Start Sinking Deep Shaft in
Few Days.
HAVE GOOD ORE in RIO TINTO
Stakeholder Visits Property Much Pleased
With Showing.

Work at the Ameaican Eagle
mine is moving along very well
at present. The station in the
No. z tunnel where the shaft
will be sunk, is nearly completed
and the work of raising will be
commenced soon. The raise will
be put up to the surface, coming
out at the portal of tunnel No. l.,
where the hoist will be stationed.
Manager McDermid has had a
force of men at work in the Rio
Tinto claims, and in the lower
tunnel has cut a ft. of ore that
assays $25 in gold. The work in
this tunnel has been suspended
for the present, and all energies
are now centered on the shaft on
the American Eagle.
A large contract has been let
for timbers, and these are now
being delivered to the mine.
There are about 20 1nen employ
ed at present.
Thos. lie Messurier, of Van
couver, B. c., a large stock
holder in the Rio Tinto Mining
Co., the company that is operat-
ing the American Eagle, was at
the property last week. Mr., LIE
Messurier was very well pleased
with the outlook. In speaking
of the property he said that the
recent strike in the Rio Tintc
was of itself a very good show
ing, and that it would undoubt.
edly make a very good mine, but
that the showing on the Eagle
was what the company intended
to develop, as the values haC
been proven.
From what can be learned o1
the plans of the company, it is
the intention to sink the frst
hundred feet, and then cut tt
the vein, where some work will
be done before the work of sink
ing will be continued. The man
agement states, however, that ;
great amount of development
work will be done before an!
attempt will be made to mill th'
ore.

AN ACCIDENTAL
SHOOTING AFFAIR
Thomas Shoots Prescott on
Salmon River.
MISTOOK HIN FOR A BEAR
Wounded Man is at the Churchill Ranch
and Resting Easy.

A very serious accidental shoot
ing affair took place on the Sal
mon river last Saturday, about
noon, when t. G. Thomas mis-
took G.. H. Prescott for a bear,
and shot him in the thigh, in
hicting an ugly flesh wound.
The two men had started out
hunting early in the morning,
and had separated when they
got we'll up on the mountain,
Prescott going on up a gulch.
Some time before noon Thomas
heard Prescott shoot, and then
sat down and eat his lunch. In
the meantime Prescott had come
back on the opposite side Of the
gulch and seeing Thomas quite a
ways below him sat down and
commenced to eat his lunch,
watching Thomas to see what he
was doing. Thomas who was
looking for bear looked up the
hill and on seeing Prescott's dog
at once commenced to get in
range. He also saw Prescott set
ting down, and Immediately con-
cluded that there were two bears,
and working his way to a big
tree got the range and fired.
The first shot hit Prescott, who
made all the noise he could, but
it was not enough to attract
Thomas, who fired another shot
at the dog. He succeeded in hit
ting the dog, and not killing him
the dogs yelp told Thomas what
had happened, and he imme.
diately went to the aid of Pres.
cott.
The bullett struck Prescott ir
the thigh, and as he was setting
down, it went through and came
out at the hip, and did not strike
any bone.
Thomas took Prescott on hi!
back and started for the rancl
at the river, where everything
was done for the wounded man
He was taken to the Churchill
ranch and DR.. Davis, of Elk Cit!
sent for. DR.. Davis arrived
there Sunday evening, and ex
amined the wound and dressed
it, and it is not thought that an.
complications will set in. Whel
