The Prospects Are Bright For Line to Come
This Way Next Summer.
PROMOTERS VISITED HERE
Men Backing Lewiston Southeastern Road Decide This Good
Field For Electrical Power

It isn't often that the people of the
Elk City mining district. have an eop-
portunity to show up the wonderful
Natural resources of the district to
engineers, big capitalists and railway
men of national reputation, but that
opportunity was enjoyed this week
when several of the moving spirits Back
of the new electric railway now being
built between Grangeville and lewiston
made thorough investigation ct the
mines in Buffalo Hump, Orogrande and
Elk City to consider the feasibility of
transmitting electrical power to these
mines from the company's power plant
which is being built in the horse shoe
bend of the Salmon river near West
lake, sixty miles west of here. In the
party were the following named gentle
men: w. P. Ramey, Chicago, manager
at the Del Rio mine, and capitalist
E. M. Schofeld and E. P Coles, electri-
cal engineers and capitalists, of Phila-
delphia; R. ]. McRae, Nez Perce, stock
holder in the Del Rio mining company
George X. Reed, proprietor of the Ray.
mond hotel in Lewiston, and capital
ist and stockholder in the Cracker Jack
and Jumbo mining. companies; Robert
Jones, capitalist, of Grangeville.
Besides bringing electrical power into
these camps to operate the mines, the
members of the party gave particula,
attention to the pratticability of eperat
ing electric cars, with view to ei$tehd
,iSg the Grangeville electric car line tt

the Mining News, and our visit to this
district is for the purpose Of gathering

GOLD IN LIMESTONE.
Rare Condition of the Values in Peck
Prospect.

Frank T. Barnard, assayer and
metallurgist in the office of Jellum
& Jones, mining engineers, who
INSPECTED the ore groupings at
Peck which caused such excite
ment several weeks ago, found
rare condition, says the Lewis
ton Tribune. Mr.. Barnard states
that the gold values are carried
in a strata of pure limestone
which has the appearance of be-
ing about Is feet in width. Mr..
Barnard examined every hole To-
Gated on the ledge, which extends
for a distance of about four miles
across the hill adjacent to the
town. He found the indications
for surface work good and states
that if the values continue deeper
in the limestone the claims will
be worth something.
The limestone is so pure that
it has high commercial value
and can be used IN the fluxing of
silicious ores by the smelters.
Gold values in pure limestone are
rarity, this being one of the
few instances where such is found
to be the case. Parallel with the
lime strata runs quartz ledge
which II Some places shows val
ues while others are barren. Mr..
Barnard states that there are
SOME copper prospects which have
good showings on the surface, but
no work has been done On them
and it is hard to determine ais to
the depth Of the ore.

Asked if he had arrived at any decis-
ion in regard to transmitting power to
this district, Mr.. schofeld said: "It is

know little about gold mining districts,
but speaking in a comparative sense can
say that you have wonderful mineral
district here which needs only cheaper
power and better transportation facili-
ties to make 1t very prosperous and
valuable district. In regard to our in
tentions in this district, will say that
we have decided to extend our wire here
if we can be assured five per cent on
our investment. From what we have
seen on this trip it would appear like a
safe business venture for our company
to bring Under contribution tai)S SR| every bS 1T Of
the water power at the horse 81 Shoe
bend, because believe there is de-
mand for it."
The party arrived from Orogrande in
their own conveyance Wednesday morn
ing and departed for Grangeville, Thurs
d day morning. All were enthusiastic
over the prospect of a greater field fol
their operations than they had antici.
pated, Mr.. Reed being so full of enthusi.
asm as to predict that Elk City will
have an electric car line before eighteen
months pass.
All the members OF the party werf
anxious to see the big Buster mine, Of
which they had heard SO Tnuch, anc
after an inspection of the property there
was unanimous agreement that it wa:
the biggest and most promising mine
they had seen.
Wednesday evening the party were
entertained at the home of DR.. and Mrs
J. D. Shinnick.

ABOUT THE BUSTER
An Outside Statement on Merit Of
Big Property Here.
FRED BRADLEY LIKED IT
Great Engineer is Quoted in Wallace
Daily Times---What He Said.

The Buster mine here has re-
ceived many words of praise from
mining fdsh, experts and engi-
neers, but it was not until re-
Gently that this district received
any attention from the Spokane
papers or mining interests in the
Coeur d'Alene. Now they are
all sitting up and taking notice
since Fred w. Bradley, Said to be
the most competent mining engi-
neer in the world. has become
interested in the camp. The fol-
lowing, complimentary notice is
taken ftof1 the Daily Times, the
new daily paper in Wallace:
From Lewiston comes the re-
port that F. w. Bradley, presi-
dent of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan
mine at Wardner, is negotiating
for the purchase Of the Buster
mine in the Elk City district.
Mr.. Bradley has just made an in
spection of the Buster in company
with S. w. Smith, the owner, and
is quoted as follows:
'The Buster mine has the ear
Marks of a good property" said
MI. Bradley. Everything is in
good shape and Mr.. Smith de-
serves high credit for What he
has done. I am pleased with the
outlook, but the purchase will de-
pend upon the outcome of several
|c6ntingencies. 1 left one of my
men at the property and there
will be a sampling and testing of
the ores made at once, not only
to be assured of the values, but
of the nature of the ores, as to
their being free milling or base
and the percentage of free mill
ing values, ;, =
II am pleased with the show
ling, and especially with the con-
EDITION of the property, but there
are several things to yet be de-
termined before a purchase is
probable"
The Buster is we'll known to
every mining, man who has oper-
ated in the Clearwater country.
1t is considered one Of the big
properties of the country, and its
value has been variously esti-
; mated from $100, 600 to $500. 600.
The Buster mine is owned by
S. w. Smith, who has, as he says,
, given a life time to its develop
: ment. All the ground is patented
and all the re.hts secured. The
: ground is opened up and every
t thing is in first-class condition.
The fact that it is attractive "te
a mining man like Mr.. Bradley
indicates that it has more thar
usual merit, and a purchase by
t him would mean big things fol
l the development of the Elk City
2 country.

SILK SHlRTWk;ST.
To-Day Should Match Suit with
Which Worn-The Superior Style
of the Tailor Models.

This is the ruling of fashion this
year, that silk shirt waists must match
the color of the suits they are worn
with; or, when the suit is a check or
a rather large, indistinct plaid. they
must match its -predominating color.
1t is the prettiest idea, too, and has
come out, l~egitimately enough, of the
dissatisfaction felt by so many wonl-
en- last summer over that cut-in-half
look which the wearing of white
blouse with anything but a white or
very light suit gave.
An occasional shirt-waist, made to
go with a velvet or ~velveteen suit, is
of ~velveteen to match, making a pref
ty little costume instead Of the more
usual apparent shirt-waist and skirt
combination. In those of silk-and
probably eight out of ten are of silk,
crepe de chine, ~taffeta, pongee, lou
isine, even a new sort of surah and
chiffon faille-a new silk with a sur
face Just a little less cleaning than
satin, with a weave something like
that of soft-finish grosgrain ribbons
are used, chiffon faille making some
very unusual-looking ones
The most satisfactory Of all are the

tailored ones. made with e a bit
OF trimming about them except bands
or tucks or plaitings, Or perhaps tiny
bows of silk itself. Box-plaited mod
els-the box plaits running all the
to the belt-are in favor, and a
thousand and one forms. Of shirt
waists made with little yokes outlined
in odd ways, with stitched bands of
the silk. Usually these bands are re-
peated or the idea echoed on the
Sleeves. Two pretty versions OF this
idea are shown upon the two figures
at the lett. In most shirt-waists long
sleeves prevail, although an occasional
n has sleeves which come to just a
little more than half way between
wrist and elbow. But these should
be used only upon the more elaborate
forms of waists-those which really
belong to the class Of blouses.-Chi

AFFECTION.
A Warning to Women Not Too Make
towards of the Children Under
Their Care.

Have you ever noticed how many
sweet women are a%ssiduously engaged
in the cultivation of towards?
There are mothers and aunts who.
doting upon the children of their fami-
lies with praiseworthy fondness, show
their affection in ways most ill-ad-
vised.
AS the car swings around the corner,
johnny's little head is bumped. " hat
happens? Johnny howls; Johnny's
mother soothes him tenderly; john
ny's aun beats the naughty side
walk"
Johnny's sense of self-piety is
aroused, He realized that he must
have been badly hurt. very badly hurt.
to have called forth such a rebuke to
the offending object. If Johnny falls
he is permitted to howl himself into
q little fever. and he is cuddled and
pitied and the bad sidewalk" or the
wicked floor" is blamed.
He finds that a sure way to win
sympathy-often accompanied by
sweets-and to make himself the CEN
ter OF a family group is to yell over
his small misfortunes.
When Johnny becomes a man, unless
the effect of his mothers training has
been counteracted, he will whine when
Nellie refuses him and he will seek
the sympathy Of the rest of the femi-
nine world by posing as a harshly
used hero.
When his business schemes fail it
will be bad Dick" or "Tom" or
Harry" were to blame, as were the
cars and sidewalks 80 or so years
ago.
The art of whining will be one in
which he is most proficient. 4 whin-
ing woman is bad enough, but d whin-
ing man.
He will never pick himself up after
his falls with a laugh and go on with
a determination to succeed to a more
comfortable road.
1t is almost a solemn thing to think
that the only salvation for some chill
dren is that the influence OF their
sweet and considerate mothers may be
counteracted early in life.-Chicago

WASTE AFFORDS FORTUNES
Filtration Plants Produce Material
of Great Value in In
dustries.

Waste not, want not" tells only
half the story in the twentieth century
which finds fortunes in waste products
Sulphate of iron as a water purifying
agent, with an admiXture of a small
percentage of copper sulphate, is of
comparatively recent use in mechani-
cal filtration, and its merit as a coagu7
liant, together with its low cost has
led TO its employment as d substitute
for aluminium sulphate. A new outlet.
therefore, has been provided for a
waste product the uses of which hith7
erto have been much circumscribed
-nd the disposition of which at all
large finishing mills has been a prob
lem. The possibilities of the trade are
suggested by the requirements of one
of the largest filtration plants, where
$500 tons are used annually, More at
tention also is being paid to the use o.
the blast furnace fine dust, despite the
many unsuccessful attempts at briquet-
ing. Recent developments Indicate
that the latter has been given up As
impracticable, and attention is being
turned toward the agglomeration of the
dust into rotary kiins. Some of the
largest producers of steel have already
made plants for the rotary kiln type.
