Total,
New Telephone Line?

DR.. George Wood, of Grange
vile, is in the city, says the Tri-
bune. Mr.. Wood is building tele-
phone line from Grangeville to
Buffalo Hump and his visit here is
made for the purpose of receiving
an invoice of goods consisting of
one thousand pounds of wire and a
number of phones to be used on
his system. The intermediate sta
tions on the line between Grange
vile and the Hump will be at
Whitebird, Slate Creek and Flor
ence. Much of the construction
work on the line between Grange
vile and Florence is already COM
pleted. Mr.. Wood also owns the
Kendrick-Pierce City line. He has
great confidence in the future
development of the interior mining
camps, and says that after a per-
sonal inspection of the strikes
made at Buffalo Hump he is salts
fled it will develop into one of the
greatest if not the greatest gold
producers in the west.
The telephone line will surely
prove to be helpful influence in
developing the new camp and will
also undoubtedly be paying en-.
terprise.

MANAGER TRAVIS HERE.
With Warren be Makes an Inspection
OF the Roads and Stock.

Felix Warren the veteran stage
driver made the trip up from Lewis
ton in company with Manager
Travis of the Stage Company, ar
irving last night in a private
conveyance.
The object of the trip was to
inspect the roads, observe the con-
dition of the stool. at the various
sta lions ana replace those that arc
feelin. he Ell ,c's Of heavy work by
fresh teams.
They found the road, as already
reported, almost impossible be-
tween Slavin's and Cottonwood.
When Warren says they are bad
it is safe to gamble the gumbo is
at its worst. Between Cottonwood
and Grangeville the roads are
drying up nicely.
Mr.. Travis informs the DAILY
PRESS that they now have 100 head
of horses in use on the 65 miles
between Grangeville and Lewiston,
and since his arrival from Salt
Lake he has purchased As addi-
tional head for use on this stage
line. They now run six horses
from Lewiston to Waha, four from
Waha over the snow to Westlake,
and six from Westlake to Grange
vile. Additional stations have
been established at Tammany,
Soldier Meadows, Westlake and
Denver, making seven changes in
all, or an average of nine miles
between stations. They are also
running six horse baggage wagon
three times week in order to
facilitate the passenger travel, and
have besides. three Of the
largest and best coaches that money
can buy, with accommodations for
II passengers each, now in Lewis
ton which will be put on as soon
as the condition Of the road will
permit.
Arrangements have also been
made with the railroad lines
whereby tickets can be purchased
at reduced rates in Grangeville to
any point reached by railroad in
the United States. These tickets
can be purchased of Agent Arthur
Robinson in Grangeville, and pas
sengers bound for points below will
save money by buying their tickets
here.
Felix brings word of bad fire
which occurred at Lewiston night
before last. The Royal Restaurant
went up in smoke, and the barber
shop on the Hank Trimble pro-
perty was reduced to ashes. 1t
was remarked that had Grange
ville's fire department and splendid
water system been available this
heavy loss of property would not
have occurred.

Wait For Melting Shows.

In talking to the Lewiston Trib-
une Clayton Miller emphasizes the
fact that people should keep out of
the Hump until the snow begins to
go OIL, as they can accomplish
nothing in there now and there are
scarcely enough supplies for those
who are compelled to be at work.
1.-The country as whole is
looking exceedingly WE'LL" said
MT. Miller, "but as the future
OF the camp depends as much on
the timber supply as on any other
one thing, steps should be taken
TO have that immediate section
eliminated from the forest reserve.

whether the bodies of soldiers who
have died in Manila would be
brought home. 1t states that the
bodies will be brought home,
though not until next winter. Con-

"The nearest relative or legal
representative of a deceased soldier
should make application by letter
to the quartermaster general,
asking that the remains be sent
home, if desired, when received in
the United States service, giving the
full name, rank, company and regi-
ment, date and place of death Of
the soldier, and the name and ad-
dress of the person to whom it is

SEE THAT HUMP?
Correspondent Writes From Sheep Greek
He Is Getting There.

Especial correspond nee of the PRgss
Midway between Salmon river
and the Buffalo Hump on Sheep
Creek, March %, 1898.
To the editor of the FREE PREes,
Grangeville.
Sir:-In compliance with my
promise to keep the FREE Press
posted as to the success Of our
prospecting trip from Crooked riv-
er to the Hump, l will give you
the following facts. We left War
rem, our QUILTING point, on the
9Th of February, with dog train
and toboggans with cargo for the
big mineral belt at the mouth of
Crooked river, which is 20 miles
north from Warren.
When we arrived the snow was
three feet deep at the Salmon river
and is still at this writing the
worst thing that the prospector has
to contend with.
Our party consists of myself.
George Pluff, VIM. Smith, Il. N.
Feltham and L. N. Taylor. We
are sure that we have found the
Big Buffalo and Jumbo lodges, and
have located some very promising
claims on same; some of them
cropping out 10 to 10 feet on the
surface.
We are working toward the
Hump at snow line and in the
snow. Smith and Feltham have
just arrived with the dog train
from Warren with fresh cargo Of
supplies that will run us till we
work through to the Hump.
We learned today that Elmer
Shorthill Left Terpin and Mike
OBrien were drowned in Salmon
river yesterday while descending
the river in boat one mile below
Sheep Creek.
Respectfully,
ROBERT MCCONNELL.
The possibilities of mineral pro-
duction in old Idaho county are as
yet undreamed of by any except
the more enthusiastic of those of
us who know something about the
extent of the great gold belts which
traverse the mountain ranges.
Even the best known of our min
ing camps are not as yet more than
half prospected, while in these
vast mountain ranges the surface
is undisturbed by the foot of the
prospector.
From the above communication
it appears that the country between
Buffalo Hump and the Salmon riv-
er canyon is simply a continuation
OF the great gold belt whose dis
covery by Robbins and Rigley last
fall has already created such fur
ore in the mining world. We hope
soon to hear more and definite par
ticulars of the discoveries referred
to by Mr.. Mcconnell.
Idaho County free press. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho Territory) 1886-current, 1899-04-14

In addition he offers to reimburse
the properties of the Big Buffalo
mines for all money spent for de-
yelopment work, buildings, freight
ing Or other expenditures to date
of any nature. So far as is known
his offer has not been accepted,
and the gentleman in question re-
turned to Portland today.

SALMON RIVER STRIKES.
Located Lodges and Knows Of
Nuggets Netting Ninety
Dollars.

Paul Tyre who formed unit in
the Ingram prospecting party con-
firms the account of their trip pub
lished in this issue. He adds that
he made location on an extension
OF the "Rubber-neck" which he
thinks is more promising than the
claim named. The Rubber-neck
and the Tyre claim are on we'll
defined ledge. Assays of rock
brought back by Mr.. Tyre are
being made by Frank Reed, and
the result will be published in the
DAILY PRESS next week.
Mr.. Tyre in common with all
who have knowledge of the coun-
try has a firm faith in the Salmon
river district. Prospecting is pro-
ceeding under great difficulties, yet
nuggets have been washed ont from
several claims this spring ranging
in value from $12 to $50. These
were seen by Mr.. Tyre himself.
He will return to the scene of ac-
ton as soon as the assay of his
rock has been made.
1t is stated that a great deal of
dirty work is being done by parties
who pull stakes and jump claims
during the temporary absence of
the rightful owners. The method
is to pull every stake in sight and
then swear till all is blue that no
sign of a notice or post was to be
seen. Prospectors are weary of
this form of pleasantly and promise
to go cunning for the next man
that tries it.

And thus the matter rests.

Frank Brown who is one of the
proprietOrs of the store at Buffalo
Hump reached town yesterday.
He states that his confidence in the
camp increases daily and he expects
to put more teams to work hauling
in provisions. He is heavily in
terested in the Hump district both
in q mining and mercantile sense.
His sturdy confidence in the future
OF the camp is refreshing, as being
on the spot he is able to guage
matters with an accuracy distance
renders impossible.
The bond given to the Norman
Cameron syndicate on the Jumbo,
in which Mr.. Brown is interested,
expires April 10. Lane Gillian,
the representative of this syndicate
is now at the mine arranging for
further exploitation of the property
as soon as supplies can be obtained.
Z. r. Rigley started for the
Hump yesterday morning. Acting
as the representative of Spokane
capital he has been given a carte
blanche to acquire all the promis-
ing property at the Hump he is
able to induce the owners to part
with. Mr.. Rigley's opinion Of the
camp is not merely based on his
original discovery of the Big Buff
falo, but is notoriously optimistic
on account of the wonderful show
ing made by other properties ad-
joining this group and producing
values which threaten to throw
even the famous first location of
the Big Buffalo group into the
shade. A Portland capitalist who
has been in Graugeville for the
past week with an eye to obtaining
good Buffalo Hump property made
the statement yesterday that he
stands ready at any time to give
the purchasers Of the Big Buffalo
group sl5, 900 for their bargain.
