RAVALLI COUNTY COAL
Immense Deposits On Coal Creek i'm
Southern Part of County to Be
Developed=-rlay Extend Road

Considerable activity is reported in
the Overwhich district of late. G.. w.
Solleder and others this week brought
out five or six tons of high grade cop
per and silver ore from their claims
on Slate creek and will forward it to
Butte for thorough treatment. This
ore was packed out of the hill on horses
and hauled in wagons to the railway.
Pat Shannon recently returned from
the Overwhich district, having COM
pleted the representation work on a
number of coal claims on Coal creek,
He reports splendid showing, all de
velopment work so far indicating that
the deposits of Ignite are practically
ineXhaustible. Three tunnels have
been run on the main vein, which
crops out at intervals for a long dis
tance. The last tunnel was run in 1S
feet and at the face of the tunnel a
shaft was sunk about three feet and
which disclosed that the entire face of
the tunnel, eleven feet across is, solid

Money in Sugar Beets.

The week just past has broken all
tions among the farmers of Idaho and
Utah. On November Is the various SUI
gar factories, whose headquarters are
in Salt Lake and Ogden paid off the
farmers for all beets delivered up to
the end of October. From closest est-
mates possible to obtain it is under
stood that the amount of beets deliv-
cred during October, at Lehi, Provo,
Spanish Fork, Springville, Ogden, Lo-
gan, Lewiston, Garland, Sugar City
Idaho Falls and Blackfoot, approxim-
ted 300, 900 tons, which at $4 so per ton
put the neat sum of 81, $50 900 into the
pockets Of the farmers. Something like
another 100, 600 tons of beets will be de-
livered before the campaign has ended
during the month of Novetnberl and
these will be paid for on Dec. IS.
To take care of the disbursement of
this sum Of money on Nov. Is and to
see that it reached the farmers with
all speed, called for the most active
exertion on the part of the sugar Of
ticials aud the working forces in the
various offices. The gathering of so
large d sum of money also required
some heavy shipments of currency and
gold to and from Salt Lake. The Utah
and Idaho companies do their banking
in Salt Lake with Mccormick & Co.,
State Bank Of Utah, Descret National
Bank and the Utah National Bank,
a md the Amalgamated company bank
The Western news. [volume] (Stevensville, Mont.) 1890-1977, 1905-12-13

with the First National of Ogden. The
factories pay off the farmers and their
laborers by drawing on the local banks.
Nearly all the local banks draw their
that the drain on city banks has been
quite heavy during the week. AS the
money goes from the farmers to the
various dealers in merchandise in Salt
Lake and Ogden, however, it is only
a question of a short time before 1t
reaches the banks again though in the
circulation process a good share of the
cash is retained by the farmers for
their share of the years operations.
These sums oil money, large as they
are, are by no means all that is distri-
from $40, 900 to 5000 a month, and
each one pays out large sums for coal
coke, lumber, rock, chemical supplies
and freight, the railroads alone receiv-
ing enormous sums for hauling the
beets in and the sugar out, while the
campaign is on and long after. When
it is remembered that a few years
back all this activity was unknown,
and that instead of receiving money
from the outside for sugar, Utah and
Ida no were sending away great sums
annually for the sugar their people
one gains small idea of
the Importance to the west of the
sugar beet industry -Deseret News.

PROHIBITION VOTED OUT
People of RavaIli By Two to One
Repeal Local Option LaW=-=BaCk
to the License System.

The special election held last Satur-
day, at which the ques ton as tc
whether or not the sale of intoxicating
liquors shall be legalized in Ravalli
county was submitted, passed off very
quietly. The day was raw and cold
and but little more than one-half of
the registered vote was polled. The
total will hardly reach 1900. Two
years ago, when the local option ques-
ton was first submitted in this coun-
ty, total of 1927 votes were cast.
The people, by practically two to
one vote, declared in favor of return
ing to the license system. Very little
electioneering was done, the prohibit
tionists being chiefly in evidence in
this regard. The result was conceded
weeks ago by most of the prohibition
workers and they made but half
hearted effort to win. In fact the
stay at-home vote was largely COM
posed of men who voted for the local
option law TWO years ago and had be-
come disgusted with it's ineffective
ness.
There is some talk of a contest on
the ground that the election was IL
legally called by the commissioners,
but since the people have so emphat-
ically recorded their sentiments in the
matter it is quite probable that this
talk will come to naught.
1t did not take long to count the
votes and the result was known with
in an hour after the polls had closed.
The unofficial vote as telephoned from
the available precincts to The Western
News and which is approximately cor
rect, follows:

SALTON SEA ON RAMPAG
Southern Pacific Had to Construct the
Shoofy Road

The submerged Salton sink is still on
the rampage and Tuesday high wind
blew the waters of the inland sea up
over the railway. The management of
the Southern Pacific no longer denies
the gravity of the situation.
Every available laborer has been
rushed to the spot to help in building
the temporary shoohy track about the
threatened section and this work is
progressing at the rate OF three-quar-
tiers of mile day and there are ten
miles to be completed.
For distance of more than mile
the waters of the sink were tapping
over the ends of the ties of the railroad
and the water was reported pouring in
to the intake of the canal at the rate
of 1900 feet per second, raising the
flood level three inches in twenty-four
hours, Yuma Sun.

lots of gold ore in the mine there is not
sufficient copper ore available immed-
lately to smelt the gold ore. A diamond
drill has been at work in the mine for
months and it may be that a great
quantity of copper ore has been located
and will be developed by shafts and
drifts as fast as the work can be ac-
complished. Whatever the cause, and
whatever the Importance one way or
other, the Iron King smelling plant
