EMILY EDITH MINE «u mm wm .lubes in piorEiTi ii a shifting BA8JS—0RB TO COMB mm at NUMBER 4 At tbe .nd ol this monty another permanent shipping nine wljl be added to Silverton's list of shippers. Thi. time it is th. Emily Edith group, fcbat ia to take its place on the already large list, as a producer and its place trill rank away up on the honor roll. Tho Emily Edith property that ..some jiix months ago was known mewl? as a remarkably floe prospect, has under Uie efficient management of E Remmelmeyar been developed into a property with sutficent ore in tight to Justify us In calling it a mine that bas ore to ship, will ship and continue shipping. The property waa acquired by purchase by the present owners late last winter and developement commenced January 10th. Up to tbe present time Ah. present owners have don. over 700 fast jjf underground developement oh it, ojnsiating of tunnels, cross-cuts and win tee. Suitable buildings erected including btftk bouses, office, ore houses eto, permanent tracks snd t#rn-tsbles pot in, old work re- timbered and in fact every thing connected witli tbe mi ne put into good shape. Tli. upper or No 1, tunnel ia driven straight into the lii-U and follows the ledge keeping along the hanging wall, thc ledge being so large that it necessitates cross-cuts being driven at .intervals to ascertain the amount of ore, width ol vein and general characteristic** xii the lode, so as to enable the management to intelligently work tbe property. The first or. ahnt. .ucoiiutcrcd in this tunnel starts practically at its mouth and extends along it the first 160 feet. At a distance in of 80 feet a wins, has been m__ V> feet, Mill keeping next to the hanging wall, and about three feet ol good oreUmpmsti, a large paxtof Which ia dean sapping ore and the balance, although /*eally too goad to be called concentrating ore, la clssssd as such. Another winse S3 feet deep haa been eouk abont 180 feet in and is equally as {mod a showing. Tbere are three crosscuts between this point and the face ot the tunnel, driven to the footwall and showing Um ledge to be bom 90 to •lu leet wide. The last of these cross- ,cuta driven to find the footwall is at a point over 250 feet in and has now s length of 30 feet and still driving. In this crosscut is exposed one ot the largest bodies of or. yet discovered in tlie !',«.- wine. Tb. whole crosscut is in the finest .Vind ol concentrating ore and streaks' varying Irom two inches to a foot of clean /shipping ore are encountered every few •feet, look whero you will sides, roof, floor or face tlie mineral is shown up, as the miner Mid "she is a Jewler's simp'*. In this cross-cot there wag struck streaks of dean ore tliat In copnection with the galena carried a huge quantity of yellow or sulphide of copper and ataays from Samples ot Ibis ore gave returns of 31.10 per cent upper aad 3S0 ounces of silver per ton. They have now in the ore Jionse sorted surf sacked, •besides considerable that hoe pot been /sorted yet, som. twenty tons, which is lieing added to daily. On theij* concentrating dump are about 400 tons, extremely rich in mineral, and in most countries would be considered fit to ship ss It is without concentration. Tbe Emily Bdith ore bftsalweya been noted for its richness running ss It does from 180 to 600 ounce, in silver and Irom 36 to 76 per oent lead. When it is taken into consideration that the ore taken out bas been while doing developement work only and tbat no sloping bas vet l»een done it cap easily be seen tbat tbe property is now i|) shape to produce snd ship considerable ore. Tbe lower or No S. t.nnel (s considerably further down tbe hill and will tap the ore bodies deep. This tupnel is now in JOOfe<-t and it is expected to strike the first shute of ore exposed, In tb. upper tunnel in a short distance further. Tbe strike or trend of tbe vein is North spd South and dlpa Eaat with a pitch of about fiO per (,ent. Th. company hss just completed a tot. road to connect with the Alpha r-ul and shipments qf ore will cornmenpe at once. If the property continues fo hold Its own, if is the intention of the management to put in a tramwsy from tlio mine to |be Silverton waggon road at a point not exceeding a mile from town. At that point will be situstod ths buildings, works .to of the compsny.

Tbere are over 12,000 Ions of ore on band at tbe Trail Smelter, and the big works are in ahape to .tart almost any day. No ore is to be shipped from the Wakefield before tbe arrival ot the snow. Heavy and continuous shipments will then commence. While cross-cuttiflje in the No. 3 level on tbe Maid of Erin claim, which lie- longs to the Payne Co, a strike of six-feet of clean ore waa made.

Last week in thc Spokane land office a decision was rendered, which settled an important question regarding settlement on the townsite of Repubflc. The decision in effect is that the locations of the Testae anjjLQalaware ckims aie jtrue ajji*^ eral claims, thus destroying ihe contention of the .contes-int- that. tlie damns are made for Ine purpose of towniste purposes rather than for legitimate mining. The decision, while not large in its direct effects, is far reaching indirectly, for this was regarded as a test case.on w l*i«li a number of other cases hang. 'Ever since the location of the Republic and the filing of a number of mineral locations, protests and contests have been piling up in the local hind office, alleging that many claims were filed for towniste purposes,' the land then filed on being more valuable for mineral purposes than for town- site pui-pos**). After hearing tbe case the local land' office officials granted a motion to dismiss on Uie ground that the contestants did not show that the land in question.was not a mineral claim and the contestants could obtain title to under the mineral laws. The contention that the surface showings were meagre wns not. upheld for the experience of the camp is that depth must be attained to secure high values.

" The reason it is necessary to be well coveted while sdeepiijg is that when the body lies down it is the intention of na-, ture that it. should rest, and the heart especially should be relieved o{ its regular work temporarily. So that organ makes 10 strokes a minute lessPthan when the body is in an upright posture. This means COO strokes in 00 inniutes. Therefore, in the eight hours that a man usually spends in taking his night'sjcest, the,, heart is saved nearly 5000 strokes. As it piunps six ounces of blood with each stroke, it lifts 30,000. ounces less of blood in. this night's session than it would during the day, when a man is usually in un uptjght •feSition.

Carried by the Bar It Gives Wrong Meaning;. Ihe To Set the Thames on Fire—The following has been suggested ss the origin of the phrase: In Yorkshire a sieve employed in sifting flour at a mill is called "temsc," and tlie combustion has been known to ensue, through the hard nnd rapid friction of the iron rim of the tomse against the rim of the flour barrel—a very unusual result, and only brought about by a great deal of work. Therefore, the expression as il now stands has come to mean effecting something unusual, as the outcome generally of hard work. Bread, it may be added, made of finely sifted flour used to be called temsebread, much in the same way as the cloth known as tammy, used ance of an impossibility, whereas the for- for ladies' shoes, etc., derived it- name from a corruption of "tamis," or "temsc,'' U'l-ause originally used as a material ia tha construction of the teniae or sieve^ The fact, however, that the French and Turks also possess somewhat similar met'* aphorical expressions in connection wilh theirjeading rivers, the fieine and the IXin_ne, may point to another origin of the phrase. The interpretaUon then in. vol ved, however, would be thc perform^ merBtplanation is far more in harmony with*Wie generally received meaning, Unit of "doing something astonishing." .A* Inspector of Ordnance.

Little Ili-slstuin'i* Kipeeteil. Very lftfle resi.-ttan6e is"expected to the invasion of Puerto Rico. Thc war office has full information as to the condition and forces of the Spaniards in San Juan, and believes they will not long be able to resist the American attack. Under the fire of Admiral Sampson's guns the army will affect a landing somewhere in the vicinity of San Juan. While the army attacks from the reur, the navy will shell San Juan from the ocean. Under Uie combined fire it is not expected t1i-.it the town will hold out long. Using San Juan as a base, the army will com mence the invasion of Puerto Rica Hero our troops will only have the Spaniards to contend with, and not thc yellow fever. Investigation with respect to the climatic conditions at Skui Juan has convinced the ofbcisls that there would be practically no danger to our troops -Wiere from yellow fever, which an nually prevails in wiirly all parts of Cuba, , The city of San Junn, which is built on high ground, is said to be exceptional ly olean for a Spanish town. The water is said to bo good, and, all things considered, it is not believed that the present nr rangeinerit for the invasion of the islnnd will bc interfered'With. Prenh Troops to lie Sent. Tlie army for the invasion of Puerto Rico will be almost entirely composed of fresh troops from tin: United suites. This means A radical change of policy on the part of the army, for it wus .expected that the movement against Spain's smaller possessions in the. West Indios would be made by regiments now engaged- in.the Santiago campaign. The government relied on the expected seasoned character of tihe Santiago troops, and it could not bo foreseen that the health of, the men would become so impaired in tho short campaign in south- sastern Cuba as to render them unfit for duty in Puerto Rico. It is the present intention of the war department to send quo army corps from t*h*fe Florida const to participate in the Puerto' Rk-an eiim paign and.to maintain tho Fifth corps un dc*r General Shafter in Santiago province for the present. At least two regiments of iiiiuiunes will ■fee sent to garrison the aity of Santiago. The president and secretary of war are disinclined to use more men than absolutely necessary from Santiago in the Puerto Rico campaign, on account of the danger of spreading yellow fever. Wilson to Head. First Division. Major General J,. 11. Wilson'has already been instructed to prepare for the Puerto Rico expedition at once. He is now at Charleston, S.

Washington, July 10.—The arms surrendered by the Spaniards'nt Santiago to (ieneral Shafter will be kept by the United Suites government. Uiis conclusion reached late this evening by the president nnd Secrctnry Alger, was made public by the bitter ns he left his office Uniight for his home. "All those who have arms will turn them over to the government. This i* final." These wero the secretary's words when asked for information. "And," lie ndded, in response to further inquiry nnd to clenrniiy doubt thnt might exist on tho subject, "the rifles will not bc returned to S|iain." This decision no doubt has already been coniiniinicnted to General Shafter. Up to the time when Secretary Alger's emphatic statement disposed of ull doubt on the uiHtter it wo- thought consideration might be given to the appeal of General Toral thnt his men might be allowed to take their anus. In fact, it was said by a high department official that the president would await the recommendation of tho United States commissioners U> the surrender, "before disposing of the question, especially ns (lenernl Shafter luid telegraphed the department that it was understood that the United States commission would recommend that the Spanish soldiers return to Spain wHh the arms they so bravely defended.'' This ihs'ision of Uie president applies alike to Spnnish soldiers who have net engaged with the United Stales troops as well as those who have been participants in the recent battles. Nail on the a.lth. Washington, July 10.—Unless present plans miscarry the Spanish soldiers mir- rendered at Santiago will sail from Culm for Spain on July 25—this date has been fixed by the war department and every effort will be bent toward expediting their departure. It was announced today that the department hnd decided to iu*k for bids from steamship companies for the transportation of the prisoners to their native land nnd proposals will be issued next week. The contract, it is understood, will also include thc subsistence of the men during the voyage. Luckily for the navy Santiago has capitulated just on the eve of the hurricane season i*i the West. Indies. The big battleships are able to worry through this weather with little discomfort* but the smaller blockade, boats will find the task of continuing the blocknde fraught with punitive danger. It is expected, however, to tighten the lilies of blockade, at any cost, particularly at those ports connected with Havana by rail. The surrender of the eastern end of the island to the United Staples will afford some ports of refuge for our naval vessels in case of absolute need.
