MacDonald, a Montana mining engineer, in exploiting an option on the Reischks group of argentiferous lead mines at Reveille Nevada.

He may appeal. prosecutors say he cleared about 250000 dollars in four years with deposits totaling 265068 dollars. Potential penalties include up to 18 months imprisonment and a 600 dollar fine. B F Wilson, arguing for minority Anaconda stockholders, charged Amalgamated with misusing funds as profits dropped from 5305818 dollars in 1901 to 1601201 dollars in 1902 due to cheaper treatment and new smelting equipment. He also alleged political spending from the Anaconda treasury in Montana. Changes at the prison were reported, with Sol Hilp relieved and Jason Burlingame appointed, J M Jones replacing Burlingame, and Nat Dow replacing Jones. In Empire, Dave Sullivan joined the prison force. Fossil, Oregon reports a renewed sheep war near Mitchell with 175 sheep shot, a raid on Butler Bros. property, and a nearby unarmed herder noting the attackers were several men.
