NEW INDIAN SCHOOL DOCTOR
DR.. William L. Shawk, wife and two
sons, arrived here Saturday night to
remain permanently, and were accom-
panied by Mr.. and Mrs. George w.
Shawl< of Cleveland. parents of Dr.
Shawk who Will remain here for time
visiting. DR.. Shawk is in the Indian
service and was located at Fort Bid
we'll California, when he was trans.
ferred to the Phoenix Indian school.
His father and mother We're visiting
him at Fort Bidwell at the time and
accompanied him to Phoenix on the
way to their eastern home, taking adj
vantage of the opportunity to see a
little more of the west. DR.. Shawk
says that Fort Bidwell is just now en-
jOying the time of it's life in entertain
ing a real novelty in that section, a
mining boom. Fort Bidwell is situated
in what has hitherto been considered
exclusively an agricultural region. Not
long ago a man named Norton. who
had made n big strike and a compe-
tence for life in the Nevada mines,
went to Fort Bidwell to visit his
father and mother. About thai time
somebody stumbled upon a mineral
ledge and prevailed upon Mr.. Norton
to look it over. He did so and pro-
nOunced the prospect a very likely one.
Immediately steps were taken by the
owners for further exploration and so
far as development has gone results
are most flattering,. The news spread
rapidly and further groupings were
found and a mining boom Immediately
followed. The doctor, though not a
mining man, naturally took the fever
and located a few claims which his
associates there viii look after for him.
He has some very choice specimens
which he secured from his own prop
erty. though only from surface scratch
ing, as no important development has
been done. He is not certain yet, |
he will spend the next few
years as a meek and humble profess
siOnal man, or whether he will wear
and join a millionaire's club. |
