Village Finances.

Village Finances.
The financial affairs Of the VIII
lage OF Grangeville are in excellent
shape, aud there are revenues
enough in sight by end of the cnr-
rent quarter and fiscal year to
Justify the statement that the in
debtedness will be reduced nearly,
if not quite one-half. This, in the
face Of "a material loss Of revenue
from licenses, is a showing which
reflects credit upon the board OF vii
lage trustees, and demonstrates to
the taxpayers that the present
board have conducted the village
affairs upon an eminently conserv-
alive basis. In another year, pre-
viding no unexpected sources OF
new expense are discovered, the vii
lage will be entirely free from debt,
and as matter Of course, there
will be corresponding reduction
of taxation. For some time past
the police force of the village has
consisted of only two men. The
sidewalks are in good shape, law
and order are enforced to a degree
which few villages in the west are
able to maintain. and we believe
that nobody would care to revert to
the old days when there was no
village incorporation.

Geo. S. Bailey was in town last
week en- route to his home in
Charleston after visit to his Black
Jack quartz mine on Salmon river,
where he let contract for an adj
ditional $50 feet of tunnel work.
There is nearly 600 feet of tunnel
on this property, giving a depth of
300 feet and showing immense
bodies of ore. Mr.. Bailey contem-
plates installing "a ten-stamp mill
on the mine this summer, but this
is not definitely determined on.
On the Mckinley mine, situated
on the same ledge as the Black
Jack, contractors are still at work
opening up the property with good
results. The ownership of this
mine is supposed to be in the hands
of " ealthy Occur d'Alene men, and
there are rumors that mill equip
ment is to be put on this season.
At any rate they have a 12-foot
vein of good gold ore, and it is
regarded as one of the future
bonanzas of the Salmon river
quartz belt.
