May Form Wenatchee Connection.

J. NJ. Snow, who until the first of
this month has been state highway
commissioner, expressed himself last
week while here Investigating the
Wenatchee bridge across the Column
bia river. that there was a deal pend
ing between himself and J. M. Sea-
men and Jack Quigg, whereby he
might become associated with this
firm for the purpose Of general road
and bridge contracting. Messrs. Sea-
men and Quigg are now engaged on
a contract on state road No. 7, near
Easton, and Mr. Snow is so favorably
impressed with the work of these
men that a partnership is one of the
possibilities and that in that case Mr..
Snow will make his headquarters at
Wenatchee.

MINES ACTIVE IN
RED MOUNTAIN
is ENJOYING RUSH OF
OPERATIONS AND GOOD
STRIKES ARE REPORTED
CHEWAWA PUSHES WORK.

Mining operations in the Red
Mountain district are being rushed
along, as several good strikes are re-
ported and the companies interested
desire to open them up as soon as
possible.
The Chewawa Lead and Silver Min
ing company has several experienced
miners working on big tunnel and
the work will be kept up until they
have to shut down on account of lack
of water. The Chelan Consolidated
Copper company has made strike on
the same lead as the Chewawa, and
also has brought in several miners.
1t has tunnel 1900 feet into Red
mountain. At a perpendicular depth
of 1900 feet four-foot vein Of rich
high-grade ore has been cut and some
of the ore Is now on exhibition at the
A.-Y.-P. exposition.
The ore body for which the tunnel
is being driven lies from 1000 to
1900 feet beyond the recent strike.
and it is expected that this body will
prove to be a valuable vein. The
property was examined two years ago
by several eminent authorities on
mines, and their report was so flat
tering that the company is putting no
limit on the money spent for develop
ment. The property is owned prin-
cipally by New York parties and no
stock Is being sold.
Ray P. Davis and C. v. Mcdowell
have taken bond on what is known
as the Blinn property at Blewett and
expect to make paying proposition
out of the mine.
The Blinn property was developed
in the sos and $4,000 was spent
at that time in development. The
death of Colonel Blinn in 1885 put a
stop to the work, and since that time
the property has been tied up in the
settlement Of the estate.
TIL new proprietors also have TAX
en- lease on the Washington Meteor
property and they expect to take up
the work of developing both proper
ties.

During the past two weeks there

They have been attracted here from
the reports of the fine yield of the

The crop Of Winesaps throughout

quality and quantity than the aver

TRAINED NURSE LAW.

A bill has lately been introduced
at Harrisburg for the ostensible
purpose of protecting the public,
and the alleged need of such pro-
lection is urged as a reason for
passing such law. Such a meas
ure will increase the Importance of
the nurse in her own eyes and tend
to raise prices.
There are no reasons fer State
law for the registration of nurses
that would benefit anyone but the
nurses. My own experience has
been that nurses assume too much
in some instances. 1t has been
necessary for me to label medicines
falsely to guard the patient against
a nurse, who was determined to
give certain drug. l have been
frequently told how to do certain
things by nurses, which l foolishly
thought l knew how to do, having
had some experience in that line,
but nurse was fresh from another
place and was wise.
find in my practice that the
artisan, even though skilled, has
no right to get sick, as he cannot
afford it, for should he get S. per
day there is but SITS left each day
to buy food, fuel, light, pay other
help (Which he must have if he has
trained nurse), and what is left
can be used for medicines and the
/ physician.
The Columbia County Medical
Society passed resolutions Febru-
airy IL, 1907, and February 9th
1909 against the passage of any
such law, We need more nurses

tators.
do not wish to be understood
as against the trained nurse, but l
am heartily against the autocrat
nurse as we so frequently find her
today. She has abused the physi-
clan, who was the means of her
creation, and she is now about to
assume authority over the house
hold, and become supreme dictator.

On Monday Judge Lynch of Lu-

a special week of court, there be-

Judge Evans had been concerned d
as counsel, and therefore could not
sit at the trials.
The SO jurors summoned were
present, but as all the cases had
been settled by the parties, there
was no business for the court.
The cases were all damage suits,
and if they had been tried, it would
probably have consumed the week
and possibly longer.

POLICEMEN TRIED TO
DRUG A DEAD CAT

Fellow officers Of Patrolman Horace
Mcdaniel are having a god laugh at
his expense. Several days ago cat
was complained of. as being undesir-
able in a west side neighborhood and
McDannelrs partner ON the district shot
II without telling him. MCDANIEL in
the meantime went to a drug store
where he purchased chloroform and
cotton. Returning TO where tho cat
was lying in the yard, and as he
thought asleep. Mcdaniel made a
cone Of paper and placing the cotton
inside, saturated it with the drug. He
then carefully crept to where the cat
was laying and placed he cone over
he feline's head
The owner OF the premises laughed
and when Mcdaniel learned he had
been trying TO chloroform dead cat
he retreated. He is convinced that two
of the nine lives OF that cat are snuffed
out. anyway.
