BACK FROM SPOKANE.

Il. Il. Hargrove came in Tuesday
evening from Spokane, where he had
been for fortnight in the interest of
his mining property, located near Con-
connlly. He has reasons to feel salts
fled that he has interested parties in
the mine to the extent that he will
have sufficient capital very soon to
thoroughly open up the ore bodies.
The claims are in an advanced stage of
development, and if the turn is made
that's now in sight Mr.. Hargrove will
be in a position to carry out the plans
h9 has long had in contemplation, that
of extending the lower working tunnel
to reach the ore bodies at great depth.

ing out the suggestion depth would
be gained that would reach below the
bottom of the Similkameen river, giv-
ing large drifting and Stopping aera.
just what system the company will fol-
low in future underground develop
ment is not known. Besides the ledge
now being drawn upon for mill sup.
ply of ore the tunnel in its progress
has cut other veins that may show up
well when drifted upon. Then there
are some very large and rich cropping
lodges still beyond the present breast
of the tunnel, which were really the
objective point when the tunnel was
started, and the big hole may be
pushed on TO intersect those ore bodies.
From all indications, both in the
matter of equipment and exploitation.
the Nighthawk mine is now in po-
sition where returns can be looked for.
After many years, during which at
times progress has been slow, and al
most entirely suspended the property
is in a position to demand notice. 1t
has been grueling experience for
Henry d. James, upon whose shoulders
the burden of providing funds has
largely fallen. but now he can see an
end TO all his troubles. The hardest
stage of mine making has passed, and
if the ore holds out the trials and trib-
ulations of the company should be over.
If the Nighthawk can be made self
sustaining for the present, dividends
follow in the near future, and if that
happy stage is once reached new life
will De given to mining in Okanogan
county.

THE STAMPS DROPPING
A Pleasing Activity Prevailing
Over at the Night
hawk Mine.
ALMOST A REGULAR PRODUCER
Turning Out a Good Grade of
Concentrates, With a Large
Ore Reserve in Sight.

While passing through Nighthawk
Monday we were attracted by the mo-
notOnous conclusion that accompanies
the rise and fall of stamps, and having
few minutes spare time dropped into
the stamp mill of the Nighthawk Min
ing company, which has been in steady
operation for several weeks. The mill
is large and well constructed build
ing Immediately under the mouth of
the working tunnel. 1t is supplied
with the most modern machinery in
use for concentrating ores, and is
operated by electric power. The wa
ter necessary for operation flows from
the tunnel, and the supply is only suf-
hcient for ten of the twenty stamps.
The machinery works with perfect
smOothness, and the per centage of loss
in the tailings is very small. The loss
occurs thr, II sh shining, there being no
slime treatment tanks in use. This

deficiency will be remedied in time,
and then the wastage will be reduced
to minimum. Dave Ionic, who has
the milling system down to a science,
is in charge of the mill, and the close
results are due to his skillful manage
ment. There are four Wiley tables
in the mill, only two, fed by ten
stamps, were in use at the time of the
visit. The mill is very conveniently
located, as the ore is delivered directly
from the mine to the bin. The ore is
fed to the stamps automatically. The
ore concentrates freely and the amount
treated daily is considerable. The
value of the concentrates is not made
public, but even with very low grade
of ore the mill can be made to pay.
The present run is largely in the ma
ture of thorough test, and the show
ing must be highly satisfactory to the
company, as no plant could possibly do
better work, and there is little room
for criticism over the amount of con-
centrates turned out. The company
should be able to pay for all further
developments with the revenue derived
from the concentrates.
j. Z. Gormley, uperintendent of the
mine, has the thanks of the writer for
courtesies extended. Unfortunately
time was limited and there was no op-
portunity to examine the under ground
workings. The tunnel is now in some
100 feet, and as straight as gun bar
rel. The drills are operated by cleo
tricity, and the tunnel is lit up by the
same means. At the present time II
force of men is stopping ore on the big
ledge cut some months ago The ore
is improving as work progresses, and
seme specimens exhibited were really
of a superior grade, and if there is
much of it the concentrates will swell
in value. Only one drill is being used
at present, which is hardly sufficient
to keep up supply for the mill. MIR.
Gormley favors the sinking of a Wine
on the lodge to the depth of a couple
of hundred feet. As the workrnen
would be constantly in ore there would
be no shortage of material for the mill
to work on while sinking BY follow

CONCERT TUESDAY NIGHT.

1t has been some time since Oroville
was last visited by travelling troupe,
and never in the past has one given an
entertainment here that would equal
what may be expected from the Will
liams' Jubilee Singers, billed to occu-
py Sigrist hall next Tuesday evening.
1t is a colored organization that has
given concerts in the largest cities and
before critical audiences, and every
wnere and on all occasions it has given
the utmost satisfaction. Each member
of the company is an artist, and those
who enjoy music cannot afford to miss
this rare treat,

Besides all this, Oroville may be
classed as summer resort, Lake Oso-
yoos afording ample entertainment
for pleasure seekers, there being boats
of all kinds available, and splendid
camping sites are numerous along its
shores. The beach, being sand and
almost level, affords many ideal spots
for the pastime of swimming and bath
ing, while the sportsman will find fish
in the lake and game in abundance
among the surrounding hills.
And now let us speak of the public
school system at Oroville, since this
will be of great interest to the home
seeker. The public schools of Wash
ington are second to none in the Union
and the Oroville school is one of the
best under this admirable system. Not
only are the branches of the first eight
grades of the common schools taught
but all branches of the high school as
we'll. The city having recently added
to the school building, it now affords
ample room and is on the whole a well
equipped school.
The town of Oroville is a pleasant
place for a home, it having all the
modern conveniences of CITY, The
city water system gives excellent SER
vice and general satisfaction. The
supply being unlimited furnishes an
abundance of water for all purposes,
and in conjunction with we'll equip
ped fire department., gives protection
from fire. The Smilkameen Power
company, from its big plant at the
falls, furnishes the city with an elec-
trio lighting system that is perfect in
every detail, and has an almost unlim-
tied quantity of cheap power for sale
for manufacturing purposes, a condi-
tiOn that is a decided advantage to any
town. The business houses are of the
best, carrying large stocks of all lines
merchandise. The banks have large
capital and are important factors in
the towns advancement, taking an
active interest in everything that tends
to further the interests of the commu-
nifty. Property is rapidly increasing
in value and the business openings are
of the best. There are Openings for
all, but of course the best chances will
be taken first, SO now is the best op-
pOrtunity for the homeseeker. The
man who is looking for home will
find that he will get the best for his
money, the surest prospect OF an i'm
mediate and continual advance in the
value of his property as well as in
crease in business, the most pleasant
and healthful climate for home and
in fact, the best of all good things, at
Oroville.

tage of the opportunities of a practi-
cally new country, and one that is

SONGS IN THE NIGHT.

Very many of the sweetest joys of
Christian hearts are songs which
have been learned in the bitterness
of trial. 1t is said of a little bird
that he will never learn to sing the
song his master will have him to
sing while it is light in his cage. He
learns snatch of every song he
hears, but will not learn a full separate
melody of his own. And the master
covers the cage and makes it dark
all about the bird, and then he listens
and learns the one song that is
taught him, until his heart is full OF
it. Then ever after, he sings the
song in the light. With many of us
it is as with the bird The Master
has song he wants to teach us, but
We learn only strain of it, note
here and there, while We catch up
snatcheS Of the worlds song and sing
them with it, Then He comes and
makes it dark about US, till we learn
the sweet melody He would teach US
Many of the loveliest songs of peace
and trust sung by Gods children in
the world have been taught in the
darkeneo chamber of sorrow.

WHAT WOMEN DO INSTINCTIVELY.

A man cannot do two things at
time. A woman will broil steak
and see that the coffee does not boil
over, and watch the cat that she does
not steal the remnant of meat on the
kitchen table, and see to the toast,
and stir the oatmeal, and give the
orders to the butcher, and she can
do 1T all at once and not half try.
Man has done wonders since he came
before the public. He has navigated
the ocean, he has penetrated the
mysteries of the starry heavens, he
has harnessed the lightning and
made it pull street cars and light the
great cities of the world. But ne
can't find a spool of red thread in his
wife's work basket; he can't discoy-
er her pocket in a dress hanging in y
closet; he can't hang out clothes and
get them on the line right side up.
He cannot hold clothespins in his
mouth while he is doing it, either.
He cannot be polite to somebody he
hates. He cannot sit in a rocking
chair without banging the rockers
into the baseboards. He cannot put
the tidy on the sofa pillow right side
out. He cannot sew on a button.
In short, he cannot do d hundred
things that women do almost in
stictlvely, j
