she said to the reporter, "I have
nothing against you personally,
and want to help you as much as
possible, although I'm not seeking
any newspaper notoriety."
She concluded with a reference
to pinhead officials.
A large crowd gathered on Mc
Kinley street last Saturday after
noon when the marshal served no
tice 011 all the tenants of I he prop
erty to surrender possession lo
tin1! hank. The lied Cross drug
store and I he other tenants closed
their doors for half an hour in
recognition of the hank's rights.
Mrs. Mercer pleaded that she
was ill and asked for more time.
She was given until noon today
by the marshal. Later in the af
ternoon she stood at the front
window looking out at the crowd.
Numerous cameras were directed
at her, but she met the ga/.e of
the multitude with characteristic
defiance.
This morning Mrs. Mercer
showed an inclination to move out
so was given until 3 o'clock this
afternoon. She promised to leave
and wffl live temporarily in the
house she owns in the rear of the
hotel.
GUFF MINE TO
SHIP ITS ORE
(Continued from page 1)
machinery is estimated can the
loss be determined, although it
is believed that it will be between
$10,000 and $20,000. The ma
chinery was still too hot yester
day to be examined, although ap
parently it had not been warped
by the (lames, II is feared, how
ever, that the temper was taken
out «»f a considerable portion of
the steel, which will have to be
replaced.
Insurance of $8,000 was carried
in several companies of which A1
(Irigsby is local agent, which will
bring the loss to the company
down to from $8,000 to $12,000.
In the wake of the Are a clean
up of $13,000 was brought np
from the mine yesterday. The
loss sustained by the company
will in a measure be partially
compensated for by the saving of
concentrates made in shipping
the ore to the smeller, where all
the metal is extracted.
The company has been losing
some of the gold in the tailings,
which were run into the bay last
year, but this season have been
saved with the view to possible
treatment in the future.
The work of reconstructing the
plant will begin at once, without
waiting for the adjustment of
losses by the insurance compan
ies.

PINNEY EARLE
AGAIN IN LIGHT
Discoverer of Affinity Circling the
Globe With His Third Sweet
heart—Known as Dora.
New York.—Once more Ferdi
nand Pinney Karle, discoverer and
promoter «>f I he "atTinity," has
found a heart attuned to his own.
The in'\v Mrs. Earle, with whom
the artist i.s now circling' the
world on his third honeymoon, is
known here only as Dora.
II is known, however, that she
is Hie daughter of an eminent ar
chitect of Workingham, England.
Earle's own soulful descrip
tion, contained in a letter just re
ceived here, is: "Dora, the dear
est, sweetest, loveliest of them
all."
Earle's first adventure in mat
rimony was with Emilic Fisch
er, whom he dismissed for Julia
Kul tner, the original "affinity."
She later became Earle's bride,
and wedded bliss was without al
loy until Earle attempted to choke
his affinity-wife, admitting it in
court. The episode landed Mrs.
Kuttner-Earle in the discard, and
Earle immediately began the quest
of a new affinity, whom lie found
in a young sculptress. Marriage
did not crown this attachment.
According to his present plans,
Earle and his new wife will reach
New York next year.
The village of Monroe, N. Y„.
where his handsome home is lo
cated, is much interested, for
when the K lit tner episode occur
red the artist barely escaped mob
violence.
OIL EXCITEMENT
BILLINGS, MONT.
Oklahoma Oil Hen Preparing to
Drill Holes—Intend Develop
ing Property.
Hillings, Mont., Auk. 1 —Feel
ing positive from indication* in
this vicinity that there is oil in
the surrounding country, several
Muskogee, Okla., oil men are pre
paring to make some tests within
the next few months. They base
their opinion to a large extent up
on the presence of gas which has
been struck in varying small
quantities south of (lie city, and
upon the nature of the gas.
Tests have .been made on Ibis
gas and it is the opinion of the
men, who are experienced oil
drillers, that it indicates Hie pres
ence of oil and they feel certain
that where there is a small
amount of gas there must be a
large quantity of it near.
II is the present plan of the
men to go about tl\#■ miles either
southeast or southwest of the city
and sink at least three wells. They
probably will secure an oil lease
oil several thousand acres of land
if they And conditions favorable
and will lake steps to develop it.
The presence of oil wells they
state does not interfere with the
cultivation of the land on (he
farm, except the comparatively
small section which is covered by
the machinery used in operating
the well. All the men interested
are experienced in oil boring and
express confidence in the suocess
of the enterprise.
I The news has caused great ex
citement here.
