Higher Price for Hay.

The farmers around Five Mile and
other sections of the county, are
selling their hay to sheep men, at a
price of IS per ton, and some are
holding for higher price. Ormsby
d Brown, who will feed large
number of sheep, have stated that
they want 5000 tons Of hay, and
wish to buy now. Last year, at this
season "a per ton was paid for clover
and alfalfa, and 81. SO for timothy.
There are several reasons for the
higher price this year. The crop is
not as large, being little higher
than two-thirds crop Oh the aver
age. 1t has been quite a dry season
on the sheep range and the ranges
are being closer fed. On this &C
count the sheep will be taken from
the range earlier. There will be q
less number kept on the range than
usual. IL 10 also said that the sheep
men are looking for a hard winter,
stating ~ . reason that several
winters Of late have been mild, and
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1901-08-08

in the natural course of things there
will be n change.
Another reason for the increased
price is more of demand for hay in
other sections. A good deal Of
timothy is being shipped to Boise.
One dealer is buying all he can get
and is bailing and shipping to the
western coast.
The yield of clover and timothy
in this section will be about the
same. On the bench land will be
about four tons per acre will be
secured from the two cuttings. The
alfalfa will yield about five tons for
the three cuttings, the second crop
of which is now ready to harvest

IRON DYKE AND RIVER QUEEN.
Force of Men Put to Work on These
Excellent Properties.

Seven Devils Standard
e.. W. Dudley was in town Tues
day from his ranch below Cuprum.
He reports that affairs are progress
ing satisfactory in his section and
that it has been unusually warm
there during the past few days. Mr..
Dudley called on the Standard while
here and informed us that the North
west Copper Co. has arranged matters
80 far as to be able to begin opera
tons at their Iron Dyke properties.
Five men started the work few
days ago and in all probability this
number will be increased soon. 1t
will be remembered that the North
west Copper Co. went IN the hands
of receiver some time ago and
while the matter has not yet been
entirely settled it is hoped to be
soon. MIR. Dudley also states that
Haas Bros. of Weiser, who own the
River Queen properties, will push
developments at the mine at once
Two men arrived Tuesday and one
of the Haas Bros. was expected to
arrive there Thursday to direct the
work. The River Queen promises
to rank among the leading producers.
The McDougal properties are now
hauling ore to Baker City for ship
ment, about 200 tons having been
shipped out during the past few
days. This entire shipment is Of
very high grade ore. Generally
speaking, Mr. Dudley says the out
look is very bright throughout that
entire district He returned home
Tuesday afternoon.

WILL ASK A SQUARER DEAL.
Patrons of Second Extension Ditch
Think Present Arrangement
Unfair.

Ranchers and land owners under
the Second Extension of the Payette
ditch are now ripe to ask of the
Payette Ditch Co. the privilege Of
being absorbed and thus become an
integral part of the parent company.
At present they must have shares
in three companies in order to obtain
water-the Payette Ditch Co., the
First Extension Co. and the Second
Extension Co. Shares in each is
800. Beside this inequality they
mustpay a full share of the assessment
Of each company. For instance, If
the assessment in each of the COM
panies should be $40 per annum,
those under the original Payette
ditch would pay $40; those under
the first extension would pay $40, and
those under the second extension
80; that is, a $40 assessment for
each of the companies. Of course
this is an injustice that must be
adjusted whenever proper applca-
ton to the courts is made. 1t is
simply one ditch under three dis
trlct arrangements, and they should
be consolidated without delay

COOKING BY GAS.
Mr. Ed Ashley Using 1t From His
150O-fOOt Well For Domestic
Purposes.

Across the Snake river opposite
Weiser lives rancher who uses gas
as a fuel from his own we'll. This
is Ed Ashley, and he has we'll
some 1900 feet deep that he has
bored. The expense was partly
paid by donations given by people
who hoped that artesian water would
be struck. At the depth mentioned
work was suspended, but it is hoped
that means will be provided to bore
about 500 feet deeper. 1t is thought
that gas in greater abundance, or
even oil, might be struck.

The Weiser Fruit Land & Invest
ment Co. has made it's first step in
the way of acquiring property for the
profit of stock holders. The Gilbert
tract of land three miles south of
Weiser has been secured at a bargain
of $1,000 for the 80 acres. 1t is
fine soil and is easily worth $50 per
acre when irrigated, and the COM
pany is now interesting itself in a
lateral ditch to be built from the
Second Extension Ditch Co.'S. canal
to irrigate all the land on. the west
side of the railroad track. The com
pany will probably cut this into ten
acre tracts and sell as soon as water
ed, but the land may be held to
back up cannery proposition with.
Should the company be successful in
getting cannery here this land can
be used as vegetable farm to sup
ply the plant Whatever is done
the directors have certainly made an
investment which will prove very
profitable, and the purchase is
strong recommendation for the com
pany's stock as a safe investment for
the man of small means who desires
to save few dollars to assist him
to home later on.

Al last week that the steamer Clutch, which was being lowed to Seattle by the Dir igo, had struck a rock and sunk in Wrangel Narrows. The report however, proved false one.
 The White Horse Star says that if the views of Gov. J. H. Ross, of the 4u- kon Territory, are to prevail at Ottawa, the present season will be the last upon which the royalty on gold will be col lected in the Klondike.
 The Ketchikan Steamship Company has purchased the steamer Alaskan at Seattle for the local run. She is new craft, 92 feet long, 19 feet wide, with carrying capacity of 138 tons and ac- commodations for 75 passengers.
 B. Hill, of Dawson, who is associ- ated with Chris. Bartsch, the big inter- for cattleman, received word the 18th inst. that Edward Daniel had skipped with S25,O0O of the firms money and reached Eagle City before being appre- hended.
 Bob Wright, we'll known character, made gun play at Dyea the other day. No gore was wasted. After he has had a heart to heart talk with the judge, Bob can figure with some degree of ac- curacy upon the cost of his style of emphasis.
 The Valdez News says that Alex. Singletary, proprietor of the Montana, returned from Slate Creek the first of the week. Alex. says things are all right at the diggings and that plenty of gold is being taken out. He brought out some ten pounds of dust.
 President Graves of the White Pass R. R., says he has no fears of the Valdez railroad being built, as the operating expenses would be too heavy to permit of it's being a profitable investment. We believe the w. P. potentate is taking refuge behind barricade of doubtful security.
 The longest mail route on land any where within the United States or any of it's possessions, is to be established next Decent Der in Alaska. This route will extend from Skagway to St. Mich ael, distance of 1,603 miles, by way of Dawson, Eagle, Star, Circle, Ram part, Tanana, Koyukuk, Nulato aud Eaton.
 The skagway Guide says good wood is selling at the foot of the hill for four dollars per cord. It costs you at least S1.5O to have it hauled into town and s to have it sawed, split and packed in, this would bring it up to se.5o, and yet there is question which is the most economical, coal at S13 per ton or wood at the price above quoted.
 The Skagway Guide soliloquizes thusly: Is it all wind or is it gigantic proposition to build railroad over the Chilkoot Pass to the interior? It IS said the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern and the Southern Pacific, one grand combination, of which Jim Hill is controlling factor, are now doing little preliminary work in this direction and already have their engineers in the field. The Guide does not say there is any truth in the rumor, but if there is nothing in it, then there is being one of the biggest gratis and fakes worked up that was ever sprung on this or any other community.

 The Ketchikan Journal says that some countries brag about tall grain and hay without considering that there are others. A stalk of timothy was pulled out of Gov.

There is no reason why fields of it will not grow here if only given chance.

The winner sold her to a trading company, who in turn sold her to the parties that operated her on the Victoria-Alaska run.
 A party of prospectors just returned from the district, say there are very few men in Teslin district and for days and days we never saw prospector. I don't suppose we met half a dozen men. Coming down the Hootalinqua, however, we met prospector after pros pector, rocking on the bars. There must be fully hundred of them and all seem to be taking out good grub stake, at least.
 The Valdez News says that the Mil Ter & Sanburg claim continues to be the banner claim on Slate creek. A few days ago they struck very rich streak in the creek bottom, and four men took out twenty pounds of gold in ten hours work, or five pounds to the man. The average out put of the claim for the en- tire season thus far has been from SlOOO to $500 day, but if a few more such strikes are made the average will be much larger.
 Several parties of experts have re- turned from their examination of the copper properties in the Chittyna and Tasnuna country. They confirm the report that immense lodges of copper azurite and bornite, running from 20 percent to 80 per cent in copper, exist in inexhaustible quantities in these dis tricts. The favorable reports of the engineers assure the building of the railroad from Valdez to Eagle, as these copper deposits can be tapped by short spurs from such line.
