People living in the Meadows state
that times have been ''midling" there

ton fails to disclose anything dis
couraging, other than that the UNI
usual season has brought All early
frost which has touched the oat crop
somewhat and ut time when every
bushel is needed to supply the mar
ket, the going price being two cents
per pound. Dairy products and pro-
duce has had good cash market in
Warren and other mining districts
and cattle have sold ut top figures,
and residents generally have done
fairly well and while, owing to various
causes, there has not been quite as
much life as usual this summer, the
business stability of the the place is
unimpaired and the future outlook is
the best possible The building OF

MIDDLE VALLEY MOVING.
Signs of Progress and Prosper
ity Everywhere,

Middle valleyis looking fine this fall
and gives every evidence of advance
ment and development. From the
top of Middle valley hill one seems
to see larger acreage of green fields,
meadows and gardens. Homes are
clustering closer to each other and
grow more thrifty. Great hay ricks
and straw stacks show that the pro-
duct of the field has been up to the
average at least; fat cattle and farm
animals and poultry indicate full
some existence and what is the best
feature, there Is first class market
for all at the railroad camps.
The P. & N. grade stretches
completed, through the whole length
of the vale and tell of wonders yet to
be for this choice part of the country.
Near the steel bridge the grade has
been widened for side tracks and a
depot.
The Rocky Mt. Telephone line is
also stretched through the valley to
the Weiser canyon.
At the bridge there is tent "sa-
loon" and also convass covered
"grocery store" while other tents In
clusters along the river show where
railroad laborers are located.

the valley, is fat and happy as eve

WONDERFUL WARREN.
Famous Old Mining Camp Has a
Future Greater Than Its Past

While the summer has appeared some
what dull to the residents of Warren,
owing to the fact that everyone has been
stampeding to the numerous new strikes
at some distance in the surrounding
mountains, still ii is very evident that the
career of the place as a quartz district has
Just begun, and that those who have
stayed with the camp for years do not vet
know what they have there, and there
is every indication that the next two
years will make it the greatest gold dist
riot in the state.
AS an instance, Messrs Gubbart q
Stewart of Spokane, have Just purchased
The Silver King mine, an old claim one
of the Oldest in the camp, which has
on which tunnel was run years ago and
and Il rich chute Of 500 ounce silver ore
stoned out to the surface. Mcssrs Stew
art q Gabbart discovered that the entire
hanging wall of the old workings was
simply a parallel chute of $50 per ton
gold ore; they discovered that the pile of
quartz boulders piled up around the end
stake of the claim were gislening with
gold which had for years escaped the
notice Of those working the mine, in fact
they prospected the old claim and found
| it to be one of the bonanzas of the camp
The Little Giant continues TO be the
leading mine in the camp and the recent
additions of pumps, percussion drills and
other improvements makes it equal in
equipment TO any mine in the state
Harry Shelter has inaugurated n tele-
phone service which is an innovation in
mining and one that would appear indis-
pensible under modern advancement.
Instruments have been placed down in
the mine, in The hoist house the mill and
the office, thus permitting immt diale
communication throughout all depart
ments. and il has been found invaluable

Il smiled. said that would try. and gave
orders minute later to get the brig up in

for 1t was nearly midnight then. We snugged
the little craft up against the wharf. opened
her matches. and inserted three full-sized
srouts leading from wel-flled bins in the top
OF the elevator. All the employees understood
what the joke was to be and they decided to
break record. Everything was ready for the
loading half hour after Capt. Doncelo went
to his berth hut we had concluded to let him
get fast asleep before going on with the Joke.
1T was an hour and half after the Captain
had disappeared that the power was turned on
and second later thousands Of bushels of
grain went lrushnR from the blns INTO the
hold OF the little craft. The boat listed heav-
ily for n moment and threatened to oyerturn;
but the grain slid over to the centre and righted
the ship. Down rushed the grain, through the

The Mill Creek Tragedy.


More definite news of the Mill
Creek tragedy reached here Sun
day, and early this morning Off
GERS Garrett and Booker left for
the scene.
Some weeks ago Jim Williams,
proprietor of a Joint" at Mill
Creek, was before Judge Bradford
on a charge of grand larceny.
The evidence was sufficient to war
rant the reference of the case to
the grand jury, and Williams fur
nished bond. He accused the wit
nesses openly of swearing falsely
against him, and trouble arose,
with the final result of Williams
being killed a few nights ago
while on his way home from his
place of business. John Kennedy,
jerome Brown, Walter Homer and
- Hays are accused of doing
the fatal shooting.
