RESUME OF MINING OPERATIONS
IN THE DISTRICT FOR PAST week

month was SoU,Sl4.oo ana the Operdt-
ing expenses including taxes, $18,267
aving a net income of $32, ,648.35
Final settlement on ore shipped in
previous months amounted to about
$1,000 making total income for No
vember about $4,000. Substracting
interets on funded debt, mine redemp-
ton, depreciation of buildings, ma
chinery, ETC., amounting to $6,304.00,
makes the approximate earnings of
the rhine for the month of November
over $4,000 Mr. Orem was careful
to explain that this $4,000 will be
greater or less depending upon wheth.

final settlements are made
Super 'ntendent Monahan reports
that the drill hole 76 feet south of the
Casting Copper shaft hit the ore at d
depth of "a feet and continued in ore
p feet, when it entered white lime
This ore averag 5.6per cent copper.
The hole is being continued with the
expectation of finding more ore under
the lime.
Ambrose-Plummer Property-Har-
ry Stetson, who is operating on this
property, which lies south of Mickey
Pass, has opened up very fine body
of ore. He has been stacking up this
ore and expects to make shipment in
a few days The vein has been traced
for some 200 feet on the surface and
opened up along its trend in many
places. 1t is now so well defined by
these surface openings that Mr.. Stet-
son will put number of men to work
and begin shipping regularly in the
near future 1t seems that wherever
intelligent work has been pursued the
ground is making good AS depth is
attained on this property the better it

These converters are of capacity of

so they will be able to handle the pro-
duct of the smelter for some time to
come. From now on copper bars will
be shipped from the smelter instead Of

new WRINKLE in
CO. SPLIT WAR
Biting for Mandan Demurrers tt
Complaint Of Beaver and
Grant Co. Boosters.

A demurrer was filed yesterday by
States Attorney H. R. Biting of Man
dan, on Attorneys Miller and Zuger
and Attorneys Hanley and Sullivan,
who represent the people who have
brought election contests in the di-
vision of Beaver and Grant counties.
Attorney Biting declared yester-
day that the county has taken
advantage of the point OF law to de.
mur against the complaints instead
of filing an answer. He assets that
there is a question as to whether the
complaint contains enough evidence
to warrant q court trial. None of the
allegations of irregularities in the vot-
ing or handling Of votes by election
officials are declared to be specific
enough to give cause for complaint.
1t is expected that hearing on
the demurrer will be held before
Judge s. H. Nuchols shortly after the
first of the year.
The fact that parties living north
of Glen Ullin and in that vicinity
will join with Mandan in fighting
the contest has added an interesting
lphase to the legal fight which is due.
They have retained Attorneys New
ton, Dullam & Young of Bismarck to
assist the states attorney.

TELLS SUPREME CoURA
HIS CLIENT HAS BEEN
TWICE IN JEOPARDY.

Upon Outcome of This Plea Will

tence.

F. H. Register, attorney for E. s.
Barnes, yesterday applied to Chief
Justice Spalding of the supreme court

of his client on the ground that
Barnes had been twice placed in jeo-
pardy. Tho hearing on the petition

1t will be recalled that Immediately
after Deputy Sheriff Barnes made the
attack upon Chris Martinison he
pleaded guilty to a charge of assault
and battery on MartinisOn and was
fined nominal sum. He was later
arrested upon more serious charge.
On this latter Barnes was tried, the
jury bringing in, atyerdict. a of assault
and battery. When the prisoner was
presented for sentence last Thursday
his attorney raised the point that
Barnes had been previously placed in
jeopardy and therefore moved to sus.
pend sentence. The motion was de-
MED and Barnes was sentenced to pay
fine of $50 and serve ten days in

Several Aeroplane Raids

English Try Unsuccessful Attack German Port
tors Drop ksbs in Russian Poland Killing Eight

Berlin, Dec 26-Eight British
ships and hydro-aeroplanes, attempt
ed a raid on an unnamed German
harbor, according to an admiralty
statement issued tonight, which says:
"On December 25, eight British
ships made a dash into a German
bay. The hydro-aeroplanes conveyed
by them made an advance against
the mouths of the German rivers and
dropped bombs, intended for ships ly-
ing at anchor and a gas tank near
Cushaven No damage resulted.
AeropIanes Fired At.
The hydro-aeroplanes were fired at
and withdrew in a westerly direction
German airships and aeroplanes rec
onn0itred against the British forces
and succeeded in hitting with bombs
two British destroyers and one other
vessel of the convoy. On the latter
fire broke out. Fog prevented Il cou-
tinuatio1 of the fighting.
Announcement by the German ad-
miralty of the attempt of British war
ships against the German coast was
the first intimation Of what appears
to be a reply to the recent attack by
the German cruisers against the cas-.
British coast. From the reference to
Cuxhaven it would seem that the Ger
man rivers indicated were the Elbe
and Weser CuXhaven is a fortified
seaport of Germany, 5S miles west and
northwest of Hamburg. It is at the
mouth of the 'Elbe. The approximate

EXPFNSEOF R.R. CONN

& r, sl y 3 r t.- I ,
There are number OF departments
at the capitol which are pretty good
paying propositions because Of the
fees received. While in some cases
these fees do not cover the expense
of the office, and are not even credit
ed to the expense account of the Of
flee, they help out the general funG
very nicely. For instance, while the
expense of the board of railroad COM
missioners during the past two years
was abo,.t $4,000, there were fees
amounting to over $4,000 paid to the
state treasurer on account of elevator
licenses issued by the commission.
In addition to this there we're fees
for other licenses, which, had they
been credited to the expense account
of the commission, would have made
that office nearly self-supporting.
