Will Work Silver King

Active work will begin at once on
the Silver King group of mines on
Ruby creek a few miles east of the
Horse ranch in this county. The
Silver King is silver and lead propo-
sition, owned by John P. Vollmer, the
Lewiston banker, who has gradually,
by purchasing the interests of small
holders, acquired the entire ownership,
together with other adjoining claims,
giving him possession of group for
which he has refused an offer Of
100000. How valuable this mine,
or rather prospect, is cannot be deter
mined, but sufficient development
work has been done to justify the
offer of sixty thousand dollars, and the
showing is sufficiently good to warrant
Mr.. Vollmer in turning it down. While
working the creek bed for placer gold
in 1888 John H. Mccoy and Henry
Able uncovered what they supposed to
be coal, but an assay revealed the
fact that they had struck galena that
ran from 80 to 5000 ounces to the
ton in silver and from 90 to 70 pei
cent. lead, with from l / to II ounces
of gold. A showing that is sufficient
to make the property valuable beyond
measure. But with transportation nc
nearer than Troy even so rich mine
could not be worked, and since it has
become the property Of Mr.. Vollmel
he has been content to do nothing be-
yond the work required to hold the
claims and ratent the original discov'
cry. But now it is different. The
new railroad building into the timbe
by the Weyerhausers will be within ;
few miles this fall and is surveyed tC

mine. And with transportation Mr.
Vollmer will complete the work to pu

Fine Wheat.

What is probably as good a sample Of
wheat as will be grown in Latah county
was brought in from the N. R. Shep-
herd farm one and one-half miles
northwest of Troy. The sample is OF
the Little Club variety, and will make
a yield of not less than sixty bushels to
the acre. This wheat measures five
feet, seven inches, and is the first crop
on the soil, which is what is known as
pine land. Mr.. Shepherd has five
acres in the field and is justly proud
of the wonderful showing he is getting
from sod. 1t is certainly gratifying to
see the pine soil of this section furnish
ing such practical evinence Of its
worth as agricultural land, and this in
the face of the fact that the "knocker'
insists that Latah county pine land is
no good. When it comes to the hall
bushel it is always there with the
goods.

Creamery Is Rented.

After fully considering every side Of
the creamery question the directors
have closed the first chapter in the
story by renting the plant to the Pine
Creek Dairy Company Of Spokane, who
have the factory rented for the next
twelve months with the understand
that they are to continue to oper-
ate the plant. These gentlemen have
also pledged themselves to pay the
farmers every cent the market will
Justify for their cream, and to also do
all they can to encourage the building
up of the creamery industry in this
section. They will assist in improving
the herds OF the local farmers, and CO.
operate with the people here with the
purpose of making our creamery a big
success. Outside of the Hazelwood
Company the Pine Creek people are
the most wealthy and prosperous
creamery in Spokane, with ample capi-
tai to make a success Of all their
undertakings. They have the reputa-
ton Of fair and honest dealings and
come we'll recommended. At present
the local plant will be in charge oi
Sam Peterson, and the cream shipped
to Spokane, but little latter practi-

I. T. King, who is now operating a
brick yard on the Bellomy place near
Troy, has disposed Of every brick he
can make this year to Lewiston con-
tractor, who was in Troy the first of the

says he will turn out total Of 800, 900
during the season. Next year he will

The announcement of William Ran
dolph Hearst, positive and definite in
it's denial of any presidential ansbl-
ton, removes from the path OF Viii
liam ]. Bryan the only real or consid-
cradle obstacle to third nomination
by the Democratic party for the presi'
dency of the United States.
There can be no misunderstanding
of Mr.. Hearsts distinct and definite
statement. Like everything he does
and everything that he says, 1t Is bold,
frank and explicit, and not only re
moves him as possible candidate for
the presidency, but gives in the strong
est and tersest form his own splendid
and potential Endorsement to Mr.
Bryan's name.
The statement which Mr.. Hearst has
telegraphed from San Francisco is the
most significant and the most impor
ant utterance which has so far been
made in the matter Of Mr.. Bryan's re
nomination. 1t has the most potential
bearing upon the fortunes of the Dem
ocratic party. There was no other
man in the party who could have sue
cussfully opposed Mr.. Bryan for the
nomination. There was no other mar
so worthy to have received the nomi
nation as Mr.. Hearst. If Mr.. Bryan
has been the theorist, Mr.. Hearst has
been the executive OF, our moderr
Democracy. If Mr.. Bryan has beer
the speaking evangel of popular rights
and liberties, MIR. Hearst has been the
fearless and inconquerable agent o.
their accomplishment. If Mr.. Bryan
has said things eloquently and superb
ly, Mr.. Hearst has done things fear
lessly and magnifcently.

The wellman Expedition
To the North Pole.

The anxiety which is felt for the
arctic expedition under command OF
Peary, which, according to prearrang-
ed plans, should have been heard from
before this time, adds unusual inter-
est to the Wellman expedition, which
will start from Spitzbergen for the
pole in an air ship on August Is. A
recent issue of the Birmingham Age
Herald contained the following inter
esting article relative to the Wellman
party:
Walter Wellman and his co-workers
have left, not only Trondhjem, but also
Tromspe, which Is the most northerly
cable station, being but 1000 miles
from the pole. He will soon arrive at
Danes Island, near Spitzbergen and
very near the spot from which Andree
set out In an airship on June Is, 1896
Andree was never heard from, but his
fatal attempt will not deter Walter
Wellman and his hackers in the Chi
cago Record-Herald Office from max
ing a second attempt to reach the pole
by means of an airship.
The preparations for the new effort
are on the grandest possible scale. No
expense has been spared. and the
aerial craft itself Is one of the largest
ever constructed. The balloon part
of the ship Is 164 feet long, and its
greatest diameter is 52h feet. Its
surface is 21.09S square feet, capable
of containing 224, 225 cubic feet Of gas,
with a lifting power of $4,000 pounds.
The car attached to the balloon Is con-
structed Of steel tubing, and is So 1-3
feet long. 1t contains the engine room
and cabin for the crew, while attached
to 1t will be the great basket carrying
the gasoline fuel for the motors. There
are three of these; the first of seventy
horse power, the second of twenty-five
and the third of five. The large mo-
tors will drive the two propelling
screws of the ship at speed ranging
from ten to nineteen miles an hour.
When the assembling and testing
operations have been completed in the
great shed at Spitzbergen the five
men who are to make the perilous trip
will step aboard and the ship will be
pointed toward Its final destination
These men are: Walter Wellman,
Major Hersey, representing the ma
tional government and the Georgraph'
ic Society; CASTOR Hervien, celebrat
ed French aeronaut; M. J. Smith, wire
less expert, and Paul Colardeau, in
charge OF the motors.
Mr.. Wellman hopes to sail away tc
the pole about August 18th, and he
things the trip to 1t will consume 10(
hours time. He hopes, in other
words, either by the wireless telegraph
system or by a return to civilization
to tell waiting world by the LIST Of
September all he has seen in the grea,
frozen country which lies about the
pole that so many had sought ant
none had reached.
