will Run a Tunnel

A contract for $50 feet of tunnel work
has just been let by the Bead Lake Min
ing Co., located in the Newport mining
district and about two miles from the
Conquest landing on the Pend Oreille
river. This property has been devel-
oped by about 260O feet of tunnel work
and large bodies of high-grade ore have
been found.
There are three distinct ledges on the
property, which crop out at the edge of
the river, and two of these have been
tapped on the property exactly accord
ing to the survey. Measurements show
that the main tunnel, where the contract
work will be done, will tap the third
ledge within 130 feet and at depth of
$50 feet. The mine is we'll equipped
with necessary machinery and the man.
agement expects to put the mine on a
paying basis in a short time.

Hill Opens Speed War

Chicago, Aug. 3l.-The railroad run
ming time from Chicago to Seattle will
be reduced to- 81 hours 10 hours below
the present schedule -as the first move
in a war declared upon all other western
and northwestern roads by James J..
Hill of the Great Northern, according
to story which the Record Herald will
print tomorrow
The Burlington, Great Northern and
Northern Pacific have made a propo-
sition to the postofice department to
put new fast mail train in service be-
tween Chicago and Seattle to make the
long ruu in 81 hours If the govern
ment accepts the proposition it will re-
suit in facilitating the northwest mail
service by FULLY half day. 1t is pro-
posed to start the new fast train out of
Chicago about :5U a. m. 1t is to ar
rive at Seattle at noon of the third day.

ing Commercial telegraph wire.
About fifteen miles of wire has been
strung, starting from Rathdrum and
working this way.
Contractor JAS. Tobin, who had two
large sub-contracts on the new railroad,
has completed his work and is moving
his outfit up from lone and loading for
shipment to Culberson, Mont, where
he has a contract on new Great North
ern branch. The steamer Ruth brought
up his outfit from lone.
The Great Northern had an extra
gang in town Wednesday, making some
repairs on the east end of the depot
platform. This does not look much like
the building ola new depot this fall. 1t
is intimated that there is some question
as to the ability of the State Railroad
Commission to enforce it's various orders
for improvements. Also that the .. K.
& N. practically told the commission to
take a jump into the lake and that they
would suit themselves as to obeying its
orders The building of new depot
and betterment of facilities for handling
freight at this point would certainly be
a business advantage to the Great North
ern, but it moves slowly, as do all great
bodies.

BIG CUT NOW COMPLETED
In Readiness for Passenger Ser.
vice to Usk
Other News of the Rail Roads

The big cut on the Mauzey property,
two miles north of Newport on the |. &
w. n. extension, was completed today
and the permanent track will be laid
through it tomorrow. The work on this
eat was under Sub Contractor Morrisey.
Trains have been operated around the
eat for some time-past, but the curve on
the temporary track was 80 sharp as to
delay passenger service until the COM
pletiOn of the cut.
The cut is much wider than was orig
inaly contemplated. and a great deal
more material had to be moved than
was at first estimated Instead of being
largely solid rock it was found on get
ting into the cut that large part of the
material was loose dirt and rock, which
made it necessary to acquire more right
"f-way from DR.. Nancy, not only for
the top of the cut, but also for ground
on which to place the waste material.
For the past month steam shovel has
been working night and day in the cut.
Saturday. Sept. 4. the first passenger
train to .Usk will pass through the cut.
The schedule calls for two trains a day,
as outlined in The MINER last week On
Sunday the first excursion from Spo-
kane will be run, connecting with :he
steamer lone at Usk and from thence to
lone and return.
The new depots at Usk and Dalkena
are about completed and the first twenty
miles to Usk is in first class shape for
the opening OF the passenger service on
Saturday. Section houses and a shelter
building for the flag station at Wofred
are also in place.
Tracklaying on the extension will be
resumed Saturday and Chief Engineer
Smith estimates that the steel ganti
will reach lone by October 18th. Ma
terial for the remainder of the work is
practically all on hand. 1t is predicted
that regular service to lone will be es-
tablished by December lst.

River Notes

The steamer Newport makes its last
trip on the Blueslide-Newport run to-
day. The Spokane and lone will be used
onthe Ione-Usk run, each making a
round trip daily to connect with the
passenger trains, while the Newport
will be tied up at Usk and used as
steamboat office until the completion of
the railroad to lone, when it is likely
that the boat service will be practically
discontinued.
This will leave the steamer Ruth the
only boat on the through run from New
port to lone. The Ruth is enjoying a
growing business and will soon be max
ing the through run to Metaline.
As the railroad progresses down the
valley the transfer of passengers and
freight to the boats will 60 down with
it, as it is conceded that the boats will
have difficulty in making the round trip
schedule from Usk to lone after the
water gets lower.
Citizens of Cusick are talking of build
ing public dock for the use of all boats.
The fact that the railroad does not con-
template. at least at present. the estab-
fishing of station at their town makes
the citizens desirous of keeping up boat
transportation.
The steamer Metaline is now making
connections at lone with the boats of
the, Pend Oreille River Navigation Co.
The Metaline made the first trip through
Box Canyon on Wednesday. coming
through from Elk Landing to the head
of the canyon in eight minutes. Capt.
Flanders is we'll pleased with the be-
havior of his boat in making the trip,
and anticipates no difficulty in making
connections.
A report is current at Standpoint that
several of the steamboats, of the Pind
Orielle River Navigation Co. will be
knocked down and shipped to Pend
Oreille Lake, where they will be placed
in service hauling ore to the smelter and
doing general passenger and freight
business. 1t is certainty that with
the completion of the Idaho & Wash
ington Northern Metaline extension
there will not be business enough on the
river to warrant retaining all the boats
now in commission.
Capt. Napoleon LeClerc, the veteran
steamboat man, left this noon for trip
to the Kootenai lake country in British
Columbia, to look over the steamboating
business in that section.

ALLOTT|NC LANDS TO INDIANS
Clair Hunt Will Parcel Out
Valuable Lands
Govt. Refused to Move Them

Clair Hunt, former clerk of the super
ior court of this county, who has for
some time been engaged in the work OF
making allotments to the Indians on TIE
Spokane and Colville Indian reserva
tions, left this noon for Cuslck, to start
the work of making allotments of the
point.
Mr.. Hunt will have a crew Of several
men to assist him IN the work, and took
down today a lot of supplies and camp
equipage. He states that the work will
take about six weeks to complete.
The allotting OF the lands to the In
dians is the result of petition circu-
lated last winter, asking the interior de-
partment to remove the Indians to some
reservation, alleging that they consti-
tute menace to the health OF white
residents of the valley. Also that they
should have school facilities and be
properly cared for by the government.
The department sent an agent to lnves-
tigate the conditions, and he found that
they were very much opposed to giving
up their homes in the valley. 1t was
therefore decided to make allotments of
lands to them and provide schools.
There is an Ind ian population in that
vicinity of about go Not all of them are
entitled to the full 16O-acre allotments,
and it is reported that since the news
that an allotment would be made has
gotten out a number of Indians from
other points have come into the valley
with the idea of getting in on the distri-
button.
At any rate there are enough Indians
vino have rights to take up about all the
land they are now holding. These lands
are classed among the best in the valley
ard it would have been far better fol-
both the Indians and the white resi-
dents had the government taken the rec
men to some distant agency and opened
the land for white settlement and de-
velopment.

BIG FIRE EAST Of TOWN.
Four Sections of Yellow Pine
Land Burned
Warden Reports Damage Sigh,

A forest fire directly east of town has
been burning since last Saturday and
has attracted considerable attention. At
night the fire presented beautiful but
awe-inspiring sight as it climbed the
mountains. Today the fire is practic-
ally under control and no further spread
is anticipated.
1t started in section 2l, township Sc,
range 5, about mile east of Albeni
Falls, and has burned over parts of 81,
Is, Is and %. 1t covered strip about
three miles long and mile to mile
and half wide, running north and
west.
The Pend Oreille Lumbermen's Pro-
tective Association, assisted by the state
fire warden, has had a force of men at
work fighting the flames. The state
deputy fire warden, residing at Spirit
Lake, returned to his home today, and
reports that the fire is under control and
has done but very little damage. 1t is
confined entirely to yellow pine timber,
and as there is very little brush the
timber is not hurt to any extent.
The Fidelity Lumber Co. had force
of men at work Tuesday backfring to
keep the fire from running through their
holdings and endangering their plant.
The fire was stopped at point about
two miles from the mill.
The big Granite creek fire in the Kan
iksu National Forest continues to rage
and is causing considerable anxiety. 1t
has covered large strip of territory,
but fortunately large percentage of it
had been burned over previously. For
est Supervisor Millar is on the ground
with force of over 100 men. This fire
has been burning over three weeks. and
perhaps the only thing that will stop it
is heavy rainfall.

lect several new teachers. School will
open next Monday and at this time
there are two vacancies on the list of
teachers, possibly three. Notification OF
their election has been wired to TWO
teachers but acceptance has not yet
been received The members of the

would make them feel like resigning
and hope that they will be able to keep
a string on those now lined up.

EVERGREEN
Want Land for Homestsads.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Want Land for Homesteads.
Goldendale-Senato Jones mas
fled with the Indian once petit
ton signed by residents Of Klicki-
tat county, asking that certain 1so-
lated tracts, now being held by the
government for the Indians, be made
available for homestead purposes.
The land has been used by the
neighboring settlers for many years,
who would like to obtain and keep
them legitimately, but, on account
of the withdrawal of the land from
entry, have been unable to do so.
This withdrawal was made at time
when there were a large number OF
Indians in this particular locality,
but now, owing to the fact that most
of these Indians have moved away
and those remaining have taken up
homes OF their own, there is no ap-
parent need for the reservation OF
these lands.
