OROVILLE COMPANY
BUYS PLACER. GROUND

The Golden Seal placer ground, at the
confluence of American river and Elk
creek, owned by ]. B. Henniger, was
taken under bond the first of this week
by the Oroville Dredging Co., (Oro-
vile, California; and Mining News is
informed by one of the parties inter
ested that dredge will be put to work
on the ground this fall The tract com
prises 100 acres.
The interest the Oroville company
has taken in the district proves again
the fame of the Elk mines and that the
very best and most substantial mining
men and companies in the country are
being attracted by them P. ]. Jen-
nings is the leader in gold dredging just
as Bradley and Mackenzie are the lead
ers in quartz mining. Mr. Jennings
consummated the deal through w. c.

From Dixie.

To the Editor Being a reader of your
valuable paper, and feeling an interest
in the welfare of your undertaking in
this, one Of the best mining countries
in the northwest, | feel it the duty of
everyone to contribute to you all of the
events in any section around you. |
will at this late date try in my feeble
way to descriDe,to you one of the most
thrilling events which happened in Dixie
on the glorious fourth of July, and, for
some unknown cause, has never been
mentioned, so the outside world might
know the characters who inhabit this
part of Idaho.
We have two of the most wonderful
characters in here that can be found on
the earth. One of them is known all
through the northwest as "Sawtooth'
Sam of Dixie. The other is ''Sam the
Terror of Salmon river. ''Sawtooth'
Sam is of giant form and enormous
strength, but those who know him seem
to think he will harm no one if he is not
bothered. ''Sam the Terror is of
small form, but makes up by being one
of the most active men in the world.
These two men have known and met
for years, never having had difficulty,
always met friendly They both hap
penedt to be in Dixie ON the fourth, and
being each satisfied that he was the
bettek man, agreed to try titles for the
belt, in the best two out of three fails

ORE EXHIBIT
AT THE FAIR

Grangeville wants all the mining dis
tricts in the county to send samples of
ore to that place, to be placed on exhibit
tion during the coming county fair, and
later be made permanent exhibit to
be kept at the county seat. This paper
thinks the plan is a good one. The fol-
lowing letter to this office, from the
directors of the fair association explains
the matter:
''The committee in charge of our
county fair propose 10 make one of the
best mineral displays chat this county
has ever had, thus advertising the great
mineral resources of the county, and
for this reason l am directed to write
you at this time.
''It would be impossible for us to
visit the various mining camps and pro-
cure suitable samples within the limited
time at our command, therefore we are
compelled to call upon those who are
interested to aid US in this enterprise.
eve want samples of ore from the
various claims in your district, and trust
that you can get some good ore. Mark
| it, showing from what mine it was
taken, also give the assay if at your
command, send it out to us and we will
do the rest.
"You can send out by freighters who
are teaming from Sites, or here. We
will keep the ore intact and after the
flair we will keep it on exhibition in
some suitable place, thus serving as
great advertising medium for your por
tion Of the county"

To Our Subscribers.

1t requires the use of money to
run 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 small
institution to carry. There is too
much credit on our books, and
this is 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 a lot
of freight" for the publisher.
We are speaking directly to
you Mr.. Subscriber-no matter
where your place of residence.
Subscribers at a distance should
address their letters to George E.
Hamilton, Editor and Publisher.
All subscribers whose accounts
are for six months or longer will
have to pay a collector after a
reasonable time has been given.

OPINION
OF THE DISTRICT

Donald Ferguson, of Goldfield,- Ne
vada, thinks the Elk district is wond-
erful district, has as rich deposits of
mineral as any district he has ever seen
and on account of it's boundless supply
of timber, hever-failing and numerous
streams and equable climate it is an
ideal country to operate in. Mr.. Fergu-
son was prospector in this district 16
years ago. Goldfeld is now his home,
and he is manager for Pittsburg- Ne
vada Mining Co., and consulting engi-
neer for five other corporations.
A comparasion of the mode of travel
here to that in Nevada proves, to Mr..
Ferguson, why the Elk district is not
as good, or better, than some of the
districts in Nevada. Nevada is better
supplied with railroads, and, there be-
ing no timber, points not touched by
railway are easily reached by automo-
bile. "Why, the trip from Sites to
Elk City takes the best of two days" "
said Mr.. Ferguson, 'sand that is too
much time for busy men to spare from
their business. If this district had a
railway many more of the best engi-
neers and mining men would visit it, and
in consequence more properties would
be operated and more discoveries would
be made. Railway companies cannot
longer ignore this district. under
stand other railway lines aye now build
ing near here. That is a good thing,
for the Northern Pacific will soon see
that delay in extending its Sites line

was decided that judges be chosen, and
the two city marshals, with assistants,
should be on hand if needed to attempt
an arrest if was necessary. The ring

had been assured there was no danger,

wonderful feats of strength and science

of the locks taken by "Sam the Ter
ror." They tossed for choice of hold,
and "Sawtooth" Sam won. He being
the bully of Idaho for years and of such
immense size and strength, everyone
stood spell bound for fear he would
crush the life out of his little opponent
at the first grip, but the little Terror
laughed, and they started and the ring
grew larger until they had the whole
street. Every hook known and all the
locks ever used came in play from the
old fashioned grape vine. All front and
back locks, all the right and left plays
until the crowd stood with mouths agap
watching the desperate strength until
by one fearful grip and half Nelson
"Sawtooth" Sam brought the little
Terror after something less than fifty
minutes under him to the ground, and
was given decision. 1t then being late
it was decided to adjourn to the next
fourth to finish. We will look for

The two gentlemen arrived Friday even

Wednesday morning They were ac-
companied by E. F. Nassau of Spo-
kane, who is looking for desirable min
ing property for himself and other part
les. He took back samples of ore from
a number of claims.
All of the gentlemen were pleased
with Elk City and its prospects. Mr..
Jones, who, by the way, was formerly
representative in congress, and August
Heinze's legal representative when the
latter won such a great victory over
Standard Oil and the Amalgamated
interests at Butte, was more agreeably
surprised than the rest. 1t was the
first visit by Mr.. Jones to this country,
and he is so enthused that he will be a
booster for Elk City and Elk mine from

BUSTER COMPANY WILL
OPERATE EXTENSIVELY

The construction work on the mill,
cyanide plant, gallows frame and house,
Blacksmith shop, sawnill, etc., at the
Buster mine, the property bought by
the Bradley and Mackenzie company
the first of July, has reached that stage
within the past week that gives one a
ffair idea of how the plant will look
<when it is finished. Construction work
tproper is fairly under way. The mill
fsite's being on the side of the hill re-
Equired a great deal of moving of ground

THE SELWAI ROUTE
FOR UNION PACIFIC

Deputy Game Warden M. S. Mason
has arrived from trip to the Middle
fork of the Clearwater and across the
Selwai and makes the announcement
that while there he met Engineer
Martin and party camped at the mouth
of the Locsa, says Grangeville CORE
spondent to Lewiston Tribune. Mr..
Mason reports that the party is at work
running line up the Selwai.
\ The announcement that the surveyors
have taken the Selwai branch of the
Middle fork is an important and unex-
pected development as the belief had
fbeen general that upon reaching the
forks the surveyors would take the
Locsa and follow it through the Lolo
pass in reaching connection with the
Milwaukee in Montana near Missoula.
This view had been formed upon the re-
port that the Union Pacific had entered
into an agreement with the Milwaukee
for joint cutoff through the Clear
water mountains, which would allow
/, the Milwaukee entrance into Portland
Ndown the Clearwater, Snake and Co.
lumbia rivers and allow the Union Pa
cific to reach into the Montana country
over the Milwaukee lines.
Engineer Martin came from the
'3Union Pacific offices at Portland and
has been for two months engaged in
making permanent survey from
sGo0elda. The survey at Kooskia con-

M. j. Sweeney and Andrew Prader
have finished their tunnel contract for
the Thunder Mountain Gold company,
and Thursday Mr.. Sweeney left for his
home in Spokane. Mr.. Prader, wife
and children will visit for short time
at the home of G. l. Porter and family
on Red river. Before leaving Sweeney
& Prader let contract to S. S. Snider
to run a tunnel on their Campbird prop
erty on Crooked river.

interests. The other roads will compel

Mr.. Ferguson went Thursday morn
ing to Buffalo Hump to have surveying
done on the San Francisco property,
which he bought short time ago.

Other Construction Work.

The other construction work-the
stamp mill and the saw mill-will be
taken up as quickly as the work now in
hand is disposed Of by the small crew
of carpenters that Superintendent
Thorn has been abte:ta SECURE. The
machinery for the mill is now arriving,
SO it is expected that there will be no
delay on that score.
Building for the Future.
1t has been the opinion of many that
the Bradley and Mackenzie company
would not stop at 10-stamp mill, and
now, since the plant has assumed def
mite form, their opinions appear to be
confirmed. The arrangement of the
works is such that the plant can be adj
ded to at any time with little difficulty.
1t is known, too, that the company has
at least tentative agreements for the
purchase of nearby properties, on which
development work is now being done,
and this alone is proof that the com
pany is perfectly satisfied with the dis
trict and that they intend to operate
extensively.

MINING ALONG
RED HORSE

c. W. Andrews, one of the stock
holders in the Elk Gold Mining and
Milling company, operating on their five
claims on Red Horse, was in camp
Thursday and reported their tunnel is
now in a feet of ore, and assay values
are good. Two new claims were added
to the group this week, and a new lead
on the surface has been found.
This property is owned by Wardner
and Seattle parties. John Hammer of
Wardner has been at the camp several
weeks, and DR.. VIM. A. Glasgow of
Seattle arrived Wednesday.

meets with one which was run last
spring by the Union Pacific from
Kooskia to Lewiston, connecting at the
latter point with the road now being
constructed to Riparia.
In view of the impression so generally
formed that Mr.. Martin would proceed
up the Locsa and the fact that he has
now taken the Selwai, the move is a
surprise and opens new field of specu-
lation as to the plans OF the Union Pa
cifc. That road several years ago, DUR
ing the Clearwater railroad construc-
ton war with the Hill lines, ran sur
vey up the Selwai and announcement
was then made it was the plan to tie on
the Burlington at Billings, Mont. A
truce stopped, all the work then in hand.
Comment here relative to the Selwai
move is that the Union Pacific has now
resumed the carrying out of its old
plans and viii build through the Nez
Perce pass, at the head of the Selwai
Branch, and will strike the Milwaukee
at Butte or in the vicinity of that city
The permanent character Of the work
being done surely indicates that the
move, whatever it means. is of sub
stsntial CHARACTER, and further informa-
tion will be largely awaited. A line up
the Middle fork will open up a. large
portion Of the great Elk mining region,
as the river is only p miles distant
from Elk City.
