New Mill Started,

Frank Brown, manager of the
Jumbo mine, came out from the
Hump last Friday and reports the
new 14-stamp mill on their prop
erty was started the previous Tues
day and was running perfectly.
They also have fitted up the mill
building to receive 20 stamps more
which will be installed next spring.
The Jumbo now has the most COM
plete plant in the camp and it is
only a question of short time
until they will be paying dividends.
For protection against fire they
have put in pipes and hose and
Mr.. Brown brought out a picture
showing three streams of water
playing on the building with
abundent pressure to reach any
point about the mill.
The snow has all disappeared in
the camp and everybody is rushing
their outdoor work preparing for
winter operations. A number of
good strikes have recently been
made among which he mentioned
Del REQ, Old Bill and Orofno.
The camp never looked SO promis-
ing and more work will be done
there this winter than in any like
period since it's discovery.

A Nice Compliment.

Judge Wallace F. Scales received
a telegram from North Carolina
last Friday requesting him to at
tend reunion ofnative Carolinans
at Greenboro that state on Oct. -
and respond to the address of well
come by the governor. The invi-

Judge Scales and shows that the
citizens of his native state apprec-

citizen. The expenses of the trip
had all been provided for and it
was with sincere regret that the

count of important legal business
which he has in the courts at the
present time.

Shameful Oppression.

We are informed by party who
has recently made trip into the
reserve that quite a stir has been
created on the forest reserve in and
about Elk City on account of the
action taken by the forest reserve
officials in notifying all the settlers
on or off the townsite that a thous-
and dollar bond is required of them
to entitle them to transact busi-
ness on the reserve. Resides this
the settlers are required to act as
game wardens, fight forest fires,
aud when they take a dead log
for any purpose notice is posted
on the same by official orders for
bidding it's use.
The informant claims that mill
ing is Kindred by these drastic
measures. The treatment of the
question we leave to the public

w. Cooper of the contracting firm
disagreed over the route the road
should take and both made hur-
ried trip to Boise last week to lay

to build too near the mouth of
