The worst snow storm for several
years struck Morristown on Monday
afternoon and continued through
Tuesday. By Tuesday morning there
was about fourteen inches of snow on

made their way as best they could.
The railroads were badly blocked.
The first train on the Lackawanna
for New York. left here at sever-forby
on the arrival of the paper train 60
ing west. Others were sent out in
quick succession after the first double
headed train had left. Trains from
the west began to come through soon
after, including three Buffalo trains
sent this way on account OF condi-
tionS on the Boonton Branch. In a
short time the schedule was in jun
bic. The trains managed TO get near
ly to Summit, where they became
lodged in the snow. With clearing
weather the schedule was resumed in
the afternoon.

Decided to Build Now school.

At a public meeting held last satm-
day, the people Of Passaic township
decided to build school house on the
Mountain Road, between Glen Alpin
and the Stone Mill, instead of carry
ing the children in chat vicinity to
BernardSville. The decision, no doubt,
is wise Que, 1t does not seem adyis-
able to require children to wait at
street corners in the storm and cold
for a stage to take them two or three
miles to school, when better results
can be obtained, with good teacher
in small school nearer home.

The only thing required to commence
taking out money is to build mill.
There is sufficient ore in sight, not in
Guiding the big vein, to run stamps con-
tinuously without doing any dead work
To illustrate this proposition, one of the
claims, known as the Uncle Sam. has a
shaft us feet. This vein carries some
lead. The ore from this shaft was
milled, lead and everything and yielded
on the plates $40 per ton. The vein is
about 70 inches wide A short drift is
run each way from the bottom. and in
these drifts it is no hard matter to select
free gold specimens All this ore is in
tact and ready to be taken down for the
mill. This is only one of dozen where
the ore is exposed from II inches to 4
feet ready to be taken out. All the indi-
cations are that the big vein alone will
yield enough ore in developing to run
40 stamps.

camp of Copperfield. They were among
the first to locate in the new district and
secured some of the best prospects there
and are exhibiting some wonderfully
high grade copper ore taken from the
claims. They also report much activity
in the new district. They have six men
working on their Big Mitt property and
are getting very encouraging results.
Four men are also employed on their

the district. Senator Oddie has sixteen
men working on his Claims. Major Stan

property, and Nixon and Wingheld,
who bought the Copper Hills property
recently, are establishing camp and
getting ready for development work.
Col. Posey also has men at work on some
prospects recently discovered about eight
miles south of Copper6eld. The town OF

old DISTRICT BEING REVIVED
Something About an Old District South of Yerineton Which
is Being Revived by New Company.

One of the latest interpretations and
one destined to become prominent and
add its hundreds of thousands of dollars
TO the output of Esmeralda and Lyon
counties, is the Nevada Mammoth Gold
Mining Company. Its property consists
of 2o full mining claims, each and every
one of which is practically free milling.
One claim was worked back in the SOS.
and has record of over 81 900, 600, ex-
tracted by the crude methods then in
vogue, and yet the main shaft on the
claim is less than $50 feet deep. No
water was reached at that depth. The
old track and car, as well as the cable
and old horse within are still there in
tact, while the old ten-stamp mill down
on the Walker River, two miles from
the mine, where the ore was treated is
still standing there. but in dilapidated
condition, with the two old fashioned
mortars bursted, which was the principal
cause of operations ceasing
A large portion of the work was done
by leasing, and there are many old holes
along this claim from which ore was
taken to depth of 20 to 80 feet and
milled. The openings still show the
vein intact with good milling ore in
sight. 1t is astonishing that this prop
erty should have lain idle for 40 wears.
Three or four years ago the Davis broth
ers bought this claim, and from time to
time have found and located others. un-
til now there are 26 in the group. and
not one of them but what has pay ore in
sight. All have openings OH them from
10 feet to us feet Some of the veins
range from IL inches to feet and sew
eral of them from to Is feet in width.
One of the newly located veins is known
as the Pioneer The width of this vein
is not, as yet known. An open cut has
been run across it for "a feet, but the
hanging wall is not yet in sight. The
face of the cut is 5 feet This, among
other veins, was recently examined and
sampled by Owen Roberts, a Cripple
Creek mining man of experience. He
took general sample along the entire
cut of about so samples This was all
mortared up after he returned to Yering-
ton, quartered, mixed and requarted
until the necessary sample was obtained,
and by him sent together with other

PHELPS STATES HIS POSITION
He Will File Prosecutions Against
PendletOn Salo0nmen.

When the holidays are declared off /,
which is said will occur Monday, one,
if not more of the Pendleton saloonmen
will face a charge of violating the
Sunday closing law, unless all signs
fail, says the East Oregonian. It is
now known that charges against at
least one saloon have been made before
the district attorney and it is expected
that an information will be filed by
Mr.. Phelps as soon as the holidays are
over with.
When questioned upon the subject
this afternoon Mr.. Phelps admitted
that some information concerning a
Sunday violation had been furnished
him. He then declared that il suffi-
cient evidence should be forthcoming,
which he understood would be
charge would be made.
He does not wish to file charge
now because it would be impossible to
try the case during the holiday period
and as the accused is permanent res
ident the case can easily be resumed.
In the event of change in the
city administration of Pendleton will
your course regarding gambling and
saloon closing be the same as it has
been during the past administration"
Mr.. Phelps was asked.
''It certainly will" replied that Of
fetal. "The city administration has
absolutely nothing to do with this
Office, excepting that it is the duty of
the police to report violations of state
laws to me. In the past have noti-
fed the Pendleton police to this effect
aud also the peace officers in all the
other towns of the county. have in
formed them that should they fail to
report violations of state laws to me |
will prosecute them for malfeasance in
office.
"Pendleton is in just the the same
class as far as am concerned as all
the other towns. Local officers must
report state law violations. which
means violations of the gambling law
and Sunday closing law as we'll as
others. Gambling in this county is
closed for good.

A DRAIN
0. r. & N. Force Engaged In Cut
ting Channel Across the Low
er End of Main Street.

That the o. R. & N. company re-
alizes the perilous situation in which
its Athena yards and depot grounds is
oonfron ted in periods of freshets and
high water is evidenced by the extern
sive preparations now being made to
counteract any possible damage from
future floods.
A force of men has been at work
this week digging channel ACROSS the
lower end of Main street, just east of
the depot. The channel is 5 feet wide
and six feet deep. 1t was lined with
heavy timbers on top, sides and bottom
the top being covered to conform with
the regulation street grade as to con-
tour, material. etc.
This channel is supposed to take care
of water coming down the fiat on the
east side of the tracks and depot build
ing.
Last winter and during the early
spring when high water put the Pen
dleton- Spokane line out of commission,
the yards and depot platform were un.
der water and considerable damage re-
suited to the track. One morning,
passenger train No. arrived in
Athena and proceeded beyond Weston
and was forced to return, owing to
track being washed out beyond. The
train reached here and was tied up for
several days but finally got back to
Pendleton and it was just 80 days be-
fore the company could repair the
branch line and No s. again whistled
for Athena.
Mail and passengers were transport
ed overland between Athena and PEN
dleton and from Athena to Walla
Walla during that period. At one
time 35 sacks of mail was received at
the Athena post Office for distribution.
