After Hump Mines

Martin II. Jacobs, ex-state
mine inspector, returned Tuesday
from trip to the Hump where he
went to inspect some property for
New York capitalist. While Mr..
Jacobs did not state what bis re-
port to his people would be; he ex-
pressed himself as greatly pleased
with what he saw and surprised at
the great showing made in the
camp since his last visit two years
ago. He has travelled extensively
through the mining districts OF the
entire coast during the past two
years but declared that nowhere
had he found a camp that gave the
promise of future richness that
could be seen in Buffalo Hump.
His people do not wish to bond
property but whatever they take
hold of will be bought outright.
Prospects were never better for an
active year in the Hump than at
present and some big deals are con-
fidently expected.

Hunt--SWeet Case

Word was received here Monday
that decision had been rendered
in th 9 district court at Lewiston
in the Hunt-Sweet case in favor oil
Mr.. Sweet. The trouble arose
four years ago when Z. S. Sweet
purchased stock of goods OF
Hunt at Nezperce which Hunt had
not paid for. The wholesale
houses at that time began or minal
proceeding against members of the
Bargain Store Co., for assisting
Hunt in defrauding his creditors
but the case was promptly thrown
out of court and since then they
have been suing to recover the
value of the goods as civil action.
Mr.. Sweet has beaten them on
every turn, his many friends will
be glad to know that the case has
been finally settled in his favor.
The court found that the goods
had been sold to the Bargain store
and full value had been paid for
them and that the transaction was
in all respects bona fide.
The $500 value of the lot was
allowed for the reason that the
consideration was that a debt of
Hunts be paid, which the court
held was to come in as any other
debt and share pro rata under the
provision of the bankruptcy law.

THE CITY ELECTION
But Little Interest Outside OF
Second Ward.


The city election which took
place Tuesday excited but little in
terest as there was but one ticket
in the field and more than half Of
the people failed to vote at all. In
the second ward, however, this in
difference resulted in the defeat OF
the regular candidate for council
man and the election Of w. H.
Campbell. Mr.. Campbelps name
was not printed on the ticket bu,
his friends had evidently perfected
q pretty thorough organization and
waited until late in the day to cast
their votes 80 that the move
would not be discovered in time
to be blocked. Apart from this the
regular ticket went through with.
out opposition there being only
1914 votes cast in the entire city q.
against nearly 800 last year.
The new officers are:
Mayor, w. w. Brown.
Clerk, James DeHaven.
Treasurer, G. J. Lisle.
Engineer, w. G. McNutt.
Councilman, 1st ward, A. G.
Lanninghan.
Councilman, End ward, w. H,

Receiver in Charge

The American Eagle was for
mally taken possession of by p. f.
Stookey, the receiver appointed by
Judge Steele, OF the second judicial
district, Thursday Of this week.
The receiver was appointed at the
instance of the stockholders, who
allege the property was grossly
mismanaged. That there has been
gross mismanagement somewhere
is evidenced by the large number
of checks protested by the bank
upon which they were drawn and
which were cashed by the business
people here and forwarded to Spo-
kane. Why these checks should
be allowed to protest is not clear
for it is stated by responsible men
that enough bullion was taken out
in the month of February to more
than cover the amount involved.
1t is believed, however, that this
splendid property will not remain
idle as there is disposition on the
part Of the heavier stockholders to
push the matter to q speedy settle

Ferd Mckinney Discharged

The trial of G. Ferd Mckinney
on charge Of embezzlement oc-
cupied large portion Of the time
in Judge Jacques court yesterday,
but resulted in the discharge Of
the defendant. 1t appeared that
the states witnesses were unable
to testify that the articles alleged
to have been stolen were not paid
for by the defendant, or, that they
were not the same articles alleged
to have been stolen in a former
complaint to which the defendant
had plead guilty ON charge OF
petty larceny, and would therefore
be bar to further prosecution.
The case has attracted a great deal
of attention as all parties concern
ed are widely known in this
county, and both sides have many
friends. Judge Wallace N. Scales
conducted the case for the defen-
dant.

Camas Prairie Cattle.

J. P. Rush, of near Denver, last
week sold to Bales & Jones &c
head of thee year old steers whose
average weight was 1928 pounds.
The largest animal in the bunch
weighed ITO pounds and was not
quite three years old. The price
paid was Al cents which would
make such an animal worth $75. %
With such prizes and such stock it
can readily be seen why our farm
ing are prosperous and with q con-
tinunance Of present conditions
there is no fear of hard times.
Mr.. Rush is one of the most indus
trious and judicious farmers on the
prairie and his labors are being
handsomely rewarded.

TO BUILD TRAIL
Short Route To Thunder
Mountain and Big Creek.

Short Route To Thunder
Mountain and Big Creek.
J. M. Eakin who has been in
town several days ie taking an
active interest in raising sufficient
funds to build trail from Dixie
to Big Creek and Thunder Noun
tasn. While in Lewiston he plac-
ed the matter before the board Of
trade of that city and with the as
sistance of Sites, Clearwater, and
Elk City believes q sufficient sum
can be secured. Mr.. Eakin says
the proposed trail will be much
shorter than the routes heretofore
considered and can be built at q
smaller expense. There will be
practically no rock work to be
done, no exceedingly heavy grades,
absolutely no danger of snow slides,
and 1000 feet lower altitude than
the Elk summit which is now the
most troublesome point on the old
trail. The proposed trail would
cross the Salmon river along the
mouth of the south fork thus ele-
minating the canyon on that
stream which has always been a
serious obstacle as it is practically
the same depth as the one on the
main river.
In connection with this Mr..
Eakin is urging assistance from
this city to construct trail from
the Jumbo mine to the river cross :
ing at his place which would give
Grangeville direct route to Big
Creek and Thunder Mountain.
The distance from the Jumbo to
this place is 20 miles and from
there to the Werdenhoff property
on Big Creek, another 20 miles
making the total distance from
Grangeville about 96 miles. The
road between here and the Hump
is always open leaving only 40
miles of obstructed road in the
most unfavorable season, thus
making it most desirable winter
as well as summer route. The
matter is being taken up by a mum,
Der OF our local business people
with good chances for success.

March. This is the biggest
monthly cleanup since the mill
started and, while very satisfactory
it will no doubt be greatly incrcas-

the operation Of the mill to the

WILL CONSIDER
FREIGHT RATES
Committee Appointed From the
Commercial Club Now
Investigating

The committee recently appointed by
President ]. B. Morris of the Com
mercial club to investigate the condi-
tons in relation to the shipping inter-
ests of this city in connection with the
fight being waged by the shippers of
Spokane for less rates on Northern
lines have been quietly investigating
the conditions and will report to the
governing board at the next regular
meeting
The communication from the Cham
Der of Commerce of Spokane which
was received by the club urging that
Lewiston take united action In support
ing their views on the matter Is being
carefully weighed. The import of the
communication Is to the effect that
should Spokane succeed in being rec
ognized with terminal rates that the
same result will apply to Lewiston.
One of the committee stated today
that there was considerable matter to
which had to be looked UP in relation
to the fight on rates and that there
was more than appeared on the sur
face 1t would appear that If ter
minal rates would be granted to Lew
iston that it would mean much more
to this city than IL would to Spokane.
This view of the matter is adduced
from the fact that we are on river
route which would accord to Lewiston
many advantages not attributed to
SDokane
