Chicago Boston and KEENAN,.
Asked regarding plans for beginning
work on the Chicago Boston, the con-
troll of which he has under option, Mr..
Percival said he was unable to make
a definite announcement, but that it
was certain that work would begin
early in the spring. Neither could
he make a definite announcement re-
garding the KEENAN, Mining company
which he also holds under option. This
property is located on Pony gulch and
small force has been engaged in de-
veloping the tungsten deposit all win
ter. 1t is regarded probable that
more extensive operations will be I'M
dertaken in the spring, when several
other veins, gold, lead and zinc, will
receive attention.

AM BERGRIS.
Crosscut Being Run From Hunminq-
bird Tunnel of Hercules.

1t appears from information receiv-
ed this week that when work was sus-
pended on the Ambergris several
months ago, it was merely for the pur
pose of transferring operations from
NO. tunnel of the Hercules to the
Hummingbird tunnel level Official
information regarding mining opera
lions conducted by the Days is of
course never expected, but the Miner
learned from an apparently reliable
source that a crosscut is now being
run on the Hummingtbird level, which
Is the working tunnel of the Hercules
to the Ambergris vein. From this it
Is assumed that the showing develop
ed on the No. level was satisfactory
and justifles driving a long crosscut
to open the Ambergris vein several
hundred feet deeper.

WESTERN UNION.
Delinquent Stock Sale Attracts Many
Eager Bidders.

Unusual interest was manifested
in the delinquent stock sale of the
Western Union Mining company last
Saturday in the lobby of the court
house. The sale was conducted by
Ben f, Collins, secretary treasurer of
the company, of Spokane, assisted by
j. Il. Burbank, of Cheney, one Of the
directors. The entire delinquent list
found eager bidders, the stock bring
Ing from " cents to 51a cents The
active interest in the sale was due
to recent development Of the prop
erty, a fine shoot of high grade lead
silver ore having been recently ex-
posed which appears to be the fore
runner of large ore body. A sig
n!ficant feature of the sale was the
presence OF men who are doing the
work on the property under contract.
They were heavy buyers and were the
highest bidders for the stock. The
Western Union is about a mile and
a half northwest of Wallace.

500 REWARD
For Return of Push Car Probably
Stolen by BootIegeers.

County authorities have been mott
ned by Wesley Everett, manager of
the Amazon-Dixie Mining company
at Sildix, Mont, that a push car own
ed by the company has been stolen
and that he has every reason to be-
ljeved that it is being used to trans
port liquor from Montana into this
county. The car was taken once be-
fore, several months ago, and was fin
ally located concealed near the rail-
road on this side of the summit. Mr..
Everett says he knows who took it the
first time and that he has a strong
suspicion that the same party has the
car now. Mr.. Everett offers a reward
of 500 for the return of the car and

COPPER, LEAD AND ZINC.

Review of metal market by the En-
gineerlng and Mining Journal for tn,
week ending February II:
Copper.
Beginning with February all OF
the big producers came into the mar.
ket and made sales if they could. In
quiry from buyers was not very gen
eral, however, and nothing but small
quantities were requested. Business
|of the week was therefore mainly in
lots of 100000 to 100000 pounds, but
even for those there was sharp COM
petition. There were a few transae-
tons in large lots, which were taken
by interests that were willing to make
sharp cuts, after which the whole mar
ket would fall to the new level. On
February such business was done
at Is cents, while on February II two
lois aggregating 2h million pounds
were done at II cents. The total busi-
ness of the week was about GU mill
lion pounds.
Our direct advices from Europe are
TO the effect that France has a stock
Oh loo,ooO tons of virgin copper. This
IS the largest estimate that we have
seen. Other private advices put the
figure at $4,000 tons. Anyhow, there
s no doubt that France has a large
stock of copper.

'ort association were due to arrive in

Contract Completed Leaving a Good
Showing in the Face.

Contractors who have been at work
on the Oreano completed their work
last night. 1t is stated that the show
ing disclosed by the last round is the
best that has been found. They had
been following fissure that is be-
lieved now to be an offshoot from
the main vein. The last round broke
into what appears to be the vein
sought, Its course and position CORE
spending to the vein in the Sherman
which is believed to be the same. The
Sherman has developed quite an ex-
tensive ore shoot on the same level
and it is possible that the Oreano will
let another contract In the hope Of
being equally successful in finding ore.

PAINT AND MOP INTRODUCED
FOUR SAWS FOUND IN
CONCEALMENT.

1t Is now universally conceded that
a serious mistake was made in plac-
ing the jail in the basement Of the
court house, but that cannot be urged
as justification for the condition in
which the Jail was found when its
custody was turned over to Sheriff j.
H. Scott, Even those who are so I'M
fortunate as to be confined behind
iron bars are entitled to humane
treatment, which includes clean and
sanitary quarters. This is necessary,
not alone for the benefit of the pris-
oners, but as a measure of health
protection to all who occupy county
offices in the court house. Upon TAX
ing personal charge of the JAIL c. M.

and found a general house cleaning

OF the cage, which Is solid steel, liter

pressing contempt for all law and
government. These were obliterated
by coat of paint, which was also
extended to all parts of the cages, in
side and out He found the cells
without mattresses, the prisoners
sleeping on iron cots with nothing be-
tween them but blanket, much the
worst for wear, with another of the
same kind for cover Mr.. Johnson has
provided, with the approval of the
county commissioners, mattresses for
the cots and clean blankets Under
his direction the prisoners mop the
floor in the eating compartment every
day and the entire jail floor twice

Found Concealed Hacksaws.
In view of the fact that no less than
three Jail deliveries have been accom-
plished by saving the outer bars with
hacksaws, it would have been expect
ed that unusual precautions would
have been taken to prevent the SNUG
Cling of these tools into the Jail. How
ever, Mr.. Johnson. upon making
close search, found four hacksaws
about the Jail. Another
menace which he detected at once was
electric lights suspended in each cell, !
with much extra cord, This could be
used to bind the jailer through the |
action of desperate prison
ers. The electric cords are now in
closed in gas pipe across the top of |
