and have always considered him a
pretty good man to. have in camp. His
opportunities in that camp will, in the
very nature of things, be great.
Dale Clark, of the firm of Clark &
Stillwell, of Clearwater, was a visitor
to the mining metropolis this week and
paid the News a pleasant visit. Mr..
Clark accompanied Mr.. O'Bannon.
Both will return home tomorrow, well
pleased with the camp.
Walter C. Craig is renewing his ac-
quaintance with his family the past
week. Mr.. Craig owns a ranch near
Cottonwood upon which he has expend-
ed most of the past year. Mrs. Craig
and the two boys live in camp, where
she is teaching the new idea of Elk
City how to shoot.
ATTENTION! To any one desiring
freight to be delivered from the rail
road or outside points, would do well to.
trust their wants in this line to Clark
Stillwell, Clearwater, Idaho, who have
several freight teams and do a general
freighting business between the rail
road and Elk City points.
P. O'Bannon, the Clearwater mer-
chant, paid our office a pleasant visit
this week. Mr.. O'Bannon is of the
opinion that Elk would be a good place
to be in this coming summer. He also
took occasion to say that the News
probably done Commissioner Farris an
injustice as to road district 20. ,
Jess Vannoy and w. H. Simpson re-
turned from Spokane Friday, where
they have been on mining business.
Jesse says that old Elk seems to have
started right at last and that she is at
tracing more attention than any other
camp in the northwest. She is certain
ly worthy of all the attention which
may come her way and, by the way,
she will be able to take care of all her
suitors.
F. H. Harper, the fortunate locator
of the Winifred, was in town Thursday
on business. Mr.. Harper is developing
his claim by a tunnel which is in sixty
feet. He figures an additional fifty
feet as necessary before he strikes the
pay shoot for which he is running, and
as blessings seldom come singly, he dug
up the same ledge about a thousand feet
further along it's course, and at which
point it shows good values.
We are indebted to Mrs. Parr for the
notice of the marriage of Miss Nadine,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Cook,
the happy man being Clarence r. Full
Ter. The ceremony took place in Spo-
kane, February Is. The young couple
will, after March Is, make their home
in Burke, Idaho. Walter Cook, father
of the bride, is a valued citizen of this
district, where he has carried on mining
operations for a number of years. He
is interested in several properties, the
principal being the Gold Hill placers.
D. M. Evans, general manager for
the American Eagle Gold M. g. M. Co.,
was a visitor to our town Tuesday. The
many friends of Mr.. Evans will learn
with regret the fact that his resignation
is now in the hands Of the company at
Spokane, to take effect upon the ap-
pointment of his successor. Mr.. Evans.
will, upon leaving his present position,
pay a short visit to his mother, who is
living in Montana, afterwards taking a
spin through Nevada and Arizona. We
gather from the same source the addi-
tional fact that Dennis Clark has also
resigned. Mr.. Evans impressed us as
being a capable and conscientious Of
fcer. That the company will be as
fortunate in securing as good a man is
the wish of the community.
