The ground is very dry, and good
soaking rain is much needed to put it in
good condition for seeding Spring work
has been generally commonccd and some
seeding has been done around Hope, but
farmers for the most part are waiting for
moisture before trusting the seed to the
tonder mercies Of Mother Earth.

have her strike him across tho face with

didn't know what she was mad at, and

the mineral lands. The govern
ment would really get the benefit,
since it would get the money for
the mineral lands instead of the
railroads; but if men without
knowledge of minerals or mineral
lands are to classify such lands,
then the object of the law is de-
feated.
The Montana people have now
selected three residents of their
State to cooperate with the COM
mission, but it is not known if
their assistance will be permitted.
The Governor of Montana, speak
ing for the miners of the State,
says: "Men destitute of practical
knowledge bearing upon the mat
ter of mineral lands, whose ideas
have been formed in school of
experience wholly different from
the conditions which will surround
them as members of commission
to classify these lands, cannot, in
the nature of things, deal as intel
ligently with the question as the
interests of the people require.
1t is the misfortune of those States
directly interested in the preserva-
ton of their mineral lands that
their classification should be dele
gated to men confessedly ignorant
of the nature and scope of the du-
ties they will be called upon to
DerfOrm."

Quarts Mining on Relief Greek.

S. w. Smith was out from Elk
this week hiring transfers, con-
tracing for freight and buying
supplies. He is superintendent of
the Cleveland group of quartz
claims on Relief creek, eight miles
sonth of Elk, on which active de-
velopment work is progressing.
For the past six years the compa-
ny have been exploiting these prop
critics and have at last reached a
point where they feel justified
in erecting quartz mill, Frue
Vanner, sawmill and the necessary
power, and hope to have the mill
up and running by July l. The
company have this spring built
nine miles of good wagon road from
Elk City to Relief creek for the
transfer of machinery and supplies.
The quartz mill is One-stamp
Kendall battery, and with the as
sistance of the rock crusher will
have crushing capacity of two
tons per day. This machinery is
being erected to test the free mill
ing value of the ore and to ascer.
tain the proportion and value o.
the concentrates. All the machin-
cry is on the ground except tho
sawmill and betting, which
is expected in Lewiston daily an(
will be shipped in Immediately
Should the first mill test be salts
factory, a five-stamp battery ant
additional concentration will be or
dered Immediately. The gentle
men engaged in this enterprise ar
Messrs. S. w. Smith and Il. c
Thomas, of Elk City, A. f. Parker
of Grangeville, and w. n. Knox
Jr.. of Mt. Idaho. This is tn
pioneer milling scheme of tn
Elk City and Bitter Root country
and its progress will be watche
with intense eagerness by minin
men in more States than one.

CIassifying Mineral Lands.

In the last three platforms issu-
ed by the democrats of the state of
Idaho, the editor of the FREE Press
caused to be inserted a clause de-
claring that the mineral lands of the
L. S. were the poor mans heritage,
and protesting against the issuing
of any more land patents to the
greedy railroad land grant corpo-
ratisns which were grabbing every
thing in sight. The fight was also
taken up by the Montana miners,
and the last congress passed law
authorizing the President to APP
point three commissioners to clas-
sify the mineral lands of the min
eral states. They also succeeded
in getting a suspension of the issue
of patents to railroad companies
for unclassified mineral lands. But
the President, bull-headed and
stubborn and determined to thwarl
the wishes of the people, and court
ing the favors of rich and powerful
corporations, has appointed as such
commissioners three men who
know nothing of mineral lands
Two of these men were selected
from the Atlantic seaboard and TIL,
third is A. a. Crane, n republican
from Rathdrum, Idaho. These APP
pointments are enough to DISCUS
the men who made the fight t,
prevent the railroads from goblin;
