of geological conditions and improved
mining operations in country where
mining is carried on upon systematic
and economic plans, resulting in profit
to the operators and large additions to
the precious metal output of the Unit
ed States. 1t was pleasure to meet
and hold converse with man of Mr..
Walsh's wide experience and varied
knowledge, as any information received
from him is of weight and value. Like
all men who are.engaged to make such
specific reports upon observations and
information secured by personal in
spection of properties, he volunteered
no statement relative to the conclu
sions reached regarding the merits of
the property he came so far to see. and
respecting that reticence no questions
were asked as to his opinion of the
country. The writer feels, after meet
ing the gentleman, that he will make
only such report as existing conditions
justify, fair, uncolored, truthful. and
we hope it may be favorable, for in
that event the people who sent him in
will undoubtedly do extensive work
this summer

CAPTURED A BURGLAR
a Lively Sensation in a Town
Where Such Sensations
are Very Rare.
CLAIMS He IS DEAF AND DUMB
Supposed To Be An Old Offender
AS His Work Indicated
Experience.

y burglary occurred in one of the
rooms OF the Northern hotel, at Loom
IS, Wednesday night of last week, and
the burglar was safely locked up in
the jail at Conconully before o'clock
the following evening. The thief, who
poses as mute, gave the name of
James Mackay, and from intelligence
CLEANED 10y the prosecuting attorney
and sheriff during the progress of a
mild third degree examination, it is
believed that the man is wanted in
California for some crime committed
there.
The room entered in Loomis was one
of the apartments occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. a. II. Whitcher, and the burglar
left the place in Il state of great con-
fusion. Trunks and valises had been
ransacked. and their contents strewn
all over the room, the theft taking
such articles of value as could be con-
cealed in his pockets. While the in
trinsic value of the things taken was
not great they comprised keepsakes
that were beyond price. Entry was
effected by means of skeleton key.
The manner in which the trunks and
articles were handled indicated, at a
glance, that the person was not Il nov
ice at the game.
Having reason to believe that the
guilty party was a deaf and dumb man
who had spent the night in town,
Deputy Sheriff a. }. Gadbcrry, ac-
companicd by Mr.. Whtcher, took the
Nighthawk road and overlook the man
as he was in the act of trying to effect
an entrance in the residence of j. w.
Miller, near the Pinnacle mine. He
was searched on the spot and the great
cr part of the stolen property was
found on his person.
lie was ut once taken to Conconuily
and delivered to the sheriff In an
swcr TO questions he was very evasive,
bus stated, always in writing, that he
WAS II native Of Canada and a sign
writer by trade that he spent a num-
hcr of years in California and Oregon.
He had considerable begging literature
and well thumbed map of the county
in his pockets.
From statements of Conconully resi-
dents 1t appears that the man was in
that town before he came to Loomis
and that he did not pose as u mute but
conversed freely particularly wits one
of the saloon keepers.
Prosecuting Attorney Brown filed
an information direct against him and
his hearing on charge of burglary
took place Wednesday of this week.
AS he appears to fear that he will be
sent back to the Folsom state prison of
California, the county officers have
communicated with that institution
and are awaiting reply.

LIS ELY RUNAWAY.

y team of horses belonging to Andy
Johnston created a diversion and broke
up the monotony in town Monday morn
ing by framing up an exciting runa-
way. Mr.. Johnston was loading water
pipe. and while is occurred so sudden
ly that he does not exactly know how
it happened he is of the opinion that
Il length of pipe must have prodded
one of the animals in the rear. Any
how they got off as though Shot out of
a gun. Mr.. Johnston hung ON to the
lines for a time, but it commenced
raining iron pipe, and to escape the
deluge he relinquished his hold. The
wagon parted in the middle, and with
two wheels trailing in the rear the
horses passed out Of sight in fog Of
dust. They were stopped down in the
south part of town. and strange to say
the horses escaped without injury, and
the only damage done was the break
ing of the reach.

ri The Victoria Day celebration at

EWere the band and base ball club. A

sDained over until Tuesday. The Wis

The sports consisted chiefly of horse
Rkcing and base ball, and every event
E1s interesting. The races included
43owboy's race, with so many entries
et it had to be run in three sections

be greatest interest centered on the

& Especially the second contest which
as not decided until the last man was
s4pt. Both teams have been strength
ned and greatly improved by practice
lnce they met here few weeks ago,
mo hence the contests were of IA much
higher order. On the first day the
sore was 9 to 2 in favor of Oroville
This looks very one-sded, yet with the
Exception of two bad innings the Ker-
eheos boys were playing like profess
1lpnals. The Tuesday game was es-
81ecially exciting. Keremeos went to
at and made two runs. Oroville fol-
owed with three. From that time to
Ne end neither team could get man
cross the plate.
s2 The band was of material assistance

endangers the bridge, and provision
must be made to defend the piers
against this mutitudiuous battering
ram. Last year men had to be EN-
pIoyed night and day guarding the
bridge. Their duty was to ward of
the drift and prevent it from accumu-
lating. 1t is nearly time that some
such provision be made for this sea-
son. The people of Oroyillc cannot af-
ford to have the bridge 60 Gu. 10
say nothing of the loss in the value of
the structure such Il disaster would cut
off much travel into the town. Be
sides 1t would be almost impossible to
replace the bridge. our citizens have
not the means to build another, and
the older residents will remember how
difficult it was to induce the commits
sioners to aid in the building of the
present one. 1t would be harder to
secure aid at the present time. Hence
the necessity of protecting the present
bridge is imperative. Its destruction
would be a calamity. Let the people
arrange early to ward of the calamity.

Quite concourse of people was en-
tertained 10y a tiotic encounter on Main
street Saturday afternoon. 1t was not
50 much a listic exhibition as catch
as-catch can match. There was more
OF war of words than actual hostjli-
ties. and little damage was done. Such
scenes are neither eNaulting. or credit
able. and should be discouraged 10y the
public.

GOES upon THE GROUND.

Judge +. w. Taylor arrived in Oro-
willie Sunday evening, and Monday
morning drove down to Antoine creek
to personally inspect Il water right,
over which there was bitter contest
in his court last week. From the evil
dence before him the judge could not
determine exactly whether the water
claimed by the two contestants flowed
up or down hill, and he was going up
ON the premises to satisfy himself.
The evidence offered was conflicting,
yet the witnesses were undoubtedly
honest giving in their evidence, and
thought they were swearing to facts,
for when the Judge expressed his de-
termination to 90 upon the ground and
satirfy himself both sides expressed
perfect satisfaction, and urged him to
do 50! hcing willing to abide 10y the
results OF an investigation. The Judge
evidently wanted to be strictly fair in
making his decision, hence the long,
hard trip that he decided on taking.

HELP ALONG y GOOD THING.

The local creamery made it's first run
this week. The output was small, but
trSt-class. The amount of finished pro-
duct the creamery can turn out is reg
ulated by the amount of raw material
furnished. 1t is up to the farmers and
cattle owners to furnish the latter. Mr..
Friis, the manager, will do the rest.
Before creamery was constructed
here, everybody. including COW owners,
wildly demanded the Immediate install
lation of Il plant, believing it would
fill u long felt want. After the funds
were raised and the creamery CON
structcd and equipped, enthusiasm
seemed to evapOrate. If there was Il
demand for a creamery before the in
stltution existed there certainly must
be demand for it now. If those who
had cream to dispose of were honest in
their demand for Il creamery they
would spare no trouble now to supply
that institution with the ingredients

creamery is no object of charity. 1t is
plain business proposition. II offers
market for cream, and the manager
is ready to pay the market price. 1t
can be made Il source of income to the
family having cows, and its continual
operation will be Il good thing for the
town and surrounding country. Mr..
t'riis has donc'hs part. He received
considerable encouragement when he
came here and offered to open and run
the plant. He has displayed great
deal of patience, for the promises made
to him have not been fulfilled. If those
who have cream to dispose of wish the
creamery to continue they must show
a disposition TO aid the venture by sup
plying the cream. Let more interest
be displayed in this matter, and more
Jealous effort shown in helping it to
succeed.
