GOLD BRICK FROM
CRACKERJACK

The Grangeville Standard-News re-
ports A. S. Holmes, superintendent of
the Crackerjack Mining & Milling com
pany, Hump district, brought to
Grangeville last week gold brick
worth $1,000, the result of the last
cleanup at the mill.
The property has been shut down for
the winter owing to the freezing wea-
ther which has diminished the water
supply to such an extent that there is
not now sufficient power to run the
plant. The mill did not start until late
in the season on account of SO much
dead work being necessary prior to the
Jun; Several gold bricks were sent out
this summer and fall from the prop
erty.

THUNDER MT.
WILL TREAT ORE

S. L. Boyer, manager at Thunder
Mountain mine, went to Spokane last
Saturday, after having spent several
days at the property inspecting and di-
recting the work.
Mr.. Boyer reports good results have
been obtained from the work the past
few weeks, but it is an indication and
not the measure of what is to be ac-
complished. A big campaign of devol-
opment has been mapped out. Con-
tracts have been let for several hundred
feet. Two compressors are at work.
A new 40 horse power boiler has been
added to the mill equipment, giving the
company 100 horse power. Arrange
ments are being made to treat ore this
winter.

KEEP ON WITH
DEVELOPMENT

All mining companies which have
funds on hand are urged to continue
development work at this time, espe
cially the companies owning lead and
copper properties, says the Spokane
Chronicle, for. though the price of
these two metals is low at present, it
cannot always stay down, and the man
ayers of the mines should endeavor to
open up their properties to a productive
point in order that they may be able to
take advantage of higher metal prices
when they come.
One common error among mining
men and. mining companies, especially
those companies owning only prospects,
is to work at development when the
price of metals is high, and to close
down when the price slumps. Produc-
ing mines, copper producers for in
stance, should close down when the
price of the metal falls so low that
profits are but narrow, for it is folly to
gouge out ore when it nets no returns,
but the companies owning the prospects
should strain every energy to develop
their properties to a, producing point
now, then they will be able to make
money when the metal market rights
itself again.

BIG SANDY
TO BE WORKED

The Big Sandy Gold Mining company
has leased the old Buckeye ditch and
water rights for a period of five years,
says the Sites Sentinel. A crew of
men have been repairing and otherwise
improving the ditch all summer, and it
is now in good shape except little
f1uming, which will be closed up as soon
as lumber can be had. Mr.. Otterson,
president of the company, expects to
commence operations just as soon as
the water starts in the spring. They
expect to put in donkey" engine
this winter.
Portland capital alone Is interested in
the Big Sandy "diggings," and know
ing Mr.. Otterson's experience, which
covers wide field and over 27 years of
time, they have confidence that if any
body can make winning" it is George
Otterson, and as the ground covered by
the company's holdings averages so
cents per cubic yard, and assays have
shown as high IS So, it is a safe guess
they will prove winner, as the machin-
cry now expected includes a Pefey hy-
draulic elevator, with auxiliary up-to-
date dredging machinery, with which
machinery Mr.. Otterson is perfectly ia
miliar. For the past IL years he has
been operating in Alaska, the past four
of which he has had charge of the Sill
yer Bow placers, the oldest and largest
mine in that country. In connection
with the other machinery to be in
stalled, an electric light plant is con-
templated, and asked about what stock
in the company was selling for, Mr.. OF
terson replied, "There is no stock for
sale." which speaks louder than words.

cupy it.
Charley Tiedeman and Charley Sven
son are getting lumber with which to
build on their lot across street from the
new Mining News building.
Road construction was discontinued
Wednesday until spring, on account of
the heavy snow. The new 3O0-foot
bridge across Elk creek was completed
late Wednesday afternoon, and was
opened for travel Thursday morning.
]. M. Crunk has bought of j. M.
Anderson the piece of ground that
fronts on Main street between Odd Fell
lows temple and the Lynch residence,

Big Addition to Hotel Parr.
The first new addition to Hotel Parr,
which has been in course of erection for
the past six weeks, is now practically
complete. The new addition includes
kitchen, bath, store room and bed
rooms. Some of the rooms have been
occupied since the latter part Of last
week, but the kitchen paraphernalia
was not moved into the new room until
Thursday of this week. The large
storage tank for fire protection and do
mestic use, holding 5000 gallons and
situated on tower 70 feet above the
ground, was finished Wednesday. The
improvement gives much more room to
the hotel, the rooms are large, airy and
pleasant. The dining room will now be
enlarged, after which construction work
will be started on the large l. addition
to be built facing the street. When
all the proposed improvements are com
pleted Hotel Parr probably will be the
largest hotel in central Idaho.

Natwick & Harris Go At
Business Right.
BIG PLANT BUILD ON RED RIVER
Turn Out Building Material
EARLY in Spring.

Barring a continued stringency in
money matters and other misfortunes
tnat might for a time retard the pro-
gress of the district, there will be in
operation on Red river early next spring
brand new sawmill, completely equip
ped to furnish building material to meet
the demands of growing mining camp.
Dave Natwick and w. S. Harris will be
the owners of the new mill. Mr.. Nat
wick has for number of years been
associated with w. R. Bullock in the
mill west of town, which now passes to
the new firm. Mr.. Harris is Mrs. Bull
locks father, and the family formerly
lived in this district. Mr.. and Mrs.
Harris arrived Saturday from Portland,
and the new company and plans were
made the first of this week.
Location of New Mill.
The new sawmill will be located on
Red river in order to draw its supply of
raw material from the yellow pine
along that stream, but at what point is
not yet decided. The most of the yell
low pine, and the best, is about ten
miles above Elk City. Two sites on the
river are under consideration; one west
of town near where the Orogrande road
crosses the river, and the other near
the dredge, eight miles southeast of Elk
City. The first mentioned offers the
advantage of Being near larger mar
ket, but it would be difficult to get big
log booms down the river where it
courses through the hills south of town.
The other site mentioned is centrally
located for Elk City and Dixie business,
and booming the logs to it would be an
easy matter as the entire distance is
through lowlands and meadows. Mr..
Harris and Forest Ranger Durant went
out Wednesday to scale the timber,
make surveys and look after other mat
ters that will be necessary to the trans
fer. The yellow pine belt that touches
Red river at that point is said to be the
largest and best merchantable timber
in the district, and extensive enough to-
keep small mill running for several
years. s fas
Mill BE Well Equipped.
The new mill will turn out all kinds
of lumber that is used for building pur-
poses. The machinery will include
saws, planers, joiners and shingle
equipment.
AS soon as the site for the mill is de-
cided building operations will be begun,
so the mill can turn out lumber early in
the spring. The new firm will endeavor
to keep on han supply of seasoned
lumber to meet the demands of the
trade at all times.

Mill Be Running in Next
Few Days.
MINING HAS BEEN RESUMED
20 Men Will Be Employed in
Underground Work.

Actual mining was resumed at the
Buster mine Tuesday morning of this
week, and Superintendent Joseph Thorn
states that the underground force will
be added to gradually until probably 20
men will be employed. A number of
men employed on the construction work
and installing machinery are slated for
underground work and will gradually
take their places there as the surface
work is completed. A day shift only
will be employed for the present, it be-
ing the plan to treat only the ore taken
out while blocking out and ascertaining
the dimensions of the ore bodies. Two
men are employed shoveling ore from
the dumps and filling the bins for the
purpose of making mill test and to
''fill up the cracks"
Will Make a Raise.
The first breaking of rock was done
on the east face in level No. 3, from
which point raise will be made to the
surface, 300 feet. The mouth of the
raise will be about 200 feet east of the
main working shaft.
Mr.. Thorn states no more sinking will
be done for the present, but all under
ground work will be concentrated on
the raise and in extending the levels
along the veins.
Run Mill This Week.
The new 1O-stamp mill will be ready
Tor use the latter part of this week or
the first of next. Trial runs have been
made of the concentrators, and it has
been found that the adjustments are
perfect.
The cyanide plant is sort of sighted
in the hurry to get the mill running.
One of the storage tanks is completed.
A building has been built over the hoist
engine, and VIM. Erricson is in charge
of the station.
The ore crusher is working.
Though the mill will be running
within the next few days the finishing
of the buildings will require several
weeks.

SUIT IS DISMISSED;
JOHNSON EXONERATED

The suit. filed some time ago by
A. D. Myers and G. l.. Richard of
the Ely Calumet Copper company
against M. M. Johnson on the charge
of defrauding them out of $4,000
on an alleged fraudulent mining deal,
has been withdrawn by the plaintiffs.
The suit arose from misunder-
standing as to the terms of min
ing deal involving the transfer of
the Manila group of mining claims.
This misunderstanding has been adj
justed and the withdrawal of the suit
is the result.
At the time the suit was filed con-
siderable publicity was given the
matter, and in order to be absolute
ly fair and just to Mr.. johnson, Mr..
Rickard has issued the following
signed statement, generating John
son from blame and culpability in
the matter:
ITO whom it may concern:-Owing
to a misunderstanding as to the con-
flict and claims of other parties on
the Manila group of claims purchased
by myself and associates, suit was
brought against M. M. johnson al
leging fraud, etc. wish to state that
all complications have been amicably
settled and said suit has this day
been withdrawn and Mr.. johnson ex-
onerated from any intention of
fraud. (Signed)

ETERNAL ENDURANCE
OF CHR|ST'S GOSPEL
REV. G. G. HUNTING DECLARES
TEACHINoa ARE FOR ALL
AGES OF MANKIND.

The Rev. G. c. Hunting, of st.
Bartholomew Episcopal church, de-
livered an interesting sermon last
evening before large congregation
in Good Time hall. The topic of the
discourse was the Everlasting Cos
pei, taken from the text written in
Revelations, 14:6, as follows: And
| saw another angel fly in the midst
of heaven, having the everlasting
gospel to preach unto them that dwell
on the earth, and to every nation and
kindred, and tongue and people.
Not many years ago, said the
Rev. Mr.. Hunting, there was pub
lished a book entitled The Gospels
of Yesterday 1t discussed at some
length the writing of many men of
our own and past generations, who
in their time caught the ear of men,
and analysed with much insight the
opinions expressed.
LAS we think of it, how many have
been the gospels of yesterday. How
many doctrines have been set forth
and for the moment subscribed to.
They lasted as long as they could
and then passed away. Among these
gospels of yesterday there is one that
remained constant for nearly 19t.
years. 1t will | am sure have the
sure and certain reversion of the flu
ture.
This gospel of Jesus Christ is the
universal gospel for it appeals to all
that is universal in man, and also
to all that is peculiar in man. The
gospels of yesterday were doomed
because they appealed to what is
transient and partial in human ma
ture. Religious gospels passed away
because they were the religions of
but single nation, and not adapted
to other parts of the world.
1.-The gospel of Confucius, Ma
homet, Buddha was only adapted to
a peculiar people. The philosophers
of the past were addressed only to a
select section of the community, as
the one of the school in Athens which
had inscribed over it's door, Let none
ignorant of mathematics enter here
every generation has had it's
apostle that has seemed to have
brought forth the right philosophy.
In our day pragmatism seems to
have all the earmarks of permanency.
It's ever recurring question, What is
the result, and its teaching that all
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1907-09-30

things are to be judged by their good
result ultimately on human nature
would seem to be almost ideal as
scheme of living, but as we consider
the history of philosophy we become
skeptical.
THE glory of the everlasting Cos
pei of Christianity is that its teach
ing is addressed to what is character
istic in humanity what is absolutely
the same in human beings, whether
rich or poor, here or there, then or
now. The great watchwords of the
Gospel of Christ, soul, purity, life,
eternity, have been the watchwords
of the human race in all time.
ANY religion or philosophy that
can tell how the soul is to be saved,
how sins may be done away and for
given, how this life on earth is to be
lived, and that death is not a great
dream of terror but the entrance into
life full of new powers and posi-
biities will always have an audience
and following.
christianity has message for
what is peculiar in every man and
nation. The seekers after truth to-
day are finding facts undreamed of
in the past, the generations yet UNI
born will find truths of which we do
not dream, and all peoples tina. shall
come some day to acknowledge the
Christ shall find. in this everlasting
gospel truths applicable to their time
and environment.
THE reason for it all is that Chris
tianity presents o the world not a
scheme of ideas but a living person.
ality. A hero to be adored is the be-
quest of Christ to the world. Men
will argue forever over philosophy,
but they will follow a leader to the
death.
christianity stands for the doing
of things and doing them We'll, not
for formula. Christianity is a pur-
pose dominating mans life power
full enough to enable him to get
things done, and done well, and to
make his purpose greater than his
work and his range of vision larger
than his work, and his ability to sac
rifice all for the ultimate good all
powerful"
