has been checked
up.
When the train arrived at Spokane
at 9;20 o'clock yesterday, the mail car
was closed Employees at the station
opened the car and found one OF the
mail clerks lying bound on the mail
sacks. The other clerk was locked in a
closet. They said that a bandit boarded
the car at Bonner's Ferry, division
point, 100 miles east Of Spokane He
entered the car as the train left Bonner's
Ferry, subdued the clerks with reyolv-
ers, bound them and went through the
registered mail At regular stops the
rohher threw OF the mail sack for each
point and took the outgoing sack, but
at smaller places where the train does
not stop, he did not throw off the mail
lie jumped off the train two miles east
of Spokane.
Mail Clerks Stumpf and Nystnn last
night told Of their experience. Locked
in closet, hardly two feet square, NY
stun almost suffocated after the train
had pulled into Sand Point, 81 miles
west Of Bonner's Ferry. Rapping on
the door. he pleaded with the robbcr
to allow him some fresh air. The bandit
responded willingly, leaving the door
aiar about an inch, secured with a piece
Of rope. Twice afterwards the rohber
ceased his work Of riding the sacks to
inquire how Nystun was feeling.
When Stumpf demonstrated to his
captor that the cords which bound him
were cutting into his wrists, the robber
loosened the fctters somewhat and made |
every effort to make it as comfortable
as possible for his victim. While rip |
ping open the registered sacks the rob
ber, dressed like mail inspector, cut
one Of his fingers, and many pieces Of /
mail were blood stained.
