BIG MINING CASE
N FEDERAL COURT
ISSUE INVOLVES GREAT ORE
BODY OF ONTARIO NINE
At SILVER KING.

A case practically identical with
the Stewart VS.. Ontario case which
was tried about year ago In this
city, and which went to the state su-
preme court on appeal, Is being argued
this week in the federal court at
Boise. Referring to the case a dis
patch from Boise says:
"One-or rather three--of the most
important mining cases ever tried In
the state Will be argued In the United
States district court this week, prob
ably Monday evening The Stewart
Mining company Is the plaintiff In
each case The defendants are the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan Mining COM
pany the Sierra Nevada CONSOLIDATE
ed Mining company and Jonathan
Bourne, former United States senator
from oregon, owner of a claim called
the Ontario.
"Myron A. Folsom Of Spokane and
Il. II. Lindley of San Francisco repre-
sent the Bunker Hill company and the
Sierra Nevada company, and Mr.. Fol-
som also represents Mr.. Bourne M.
s. Gum of Helena will appear for the
plaintiff Mr.. Folsom arrived In the
city Saturday evening. Mr.. Lindley
and Mr. Gum are expected to be here
today. S. A. Easton Of Kellogg, man.
ager for the Bunker Hill and Sierra
Nevada companies, is also In the city
to hear the arguments.
"The cases are to quiet title to ore
bodies in northern Idaho, the values
of which are estimated at hundreds
Of thousands of dollars. The issues in
all three cases are said to be identi-
cal. The evidence to be used in the
decision was heard by the state SUI
preme court in a similar suit
"At the time the Stewart company
filed the suits 1t also filed suit in
the state court against the Ontario
Mining company, which was leasing
the properties involved in these cases.
The cases against the Ontario COM
pany went to the state supreme court.
Evidence was introduced and the case
was decided against the Stewart COM
pany. BY stipulation the attorneys
agreed to allow the evidence intro
duced in the state court to stand in
the federal court The decision Of the
state court is in no way binding on
Judge Dietrich.

From Europe we hear that the sit
uation continues unsatisfactory over
there, in spite of the restriction Of
production that has been going on for
several months under the terms Of the
convention. The present convention
expires early next year. Negotiations
for its renewal have lately been going
on, and It is considered probable that
there will be a renewal. However. It
is not considered likely that there will
be any alteration Of conditions that
will permit q material advance in price
In the near future. Anyway, that Ia
the present view. If correct, we can
not, of course have any great advance
here. However. we may reasonably
expect before long rally to o figure

LABOR PROSECUTOR
RUNS FOR GOVERNOR
CAPT. FREpERicKs WHO CON.
WcTED MNAMARAs, pEFiEs
PRocREssivEs.

Having beaten both democrats and
progressives for the district attorney
ship Of Los Angeles. Captain J. D.
Fredericks. prosecutor Of the McNa-
maras. plans to repeat his PERFORM
ance in the state at large. says a Sac
ramento dispatch. While lacking for
NAL announcement, his candidacy for
the governorship on straight out"
republican ticket, is practically es-
tablfshed, and he is asking no support
except from his party.
Strong in Sosthsrn California.
With probabilities favoring a four
cornered race. Captain Fredericks no
doubt believes his personal prestige
will be sufficient to carry the day
against the other three-democrats
progressives and Organized Laborers.
There is no doubt that he is the
strongest republican in southern Cali
fornia. and the political forecasters
are pretty well agreed that the. next
governor will come from that part OF
the state. Furthermore, while there
seems no doubt that the vested in
terests" will support him to the limit,
union men hold nothing against him.
While local labor leaders said they
did not expect to support him. they
always found him absolutely fair and
impartial
Has Won BY Assressivensss.
The Los Angeles attorney, who has
served three terms in his present Of
fee, prides himself on the fact that
he Is a self made power in the land
and that he has built his reputation on
aggressiveness. When Thomas W.
woolwine attempted to win the dis
trict attorneyship with democratic
and progressive support, Fredericks
defeated him by such a large margin
that it was not considered necessary
to count the votes. Since that mem
orable victory Fredericks has attained
further fame by matching wits with
and defeating Clarence s. barrow IN
the Mcnamara trial. He also has ac-
complished several other notable le-
gal achievements in connection win
his official duties.
In spite of the fact that Governor
Johnson has made a great many
staunch enemies as strict bull moose
disciple, it is admitted that he Is prob
ably the darkest horse in the political
corral. Accredited forecasters predic!
that Johnson will succeed himself II
the state is as enthusiastically pro-
gressive as 1t was three years ago
Rumors have been passed from hand
to hand that Johnson does not intend
to run again, but there seems to be
no reason for such reports.

BIG CREEK CONTRACT.
To Extend Tunnel for Lsasers on the
Yankee Boy.

w. H. Stokes Of Osburn was In the
city Wednesday and left In the after
noon with a load Of giant powder and
other mining supplies for Big creek.
Mr.. Stokes and his son have taken
contract from the Big Creek Leasing
company to extend the crosscut tun-
mel to cut the Yankee Boy vein. Sew
eral hundred feet yet remain to be
run. The contractors will work two
shifts. In addition to driving the tun-
mel, It is probable Mr. Stokes will be
required to do considerable crosscut-
ting from the tunnel in order to thor
oughly prospect the ground.

Many Friends Throughout District.
Mrs. Heller was perhaps the most
widely known woman in the Occur
d'Alene district among the older resi-
dents. and practically all who knew
her were numbered among her friends.
She was generous heatred woman, a
fact that can be attested by hundreds
who received kindly assistance from
her Mrs. Heller was a marvel Of in
dustry and II she had been rewarded
in money for the work she did, she
could have retired in wealth many
years ago. Time did not lessen her
energy nor check her activity. nor did
1t bring her an adequate reward
Knowing this the text and brief re-
marks of the pastor must have been
peculiarly comforting to those she left
behind: Blessed are the dead who die
in the Lord. They shall rest
from their labors."
