Another Old Timer
Passes Away.
Mrs Charles III. Lake of Flint.
Died of Heart Failure.

Mrs. Jane Lake, wife of Charles II.
Lake, Of Flint, passed to the beyond,
from the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Louis Bernasconi, on Boulder, Tuesday
morning, September 10, i'll the presence
of her husband, children and friends.
The elderly and much esteemed lady
was we'll known to all the older time
residents of Silver City, having as a girl
been married to Mr.. Murray, to whom
she bore one daughter, Jessie, and after
Mr.. Murray's demise, about the year
1876, was uuited to the husband who
now survives her, and to whom she bore
one daughter aud three sous, who with
their father are lett to mourn the loss
OF a kind and gentle mother and loving
wife.
Mrs. Lake was born about 81 years
ago, on the Isle of Man, and came to
this country when a girl, along with
her brothers, Phillip and John Jlegg,
the former still resident OF Pleasant
Valley, this county, aud the latter for
the last several years resident of
Washington, to which state he removed
from this county. Her husband, Mr..
Lake, also came from the Iele Of Man.
With the exception Of her daughter,
Jessie, now married and living at Win
nemucca, Nevada, and her daughters
Salina, now Mrs. Bernasconi, all her
children, Eddie, Ben and Fred, all lived
at home with their parents.
The funeral took place at Jordan Val
ley, Oregon, where other deceased rela-
tives are buried, on Wednesday, with a
large concourse of friends attending
In the absence Of a clergyman, Mr.
Ernest Goudge Of DeLamar, a theolo-
gical student, kindly consented to 60 to
the family home and to Jordan Valley
conduct the services.

THE BANNER.

Mr.. j. B. Thompson, teller of the
Hennepin County National Bank, Min
neapolis, is spending few davs here,
the guest OF MIR. Peter Steele at the
Banner mine, he being stockholder in
the property and here to look at it in
the interest of himself and other Min
nesota people.
Mr.. Thompson is not miner, but as
a business man expresses himself both
surprised aud pleased at the amount of
development work done, and the man
ner in which the large amount of money
is being expended He has inspected
every part OF the mine opened, looked
over all of the l5 claims covering near
ly 300 acres included in the company's
property, with much satisfaction. 1t is
pleasant for the company's manager
and officers TO receive aud show around
such visitors and all persons interested.
Other interested visitors are expected
here withina few days, and it is hoped
thev will look over the camp generally.
A force OF graders and masons are
now busy working on the site for the
mill, and lumber, cement and other
materials for the building are beginning
to arrive. 1t is hoped to have the build
ing under cover while the fine weather
holds out and by the time the machin-
cry begins to arrive.
Only about dozen miners are now
kept employed iu the mines, as sutfi-
cient STOPPING ground is now opened to
keep the mill running for a long time.
The width Of the ledge in the drift
north from the tunnel level has widen
ed until it is now 81 feet at the face.

of the reservoir dams, and the work of
the construction of the great dam will
continue all winter. 1t will impound
an immense body of water supplied
from the drainage of the snow waters
from tie mountains by all the tribu-
taries of Sinker creek, estimated to be
sufficient to supply all the lands to be
reclaimed Hut other and additional
reservoirs above it are contemplated
and provided for, so in no case will
there be deficiency.
Locations on these lands are already
being taken up in advance OF an open
ing by men who foresee how valuable
they will become when supplied with
water, and the day is not far distant
when one may stand on top of War
Eagle or Quicksilver Mountain and
looking Lorthward, instead of viewing
a scene of desolatiou, gray and brown,
except for the narrow streak of anches
of alfalfa aud orchards showing in vivid
green contrast along Sinker, one will
see smiling cultivated fields, orchards,
aud prosperous homes, over broad
stretch of land, peculiarly the home of
the peach, the apple aud the grape.
Likewise it will be the land Of the
melon and the sugar beet, with trans
portation for the latter to the factory
at Nampa, close at hand.
Nugget will endeavor to have repre-
sentative 60 over this ground before
long and learn more regarding who is
behind this big enterprise, and more of
its plans, how soon the land will be
opened for locators etc.

A Near Home Reclamation
Enterprise.

While numerous Carey Act reclama-
tion enterprises are being widely ad-
vertised and times set for openings and
land drawings on the various tracts
now being reclaimed, the fact that a
very important enterprise of this char
acter is making steady progress in this
county in full view f,om the summit OF
War Eagle mountain, seems to be al
most entirely overlooked. We refer to
the Murphy Land and Irrigation com
panY's enterprise, now undertaking the
reclamation of some 5000 acres of as
fine aud fertile lands as the state can
boast OF bordering on The south side of
Snake river and between the railway
station at Murphy and Sinker creek.
The plan includes the construction of a
series of reservoirs to retain the flood
waters of Sinker and conducting the
water by a canal onto these lands.
Quite bit of progress has already been
made on the canal, on Which a large
force of men and teams have been
steadily employed for months, and ex-
cavations have been made for the foun-
da;ion for the first and most important

Mrs. W. D. Evans with her happy

We are glad to hear that Mrs. Treme-
wan is much improved. Mr.. IRENE

We learn that Dan Santry will soon

Mr.. J E. Masters, superintendent OF
the Potosi, returned from Weiser yes
terday, whittier he had gone to attend IA
meeting of the officers of the company.
He returned with instructions to have
the miilsite surveyed at once and begin
grading it for mill The company
hopes to have the building constructed
and ready for the installation Of ma
chinery before winter begins in earnest.
He was also instructed to begin sinking
the shaft 10 the third level, from which
drifts can be run both north and south.
1t was not thought advisable TO run the
second level north because Of the possi-
biity OF water finding its way into it
from the creek under which the vein
runs.
The second cleanup is now being
made at the Addie mill, and it is be-
lieved chat it will show much more sa-
tisfactory results than the former one,
because of the different manner of
treatment adopted.

three miners continuously employed in
developing the property until the deal
is consummated, within one year The
parties going into this are nearly all
practical mining men, employed at the

taken steps for the organization of
company under the laws OF Arizona,
with capital stock of s500,0O0, par val
ue of shares to be $500 each, the follow
ing named men to be officers of the

The ledge upon which the Camp Bird
claims are located was among tile ear.
lier discoveries in this district. 1t was
first located by one of the pioneers OF
the camp.
A milling OF ore was taken to the first
small mill of the district and was work
ed by Robert H. Leonard Sr.. now here
from his home in Lew iston, who states
that be remembers that it bad an assay
value of $50 FER ton, but as the ore re-
quired roasting, its full value could not
be saved at that mill by the methods at
that time used and the claim was
abandoned.
Later on it was relocated and a crush
ing hauled to the Henrietta mill at
Wagontown, where a roaster had been
installed, and yield of $50 per ton se-
cured, but the long haul and the ex-
penses of that time made this unprofit-
able and it was again dropped. 1t has
been located one or more times since,
but nothing came of it until Mr.. Nu-
gent, mill man at Dewey, took it up
in 1905, and last year traced and dug
prospect holes along the ledge, finding
ore for distance OF 800 feet, locating
four claims on it and two on adjoining
ground, making a group of six claims.
He took samples of the ore to DeLamar
and had them tested and then began
the construction of little mill on the
ground to work the ore. This attract
ing other mill men and miners of the
Trade Dollar they formed a syndicate
and mrde bargain for the purchase of
the group, raised the money among
them to make the initial payment and
proceeded to organize company as
above stated and have enough money in
their hands to develop the mine.
They will now, after having taken
stock at so cents per share sufficient to
reimburse them for the money they
have put in. offer more of the stock for
sale at an advance on this figure until
they have raised enough to build mill
and fully equip it to put the property
on a paying basis.
