New Year Starts With Bright
Prospects for that Camp.
The mining camp of Dixie is
evidently enjoying revival Of &C.
tivity and reports from there indi-
cate a more promising condition
than has existed there for several
years past. A correspondent writ
ing from there says:
While there has not been the
usual amount OF New Year stak-
ing, no promising prospect that
has gone by default has been passed
by. The outlook in this camp for
the coming year is very bright.

A SENSATIONAL SUIT.
J. A. Weinke Claims Interest In
hohaus Estate.

nOO6uS Estate.
A most sensational suit was
brought in the probate court last
week in which J. A. Weinke OBJ.
jected to the final settlement Of
the estate Of VIM. Hohaus on the
grounds that he was a co-partner
Of the deceased and was entitled to
AN interest in the estate. With
numerous other objections, Weinke
alleges: That on OF, sbout the 7th
day OF February, 1904, the said
VIM. Hohaus, now deceased, and
your contestant, ]. A. Weinke,
entered into an agreement and con-
tract Of co-partnership wherein
and whereby it was mutually agreed
that each Of said parties should de-
vote their time and services in the
conducting of said business and
enterprise and that your contest
ant should receive the sum of $25
per month for personal expenses
until such time as the Indebtedness
of the aforesaid firm and the ORR
ginal capital agreed upon to be
s5OSO, by said VIM. Hohaus fur.
nished to said original firm, and
the $500 advanced by your con-
testant were fully paid, said sums
to be paid in the order above
named. That pursuant to said
agreement your contestant ad-
vanced the said sum Of $500 which
was thereafter used in the said
business, and rendered all services
required under said co-partnership
agreement. That by said contract
it was further agreed by and be.
tween the said VIM. Hohaus and
your contestant that after the pay
ment Of the Indebtedness Of the
said firm OF Hohaus & Hickerson
and the payment Of the said sun
of 5000 to said VIM. HOhaus anC
Of the said $500 to contestant, tina,
the said VIM. Hohaus proposed tt
give contestants one.half interest IL
the proceeds resulting from sale
business and enterprise"
The, complaint at this tim'
comes more as a surprise, as ,
claim for $500 above mentioned
was presented and paid by the es
tate during the process Of admins
tration. The estate was in mucl
better condition than at first sup
posed, and is estimated at from
$1,000 to $4,000.
r. F. Fulton, Robinson & Stoo
key, of Lewiston, appeared fO
Mrs. Hohaus, and on their mo
ton the case was dismissed O.
the grounds that the probate cour
had no jurisdiction in the matter
1t is said that it will come u
again in the next term Of th
district court, though it has nc
yet been fled.
At the time OF Mr.. Hohaul
death Weinke was clerk in til
store, but has since engaged in tn
practice of law and is member I

THE JUMBO NINE.
New Officers Are Elected al
Annual Meeting.

What was predicted would be a
very stormy meeting Of the stock
holders of the Jumbo Mining and
Milling company was held here
Tuesday and passed off in perfect
harmony. There were several news
paper reports published giving out
the impression that there was the
biggest kind of row on between
Manager Frank Brown and the
stock holders bus at the meeting res
olutiops were passed commencing
his able management and bitterly
denouncing the reports circulated
as false. Mr.. Brown rendered his
resignation as manager as he wished
to devote his entire time to his
Alaska interests which have in.
creased to such proportions as tc
demand all of his attention.
The officers elected for the en-
suing year are: Geo. Filler, presi.
dent; A. G. Lanningham, vict
president; D. L. Filler, secretary
Chris. Olson, general manager
and these with E. G. Weis
gerber and G, +. Lydon will
constitute the board of directors
G. E. Butler of Lewiston wal
elected treasurer and, while it il
not given out, it is generally be
lieved that the head Office will
be transferred to that place
Grangeville has only one represen
tative on the board and Lewiston
would naturally be a more conven
lent place for meeting.

Ximo CoDgreso Pan-americano:
'ETres meses escasos nos separan de la
reunion, en- Rio Janeiro, de los plenipo-
tenciarios de las Repdblicas de America.
El pr6ximo Congreso Pan americana sera
el cuarto de la serie; los dos primeros Sc
celebraron en- Washington en- Mejico el
tiltimo. Los resultados hasta ahora han
sido nulos, 10 mismo en- las orillas del Po-
tomac que en- las del Texcoco.
La conception de los Congresses Pan
americanos reunidos peri6dicamente pc te-
nece Blaine, el dltimo quizas el mas
iustre de los precursores del imperialismo
yanki. Tras Blaine Ell imperialismo ha
entrado en- un periodo de acci6n; y claro
est6 que sus mantenedores actuales habfan
de utilizar el instrumento FORBADE por aquel
gran polftico.
Pero, como acabamos de decir, las reu.
niones aparatosas y solemnes de los repre-.
Bentantes oficiales de las naciones del Nue
vo Mundo no han dado ningdn resultado
apreciable, 6, mejor dicho, sus resultados
han sido puramente negatives con relaci6n
las esperanzas que en- ellos fundaban los
lmperiallstas anglo-amerlcanos.
En- un principle hubo la intenci6n de
que los Congresses Sc celebrasen todos en-
Washington, q fin de consagrar de ese mo-
do implfcitamente la capital de los Estados
Unidos como centro de acci6n comGn y
metr6poli moral del Continente; mas Sc
tuvo que transigir con la pretensi6n, natu-
ralfsima, formulada por ell representante
de una de las naciones de la America me-
ridioral, secundada por los demas, de
que Sc escogiese preYiamente antes de Sc
pararse los plenipotenciarios, Y por acuer-
do de estos, la capital donde hubiere de
efectuarse Ia reunion pr6xima.
Los Estados Unidos no han inspirado
las naciones americanas de origen ibero
una confanza sin reservas una simpatfa
sin recelos mas que en- los primeros amos
que siguieron su emancipation.
La guerra con Mejico y la anexi6n de
California y Tejas contribuyeron hacer-
les perder sobre este punto sus primeras
ilusiones, 81 algunas les quedaban no han
resistido los acontecimientos que deter
minaron la incorporation de Puerto Rico
