The survey for the proposed line has
been made, and it is generally conceded
by railroad officials that the extension
to the South Fork and Elk City pro-
perties must be made by the company
within a short time to develop the
tonnage necessary to offset the in
vasion OF the Northern Pacific territory
by the Milwaukee and other roads.
The Dewey mine has been under pro-
cess of development for the last sew
eral years. Large bodies of ore, from
which high assays have been secured,
have been blocked out. The matter of
shipping the ore through Grangeville
is now being taken up by General
Agent Jordan of the Northern Pacific
company, who has been in the upper
Clearwater country for the last several
days, and who has made a personal
visit to the company's properties -

to induce congress to build a wagon
road from Grangeville that will bring
a large number of these fourishing
camps into easy communication with a
railway. For that purpose SIS, 900 is
asked.
The memorial states facts sufficient
to warrant congress in acting, but it
is safe to say right now, that any such
appropriation will have the united op-
position of the powerful forestry de-
partment and if congress acts it will
be because the members of that body
have already learned to distrust the
forestry bureau The fact that the
mining camps named produced as much
as S119. .389.9l mostly in gold during the
first eleven months of last year, is q
sufficient guaranty that Pinchot ano
his forces viii not wish any further en-
couragement added to the mining in.

Face of East Drift in Good
Ore.

The contract for driving drift on
the ledge, 100 feet east of the main
working tunnel, at the Umatilla, was
completed last week. The last 20 feet
of the drift was all in what is said to
be the best ore ever found on the COM
pany's ground. The full face of five
feet being mostly oxidized ore. AS
there has been no cross-cutting done at
present, it is impossible to tell the
width of the ore body at this point
From surveys made it was not expected
that the ore shoot would be encounter
ed for another 100 feet. 1t is under
stood that the company will either let
another contract or put on a crew
themselves.

At the Couer d'Alene group, better
known as the French Pete claims,
located on the Santiam in the Ten Mile
country, more men will be put to work
in the main tunnel, as the raise to the
surface is through and they now have
plenty Of good air.
Drifting and prosecuting will con-
tinue until spring when they will put
on machinery and sink. They have
some very high grade ore in both Of

General Agent Jordan In
Camp.
WILL REPORT TO HIS COMPANY
Was Very Much Impressed
With What He Saw.

w. j. Jordan, general travelling traffic
agent for the Northern Pacific, arrived
in camp last week to take a look at the
different prospects now undergoing de-
vtlopnient and those that have show
ings iustifying more work being done
On them. On account of the snow, it
was impossible for him to visit only a
few of the properties that are now at
work. In speaking or his observations.
he spoke from an unofficial stand point:
Mr.. Jordan said that what impressed
him most was such wonderful surface
showings, and where any development
work had been done, that the tonnage
shown was remarkable.
While he could only see a few Of the
best properties, it was very plain that
the one thing that held the camp back
was the lack Of transportation, and he
intimated that il would not be very
long before this would be overcome.
He was surprised 70 learn that nearly
al the prospecting had been done very
close 10 the main travelled roads, and
that there had been very little back in
the hills where il is hard 70 get 70. IL
seem 10 strike him that the country
had hardly been scratched.
Mr. Jordan stated that the freight
coming into the district was q great
deal more than the people living in here
bad any idea Of and from q railroad
stand point was considered very good
business.

Idaho County and the Forest

The hardship TO the state and the
manner in which its progress is i'm

illustrated by the facts set forth in a
joint memorial presented by Parsons
Of Idaho county TO the house Of repre-
addressed TO the congress
Of the United States for relief by the
building Of a highway across Land that
the government has seen fit to exercise
jurisdiction over but which it has not
SEN fit TO expand money upon by way
of improvement, and which it has not
seen fit TO exercise police jurisdiction
oy r..
IL is frequently stated that Idaho
county is q very large county and 1t is
common 70 compare its area with vari-
Gus states Of the east. But according
70 the figures given in the memorial
the county consists Of but 81, l65 acres
Of land, while the forest reserve tsifes
from the county the immense total Of
5.036. $50 acres. That is W say, The
