FREEMAN GROUP A con-
tract for 100 feet Of work has
been given by Otto Freeman to
John Taylor and partner to be
done on the group of claims
owned by Mr.. Freeman adjoining
the Comet on the west and the
Smuggler on the east in the
Stevens Peak section. The tun-
mel is now in $50 feet and it is
believed that the present con-
tract will be sufficient to strike
the ledge.
COMET-The contract award
ed some time ago to Matt Coyne
and Perry Moffatt has been COM
pleted. The drift is now in
about 600 feet but it is estimated
that 500 feet more will have to
be done before the showing made
in the upper workings is encoun-
tered at depth. The face of the
drift at present shows minerali-
cation. The property adjoins the
Springfield in the Stevens Peak
section and it is believed that it
is traversed by the same ledge.
HELVETIA-A force of four
men has been set to the devel-
opment of this property on the
west fork of Pine creek. It is
the intention to continue the
crosscut to the ledge. The prop
erty is in a fine formation of
Burke quartzite earring lead,
silver and zinc values. The
ledge is about 20 feet wide.
PANHANDLE SMELTER-In
a recent interview President ].
Herbert Anderson announced
that the plant will be running at
capacity before the end of the
year and that arrangements have
been made which places the con-
Germ on better financial basis
and on a sounder physical condi-
ton than ever before. Accord
ing to Mr.. Anderson's statement
II creditors Of the concern are
to be settled with in full.
HECLA-The new machine
shop has been completed and the
machinery removed from the old
one. With the new and power
full Aldrich pump recently in
stalled, the electric hoist, the
c compressor plant and shaft
equipment, the Hecla now pos
sesses one of the most complete
plants iii the district.
The mine is located at Burke.
TIGER-Dols & Dunphy, who
hold a lease of the old workings
Of this mine, have discovered a
pocket of first class shipping ore
from which shipments will be
made for some time to come.
The strike was made above wa
ter level and it is believed a
arge amount of ore may be taken
out before the pocket is exhaust
I'd. The values are said to run

Estate Is Disputed.
LEFT ALL TO LADY FRIEND

II Is Claimed Death Bed Marriage Was
Forced Upon the Old Man and That
I He Was incompetent to Execute a
WiIi--Relatiyes Seek to Have VIII
and Marriage Set Aside.
Washington, March 31.--Mlss Mary
S. Reeves, of Philadelphia, Is one of
the principals in a three-cornered
fight in the District courts for the pos
session OF the fortune OF John r.
Brown, a former Philadelphia.
Miss Reeves is represented by Con-
gresham Moon, and the litigants who
oppose her are Mrs. Rachel Anna
Richardson Brown, who says she mar
ried Brown a short time before his
death, and dozen or more distant
relatives, all OF Philadelphia.
The testimony adduced ia the case
reveals a touch OF romance. Brown
many years ago renounced his rela-
tives, so 1t is said, and came to Wash
fngton Five years ago he became en-
gagged to Mrs. Richardson, who acted
as his secretary and nurse. Several
months ago he suffered a stroke of
apoplexy. and when asked IL he wanted
physician replied that he did not,
but desired minister and insisted
upon marrying Mrs. Richardson.
Soon after that he made his viii in
her favor, but later. it is alleged, upon
advice of Benjamin Schwartz, secre-
tary to Congressman Moon, made an
other. leaving his estate, amounting to
more than $4,000, to Miss Reeves,
who was merely his friend.
1t is now alleged that the marriage
was forced upon the old man, who was
seyenty-two years of age. aud thab he
relatives of Brown also come in and
seek to have both the marriage and
the win set aside and to have the prop
erty divided among them.
The evidence thus far addueed tends
to show that the old man was in his
right mind when he contracted the
marriage and that the ceremony was
legally performed Tracy L. Jeffords,
who represents Mrs. Brown said there
was possibility of startlingly sensa-
tional evidence which would involve
several persons in Philadelphia. He
refused to disclose the nature of this
evidence or to intimate who the per-
sons concerned are.
Because of the character of the evil
dence and the romance Of the old man
marrying his secretary on his
deathbed, the case is attracting much
attention
