MINE TO BE DEVELOPED.
Nevr York Men "Will Bcjrln Work
nt Once on Property Nenr Sampler.
SUMPTER, June 12. Arthur B. Brown,
the Montana mining expert, who Is to
have charge of development work on the
Snow Creek group, In the Greenhorn dis
trict, is now arranging to commence de
velopment work there soon. This is the
property sold a few days ago to New
York capitalists for $70,000. It Is the pur
pose of Mr. Brown to continue the drift
on the 55-foot level until the extent of
the pay shoot has been determined. Ho
will also go further down the hill, and
commence a long cross-cut tunnel to get
the lode' at the lowest passible depth. At
200 feet the cross-cut will reach the vein,
when it Is the purpose to drift for 500 feet
or more.
The strike In the Snow Creek Is one of
the Interesting stories of the camp. W.
E. Saunders owned the property. In a
sort of random manner he sunk a shaft
55 feet and began a drift on what seemed
to be a ledge. Quartzlte, streaked occa
sionally with rich ore, continued, but
there were no walls, and no appreciable
Improvement. Finally the miner work
ing with Saunders prevailed upon him to
permit a cross-cut to be run. Ninety feet
from the shaft they began cross-cutting,
and within a few feet out a splendid 12
foot ledge, carrying high values. Going
back to the shaft, a cross-cut was started
there, when the first shot tore the wall off
the same ledge, which proved to be equally
wide there. With the great values thug
revealed In a 12-foot ledge for a distance
of 90 feet, at a depth of 53 feet, the owners-
realized that they had a promising
property. Shortly afterward negotiations
were entered Into for sale to a company
with funds to develop the .property. This
was accomplished last week, and now full
exploitation Is to be taken up by the
New York bankers, under direction of the
Montana mining man.
Main LedKc Uncovered.
On the Mayflower property. In tho
Cracker Creek district; J. B. Fryer, di
recting development work for a company
of Yamhill men, has uncovered the main
ledge at a depth of 136 feet. A cross-cut
235 feet long was run to secure this deptn,
and now It Is the purpose to begin ex
ploration The ledge has been cross-cut
for a distance of 12 feet, without the
hanging wall yet being In evidence. On
the surface the lode Is about 40 feet wide,
and the same width will doubtless be
maintained at the depth where the own
ers are now working. All the ore pene
trated so far is high grade, although no
assays have yet been made. The ore close
ly resembles that of the Golconda and
the Columbia, which Is takon by the own
ers aa evidence that the lead they have
Is the Columbia branch of the great
mother lode of tho Cracker Crock dis
trict. A few hundred pounds of the ore
taken from the winze were brought to
Sumpter by President Bobbins and Sec
retary Howard yesterday, and Is now on
display in the First Bank of Sumpter.
Evory mining man of the community is
hastening to the bank to admire the glit
tering display of gold, which affords one
of the most Interesting mlncralogical
studies of any quartz found hereabout.
Further evidence Is produced that the Gol
conda will again bo one of the great pro
ducers of the camp.
Fine Ore From the Golcundn.
More than an ordinary ripple of excite
ment has been created here by the pres
ence of some large chunks of Golconda
ore, plastered over with free gold. Most
of it is taken from the winzo on the
200-foot level, which Is being sunit on the
former rich shoot.
BLOCKADE TO MINE BROICEN.
Thunder Mountain Now Has Plenty
of Supplies Work to Besin.
BOISE, Ida., June 12. The long blockade
between outside points and Thunder
Mountain Is now fairly broken, antt work
will soon be under full headway in the
camp- It has been Impossible for the
mining companies to start until they could
get In FUpallca. While many people have
been going in and out ovor various trails,
there have been no opportunities to get a
large amount of supplies in until now.
The main factor In clearing up the situa
tion is the opening of what .is known as
the Caswell trail. This lies on the high
land on the water between the middle and
south forks of the Salmon, and therefore
freo from high water troubles. That
trail Is now open. It Is reached by wagon
road from Boise.

ODD APPEAL OF JIGS IX SPAIN.
Oflfern American Relative Fortune
If He Will Send 8700 to Get It.
CIIEHAL.1S, Wash.. June 12. In Janu
ary C. F. Sa Indon. of this place, received
a letter from Jose Bayona. dated at Cas
tlefort, Valencia, January 2. stating that
Mary Slndon, the writer's wife, was a
distant relative of Mr. Salndon. and re
quested his protection of his only daugh- I
ter, IS yoars old, who was kept as a
pensioner In the College of Santa Elona.
Senor Bayona stated that he had been
secretary ami treasurer of Martlnes Cam
pos In tho last war of Cuba, and that
when Goneral Weyler dlnplaced General
Campos he fell cut with tho former and
joined the Insurgents. Afterward he
wont to England and placed his funds,
29.000, in a London bank, and learning
of the death of his wife in Spain went
secretly to that country to secure his
daughter, but was captured by the Span
ish authorities and placed in prison. His
certificate of deposit had been hidden In
a secrot compartment of a portmanteau,
and was held by the authorities, who
knew nothing of the secret compartment.
The priest of tho prison was hla friend
and through his aid Senor Bayona waa
enabled to communicate with his relative.
Mr. Salndon. of Chehalis. The long and
short of the story was that Senor Bayona
wanted Mr. Salndon to take his daughter
and care for her. to put up about $700
to secure the release of hla effects, so
that th certificate of deposit and tho
fortune could be obtained bj Mr. Saln
don from the English bank. Mr. Bayona
generously offered to glvo Mr. Salndon a
fourth of the fortune for hl3 sorvices and
for taking care of his daughter, the re
mainder of the money to go to tho girl.
Mr. Salndon wrote to the Spaniard and
told him that tho relationship was not
quite clear, and asked for further Infor
mation. A reply, written by Senor Eay
one. waa duly received, and a HttlA Inter
came a letter from tho priest, Jamie Her
raro Gomez, stating that Bayona had
died, and urging that the necessary mon
ey be sent promptly, as the time was
limited and the fortune of the young lady
might be lost. A letter purporting to
come from the young lady, written in a
child's hand, and by one apparently but
poorly acquainted with the English lan
guage, was also received. This letter con
tained a photograph, of a glrL A copy of
the will, written in Spanish, with seals
and certificates attached, and a transla
tion by the priest In English, are among
the documents received. As Mr. Salndon
did not send the money, and the time
limit has expired. It Is presumed the 39.
000 has bean lost to the young lady. If hor
father over had such fortune.

of the suffering and danger in store for her, robs the expectant mother
of all pleasant anticipations of the coming event, and casts over her a
shadow of gloom which cannot be shaken off. Thousands of women
have found that the use of Mother's Friend during pregnancy robs
confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother
and child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women at the
time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother's Friend
carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its, use
gently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents "morning
sickness, and other dis
comforts of this period.
