THE YANKEE FORK.

John |. Minear, superintendent
of the Yankee Fork property on
Mt. Estes. spent several days of
last week in ChalIis on business
in connection with his company.
Reports from the famous old
Yankee Fork show that that mine
is more than holding its own,
and as development work pro-
crosses the mine is showing
larger and better ore bodies.
Some Of the best ore encounter
ed is found in the bottom of tie
shaft. which proves that the
mine is better as depth is attain
ed. Taking it on the whole the
old Yankee Fork property never
looked better than at this time.
There is a large force of men
now at work at the mine, mill
and outside work. The manage
ment have been delayed some
what on account of the delay in
the arrival of the machinery for
their new 10-stamp mill, but now
as it is on the road. they hope to
have it placed and in readiness
to begin active operation by the
Goth of next month, for every
thing is in readiness to install
the machinery upon its arrival.
AS it is the latest improved min
ing and milling machinery, es-
pecislly adapted to treat shat
chaIa acter of ore. we look a great
production of precious metals
from the old Yankee Fork.

A farmer living among the
crocky hills of the state of Maine,
having an eye to business, recent
ly sent to Helena postmaster a
sample of rock, accompanied by
the following letter
Dear Sir Il will send you a
few words to tell you that l am
sending you a kind of rock that
/ have found on my farm. / send
you that rock to ask you if you
can find what kind of stuff there
is in that rock. think there is
something in it l have found it
on my farm and it weighs about
80 pounds. | have foEnd that
kind of rock quite often here,
and that / have been informed to
send it to you to see if you can
tell me what there is in it, and if
you find there is something good
in it, and if you want to have it,.
| will sell it 10 you, and you
postmaster will you be kind
enough to send that letter to the
foundry where they manufacture
the gold. Please give it to them
as soon as possible. l hope to
hear from soon"
The kind postmaster at Helena,
gave the sample TO Mr.. Fisk, the
assayer. Mr.. Fisk assayed the
rock for gold. silver, etc. and
finding it of no value sent him
the certificate with the following
remarks
Your rock has no precious
metals in it. However, it coa-
tains seven distinct varieties OF
hititrites. These being of nc
commercial value about the only
thing the stone is good for il

A PAINFUL ACCIDENT.

Mrs. Geo. Clark, of Iowa, who
is visiting in Challis, with rela-
tives, Mr.. and Mrs. Ebberts and
family and Mrs. DeMoss, met
with a very painful accident last
Friday afternoon. A party com
prising Mr.. and Mrs. Ebberts,
Mrs. George Clark and Mrs.
Frank Hall. had gone down to
what is known as Watts bridge,
on Salmon river, for a fishing
excursion. They had no more
than got their team cared for
and were just crossing the bridge
to the good fishing grounds. when
band of cattle charged through
the brush as though they were
also going to cross the bridge.
The ladies became frightened and
jumped off the west approach of
the bridge. Mrs. Clark landed
in the rocks some two or three
feet below, breaking the .fbutd.
bone of her right leg. She was
brought to Chailis at once and
DIR. Huston reduced the fracture.
1t is a bad fracture, and will be
at least six weeks before Mrs.
Clark will be able to be out.

instances in which the Herald
has resorted to low and dirty
journalism in its endeavor to
gain a point. We publish the
above merely to show how low
the Herald will resort and dis
tort an article in an endeavor to
make it appear that some other
person is its author. Our dear

almost anything unbecomiug, and
especially from newspaper that

somewhat excited over the discovery
of natural gas. About two years ago a
farmer named Pitcher, living about
three miles northwest of the city.
