NIGHTHAWK NOTES.

The Harris minstrels, company of
mokes performing under canvass, gave
a show here last week. 1t was pro-
nounced not too bad.
Mrs. Will G. Jones and her son Earl
returned from Spokane Saturday. where
she went to have the lad 5 eyes treated.
Robert w. Weeks, Il well-known
resident of this vicinity, has been miss
ing since week ago Sunday, and it is
feared that he is drowned, or has wan
dered off in the hills and died of star
vation and exposure, and parties here
have been searching for some trace of
the man. Mr.. Weeks had been in poor
health and acting rather strangely for
some time.
Your correspondent recently visited
the Bertha and Earl group of claims
owned by Will c. Jones, of this place
This property is situated in the Mount
Chopaca and Simlkameen mining dis
trict, on the east spur of Little Mount
Chopaca, and opposite the NlghthaWk
and Favorite mines. He found force
of men at work stripping a good strong
well mineralized and well defined ledge
that will average in width the tulI
length of the claims about four ieet'
The strike of the ledge is west of north
and east of south. This ledge can be
traced for several miles, and on the
Bertha proper, where the greatest
amount of work has been done, in the
nature of shafts, open cuts and STRIP
ming. it has a dip of about 40 degrees.
Average samples will assay from Slo

property could not be better situated
for economical working, as the ledge
can be cut at II depth Of nearly looo
feet with 100 feet of tunnel 1t IS cal

INTO CHOICE ORE.

Chas. Il. Peterson, who has charge
of, and is conducting operations at, the
Rich Bar mine, a short distance west
of Oroville, was in town Saturday for
a few hours. Mr.. Peterson states that
he has cut through the ledge and it is
strong eight feet wide. The quartz,
especially on the hanging wall, is eX-
ceedingly well mineralized and has
every Indication of running into good
values. The cross-cut is on the 150-
foot level, and the exposure is such
that Mr.. Peterson is very much en-
couraged, and anticipates long con-
tinuation of work with an assurance of
profitable results. The Rich Bar mine
is directly on the railroad, indeed ow-
ing its existence to the construction of
the road, as in making a cut for grade
the vein that is now being opened up
at depth was exposed. The ground
was located on the strength of the eX-
posure. Should the time come when
the Rich Bar becomes Il producer of
ore of sufficient value to treat, the
question of transportation is already
settled, as the output could be loaded
directly from the workings upon the
cars. If that time ever arrives the
mine can be worked at "a minimum
cost and even comparatively low
grade of ore could be handled at fair
margin of profit.

er lode of an extensive mineralized
zone. Scores of assays have been made
on the ore by the best and most relia-
BILE assayes in the country, and the re-
turns given have run all the way from
$3.50 to $l49, the general average run
ming we'll into double figures. The ore
Is of silver-lead character, although
carrying small values in gold and cop
per. What the principal values will
run to as greater depth is attained is
merely matter of conjecture, but if
the ledge continues to hold out at its
present size with the present strong
combination of minerals it is good
enough for anv country.
1t Is the intention of the company.
when work starts up again, which will
be in short time, to sink a shaft di-
rectly on the ledge to depth of POO
feet, running drifts at the 100, $50 and
200 foot levels. That depth will be
sufficient to establish the continuity of
the ledge, and if it holds good at 200
feet, and it certainly will judging from
the formation, it will continue down
indefinitely. With development at the
200 foot level, on such an enormous ore
deposit, sufficient tonnage will be
blocked out to insure an output that
would require years to handle. The
proposition from almost any point of
view is one of the most inviting that
has yet been presented in this vicinity.
The mine will be provided with an
electric hoist and such equipment as is
necessary for economical and expedi-
tious progress in the work of sinking
and underground working.
There is nothing to conceal from the
public eye in the shaft and drifts at the
Number One. 1t is open to the world
for inspection The visitor is not
barred from the most thorough exam
ination, and the taking of samples is
not prohibited. There is nothing doubt
full or mysterious about the property.
The ore is there to be looked at for
any one who will take the trouble to
visit the mine and look. Indeed min
ers. investors or experts are cordially
invited to visit the Number One at any
time when any of the operators are
present, and pains will be taken to
show them all that there is to be seen.
No mine is mine in fact until it is
producing something for which val
liable consideration is received. but any
man having any knowledge of mining
whatsoever who will exam inc the Num-
ber One will come-to the conclusion
that If the Number One is not a mine
in embryo, and the making of a great
property, then thare is little use of
mining in that locality.

that no man can find out, it is the in
tention of the school trustees to have
the third year course taught in the
school While on the unpleasant sub
ject it may be stated that the board of
examiners from the Cheney Normal
that visited and inspected the local
high school last spring reported favor
ably and recommended that it be listed
as an accredited high school. Yet in
the face of the recommendation the
state board refused the application.
This looks exceedingly strange and
leaves the impression that the knocker
has been busy. But Oroville is going
to have the best school in the county
anyhow, and pupils from a distance
will find it to their interest to attend
during the next school year.

INCREASED RESPO ONSIBILITY

Our always genial and accommodate
ing local railroad agent, NJ. Costello,
sure has Il protest coming Besides
being required to attend to the multi
tudinous duties of the position he is
compelled to go to the postoffice
in the early morning for the
mail to go out on the $50. At that
time he should be selling tickets to the
crowd of passengers always on hand
ready for departure, but going after
and delivering the mail, and afterward,
with only few minutes to spare, he
has to check the baggage, consequent
ly tickes office cannot be opened and
passengers are compelled to pay on
the train. Monday morning there were
fifteen or twenty passengers outward
bound, and large quantity of baggage
to handle. This also is an injustice to
Oroville in the showing of the volume
of business transacted at this station.
For INSTANCE Last month, when the
duty of mail carrier was not placed
upon the shoulders of Mr., CASTILLO,
the receipts of this Office for tickets
ran up to $1,000, With no chance to
sell tickets the receipts will be cut
down to very small figure. Besides
this extra cart horse duty, not onorous
in performance beyond the inconven-
ience and annoyance to the travelling
public, is an imposition upon an en-
ploye acting in the important position

THE INTERSTATE FAIR.

While the big Seattle exposition
may overshadow all other attractions
in the way of local expositions and
fairs the people of eastern Washington
should not lose sight of the old relia-
BILE Forthcoming Spokane Interstate
Fair, which takes place this year from
September 20 to 25; inclusive. The
Spokane fair is an established institu-
tion that has become an attraction that
few who enjoy that e of entertain
ment care to miss, and what keeps up
it's popularity is it grows better from
year to year. Besides the diversified
and interesting exhibits, excellent
racing and other features common and
part of all fairs, there are always new
novelties in the entertainment line
that add zest to the general exposition.
The prizes and premium cover large
range of Objects and each year in
crease in value as an incentive to ex-
hibitors. The mineral department at
the Interstate Fair is always a marked
feature, and this year an effort is being
made to secure a fuller and more rep
resentation exhibit of ores and mineral
than ever before. The following letter
from Superintendent Armstrong should
be read by every miner or clam owner,
and every claim and mine owner should
send in sample of ore to swell the
collection and secure the advantage
of such a valuable means of advertis-
ing the country:
Spokane, Wash, July 81, 1909.
Dear sir:
While there is already abundant evi-
dence that we shall have the greatest
display of minerals at the Spokane In
terstate Fair next September that was
ever shown at the grounds it still re-
mains for number of districts and
many mines to be heard from. The
opportunity which will be afforded the
miners to have their exhibits examined
by several hundred of the most prom
inent mining engineers on this conti-
nent, or any other, should be all the
inducement required to call out dis
play from every mine in the northwest.
Will you not urge the miners of your
locality to get busy and get out the
best display possible, and if party
cannot be sent with the exhibits pack
them carefully at the proper time, of
which they will receive due notice, and
send them in with such maps, photos
and descriptions as will best advertise
the mines. The exhibits will be viewed
by 500 mining engineers and many
thousands of eastern people.
Very respectfully yours,
l.. K ARMSTRONG.
Superintendent Mineral Department.
