Ninins Notes.

The Mammoth Morning Cuncentratnr
Co. has ordered machinery and n,ate'l,i
for their concentrator to be cree ed 1t
Metaline this year and the machinery
will arrive in Newport soon.
The new concentrator Will have cap
acity for treating 200 tons of ore day
and will be much larger than the one
recently built by the Spokane Lead
Mines Co. in the same locality. The
new mill will h andle outside work as
we'll as concentrating the ores from the
Mammoth, Morning and Orioe proper
ties. Most of the concentrates will be
treated at the Standpoint smelter, should
that institution blow in soon. If not
they will be shipped to other smeters.
1t is understood that the Great North
ern will erect hoist in the east end of
the city to facilitate the handling of the
concentrates of the Metaline camp. 1t
will probably be located near the Stew
ems docks.
w. H. Mead of the concentrator COM
pany was in Newport over Sunday and
left on the Newport for Metalne Mon
day. He stated that the work on the
plant would be rushed rapidly as possi-
BILE.
With two concentrators at work in
Metaline it is probable that at least four
mines in that district would be added
to the list of shipping mines in Stevens
county Both the Mammoth and the
Morning mines have large quantities of
ore on their dumps awaiting treatmeant.
Quite number of prospectors have
gone down the river lately to prospect
in the vicinity of Metaline. There will
be more activity in this camp this year
than every before. The Newport district
will also receive more attention than
formerly on account of the good strikes
recently made within a few miles of this
city. Evidences of mineral have been
found in the cut made by the Great
Northern in the bluff right in the city.
The Morning Mammoth Concentrat-
ing Co. has filed water right for so
cubic feet of water on Sulliyan creek.
Over 100 feet of tunnel was completed
by four men at the Parker Mountain
mine during the month of March. The
owners of this property were consider
ing the advisabillty of decreasing the
IL G.,
velopment work might be lowered to a
certain figure, but the prospects are so
good that the present force will be main
tanned. The stringers which the miners
are following up show an increased per
centage in galena.

would be received at Newport next
week Part of the machinery has been
completed by the eastern manufacturers
and has been shipped. He was sanguine
that the boat will be completed by June l.
The launch Nancy has demonstrated
her ability to successfully run Box Can
yon, and made the trip from Newport to
Metaline in less than four hours. She
made the up-trip through the canyon
last Saturday in six minutes. The new
schedule of the boat took effect on March
80. She will leave Metaline on Tues
days, Thursdays and Saturdays at $50
a. M, and arrive in Newport before 2
p. m. of the same day. Returning she
will leave Newport at 2:1O D. m. On
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays she
will leave Metaline at 3 p. m. to connect
with the steamer Newport at lone and
will return, after the arrival of that boat.
to Metaline. The Nancy will arrive and
depart from the docks of the Pend d.
Oreille Navigation Co., in old town.

II. M. LUND WILL BUILD
Fine Concrete Store BUILDING tc
be Erected
10 be Used by Lund Hardware Co

II. NJ. Lund, of the Lund Hardware
Co., announced on Wednesday that his
company would erect a fine two-story
business block on Washington avenue
this season. The building will be located
on the present site of the Opera House.
1t Will be two-story structure of rein
forced concrete construction and prac-
tically fireproof.
The building will be modern in every
respect and be used by the Lund Hard
ware Co. The building will cover a
ground area of 3Oxl36 feet, the full size
OF the lot, and will be an ornament to
the street.
The Opera House will be removed to
another site. but the exact location has
not been decided as yet, but will be in
few days, 1t is understood that the
old building has been purchased by one
of the secret societies, and will be re-
moved to lot north OF it's present loca.
ton on Washington avenue.
There are also several other deals on
tap that have a close relation to the
Opera House, and it is possible that an
other cement business building will also
be erected as the result of the I.und
companv's decision to build.

The Burlington Extension

The Wenatchee correspondent of the
Spokesman Review says that the Hill
interests are at work grading for a rail-
road near the Canadian line, on the west
side Of the Cascades, near Cloverdale.
The road has been graded for distance
OF 80 miles from Cloverdale, and the
grading and bridging crews are now
working west from Sumas up the Nook
sack river. The intention appears to be
to pass through the Cascades at Slate
creek pass.
This information tends to confirm the
report printed in THE MINER last week
that the Burlington would build into
Newport, and then west to Chewelah
and Conconully and through Slate Pass
into Rockport, where a connection for
Puget Sound points would be made with
another Hill line.
The new road is headed toward New
port from the west all right, and The
MINER believes that it will be built. If
the Hill interests do not build it for the
Burlington extension, they will prob
ably do so to keep the Canadian Pacific
from encroaching any more upon Hill
territory in the United States. In addi-
ton the country through which the new
line will run is one of the richest Sec
tions in Northern Washington and is
being settled very rapidly, and the road
would receive-a great tonnage. With a
road through that section Okanogan and
Ferry counties would soon develop into
very populous and wealthy agricultural ,
mineral and manufacturing counties.

News FROM THE RIVER
Considerable Activity Along the
Water Front
Business Prospects are Good

The Nancy again broke her record for
a run through Box Canyon on Wednes-
day. The trip consumed only five min
utes. The boat also made fast trip up
stream. She left Metaline at 5:35 a. m.
and arrived at her docks in Newport at
1:1O p. m, making fourteen landings on
the trip.
The Metaline made her maiden trip
OF the year on Wednesday, when she
went to the LIE Clerc landing after a
barge to be used in CARRYING coal to the
lower river.
The steamer has been repainted and
given q general overhauling. A new
boiler, with an increased steam capacity
and condenser, have been added. As
soon as the new machinery has been
thoroughly tested Capt I.eClerc will
place the boat on her regular schedule
At the present time it is the plan to
leave Bettencourt's landing. about two
and one-half miles below lone, in the
morning and arrive here in time to meet
Great Northern train No. from Spo-
kane, and leave for the lower river soon
after the arrival of that train.
Capt. LeClerc has not decided what
will be done with the launch Franz as
yet, but it is probable that she will be
used on the Box Canyon run, and will
connect with the Metaline at Betten-
courts.
The crew of the Metaline will consist
of Capt. LeClerc. Engineer Wm. Ross
and Purser Charles Trussell.
The Rockwell motor boat, recently
completed by the Newport Boat Works,
was given trial on Monday. The new
boat is very fast and her owner thinks
he has the fastest craft on the river.
The New Detroit will be ready for
business about May Is. Mr.. Buttons
now owns the entire boat and is having
a new hull constructed at the Lenora
yalds. The hull is now ready for the
planking and she will be in the water
inside of two weeks.
Capt. Lanneau, of the Metaline Navi-
CATION Co. was in the city on Wednes.
day. He stated that the frame work for
the new boat, to be placed on the river
by his company, had been sawed at
Portland. and that the first shipments

The old depot will probably be used for

When the work OF cutting down the
bluff is finished it is said that the main
tracks OF the Great Northern will be
shifted somewhat south of their
present location, the tracks lover
ed over a foot and the curve at the east
end Of the yards eliminated. This will
Eecessitate the removal of the present
depot and water tank to new location.
1t is probable that great deal of work
will be done on the local yards in the
way of constructing additional sidings
to accommodate the growing business Of
the patrons of the road. The switch,
leading to the Fidelity planning mill, will
be extended 50 as to give better accom-
modations to the Northern Mercantile
company's pole yards and also make it
handy for Jurgens Bros. sawmill to ship

If the work planned by the company
is completed at least $75, 900 will be ex-
pended at this point for local improve
ments.

the work OF parking.
The structure will be similar in style
to the station erected at Spirit Lake,
and which is claimed to be one Of the

Work on the freight depot, which is to

First and Second streets, will be started
before the passenger station is completed.
The other work contemplated by the
company, in Newport, will be started as
soon as the work under way at the pres
ent time at Spirit Lake has been finish
ed. The company will expend a great
deal OF money in Newport and vicin-
itv during the coming year.

added by the Great Northern in order
to expedite the work of cutting down
the bluff east OF town for the purpose of
securing material for making the fill at

pot appear to be excellent at this time

The fishing season in the state of
Washington opened on Wednesday. Re-
ports from some of the creeks down the
river are that brook trout are jumping
and will probably take fly at the pres
ent time, although it is rather early in
the season for that style of fishing.
Several catches have been made out OF
season, but the fish are very wary and
it must be Il choice morsel that will
tempt them to strike.

ANNUAL MEETING OF
 ARIZONA FIRFMtN'S
It Will Be Held in Tucson On Satur- day-A Proposed Change Of Date For the Gathering.

The annual meeting of the Arizona Territorial Firemen's Association, will be held in Tucson on the 4th of July and James M. Shott the secretary will leave tonight to attend it. Last night the Pioneer Hook and Ladder com pany held a meeting and reported to MT. ShOtt the credentials of C. F. Mil Ter and L. J. Charles as delegates from that company. There are four other companies in the Phoenix department but thus far the names of their del egates have not been secured.
 The association was organized two or three years ago quite enthusias- tically and its prosperity is a matter of interest not merely to the firemen but to the people of the territory, for if Arizona has any institution of prac- tical value to the public at large. of which she may well feel proud. it is her volunteer fire departments. There is not a paid department in the terri tory, except for a few officers and drivers, yet hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property is saved from destruction annually and almost every town of any material size has an organization of which it is proud
 Last year the annual meeting was held in Prescott and was largely at tended the event being one of the big features of the holiday festivities and the 4th of July celebrations in Phoenix and Tucson being small affairs. It is doubtful though if Prescott will be very strongly represented in Tucson this year. though Tucson made a good showing in Prescott It is due entirely to the dates, it having been demon- strated that the 4th of July Is not a good date for the annual meeting This year Prescott has a big celebration on as has Phoenix and almost all other territorial towns, and regardless of the importance of the firemen's meeting the national anniversary seems to sp- peal more strongly to all. Tempe will be represented at Tucson as well as Phoenix and probably other towns also but the entire Gila valley expects to celebrate in Globe and most likely the major part of the firemen will be there.
 Morally there is nothing in conflict between the fourth of July and the firemen but circumstantially there is At that season nearly all the larger towns have celebrations and there are

excursion rates going into them and none going out, to say nothing of the fact that the public spirited men who form the fire departments are gener- ally hard workers in the celebrations of the fourth in their own towns, and can hardly get away.
 Having these things in mind. and for that reason only. the Phoenix de- partment has instructed its represent atives to try if possible to change the date of the annual meeting to the an nual fair time and have the meetings held in Phoenix each year during fair week. There are three very material reasons for this. One is that there is always a cheap excursion rate to Phoenix then. Another Is that it avoids the fourth of July season when everybody is busy at home, and the third is that it Is cooler and at a time of the year when horse races and oth- CT exhibitions can be more successfully and comfortably held. This will prob ably bring out the old cry that Phoe- nix wants to hog" everything. but that is denied in advance. Phoenix is always glad to welcome the firemen, or anybody else who are good people, but this movement is solely in the in- terest of the firemen's association for the reasons named, and which seem to speak for themselves. Phoenix has enough to attend to with the fair but if the departments want to come here she will be glad to take care of them

A NEW LOW RECORD

The Operations So Dull As to Hardly Merit Notice.

New York, July 2.-Dealings in stocks made a new low record for the year, aggregate sales dropping to lO9.900 shares. Although the stock exchange will be left open for busi- ness tomorrow, many members have already left the city and will pro long the holiday over the end of the week. There was more show of life in bonds than in stocks. Consider able variety developed in that de- pertinent. The stock market itself does not call for notice. Reports of railroad net earnings for May show struggle to meet the losses of traffic by a reduction of the oper- ating cost. Union Pacific showed the best success, the company reporting S1,14S,74S shrinkage in the gross, be- ing all but made up by economies for the month. Bonds were irregular

The Honorable Champ Clark
gives an amusing instance of the
manner in which anewly appointed
magistrate in a Nevada town once
enforced the rules Of his court.
A witness, who had been severely
damaged in a street row, was put
upon the stand.
"Hold up your right hand!"
commanded his honor.
81 can't do it," calmly replied
the witness.
"What do you mean by saying
that you can't hold up your right
hand" roared the judge.
II was shot in that hand,' ex-
claimed the witness in a more re-
spectful tone.
''Then hold up your left handr'
called out the judge.
Il was shot in that hand, toe"
meekly responded the witness.
His honor glared at the witness
in silent rage for a moment. Then
he yelled:
"Hold up leg and let it go at
that! No man can be sworn IN
this court unless he holds up some-
thing. Exchange.
