WHO WILL BE MINoT's NEXT
MAYOR?
Several Candidates May Be in the
Fie'd-We Have plenty Of Good Ma
teriaI-Take Your Choice.

Who will be Minot's next Mayor?
This is question that no one can
answer, and just now the citizens Of
Minot are looking the field over for 4
candidate. At least, one faction is
trying to decide upon man who can
be elected.
True, there is one man who has al
ready announced. his candidacy. He is
+ William Dunnell, the gentlemanly
manager and part owner Of the Minot
Flour Mill. He is backed by the Civic
League, an organization that stands
for the strict enforcement of the laws
of our city. Mr.. Dunnell has declared
that if elected, he will segregate the
scarlet women of the city, and place
proper police protection in their To-
callty. He will close up the gambling
dens and stop blind pigging. He will
clean up the streets and the alleys and
stand for everything that Progressive
Minot needs.
Those are good principles Dunneg
IS a good man, clean in every way,
and the Leaguers say that he ought
to be elected and furthermore they
say that his election is already an as
sured fact.
But, there are others who think that
Mr.. Dunnell would screw the lid of
Mlnot down too tightly. They say We
want the laws enforced to a certain
extent, but we don't want a Clos
ed town. Both factions believe in to
segregation Of the friendless womel4,
the cleansing Of the streets and the
alleys and the installation of {. Dropae
WaterWorks system, etc.

CAN'T MOVE MILL
UNTIL IN JUNE

The Boyer mill which was purchased
by the South Fork Mining company, and
which was to have been moved this
spring, will not be moved to the South
Fork mine until after the snow is gone,
owing to the condition of the road.
Manager Frank Peck with teams and
men last week undertook to open the
road to the mill, but after two days
work concluded by. the time they had
the road open over the mountain the
snow on the main road would be gone,
so work is suspended for the present.
The mill will be moved sometime in
June. Until that time Manager Peck
and men will give their attention to the
underground work in the mine.

August Shultz, manager at the Del
Rio mine, in Buffalo Hump, arrived in
Grangeville one day last week. He re-
ported eight feet of snow on the level
at the mine. He and his partners have
drifted $50 feet on the Del Rio vein in
the past two months. The ore body
has widened and averages from four to
six feet, the average assay of which A. is
$25. SO per ton. This average was from
the last so feet of drift. A four inch
strata of brown hematite has just been
encountered that averages better than
s1OO per ton. This rich streak was en-
countered in the last six feet of the
drift.

the following news:
The spring travel to the mines at Elk
City, Dixie and Orogyande has COM
menced. Every stage goes in loaded to
the limit.
The roads from Sites to Elk City are
in fair condition and many freight
teams are on the road with machinery
and general supplies for Elk City and
Orogrande. =.
Lisle Hopkins and Harry Cone have
started work on their quartz claims at
Newsome. The property is showing up
fine. They own two claims, the Vick-
ory and Arasta.
Mckenzie & Thornton have teams on
the road with SO barrels of lime for the
Hogan company. The Hogan peopls
have their supplies in and the big mine
will start work in few days.
The saw mill at the Impgene mine
on Meadow creek, near Newsome, has
been completed and is now saving out
lumber for the stamp mill buildings
The machinery for the Stamp mill il

Mr.. Jones opinion is that the cross
cut tunnel struck the ledge at rather
low point, and that the ore is improving
both east and west. 1t is the intention
of the owners to keep on with the de-
velopment work until all doubts as to
the size and value of their ore body is
settled. This company began develop
ment work in October, 1905, since
which time they have been steadily at
it with force varying from three to
ten men. They have at present seven
men at work on the property under the
able directions of Mr.. Fred Long. Mr..
Schlosser, of Chicago, the president of
the company, spent several weeks at
the property last summer and is ex-
pected out again this year. Mr..
Schlosser's method of developing mine
is highly commended by everyone that
has watched the progress of the Una
tiila. His plan is to do one thing at 9
time. Get your mine first, then your
power, then your mill.

Prospects of Big Mine Near
Orogrande.

Several weeks ago Mining News made
mention of J. H. Jones, mining engi-
neer of Lewiston, making aprofessional
trip to Orogrande, but at the time the
paper was not at liberty to comment on
the particular object of his visit except
ing to say that Mr.. Jones was highly
pleased with the prospects of the dis
trict. We are now in position to say
that Mr.. Jones' trip was in the interest
of the Umatilla company and that his
report discloses very encouraging sit
uation at that property.
Mr.. Jones says, "the Umatilla will
develop into big NINE His report
is long and technical so it is hard to
quote from it, but it shows that they
have a well defined ore body 80 feet
wide, and that they have drifted on this
ore body for more than 400 feet and
have put in nine crosscuts. making
more than 600 feet of underground
work actually in ore. The main, or
crosscut, tunnel is 772 feet long. strik-
ing the ore body 628 feet from the
portals, and at depth of 240 feet.
The owners of the Umatilla have
never claimed anything more for the
property than that it was an immensely
large low grade property. Mr.. Jones'
assay sheet will bear them out in this.
Following are some of the assays he
gives:

RIVAL OF MILWAUKEE,
Engineers Again Make Trip
Along the Stream.

Lewiston, April 8-Engineers for the
Pittsburg- Gilmore Railroad company,
believed to be subsidiary company of |
the Chicago o-Northwestern Railroad
company, reached the city today in the
river boat Salmon City. The party left
Salmon City 20 days ago and report a
most successful trip but decline to di-
vulge any information relative to dist
ances or conditiors encountered.
The party is in charge of Engineer
T. H. Bacon, who has been engaged in
engineering work for the Pittsburg-
Gilmore company on the headwater of
the Salmon river for the past year.
The boat was in charge of Captain
Harry Guleke, who has made three
previous trips down the Salmon river
and is recognized as the best-informed
pilot for the Salmon river trip. Other
members of the party are c. A. Nc
Clung and D. Sandilands.
"We have little to say" said Mr..
Bacon, when seen by a reporter. ''The
trip was most successful and was for
the purpose of ascertaining whether it
is possible to secure an outlet from the
Salmon river basin by this route.
''The work is being performed by the
Pittsburg- Gilmore Railroad company of
Pittsburg, Pa, and as to their identity
with any other company we are not in

"What do you know of the opera
tions of the Chicago-N Northwestern"
Mr.. Bacon was asked.
''We have no information on this SUBJ
ject, but would suggest that if Lewis
ton ever gets transcontinental road it
will be the Chicago-N Northwestern, by
the Salmon river route"
Mr.. Bacon states the construction of
road would doubtless be an expensive
undertaking, and it is only for the
people who are furnishing the money tc
determine whether the route is feas.
