"A terrible accident happened at
the Carl Olson home in Spirit Lake
township which resulted in the death
of Mrs. Olson by drownding Monday
afternoon. Mrs. Olson went to the
cistern near the barn to draw some
water and in some way slipped and
fell into the cisteru. The neck of the
cistern was six feet deep and there
was eight feet Of water. There was
no possible way by which she could
have saved herself, nothing in the
cistern by which she could have kept
her head above water, and no way by
which she could have climbed out.
Mr.. Olson's brother was in the house
and after a time he missed Mrs. Olson
and went to look for her out in the
yard or at the barn he concluded she
had gone to the home of a neighbor.
1t was at least two hours after she
left the house before it was discover.
ed she had fallen into the c~istern.
Mrs. Olson was a young woman and
to see her life cut short in such a
manner is particularly sad. The
bereaved husband and the relatives of
of Mrs. Olson have the deepest sym
patty Of all. The remains will be
taken to the old home in Wisconsin
for burial.

cid TO 90 SIS Across 20 Feet
of Ore.
SHOULD CREATE BOOM
Would Surely Set Them Wild in
Nevada.

The Elk City Mining News quotes
we'll known mining man who is
we'll posted in the ways of the mining
world, having passed through many
booms in the gold camps of the West,
as saying of the Center Star discovery
from which he had just returned:
''Why, it is the greatest gold dis
covery have ever seen. In Nevada
they'd build city in day on it, and
il would sell readily for big sum,
probably 500, 600. If mining boom
is to strike this district because of
some big, rich discovery, the recent
strike in the Center Star, on the Clear
water river, ought to start the boom. "
The point where the rich ore is ex-
posed is Is feet below the surface, in
the face of what is known as the lower
tunnel. The ore is on the foot wall,
the hanging wall not having been
reached. There is 20 to Is feet of
ore, which, it is said, will mill in the
neighborhood of SIS, clear across.
1t will take year, working as at
the present, to accomplish what the
owners have mapped out.
Many Visit Property:
Many prospectors, miners and min
ing men, number of them tranSients,
have visited the Center Star since the
strike was reported by this paper two
weeks ago, and practically everyone
seen by the Mining News man, states
that the Center Star is one of the
most promising gold prospects they
have seen, anywhere. Several min
ing men in the district looking for
property for their principals, are
negotiating the purchase of the Center
Star, and this paper has it from what
appears to be reliable authority that
Murphy, Brown and Tiedeman, the
owners, have been offered big sum,
IN cash, but that there are so many
bidders they are holding out for more
money. 1t is stated, too. that the
owners haye been offered machinery
Tor treating the ore, for an interest in
the property.

SOUTH FORK TRAIL PROGRESSING
Work Up to Date Inspected by Two of
the Trail Committee.

l.. M. Harris and son Basil got
home last Thursday from trip to
Elk City, returning in company with
A. 5. Johnson, of Newsome, over
the new South Fork trail MessrS.
Harris and Johnson are members of
the trail committee, and they inspected
the work SO far accomplished under
the two contracts, that of the Moses
brothers and Charles S. Smith. With
few exceptions the work is most sat-
isfactory, and any little defects dis
covered will be remed;ed before the
final joint inspection by the committee
and forest officials which will take
place about the 18th of this month.
The trail around Slate bluff, which
was built by the forest forces, is a
splendid piece of work, and the bridge
which they put in across the Clear
water is a substantial structure that will
last for years. Mr.. Smith is making
good progress for the time he has had
his crew at work, and states that he
will have his seven mile contract COM
pleted within the specified time.

Fifteen X. r. Surveyors Working
From White Bird South.
CREATES NEW INTEREST
Workmen Belong to the Pitts
bu urg & Gilmore Co.

The arrival in Grangeville on last
Thursday of an outfit of railroad sur
veyors with baggage bearing Pittsburg
& Gilmore R. R. markings, created
considerable excitement and specula-
ton in our city, and when the eight
men headed by their boss, l.. c."
Roberts, started for White Bird the
next morning, the speculations as to
the destination of the crew became a
confirmed fact. The first detach-
ment was followed by another the next
day, until fifteen men were assembled
at the camp on the A. Cooper ranch
three miles up the river and on the
opposite side from White Bird.
The m members of the corps entered
their names in any old manner on the
Grangeville Hotel register when they
came in, showing disposition to
mislead as to their intentions and dis
played shocking disregard for truth
when interrogated as to the purpose
of their visit to this section. Just
why such secrecy should be thought
necessary is hard to conceive IN view
of the great publicity which has been
given to the operations of the Pittsburg
g. Gilmore in the vicinity of Salmon
City and the generally accepted fact
that it is the company's intention TO
build down the Salmon river to this
section. The Oregon Short Line
surveyors, who have been operating
from the Pocatello country with the
purpose Of cutting in ahead of the p
& g., in its run down the Salmon
valley, might have some influence in
the matter.
The crew is allowing no grass to
grow under their feet since their ar
rival at White Bird, parties from that
section reporting that they had reached
the Robie ranch Monday, and that all
fifteen of the men were working al
most together. This would indicate
that there is some reason for the great
hurry up movement.

BUFFALO HUMP
LOOKING GOOD
Cracker Jack" Working Force
of Ten Men in Exceptionally
Rich Ore.

Charles Thompson returned Sunday
from two weeks outing with a party
in the Elk City and Buffalo Hump
country. MIR. Thompson says the
number of teams met on the road into
Elk and other mining sections, with
the great amount of freight and pas
senger traffic that is being carried on
reminds one of the old Buffalo Hump
boom days, which are held in the
memories of the old timers as the
greatest days this country ever wit
messed, when the woods and hills
were full of people and the merchants
could not supply the demand for their
wares OF course that stage has not
been reached yet by any means, but
the tendencies are strongly in that d.
rection at the present time and Mr..
Thompson says if Grangeville would
awaken ftom its sleep and get a good
wagon road into Elk City this town
would see such substantial business
growth as has not been dreamed of
by its most sanguine citizens.
Things are exceedingly lively in Elk
City and the entire mining district,
there is life and energy and snap in
the movements of the people that in
spires confidence in the outcome.
Mr. Thompson and party spent
most of their time in the Buffalo
Hump section and were shown
through the Cracker jack by
Observation-Disclosures Pra-
ther, who is the moving and animat-
ing spirit on that valuable piece of
property, the results of whose work
is becoming more apparent each day.
The Cracker Jack" is working ten
men and the ten stamp mill is kept
constantly at work on body of ore that
shows $50 and better values across
from four to six feet, and lesser values
on the. remaining "a feet. Mr..
Thompson says he was amazed al
what he saw, and he has no hesitancy
in saying that in lis judgment the Buff
falo Hump district will yet see the day
when it will be acknowledged as the
greatest mining country in the north
west At the present time the prod
ucts from the Cracker Jack" "
'Vesuvius'' and Big Buffalo wher
working would keep a hundred stamp
mill busy all the time. Mr.. Thomp-
son expects to return to the Hump
country in a few days.

HON. BURTON L. FRENCH OBJECTS
Suggestion of an Anti-Primary Election
Convention is an Impertinenc.

here have been many newspape rs
and private citizens throughout the
state who have recorded emphatic
kicks against the suggestion of a nomi-
mating convention prior to the holdino
OF the direct primary, for the purpose
OF centrallzing the vote," and re-
moving obstacles that might arise TO
interfere with harmonious action. bur
the open protest by such men as Hon
Burton l.. French who probably holds
as warm place in the hearts of the
people of the north part of Idaho to-
day as any other individual, will be
hailed with enthusiasm by those who
are opposed to such action. Mr..
French says:
| am unalterably opposed to such a
plan. This movement is backed bv
the enemies of direct primary in Idaho
and having lost in their fight against a
direct primary law, they now seek to
evade the law by holding convention
prior to the primaries. They seem
to be afraid of the rank and file of the
people. "
The Boise Statesman says 1T looks
that the movement of certain Repub-
lican politicians in Idaho to hold a
nominating convention before the
primaries is in effect one to defeat the
very object for which the primary law
was framed and enacted. This paper
does not know whether the movement
referred to is at all general but it is
free to say that the proposition is i'll
advised, and taken as a suggestion on
the part of the leaders, it is an i'm
pertinence.
