Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1904-04-09

According to the Sites Jour
nal the people of that wide-a-
wake town, as we'll as those of
Clearwater, are going to do some
thing for the benefit of the road
to Elk City besides 'cussing"
the commissioners. The Journul
says:
1.-The road club committees of
the associations banded together
to construct the Stites-Clearwat-
er-Elk road report a most graft
flying result in their canvass for
aid. The canvass is scarce more
than half complete with nearly
sufficient funds to assure the
completion of the proposed road.
Not only is aid Forthcoming from
local business houses and farm
ers, but outside wholesalers are
freely contributing. The exact
amount of the subscription will
appear in next weeks Journal.
This road will be the first macad-
amized road in this part of the
state and deserves not only the
encouragement but the hearty
support of all property owners
adjoining this highway which it
freely secures. "
This is a decidedly encourag-
ing sign. 1t shows that the peo-
pie are awakening to the fact
that they can expect no help
from the board of county COM
missioners, but instead of becom-
ing discouraged they promptly
shed their coats and tackle the
problem themselves, and they
will succeed as is always the case
under such conditions. Let the
same spirit govern them when
selecting the next board of COM
missioners and the result will be
as gratifying.
Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1904-04-09

1t would often pay a mining
company, thinks the Mining and
Scientific Press, if they would
give their foremen and superin-
tendents leave of absence for
three months with all expenses
added besides full pay, and let
them wander around and get
''wised up" on other mems
methods of mining
ct sometimes happens" says
that journal, that when a mine
foreman or superintendent stays
a long time in one place without
the educational advantages of
travel he is liable to encourage
himself in the belief that he
knows it all and therefore be-
comes immune to more enlight-
ened and progressive ideas; he is
prone to believe that because his
particular system has been mea-
surably successful in the past
there is no reason why it should
not continue so, regardless of
changing conditions in the prop
erty, and for that matter" the
Press thinks that when he reach
es that very satisfactory frame
of mind ''he is fat enough to
KILL" and goes on with this COM
petent observation:
Everybody is wiser than any
body and no matter how exper-
fenced or wise or clever one may
be he can learn something by q
visit to the next mine, or county,
or state. If he has sat in one
little groove for ten or fifteen
years he cannot realize how mar
row he is or how far behind his
broader minded fellows who ira
vel around. 1t would pay him
and pay his employers to take q
tour of observation, for every
real progressive miner will die
learning, and when one ceases tc
learn he is dead, even if he does
not know it. -

Twain as a Miner .

An interesting letter has just been
discovered written by Mark Twain "a
years ago on the occasion of the meet
ing of the California Pioneers Associa-
ton at Delmonico's shortly after the
completion of the Union Pacific, says
the Pacific Coast Miner. Mr.. Clemens
at one time worked on the Virginia
City Enterprise, John Mackey's paper.
He also took turn at mining and the
letter read at the banquet deals with
his mining experience:
''Elmira, N. Y, October II, 1869. -
To the California Pioneers Gentlemen:

power to take advantage of the invita-
ton extended to me through Mr.. Sim
