John Cornyn, who is now in Van
couver, writes under date of June

capital in that city to acquire an

on the Frisco group, owned by
S. G. Benson, Henry Benson and
John’s brother, T. Guy Cornyn. The

1 »st week Jesse J. Kahn, president
of the company, picked up a piece
of ore from the dump that looked ,
good to him, and out of curiosity I
had the assayer determine its ton
nage value. The result was a pleas
ant surprise, as the i icee assayed
811 ounces in silver, and the resul
tant button is of sufficient size to'
make a nice stick pin. Mr. Kahn

VANCOUVER GROUP
ADJOINING PREMIER
SEING DEVELOPED
Hugh B. McGuire was down (his
week to secure supplies for his
work on the Vancouver group, on
which he intends to do considerable
development and surface prospect
ing this season. The group con
sists of 11 claims and adjoins the
Premier on the northwest. But
little has been done upon it beyond
the assessments and surveys nec
essary for securing a crown grant,
but surface showings lead to the
belief that it has more than an even
chance of developing into a mine.
CAVE MAN STUFF
IS DOWNFALL
OF RUBE MILLER
Determination to overcome do
mestic infelicity by the employ
ment of physical force has caused
the downfall of Rube Miller, the
versatile colored handy-man of the
town. Some weeks ago Rube paid
a fine of $50 for assault, the charge
being preferred by his wife. Mon-1
day night he again tried the cave
man stuff, with the result that he
now languishes in the city bastile,
with a trip of three months staring!
him in the face. In addition Com
missioner Frame levied an assess-;
ment against him of $250. He will
likely be taken to Ketchikan, as
the Hyder Palace of Tears is only
a two-compartment affair.
NO MOVIES SATURDAY
Owing to the Dominion Day cel
ebration next Saturday in Stewart
there will be no show in the Green
Theatre.
J. R. Brown, assistant to H. F. Gordon
on the Dominion telegraph line, went to

operation.
