OfiOIe to Ship Ore

G. J. Johnson, OF Spokane, secretary
of the Mammoth and Morning and
Oriole mining companies, OF the Meta
line district, was down river the past
week. On his return he reported that
the lumber is being sawed for the new
Mammoth and Morning concentrator,
and that the machinery will soon be
shipped down. force of men is still
at work on the wagon road from the
landing at the mouth of Sullivan creek
to the mine.
Mr.. Johnson reported that in few
days the Oriole would be shipping ore in
sacks to the Standpoint smelter. Men
have been started at work sorting the
ore and sacking it, The Oriole is con-
sidered one OF the best properties in the
camp and paying shipments from the
mine will be boost for the camp.
The people living along the proposed
Calispel road cutoff have been working
faithfully, and have the work about half
com mpleted. With a little assistance
from Newport people the road can be
put in good condition and it will GER
tainly be benefit to our town. A PEE
tition is being circulated to be presented
to the county commissioners, asking
them to take it over as county road
until the state gets busy on it.

and citizens, who will be benefited by
the prosperity Of Newport. The COM
mlttee will endeavor to see all, and the
matter should be well considered and
the committee given the best possible
reception. The burden should not
be compelled to rest too heavily on
any particular interest, but all should
feel that they have personal interest
in the matter and do what they can to
carry out the project.
The building of the ferry means that
the big new mill of the Fidelity Co.,
with payroll of 100 employees, will be
kept part Of our town, and, in addi-
ton. it will facilitate the crossing of the
river by ranchers on the east side and
materially increase the trade territory
of our town.

River News.

Beginning about October l there will
be round trip daily service, Metaline
to Newport and return given by the
launch Nancy. The Nancy will make
the trip daily, leaving Metaline at a.
m., running through Box Canyon and
avoiding the transfer around the canyon ::
will arrive at Newport, connecting with
Great Northern trains, east and west,
and |. & W. N. train to Spokane. Re-
turning will leave Newport at 2 o. m.
after arrival of |. & w. n. and Great
Northern trains, arriving at Metaline
before dark.
The Nancy will carry only passengers,
light baggage and express. She is the
fastest craft on the river and will carry
about 20 passengers. Stops will be
made at only the more important land
ings. Since the high water of this
spring the Nancy has been running be-
low the canyon, but now that the can
yon can be safely navigated she will be
placed on the through run.
BY this service passengers can leave
Metaline in the morning and arrive at
Spokane at p. M, or leave Spokane at
II :15 and arrive at Metaline before dark.
The launch Fran, which has been be-
low Box Canyon, since last spring, was
brought up last week by Capt. Arnold.
and is now being used for towing logs
for the Dean Lumber Co.'S mill at Blue
slide.
The launch Skidoo was taken through
Box Canyon last week, anc is being
used on the Box Canyon Metaline run
by the Pend Oreille River Navigation
Co.

WILL MAKE NO CHANGE
State Line Surveyors Have Ar
rived at Newport.
Merely Re- e-Tracing the Old Line

The government surveyors who are
working on the Washington-Idaho state
line survey are now encamped within a
half mile south of town. They will
make Newport headquarters for the re-
mainder of the survey to the British
Columbia line as this is the last railroad
point from which they can get supplies.
A distance of ITO miles has already
been surveyed from the junction of the
Clearwater and Snake rivers to Newport
and about rs miles more of work re-
mains to be done. The surveyors do
not anticipate that they will be able to
finish the work this season as much the
harder part OF the job is still before them.
With the coming of the surveyors the
question whether Newport will be af-
fected by the survey is settled. The law
as passed by congress does not provide
for anything but retracing of the
original survey which was made neces-
sary by the fact that the original posts
have been destroyed or obliterated in
the thirty years that have passed since
the line was first run. The line was
never completed as the work was alb
andoned when the surveyors were about
five miles from the British Columbia
line because they were overtaken by
severe winter and were out of supplies.
Therefore if the present markings in
Newport are correct as to the old line,
and there is no reason to believe they
are not, the town of Newport will not in
any way be affected by the survey now
being run. They surveyors report that
they have experienced no difficulty thus
far in finding the old markings They
are setting hollow iron posts, filled with
cement, every mile and every FIVE or six
miles they are erecting stone monu-
ments. They are also marking section
corners in both states.

WEST SIDE GETS RAILROAD
Idaho & Washington Northern Names Route for
the Metaline Extension
viii Build Into lone by November of Next Year.

After several months of surveying on
both sides of the Pend Oreille river
4ideration of the cost of construction
maintenance and operation on both
sides, the officials of the Idaho 4 Wash
iugton Northern Railroad have selected
the route down the west side of the
river for their Metaline extension. In
arriving at this conclusion the adyan-
tages and drawb backs of both sides have
been thoroughly canvassed; one item
helped the west side to get the decision
was the heavy expense of bridging the
river. From the standpoint of tonnage
the west side has at present the most to
offer. On the east side the Panhandle
Lumber Co. controls most of the timber
while on the west side several other
companies have large holdings which,
will be tapped by the new road,
~-- Options on right. of way have been
taken on both sides of the river Those
on the west side are now being ac-
cepted fright of Way Agents Reynolds
and Redhead leaving this morning to
close up the deals and registered letters
accepting the options are being mailed
to parties that cannot be reached in
person.
President Blackwell. of the |. & W.
n, in an interview at Spokane this
week, said that the new road would
reach lone hv November of next year.
1t is hardly probable that much work
will be done this fall, as financial condi-
tions will be more or less unsettled until
after election, and it will be rather late
in the season to do much work. From
Newport to lone is about SIS miles, to
Metalne is 10 miles further, and the
extension to the mining camp will be

At the Spokane land office there is

cited considerable interest and num-

built, as Mr.. Blackwell says, within a
few years
Considerable costly construction work
will be encountered, but on the whcle a
satisfactory grade has been found above
the high water mark of 1894, except
through the Calispel valley. The
| first few miles north of Newport will
present about as heavy work as there
will be on the line, and fill of about
$50, 900 yards will be needed to cross the
Ashenfelter bay
There will be great rejoicing in the
Calispel valley country and down the
west side over the decision favorable to
them, as the people of that section have
been particularly anxious to secure the
road. AS is always the case some peo-
pie have opposed the coming of the road
and expressed the hope that it would
60 down the side of the river opposite to
them.
The building of the railroad and the
money spent in this section during the
next year cannot fail to bring business
prosperity, in which all will share The
Idaho & Washington Northern is one of
the best equipped and built railroads in
the United States. Its builders are
liberal in dealing with the public, and
are doing a great work for this country
in thus forwarding its development
The great resources of the Pend Oreille
valley have lain untouched for many
years. Now it will be transformed into
productive country and one that will
attract many who viii come to make
their homes and help to make the coun-
try what it's resources warrant.
