FLYNN GROU The suit to-
quiet title to the Murphy Frac-
ton lode claim. which has been
under dispute between the Flynn
Group Mining company and
Frank Murphy, has been decided
in favor Of Mr.. Murphy. Judge
Woods decided that the rights Of
the plaintiff company had lapsed
and were barred by the statute
Of limitations. The claim under
dispute is on the top Of Flynn
hill, between the Morning and
Star groups on the east and the
Frisco claims on the west.
COPPER MOUNTAIN "A con-
tract for 100 feet Of tunnel has
been let. This work will be q
continuation Of the crosscut and,
it is expected that it will be
sufficient to intersect the ledge.
The property is near Mullan and
has been under steady develop
ment.
DALMATIA H. s. Davenport
Of Kingston, has commenced suit
against this company for about
$125 for supplies. There was an
assessment on the company's
stock and it is not expected that
there will be any difficulty in
meeting the obligation.
SILVER MOUNTAIN - The
new steam drill ordered some
time ago by Manager Sam J.
Tennal has been delivered and is
doing splendid work. Progress
is being made in the lower tun-
mel at the rate Of between four
and five feet a day. The tunnel
is now in about lao feet and it
is expected that the ledge will
be encountered about 700 feet
from the portal. The property
is located between Wallace and
Mullan and is regarded as a most
promising prospect.

BUTTE & COEUR D'ALENE
Some delay in the development
Of the big ore shoot discovered
during the summer has been oc-
casioned BY the failure Of the
railroad company to deliver the
hoist recently ordered. 1t is be-
lieved that this machinery is 70.
Gated somewhere between Wal
lace and Chicago and delayed BY
washouts. All preparations for
its installation have been COM
pleted. AT present the men are
engaged in drifting on the ore
shoot. This is found to be much
narrower at the top Of the tun-
mel than at the foot, leading the
owners to the belief that they
are working on the top Of the ore
body.
IDAHO LEAD SILVER A re-
sumption of development will be
made on this property about the
beginning of March under the
supervision Of Ed. Eiseman.
The property adjoins the Bear
Top mine in the Murray section
and a good showing Of galena
ore, with iron and red oxides of
lead, has been made in the up
per workings. The property will
be developed by continuing the
lower tunnel which is now in
about 200 feet and which is ex-
pected to break into the ledge
at almost any time.

Gently took over the Monarch
property in the Murray section
On lease carrying an option to
purchase outright, is engaged in
cutting a station at a point about
5. 100 feet from the portal Of the
tunnel. It is the intention to
install a hoist later on and to
commence sinking. A raise OF
1854 feet will be run to the Level
/ above and on the completion OF
this it is probable that another
raise will be driven about SOC
feet to the surface. Ten men
are employed in the development.
NORTH FORK COPPER "A
force of two men have been set
to work to clean out the No. 2
tunnel and get everything in
4 readiness for a resumption of de-
velopment. AS soon as this work
has been completed a boarding
and bunk house will be erected
and two shifts set to work on
development. The work will be
done under the supervision Of
Curtis Lightner. The property
is about IA miles up the North

somewhat hampered by the Wal
lace formation in which the work
is being done. It is believed,
however, that this will soon be
passed and it is expected that a.
soon as the Burke quartzite Is
entered 10 feet day can be
made. The big tunnel has been
driven about GOO feet, Of which
the first 400 feet costs about $40
d foot. It is expected that this
price will be reduced as better
ground is encountered.
TOMBSTONE "A contract for
100 feet Of work has just been
let to Louis Erickson & Co., Of
Mullan. The consideration is
entirely in stock. The work will
be on the drift to the north which
has been run about GO feet. This
drift commences at q point about
600 feet from the portal Of the

located near Kellogg.
COEUR D'ALENE VULCAN
The 3,OOO-foot crosscut to cut
the three lodges traversing the
property has been driven about
800 feet and the men are now
in softer ground. For some
time past the ground was ex-

necessary to timber. The pow

expected that the plant will ar

The property is in the Osborne

JUGGLING THE ALPHABET
AN INTERESTING PASTIME
lF ANY attempts have been made by
VI ingenious writers to put the
u whole alphabet in a single SEN

ingenious NllltIS " Pub htiS
AtA whole alphabet in a single SEN
tence without duplication of letters.
Professor De Morgan, the famous
mathematician, tried to juggle the
alphabet into one sentence. each letter
being used but once. After many fruit
less attempts he decided to compromise
exactness by using for j. and further
by regarding u and as the same let
err Then his final accomplishment read
as follows
81, quartz pyx. who fling muck
beds"
At first he did not appreeiat the full
significance of his accomplishment, says
the Housekeeper. cat last" he says,
81 happened to be reading a religious
writer who threw aspersions on his
opponents thick and threefold. Hey
day! came into my head, this fellow
filings muck beds. He must be quartz
pyX.
"Then 1 remembered that a pyX IS
a sacred vessel and quartz is hard
stone, as hard as the heart of reli-
gious foe cursor So that the line is
the motto of a ferocious sectarian who
turns his religious vessels into muck
holders for the benefit of those who
will not see what he sees.'
The professor published his sentence
and called upon others to outdo him
if they could. The following are sam
pies of the efforts which resulted:
Quiz, hy wings, export fund back"
"Dumpy quiz, whirl back fogs next"
"Get nymph; quiz sad brows; fix
luck"
The professor awarded the palm of
the competition to this last sentence.
at is good advice" he explains, ito
the circumstances. In more sober Eng
lish it would be: Marry, be cheerful,
watch your business"
Even when the duplication of letters
is permitted the crowding of the entire
alphabet into a single coherent sem
tence is not an easy task, and such ex-
amples as John p. Brady gave me
black walnut box of quite small size,
which is perhaps the best known, are
neither numerous nor important.
There is one verse in the Bible which
contains all the letters of the alpha
bet except j. this is the twenty-first
verse of the seventh chapter of Ezra,
and as the verse contains some forty
words the collocation is only note
worthy because it occurred without
previous design.
None of the examples here given are
perhaps as good as that recently
quoted in the New York Sun: Pack
my box with five dozen liquor jugs"
This contains the entire alphabet, is
perfect coherent sentence and has only
thirty-two letters, in comparison with
forty-seven letters in the John p
Brady" example So it would seem to
hold the palm.

PICTURES OF BOYS
PROVE DIFFICULT WORK
UJ HE drawings of boys were
somewhat disappointing.

W HE drawings OF boys were
somewhat disappointing.
a Many of the best and most
capable artists did not do well at
all, and others made no effort to
contribute to this topic.
Still even with this drawback
the page is filled today with a
group of pictures, each repre-
senting in the best way the vari
Gus pursuits of school boys. The
pictures for the front page today
were drawn by Irwin Haines,
whose drawings have already be-
come familiar to Junior readers.
The most recent achievement of
Irwin Haines was the invention
of an airship which will sail, as
he demonstrated to a large group
of spectators at the Thirtieth
street schoolhouse the other day.
For that reason, and also for
the exceptional quality of his
work throughout this contest, the
Junior editor takes pleasure to-
Gay in using his two drawings
for the front page group.
Hazel Cox, $50 East Forty-sec-
ond street, is another young ar
tist whose work is advancing
very rapidly, and within the next
fortnight the front page picture
will be one of her own design, a
cleverly illustrated poem, in
which her ability to draw pretty
girls and attractive looking chill
dren will have full play. She also
submitted a picture for the con-
test this week, and only on ac-
count of lack of space it was
omitted from the paper
Virginia Smith, Alb Islay
street, Santa Barbara, contribut-
ed group of boys enjoying va
cation sports, but the picture was
hardly up to her standard. She
has also sent large drawing for
the front page, but the verses are
printed in lettering that is alto
gether too small, and for that rea-
son the picture cannot be used.
Alta Dunlap, III East Seven
teenth street, Polytechnic high
y school, is one of the newcomers
in the list of artists, and her pic
ture OF small boy at the seaside
is very promising, and her work
will undoubtedly improve in the
way of applying the ink and get
ting her shadows better placed.

have been missed recently, con-
tributed rather clever sketch
