STIRLING CASE COMES TO END
Judge Scores Lord Northland For
Writing Darling" Letter.

Edinburgh, Feb. 16.-The Stirling di-
vorce case came to a close with the
address of Counselor Morrison in be-
half of Lord Northland, who was
named by Stirling. Lord Guthrie pre-
siding, reserved judgment.
Morrison based his appeal on the
ground that an adverse Judgment
would wreck Northland's career. Lord
Guthrie interrupted him, saying: 'The
letter that Lord Northland wrote to
Mrs. Stirling, in which he addressed
her as darling was a most dishonor-
able act. He must have had ire
mendous motive to commit such a
breach of propriety."

flag on February 18th, that was bought

day last week, behind a team of horses
belonging to Samuel Counterman at
Lake Lodore, the Bobolink had an ex-
perience or fright that he doesn't want
every day. 1t being early in the morn
ing, and the foreman, Mr.. Cawley,
crowding men and teams and breaking
the ice off in order to get the plant run
ming by 7 A. NJ, sharp (it will be well
to say that the ice cutters and teams
to have ice ready by seven) there being
three gangs of ice plows, the first being
the marker, cutting from two to four
inches in depth in which the eight inch
plow follows after the eight-inch, fol-
lows the ten inch plow, which leaves the
ice ready for spudding and rafting. Rats
of ice are poled down the channel to the
water box, consisting of from fifty to
one hundred cakes. There it goes through
another process of spudding, separating
the cakes ready for the elevator or car
riage. 1t was while running the ten
inch plow close to the waters edge that
the team of horses, plow, Bobolink and
all, started down for a cold bath, the
ice all giving away between the plow
and waters edge. With presence of
mind the Bobolink ierked the plow loose
ana up on the lake where the ice was
solid, which prevented the horses from
being dragged down into twenty feet of
water. 1t was an experience that the
Link will not very soon forget.

Jack Aylward came over frora Man
haitian Wednesday, where e is in
charge of the operations of the Big
Five company, and lie reports that
water was turned into the big gravel
bins of that company for the first timo
yesterday. He estimates that the gravel
will average $40 cubic yard, which
will be occasionally increased by the
discovery of rich pockets along the
channel.
They have encountered an abundant
supply of water at bedrock, and have
equipped the property with gasoline
gallon water tank, rs feet of sluiee
boxes, and As feet of rifles Every
thing is complete for operations on an
extensive scale.
Mr. Aylward is associated in this en-,
terprise with Dick Colburn, +. $. Hunt,
Il. j. Shoemaker and S. r. Mason
They figure that splendid profit can
be made from $40 gravel, as the cosl
of operations will not exceed 81 PEI
cubic yard. Aylward brought over 3
ig sample of the gravel yesterday
which assayed $29.16 per yard, lut he
says they do not expect it to keep az
that good an average. They can handls

Common street talk at Pioneer is to
the effect that the Jolly Jane will be
the next big property opened up there,
and that it is in line for big develop
ments almost any day now. Its stock
is selling freely in the east at Z y cents
per share, and the fact that the lease
term has been extended to Feb. D, 1911,
making it the longest term lease in the
camp, gives it greater interest to the
public.

ORIGINAL VELVET LEASE
rs AGAIN A SHIPPER
About five tons Of $25 ore were ship

About five tons Of $25 ore were ship
ped today by Milty a Barrett from
tht ir lease on the Original Velvet
ground, thus bringing this property
once more into the producing list. Ia
the early history of the development
of this ground several good bunchcs
of ore were found near the surface,
and about $4,000 produced, but the
ore shoot was lost, and the iessees were
unable to locate it again, although .
great deal of work was done in an
effort to find it. Believing that they
could find another shoot of ore, Mlley
& Barrett recently took lease, and
have encountered very promising
pocket. The ground is quite erratie IN
this vicinity as far as development has
demonstrated, and it can not yet be
said how extensive the recent discovery
may be.

NEW HIGH GRADE SHOOT
OPENED IN THE FLORENCE

was unable to find any really high grade
ore on this level, and the SmithFlorenee
lease, which also prospected this neigh
borhood, likewise missed it.
Preparations for increasing the
capacity of the Florence mill are being
energctically pushed. The grading is
about completed, concrete walls are be-
ing constructed and timbers are being
framed for the extension of the mill
building. The new tube mill and four
additional Card tables are expected to
arrive about July l, and it will require
two or three weeks longer to get the
new equipment in place and ready for
operations.
These additions to the plant will
raise its capacity to about l75 tons
per day, and make it possible 20 keep
the entire battery of 40 stamps drop
ping all the time. A good grade IF
ore is now being sent through the mill,
and that good saving is being effect
ed is attested by the recent declaration
of another dividend of $105,000.
Throughout the mine the showing or
ore is becoming greater and better, and
there are many fine bodies of shipping
ore exposed, in addition to the ore
that will be run through the mill. There
is sufficient ore now opened to supply
the mill at full capacity for several
years to come, and new bodies of ship
ping ore are constantly being encount
cred in the progress of development
work.
Plans are being worked out for put
ting the old Reilly lease workings in
shape for the production of ore from
