OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING
Free-Will- o ffering Will Swell
Amount to Meet States
Appropriation.

The executive committee of the Good
Roads League of Elk City has been in
formed through official channels that
the county commissioners of Idaho
county at their meeting in Grangeville
last week, went to the limit Of their
constitutional rights and appropriated
81 900 toward the improvement of the
Stites-Elk City wagon road.
And the committee has more encour-
aging news than that to report: The
communications sent out to the heads of
the various mining companies two weeks
ago have, number of them, been
heard from, and all of the writers are
of the same opinion-that good road
between Sites and the mining districts
will be of more real value to all persons
concerned than anything else the dis
tricts could acquire at this time. There
is no begging the question and no lncli-
nation to debate the matter in any of
the correspondence received to date.
Opinions are all the same; the letters
are of the most encouraging nature.
Some of the writers want to know when
the amount subscribed is to be paid,
and others ask the somewhat amusing
question how much the committee wants
from their company, indicating a will
ingness to contribute their share in as
sisting in pushing the good work along.
The answer to the first question has
been that the treasurer, Mr.. G. L. l..
Basket, will receive subscriptions at
any time, giving the subscriber receipt
for the same; that it is the hope of the
committee to have the cash or its equiv
alent on hand June 1st, to satisfy Gov.
|
Gooding that the county has raised its
share, and the money from the sale of
the state bonds is due. To the second
question the committee has answered
that no stated sum has been asked of
any individual or company. and that
no stated sum will be asked. The road
improvement league is patriotic or
ganization, whose cause is so just that
only free-will offering from those who
will be benefited is asked. The COM
mittee at its first meeting canvassed its
work, made out a list of the towns,
districts and companies and set opposite
those names the amount that could be
expected from each. The Mining News
is pleased to report that all the sub
scriptions and promises so far have
/, met the expectations of the committee
However, it is not to be expected tina
this good luck will continue; it has beel
, learned that number of companies
, whose names were included in the com
mittee's first list are not in existenc
, know, and there are other companie
, who have no local representatives, an
, who cannot be reached by mail becaus
, their postoffice address is not known
r Commissioner and Engineer Named.
! After considerable argument on tn
part of the committee to get Hor
D James Surridge to fill place in tn
road commission Mr.. Surridge has a

27 MEN WORK
AT BUSTER
Many Crosscuts to Be Made
Important Move is Ex-
pected Soon.

From force of eighteen miners two
weeks ago the crew before the begin
ming of the coming week will have been
increased to 27 men, and two shifts will
be doing duty in the blacksmith shop.
The Mining News learns through chan
nels that are not official that this in
creased activity at the Buster is the be-
ginning of the dressing up' on the big
property to prepare it for the inspec-
tion by Mr.. F. w. Bradley and his as
sociates, which is generally supposed
to be part of the program between
now and July 1st. At any rate, much
sampling is now being done and great
efforts are being made to determine the
exact width of ore bodies in different
parts of the property. Crosscutting the
ledge every 20 feet along the raise was
begun two weeks ago. The ledge along
the east and the west drifts from the
sump will now be crosscut, also the
ledge in the drift ahead in the lower
tunnel.
Work That Hos Been Done.
The total sum up of the work done in
the Buster since it was taken under
bond by the big California mining com
pany last September, is greater thar
that done by the same size force anC
equal time on any mining property il
central Idaho, and, maybe, the whole
state of Idaho. Depth of 300 feet ha
been reached by double compartment
shaft; 10O-foot raise has been made;
20-foot sump has been formed at tn
lower level and 100-foot drifts run bot
directions; station has been forme,
300 feet from the mouth of the lowe
tunnel, large enough to accommodate
the hoist engines; the drift in the lowe
tunnel has been pushed over 100 fee
farther. In addition to that name
much surface and placer work has bee
done.

CHIEF SNAKE STORY
 FOR SEASON OF 1907

A Boonville, Ind. newspaper man gets the first prize for telling the biggest lie of the snake season. He says:
 Holding forth in his wooden throne along the banks of the lazy Wabash, surrounded by a royal retinue, the largest rattlOsnake in the world, no doubt, is living. for the farmers in the locality of Grayville, H., recently have been served a taste of the mon- ster reptiles strength.
 "The monster rattler recently made an incursion on the Brey farm, and there devastated property for several hours. When discovered by Brey the reptile was blowing up rows of pota. toes for the frightened farmer, who flung a bar of iron at the reptile. The bar weighed fifty pounds.
 Although Brey hit the snake, it curled itself around the bar and car ried it of, taking such hurdles as hedges and rail fences in it's flight. More than a dozen rails and three yards of hedge were destroyed. At last the reptile released the bar, which was bent into a horseshoe shape.
 ''Brey, near whose farm the retreat of this snake is located, has for more than three years worn rubber boots to protect himself against snake bites. The rattler's hundreds of scouts are constantly on the watch and thous- ands of snakes are said to abocnd along the river banks.
 "Dynamited, fired upon, his retreat; subjected to every known method of extirpation, the great snake, defiant of them all, has withstood the attacks with seeming impunity. Hundreds of small rattlers have been killed this summer by the angry farmers of the neighborhood, but never have they even injured the terror of the Wa bash.
 Some of the acts perpretrated by the smaller, slimy animals are those of sucking Cggs, stealing chickens milking COWS, hugging women, fight ing duels to death with rats, girdl ing trees. Hundreds of trees have been killed by the reptiles in this manner, it is claimed.
 This snake is supposed to be the lone that has infested the Rattlesnakt | bluff, near Carmi, H., for the last ter years. At any rate, the reptile is tht terror Of the Wabash and the wors property wrecker that ever inhabited the neighborhooi of Grayyille." |

WILL FORCE CLEANING UP.

On account of the absolute disre- gard of the orders of the city health department by some persons who were directed to clean up their premises, about two weeks ago, it is very probable that during the coming week, some of the negligent ones will be haled into court on 8 misdemeanor charge. Inspector Elliott and Dr. F. R. Williams made the rounds two weeks ago, and ordered some house holders to clean up, but on investiga- tion the past two days the sanitary of fieer has found that in some cases the orders were disregarded. The health authorities are determined to keep the city as clean as possible.

MUST PAY HEAVY FINE

Yesterday morning Ellen McHenry the negress who was arrested in the tenderloin district on Thursday night by Sheriff White on charge of sell ing liquor without a license, and was found guilty by jury on Friday, was arraigned in Justice Hogan's court for sentence.

navy department.
From the best information obtained,
Sutton, in company with Second Lieu
tenant R. U. Adams and e. P. Hook
Ter, returned to the marine camp at
1880 o'clock this morning. after hav-
ing attended dance given at the

'
Washington and Tennessee Go Ahead
Of eattisships.
The first step in President Roose-
'velt's plan to send a monster battle
ship feet to the Pacific has been taken.
When the special service squadron,
the two monster new armored cruis-
ers, Tennessee and Washington, passed
out from Hampton Roads Saturday
afternoon, they started on 10000
mile journey to San Francisco.
Rear Admiral Sebree is in command.
Captain B. Howard is on the Tennes-

the Washington. They are two of the
youngest captains in the service.
At Magdalena bay the two ships
will 60 through regular naval man
euvers in company with the two new
armored cruisers, California and South

in that vicinity. The California is in
commission and it is expected that the
South Dakota will be ready for &C.
tive service by the time the special
service squadron arrives on the Pa
cific coast.

Brought Results.

The results Of the experiments Of
the State college at Pullman, in We
natchee valley, are now at hand, after
a years waiting, and they are very sue
cessful. Professors Melander and
Trumble have been conducting the ex-
periments, and they have been in the
orchards Of men who operate fruit
farms in the Wanatchee valley.
In the orchard Of 2. A. Lanham,
where there were 5000 boxes of apples
that were wormy last year, this year
there were only six boxes found. On
examining the apples raised in the
Lanham orchard the two Pullman men
found only 10 boxes of apples out Of
1000 that had been even attacked by
worms.

He took . small-sized pin and in a
