JACK JOHNSON CRUSHED.
Prospect of Prison Sentence Comes
with Loss OF Fortune.

chicago. May l4-Jack Johnson, the
Ieut.No.cht champion prize fighter, who
WAS convicted last night Of trafficling
IN women was crushed to-day az the
realization that the conviction might
send him to prison. The negro said the
prosecution had broken him financially
and that he had spent about $4,000
financing his defense. Johnson's attorney
declared that If Judge Carpenter refused
II new trial he would carry the case to
tn supreme Court.
That the conviction Of johnson is the
forerunner Of laws forbiddlns mis-
ccgcuation. was the assertion To-Day ol
Assistant United states District Attof-
ncy Harry Parkin, who conducted tHe
case for the government.
"This verdict will go around the
vor1d.' he said cit is the forerunner
of laws TO be passed in the United states
which We may live to see, laws forDid-
ding miscegenation This negro IN the
ewes of many. has been prosecuted fer-
hans as an individual he was. But MS
misfortune is to be the foremost eN-
annie OF the evil in permitting the inter-
marriage Of whites and blacks. He mas
violated the law. Now it is his func-
zion 10 teach others the law must be re-
spectcd.'
In his Instructions to the jury United
States District Judge Carpenter empha-
sized the fact that the character of the
prosecuting witness must not be consid-
cred.
''The fact that the prosecuting witness
is a discarded mistress, an abandoned
woman does not affect the issue IN this
many unfortunate people here in this
case, trainers, fighters, camp hangers-or

nausc of their status in life their evil

NEVER MINDED
NEW SILK GOWN
Kathryn Mccarthy Saves Rut-
land Lad from Drowning
in Muddy Water.

Rutland. May notwithstanding the
fact that she had just donned new silk
dress to 80 out for the evening, Miss
Kathryn Mccarthy, telephone OPP
orator, ran out of doors when she heard
splash and a cry late yesterday and
pulled out of three feet OF very muddy
water William, the four-year-old son of
MI and Mrs. w. l.. Dickerson. The lad
had fallen into a big hole and would
surely have drowned but for the girls
timely arrival as there was no other per-
son in sight. The girls dress was spoiled
but she refused compensation from the
parents.
Some workmcn have lately been pump
ing water out of cellars in the vicinity
and the flow from the mouth of the
pump had excavated hole six feet deep
which was sufficiently filed with water
so that Just the top of the head of the
boy, who had fallen between planks
placed over the hole, was visible when
Miss Mccarthy reached the scene.

TWO COEUR D'ALENERS
IN ALASKA GOLD RUSH
CHARLIE AND MIKE SINCLAIR
PROMINENT IN THE
STAMPEDE.

In story on another page of this
issue Is given details of a stampede
to new gold diggings In Alaska The
account is interesting and the strike
looks big, but Of course IT is too early
to say definitely
OF those who seem to be in the list
of the first stampeders are the names
of Charles and Mike Sinclair, both we'll
known in the Coeur d'Alenes and
among the first to reach the gold belt
in the Coeur d'Alenes in the early
eighties
Charlie Sinclair has been at Kat
talia and other points In Alaska for
some years past. Mike had just ar
rived by steamer to visit him the day
before they started for the new
diggings.
The brothers were owners Of some
of the best gold quartz on the North
Side in the beginning of this camp.
In later years they have been inter-
'ested in property on Pine creek and In
the vicinity Of Kellogg. Mike has
given much personal attention to the
development of. the Surprise mine, now
a part of ths Highland Surprise, and
lis largely interested in the Alhambra
and did much toward its extensive de-
|velopment. Very recently he has taken
"a lease on the property.
The brothers are not strangers to a
scene such as is depicted in the story,
and know how to get action in gold
excitement It would not be surpris-
ing to hear that they had landed some
Of the good things in the new field.
Mike Sinclair is a member of the
state legislature from this county.

THE COtUR OAlENE.
MAsT0D0h, ST. JOE
GOOD SHOWING or oRE--coun.
TRY WITH MINERAL POS.
slBlLlTiEs.

The Occur d Alene- Mastodon Min
ing company. having group of pro-
missing claims on the ST. Joe slope,
about Is miles southwest of Wallace,
is engaged In doing It's annual assess
ment work for the year. Last week
there was sent over wagon load Of
supplies and two men accompanied
them The route is by Placer creek
wagon road as far as Cedar creek and
the property Is four miles westerly by
trail. The location Is high up and the
property is capable Of deep develop
ment by tunnel.
The company Is composed mainly OF
Occur d'Alene City people. The claims
were located some seven years ago
and considerable development work
has been accomplished
Wallace parties who have visited the
property say there is q good shown g
and ample inducement to work There
is strong ledge on the surface
characteristic Of the groupings of this
country, and on the dump there is
considerable galena ore, usually very
coarse grain. similar to much ore found
in the Coeur dAlene. This character
of galena here is generally high in lead
value and lower than the average In
silver.
There is vast territory on the
north slope OF the st. Joe river that
has been but little prospected. 1t is
gratifying to see development there,
with encouraging results. Thus far
that section has been considered prin-
|cipally for Its timber resources, but It
is section of great mineral possibili-
ties as we'll, and is gold field for the
|prospector.

WORK. TO BEGIN

A contract has recently been let for
tunnel work on the Happy Day, and
this is likely to be the beginning of n
considerable amount of development
work on the well known Burke prop
erty Engineer John Norduuist has
been up there recently preparing for
renewal of work.
Something like eight or nine hund-
red feet Of development work has been
done on the Happy Day. 1t lies in
the Hercules locality and On the north
side adjoining the Ajax
The Happy Day claim was located
August 1, 1890, twenty-three years
age The Hercules and other ground
in the same locality was located at
practically the same time. Some Of
the old timers Of Wallace will dis
tinctly recall when the Happy Day
location was made. The name on the
notice Of record are Fred H, Harper,
Harry liz Day and Charles Reeves.
Harper and Day personally made the
discovery and location. They had their
camp in the Sunset peak vicinity and
prospected in the country lying east
Reeves was running the Q. X. barber
shop at the same location it is Al
(present. He had on exhibition in his
shop number of chunks of nice look
ing galena from the new strike. Az
the writer remembers, the Happy
Day gave the first prominence to the
new district. afterwards made famous
by the rich ore and great production
of the Hercules.
The present officers of the Happy

Saturday, August 10. Is the date set
for the annual picnic at Kellogg under
the auspices of the Industrial Union.
It Is to be an event Of magnitude, on a
broader scale probably than anything
lever before attempted in any part of
the camp. And why not? for here are
the biggest mining operations In the
|camp, and that which naturally fol-
lews--the biggest payroll.
The whole camp and surrounding
country are invited and there will be
Entertainment for them. Low railroad
rates for 10 miles in all directions, ex-
tending west as far as Tekoa, will be
secured
Miners. business men and all con-
|cerned are cooperating to the fullest
in preparation, It is proposed to raise
$25OO for prizes and other necessary
purposes, an amount in excess of any
thing ever before raised for similar
purposes in the camp. The details are
being worked out by capable bust
mess men and miners jointly
All the usual attractive fea-
lures Of mining camp celebration
will be embraced in the program-and
then some, for 1t is proposed to have
two aeroplane flights, the first attempt
of this in the Occur d'Alenes.
Here are the features in general:

People of the Coeur d'Alenes have
always looked with great interest upon
the development Of the mineral re-
sources Of western Montana. Many Of
them have been directly interested
there and are today. Western Mon
tana and the Coeur d'Alenes are much
similar in their formations, their min
eral product is much alike, the general
topography of the districts is the same.
and. as matter Of fact. there Is Moth
state line. 1t Is no wonder therefore
that q, portion of western Montana ly-
ing partly in Missoula and Sanders
counties is usually referred to as the
East Occur d'Alenes. There is close
business connections between the two
sections, for they are mining com
munities and the wants and necessities
Of their people are the same. From
east of Iron Mountain and Cedar creek,
Montana, to the western boundary Of
Shoshone county. Idaho, is one min
eral belt, with general course slightly
north of west. and south of east.
Spring Gulch and Iron Mountain.
In the easterly portion Of this belt
are the Iron Mountain mine and other
properties Of that immediate neighbor-
hood, and little further west, at tho
head Of Spring gulch. the King and
! Queen, Glen Metals, Iron Mask and
numerous other we'll known properties.
some furnishing steady production and
others in various stages of develop
ment. Many Of these are deserving Of
special detail description, but 1t is with
the King and Queen at this time the
writer desires to deal. Z.
King and Queen Mine.
This is one of the original discover rs
of the Spring gulch district, made just
about 26 years ago It Is the only pror
erty in the immediate locality equip
ped with milling plant and making
regular shipments of its product.
Spring gulch opens into the Missoula
valley about five miles west Of Super
ior and Iron Mountain. on the Mil
waukee and Northern Pacific railroads
respectively. 1t Is near four miles "
length. It is pretty gulch or valley
widening out in places, and with ar
abundance Of good timber and bunch
grass. One popularity that marks Il
as different from other gulches in this
intermountain country Is that there u
no running water visible. The under.
ground drainage Of its territory is re.
lvealed right at its mouth as volume

MuLLAN is BUSY.
Noticeable Effect Of Activity at the
National.

1--WE have got busy town up our
way" said M. J. McHugh, a pioneer
resident of Mul1an, who has seen the
town at every stage of its growth and
is therefore good authority on the SUBJ
ject. Everybody is busy-everybody
working who wants to work. The
activity at the National makes very
noticeable difference on the streets Of
Mullan. Many more men are to he
seen with lunch buckets going to and
coming from work, and these new ad-
ditions, with the regular force. which
is no insignificant number. show un-
mistakeable evidence that there is
something doing in the mining dis
trict."
Mr.. McHugh set his stakes at Null
Ian in 1887 and has never regretted his
choice Of location. He was one Of thu
builders Of the Mullan hotel that year
an institution still doing good busl.
ness, though materially enlarged.
