LOADS OF LIME,
fFielin6 Tefsely Tells the faA Tes-
tityius to His Triumphant
Discovery,

A kiln on Calkins' Clearwater
claim will soon be burning. After
q good deal of prospecting and ex-
perimenting it has now become an
assured fact that Grangeville will
be burning and consuming her own
lime within the next three weeks.
Architect Douglass, as already
reported, made some in designations
last week, but was unable to find
stone easily accessible. Contractor
Terteling appears to have been
more fortunate. He has discovered
a large wall of limestone four and
a half miles above Harpster.
This morning Mr.. Terteling
started for the Clearwater and will
at once proceed to build . kiln with
a capacity of 800 bushels. This is
merely starter, and more kilns
with greater capacities will be
built in the near future.
The stone lies on a quartz claim
owned by AL. Calkins. This en-
ables the kilns to be built and
worked without danger of interfer-
ence from settlers.
I'm fifteen days" said Mr.. Ter
terling, this morning, "I shall have
lime thoroughly burned and ON the
market. The stone is Of splendid
quality, free from impurities or
rock of different structure to lime.'
Is there much of it? was asked.
"a whole mountain. Enough
to last this county 80 years." was
the answer.
