Prospects OF = Custom MIL
From reports heard from Spokane and
among the mine operators here IL begins

tom NIL viii be an assured fact. Mention
was made about thee weeks ago regarding
the visit here Of Mr. ]. F. Lansing. we'll
known mill man from Butte. Mont, who
made thorough examination of the Diff
ferent mines and the character OF the
ores found here. He gathered most of his
information from the managers OF the
larger mine owners regarding the amoun,

most suitable to reach the mines with
paying ore. water facilities, etc He was
informed with great assurance that he
could be supplied with twenty-five tons
per day with no trouble at all. This being
the figure he deemed necessary for a
starter NJ. X. Gaiusha, weii-known
mining man of Spokane, and gentleman
heavily interested here, sen. word to his
agent the other day that II was an as

here this fall. and he had no doubt that

the question and that Spokane and Mon

San Poll Road Opened.
George Curry, the county auditor. has
the honor of being the first party To drive
from Wilbur through continuously to Re-
public. He left there Thursday after
noon at o'clock and arrived at Keliers
al o'clock He left keiers at O'Clock
in the morning OF Friday and arrived
here about 5 O'Clock in the evening. He
had a private hack with his family of six
persons and a driver. He reports the
road la fine order TO kellers. but the
route from this point to the West Forks
has about two miles OF rather rough
road. but after some use 1t will be all
right. There are very few hills along
the route. and he says the scenery is
something inspiring.
