Walla Walla bakers are not alone in

(Communicated.)

This short, strong synopsis Of the
life of Mrs. Strowbridge and what she
las accomplished will not only be an
Inspiration to many others but shows
what a woman can do and what Il
woman will dare to do when it means
support and supply for herself and
those dependent upon her.
How many there are who weaken
and sink beneath the load of their re
sponsibilities and give way to despair
5ecause of existing conditions. Not
she. She not only saw the need of
going ahead. but recognized the pos
sibilites within herself and what she
was capable of doing, then went to
work and accomplished what she set
out to do in the face of all obstacles.
Her books are spoken of as having
strength and beauty. Does that not
how beauty and strength of char
,cter; does rot her portrayed OF the
human emotions, love, joy, sorrow and
espair show that her heart has 'ex-
perenced those same emotions; that
she can present them so forcibly, and
that it is experience and the desire
Cor the best, that has brought the best
within her?
In giving unselfshly her best to the
world and her loved ones, she has
brought good and success to herself,
\ royal crown that will never grow
dim, because of the good cheer and
love she reflects. Why should not she
veceive the praise and remuneration
she so richly deservesf Is it not the
fruit of earnest efforts
"There is no chance, on destiny, no
fate,
Can circumvent, or hinder, or control
The firm hesolye of a determined soul.
Gifts count for nothing: will alone is
great,
All things give way before it soon or
late.
What obstacle can stay the mighty
force,
Of the sea seeking river in its course
Or cause the ascending orb of day to
waltz
Let the fool prate of luck. The For
tunate
Is he whose earnest purpose: never
swerves,
Whose slightest action or inaction
Serves the one great aim. Why even
Death stands still and waits
An hour for such a will

Sheldons Business Philosopher con-

parents, she married and moved to the

her husband died and almost simutane.

bustling town, which at one time claim
ed Mark Twain as citizen, soon be
came deserted Today but few fami-
lies remain There is no saloon, no
store or hotel-only postoffice is left
to maintain its identity on the map.
The town is certainly dead, but the
mines are still there. Unionville has
peacefully slept for 20 years. Town
lots have been merged into acres upon
many of which orchards and patches of
alfalfa luxuriantly thrive. The few
families love their old homes and cling
to them. There is school and a few
children, but the men are mostly old
the younger ones having left for new
camps or distant cities.
Mark Twain as little shack is ye'
standing. Josiah Springer, one of the
pioneers of Unionville, related many
interesting stories of the early days of
the camp, in which Mark Twain apG
others figured, which will be published
III tHiS paper later
The Tribune wishes to carry the
glad tidings to the people of Unionville
and to those ranchers in the valley
thereabout, even unto Mill City, the
railroad station, that Unionville is to
arise into greater splendcr than ever.
The mines, that once supported Union
vile as a county seat and the mos;
orderly and generally prosperous caml,
in Nevada, are still there, with ore
enough in sight to rebuild and re-people
the town, and consume the produce or
the nearby ranches.
The new smelling process, which will
be adopted by the Nevada Swiss Smell
ers company, and installed at Union
vile, will have fair profit on reduc
ing the hitherto unknown ores of the
camp. To save every cent and reduc,
ae cost of reduction to the lowest pos
sible point the smelter will be place.
at the mine. The capacity of the
smelter, as now contemplated, is onc
unit, or SO tons per day, which ma
be changed to two units, or 100 tor.
per day. That means 100 tons per day
will be run through, producing re
fined, finished product, with no sui
sequent treatment such as cyanidine
ETC., which is slow and expensive
There is sufficient ore blocked out an,
in sight to keep 100 ton smelter run
ming for several months. There ar
other smelling ores tributary to Union
vile, that will be mentioned later on

STOCKMEN APPLY FOR

different classes of stock and their
conditions, and in every case the rec
concentrations of the advisory boards
are followed as far as the rights of

involved, will allow.
This cooperation is of value both
to the stockmen interested and to the
government. The stockman is affor d
ed an opportunity to work out his own
destiny; the government has the bene.
fit of his training and experience in
meeting the complicated situations
which arise in connection with its ad-

land. By this means tho division of
the range between cattle and sheep IS
conducted amicably, bringing about an
absence of i'll feeling and bitterness.

PROPOSE TO ERECT SHELTERS TO
treat ORE FROM HISTORIC OLD
HUMBOLDT COUNTY CAMPS
Representatives of Proposed Nevada-Swiss Smelling
Company visit the Humboldt Range and find that
Ores of every Camp offers Opportunities

A representative of the proposed Ne
vada-Swiss Smelters Co. spent last
week examining some Of the old mines
along the Humboldt range, looking up
smelling ores. He found the ores of
every camp visited could be reduced
more rapidly and economically by the
smelling process than otherwise. The
idle and crumbling mills, machinery
that cost fortunes, some Of it that is
at the mines but never set up, go 20
prove that the ordinary milling pro,
cesses cannot be proftably employed
on the low grade ores of this section.
The Humboldt range was made fam,
GUS by the Arizona and Rye Patch
mines. These mines are located near
the center Of the range, the Arizona
at Unionville on the east side and the
Rye Patch on the west side. Their
combined output in the past is estima..
ed at twelve to fifteen millions Of dol
lars, but the value of silver in those
days was double the present value.
A short distance north of Unionville
is the equally famous Sheba mine,
which was also the first mine discover
ed in the range. 1t produced over
three million dollars from one pocket.
1t is also notable about the Sheba that
perhaps no mine in the state can boast
of retaining the same manager and con-
sulting engineer continuously for more
than forty years. The late Joseph Or
)gan, father of Peter Organ, of Mill
City, came out from California and
took charge of the property in it's
early days. There are a dozen claims.
The Mammoth has large porphyry
dyke containing gold, but the ores are
smelling.
Unionville was famous old camp
forty years ago, and was the county
seat of Humboldt county. The Arizona
group is consolidation of seven
claims, which support the town. The
books of John C. Fall, the original
owner, showed product of about FIVE
and half million dollars up to the
time he shut down the mine and left.
Some very high grade silver ore was
mined and milled at Unionville, bur
it cost over $50 per ton to reduce II.
Sagebrush was used for fuel, which
alone cost more than $1O0 per day.
When silver defined, the mines were
shut down. The county seat was moved
to Winnemucca and the once lively,
