A WISE INVESTOR.

Ed Hancy spent several days in Oro-
Vile and vicinity during the past week
Mr.. Hanev was formerly Il resident of
Spokane, but of late years he has made
his home at Los An geles. In the early
days of the Ro5sland boom Mr. Haney
got in on the ground floor. He secured
large interests in the War Eagle mine,
and when that property was unloaded
he came out IA fortune to the good. Mr..
Haney was wise in his generation.
Prior to his good fortune in the mine
deal dollars were none too plentiful
about his person. When he secured a
stake he did not propose that all of it
should get away again. Most of his
money was ut once invested in land.
He bought large tracts near Spokane,
secured some good ranches on the Ok
anogan between this place and Ton
asket, and best of all got hold of much
land near Los Angeles, upon, or near,
which San Monada and Venice, flour
ishing resident sections of Los Ange-
les have since come into prominence.
When Mr.. Haney made his invest
ments land possessed only a nominal
value. Since that time these holdings
have Increased prodigiously in value,
and today the far-seeing investor is far
ahead of his original windfall. 1t may
be added that Mr.. Haney did not put
all of his capital in land, for after a
judicial distribution of the bulk of the
fortune he made trip around the
world, and since has gotten for him
self the best in life that money could
buy. He looks hardlya day older than
he did years ago when the writer first
knew him in Spokane, and to all APP
pearance promises to live many years
to enjoy the income from his wise in
vestments in dirt

STILL FIGURING ON WATER

A committee of the city council was
out on the lake Monday afteroon TAX
ing soundings to locate deep hole
into which to extend the intake pipe
for the proposed water works. That
greatly needed public utility has not
been dropped, although little has been
said about it recently. The fact is
there are many preliminaries to mast
er before actual and active work can
commence, and that much desired be-
ginning cannot be looked for until next
spring. One of the important points
to get at is the probable cost, and the
excursion Monday was for the purpose
of ascertaining the approximate ex-
pense of an intake. The committee
was successful in the search, and the
deep water selected was marked out
with buoy.

COMING OUR WAY.

The appearance of two of the county
commissioners in Oroville, last week,
leads our people to believe that that
body is at last to recognize the eXis-
tence of this part of the county, and
extend to it some long needed aid in
the way of road and bridge improve
ments. 1t was given out that both the
bridges across the Okanogan and the
one crossing the Similkameen would
receive much needed repairs. The
Similkameen bridge is in fair state
of preservation, but the other two, on
the Okanogan, the lower one having
been condemned by the county engi
neer as unsafe, are greatly in need of
repairs. The upper bridge will re-
ceive immediate attention, and when
the water reaches its normal stage the
lower bridge will be more thoroughly
examined, and if it can be made pass
able the commissioners will have the
necessary work done.

A CLOSE CALL.

Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. O. Moore and son
Ralph, of Loomis, arrived in Oroville
Monday afternoon on their way to Sc
attic, where they expect to make their
future home. The party, at least Mrs.
Moore, came in very severely bruised
and shaken up as the result of an ex-
citing and very nearly serious accident
that occurred on the drive between
Loomis and Nighthawk. The family
was driven to Nighthawk by Al. Judd.
When nearly around Palmer lake, and
at about the worst place on the, road
where such au accident could happen,
bolt fell out of one side of the circle
that attaches the pole to the vehicle.
This swung the wagon over the grade,
spilling all OF the occupants out. Mr.
Moore, Mr.. Judd and the boy Ralph
escaped with minor bruises, the boy

TO BE OVERHAULED.


The Peerless hotel is to entirely
overhauled, repaired and modernized,
and when the contemplated improve
ments are completed it will be second
to no hostelry in equipment, attractive
ness and accommodations in any of the
lesser cities of the state. The whole
of the ground floor of the new section,
that was originally arranged for stores,
is to be utilized for hotel purposes. a
new, complete and modern kitchen is
to be built, and the old part of the
building is to be remodled to conform
and correspond with the new addition.
The vacant lot to the south which is
part of the hotel property is to be
fenced and set out to trees and flowers.
When the contemplated changes are
carried out the Peerless from every
point of view will be worthy of the
name, and Mine Host Tilley will be at
the head of an establishment that he
can feel proud of.

INCREASING THE FORCE
The Nighthawk Mine Under
a Thorough System of
Development.
THE STAMPS FALLING STEADILY
A Vigorous Effort Being Made to
Pot the Property IN the Divi-
dend Paying Glass.

JACK Gormley, who has supervisor
of the Nighthawk mine, was in town
Tuesday. He recently received tele-
gram from Henry D. James instruct
ing him to put the large power drill
at work in the face of the tunnel, to
drive that big adit on into the noun
tain, and use the smaller power drill
on the drift Men were also to be put
to work at No. tunnel taking out the
richer quality of ore in that station,
which was cut when work was in pro-
gress at that tunnel. Following his
instructions Mr.. Gormley now has
dozen men working on the mine prop
erty, while Dave Ionic keeps the
stamp mill pounding away. Just at
the present time, next to the Palmer
mountain tunnel, the Nighthawk is
employing the largest force of men at
work on any of the various mining
propositions in the county, and the
Nighthawk mill is the only one in the
county that is not idle. The results of
the long run on the ore now being ex-
tracted from the Nighthawk is evil
IDENTIFY sufficiently encouraging to just
fy increased activity in getting out ore
and going after more. The ore that is
being miled is of rather low grade,
and it is we'll known that there are
number of veins of mineral bearing
quartz of much higher grade still be-
yond the face which the tunnel will
eventually cut. Mr.. Gormley states
that some ore from No. 2 has been run
through the mill, and as result of the
first short run an ounce, or more of
gold was caught on the plates. This is
new revelation, as heretofore it was
not considered that gold values to any
extent were present in this ore, but if
the same ratio of production continues
the gold values promise to cut a large
figure in the total metal product of the
mine. The aim of the company is to
extend the tunnel as rapidly as possi
bic to reach the ore bodies that crop
pings insure the existence still further
in the mountaiy. These groupings
have been pretty thoroughly prospected,
and assays from the ledge have given
values better than the returns from the
ores lower down on the hill. When
once these ledges are reached it is con-
tidently believed that the future of the
mine is assured and that steady and
profitable income can be relied upon.
One thing is certain the work is in
good hands. No money is being thrown
away in the process of development,
and if the Nighthawk can be made to
reach that point of successful produc-
tion that the promoters have always
anticipated and promised the stock
holders, those in charge will certainly
gain that end. If the Nighthawk can
only be made self-sustaining until that
time when it is able to pay dividends,
then the reputation of the countrJ
would he made, and other properties
would be taken hold of, operated right
and prove to be bonanzas.

BAND CONCERT.

Possibly it is waste of space to adj
wise the population to turn out to the
band concert, to be given this Friday
evening, in Sigrist hall, yet some one
who would otherwise attend may for
get it il their memory is not logged,
hence reference is again made to the
coming musical event. The band is a
fixture and feature of the town, and
deserving of every encouragement.
The members have applied themselves
diligently to become proficient in the
use of the instruments they manipulate,
and they have SO far succeeded that
they can produce sounds better entitled
to the name of melody than noise. And
they are steadily, constantly and con-
gregation may not rival Sousa's famous
band, they at least make a very credit
able showing. and with some more ap-
plication will put up Il brand of sweet
sounds that will compare favorably
with the best brass performance in the
state. The proceeds Of the concert go
to aid the organization, and the pro-
ceeds should be swelled to volume
only limited to the capacity of the hall.
The concert will be worth the money,
and more, for u programme has been
arranged that cannot fail to please
every lover of music and that includes
everybody in II normal state of mind or
health. Turnout tonight and fill tho

DEAR EDITORS:
I've been attending the Brotherhood
convention here. Some 300 delegates,
besides many other listeners from the
Inland Empire Preachers were not
allowed to preside, nor to do most of
the talking, but they were preached to
and about not little by lawyers, mer-
chants, teachers, coal dealers and 9TH
er professional and business men of
Spokane, Chicago, New York, etc.
Next Sunday evening I'd like to pass
on to the men and young men-and wo
men, too-of Oroville some of the ideas,
inspiration and items of interest of this
gathering of men with messages for
men of the Inland Empire. Words as
to what the home, community, church
and state ought to mean, be and do
and how men, laymen, every day busy
men, are studying to solve the prob

BACKING HIS FAITH.

The Kirkwood Liquor Co., of which
firm Archie Ash, of Spokane, is presi-
dent, has erected several first-class ho-
tells in the west. Among them Savoy,
at Mssoula, is model modern four
story brick, a credit to that city and to
the enterprising people who put their
money into such an Investment. Among
other places in which Mr.. Ash has be-
come interested in late years is Oro-
vile. He looked upon the town some
time ago and pronounced it good He
realized that its natural location was
such that nothing could prevent it
from eventually becoming a large and
important city. So thoroughly was he
convinced of the promise for a bright
future that upon his representations
and judgment his associates joined him
in the investment of a large sum of
money in the town, and they expect to
put in more money to aid in Fastening
the day when the place will gain the
prominence that it is entitled to at
tain. If other men of means, with in
terests here. would display the same
spirit of confidence and iiberality the
growth of Oroville would be stimulat-
ed, and it would sooner reach the place

that the scribe knows less about than

miles out of town one of the gay and
frisky quadrupeds that yanked along
the vehicle insisted upon getting his
caudal appendage over the lines, and
after dong 50 proceeded to pull the
lines overheard. The team commenced
doing the circus act at once, and the
hapless driver fell between the wheels
and made a spectacle of himself that
gave the audience, already pretty much
interested in their own affairs, heart
throb,. The live freight was spilled
out promiscuouS, the rig somewhat
damaged, and the pencil pusher had
his wishbone showed back until it
shook hands with his spinal column,
and lost yard or two of cuticle from
his shins.. 1t was very. very narrow

hereafter he will manage to get along

Possibly some of these accusations are

Possibly some of these accusations are
somewhat overdrawn, but it is well
known that on all roads some of the
station employees, at least, are less oe-
curate in their information concerning
the arrival of trains than is pleasing
to an interested public.
The practice of making false reports
of the time of arrival of belated trains
at the union depot is to be done away
with as far as the Denver & Rib
Grande is concerned by the issuing of
an order by Horace w. Clarke, the new
vice president and general manager,
that the exact time of arrivals shall in
the future be announced on the bullet
in boards.
During the past few years it has
been the custom at the depot when a
train was four or five hours late to an
nounce that it was twenty or thirty
minutes behind time. When that Pc
riod of time had elapsed it was again
marked up as being due in a shor.
time.
The new order does away with that
condition as far as the Denver & Rio
Grande is concerned and it is expected
that other roads will follow suit.
