The Fairview school house, 10 miles cast
of Kalispel. burned Monday. 1t was just
completed last fall at n cost of Sl,50J, and
was regarded as one of the best country
school buildings i'm tho state. The first

and personal effects of the scholars were
saved through tho efforts of Teacher

There is no abatement in the excite
ment over the gold discovery at Atlanta,
81 miles east of Kalspel. Over 20 Local
ton notices have been filed in the Office
of the county clerk and recorder. Messrs.
Bogg d Finnegan, the origin discover
ers, are vigorously pushing work on the
gold bearing lead that started the excite
ment, and they find increased encourage
ment. They have sent several sacks OF
ore to different smelling points for n
thorough test. Ii is estimated that there
are no less than 80 prospectors IN the hills
on Wolf creek. II this claim proves n
bonanzl mine Kaispcl will experience n
boom of no small proportions, but Kalis-
pei does not invite a stampede unless the
mine proves that gold exists IN such guam
titles as TO warrant an influx of people to
the new fields. There is no better coun-
try for the prospector however than that
afforded by tho hills surrounding Flat
head valley.
