INTERPRETERS WITH HISTORY.
Yakima Transportation Company
Not Helping Indians.

The Yakima Valley Transporta-
ton company, while it may be maxi
ing history in some respects, is in
terfering with it as well. A. j.
Splawn, the genial PRECEDENT of that
company, and one of the best known
of the Yakima pioneers. finds that
engineering the construction OF an
electric road and writing a history of
the Indians of this section is incom-
patible and consequently the history
has been placed on the shelf until
some future day, when there ceases
to be squabbles between railway
boards and paving men and city
councils. The history of the In
dams has advanced to a certain ex-
tent and promises to be of un
bounded interest providing Mr..
Splawn discovers time to finish his
labors in that direction.

JACK LITTLE, OLD NEVADA MIN
ER, PULLS ORE FROM DIRT.
Discovery His Boen Kept Secret up
to This Time-Number of
Claims Are Filed

Jack Little, miner and prospector,
lately of the Goldfe1d regions, is re.
spOnsible for a gold strike near Tam
pico which promises TO cause great
rush to the Yakima country. The
strike was made some time ago, but
has been kept strict secret until
yesterday. when word was received
that free milling ore had assaSed to
$40 ton. which is considered good
for this class of ore.
The strike was made in the path
OF the big cloudburst which rushed
down between Tampico and Soda
Springs about three years ago. The
lead was discovered in the path of
tae cloudburst. Following the lead
for about half a mile Little discov-
cred the richest ore. 1t is stated BY
wen known miners that if the ore of
this variety assayed but SIS ton
here would be a pocket full OF
money in It for the prospectors.
The place whore the gold strike
was made is located about % miles
from the city. and up to this time
hn- a few local people knew of the
GOOD luck Of Little. Several claims
have been fled in the Tampico re-
gion however, by local miners, who
believed that there was money IN
the ountry b that vicinity
