The woman he married was the widow
of James Henry Smith, who was known
az silent" Smith.
She was Annie NJ. Armstrong, you
know, born to social position right off the
bat because she came from a distinguish
ed Maryland family.
Her first husband, we understand was
William Rhinelander Stewart, very rich,
oh yes, indeed, and way up in society.
She divorced HIM and then married
Smith.
Smiths father had died in Chicago
and left him S60O0O,OOO.
He was the richest bachelor in New
York society.
And just to think-isnt it perfectly
dreadful-all the while Mrs. Jean Harold
Edward ST. Cyr has been entertaining in
the most elaborate manner in London,
having for her guests the richest and
most noted of Americans, and the social
leaders of Europe, nobody has ever
guessed the truth, kicked over a table and
declared that he refused to eat soup in
concert with an ex-newsboy by the name
of John Thompson.

His name, the one he had on his richly

There Is a story out IN New York, now,
that his name really is John Thompson.
And (closer, while we whisper and
never mention that it came from us)
they Do say, not only that he came
from a poor Southern family right-heee
in these United States, but that at one
time he sold newspapers for iiyeli-

SOME REAL BORDER DAYS
SCENES.

j. ID. Evans was in town the first of
the week from the Tolo section, and
informed the Globe reporter of the fact
that the boys in that vicinity are now
practicing up for the annual fall buck
ing event which has been pulled off
for the past number of years at
Grangeville, and from indications will
be in shape to meet all comers. They
are making weekly events of broncho
busting and have assembled some of
the greatest twisters this country has
produced and tackle them without fear
or favor. Last Sunday the boys met
at the 70. S. Sweet ranch where Mr.
Burns resides, and five lively stepping
buckers were brought out from the
surrounding country. Among the bad
horses was the Lee horse used at Bor-
der Days, and which it is claimed has
never yet been successfully ridden, and
four other aspirants for the "outlaw"
class
Shorty" Heath, tackled the Lee
horse and rode him through the first
session, but failed to quit the job while
his star was in the ascent, instead
urged him on with the "steel' to
greater exertion, which resulted in
Shorty" taking an aeriel fight that
was pronounced some going.
Walter and Manford Cash also got
in the game, the latter with varying
success, making one ride and getting
one fall. The former was decided win
ner of first place at the event-but
there are more to follow.

IN THE TEN MILE MINES.
A. McRea, Of Wonder Mine, Tells OF
DEVELOPMENTS In Camp.

Spokane, July 2S.-A. McRea, of
Portland, one of the directors of the
Wonder Gold Mining company, which
owns properties in the Ten Mile dis
trict of central Idaho, is at the Airing
ton hotel. The company will soon have
Eureka mill installed and expects to
mill from 30 to 80 tons a day of the
free milling ore which 1t Is believed
will net at least $40 ton and which
will make daily profit of from 5000
to $1,000.
Mr.. McRea, however, declined to dis
cuss the probable profits, saying that
he will wait until the mill is actually
in operation, and not speculate in ad-
vance on its possibilities.
This district has been an import
ant gold section Of the United States
many millions having been taken from
the properties during the last fifty
years." said Mr.. McRea today, "and
1t is continuing to produce and will
continue to do so for many years, al
though mining is no longer the simple
problem there that it was in early
days.
There are IL claims owned by the
Wonder corporation, of which b. II.
Pennington of Toppenish Wash, is
president. The property is in the
heart of the Ten Mile district, In Ida
h0 county, 35 miles from Sites.
1--WE are installing a Eureka mill
made by Spokane people. 1t is guar
anteed to have a daily capacity of
from 90 to go tons In "a hours We
viii be satisfied if it handles 80 or 40
tons of our high grade ore. It cost us
$17O0 in Spokane, and only requires
four horse power. We will use gaso-
line
about 100 feet of tunnel work has
been done ON the Wonder. We have
two tunnels each 700 feet long, and a
1OO-foot raise connects them. The
lower one gives us depth of 300 feet.
The tunnels are run in ON the ledge,
which is four feet wide, solid ore,
that averages $2S.64 to the ton. This
is the ore we are taking out and that
will be treated by the new mill. 1t
will only cost us 81 ton to mine and
mill 1t, according to G. w. Riddel,
Portland mining engineer.
"The ledge has been traced three
quarters of a mile and is a true fis-
sure vein in porphry quartzite for
nation. Both our tunnels cut a cross
ledge which in the upper tunnel shows
width of seven feet and in the lower
tunnel 12 feet. This cross ledge is In
$50 feet in the upper tunnel and 300
feet in the lower tunnel and gives as
says of So. 25 ton.
Our machinery is all on the ground
and the men say it will be installed
and in operation in 10 days. The com
pany is out of debt and has no stock

BuckhOrn Produces Bricks.
Across the Buckhorn creek Is the
Buckhorn mine, quarter of a mile
south of the Wonder. 1t has Chilean
mill that handles five or six tons In
"a hours and is run by steam power.
G. E. Samples, one of the owners, and
Mrs. Samples are in Spokane. He
brought out 5000 gold brick as the
result of short run on the Buckhorn
About six weeks ago they sent out q
gold brick worth S1400. The Buck
horn Is considering the installation OF
q larger mill
