CLEARWATER COUNTRY.
F. E. JohneSSe Joins in Praise
of the Prospects of this

Representative +. +. Johnesse

hurried one but he saw a couple OF
prospects of which he has high
opinion.
They have some large lodges
there that look uncommonly good, "
said Mr.. Johnesse this morning.
They appear heavily mineralized
with strong indications of copper.
If appearances count for anything
they should carry gold. There
are quite a number of prospectors
down there and the country is pref
~ well located.
"There isl chance that splen-
did properties will develope down

that the ore at the bottom of the
Big Buffalo had never looked bet

there was a large quantity of black

IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS
4 Number Of New Enterprises Backed BY
Local Capital and Energy.

hVV3l VuPitA 0AU o0Vl 6ys
1t is safe to say that the coming
summer and fall viii see a number
of new enterprises spring into be-
ing in the immediate vicinity OF
Grangeville.
Under the present unconscious
conditions with a wealth OF lumber
at our doors, window frames,
mouldings, brackets and door
sashes are shipped from Spokane,
Portland on Seattle. "A planning

servoir will bring these essentials
to our doors, cut thei- rost in half,
keep the money At home and give
employment to lar,- number of
men. This fact only had to be
pointed out to III. Orchard by the
architects Douglass & Kronnick
for that gentleman to at once get
to work and take steps to interest
capital in the undertaking.
Lime costs from 50 to Sc q bar
rel delivered in Grangeville, some
times more as freight rates from
Lewiston fiuctuate. There is an
abundance Of excellent lime stone
within a short distance both on
the Clearwater and Salmon rivers,
A company is now in the process
Of organization to establish kilns
and burn lime for home consump-
ton. The Importance of this step
canpot be overestimated. The
price Of lime will drop to 81. 30 per
barrel, and encourage the cutting
of lath. Lath and plaster will
take their proper place in the con-
struction Of buildings, and a differ
ent class Of building will be the
rule in Grangevillc from that time.
The use of plaster and lath work
has also the additional advantage Of
being far less infiammable than
bare boards, and is much warmer.
At present the cost Of lath in Lew
iston is about SO per thousand, and
81 by the time it gets here in good
weather. II cut close to town the
price will drop to about $2.5O de-
livered.
If there is good limestone, it Ger
tainly follows that there is good
building stone for foundation pur-
poses, steps, door-sills and window
stills. The architects mentioned
above state that they are now
working on plan of building in
which cut stone is largely used.
This stone will have to be obtain
ed somewhere, and immediate
steps are being taken towards it's
discovery close by.
With il good and cheap supply
of lime the brick-making industry

BUSY ON THE BIG BUFFALO
1uch Work Planned on the Concord and
San Francisco.

The Buffalo Hump correspond
ent OF the Review, located in the
camp itself, sends in matter from
headquarters containing no men,
ton OF discouraging rumors, but
on the contrary his contribution is
exceedingly optimistic in tone.
Dated April 9th in camp he says:
Several heavy snow falls during
the past few days tend to maxi
life as unpleasant as possible fos
the poor prospectors who have
gathered in here ahead of the prop
err time. The snow is as deep on
the Hump now as it has been at
any time this winter.
In spite of adverse weather con-
ditions, preparations for active
work are going forward on many
claims. Crow & Gibbon have taxi
en- a contract to sink a shaft so
feet on the Concord, owned by Jim
Turner and Brig Young. This il
a promising claim which lies about
two miles south Of the Big Buffalo.
Preparations are being made for
starting work upon the San Fran
cisco group which has recently
been bonded to English capitalists
for $75, 900 by Messrs. Doris, Jar
ron, Flack and Lepler The same
men have bonded the Bachelor
claim to Norman < Cameron of
Spokane for SO, 900 and the Grub
stake to Captain De Lamar's agent
for $40, 900. These claims are all
about a mile and half south of
the Big Buffalo.
Captain DE Lamar's agent has a
bond on the Winslow and it is un-
derstood will commence develop
ment Immediately. The bond is
said to be for $50, 900. The Wins
low is about three-quarters of
mile north of the Big Buffalo and
is quite likely on the north extern
sion of the Big Buffalo lead. The
claim has a 15-foot vein and is con-
sidered one of the best showings in
the camp.
Clayton Miller of Spokane is in
the camp looking after the interests
of the Big Buffalo company. The
company is pushing the construct
ton OF the mill on Winslow creek
and is sinking at the rate of three
feet q day on the Big Buffalo vein.
Twenty-Five men are employed at
the mine and the force will be in
creased ms soon as development
has progressed far enough to make
the employment of more men feas-
ible.
Brown & Co. have their stock of
goods moved in from Badger l.,
Winslow canyon and will remove
the stock to their new store on th,
TOWNSHIP within few DAYS.

He says that the plan Of sending

far from satisfactory. These boys
are most coldly received by the
blanket Indians. and as a result the
educated ones soon take to their for

The enemies Of expansion are very
fond Of quoting "A clause from thedec-
laration of Independence: THAT gov
ernments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed"
This clause, like that other famous
clause from that document, that all
men are born equal" are id,nlisms
supposed to have been borrowed by
Thomas Jefferson from his friend
Thomas Paine and inserted bodily
into the declaration. Neither of these
phrases are statute law nor IA part OF
the constitution. The latter phrase
that all men are born equal il not
true. except in "A very limited sense.
Both phrases were adopted ut atime
when many slaves existed in this
