JONES SAYS
DISTRICT GOOD

j. H. Jones returned yesterday from
a ten days trip to the Newsome dis
trict where he had been making an in
spectfon of placer properties, says the
Lewiston Tribune. He states that
there is considerable activity through
out the district. There has been an
abundance of water this season which
has enabled the owners of placer ground
to work their property to a greater ad-
vantage than for several years past.
A number of the owners are still piping
gravel but in most cases they have
made the seasons cleanup and it is said
to give better results than for some
years past. The future outlook for the
Newsome and Elk City districts, Mr..
Jones says, is very bright. Many mil
lions in gold have been added to the
money supply from these districts and
the prospects are that they will add
many millions more to the nations gold
supply.

Gold Point Sale Closed.

The final payment on the Gold
Point mining property was made
Monday afternoon at the store of
The o. c. Lapp Co., Ltd, where
all the papers had been in escrow.
This rich mining property is now
owned by T. j. Kelly and o. L.
Smith, formerly of Newport,
Washington, but now of Elk
City.
Mr.. Smith announces that
stamp mill is to be erected on the
property in the near future. Mr..
Kelly, who is "a merchant and
banker in Newport, left for the
outside as soon as it was known
that the deal was going through,
to place orders for machinery.
It was the intention to buy the
mill on the Lucky Lad property
in Buffalo Hump district, but hav-
ing failed in that Mr.. Kelly is
now looking over machinery in
Spokane.
Mr.. Kelly wrote Mr.. Smith the
first of the week that laboratory
tests made of the ore prove that
cyanide process will also have to
be used in order to get more than
40 per cent of the values.

ELK CITY THE MAGNET
Prospectors Leaving Other
Camps to Come Here.

The building improvements mentioned
in Mining News three weeks ago are
now well under way, and the appear
ance of the town is such that visitor
seeing the place for the first time would
very naturally think that he had come
to mining camp that was in the midst
of a big boom. That is the way Elk
would impress stranger. With citi-
zen it is different; you can't get any
of the old residents to say there is a
boom on, and even the tenderfoot who
has been attracted recently by chance
for fortunein the next boom camp
in the northwest won acknowledge the
corn when piled for an answer in the
affirmative. 1t appears people don't
fancy the word boom any more at
least when applied to prosperity in a
mining camp-b but nevertheless it must
be said that in Elk at the present time
there is quite stir. Citizens ears
have become accustomed to the noise
from the pounding of hammers and
dragging of saws, the appearance of a
new structure has become common
place, but this serenity is not a
part of the life of the contractors and
builders, who at present are finding it
difficult to secure carpenters to carry Oh
the work they have in hand. The short
age of men capable of executing work
by orders from the contractors is partly
made up by employing common labor
ers, but if building keeps up carpenters
will have to be brought from the out
side.

Building Notes.

Work on the office building for DIR. j.
D. Shinnick, which is to be built north
of the new Mining News building, was
begun Wednesday morning by Contrac-
tor W. F. johnson. The building is to
have 18 feet frontage and will be,34
feet deep. 1t will be nicely finished
inside and out and will be the largest
building in town used exclusively for
office purposes.
The new kitchen being built at Hotel
Parr is now enclosed and the roof is be-
ing put on. Plans for the L addition
have been perfected, and construction
will be started as soon rs lumber can be
secured.
The new addition to the Elk hotel for
storage room was completed Monday.
The new addition will give more room
for lodging quarters.
Several new arrivals in camp are pre-
pairing to build cabins. Two men from
Warrens are going to build on S. Main
street; cabin is to be built on the
ridge near the old American Hill placer,
the ground having been located as a
homestead.
Two professional men and business
man are also considering plans for new
buildings, and their decisions on the
matter probably can be announced soon.

ON ELIGIBLE ROUTE
Seeking to Connect Kooskia
and Nez Perce Pass.

The o. R. & N. surveyors who have
been at work all summer on. the Selwai
river making permanent their surveys
of year ago have made agreement
with the forest rangers to unite forces,
for the purpose of carrying on work,
for both the government and the rail-
way company all winter The forestry
has plans to connect Kooskia and Elk
City by telephone, this winter, instead
of next summer, as was reported by
Mining News some time ago, and the
railway men are assisting in cutting
trails to facilitate construction work
which, it is reported is soon to begin.
Kooskia-E Elk Telephone.
Gus Heating and Adolph Weholt, two
of the forest rangers who were working
on the Iron Mountain -Newsome trail,
were the first of the week sent to join
the forces on the Selwai river. There
are now 20 men in the crew, and they
are near the falls which is short dis
tance on the Selwai above the confu-
ence of that stream with the Locsa. 1t
is reported the united forces of the for
estry service and the railway company
will grade and make wider the trail that
has been made along the river the past
summer, and when this is completed
they will build over the divide, to the
Dick Shines ranch on American river
and from there to the valley road that
leads to Elk City. The trail course will
be cut Is feet in width.
Surveyors Coming to Elk.
0. R. & N. officials are the principal
men named in the articles of incorpora-
tion of the Bitter Root Valley railway
company, which recently were filed in
Portland and in Lewiston, and the plans
of the company's surveyors to carry on
their work through the winter appears
to prove the construction work is to be
started at an early date. 1t was not
expected, however, that the railway
surveyors would leave the river, and
because of that the announcement that
they are coming over the divide makes
sure that at least a pin line" will be
staked in the Elk basin. Whether
the survey is made for spur or a
through line is question no person out
side of the railway company projecting
the road knows anything about. In de-
scribing the route to be follCwed the
company's incorporation articles, in re-
ferring to that portion between Kooslxia
and the Nez Perce pass, says AN eligible
route in an easterly direction. 1t has
been reported time and time again by
engineers that the company that builds
along the Selwai will have costly con-
struction work for a great distance
above the falls. The fact that an engi-
neer by name of Ray looked over the
ground between the falls and Red river
before the snow went off last spring
and has made two trips to that district
since, and the further fact that the sur
veyors are leaving the river just below
the falls and are crossing the Clear
water-Elk divide in low saddle, sup
ports the. theory that the new survey
is for the purpose of finding the "elig.
f, iible' route between Kooskia and the
Nez Perce trail.

ors.
