Elk City, the brightest star in
the armament of camps in this
section, and with a future before it
equal to any camp in the north
west, is gradually climbing into
fame. The advent of Montana
and Spokane capital headed by
Sam'l l. Slovenian has done much
toward showing the outside world
what possibilities there are in the
camp. Properties that have long
laid idle are again being put in
shape for actual placer mining on
a large scale. In the quartz line
Mr.. Silverman's company is the
most active. Progr is being
made rapidly on the Blue Dragon
mine, and it is reported that the
property is showing up very salts
factorily to the company. Over on
Crooked river where there was but
a small hole in the ground in
August, there is now force of
men pushing drifts ahead on good
ore, and more good mining work
has been done on these properties
in the past 90 days than has ordi-
narily been accom- plished in the
camp in eight years, with excep-
ton of two or three properties.
The FREE PRESS will after Jan.
l, publish a review of the mining
industry in this county for the past
year and will not now go further
into details Of the different proper
ties in the camps.

NEED OF GOOD ROADS.
Our County Fathers Should Look
Well to the ThOrOughfares.

wen 10 the IhOrOughfares.
The regeneration that has been
going on in the mining camps OF
this county is quite surprising to
the ordinary observer. Hereto
fore where a pack train or two fur
nished a seasons supplies to the
miners in the camps of Florence.
Warren and Elk City, it now is
taking wagon load after wagon
load of supplies, mining tools, ma
chinery, etc.
1t is estimated that moro freiaht
has passed into Florence and Elk
City the past season than the total
amount for the past six years
would amount to. It will thus be
seen that it is Of vital importance
to the farmers Of Camas prairie as
well as the claim owners and opera
tors in the mines, that the COM
missioners of this county see to it
that proper care be taken to put
good road overseers on the differ
emit roads leading to the camps,
and also see that the best possible
use and practical expenditure be
made with the money obtained for
road work.
We are confident that where one
load of freight has gone either to
Florence or Elk City this season,
there will be three next year.
Everything in the camps trend
that way. Whe re now it is princi-
pally supplies, tools, powder, ETC.,
next year it will be augmented by
heavy machinery, hoists, pumps,
stamp mills, concentrators, etc.
The roads to the camps will be
kept open all winter, and as soon
as spring opens, it will take quick
decisive work on the part Of our
road overseers to keep up a pas
sable road for teams.
In regard to the Warren road
from Florence, we will say that
had proper attention been paid to
that portion by the officials of this
county, and if necessary an appro-
priation of q small amount of
money by the business men on
this end of the line, all the heavy
machinery of the Warren Placer
Mining company, consisting of
three hundred or more tons, would
have come in this way. The out
look for Warren being very bright
and the probability Of much ma
chinery going in there next season
should spur us up to action. The
people of Camas prairie have al
ready lost much money by freight
coming via Weiser to Warren, and
the influx Of three hundred more
tons Of machinery into the camp
of Warren next season, would be
far reaching in its beneficial effects
and one and all from Lewiston to
Warren should endeavor to use all
just and possible means to make a
road passable for such machinery.

How TO Handle Bees.

Why Some People Are Stung and
Others Mott know there is a sort Of
current impression to the effect that
bees will sting some people more than
others, says L. r. Root. While this
is true, il is not because they are able
to recognize any peculiar physical con-
dition of difference, nor is it because
one person smells to the bees different
from another. Ii is because they
notice a difference in beavior in differ
ent persons. For instance, Mr.. A.
made close study of the habits of
bess, and particularly of the causes
that induce them to sting. He recog-
nizes that quick motions, under some
circumstances, are quite liable to
arouse the bees and make them sting
very badly. There are certain things
he can do with impunity, and others
he cannot; or perhaps we had better
put in this way: He can do anything
with bees he desires; if he works in
certain peculiar way he will get
stung badly; but if his motions are re-
gulated to their whims, he will get
along with few or perhaps no stings.
The Right Way. MIR. A. observes
that bees are crosser on some days
than on others; but if he must handle
Thorn ON an "off day" "a cool day
after rain; day when the bees have
been robbing, or a day following a
sudden stoppage of the honey flow he
will first make sure that his smoker ia
in good order and ready to give off
good volume of smoke. He will blow
little Of it in at the entrance, and
then pry the cover upa little very gen.
tly. As he does so he will send a
stream of smoke into the crack made
by the puttyknife or snewdriver.
This drives down the guards, and then
the crack is made little wider and
more smoke is driven in, when the
cover is removed. II the bees show a
quick, nervous movement, standing up
high on their legs, bobbing their bodies
quickly one way and then the other.
he gives them few more light wbiffs
of smoke until they are subdued.
With screwdriver he loosens the
frames, holding the smoker in his
hand. Just as soon as the bees stick
their heads up ready to show fight he
drives them back again, and very eau
tiously and deliberately removes the
first frame. His movements from
now on are very deliberate; and oooa-
sionally, when the bees are little OBJ
streperous, he gives them another
Whit of smoke. Only very little
is required-just sufficient to let them
know that he is master, and that they
must let him entirely alone
