Company Will Resume Operations
Upon Expiration of Lease.
At a meeting of the directors of the
Intermountain Copper Mining COM
pany in Spokane last week it was de-
cided to undertake further develop
ment of the property upon the expir
alton of the lease on March Is. The
immediate work to be undertaken
will be the extension Of No. 1 tunnel,
which will be done under contract A.
L. Nicholson a director Of this city,
was authorized to invite bids to drive
100 feet and further contracts may De
let If found desirable. The tunnel has
disclosed a promising vein which may
be developed to a depth Of probably
300 feet. An assessment Of 8 mills
was levied to pay operating expenses
and to clear up a debt of $4,000. 1t is
estimated that this assessment will
bring $4,000 into the treasury. The di-
rectors of the Intermountain are Jas.
F. Callahan and A. L. Nicholson, of
Wallace; w. C. Griffith, r. J. McIn-
tosh and F. c. Daeufer, of Spokane.

The Labor Situation
a Demand for Men

The advance of so cents per day
in wages, making the standard
scale for underground men $5.75
per day. has had a beneficial eff
feet in attracting men to the
Occur d'Alene district. Yesterday
some Of the companies reported a
full complement of men. while
others were still short. The sit
uation, however, showed much i'm
provement as compared with that
before the advance in wages was
made. The chief difficulty is to
get machine men, but the last
few days has showed a larger per
centage of this class Of men
among those engaged through the
employment Office than at any
time since the Office was opened
owing to the tendency of employees
to move from place to place, the
fact that some mines have enough
men now does not imply that their
labor troubles are ended by any
means In fact, the mine that is
fun today may be short of men
tomorrow. On this account, and
the fact that several of the large
mines are still short of men, there
is always a demand for good men
in this district. The raising of the
scale to the same as that paid in
Butte is also operating to the ad-
vantage Of the Occur d'Alene dis
trict, as working conditions here
are generally regarded as better
than in the big copper camp.

n. E. Owens Secures Control of Ward
ner Company.
H. E. Owens, who is understood to
have been acting for the Wardner
Leasing company with which he is
connected, has purchased control of
the Slavonian Mining company. which
owns a group Of claims east of the
town Of Wardner and joining the old
Last Chance millsite, now owned by
the Bunker Hill. Stock in the com
pany amounting to a majority was
purchased by Mr. owens from Tom
Kazanezara, r. V. Kajovich, George
Bietich and G. W. Dougherty, each
of whom. however, retaining consid-
cradle stock in the company. Pay
ment is to be made on or before May
1, but the price has not been made
public. The Slavonian ground is de-
veloped by a erosscut 900 feet in
length and it is estimated that 300
feet further will reach the vein. It
is understood that the Wardner Leas
ing company will explore Slovenian
ground from the 2OO-fot shaft which
has recently been unwatered and in
which work is now going on.

GOOD LEAD AND COPPER
VALUES.

1t is probable that the Wonderful
Mining company will soon resume
operations. The company owns three
PATENTED claims and six unpatented
in the St Joe district, south of Stew
ems Peak, and west of the Bullion
Copper Queen, presumably having
the same vein that has now been de-
yeloped with such satisfactory re-
suits on the Bullion. The wonderful

approximately 200 feet below No. 1,
and in both of which there are most
promising showings of ore. Origin

dence the full width of the drift,
which IS being driven easterly and is
gaining depth rapidly.
Power for Compressor.
Consideration is now being given
to beginning work on the Wonderful
by some of the larger stockholders
who represent control. According to
present plans. it is proposed to take
in a compressor for which there is
said to be ample water power avail
able and which could be utilized
without great expense. It is expect
ed that a meeting of the directors
will be held at an early date, when
this and other matters regarding the
future of the company will receive
action. DR.. w. H. Holden, Of Spo-

and a director Other di-
rectors are John Taylor OF Occur

also a director. The interest he held
is now represented by his son, A. r /

been in this district since the war, /
but if work begins on the Wonderful /
he will doubtless return and give his
attention to the work.

AMERICAN COMMANDER.
Report That Work Will Begin Within
Few Weeks.

The cutting of new vein carrying
considerable ore on the American
Commander last fall revived interest
this property and recent reports
from parties connected with the COM
pany indicate that work will be re-
sumed within the next 60 days. This
vein was cut in driving a crosscut by
the West Hunter company from the
American Commander tunnel south
into the West Hunter ground. The
shown is a most promising one and
it is understood that when work starts
it will be on this ore, following it
easterly.
Work in the crosscut is being push
ed by the West Hunter company and
an important strike is expected when
the vein is reached. The properties
are located on Mill creek. about
mile from Mullan.

The apartment Nelson is occupying
IS directly above that of Miss Lutun
The police theory is that Nelson let
himself into the apartment by swing
ing down from his window, and that
Miss Lutan, returning unexpectedly,
found him ransacklng her rooms.
The crime was discovered by James
Wick, superintendent of the apart
ment house, who was In the elevator
when he heard screams followed by L
shot. Getting out of the elevator to
investigate he found Nelson at the
door of the Lutan apartment.
Nelson glibly explained that he had
heard Il shot and was trying To see
where it had come from. Mr.. Weeks
suspicious were aroused by his man
ner, and he made Nelson come with
him into the apartment and kept him
there until the arrival of the police.
Little is known ut the Grunddeck
about young Nelson, and he stubborn
ly refuses To make any statement
about himself. He was employed only
few days ago by Rufus CASTOR ~
caretaker for his apartment. As Mr..
Castor Is absent from the city it can
not be learned how he happened to
give Nelson employment. The police
believe he may have obtained the pO-
Sition through false references in or
der TO gain an opportunity to loot the
I al stf.fT I'm -.
Superintendent Wick had aScer-
taiued that Nelson was once employed
by n shipping firm In the Wall street
district but had been discreditatly
discharged. His former employer con-
tirmed this, but would say nothing
about Nelson beyond stating that he
had been discharged for cause.
Although Nelson was not over well
supplied with money he had been seen
recently ordering elaborate meals in
some of the most expensive restau-
rants. Miss Nellie Kelly, the telephone
girl at the Granddeck, reported that
only the night before Nelson had taken
her 10 dinner, ordering champagne AMI
hiring taxicabs. and had tried to pump
her about the tenants in the building
The one fact that stuck out in the
whole article that seemed of vast i'm
pOrtance to me was the fact that Wick
had informed the police that l had
been discreditably discharged from my
last place of employment. How did
he know that? Certainly l had not
told him. l had told no one of the
occurrence except Barbara Bradford.
and | was sure she had not revealed
ii to anyone.
| 1t was indUbitable proof to me that
! Wick, or someone with whom he was
/ cOnniving had been having me shad-
owed. Even my great-uncle Rufus
did not know where my place of EN-
ployment was. Evidently the plot t.
| discredit me had begun the day l ar
/ rived at the Granddeck. l had been
discharged on account of some mystic
rious note my employer had received
began now TO believe that Wick
must have had me followed to my
place of business and 10 have sent
that note for the express purpose OF
bringing about my discharge. Bu'
why? That was the puzzle.

had not observed the stain on my
clothing until the detectives discov-
cred ii. My explanation of how it had
gotten there was the true one, yet I
could readily realize that it might
sound fishy to others.
On the face of it the tragedy in
the Granddeck looked like an inside
job. The revolver, with one bullet
missing. was the strongest sort of evil
dence that I was the murderer. Yet
never had seen the weapon before
and could not imagine who could have
placed ii there. There was only one
explanation possible. 1t had been pur-
posely planted there with the definite
object of throwing suspicion on me.
The one persOn-the only person
whom I knew TO have been in my
rooms after the murder was committed
was Claire Bradford. Could she have
done it? I remembered that Barbara
had showed me a revolver in her pos
session. I wondered If this could be
the same weapon. l did not think ii
possible that Claire herself could have
used it. I could imagine no motive
why Claire Bradford would want to
kill Miss Lutan. yet it must have been
she who had hidden the revolver in my
dresser. What had been her motive?
How had she got possession of the re-
volver after the murder?
Come what may, l had no intention
of telling any one-not even German
of Claire's second visit to my apart
ment. For Barbara's sake | made up
my mind I would keep my lips closed
about that incident, even if l had TO
stay in prison indefinitely. At the po-
lice station when the detectives had
