DISTRICT AS SEEN
BY A STRANGER

1t is sometimes refreshing to know
what others think of Elk City. John
o. Barbour gave the Lewiston Tribune
the following:
John o. Barbour, who arrived yester-
day from the Elk district, reports that
the snow has practically all disappeared
in the mining country and that travel
into the district is now very heavy. On
his trip out to Sites he met twelve
freight wagons on the road all carrying
big loads, while the stage was crowded
with passengers. He also met several
prospecting outfits bound for the mines.
Mr.. Barbour states he is of the opinion
that the travel to the mining country
the present summer and the work there
viii be Of greater magnitude than at
any time since the early days when
placer was the great attraction and
caused a stampede into that region.
Mr.. Barbour has property near Elk
which has been receiving his attention
and he is well pleased with the results
Of such development work as has been
done. He VIII return to the camp in a
short time. He says that as a result Of
the new life that has come to the Elk
camp the hotel facilities are becoming
overtaxed at Elk and one Of the hotels
there is erecting an addition which will
give the structure, when completed, a
capacity Of fifty rooms. He also re-
ports that from many properties re-
ports are coming showing splendid re-
suits with development and that in in
stances these can be classed as import
ant strikes. He states that a propert.
IN which George Young, formerly o.
Lewiston, is interested, has made sucl
a showing that its sale at a fine fgur
seems assured.

The Fourth of July celebration in Elk

Prospectors are Afraid to Develop
Their Own Property.
WHAT is NEEDED MOST
Prospectors Who Work and
Not Wait.

Many really promising mining camps
in the west are kept in the background,
and their development and advance
ment are kept slow merely because
mine owners and holders of prospects
are content TO postpone development
until they see what success rewards the
efforts of their neighbors, says Salt
Lake Mining Review. This class seems
to overlook the fact that if the claims
they own are possessed Of any value
they are worthy Of exploitation. Wait
ing for the transformation Of adjoining
property into profitable producer does
not tend TO the development Of a camp.
The success Of one property does not
necessarily mean that the next claim is
a bonanza; and yet, little systematic
and intelligent work may prove that it
is the best Of the two, and it might be
enabled 10 find a place on the shipping
list long before its neighbOr, upon
which active work is under way. In q
certain sense it is really cowardly foi

New Strike Made That
Assays $500 IN Gold.
ARE RUMORS OF A RAILROAD
Expect Clark VIII Build Line
to Hump Soon.

The new Four Mile country, which
sprang into prominence a few weeks
ago, is now one Of the best districts, if
not the best district in central Idaho,
IT'S rank having been given first by the
Howard and Lackie strike and by rich
discoveries that have been made since
and are still being made in the district.
According to reports that appear TO be
reliable, there are more prOspectors at
work along -Four Mile, Six Nile and
Ten Mile than in all the rest Of the dis
tricts 10 central Idaho. The number is
estimated TO be in the neighborhOod Of
300. Since the Howard and Laclie
strike new recruits have been going in.
At first the snow was 2 serious draw
back, and travel was slow, but the past
two weeks the travel has been SO great
that it borders close onto a stampede.
New arrivals are going in BY way o.
News0ne and Orogrande and the latte
place is almost dep0pulated.

RAILROADS III R||'||| !. MAJ ! :
Be CAUGHT ASLEEP
Doubtful II They Will be Pre-
pared to Handle Return
ing Property

Chicago Aug. 1s-The president and
board Of directors Of the Illinois
Manufacturers association see re-
turning prosperity coming with such
rush that they are alarmed with
regard to the ability Of the railroads
to take care of It.
For that reason a meeting Of the
board has been called for Friday Of
this week with 9 view to passing re-
solutions asking the railroads to hast
en- the repair Of all their. bad-order
cars and put all their power into
condition to be used when the del
uge Of tonnage comes. {
In explanation of that purported
action, It Is said the railroads or many
Of them at least are asleep on the
Job.
This lethargy is evidenced, It is as-
serted, by the fact that they have in
the interest of false. economy permit
ted hundreds OF thousands Of cars to
remain out Of repair believing there
would be no immediate use for them.
Officials Of the Northwestern road
realized months ago. that. all Of it's
equipment would be taxed when the
grain crop began to move and all it's
bad-order equipment has been repair
ed.
The management also has issued an
order which prevents It's box cars
from going of its rails thereby keep
ng all that equipment available on
short notice for the grain movement,
The Pennsylvania recently has put
10000 idle cars In commission, and
expects to have use for its $4,000 oth<
1icials that the number Of cars avail
er idle cars soon.
It is also announced by railroad Of
able will be less by at least 100000
than the number in service early last
fall.

Judge Taft said he believed he had

ant in the campaign.
But" he added, that will not, I
take it, preclude me from taking up
any subject and enlarging on It in the
speeches shall make to the various
delegations who may come to Gin
cinnati during the campaign. My
subjec/; will be chasen with particu-
