Johnnie. New. Dec. 3.-The humble of
deals that have taken place sround the
Minnie Mae hill have started a new ac-
tivity in the gold belt Of the district. not
that there ever was a time when work
slacked but the recent copper discov-
cries have been the cause of the most
excitement and beyond regular develop
ment work little has been done in the
gold belt. The past week has seen a
new life. Prospectors are scratching
the ground near the Minnie Mae hill and
there is much talk OF new leases and
other sales.
The new milling and leasing company
has been particularly active. Both the
Frost and Bowler lease have taken on
new life. About a dozen men are at work
in the lease. and Harry c. simmonds.
who was appointed superintendent is
looking for more men to go to work.
Rich ore is being extracted from the so
level of the Frost lease. 1t is a brown,
copper stained, decomposed quartz and
there is hardly a piece taken out that
does not show free gold. No attempt
has been made to assay 1t and its true
value will not be known until the mill
crushes ii, as the yellow metal is so
plainly seen that there can be no doubt
of it's richness. In the Bowler lease
work has been started in the shaft
which will be sunk yet further. The
two drifts have blocked out about 5000
tons of ore and this will be knocked
down just as soon as the mill is ready
to receive 1T. All the other leases are
doing good development work, especially
the Beauregard lease, the managers of
hich expect to enter their rich ore body
before two weeks are past.
A strike has been made on the Pitts
burgh Johnnie. The ore body that was
opened up last week on the Lacelle claim
has been explored and found to be OF
great dimensions. 1t runs about $50 in
gold and carries about 16 ounces silver
and also has a good percentage of lead
The formation in this property lies fiat
ter than in any of the others in this
vicinity.
In the Johnnie Consolidated an east
| drift has been run on the 700 level
Heretofore all the drift work has beer
lone to the west and a good ore body has
been followed tina assayed all the way
between $13 and $25. The 500 and coo
levels are both in good ore. Rapid pro
gress is being made on the main shaft
which is being raised from the 800 level

up to stay some time. All the drifts
and shafts are being worked in ore and
in the development work some shipping
ore is being extracted.
Men are still at work in the McClan-

COOPERATIVE
TELEPHONE
Both a Money Saver and Big Dividend
Payer.
May EXTEND LINES TO CRANGEYILLE
Matter now Being Considered
by Business men.

M. Fuchs, of Cottonwood, spent
several days in this city the latter
part of last week submitting to our
bushes men q proposition to ex.
tend the Cooperative telephone
lines to this place. While this COM
pany is but a few years old it's
success has been greater than its
incorporators ever anticipated and
its surplus last year amounted to
Is per cent. This the company will
use in improvements and exten.
sions and hope to reach Grange
vile this year. They now have a
perfectly working line from Lewis
ton to Nez Perce, Ferdinand, Lowe,
Cottonwood and Keuterville and
this has been accomplished with
only a portion of the capital stock
being sold. The estimated cost ol
extending the line to this place il
S25OO and to do this they offer tC
sell 2OOO shares of stock at the pal
value of 81 each and believe most
of it should be taken here. The
rates charge by the Cooperative
company are: Residence, 5 party
line, 81 per month; Residence pri
vate line, $l.25 per month; busi
ness, 5 party line, s1.50 per month
business, private line, $500 pei
month; business and residence
private line connected, SO PEI
month.
Besides this reduction in prices
parties having phones in this com
pany here would be permitted t
converse with Denver and Cotton
wood without charge. The saving
in this alone would more than pa.
interest on the investment beside
with competing companies in on
city the service would be bette
and prompter.
The proposition is being well re
ceived by our business men and
is believed the necessary stock ca
be sold with but little difficulty.

OUT FROM MOUNTAINS.
w. A. Wylie Makes Forty Mile
Trip on Snow Shoes.

w. A. Wyllie came out last
week from his stock ranch on the
Clearwater river, 40 miles above
Elk City to secure a permit to run
his stock there this year. The trip
to Elk was made on snow shoes,
and the journey required three
days. Mr.. Wylie is on the forest
reserve and under present rules it
is necessary to get a new permit
each year in order to keep his
stock there. He has been there
number of years and has made
some substantial improvements on
the place and is getting quite a
bunch of stock around him. While
the officials have always treated
him courteously he says the RED
tape necessary to keeping stock or
the reserve is such that he would
not undertake it again and is onl,
kept there now by the work he ha!
already done. He says there is ex
cellenJ range there and a number
of good stock ranges would un
doubtsdly be built up but for thu
strict reserve regulations.

Tried to Burn Jail.

Cottonwood made little bit of
history in the following manner:
A Grangeville attorney and a man
known in Cottonwood as "The
Horse Doctor" came over from
Grangeville in company with Louis
Huff who, as is commonly known
in Grangeville, was under the pro-
lection Of a guardian until the
guardianship was terminated re-
Gently by the death of the guar
dian. Now, as soon as the said
lawyer and "horse doctor" got their
man into Cottonwood they under
took to sell him some Cottonwood
property. According to informa-
tion received by your reporter,
they first tried to make deal with
the firm of Brown & Howe, through
one of the partners, Mr.. Brown.
When Mr.. Brown understood the
situation he told "the horse doc
tor" that he had land to sell but he
was not prepared to do business
with a man that could not protect
himself, and the deal was all off.
They next tried Mr.. Farnsworth OF
the Camas Prairie Land company,
but failed to do business with him.
They next struck ]. M. Wolbert
and closed a deal for some property
belonging to the said J. M. VOL.
bert. But through some hook OF
crook the deal miscarried and then
there was difficulty down at the
hotel where the lawyer and "the
horse doctor" were stopping, and
to settle the trouble the said law
yer and "horse doctor" were LODGED
in the cooler charged with being
drunk and disorderly. The "hors'
doctor" plead guilty and was finet
ten dollars, which he was unabl,
to pay, but which, when the poo
fellows wife in Grangeville refuse'
to furnish him with the necessar,
funds, the people Of COTTONWOOD
paid by passing round the hat
and the said ''horse doctor" nov
has the libersy OF the streets Q
Cottonwood and expressed readi
ness to testify against the faid law
yer who is to be tried on charg
Of breaking out the windows of th
calaboose and trying to burn tn
bedding, he, the said lawyer, ha,
ing been released from the firt
charge and rearrested on a charg
of felony. After the lawyer an
"horse doctor" were jailed, tn
friends OF the old man who ws
their would-be victim sent hil
home on the stage to Grangevill'

Resume Work on Jumbo.

Geo. Filler, D.L. Filler and Chris
Olson, of the Jumbo mine came
up from Lewiston Sunday and with
the exception of Geo. Filler, will
leave today for the Hump to begin
operations. Nick McGree accompa-
MED them and will serve as fore
man on the mine. 1t is the inten-
tion of the company to put the
property in shape and get large
amount of ore ready for milling
before starting the mill.
This will probably be about the
first Of April when the flow OF
water generally starts aud the mill
can then run to its full capacity
without interruption.
Arrangements are being made to
move the general Office from this
place to Lewiston and this will bt
done aa soon as the necessary sig
natures of stock holders can be Sc
cured which is now about complet
ed.

OPENING OF NEW
OPERA HOUSE
Company G Adds More Honor to Their
Organization.
The ARMORY BUILDING CROWDED
The Great Performance of the
1.-The Volunteer"

Without doubt the greatest
dramatic production ever given in
the city, was produced at the new
Armory opera house last Saturday
night by Mr.. L. H. Mitchell and
company of local players assisted
by the members of Co. G, N. G. I.
1t was indeed pleasing sight to
view the new stage procenium and
big drop curtain which contains a
most realistic reproduction Of Fort
San Antonio which was captured
by the Idaho boys in the battle
with the Spaniards. When the
curtain arose on the acts that fol-
lowed there was displayed new
and appropriate scenes for each
location done in a masterful man
ner and reflects much credit on the
artist, Mr.. Leonard Mitchell.
OF the play and players too much
cannot be said in praise of their
individual work, and it should not
be classed as an amature perform
ance.
Walter E. Bunnell, who played
the villain, Diaz, was the part in
all its complications, and with every
situation against him, he never
wavered from the task before him
but lived the part to word. E. E.
Van Vert, as Capt. Hutton, was
manly and played the part in a
careful, forceful manner that bill
ed every requirement of the role.
r. II. Loveless as Lieut.. Merry,
did not need 10 act, he simply lived
the happy young officer in all the
comedy and heroic situations
Harry Wood surprised his mos
intimate friends IN the way hi
handled the big part of the guerills
chieftian. Filson Vert, has
left an indelible impression on the
minds of his audience as an accom-.
plished Irish comedian. Bert Cole
played in IA studious manner thu
part of Mr.. Walton. Allan McLeal
made much of the brother and was
careful in all his scenes which call
ed for pains-taking acting. The
parts of Mr.. Jas. Pearson ant
Mark Robinson were short but con
tained some very careful work.
Among the ladies, Miss Nom
Jean Nickel was never more happi
ly cast than in the part of Car.
Basette, the head nurse. She han
died the heavy scenes in her mos
capable and talented manner. Mis-
Lula Nickel was never in NOR
befitting part than that of tn
young Cuban girl and her actinI
was superb. Miss Nora Wasmun
excelled in the role Of Bess, an
added greatly to the situations i
which she was seen. There is grea
praise due the soldiers for the das
and splendor they added to th
play.
The greatest praise is perhaI
due Mr.. Mitchell for the carefl
schooling and thoughtful manne
in which he studied out the gres
climaxes and brought the big con
pany to perfection in the dram'
tic pictures that made "The Volul
teer" the grand success that ever
body is talking about.

NEW LUMBER MILL.
j. n. Forsman will Install Mod
ern Plant Near Cottonwood.


John III. Forsman was over from
Cottonwood last week and informs
us that he is preparing to install a
new saw mill on the old Forsman
mill site q miles from that town.
1t will not be large mill but
modern in every way and fitted up
to turn out both rough aud finish
ed lumber. Mr.. Forsman will make
a specially Of custom work and
will be prepared to supply complete
orders for buildings on the short
est possible time. He has spent the
greater portion Of his life in the
lumber business and it would be
hard to find one better qualified
for just this line Of manufacturing.
Mr.. Forsman expects to have the
mill in operation by the first Of
April.
