PINE CREEK PROPERTIES
NEED RAILROAD BADLY.
Operators of Yielding and Promising
Properties Need Spur to Better
Handle Their Output.

Efforts are being made by the oper-
ators of properties and the large num-
ber who are developing claims on Pine
creek to interest the railroad company
in the business that is guaranteed for
the near future, to the extent that a
spur will be built from the O.-W. r. &
Ms line some where below Kellogg
up Pine creek. The spur would not be
an expensive one to construct and
would pass near several promising
properties, including the Highland
Surprise, Sidney, Northern Light. Ma
bob. King of Pine Creek, Wonder and
AMY Matchless. There are a number
of smaller properties and prospects
that would undoubtedly be developed
If the spur were built.
OF the many well posted mining men
who have become familiar with the
Pine creek section and watched the de-
velopment of properties there within
the last two years, none is more enthu-
siastic than State Mine Inspector Rob
ert n. Bell. He believes it is one OF
the coming great sections of the dis
trict and predicts long and profit
able period of mining there.

ALho ADDS ANOTHER VICTORY
Finnish Wrestler Awarded Decision
Over Ernest Miller Tuesday.

While the show was a short one, the
wrestling fans who saw the Alho-
Miller bout in Eagles hall Tuesday
evening were given a run for their
money. 1t ended in a decision for AL
ho. Miller put up a game fight, but
had a great disadvantage in weight
He was painfully injured in clean
fall to the mat and was unable to go
on with the bout This came at the
end of As minutes of clean, real wrestl-
ing, with the smiling Finn having the
best of it only in weight, apparently
The difference between the men was
marked Miller weighed 20 pounds
less than his opponent and appeared
at even a greater disadvantage. The
spectators were willing to concede
that he outclassed the Finn in science
in the beginning of the match.
Young Demetral' of Chicago chal-
lenged the winner at the close of the
bout, as did Jimmie Hodgins of Null
Ian. At least one more good match
will probably be the result in the near
future.

HELD FOR LARCENY.
Man Little Known Locally Arrested
ard Charged With Crime.

AS the Ben Bolt of the old song was
able to make poor little Alice weep
with delight when he gave her a smile
and tremble with fear at his frown, so
a man claiming to be his namesalle
is alleged to have brought sorrow to
those who befriended him and gave
him employment when he showed up
at Burke, broke and looking for a job
Ben Bolt the modern, has been act
ing as cooks helper at Swans saloon
in Burke and last Tuesday was order
ed to help clean out: he helped and
If the allegations are true, he made a
good job Of it.
Soon after the cleaning was COM
pleted Ben Bolt was missed. So was
$95 that had been in the cash drawer
short time before. Bolt was looked
for and found in Wallace. He was ar
rested and in his pockets We're dis
covered about $S5. That was larger
sum than most cooks helpers are in
the habit of carrying around, and the
officers decided to hold him. His pre-
liminary hearing was had before JUS
tice Leighty this morning and he was
bound over to the district court.

MINER ENDS HIS LIFE

VICTOR JOki SWALLOWS BIG

IN AWFUL AGONY.

Victor Joki, a miner aged about 40,
ended his life in his room at the Cen
trail hotel in Mullan Wednesday even
ing about o'clock, draining the con-
tents of a 6-ounce vial of carbolic acid
He died a few minutes later in terri
BILE agony. He was unmarried and so
far as is known, had no relatives in
this country, although it is believed
he had brother living in Vancouver,
B. c.
Joki had been out of employment
drinking heavily. Yesterday he spent
the day in the saloons and left his
companions shortly after o'clock. 1t
has been learned that he visited a
drug store on the way to his room and
bought the acid, When his roommate
entered short time after, he found
Joki writhing in pain and unable to
speak. A physician was hastily sum-
moned, but Joki died before his ar
rival. While there are no suspicious
circumstances connected with his
death, the roommate and other friends
were detained as witnesses.
Coroner Mowery was notified OF the
death last night and telephoned in
structions to Justice of the Peace
Kennedy to hold an investigation, and
to use his discretion with regard to an
inquest. It is not thought that an in
quest will be deemed necessary, how
