with the secretary of the local CONNER
cial Club with the request that Newport
people aid in the movement.

siderable work connected with diking
district to be formed south of that town.
They will make an estimate OF the flow

structing dykes. dams and other matters
connected with the proposed improve
ments.
The necessity of providing against
reoccurance of the disastrous conditions
of this year is generally recognized by
the residents and it is likely that the
result of the movements now on foot
will be protection of the whole valley
and it's transformation into one of the
best and surest agricultural regions that
can be found.

now at work between Penrth and this
station The whole stretch of track be-
tween IIillyard and Velour, Mont. a
distance of 1862 miles, is being relald and

greatly needed. 1t is again rumored
that there will be a slight change toward
the south of the tracks in the local
yards. so as to take out some OF the
curve leading onto the new track on the
fill east of town. The grade through
town will also be lowered several feet.

being built by the |. 4 W. \. and the

PROGRESS AT METALINE
What is Being Done at The
Famous Lead Camp
Concentrator Started Tuesday

Considerable work is being done on
the Oriole claims in the Metaline dis
trirt this summer. A crOsscut tunnel is
being driven, which is expected to cnt
the large vein of ore most any dav. 1t
is evident that the vein is being ap
preached, as every seam in the country
rock is stained with copper, which must
come from that vein. Recent assays
from the vein gave results Of $2l95.27
uer ton, which was. of course, from a
uicked sample. The whole vein is ship
ping ore and the company expects to be
shipping within sixty days.
The Spokane Lead Mines company
concentrator at Metaline, after having
been thoroughly tried out on country
rock. was started on ore Tuesday after
noon.
Across the river. on the east side,
work is being continued on the Morn
ing mine. The new road to the mine
has been completed and put in good
shape for hauling in the concentration
machinery. Everything is in readiness
for the construction of the mill, and at
the present time the company is await
ing the fall in the river 80 that it will
he safe to take down the machinery. 1t
is expected that by the latter part OF
this week it will be safe to start rafting
the machinery through the canyon.
With the completion and successful
operation of the Ruth, the new steamer
of the Metaline Navigation Company,
Metaline will take on new grip of life,
and within a short time will take its
place as one of the productive camps of
the west.

line miner, went to the lower river
country Monday. Mr. Mead is one of

F. c. Miller, who has been working
on the steamer Spokane, has resigned

the harvest season.
The Navigation Co. will soon have
their office located on the bank of the
river near the present landing, instead
of on the docks as at present. The
building formerly used as an office by
the McInnis Lumber Co. will be re-
moved to the landing and used for office
purposes. This move will prove great
accommodation for the patrons of the
company.
The machinery for the steamer Ruth
has not yet arrived, and it is doubtful
whether it has been shipped as yet.
Capt. Lanneau is very much put ont by
the delay, as the work of the ship car
penters is about finished, and the delay
in the machinery will set the boat back
about six weeks
Miscreants caused about $25 worth Of
damage to tie gasoline launch Sham
rock, belonging to the Flynn brothers,
one dav this week. The boat was mOored
at the transportation Co.'S dock. 1t is
thought that several boys who have

that portion of the town were the cul
prits.
The Northern NJ ercantile Co. expects
to resume the work of handling poles at
their hoist next week. During the re-
cent high water the piling and piers of
