Shultz was paralyzed.
Now, it is a pretty art to make a
cigarette. He followed her motions
curiously. How judiciously she sifted
the tobacco into the followed groove!
How cleverly her fingers wound the
paper around the weed! How slim
her facile fingers were.
Suddenly, on her quick-moving fin
gers, he noticed a stain of yellow. A
calling load slipped from his out

The mule Shu1tz rode pricked up
its ears. Down the trail there loomed
an apparition. At first it looked like
a bundle of dirty, gay-colored rags
Then he saw it was a squaw.

thousand wrinkles.
Shultz had never seen creature so
uncouth and ptiabe. He thrust his
hand into his pocket.

She clutched it in her claw-like
hand. Her bright eyes glittered-it
might have been with gratitude. She
laid hold of his bride. Her quaver-
ing falsetto was lowered to an eager
whisper.
You know Mamie R? You know
him."
Shultz was startled. The Mamie r.
was the mine he had come to inspect
perhaps to buy. And it was not his
cnst : to advertise his mission.

With a warning shake Of her gray

Merchandise Barred.

The Idaho City News publishes
the following, which will be of in
terest to all merchants, and if true
will be as surprising as it is unjust.
1t says: Mr.. Silby informs us
that he has received instructions
from the postoffice department to
exclude all fourth class matter
from the mail racks on the Thun-
der mountain route just as soon as
the mail has to be taken in on a
mans back. Also not to allow
any more than an ordinary mail
to be placed in the sack.
Fourth-class mail is merchant
Use. 1t will be remembered that
last winter the Thunder Mountain
mail carriers were kicking because
they had to carry ore in their mail
sacks. 1t was, no doubt working
hardship on the carriers to have
to bsttle with the elements and lug
on their backs a quantity of rock
which thumped against their spincs
very regularly, it is admitted; but
the order shutting out merchant
Use will work a hardship on the
residents of Roosevelt. They are
American citizens, and as such are
entitled to all the rights and pri-
leges of any other citizen of the
United States.
When the present contractors
put in their bid for the carrying of
the Thunder Mountain mail they
surely knew that merchandise was
part of the mail matter they
would be expected to deliver.
Fourth-class matter is transported
on other routes, why not on this
one? Let the contractors put on
more men, if the load proves too
heavy for the present force. If
they took the contract too low and
are losing money on the PROPOSE
ton, whose fault is it? Surely not
the people of Roosevelt, but the
contractors themselves. 1t is not
right to deprive the Thunder
Mountain people of the privilege
to order by mail, merely to take
care of the interests of someone
who, by reason of a too low con-
tract price, discovers that he is up
against losing game.
"That portion of the instruc-
tions relating to an ordinary load
is eminently proper. The carriers
should not be loaded down, but
the Roosevelt people should enter
a vigorous protest against the cur
failing of their right to use the
United States mail the same az
other people. j"

The burning of the Black lake
cyanide mill is great loss to our
district and we hope to see the
plant rebuilt in the near future.
We suggest to the miners and
and prospectors of Rapid river that
in the future, when the cyanide
plant is again placed in running
order up at the head of the river,
it will be wise and perhaps save
loss of life to drink water from
some other stream or creek as the
burning of the mill turned large
quantities of cyanide into the river
and the banks are strewn with
dead fish for fifteen miles, and e.
L Hollingshead was strongly

has met with such success that

there is only about $4,000 more

mining companies Of Rapid river
district are willing 10 do all they
are able towards building the road i,
and if the merchants and business
men who depend largely upon the
mines for their livelihood will

opened for another great source of

RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION.

1t is reported that the business
men and miners of Elk City are
preparing to take united action
this fall to secure the withdrawal
of that district from the forest re.
serve. 1t is said that at the pres
ent time in order to get wood OF
any kind from the reserve, the
miner must apply for permit. In
due time his application is re-
turned with blank bond to the
government for $500 or $1,000, and
accompanying it is set OF 10 rules
or more to which he must sub
scribe. These rules require him
to report any violations OF the
game laws which come under his
notice; to fight forest fires any
time, day or night; to har5or no
evil minded person, and that he
will treat the reserve officials with
respect.
Such conditions have aroused
righteous indignation among the
people and they are certainly justi-
fed in protesting. Men who 60
into the unexplored sections OF our
country to develop its resources
and dig out lite hidden treasure in
the face of almost unsurmountable
obstacles should not be further
hampered by the endless red tape
of civil authorities. There is not
one man in ten engaged in earn
ing a livelihood on the reserve but
what is more sincerely interested
in the preservation Of the forests
than are the officials who control
it. Timber is necessary to the
success Of every enterprise and the
prospector and miner can be de-
pended upon to guard it from will
full destruction, and it is an insult
to his honor to require him to
sign long list of iron clad obi
cations before he is permitted to
cut tent pole or stick of fire wood.
