THE HYATT-FOWELLS SCHOOL

In one week last month the Hyatt
Fowells school of Seattle received and
filed calls for bookkeepers and snetog-
raphers from the Bemis Bros. Bag Co.,
the Winton Automobile Co., the Cres-
cent Manufacturing Co., the H. E. Orr
Co., the Standard Oil Co., Seattle Steel
& Iron Co., and private secretaryship
to Washington, D. c., official who
ranks we'll up in the Legislative depart
ment.
That the Hyatt Fowells School re-
ceived such calls as above is certainly
an important endorsement. That the
school filled the positions is evidence
of the prestige which has come to this
institution.
A copy Of the Hyatt-Fowells School
year book will be sent to every ambi-
tious young NINA or young woman who
writes for one.

Three Plants Probably Be Built
During the Present Summer.
DIXIE ROYAL NEW MILL
Construction Work on Build
ings is Begun.

Charley Rivenberg, George Jones and
F. A. Herrera, of New York, directors
in the Dixie Royal Mining company,
stopped over night in Elk City last Sat
urday while returning from visit to
the property. Mr.. Rivenberg said:
1--WE are pleased with the showing in
the mine, for all indications are that
the Dixie Royal is a big mine. Super
intendent j. S. Danforth is rushing
the work in preparation for our new
10-stamp MILL The saw was started
about ten days ago, and by this time
the fame construction IS well under
way. We do not know yet what treat
ment will be given the ore as it comes
from the stamps, as the chemists in
Denver to whom ore was sent have not
reported results. All the old-timers in
Dixie district are greatly encouraged
over the present outlook for the country
and work is going on in all the leading
prospects and mines. l think there
are two other companies in the district
that will put on mills this summer
"our president, Mr.. A. D. Leonard,
of New York, is still in Denver, and
probably will, not get back to the mine
before the middle of May, as he will
await the result of the chemical analysis
of the ore and place the order for the
reduction plant before he returns"

THE NEW STRIKE
ON FOUR MILE

John A. Howard, owner OF the new
rich mining claim on Four Mile, says
this for the property:
II haye prospected in a good many
states and l have no doubt that the
showing we have uncovered on the
Silver Crown will compare favorably
with the best prospects the northwest
has ever shown, if not better. The
ledge is running in a northeasterly and
southwesterly direction as near as we
can determine at this time and is seven
teen feet wide-that is, it is seventeen
feet that we have uncovered and have
not reached the wall on the west side.
The best you can say of it will not any
more than do it justice. The size of
the ledge is only excelled by the rich
ness of the ore and it all appears to be
of the same character.

Gold Bricks are Going to Bank IN
Lewiston Every Few Days.
SAYS A SPOKANE PAPER
Camp Has Now Established
Enviable Reputation.

Northwest Mining News: Gold bull
ion to the amount of from $4,000 to $4,000
a week is being received by the First
National bank of Lewiston for trans
mission to the assay Office and mint.
This development tells the story of the
successful operation of the mines in the
Elk City district and foretells the big
output that VIII follow the development
of well-known properties of that dis
trict.
The Elk district is one of the oldest
mining sections of Idaho, and during
the pioneer days the placer fields were
rich in gold, and large shipments of the
precious metal were made by each pack
train. During the more recent years
the attention of mine operators has
been turned to the quartz deposits, as
the placer fields were practically worked
out. A number of small stamp mills
have been installed, and during the past
year the Buster mine has passed into
the hands of Fred Bradley and associ-
ates, and stampmill of large capacity
has been shipped in. Other companies
will install good mills during the coming
season, and the following winter will
witness a number of the plants in ope-
ration.
The fact that the camp is now reg
ular producer is of the most encourag-
ing character, and with all conditions
assuring a material increase in the
weekly shipment as the capacity is en-
larged, rising sun is promised for all
rneritorious properties in that district

Double Shifts in Mill and
the Cyanide Plant.
WILL Be NO STOPPING DONE
Mill Will Keep Busy on Ore
From. Development.

The new 60 horse power boiler at
the Thunder Mountain mine was put in
use the first of the week and Tuesday
morning the 10-stamp mill and cyanide
plant were started working double
shift. The hoist is in place and the
work on the shaft that is to be sunk
from the 30O-foot level is well under
way.
"We have, approximately, 5000 tons
of ore ready for the mill at this time,
Mr.. Boyer said Tuesday, land the mine
is showing up in good shape in every
part where development work has been
done under the new management within
the past year. We will do no stoping,
but will aim to keep the plant busy on
ore taken out in developing the mine. I"
Orogrande, April 2S-Orogrande dis
trict at this time gives greater promise
for advancement than at any time in
+ its history. Practically every one of
the property owners are at work on
their claims, and in another week or
ten days the Butte -Orogrande Crooked
River and the Twin Butte mills will be
running. Such properties as Umatilla,
Butterfly, Oregon and the Winner are
working full crews on development
work. Telluride ore has been found on
Knob hill.
Just at this time there is a scarcity
of miners and laborers, due greatly to
the rush to the -Four Mile country. It
is thought, however, that the present
situation can be relieved by drawing on
the idle men that are now focking to
Elk City from the outside.

IMPORTANCE
OF THE MINES
The Industry Gives Good Time to
All Lines of Commerce.
LEWISTON INTERESTED
The Tribune Thinks Outlook
Is Very Bright.

The Lewiston Tribune in an. editorial
on the mining industry in central Idaho
says:
For some inexplicable reason the min
ing industry of central Idaho is not
occupying the important place in the
newspapers and in publicity and promo
ton movements that is warranted by
the conditions at the present time. Not
so long ago mining was everything in
this section. The mineral, deposits of
this country were the earliest sources
of its wealth and fame. Latterly, it
has been proven that it's soil and climate
were also gold mines, and these have
served to enlist greater number of
activities than the production of the
metals. 1t is a serious mistake, how
ever, to assume that mining has been
subordinated or can be successfully neg
lected in our commercial scheme. From
all the Tribune is able to learn, there is
more and better mining now in progress
in the outlying camps than at any period
since the early bonanza days. It is an
incontrovertable fact that there are
more mills now in successful operation
than there were as a result of either
the Buffalo Hump or Thunder Mountain
stampedes. Reports to the Tribune
from all sections of the mineral zone
are full of optimism and happy anticipa-
tion of substantial results on the bal
ancing of the books. Operators who
have gone into the earth have been well
repaid and are earning handsome re-
turns.
1t appears also that prospecting is
hnabated and that the inducements are
found to be large. There will probably
also be more of this cone this year than
for many years past and many are wait
ing, sometimes impatiently, for the
weather to settle in order to get into
the mountains. The industrial depres-
sion doubtless has much to do with it,
but the successful results achieved in
the established gold camps and the
businesslike, unboomed and thorough
methods now in vogue also have some
thing to do with interesting men in that
attractive field of human endeavor.
Seeing that the mining industry is
one that is going to grow, and espec-
tally at the time when there is not much
doing in other lines, it would seem tC
be in order for Lewiston to take al
interest in the people and the things
that enter into the business. Some few
years back when Lewiston was looking
after the mining people and the mining
trade, the town stood better and wal
more prosperous proportionally, per
haps, than in any other time. Mining
and mining men notoriously make bette
time than any other known line. Th'
town that is the home of the mining
men is always a good town and no bet
ter stroke Of business can be done thai
to make mining men feel at home il
Lewiston and be prepared to look afte
their necessities and interests.

Prospectors Still Rush
to the New Strike.
THE COUNTRY IS EXCITED
Grand Rush Expected When
Snow is Off.

Advice by mail from Orogrande to
Mining News Tuesday gave out that
the excitement over the new rich strike
in the Four Mile country still holds the
boards over all lines of business. and
at present there is not an idle man in
camp, although the starting of the big
Crooked River plant, in about week,
probably will give employment to sew
eral more men. A prospector says;
''Times are looking good in and around
Orogrande. Nearly all the men have
left for the Four Mile excitement.
There is no doubt but the strike is what
it is represented to be, as a good sign
is the parties are preparing to stay
over. Jack O'Leary and Wisdom have
the fever, also John Grinde and Joe
Sugars are. getting ready to go over
and make permanent camp
Engineer Leach in Camp.
Engineer P. H. Leach, one of the
first locators in the Four Mile country.
and who was there at the time the
ard-Lackey strike was made, was
in Elk City Tuesday night and Wednes-
day. Mr.. Leach was angry over the
fact, that the news of the strike was
given out by this paper sooner than he
and his associates had planned, ground
being snapped up by those rushing in
which Leach and his friends intended
locating. The letter from Leach was
mailed with the intention of its arriving
at its destination too late for the news
of the big strike to get in the paper
that week, and Leach and his friends
figured that by taking few more days
they could locate for themselves all
the ground they wanted. Mr.. Leach
has received letters from a number of
mining men in different parts of the
United States and Canada, making in
quiries about the strike and the section
of country in which it is located.
When Mining Men Learn.
Mr.. Leach said: ''When mining men
learn about that Four Mile country
what we prospectors already know Of
it, there viii be more attention given it
than has ever been given by mining men
to any other section in Idaho county.
Why, when / saw that ledge both my
hands went right UP into the air. AS
yet the number OF. 'prospectors is not
large; the snow is deep, the trail COW
cred over most of the time with fresh
SHOWS, and packing grub and supplies

by the melting snow in Buffalo Hump
Timber, however, is not very plentiful

Dispatches from Vienna state that Turkey
has notified Austria she will not negotiate
further, but Will leave the statement to q con-
ference. An official of the Foreign Office
attributes this to British influence, neverthe-
less the Government retains hope of an

The Austrian newspapers charge. England's

many supports Austria in not attending q
conference except upon the basis of previous
recognition of accomplished facts.
A Berlin telegram says England's obstruc-
ton of the Turco-Austrian negotiations
causes i'll feeling.
St. Petersburg advices say that the fate
of the prop sal for a conference rests upon
M. Iswolsky's negotiations in Berlin, but
Russi does not share the apprehension of
tkeir impracticability; separate preliminary
agreements, for example, between Bulgaria
and Turkey and Austria aud Turkey are
desirable, though not essential. The report
that Nj, Iswolsky will retire in consequence
of the interruption of his plans, aud also
that the Russian Ambassador at Vienna will
retire in consequence of his failure t. inform
his Government regarding Austria's iuten-
tons is denied.

pay Turkey about two millions four hundred
thousand pounds in lieu of tribute.
Constantinople advices state that. DESPITE
some divergence in the preliminary pourpar-
lers, it is assumed that official ne gotiations
with Bulgaria will soon be opened, and it is
already settled in principle that a mixed
Turco- Bulgarian commission will adjust
the Roumelian railway question. Turkey
continues to maintain that the annexation Of
Bosnia and Herzegovina concerns Europe
