Coast Line Extension VIII Be Competitor Of

Way Of the Salmon River.

Report has it that when the Mil
waukee's engineers came to the secur-
ing efrights Of way it was discovered
that they had been forestalled by the
Northern Pacific. This is said to mean
that the Hill lines propose to push
short cut through the Bitter Root range
from Missoula to the Columbia river,
and that this section of road will be
electrified. Mr.. Hill when asked con.
cerning these matters, was not ready
with an answer. He hesitated and
turned the question away with quail
fled answer. He said the company had
some time ago. looked over that route,
but had not found it to be what was
desired.
'The fact remains that Northern Pa
cifce surveying, parties have BEEN at
work recently. on the Lolo pass route,
and Milwaukee, engineers have meved
southwark, claiming that they have
found lower pass and more desirable
route through the Bitter Root range.
Recent reports from the east have con-
frmed the Journals statements that a
close alliance has been made between
the Milwaukee and the Union Pacific,
and that the former will, unless better
opening presents itself, come into Port
land over O. R. & N. tracks from Wall
ula as soon as the Pacific coast extern
sion of the Milwaukee reaches the
Columbia
'There is no longer doubt in the
minds of railroad men that Mr.. Hill
means to take an active part in the de-
velopment Of Oregon. With lines
already projected to Portland. the coast
and the interior via the Deschutes, a
line directly through the Lolo pass to
Missoula would drain this country to the
east and give aroute of easy grades and
cheap haul from the east. for manufact-
ured products that would enable the Hill
lines to meet Panama canal competition

E. E. Espey Tells Lewiston Paper Why
We are Prosperous

Lewiston Tribune: E. E. Espey
was an arrival yesterday morn
ing from Elk City. Mr.. Espey
is interested in the South Fork
group of mines in the Elk dis
trict. The property, he says, is
showing up very nicely and much
work has been done on the group
this season.
There is greater activity at the
camps this season than last year
and number of New York CAPT.
talists are now on the grounds
inspecting some of the properties
with a view of investing, states
Mr.. Espey. Travel into the dis
trict is heavier than for number
of years and there appears to be
a greater number of people in the
district making inquiries and in
vestigating different properties
than ever before.
All the IMPORTANT properties
are working good forces and are
getting excellent results. There
is some difficulty now in operat.
ing the mines owing to the scar
city of water, and fears are ex
pressed that it may result in clos
ing down a number of properties
before the end of the season
There was the usual amount, q

Saturdays Lewiston Tribune:
An important mining deal, involv-
ing Buffalo Hump property, was
closed in this city Friday when
George Reed. Ezra Baird and Lou
Smith sold the Colonel mine to D.
B. Parks, of Charleston, and Theo-
dore Parks, of Hump, the pur-
chasers representing Iowa people,
The deal was on a cash basis and
the consideration was up in the
thousands. AS soon as the deal
was closed, Theodore Parks ex-
hibited telegram from the Iowa
people directing him to proceed
Immediately with the develop
ment of the mine, and he will go
to the camp without delay to in
augurate operations.
The Colonel is an extension of
the Mother Lode No. 2 mine,
owned by a Boston company, and
is one of The well known proper
ties of the Hump camp. The
mine was acquired in 1898 during
the Hump boom by Messrs. Reed,

The decision of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railway company as
to the course its Pacific coast line shall
take through the Bitter Root mountains
and across Idaho has been delayed by
an adroit move by James j. Hill who
has taken possession of the Lolo pass
for the cutoff road the Northern Pa
ciic intends building from Missoula to
connect with its road on the Columbia
river, and now there are well founded
rumors in railway circles that the Mil
waukee road will pass through the Bitter
Root mountains south of Lolo pass and
will build down the Clearwater to Lew
iston, passing within two miles of Elk
City,
The Milwaukee company has; 5000
men at work on its line in Montana; its
surveyors working along the Clear
water toward Lewiston were ordered
back to Montana last week; the Mil
waukee company has representatives,
in the Clearwater country buying up
timber, which is the principal tonnage.
These facts, with the more important
one, that the Milwaukee company is
a Hartman line and is allied with the
Union Pacific, is proof that there has
been serious shakeup in the eompany's S
plans in Montana, which will result in
benefit to this part of Idaho.
The Portland Journal in referring to
the recent visit there of James ]. Hill
and party says:
cit is reported that the Northern Pa
cific will build through Lolo pass, direct
to the Columbia river, and shorten the
present line from Missoula another zoe
miles, which, with the north bank route,
would give it line, from Portland te
the east that would revolutionize pres
ent transportation routes. In no Other
way, it is said, can the Northern Pa
cific hope to compete successfully witt
the proposed Chicago, Milwaukee & st
Paul line to the Pacific coast. =
