Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1904-07-02

People of Elk City, when they
took up the question of forest re-
serve restrictions, and abuses, in
their own behalf as we'll as in
behalf of the contiguous districts,
asked that a scope of territory
comprising about 5000 square
miles be withdrawn from the
Bitter Root forest reserve, and
restored to the public domain.
The administration has graciously
granted them less than three
townships, for which, no doubt,
we ought to feel grateful; for
when we recall the Indifference
and skepticism of our neighboring
camps and certain acts of treach-
cry by residents of our own dis
trlct, we are surprised that we
got as much as we did. The
principal reason for congratula-
ton, as it appears to the MINING
NEWS, lies in the palpable fair
mindedness of the administration
in ignoring the lack of public
spirit on the one instance and the
mlsdirected zeal in the other, and
giving at least partial recognition
to the American idea of progress
as the people of Elk City under
stand it, by allowing them to
work out their own destiny with
out let or hindrance by the federal
government. This line Elk City
will follow, thanking the admin
istration for even such small rec
ognition, and thanking Heaven it
was not smaller.

that the true course of the vein or iooe
in question runs easterly and westerly
instead of northwesterly and southeast
erly through the Bunker Hill claim' anu
crosses the lines originally located as
the end lines of that claim, and even II
its course through the Bunker Hill clam
be as found by the master, its width IS
far greater than found by him and IN
fact extends outside of and beyond the
westerly boundary of that claim, orig
inally located as one of its end lines and
now treated as its westerly side line.
The conclusive answer to all of this is
that above indicated, viz: that the ind
ings by the master, made, in this IN
stance, upon evidence that is decidedly
conflicting, and approved by the court

below, are against the appellants upon
these points. But it may be added that
even if the vein or lode be as extensive
in width upon the surface as contended
by the appellants, the priority of the
Bunker Hill claim over those here in
controversy being here established. the
extralateral right of the appellee would
remain as fixed and determined by the
decree of the court below. Empire

The Elk City Board of Trade is
in receipt of a communication
from the people of Sites, in which
the gratifying intelligence is con-
veyed that they are prepared to
cooperate with the people of Elk
City in any enterprise looking to
the advancement of their mutual
interests; particularly, the i'm
provement of the Stites-Elk City
wagon road. The proposition
came through N. B. Pettibone,
one of Idaho county s most public
spirited, progressive citizens, and
a stanch friend Of Elk City.
The people Of this camp will,
no doubt, meet their enterprising
neighbor to the full extent of
their resources in this or any
other enterprise which makes for
the advancement of this hitherto
neglected section of Idaho county.

Patrick Clark-he of the cold
feet-has thrown up his various
bonds in Goldfeld, Nevada, and,
according to press reports, has
shaken the dust Of that promis-
ing camp off his frigid extremities
and is now headed for Arizona,
where, it is hoped, he will find
the temperature suitable to his
needs.
Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1904-07-02

G. M. Day, supervisor of the
Bitter Root forest reserve, in a
letter to Superintendent Fem re-
lating to the elimination of por-
tons of Elk City and Buffalo
Hump mining districts from the
reserve, is quoted in the Lewiston
Tribune as saying he is glad to be
rid of both places. The super
visor is candid, if not polite; how
ever, as the satisfaction is mutual
we have no right to complain.
The only kick the people of these
two camps have coming is that
we are not rid of enough of the
official Mr.. Day. Socially we
would like to have Cash" with
us always.

Staggering off, lighted ci-

John Bush, known as Black
Jack, for a placeto sleep, he
soon entered Henry Miller's
barn, back of the cigar store,

In a few minutes sent hum

OF the. building, and al

rushed to- the scene at the
quick calb of the alarm bell
yet it was too late, for the
man in, a drunken stupor
had been burned to death,
,unmindful Of the devouring
flames, while below him five

Walter Haefs, ha3 burned
TO death.
The ire company quickly
flooded the building with
water, and it. did not fall, al
though its value was de-
stroYed.
Heroic efforts were made
by the first ones on tie
scene to rescue the unfoTtu-
nate. man and The horses
from the hames, but the

making a dense smoke made
it impossible to enter the

quickly, without being bad

After it became safe to
investigate the ruins, the
dead man was removed to
the city caliboose where he
lay until the following Mon
day afternoon when the
county authorities buried
him IN the cemetery south
of the track. He was bur
led without funeral rites.
The victim of the tragedy
came here with Gollmar's
circus hast June. He was
most poorly clad then and
slept in freight cars and
barns. Plenty of work at
high wages was offered him
aud he did work with the
cement gang off and on and
at other jobs, but his money
went for liquor, while he
continued to sleep in barns
and eat where lunches were
free. He was a peaceable
fman, and seldom talked. TO

had seen better days, that
lin one OF the near eastern
states he once had a wife
