Sentiment appeared to nave switched
around very decidedly. although SUI

unchanged. There was reCurrenc.
Of rumorS regarding the health ~
prominent financier now abroad and
the long continued drouth in the Ne
braska corn belt excited some appre-
henSion. From the very outset the
market was irregular. chiefly owing
to "A series of bear attacks which con-
verged largely around the Hartman

display steadiness We're New York
Central and Atchison. Transactions
We're again very large, with London
reported a seller here to the extent %
$4,000 shares. mostly the Harrimans
and United States Steel common.
There was a general late recovery
from the heavy tone. which had its
inception in a fresh buying movement
in Union Pacific. The balance of the
active list moved along in sympathy,
the net result being gains which
ranged from fractions in the Harri-
man issues To points in Chicago 4
Northwestern and a point or more in
AtchiSon. New York Central and the
steel issues. Illinois Central and
Louisville & Nashville did not partici-
pate in the recovery and some of the
less active stocks. including Ameri-
can Cotton Oil. registered material
losses. There was statement from Il
representative of the interstate com
merce commission predicting revival
of the enormous railroad traffic Of
1907. IN international banking circles
there was talk of resumption of gold
exports To Argentine. The money
market was very strong with further
indications of stiffening of sales.

the latter company acquires a right

Jointly with the star company and the
use of its plant and power at a nom
inal consideration for the develop
ment Of the Ivanhoe ground.
The agreement is one of the best
examples in the district of the bene-
fits to be derived through co-opera-
tive working. The Star company has
driven west $50 feet on the strike of
the vein fissure. with more or less
ore in sight. and with 1000 feet to
drive to get out Of their ground. The
Ivanhnc people take up the work at
this point. driving the 1000 feet along
the strike to enter their own terri
tory, of which they have 100 feet.

of 2.200 feet before reaching the end

+ on the east end of this productive
strike is the Morning mine. which
has mined up to 1906 over 13l 542 tons
Of metallic lead and 4951.779 ounces of
silver. and is still a producer on a

probably the most distinctly marked
in the Coeur d'Aiene region. 1t cuts
the bedding almost vertically for its
total length: is at right angles to the
strike of the beds and has been fol-
lowed underground in excess of 5000
feet along the six-milo zone. in places
widening to commercial shoots and in
others pinching to narrow black

The recent strike in the Black Bear

The tunnel levels of the Black Bear
Fraction company on the Canyon
creek side and that of the No. 6 of
the Morning mine of the Federal COM
pany at Mullan are approximately the
same. 1t will require about $500 to
5000 feet along the strike of the vein
fissure to tap the Ivanhoe- Star

creek At the same time by driving
west on the vein fissure strike the
Morning can tap the ground at about
the same distance. A tunnel north To
crosscut the Star in GrSuse gulch will
require a greater footage. and will, in
the main. be an unproductive piece of
work when compared with the first.
The former will allow of tapping
Canyon creek for the water supplies
for milling. giving an independent
outlet. and the competition of two
lines of railway running up Canyon
creek for the handling of the finished
products.
There Is room here, for one of the
largest consultations in the history
of the Occur d'Alenes. and it Is inter
osting to note the cooperative feel
ing of harmony which prevails among
the Independent producers along this
belt. So far it promises To cut de-

DENTAL-vicTIM MISSING.

Rumors OF a mysterious shooting In
r. f. Moore's saloon, No. ia Farmer
St, which the police, after investiga-
ton. concluded were without founda-
ton, were cleared up by Moore him
self when he appeared in the place
about 10 o'clock. Friday morning. and
announced his intention OF giving him
self up TO the police.
Moore admitted that there had been
g shooting and that Louis Totten,
former bartender, was the victim. Ac-
cording TO his own story, Moore le!d
the gun when it was discharged
through Totten's hand, and, Moore be-
lieves. into the victims breast, but he
insists that il went of accidentally as
a result OF Tottens inference.
Moore's story is that Totem came
into the place early in the evening
and after creating a disturbance up
stairs came down to the bar ana
"butted in" on a dice game. Moore and
Totten played for some time, hrst for
the drinks and later for money. Al

Moore then took revolver from
drawer and pointing it at Totten, or
dered him TO give up the money. Tot
ten, instead. reached over the bar and
grabbed the revolver which, In the
struggle, was discharged. The fact
that the bullet struck Totten in the
hand no doubt saved his life.
Totten fed precipitately and moth

The latter is becoming a very COM

refuses To be placated that way,
II insists That sin is sin.
That il is not mistake,
that il is not an inheritance, and that
II is not a misfortune. There may he

accounted for In that way, but after

I'VE do believe in the forgiveness

no forgiveness. To pardon is not TO
