SURVEYORS
GET BACK

j. A. Coverley, one of the
guides who piloted a crew of
Northern Pacific surveyors from
the Elk City basin, up by the
hot springs and to the head wat
ers of the Middle Fork in the
Bitter Root range, in an effort to
find a feasible route for the Mis-
soula cutoff, eturned to Elk
City Thursday of last week.
F. A. Shissler also was a guide
for the same party, but stopped
in Sites for a visit.
Mr.. Coverley, of course, knows
nothing about the conclusions of
the engineers or the report that
they will send in to headquart-
ers, but he states $500 feet ele-
vation was the lowest pass they
found on the divide in the short
time that the party was in the
field. The work had to be hur-
ried; the party left Elk City on
September 23rd; progress was
retarded by trails that had to be
cut, and before the party reached
the high altitude both men and
horses suffered with cold and the
early snow. The summit of the
Bitter Root range was reached
the middle of October, and the
men made two trips down the
east slope some distanee into
Montana. The return trip was
made down the Middle Fork tC
Kooskia, a good trail being oper
all the way.
Mr.. Coverley reports severa

ALI Operations at Property Were
Suspended Wednesday Night.
THE REASONS FOR 1T
Lack of Transportation Is the
Chief Cause.

The Buster mill, which had |
been crushing ore night and day |
for~two years, lacking fifteen |
days, working on a single ore
shoot, ceased operating Wednes-
day night, and all work in mine
and mill will be suspended for
a time.
The move has been threatening
for more than a year. The pub
lie will want to know the reason,
and this paper feels that it will
not be a violation of any rule of
friendship if it gives its own
opinions gathered from being in
close touch with the management
from the time the property was
first taken under bond by the
Observation-Disclosures syndicate.
The reasons, briefly told, are:
Lack of transportation to ship
the heavy concentrates from the
ore below No. 3 level; disagree
ment in the company as to fur
ther development, Mr.. Mackenzie
having all the mining he can
comfortably take care Of in the
Goldfeld Consolidated; lack Of
harmony between S. w. Smith,
one time sole owner Of the mine.
at present the largest individual
owner, and the other members Of
the company
That the mine has been a pay
ing investment, the actions Of
the owners themselves prove.
Tentative plans were on foot just
before July LIST 10 install an cleo
trie plant, sink a shaft on an
other ore shoot and enlarge the
mill. For thirty days before the
shutdown the mill treated 35 u
40 tons Of ore daily, the greater
part Of which assayed over $50,
gold, 10 the ton. The total
amount of ore treated runs oYel
80, 900 tons
That the company thinks wei
Of Che district their actions prove
They negotiated for other prop
critics and have leit standing of
fefe, bui up ~ the present Che.

SOCIALISTS CHARGE
GLEfSON AND AIDS
File Accusations With Police
Commissioners Against
Three Police Officials

In retaliation for the police interfer-
the local socialists, through Selig Schulz
berg,s one of their most prominent mem
4rs. preferred charges against Captain
Henry Gleeson, Detective Bunner and
Policeman M F. Joy before the police
commissioners yesterday. accusing them
of breaking UP a lawful meeting. The
charges were kept secret and will be
taken up by the police commissioners
at a special meeting Wednesday after
noon at 2 O'Clock.
On the night following Emma Gold
mans arrest at the Victory theater on
January IA the members of the socialist
party endeavored to hold another meet
ing there. but the lessees of the theater
refused to rent the hall to them. A
was therefore called at the
common stumptng ground at Post and
Fillmore streets, but after the speakers
had been addressing the crowd for n
short time Captain Gleeson, attended
by Detective Bunner and Policeman JOY.
interrupted them and dispersed the
crowd. This act was made the basis of
the. charges preferred yesterday
The claim of the socialists is that the
was lawful in every particular
and that in breaking it up the police
exercised power not allowed to them.
The police claim that the meeting was
fast developing into the regular So
cialistic oratorical display, and rather
than have the peace disturbed it was
considered best to interfere and dis
