u. l. Porter, manager OF
the American Hill placers
was in town and left for Elk
Tuesday. Mr.. Porter who is
an energetic and successful
mining man, has unlimited
confidence in. the Elk City
district and expresses the
opinion that the opening up of
the Buffalo Hump mines will
do much in the way of bring
ing capital to Elk City. "At
present" said Mr.. Porter,
"the American Hill, Buffalo
Hill and Ternan Hill placers
are being operated success
fully, as we'll as Butter Bros.

started this year a month
earlier than last season. On
the American Hill our by.
draulic elevator is still running
satisfactorily and we are
running two giants and work
ing ten men. The returns SC
far this season are good. The
dredge has had lot of new
machinery installed this year
and is doing splendid work.
Asked in regard to ELI
City's famous quartz strike,
the free gold specimens from
which have electrified the
country. Mr.. Porter said h,
understood there was a dea
on for the property with ar
eastern firm, and that develop
ment work on an extensive
scale is planned.
Speaking of the opportunity
for capital to invest in placer
ground near Elk, Mr.. Porte
said: "There are miles Of

that has never been prospected
The bed as with the Amer
lean Hill ground is lower thar
the present channel and ele

it is more or less expensive

Concluding, Mr.. Porte
said: 1--WE have strong rea'
ons for believing that quart

around Elk city. In OF

Stuart Versus Stiles.

There is keen rivalry growing
between the village of Stuart and
Sites, the new town at the termi-
nus of the Clearwater road. The
other day rumor that important
railway concessions had been
granted to the terminal town
gained circulation in Stuart and
caused q considerable flutter in
real estate circles, but q counter
report to the effect that the story
was simply the creation of few
Spectators who wanted 10 bear
the market, soon restored the
public pulse to its normal con-
dition. Stuart is divided on the
Chinese question, the majority
being in favor Of keeping the
celestials out of the town altogether
but they seem to he unit in the
belief that Stuart is destined to be
the chief town in the district
outside Of Grangeville. The pro-
moters Of Sites, however, take a
different view. Mr.. Shannon has
already received applications from
nearly all the large firms operatin g
in the county for warehouse
privileges, and seems confident
that Sites will shine q brighter
star than its worthy rival Stuart,
or "KoOskia," the railroad name.
