According to Devine the wound was inflicted by a piece of a broken bottle left on a stump at 9-Mile by some one who evidently had been using t for a target. Devine who went up to 9-Mile yesterday to perform assessment work, was making his way around the camp after nightfall, when he tripped on a snag. In falling he reached out to grasp a stump in an effort to save him. self, with the result that hls hand encountered the jagged edge of the broken bottle, which could not be seen in the gloom. With blood streaming from the wound, Devine hun ried to the cabin occupied by Henry Hummel, who assisted the injured man in applying tourniquets to the arm. Devine then walked to 7-Mile, where a taxi was called to bring him to town. Following an exami- nation by Oren F. Hill, Devine was taken to Stewart, where the wound was dressed by Dr. Williams, who found six stitchs necessary.

BIG MISSOURI BONDS
 ANOTHER GROUP

That the results of the long period of development work carried on by the Big Missouri Ming Company are eminently satisfactory to the company, is again indicated by the bond ing of additional properties adjacent to the Big Missouri group. The latest increase in the Big Missouri holdings is the Day group, located along the westerly border of the Big Missouri and made up of four claims and a fraction. Details of the transaction are lacking but it is reliably stated that under the terms of the option agreement, between the com- pany and w. c. Cameron the owner, the group has been turned over to the Big Mis- souri people for a period of two years for what is said to be satisfactory consideration. Those acquainted with the Day group describe it as a highly promising property, with a series of attractive surface showings upon which some de- velopment work has been done. Although the property is un- doubtedly valuable from the mineral standpoint, the opin- ion prevails in local mining circles that the principal ob- ject of it's acquisition is to fa- cilitate development of the Big Missouri. Owing to the Day group lying considerably farther down the mountain side, it is pointed out that tun- nels driven from that property into the Big Missouri will pen citrate the ore at points several hundred feet lower than would be possible within the limits of the latter property.
 Whatever may be the signifi- canoe of the transaction from the latter standpoint, it leaves no room for doubt that the company is sufficiently satis- fled with the outlook for the Big Missouri to further in-, crease their holdings. This view is further sustained by the recent acquisition of the Unicorn group, following the discovery that one of the Big Missouri ore bodies penetrated that property. As a result tf the two deals the company has acquired within the past three months total of ten claims and four fractions, an area Of grund almost equal to that Of the Big Missouri.

 NEW DISCOVERY

E. H. Bartholf, veteran pros pector and mining man, who returned recently from the States to work on an import ant mineral discovery made by him last year near the lower end of Salmon Glacier, has finished setting up his camp and arrived in town several days ago to secure additional supplies before commencing active prospecting.
 The property known as the Silver Cliff, was located by MT. Bartholf last fall, and in- cludes a group of four claims, through which runs a vein of fine looking ore one to four feet in width. The vein shows native silver and grey copper and has been traced for more than TOO feet on the surface. Assays made last fall gave av- craze values in excess of $100 per ton, with picked samples running much higher.

 To augment inc gcnerative stor. nge capacity Of Lake Cushman, q dam was built in q canyon Of the Skykomish river, raising the water level of the lake lGo feet and run- ming it back nine miles. This stores AGO, GOO acre feet more water.
 The new unit will develop 50,. o0O horsepower at a cost of s4,5o0.- 900. A second unit 10 give 90,0o0 horsepower and 10 cost between $2,. b00,o o00 and s2,00O,000 is planned,
