SnoWstorm Big Property
A number of reputable mining
engineers who have visited the
Snowstorm mine at different stages
OF its development have pronounced
it one of the most promising gold
properties they had ever seen.
Five claims comprise the quartz
property. then there is placer
field of $50 acres. The quartz de-
posit is big porphyry dixie with
three parallel veins running
through. Two tunnels, one 70 feet
and the other 2l0 feet, both run on
the vein, have explored one ore
body to the depth Of ITO feet. The
ledge runs in width from two to
five feet. A strike Of free gold was
made in No. tunnel last spring
at point 100 feet from the portal,
which gave the richest specimen
ore ever found in the Elk City dis
trict.
The placer takes in some of the
old Red Horse placer, which was
worked extensively years ago.

DEVELOPMENT WORK SOON,
Biggest Dear Made Since the
Sale of the Buster Property

Two big sales of mining property
we're made last week in the Elk
District. Both properties are ex-
cellent ones and the "Snowstorm"
one of the properties, is supposed to
he among the biggest properties in
the camp. The purchasers have a
local Office in this city and are
making Grangeville their head
quarters. Here is what the Mining
News of that camp has to cay:

Win Build Hall 6Oxe6 Feet.

At meeting Of the Odd Fellows
held last Saturday evening to dis
cuss the advisability Of construct
ing brick hall and opera house,
it was decided to turn down the
proposition Of building a brick
structure and committee appoint
ed to have plans drawn and cost
estimated of remodelling the present
hall of the order and building an
addition 30x96 feet. 1t is the in
tention of the order to build an
addition to the old hall 3Ox96, re-
move the wall, and thus give them
q building 6Ox96 feet, which is
considerable larger than the pres
ent Armory. The structure will be
two story, the second story being
occupied with lodge rooms and
banquet ball, and the first story
will be arranged with large stage
in the rear and probably a part
fitted up with opera chairs. This
will make quite ali addition to the
business blocks in the city and give
the community an excellent hal
for entertainments of all kinds.

is the most natural power site to be
found within radius of many
miles of Elk City. Red river car
ries larger volume of water than
any other stream in the district,
the fall near the Snowstorm mine
is great and there is point where
the two banks come close together.
point where high dam could be
put in at comparatively little cost.
The power that can be brought
under contribution from the waters
of the Red river, alone make the
Snowstorm valuable property,
and its nearness to the Gold Seal
placer has often caused men to re-
mark that there is the logical
source of power with which to
operate the dredge the Chicago
company proposes to build.
Prospector's Reward
The sum the owners have re-
ceived is reward this world gives
the man who goes into the hills in
search of earth's treasures, works
hard, suffers being alone, but keeps
up courage, does his work well and
sticks everlastingly to it. Mr..
Coverly has been prospector in
this district for twenty years. Be-
fore coming here he lived in Spo-
kane and was a member of the
police force of that city, but his de-
sire to be a miner was cultivated in
in him when as youth he worked
in the lead mines near Warren,
and Galena, Illinois. All of Mr.
Coverley's prospecting has been in
the vicinity of the Snowstorm mine

SOY BEANS.

The Rural World says that one
reason why soy beans have not be-
come more prominent in American
agriculture has been the impossible
ty of securing seeds of a particular
variety. In the few localities in the
United States where farmers have
learned low to utilize them to best
advantage they have proved to be a
crop OF high value. They are espec-
Tally valuable for mixing with corn
for silage, for the production of hay.
and for use as pasture. especially for
hogs. An expert of the Department
OF Agriculture has made a study Of
the soy bean for several years and
has Identified no less than twenty.
Two varieties. These have been class
ihed and described in a bulletin lust
Issued, and the department hopes
that with this information farmers
viii hereafter be able to obtain from
seedsmen the particular varieties
which they wish to plant.

A City Without a Railroad.

We are apt to think that
great city, containing the comforts
and elegancies of modern life, cannot
exist without railroads at its gates
Bogota. tile capital of the republic of
Colombia, is an exception. Having a

excellent schools and colleges, filter

elegant society that knows the Paris.

which no railroad has yet reached.
There is, however. short railroad on
the plateau itself. But to get TO it
by the most used route, one must
journey two and half days on mule.

ducing the mule ride to seven or
eight hours, requires several days of
river navigation. But the railroad Is

them out into the orchard and go
over the apple, pear. plum and cherry
trees, and explain why you do things.
III your trees were properly trimmed
when they were set out they can be
kept in shape without much prun-
ing. But go over the trees every
spring, using sharp knife and
pruning shears. Make clean, neat
cuts, and if large limbs are removed
use saw. Cut out crossed limbs,
Thin out the top. but don't cut off too
many lower limbs. Keep the head as
low as possible. A beginner must
prune with great deal of care. The
aim should be to keep the trees
shapely and keep the fruit as near
the ground as possible. indiana

Distribute the Aliens

Some definite and well organized
movement ought manifestly to be
made toward the wider scattering
throughout the country of the horde
of aliens that is continually trooping
into our country. II is not good either
for themselves or for the public that
they plant themselves, as they have
been doing, in great colonies in the
large cities. That practice makes for
continued poverty, ill-health, general
conditions that are not desirable. 1t

How the Strawberry Was Named.

Many persons have wondered how
strawberries got their name. They
have been so called by Anglo-Saxon
people for hundreds of years, but no
corresponding name for them appears
In other languages. On the contrary.
their fragrance mainly is set forth in
the names by which they are called
in non-English speaking lands. The
old Anglo-SaXon form was "streaw-
berige' 1t seems probable that the
straw is the long stem of the vine,
which runs along the ground Some
have thought, however, that in ancient
times the Anglo-SaXon berry hunters
brought the berries home or sent
them to market upon straws. The
explanation that the word is q cor
ruption of "strayberry," due to the
running habit of strawberry vines, is
believed to be erroneous.
