MINING NOTES

The Granite-Poorman mine near
Nelson, B. c., later called the Hard
scrabble, has finally been organized
as the Kootenay Gold Exploration,
with H. I. Wilson of Butte as presi.
dent A. G. Larson, Spokane, vice pres.
ident; John Maginnis, Butte, treas.
urer; R. A. Carnochan, Spokane, sec
rotary.
Despite the delays and shutdowns
incident to breaking in new machinery
and new crew of mill men, 10 car
loads of ore and concentrates have
been shipped from the Hypotheek
mine, at Kingston, Idaho, this month
and two more cars are being loaded
one each of crude ore and concen.
trates, Of which one should be com.
pleted in time to figure in this months
output.
A deal was closed last week where
by the Equator Mining company, which
company owns the Buck Horn group
of mining claims at Golden, Idaho, dis.
posed Of their holdings for 100000 to
Seattle capitalists. This deal has been
pending for some time. The Buck
Horn group is located at Golden, Idaho
in the Ten Mile district. There is a
small mill on the property which has
been handling five or six tons of ore a
day with good returns, only the free
gold values being saved.
No Choice Yet.
Indications are that the choice of
the mine experiment station to be
located in the Pacific northwest will
be delayed. Secretary Lane desires
to make this selection himself, but
when Director Manning of the bureau
of mines returns next week, after his
investigation in the west, with his
report and recommendations, the Sec
rotary will be at Portsmouth, sitting
as a member of the Mexican commits.

Zepa Raid ENGLAND.

London.-Thirteen Zeppelin air
ships took part in the raid over the
eastern counties Sunday night in the
most formidable attack by air ever
made on England. Only three of the
Zeppelins were able to approach the
outskirts of London. One was shot
down and the other two were driven
off by aircraft guns and aeroplanes.
Reports regarding the number Of cas-
ualties said the damage caused by
the great number of bombs dropped
had not been completed, but 1t was
stated that the damage and loss Of
life were not heavy considering the
number of ships engaged"

JUDGE MUDDY HAS
A NARROW ESCAPE

Judge William Huddv, of Hama
lei, had narrow escape from
death in flood which swept down
through the Moloaa region last
Wednesday afternoon,
His horse and brake were swept
from the road by surSine waters,
and onlv by a quick scramble to
higher ground was the Judge able
to save his own life.
The flood was caused by extreme
ly heavy rains against the hills
during the day, the water accumu-
lating aud driving down through
the valley, or gulch. known as
Moloaa with tremendous force.
Judge Huddv has a place in Mo-
loaa and was OH his way to it when
struck by the flood.
Horse and brake were washed
from the road. Had the animal
been loose he would probably have
escaped, but being cntangled with
harness and debris was carried to
his doom. Judge Huddy saw the
impending danger in time to save
himself.
A food of the same kind. and
similar cause, swept over the small
canefeld and road below the resi-.
deuce of Francis Gay. Makaweli,
some days ago, but luckily there
was no one on the road at that
point at the time. The Young cane
was swept from the field and left
in withered piles against the road
way. while the road itself was
washed to bedrock.

out is to give the people of Lihue
a chance to see the companies in

There was some idea of also hav-
ing battalion movements at that
time, but the conclusion was reach
ed finally that that would be shov-
ing matters little rapidly.
Company A will be commanded
by Captain Maser, with Lieuten-
ants Garden and Hopper; Com

BIDS FOR WHARF
ARE CALLED FOR

Arrangements have been made
whereby the wharf at Waimea will
be completed without extraordi-
nary delay. The government has
called for tenders 20 be submitted
bv March lst. as soon as possible
after which the contract will be let
and actual work will begin.
This new move created some
little surprise, in view of the con-
demnation suit recentlv Instituted
by the government, which will not
come on for hearing until the July
court term. It is understood, how
ever. that work will begin with
the consent and approval Of all of
the parties interested in the land
to be affected.
Something like 5000 will be
put into the new wharf property.
The improvement was provided
for by the last legislature. the
item being placed in the loan bill.
Completion of tn undertaking
became a question of finances, and
Kauai parties agreed to take the
amount of bonds necessary to put
the new wharf through.

Thursday evening in honor OF
Mr.. Morton, of Australia, who has
been visiting Mr.. Hart, at Maka-
we'll. Many of the young people be-
tween Mana and Koloa were pres
ent.
For the occasion "Hoea" was
prettily adorned, and vari-colored
oriental lanterns lent striking pic
turesquesness to the scene. Be-
hind a palm-bower an Hawaiian
orchestra, developed from the
PLAYERS on the Knudsen ranch,
supplied delightful music.
After an informal reception
during which all present met the
guest of honor, dancing began and
was kept up to a late hour.
Mr.. Morton is spending a shor;
time only on Kauai. He is leav-
ing shortly for England where he
expects to join the colors and pro-
ceed to scenes of battle, on the
Continent.
