SENATOR JONES LOSES
A RICH GOLD PRODUCER

Nine bricks of gold aggregating in
value s13,4O0, were taken to Redding,
California, last week by Superintendent
Musser from the Milk Maid group of
mines, near French Gulch. The gold
was taken from 100 tons of ore taken
out on prospect work at the Franklin
mine, one Of the Milk Maid group. No
stopping was done. The ore was taken
out while drifting. Last month $l3,6oo
was taken from 400 tons Of ore. This
month . output shows that the ore Is
becoming more valuable. The mines
were once owned by Senator John p.
Jones of Nevada, but were sold two
months ago. They were believed to be
worked out, but recent developments
proved them to be among the best mines
in California.

STRAY DOG CLAIMS ARE
RELOCATED AT MANHATTAN

and amended location are the main
subject Of conjecture and speculation
among mining men of the camp. Some
are of the opinion that the new Local
tions were made for the purpose OF
making the side lines Of the Stray
Dog end lines, for the purpose Of main
tanning the apex rights in the pending
litigation. Others, that a portion OF
the Stray Dog was open ground, and
that il was staked for the benefit OF
the Stray Dog stockholders. And again,
some Of the Stray Dog stockholders
are apprehensive as to what situation
they are left in, as the new locations,
on their face, do not show that the
locations were made for, or on account
of the company.
You can get lots Of free law on the
streets during the last few days as to
apex rights, rights to change boundar-
les, the rights and relations of landlord
and tenant, trust relations, fidnciary re-
l~ations, character, economic princi-
pies, labor and capital; in fact, the
discussion has taken the broadcast
scope, and every man holds his W
opinion still.
1t is to be hoped that the litigation
will be terminated at an early date,
and that the ground in dispute will be
again operated.

Speculation is at a high tension
among local mining men as to the pur-
pose and effect of the re-staking and
new locations being made on the Stray
Dog and Jumping Jack properties by
Frank Peterson and Geo. Hale Brad.
brook, says the Manhattan Mail.
On the Stray Dog two new locations
have been made by Geo. Hale Brad
brook. A short distance west of the
Stray Dog shaft a location monument
was put up on August 18th, claiming
$50 feet northerly and $50 feet south
erly, with 800 feet on either side, and
the claim was named Stray Dog No. 1.
This location takes IN the STRAY Dog
shaft and hosting plant. Leaving a
block Of the original Stray Dog gronni
lying east of Stray Dog No. ], untouch
ed, another location was made OH the
same day farther east, claiming the
same area, and named Stray Dog NO. 2.
These new locations have their location
monuments on the original Stray Dog
claim, and take in ground formly staked
by other parties.
On the Jumping Jack claim an
amended notice of location was posted
on August 25th, by Frank Peterson, ~
which the boundaries of the claim, as
mentioned in the amended notice, Gov
ers a portion Of the Big -Four, Gold
Wedge, Gold Crater, Riley Fraction

part of the Shea lease, the west line
passing close to the Shea shaft, the
southwest corner being on the south
side line of Union No. 9, ON Stray Dog

Some months past a suit war brought

JUDGE WHO TRIED FAMOUS
JACKASS" CASE IS DEAD

Judge Norman Buck, rs years o.
age, a native of New York, veteran o.
the Civil wal and pioneer of the Pa
eifc Northwest, who decided in th,
United States district court of north
ern Idaho in 1855, that "Bill,' a pack
mule, owned by Cooper and Peck,
prospeetors, was the actual discoverer
of the famous Bunker Hill aud Sulli
van mines in the Couer d'AIenes, and
thus fixed the ownership of properties
now worth more than $4,000, 900, is
dead at his home in Spokane, Wash,
following a second stroke of paralysis,
the morning of August 20.
The story of the discovery of the
properties reads like a romance of the
early Spanish days, and the finding by
Judge Buck at Murray, Idaho, where
the services of a sheriff and bailifis
with drawn guns were required to
maintain order in the court, while
without a precedent in she annals Of
legal Jurisprudence, has been Upheld
by the blest men on the bench and is
yet frequently cited as a decision
worthy of the best trained legal mind
of the day. These words are recorded
in connection with the case in the
Idaho scrolls of justice:
From the evidence of the witnesses,
this court is of the opinion that the
Hill mine was discovered by
the Jackass, Phil O'Rourke and n. $.
Kellogg; and as the jackass is the prop
erty of the plaintiffs, Cooper and Peck,
they are entitled to a half interest in
the Bunker Hill and a quarter inter
est in the Sullivan claims
The case was tried at Murray before
Judge Buck and a jury. 1t created
considerable excitement and not a lit
tie amuseme mt, among the miners and
prospectors who crowded the court
toom. After being learnedly argued,
he case wal given to the jurors, who
promptly returned a verdict that Coop
n and Peck were not entitled to any
in the mine. The next day

WEEKEND BRINGS SUIT
FOR $4,000 COMMISSION

f. II. wedekind, well known in Cold
field as a mining promoter, is plaintiff
in a suit brought in San Francisco re-
Gently against J. b. Osborne, former
owner of the Tecopa Mines near San
Bernardino, for 100000, alleged to be
due as a commission under a eontr,o.
entered into with the sale OF the Tecooa
property in view.
Wedekind asserts in his complaint
that he introduced IL. G.. Mcmahon
John T. Overberry, and j. n. Lester, to
Osborne after he had created in Their
minds untold enthusiasm regarding the
prospect of getting riches out of ire
Teeopa, and that, in turn, the sale Of
the property was made to these three
friends of his. Then, as is further al
legged, Osborne repudiated his contryc.
with Wedekind which was to pay a
commission of 100000 providing the
price ammounted to 100000. TLe
property sold, says Wedekind, for 1906,
900 and is worth 100000.
Wedekind is best known here as an
erstwhile claimant for a big interest in
the Keane Wonder mine, the contro-
versy over the alleged ownership re-
in a fist fight in the Goldfeld
hotel several months ago between HON
n Wilson and Wedekind.

basis Of $4,000 0 0 in cash and shares
in a company they formed. A compro-
mise vas arranged with Cooper and
Peck, who received $4,000 for their
share, and the mine was sold.
Many persons participated in the

MAKING TIMOTHY HAY.

Timothy may be cut in the morn
ing and put in the NOV in the after
noon II you know how TO do it. Start
the moving machine as soon as the
dew is off in the morning, then fol-
low the machine with the tedder and
fellow the tedder with the side-de-
livery rake. If the day is a drying
one the hay may be made in perfect
condition for moving away before
night and the hay made in this way
Will some out a nice green color in
the winter time and the stock will
go for it like cornstalks in summer.
A little clover sprinkled through
the timothy will cure all right, but
if there is too much clover it may
lead TO trouble. Timothy is easily
handled If there is no dew on it or
no rain. The juice in the stalks will
be absorbed and will not work in
jury, but rain or dew seems to
have a different effect There is a
fungus growth induced by water on
green clover that grows aud deyel-
ops in the NOW and causes heating.
This fungus is responsible for the
dust in cured hay. 1t is the one
thing to avoid,
One great trouble in making nay
is that farmers are liable to cue
down too much 1t is better to cut
an acre or two, cure it properly and
ROW it away than it is to cut down
more and take chances. This is
case where it is better to be safe
than sorry.
