MANDAN
DO It TODAY
THE TOWN WHICH FoRGETs TO-
MORROW IN THE THOUGHT
or. TO-DAY is a WINNER

j
The following article, clipped from
The lie Seur News Journal, Mimi,
is applicable to this part:
The future. What a habit it is to
say tomorrow, forgetting that tomor-
row may never come. Life is short.
Why do all put OFF the benefits they
might enjoy until tomorrow !? The
usual excuse is the cost. And when
the time comes to journey hence none
take money with them. The gold
standard dollar is no good there.
stBuild today is the best motto.
Don't forget the new bandstand)
Get things coming your way. Then
it is easy. The town which cuts out
tomorrow and substitutes today is
the one where success is always
found. The same success comes to
the man who acts this way. What
viii help in the future viii do more
good now. A kind word spoken when
one is in need is better than a brass
band at funeral.

Linton
(Record, 9th

Adam Ohlhauser, while making
purchases in Linton Tuesday Of last
week. lost his pocketbook containing
$50 in bills and onecent piece. So
far he has heard nothing from 1t.
The town was so full Of people
from the north country last week
here on the Dewey-Snyder contest
that the Record couldn't begin to
get a full list Of 'em.
& The grain corps are doing nicely,
so far. However, little rain before
long wouldn't do any harm. Some
parts of the county have received
twice as much as other parts during
the last two weeks.
The working of the cement block
making plant of the Linton State
bank people at their new building is
an object Of considerable interest.
The. blocks that are being made are
of good quality, and seem to answer
the purpose as well as the natural
stone. IN
The town well is proving to be a
good thing for townspeople as well
as farmers. These warm days peo-I
pie on Broadway are often seen par
taking OF nice, cool drink there.
There is plentiful supply Of water,
and, as much Of it is used, it is al
.,sr ana cool That town well
was a good idea.
People who contest claims, and.
those who are brought in as wit
nesses, should be careful what they
swear to. A man whose wife's
claim was contested left yesterday en-
route for washington. and says he Isl
going to find out whether there Is
any punishment for swearing to
something that is disproved by docu-
mentary evidence. ss
Sheriff Jones was called to the
Braddock country last week to take
in custody Leonard Driver. who was
again acting as though he were Of
unsound mind. He was brought be-
fore the insanity board at Linton, and
by them it was ordered that he be
consigned to the asylum at James

have been run, opening up large ore
body carrying values running. from $50
to more than 5000 ton.

BEAVER OBsTRtJCT
PLACER DITCHEs

Schuyler Simmons, who is operating
his placer on upper Red Horse; reports
beaver have become so numerods along
the stream that their dams Interfere
with. his work. Nr. Simmons was
made to realize what it means to be "as
busy as beaver" a few days ago.
When he started to Cleanup he left the
gates in. the resetvoir part way open:
He noticed for several days gradual
lowering of the water in the stream
near where he was at work. Nsighbor-
ing prospectors flung taunting and
mystifyihg remarks about a "fuli tank"
as they passed At last the limit was
reached; there was no more room in the
reservoir so the surplus water began
seeking. other levels. Its course lay
along the trail for several rods, and it
wasn't long after the overflow started
until the path was obscured and danger
GUS to travel. Upstream neighbors
registered a protest. Mr. Simmons
made visit to the reservoir and busted
/ suspender trying to lift the gates, but
they wouldn't bulge. A long leverage
was secured, but the gates were Sc
curely anchored. 1t required full
days work to relieve the situation and
that was finally done by Mr.. Simmons
cutting through the wall with an axe
from the lower side.
When the water had flowed out, Mr..
Simmons found out the cause of the
stoppdge. The beaver had constructed
dam behind the gates, and, as the
water rose, they added to it until the

Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1907-08-03

J. T. Bell of Roosevelt. who is visit
ing in. Elk City, believes there are
many good reasons why the travel to
and from. the Thunder Mountain district
should be through, Sites, Elk City and
Dixie, and he says his opinions on the
matter are the same as those of nearly
every man in the district who has beeh
over both routes. The only reason that
this route isn't travelled by practically
every person going to the mining dis
tricts below the Salmon river, accord
ing to Mr.. Bell, is that there is only a
trail, and 4 poor one at that, after leav-
ing Dixie. Between Dixie and the
river the trail is fairly good, but beyond
the river it is bad, there having been
no work done on it since the great rush
to Thunder mountain district number
of years ago.
The complaint made by Mr.. Bell is
the same as so often heard. This paper
is often urged, by parties interested di-
rectly in the central districts, to stir up
sentiment for building roads and i'm
proving the connection Between those
districts and northern Idaho. Mr.. Bell
is thoroughly familiar with the topog-
raphy of the country over the two
routes and the climatic conditions OF
the different seasons, and no person has
given more clearly arguments for an
outlet to the north. Mr.. Bells argu-
ments are these:
1t is shorter distance from Sites to
the heart of the districts than. from
Boise to the same place.
1t is better grade to travel from
Sites than it is from Boise.
On account of the depth of snow ir
winter and the fall and spring rains, the
freignting season from Boise lasts only
two months, while freight could be
hauled from Sites every month in the
year.

To Our Subscribers.

1t requires the use of money to
ruth a newspaper. Ordinarily
the money should come from
those who support the paper and
are benefited by it, but in this
case the Mining News has been
paying the bills every thirty days
without making complaint.
Now we complain; the burden
has become too great for a small
institution to carry. There is too
much credit on our books, and
this is a call for those who have
'stood by Mining News for
SO many years, without contribut-
ing, to pay up.
We intend opening a new sub
scription book soon, and before
we do it we want all accounts on
subscription settled. These ac-
counts are small to the debtors,
but collectively they'll pay lot

BUSTER WILL
START A BOOM
Opinion By R. W. Hawley OF
Buffalo Hump.

R. w. Hawley, of Buffalo Hump, sec
retary of the Cracker Jack Mining COM
pany, was in Elk City, Wednesday;
looking for an amafgamator and two
timbermen! The mine is employing Is
men at present, but more are wanted.
Mr. Hawley, who is mining man of
much experience and has been employed
in graet many mining camps in the
west, gives it as his opinion that the
Elk district will experience a mining
boom soon. Mr.. Hawley spent the
winter in California, and in going to
the Hump passed through Elk before
the Bradley company had bought the
Buster mine. He was greatly, en-
couraged over the changes that indicate
better times. He stated that while it
is always slow for mining camp to
get it's second boom, the second boom
is always sure where there is any pros
pect at all, and he doesn't know eff a
district that has a better prospect for
developing into big producing district
than Elk district has,.
Mr.. Hawley spoke in highest terms Of
the new Buster company, and he be-
lieves their buying the Buster mine will
in the near future influence capital tc
seek more investment in the mines in
this district.

MINING MAN
IN SHIP. WRECK
Goes Down in Vortex, Rises
and Is Rescued.

c.. B. Austin,' an employe of the
Buster Mining company of Elk City was
on board the passenger boat Columbia
when it sank off the coast of California
and carried 70 people to watery graves.
Mr.. Austin was one of the passengers
aboard the boat when it was engulfed
by the waves. He was caught in the
vortex and drawn far below the, surface,
but arose again when the explosion of
the ships boilers broke the vacuum in
the water. Mr.. Austin caught hold of
some of the wreckage when he reached
the surface and clung to it until he was
picked up by rescuers. He is now in a
hospital in Portland.
Mr.. Austin was on his way from San
Francisco to Portland, then to Elk City
to take a position as bookkeeperfor the
Buster company. 1t was known here
that he was to take passage on the
Columbia, and it was understood that
Mrs. Austin was to accompany him.
When the news OF the disaster was
brought here by the daily press; friends
anxiously scanned the columns to learn
of Mr.. and Mrs. Austin fate, apd theil
joy was unspeakable when they found
