Tactics Of Some Reserve Officials.

It now transpires that the prosecut-
ing witness in the recent ejectment
proceedings begun against w. R. Bull
lock, is li@ble to find himself in a jack
pot if a certain piece of information as
given in the MINING NEWS is correct.
In the light of this information, which
we are not permitted to give out at
present, it would seem to US THAI this
suit is the direct outcome of petty NAL
ice, engendered in a little mind, and
brought to head by the good natured
contempt with which the lordly preten-
tentions of certain reserve Officials"
was treated.
Let the reader conceive, if he can,
what his own state of mind would be,
if he received orders, mind, not a re-
quest, to the effect that he must not
build a fence or put any other improve
ment he saw fit upon his mineral loca-
ton, or be compelled to listen to the
assertion Of an impertent ignoramus to
the effect that his ground was not min
eral, or as was the case of the Ameri-
can Eagle company, the said ''official
remained carefully out of sight until the
company had cut and RATED several
thousand stulls several miles and had
them banked, when he made his appear
ance and confscated the pile. We are
credibly informed the stulls were haul
ed during another period of retirement.

FIRE ASSAY TIE BEST.

The Engineering and Mining Journal
says: The vitality of a fallacy is pro-
verbally great; one of the toughest ap
pears to be the notion that a process
can exist which will extract, profitably
and on working scale, more gold than
can be determined in an ore by the fire
assay. The name of Beam has been
associated with such claims for a great
many years. By reference to our files
we find that in 1888 and again in 1897
the Beam process was made the subject
of statements the absurdity of which
was exposed in these columns. By the
use of a muffie of special design and by
the admixture of salt and sawdust
more gold was claimed to be extracted
from ores than was detected by careful
fire assay; several moribund mining en-
terprises were to be rejuvenated by
Mr.. Beams alchemy and vast bodies of
low grade ores were to be rendered
profitable.
AS was pointed out at the time, the
emphasis on the inaccuracy of the ordi-
nary assay means one thing to the
technical man who understands that
there are limits to human skill, but it
conveys a wholly false notion to the
public, who are led to the belief that
the limit of error is big enough to rep
resent a margin of profit for any meth
cd which can do little better, even on
ores usually discarded as so poor as to
be beneath the reach of ordinary pro-
cesses. AS matter of fact. the fire
assay, when properly conducted, ex-
ceeds in accuracy any of the ordinary
methods of ore reduction, and when a
smelter, for instance, extracts an ag-
gregate OF gold greater than that paid
for, an assay of samples representing a

The TOPEKA GROUP.

In conversation with the NEWS man
the Steclner section, Len
Koen said in answer to a question re-
garding his own property:
eyes, myself and G. L. L. Baskett
own a group of claims over there and
is known as the Topeka Nos. and 2
and Wild Rose Nos. and 2. The
claims lie two deep and are traversed
their entire length by two distinct
lodges. The development work con-
sists of numerous crosscuts, one 40 foot
tunnel, which has not reached the ledge
as yet, 40 foot shaft from the bottom
of which drift is run twenty-five feet,
which intersects the ledge, which shows
a width of ten feet and carries good
values. We join the Hercules group,
which is under bond to Spokane capi-
talists, This bond expires the first OF
March unless taken up, which no doubt
will be done. The Topeka group car
be worked to depth of 300 feet by 6
tunnel of 600 feet in length.

A TRIP TO THE LE ROY.
MINING News Representative Makes it and Tells What He
Saw.-Has an Immense Body of Ore.-Mll Will be
Completed by the First of June

While on trip up in the Crooked
river country during the week for the
of spying out the land, the
MINING News man drifted into the LIE
Roy camp where, true to the instincts
of the genus prospector, he had hoped
to arrive-in time for dinner, hope, by
the way, which nearly failed, owing to
a difference in time of which the scribe
was ignorant. However, "all's well
that ends we'll.
Superintendent Hye, with his accus-
toned courtesy, showed the reporter
around, pointing out the development
work accomplished or under headway.
The main tunnel upon which he is work.
ing two shifts extends into the hill
about two hundred feet with present
depth of one hundred feet. Should
existing conditions obtain for another
two hundred feet it will demonstrate
the surprising fact that there is a veri-
table mountain Of low grade ore there.
There are also two adits extending
east and west respectfully from the
main tunnel, thus demonstrating that
the ore body is at least one hundred
feet wide. Mr.. Hye states that this
ore pans nicely and that the entire body
gives an average assay value of $4 pei
ton. AS stated in former issue, this
group consists of nine claims, all Of

large number of ore shipments, this re-
suit is due to the cumulative effect of
minute quantities scattered throuh a
number of lots, some of which contain
gold below the minimum on which, ac-
cording to contracts any payment is al
lowed. In the same way, certain lead
ores in the crude state may not carry
enough silver to be appreciable, yet
what there is may become so concen-
trated in the pig lead as to yield not
able silver content, warranting eXtrac
tion by subsequent refining.
At the present time the Beam pro-
cess is the mainstay of a mining excite
ment in the Wichita mountains, in Okla
homa. The Roosevelt Record supple
ment contains assays of samples calcu-
lated to encourage ficticious hopes. AS
a matter of fact, government experts
have recently examined, with great
care, a large number of the best devel-
oped prospects in the region referred
to, trying in each case to get fair sam
pies of the presumed ore, and, when
nothing at all appeared to be of value,
they secured, from the owners, samples
of the same sort as those in which the
Beam assayers had found values, Up
wards of 800 pounds of samples were
shipped to Washington and Il separate
assays were made; large quantities
were used and every possible precau-
tion was taken, yet not a trace Of gold
was found in any one of the samples.
The whole excitement appears to be a
fraud of the first water, and we would
warn persons who might be misled by
statements such as those emanating
from the township which is doing dis
honor to an honorable name.

which, it appears, carries good values.
The LIE Roy No. 2, however, is the only
one upon which extensive development
work has been done. The group is
we'll timbered and endowed with all
natures facilities for operating upon
an extensive scale. The machinery
for the mill is nearly all upon the
ground and it is intended to begin ac-
tive construction at once and it is the
intention to have the stamps dropping
about the first of June. In speaking of
the LIE Roy's acquisition of the Home
stake Mr.. Hye said:
eve have made the initial payment
on this property and expect to get to
work in about six weeks, we are mere
ly waiting for Mr. Plummer to make
his final report to the company. There
are two tunnels run on the ledge. No.
is in 315 feet and No. is in 450 feet,
with distance of seventy-five feet be-
tween levels. The ledge varies in width
from eighteen inches to six feet and
shows good safe values throughout.
The surface work consists of large
number of crosscuts which shows the
ledge up for good distance.
''This property was located by Pen
man and Yetter in 1894 and has been
held by those gentlemen ever since and
to whom great credit is due for their
energy and perseverance,

road house in this district was reasoned
with and bull dozed in turn by all and
several of the officials in turn, from and
the superintendent, the super
visor and the head ranger to the last
joined third class ranger, to the end
that he take out a permit to do what
the constitution of his country already
permitted and guaranteed-the right to
establish home and make an honest
living.
Well, this man, for the sake of peace,
applied for he permit, signed the bond
as published in these columns, only to
find himself practically reduced to peon-
age. For example, he related to the
writer, the following incident: A man
named Puelz established a saloon in the
the same locality as the road house and
being of sturdy stock himself, he re-
fused to apply for permit. Now for
the sequel. Those worthy officers whom
Mr.. Fem says does so much good, in
an obstrusive way, did not attack the
saloon keeper because Of his refusal to
take out q permit. Learning that he
was running a saloon without a county
license, they ordered the keeper of the
road house to make a formal complaint
against him, threatening upon his re-
fusal to play the part OF tool, to re
woke his permit and expei him from the
reserve. How the matter was finally
worked out does not transpire. The in
cident is merely related to show what
opportunities from harm are sometimes
impulsively placed in irresponsible
hands and how ready the average re-
serve official is to usurp the powers of
regularly constituted authority.

THE SCHEDULE COMPANY.
A Meeting of The Stockholders Held
in Crdngeville Last Saturday.

Below we publish the report of the
annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Schedule Gold Mining and Milling
company which was furnished us by the
secretary, 1. C. Hattabaugh:
On February 19, 1904, the annual
meeting of the stockholders Of the
Schedule Gold Mining and Milling com
pany, limited, was held in Grangcville,
Idaho, at the Office of the secretary. A
majority of the stockholders wece pres
ent in person and the work of the past
six months was gone over, the reports
Of the secretary and treasurer were
taken up and viewed at length, the re-
port of Manager Mark Howe was dis
cussed and all reports were approved,
which showed considerable development
work during the past six months with
very satisfactory showing. In fact the
stockholders were very enthusiastic
with the showing made.
The stockholders elected the follow
ing board of directors: DIR. S. E. Bib
by, Mark Howe, Frank McMillen, Johr
Mullinix and J. E. Beede. The stock
holders meeting then adjourned anC
the board of directors met and organ
lied by electing DR.. S. E. Bibby, pres
ident; J. E. Beede, of Harpster, vice
president; I. C. Hattabaugh, secretary
and treasurer; Mark Howe, manager.
The board decided to proceed to drive
another tunnelon what is known as tbs
big ledge, and also to continue the tun
mel on the small ledge, which has beer
opened up for distance of 98 feet
showing good values.
There are four well defined ledges ol
the Schedule group, all of which hav'
been thoroughly tested and the result
satisfactory. While the showing is no
large, like the Imperial Corona" it i
enough to warrant further development
and the board is positive that there is
sufficient amount of ore to justify tn
erection Of a mill and that it will pay.

TO THUNDER MOUNT AIN
Thos Hye, of Dixie Who is Familiar With the Elk City Dixie
Route Says it is the Only Practical One.-Is Passabe
at all Seasons of the Year. No Snowslides

can be kept open at all seasons of the
year. 1t is the only way that Thunder
mountain can be reached without cross
irg high range that is at some time
of the year impossible. The difference
between this route and any route that
must cross the Elk creek summit is IL
lustrated by the following incident:
A registered letter mailed at Dixie,
on October 20, 1908, reached the Roose-
velt postoffice on December IL, as
shown by the postmarks on the post
masters return card. During the
month of November Mr.. Churchill made
two trips from his ranch on the Salmon
river to Roosevelt; each time taking
pack train and a loa1 o. vee- tables.
He experienced no difficulty whatso-
ever in making the trips. Yet the
route over which they were endeavor-
ing to get the Thunder mountain mail
was in such condition that it was i'm
possible to get the mail through.
Another important feature Of this
route is that all danger from snowslides
are obviated. After reaching the top Of
the hill beyond Salmon river, the trail
follows along the ridges and creeks
through a well timbered country where
snowslides are impossible.
If the camps along Smith creek and
Big creek develops as now seems prob
able, they too will be entitled to mail
facilities. While number of different
routes can be selected between the
Salmon river and Roosevelt, one Of
the best routes follows Smith creek
down to Big creek, thus reaching all OF
these growing camps with one route.
The people along the Salmon river
too are entitled to mail facilities. AT
present they have to come to Dixie fol
their mail The establishment of 9
postoffice at some point alone the river
would be of material benefit to those
who live along the river.
If reason and good judgment be ex
ercised and the best interest of all con
cerned be considered in the selection
2 of mail route, the very nature of tht
country will preclude the selection O.
, any route except the Elk City-Dixi'
route. Heretofore local interests have
predominated, and the government ha
: been induced to establish a mail rout,
= where it was impossible to keep th'
trail open in winter; while this; tn
/ natural and ONLY practical route ha
been overlooked; perhaps because Of
e lack of united effort to present its mer
e its to the proper authorities, Now tha
a a new route must be selected we owe
= to those brothers who are now isolate
= from the balance of the world, to pu
o forth every effort to have a mail rout
y selected that can be depended upon a
0 all seasons of the year; a route owe
n which they can feel assured that thei
mail will re sch them every day in tn
f year on schedule time; route owe
n which supplies, as well as mail matter
S can be taken at any time during tn
e summer or winter. Such a route is tn
/ Elk City-DiMe route.
