Williams Luman mine plans 175000 appropriation for deeper shaft
The Williams Luman mine at Depass receives 175000 for sinking eight hundred feet below the four hundred foot level and other development work. About twenty five miners will work three shifts under Superintendent Smith to speed the project and boost camp activity. Nearby claims near the Martin properties report a four foot vein of rich ore, with prospects of thicker, richer ore as depth increases. Elmer Waln and Ed Welch were sinking the shaft when the strike occurred.

Monte Carlo Bent as Lord Rosslyn Wins Big Yet Cashes Out
In London on September 26 Lord Rosslyn won 13,730 in bone counters at Monte Carlo after a day that started with losses. He began with 2,000 to the bad and had 4,270 down in the morning, then a strong red run left him 7,000 ahead since the tournament began. Hiram Maxim tended the wheel while Rosslyn settled stakes and fortunes rose and fell with each spin. The affair drew vast interest as a scientific-like test and an advertisement for Monte Carlo, with rules debated when two zeros appeared in a row.
