BUSTER" SMITH
TO ENJOY A REST

Buster" Smith, pioneer prospector,
later miner, but now capitalist, by
the handsome sum he received from the
Bradley y-Mackenzie syndicate for the
Buster mine last summer, left Tuesday
for Lewiston, and from there he will
go to California to spend the winter.
This will be Mr.. Smiths first respite
from the strenuous life in the hills in
"a years, and he no doubt will enjoy, for
time at least, the rest and quiet that
the opportunity will afford. 1t is doubt
full, however, if he can remain away
from the mines longer than the winter,
for he still has property interests here,
and a period of inactivity will be a
burden to one whose life has been as
busy as Mr.. Smiths.
Mr.. Smith is planning on visit to
relatives in England in the spring, and,
if he carries out his plans, he will not
arrive in Elk City before the first Of
next August. He intends then to re-
sumo development work on the Con-
gress group of claims.

GREAT THINGS
FOR THE HUMP

L. C. Hatfield, well-known mining
man, returned last night from tour of
inspection of mining properties in the
Buffalo Hump district, states the Spo-
kane Chronicle. He states that he is
perfectly satisfied that the territory
known as Mineral Hill contains millions
of buried treasure, and that within a
short time the country is bound to have
a great, boom. !.
Mr.. Hatfield is Interested in propo-
sition to run big tunnel through Min
eral Hill to cut the ledges in about 18
claims which have been located for
many years, some of which have been
patented. The owners of these claims
have held on through evil report and
through good report, steadfastly believ-
ing that Buffalo Hump has great fu-
ture.
1t has lately been demonstrated that
the ore in that section is not free mill
ing, as, was generally believed, but now
that the Guggenheims have become
largely interested there, and will un-
doubtedly secure for the section rail
road facilities, interest has revived and
if Mr.. Hatfeld's scheme to run the pro-
posed tunnel through the richest part of
the camp is successful, there will un-
doubtedly be large tonnage from this
mining region.

NEW TRAIL ON
SOUTH FORK

j. R. Hutcheson and A. S. johnson,
of Orogrande, are in the city in the in
terest of the trail up the South Fork Of
the Clearwater to Orogrande, says the
Grangeville Standard-News. This trail
will shorten the distance from Grange
vile to Orogrande by 25 miles and the
distance to Elk City about ten miles,
and best of all will give an all the year
around trail to those thriving mining
districts. The forest reserve force are
assisting in the building of this trail
and will also put in telephone line
from Harpster to Orogrande. This line
will connect with the Grangeyille line
at Harpster and the Elk City-Hump
line at Orogrande. In addition to this
the ranchers and miners living along
the line will have direct connection with
this city and also the Orogrande and
Elk City mining districts. We give be-
low the names Of the firms and citizens
of Grangeville who have contributed to
this worthy enterprise which will open
up one of the richest mining sections of
the county and give the enterprising
miners of that section an outlet to
Sites, Harpster and Grangeville at any
season of the year. Any parties who
have not been seen and wish to con-
tribute to this development of a rich
country can send their contributions to
Orrin Lamb at Orogrande. The follow
ing are the Grangeville donors:

Snowstorm Men Taking
All They Can Get.
NEIGHBoRS GETTING EXCITED
Reasons to Think Something
Big Going to Happen.

Joe Coverly and Ralph and Walter
Pittock, owners of the rich Snowstorm
mining claims on Red river, are so busy
locating unoccupied ground in their
neighborhood that they have attracted
the attention of neighboring property
holders, and the settled opinion is that
the Snowstorm owners have been '1et
in'' on the plans and purposes of some
big corporation in that vicinity, if they
themselves are not parties in the deal.
There is ground for the suspicious of
the neighbors. Mr.. Coverly spent the
summer in Chicago and other points in
Illinois, and the Pittock brothers were
in Lewiston and Spokane. Since their
return few weeks ago they have been
active in location work, and up to the
first of the week their new holdings ex-
tend distance of over two miles along
the river, comprising 320 acres sup
posed to be placer ground.
Placer Paid $40 to Man.
Asked the object of these new loca-
tions, Mr.. Coverly inadvertently re-
marked that he and the Pittcck boys
are very hopeful of the future on Red
river, and the taking up of more ground
was merely in the line of work Of a
shrewd prospector who sees an oppor-
tunity to better his condition by adding
to his property holdings. ''The new
ground, alone, that we have located has
value enough to warrant the location, -
said Mr.. Coverly. ga number Of the
bars included were worked in crude way
by the Chinese in the placer days, and,
l am correctly informed, the sand paid
as high as $40 to the man. The gold
was secured by shoveling the gravel into
boxes and in only few places was the
bed rock reached.
In the placer days there was big
camp at the mouth of Red Horse creek,
and the old saw mill building and the
dume are still there.
Cause of Activity.
Neighboring prospectors ascribe two
reasons for the activity of the owners
of the Snowstorm, and both may be
correct; one is that company has been
formed to develop the Snowstorm prop
erty, and the other is that the great
water power at that point is to be util-
lied. A fact worthy of consideration
is that all of the new locations are be-
low the point where the power plant
would be built. I'D.

Ten Mile and South Fork
Viii Do the Work.
PLANT WILL COST $4,000
Will Be Built Next Spring BY
Chicago Capitalists.

Jacob Schlosser, of Chicago, presi-
dent of the Umatilla Mining company,
and others have located power site on
the South Fork of the Clearwater river
near the mouth of Ten Mile creek, on
which they will install large plant
next spring, for the purpose of furnish
ing power to operate a new stamp mill
that is to be placed on the Umatilla
property, and to distribute power to
properties in Orogrande, Buffalo Hump,
Newsome and Elk City mining districts.
The power company is Separate and dis
tinct from the Umatilla Mining COM
pany and is composed chiefly of Chicago
men. The location was made while Mr..
Schlosser was looking after business
here last summer, since when his engi-
neer has made careful surveys, esti-
mates, blue print charts, etc., which
are now in the hands of the men who
are enterprising the affair. The esti-
mated cost of the new power plant is
$40, 900.
Scheme Described.
1t is claimed the plant will develop
740O h. at low stage of the water
To attain this marvellous power the
waters from Ten Mile creek and the
Clearwater will be united, the water
from Ten Mile passing through pipe
line three and half miles in length anC
the water from the Clearwater Lbeine
conducted to the plant through fiumt
one and three-fourths miles long. The
fall in both streams at the points trav
ersed by the conduits is great. A
high stage of the water 10, 900 h. p. cal
be developed.
Will Distribute Power.
The new power company will be il
position to furnish power to a numbe
of companies. Primarily it was Mr.
Schlosser's intention to find a site tha
would generate power for the Umatill'
plant, but when he came across the sit
mentioned he saw in it an opportunit.
for safe investment promising big re
turns, and he quickly took advantag
of it. Aside from owning a propert.
that is one Of the most promising, Mr.
Schlosser is very optimistic on the re
suits that are to follow consistent an
legitimate mining in these districts
He believes there is great future fo
mining interests in central Idaho, an
he is going about it in the right way t
establish his company here.

NEW ROUTE TO MARKET.
Western Shippers VIII Look to the
Hudson Bay Railroad.

The utter blockade of eastbound
northwestern states and western Can
ada has given great impetus to the
agitation for a short route to Europe
by way of Hudson Bay, says the Re-
view of Reviews for June.
Any schoolboy looking at a globe
knows that the distances east and
west are shorter toward the pole than
toward the equator. From Japan to
Liverpool by way of San Francisco Is
1900. miles; by way Of Seattle, 10,-
500 miles; by way of Vancouver-Mon-
treal, 10000 miles; by way of Prince
Rupert-the new Grand Trunk ter
minus-and Montreal, $500 miles, and
yb way of Prince Rupert and Hudson
boy, S275 miles.
Take a map and look at the Allan
tic seaports. New York and Montreal
are both on the broadest belt Of Amer
ica-both at the greatest possible dis
tances from the western shipper.
Look at the little fur post of
Churchill, up on Hudson bay. It is
from 1900 to 1000 miles nearer the
western shipper than New York or
Montreal. The spokes of a wheel
running from San Francisco and Den
yer and Salt Lake and Portland and
Vancouver and Edmonton to a huh
at Churchill are just half as long as
the spokes of wheel running from
these points to Montreal or New
York.
This is the fact as to distance. II
means that a railroad to Hudson bay
would cut the haul of the big trans
continental roads in half and move
Liverpool 1000 miles nearer western
shippers.
One hardly needs to add that sucf
project has been and will be furi'
eusly opposed by eastern seaports
and railroads that feed those seaports
For 25 years railroad projects from
| Winnipeg to Hudson bay have simpl!
been blanket charters smothered ant
kept in allegiance by rival railroads
but a change has come.
