Miles' instantlj- threw his arms around the�� man's body and held liim until help came. Men closed around the prisoner on'every sidewith drawn revolvers and the slightest attempt1 at resistance would have resulted in his instant death. He submitted to arrest very quietly, claiming again and again that he had nothing to do,with the shooting. ,; He gave his name as Harland, Whittaker, and said he had been in the state office building when he heard the shots,,and believing; the long-predicted battle had come at last, had hastened out to see what was going on. He was searched at once and three large revolvers, all fnlly loaded, were taken: from him; None of the cartridges were exploded and there was no sign of any of the weapons having been in use. He ..was. hurried to.the jail three blocks awa3', it being feared that an attempt might be made to lynch him if the crowd should be able to lay hands upon him. He was very quiet and did not lose his composure for'an instant, 'notwithstanding the excitement around him'.- '"I kho*.v no more about it than any of you," he said. The r��pubiicau officials. acted with greatest promptitude. Adjutant Gen era. Collier at once telephoned.to the armory on the hill, where ail during the gubernatorial contest the local com pany of infantry had been held in reserve, and within 20 minutes a com- panj' of infantry had been drawn up in front of the capitol building. Guards were , placed at every gate leading to the capitol grounds and nobody was permitted to enter or leave. As soon as it had been noised around that Goeble had been shot, members of the legislature made a wild rush for the telegraph offices and filed voluminous messages to their constituents and within an hour replies, began to pour in, the general run of them having one tenor, which was "We are coming." It was expected that fully 5,000 men would arrive in Frankfort during the evening.

I need not take up the defense of the church. On the principles of political economy noiinstitution has a stronger defence. Church abusing is a story nineteen centuries long, and is likely to be a great deal longer before many are wise enough to cease tripping over pebbles. One thing the founder of Christianity never attempted, was to provide amusement for the world or go the music hall one better. His Christianity may have been nseless and impractical in the light of the Timesoffice, but wisdom is justified of her children. My purpose at present is to state again the point of my former letter which you seem to have missed. I was not pleading the cause of the church, I was not condemning places of amusement, but only suggested that any place -of amusement holding a license from the city should not be immoral. . I have spent five years, mostly in the mining camps of the country, and am not yet convinced hut that a very Urge majority of the men in camps and about the streets are capable of enjoying, and prefer a place of amusement that is freo from vice. 1 did not suspect that the daily press would support a lower standard. - Most sincere^-,.

Che (Ueeliiy Ciiiies* PTBLJSHED BY Tbe Greenwood Times Printing and Publishing Company, Limited. DUNCAN ROSS. : ElMTOR. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1900. SHOULD BE AT GREENWOOD. The special from Victoria an nouncing the intention of the government to establish a registry office in the Boundary district. The necessity of the office is acknowledged by everyone acquainted with the growing importance of the district. If the government avails itself of the data in its possession and make further inquiry, it will come to the conclusion that Greenwoo'd is the proper point for a registry office. The office should be established where it would meet the requirements of thegreater number of people. Those who will have the largest volume of business with the office are the members of the legal profession. The legal centre of the Boundary is Greenwood. There are at least twelve lawyers engag-ed in active practice in the city. The only other towns that can claim the office are Midway and Grand Forks, There" are only five or six lawyers in Grand Forks and none in Midway. The government will make a grave mistake if it establishes the office at any point other than Greenwood. CONNECTION "WITH COAST. Discussing the proposed road to the Similkameen district, regarding which Messrs. A. Howse and James Anderson aie now at the capital, the Columbian says: It is hardly necessary to do more than hint at the immense benefits that would flow to New Westminster, district and the coast cities, from being directly connected, by the cheap means of transportation of river and wagon road, with so rich a mining region, in process of rapid, development, and the building up, in a few years, of a second Rossland or Green .ood, or even a larger mining town. British Columbia has suffered the loss and humiliation of seeing the principal commercial : benefits accruing from the development, of .the. Rossland and Boundary districts. go to swell the trade and fatten the producers of cities and agricultural districts south of the international boundary line. ���Here is a chance���that must, however, be improved, at once���to keep the trade of perhaps the richest mining region of the province for our own merchants and farmers. MAKING CHAMPERTY LEGAL. It will be remembered that a short time ago Hon. Jos. Martin . was sus- spended by the bar association for practising champerty. The ex-at torney general will not be caught the same way again if he secures the pas- ^sa^e-ofthe^biil^which^he^has^intro^ duced in the house. The following is the chief clause: Notwithstanding any law or usage to the contrary any solicitor or barrister in this Province may contract, either under seal or otherwise, with any person or persons or corporations whatsoever, as to the remuneration to be paid him for services rendered or to bejrendered to any such person,persons or corporations in lieu of or in addition to the costs which by any tariff in force are allowed to the said solicitor or barrister, and the contract entered into may provide that such solicitor or barrister is to receive a portion of the proceeds of the subject matter of the action or suit in which any such solicitor or barrister is or is to be employed, or a portion of the moneys or property with regard to which such solicitor or barrister may be retained, whether an action or suit has been brought for the same or a defence has been entered, and such remuneration may also be in the way of commission or percentage on the amount recovered or defended, or on the value of the property about which any action, suit or transaction is concerned. joying a place of amusement that is free from vice ; so does the Times. We are in full consonance with his views to that extent, but we quarrel with his wisdom in railing against an institution that secures a patronage because men in mining eamps want recreation. ' If they cannot g-et that which comes up to their standard they . take the best that is. offered. ^The abolition of a music hall will only aggravate the evils which Mr. Campbell and every other earnest minister of the' gospel war against. , We will not cavil at Mr. Campbell's statement regarding the founder of Christianity, but we will go a little further, even if we are charged with heresy for doing so. We believe he was, or is, sufficiently versatile to do such things as will secure a firm hold on the masses. Mr. Campbell will remember that he did something more than rail against existing conditions when he discovered there was no wine forthe wedding; he made wine. TREACHERY IN GOVERNMENT. If the insinuations contained in *an editoral in the Coionist of recent date be true, the sooner dissolution is granted and an appeal made to the electors, the better in the "interests of the province. If one of the ministers is making overture-* to the opposition without consulting his colleagues, the people ought to be given an opportunity to show their disapproval of such contemptible tactics. The Colonist says: ���������".__'������' The present uncertain balance-'-of power by which the government of the province is maintained, wouldyunder ordinary circumstances, be remedied by a coalition of the diverse demerits of the; house, which differ only on what may be called fractional points. But in the present instance,such a course is rendered impossible by the absolute distrust felt by the opposition towards one minister of the crown, without whose admission into a coalition ministry he; speaking for his party, declares coalition to be impossible. This distrust is accentuated by the fact that twice this minister has made a distinct and direct proposal to the opposition to initiate such a coalition, and on each occasion, as the opposition well know, but few of the members of his party, were cognizant of the approach made by him to their opponents. To those who were not apprized of his' attempt his conduct can only be described as extremes- treacherous, and * the . opposition thoroughly realize that a man, who is ever ready to betray those who have placed him in power, would be liable to sacrifice when the psychological moment arrived,, those who affiliate with him to keep him there. The minister to whom reference is made is undoubtedly Mr. Cotton. He has been charged with sacrificing his political friends in the past and he has evidently not yet forsaken his bad practices. A LESSON IN ECONOMICS. wn liberality or minimize the dignity of the Canadians who will enlist at his expense, and Strathcona's Horse is a name which would probably suit the patriotic creator of the force.���Toronto Telegram. ��� VACCINATION. Now that smallpox is prevalent on the other side, all should take the precautionary measure of getting vaccinated. It is generally accepted that vaccination is the best safeguard against the dread disease. The cost is nominal, and the inconvenience from vaccination is only slight if ordinary precaution be used. EDITORIAL NOTES. IT is stated by the Boers that since the beginning of the war their losses in dead have been only 200. There is a suspicion that in addition to an ability for setting traps the burghers add also to that accomplishment easy extemporaneous prevarication. Advertising promotes cordial relations between seller and buyer. Newspaper readers become interested in an advertisement which appears daily, and quickly feel a like interest in the advertiser, speaking of him as familiarly as they do of personal friends. These relations |ire not only desirable but necessary in business; for upon them' wholly depend the merchant's success.���Vancouver World. Mr: J. M. Kellie has again distinguished himself by asking permission to introduce in the legislature a bill to regulate the length of hair of men engaged in underground mining. The bill should have the. effect of keeping the Chinese and populists out of the mines, for the Chinaman wears a queue* and the populist is supposed to pride himself on the superabundance of his hirsute appendage. Or perhaps Mr. Kellie's bill may have some religious significance, for the New York Journal, after careful investigation, has arrived at the'belief that dwellers in the heavenly kingdom do not wear whiskers. The London News, evidently an authority on the question, ventures the suggestion that "for climatic reasons there are no superfluous hairs on the heads or faces of the sojourners in the other -place, either."���Nelson Economist. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM. Not long ag-o a,certain merchant decided that because Spokane was a rarge^plafdeTrlfe^ cured there cheaper and better than in Greenwood. He sent an order to a Spokane printing- house, secured prices that were lower than those charged by Greenwood printing establishments, but when he paid out express and duty' he found that his stationery cost him twenty-five per cent more than it would in Greenwood. He also came to the Times office and acknowledged that the work was not as satisfactory as that done by the home offices and that the experiment had completely convinced him that it was better to patronize offices in the city. The incident points a moral and adornes. a tale. City fathers might take a hint. OFFER ACCEPTED. MR. CAMPBELL'S LETTER. Rev. Mr. Campbell is wise in deciding not to continue a newspaper controversy. His two letters to the Times clearly show that if he were not better adapted for something- else he would never rise above the level pf the common place. The church needs to be defended more from those who use her as a stalking horse behind which they discuss matters about which, they know little, rather than those who occas&ionally are driven to tell her some unpalatable truths. The! -Times and Mr. Campbell agree on several points. Mr. Campbell does not defend the music hall; neither does the Times. Mr. Campbell believes that the majority of men in camps and ���about the streets are capable of en- The offer of the British Columbia government to raise and equip one hundred men has been accepted. Recruiting- stations have been established at Fort Steele,, Revelstoke, Kamloops and Victoria. There are many more applications than will make up the number required, and the recruiting officers will have some difficulty in making- selections from the many good men who are anxious to enlist. App'.i- cants must be 5 feet six inches tall, 34 inches around the chest, of sound constitution, and be good riders and shots. MIDWAY, B. C. First-Class Accommodation.

Now, Mr. Editor, how is it that Americans get hold of all the good things in this country of ours ? The answer is easy: Because they have more get-up, more enterprise and are quicker to get on to a dead sure thing. My object in writing this letter is to remind some ten men of my proposal to them about just one year ago on this very scheme of dredging the Kettle river. Mr. Alexander Dick was .thendntown^l I told him what I knew of the value of the different bars on this river, and he was so taken with the project that we then and there put down 10 men to form a syndicate to take up 25 miles on lease of the Kettle river with the idea ot ultimately forming a dredging company. Now, I wish to put on record the various rebuffs I got from the gentlemen to whom I put forth my idea iu writing. These are the clever remarks I met with : "You bald-headed idiot, you are crazy. Why, Ferguson, you are batty; old man, you are nutty. Ferguson, placer mining is played out." '- Old man, if there was anything in the Kettle river it would have been found long ago." These are five replies I got to my proposition; from men supposed to have brains. These same men have put thousands into sinking shafts, running tunnels, etc., on claims, the surface showing of which have been $2 a ton and upwards, and in many cases only traces, against one pan of gravel that would produce 10 cents���with no necessity of hunting for a man to bond the claim, as it is now'necessary. Most people know I have one and a half miles of Boundary creek leased from the government, and if I had the money I would put up $10,000 that in this one and a half miles there is more gold than there is in many of the pro- l.erties floated for millions.

BIG ORE CHUTE IN THE CARIBOO Semi-Monthly Clean-Up oa the Waterloo-Mammoth Showing Up Well���From the Records���Mining; Briefs. Fred M. Cummings returned recently from a visit to Camp McKinney. He reports that the camp is quite active and that mining development is proving its worth every .day. To a Times man he said: "In the face of the west drift-on the first level of the Waterloo they are working in a breast of four feet of solid quartz. This level is being continued to under the old or No. 1 shaft, where a connection will be made, and in time the No, 1 shaft will be made the main working outlet. When this connection is completed the company will install a new ho'-st, capable of sinking to a depth of at least 300 feet. The tramway connection from the No. 2 shaft will be taken down and replaced to connect with the mill from the No. 1 shaft. The mill is .to be enlarged by an additional' battery of five stamps. Hereafter the clean-up will be made serai-monthly. -This property is bound to become a "arge dividend payer in the near future. * THE CARIBOO. " The' Cariboo Consolidated company is working 50' men., The old levels are now being continued through to the Okanagan- on the'east. It will be remembered that Jimmie Moran's remaining, interest in this claim was re; cently purchased - for the company for 920,000V ; At the present time I was informed that they. were stoping one of the largest > and richest bodies of ore ever found in* the mine.

THE MAMMOTH. "The Mammoth it* looking well. This is one of "the few properties owned by an assessable company, and as a consequence-funds are -always in hand to prosecute the' development. _. may be remembered .that the Mammoth is one of the few tunnel sites in camp. The development work consists of tunneling on the vein. It is a big one, "with four feet of quart*; in the face, carrying good values. A recent sampling act oss the face gave a value of- $25 in gold, "'' ,. THE GEORGE HEARST, JiTHe_Camp_McKinney_Gold_ Mining of this decomposed quartz assayed that wen-t over $1,000 in gold. Mr. Kerr says a conservative estimate of many samples would go $100 to the ton. It was' not definitely decided yesterday what the new work will consist of. It is probable thatlmore surface prospecting will be attempted, before the actual permanent development of the claim takes place. THE LUCKY OWNERS. The owners of the Dayton- are Hughie Cameron, William Yonkin and Charles Hamilton of Camp McKinney and Harry McQuaid of this city. At one time it was said that unless a deal was made at the figures asked by the owners that Hughie Cameron himself would put up all the funds necessary to develop the mine and put it in shape for a stamp mill. The owners had the claim' surveyed. As was stated in yesterday's Times, the sensational values obtained from the Dayton claim caused prospectors early in the winter to stake out all the available ground in the immediate vicinity of the claim. Most of these locations have been recently surveyed. It is known that at least 36 claims surround, the new bonanza of the east, end ,of Camp McKinney. The future' development of the Dayton w'ill be watched with, keen interest on account of it passing into the hands of such a strong local syndicate as that which secured it yesterday. company, of- Greenwood, lias resumed work on the.George'Hearst claim. A message received by 'phone by the secretary of the company said that a vein three feet in width had been struck. The company intend doing considerable work on this property, which is one bf a, group of seven in thc central part of the camp. The Dayton claim in Camp McKinney was yesterday bonded for $54,000, to a syndicate of local miniug capitalists. The bond was taken in name of James Kerr, of the miniug ���-okeragefirm of McEntire, McDonnell & Co. From him a Times representative obtained the following information: Associated with Mr. Kerr are Duncan Mcintosh, George H. Collins, .James McNicol, Thomas McDonnell, Pat Welch, and another party, whose name was, for personal reasons, withheld from publication. One thousand dollars cash was paid down, yesterday; 'the next payment will be made in - 60 days, and other payments extend over a period of nine months. - - . . WORK TO START ATONCE." The syndicate will, start the work of ��� developing the claim on Monday. Supplies will go up to the camp today. A force of 10 men will: be engaged, but ��� no. superintendent has.__.as yet'Tbeen decided upon. Under the terms of the bond the syndicate is bound to expend a large sum of money in opening up ���theclaim.* - * WHERE SITUATED.. The Day tori is --situate d* in the east end of Camp McKinney and came into prominence a- few weeks' ago on account' of its splendid surface showing. But little surface work has been . done on it. There,are three open cuts exposing the ledge, but even its width is as yet iinknqwn. It is fully .five; feet in places and the ore is in oxidized brown colored quartz, carrying visible gold.

THE ABSENT MINDED BEGGAR Was Not Forgotten���The Alhambra was Packed���Amateurs and Professionals Receive Great Applause. Greenwood did herself proud last night and remembered "the absent minded beggar" at the front, in a patriotic and financially a most substantial manner. It was impossible to get the correct amount of the proceeds of the entertainment, as the treasurer had not obtained a report of the tickets sold previous to last night. It is certain to be over $500. The concert given last night at the Alhambra theatre in aid of the Mansion House fund was an unqualified success. The theatre was simply packed to the roof, and the committee in charge of the arrangements deserve the highest praise for the manner in which the programme was carried out, not a little credit being due Delphos Laurence, the stage manager of the theatre, for helping the committee and making the announcements. With the exception of two numbers the performance, was given wholly by amateur talent, but on account of a change found necessary at the last, moment in carrying out the programme the assistance of Miss Alice Hamilton and Miss Celia De L.acy of the Alhambra staff was requisitioned and they very cordially responded. The programme was a lengthy one. From 8:30 to nearly midnight the large audience were kept amused and applauded enthusiastically every number. The singing of the "Soldiers of the Queen" by Miss De Lacey stirred the house to such a pitch that it was not quieted down until the chorus had been repeated five times. Too much praise cannot be given Neville Lees and J. E. Hooper, for besides taking the leading numbers on the programme they have worked for weeks past to make the entertainmeht what it was��� a decided success. Prof. Con Meich and the orchestra also deserve words of praise. In fact, every one who took patt last night did their utmost, and the citizens of Greenwood and the sur rounding camps were unstinted in their appreciation orpocketbook. The "Pay, Pay, Pay," concert was responded to as its most sanguine promoters wished. It would take much space to credit at any length the merits of the different performers; all received encores, for it was an appreciative audience. The programme opened with a comic song by F. Lewin. His rendition of "For me, For me," was a good starter. T. Murray followed in a song and dance. C. W. H. Sanson created laughter in his song "And the verdict was." C. Strong was next with "The two grenadiers." "He wanted something to play with," by J. E. Hooper, made a tremendous hit. It was rendered in his best style and introducing, as the song did, a lot of local hits it was deservedly appreciated. W. W. Howe's comic song, "Brown of Colorado," was also laughable. A. G.Simpson of Phoenix, firstsong wasr"It?s-a-kisid-of-assort of a'," and in the second half, "The bugler serenade;" he too received big applause. Evan Morgan was clever in Indian club and axe swinging. A musical monologue, "The gentleman ranker," or "Ordered to the front," the music of which was especially composed for the occasion by J. E. Hooper, was given in truly military style and dash by Neville Lees in his impersonation of Corporal Tom Charleymayne. It was unique and popular, and his singing of the "Absent Minded Beggar" was fruitful of excellent financial results, as the audience became in-' tensely patriotic and showered down money on an outstretched flag. The piece concluded the first portion of the programme. After a short interval the second half opened by a three round sparring contest between Woods and Needham, followed by another three round go between Peter Jacksonoand Charley Mitchell. Evan Morgan ref- ereed both contests. The last was the most amusing feature of the evening. At the close Peter Jackson brought the house down by taking one clip at the referee's face, leaving it covered with black from the gloves. Miss Alice Hamilton, of the Alhambra gave in her usual finished manner "The Death of Nelson" and in answer to an enchore greatly pleased everyone with her sweet singing "Coming Through the Rye." Immediately after came Miss Celia De Lacy, she was in splendid voice and the house grew enthusiastic recalling her four times. Messrs. Hooper and f.eese, with the assistance of Mr. Sanson* gave a most laughable skit. Their "Round the Town" duet being exceeingly funny. The performance was brought to a close by two exhibitions of the Cornish style of wrestling. The first bout brought out A. D. McLeod and Ed. Richard, and the second James Tregillis and Tom Watters. Both exhibitions were well contested. At the end the audience all joined- in the National Anthem, bringing to a close one of the most memorial evenings in the history of Greenwood. The Pay, Pay, Pay concert will help swell the fund for those who are dependent on the brave fellows fighting for her majesty the queen in the Transvaal. Greenwood has done herself proud. ######$#-��*#*$*##$��**###��#�� | AS TOLD TO THE INTERVIEWER. $ �� -�� Thomas McDonnell, who returned with his wife from Spokane on Tuesday, was seen yesterday regarding the prevalence of smallpox in the Falls city. He said: "The epidemic in Spokane is only a mild one. There are some 50 odd cases in the pest house, but not one, I was informed, of a violent nature. Great precautions are being taken and in Rossland everyone was rushing to get vaccinated. The city is giving the vaccine points free to the doctors, who charge a fee of Si for administering same. The trouble with the mails is about all over. There is no excitement in Spokane. The health department of the city is taking every care to prevent the spread of smallpox and its isolation hospital is being properly attended to." F. M. Munn, proprietor of the Northern hotel, Eholt, was in the city yesterday on a flying visit. "I came down to see a few of my friends here and to let them know that things at Eholt were prosperous. We appreciate getting the Times. I want to tell you it'- the best paper for its size in the province." But the reporter was more interested in obtaining news and switched the subject by asking how things were in the mines. "Weil, business is good." Mr. Munn continued: "-his is due to most encouraging reports coming from the mines surrounding Eholt. There is quite a force at the B. C. mine, and I understand they are taking out good ore from the new crosscut at the 250-foot level. Their machinery plant will soon be at the mine. By the way, a carload of machinery for the Jewel has arrived and this will shortly be installed. Good strikes are reported on the Silver Plume, Red Eagle and the Twenty- One claims. There are quite a number of properties being opened up, but I did not come down prepared for an interview, its something new to me; but the next time���well, I'll bring a pocketful of notes," he laughingly concluded. Dr. Schon, medical officer of health, said yesterday that at a meeting of the physicians of the city,held in his office, they had agreed, in view of- a possible visitation of smallpox and in order to socure an efficient precaution against it, to ask everyone to be vaccinated. A nominal fee of 551 will be charged for vaccination. He said that Dr. C. J. Fagan of Victoria, secretary of the provincial board of health, had asked to have the public strongly urged to take all necessary precaution against the likelihood of the spread of the contagion here. Dr. Fagan left here yesterday for Spokane to investigate the epidemic in that city. A circular on vaccination adopted by the provincial board of health -says: "Vaccination, recently and properly done, will prevent, almost without exception, the contraction of smallpox, no matter how great the exposure." In proof of this statement theT ^ifc1iil^~^otes^tHe^-,epbrtr^f "the" royal commission as saying that of 10,403 patients 61 were well vaccinated children under five years of age, with no deaths; 182 were imperfectly vaccinated, with 21 deaths; 118 were doubtfully vaccinated, with 47 deaths; 677 were confessedly not vaccinated, and among them 383 deaths. In the year 1771, 110 persons were engaged in the Homerton fever hospital in attendance on the smallpox sick. All but two were re-vaccinated and all but these two escaped the disease. Of 734 nurses and attendants on smallpox cases in London hospitals, 79 had had smallpox and these escaped; 645 were re vaccinated on entrance and not one took smallpox; 10 escaped vaccination and all took smallpox. | CONCENTRATED MINING NEWS. 1 ��#ft#_>#��tt��0��###��e*����<>��fte$e* Fifty-two men are on the pay-roll of the B. C . Chartered company, limited. S. F. Parrish is the general manager. The mine is shipping daily to .the Trail smelter from 60 to 70 tons. The greater portion of this is being taken from the dumps, as little ore is at present being broken. The new machinery plant coming frcSm Montreal will be at the mine this month. At the 250-fqot level the drift has cut the vein on its dip for a distance of 40 feet. W. Y. Williams, superintendent of the different properties under Jay P Graves, management, arrived in the city yesterday from the City of Paris and Lincoln mine, in Central camp, To a Times man he said that they were making preparations to send down ore from that mine to theGranby smelter at Grand Forks. This mine will be the first one to ship ore to that smelter. Shipments would have been made a month ago but there has never been sufficient snow to hanl the ore down by sleighs. Even now tbe ore will only be hauled to Fourth of July creek by sleighs when it will be trans- fered to wheels, and hauled the balance of the distance that way. There are 500 tons of ore now ready for shipment, and between; three and four thousand tons will be shipped this winter to the smelter. This last ore is ready to be stoped.. The mine is developed by a cross-cut tunnel to the ore body, 1,000 feet in length, with drifts on the ore body running north and south. The north drift is in 600 feet and is connected by a raise to the surface 300 feet. In the south drift the work has progressed about 500 feet. . A connection, is now being made between this drift and the old Lincoln shaft. Robert Donagin is in the city from Chesaw. He owns the C. O. D. claim, on the west slope of Thunder mountain in the Myers Creek camp. This is the same mountain on which the Crystal Butte is located. Mr. Donagin has had a small force of men prospecting his property for some months back. The work has been in opening the vein *by a number of small shafts and considerable surface cross-cutting. He is well pleased with the results, and values obtained. Froin one shaft, at a depth of 12 feet he says the ore went $29 in gold and eight ounces in silver. He speaks highly of the splendid showing on the Mountain Chief. This mine is owned by a Greenwood company. The work consists of sinking a shaft to a depth of 100 feet.' It was down when he left 30 feet in good quartz. The ledge measures from 8 to 10 feet, at a most conservative estimate. Work is progressing -satisfactorily on* the Poland China and the Review mines.. Just before coming but he heard there had been quite a fracas over the Chesaw townsite. Someone had attempted to jump the toy. nsite and as a consequence a number of promient people got mixed up in the affray and for a short time there was a likely hood of gun play. However, matters he believed, had been smoothed over.
