Will Soon Reach Metaline Falls

The new bridge of the Idaho & Wash
ington Northern across the Pend Oreille
river at the lower end of Box Canyon
will be completed the coming week. The
bridge is of the cantilever type, one of
the few in the Northwest of that char
acter. The rails are the highest part of
the structure. the trusses and supports
being below. Height of the rails above
low water is 146 feet.
With the completion of the bridge
tracklaying from that point to Metaline
Falls, about seven miles, will be started.
Some delay will be encountered while
awaiting the completion of wooden
trestle 1000 feet long and about 100 feet
high. The tunnels on the new line are
completed. The one at Vaile's is the
longest, being $50 feet in length.
Estimates on the time for reaching
Metaline Falls with the steel vary from
Oct. Is to Nov. l.

SETTLERS MAY SAVE TIMBER
How to Get Permission From
Land Office.
Boon to Burned Out Settlers.

In order to give homesteaders IN the
burned districts a chance to save their
timber, the United States General Land
Office will stretch point, and after IN
spection grant permits for the removal
of this timber before it becomes total
loss. Under ordinary conditions settlers
on timbered lands are not permitted to
cut and remove more than working
quantity of the timber before their en-
tries are perfected and they are given
clear title to the land.
The recent fires having killed so much
of the timber in this territory an appeal
has been made to L. l.. Sharp. Of Port
land, Oregon, chief of the Field Division
who has taken the matter up with the
General Land Office at Washington, D.
c. Mr.. Sharp has written the following
letter. which instructs settlers on the
method of procedure necessary to get a
permit to remove their burned timber:
1.-THE commissioner of the General
Land Office has by recent instructions
authorized the cutting and removal of
timber which has been killed by the re-
cent forest fires upon unprotected home
stead entries, where the entries have
been made in good faith and the claim
ants are making bona fide compliance
with the requirements of the homestead
law and intend to complete the entries
and acquire the land as home,
II have instructions that parties who
desire to cut and remove such timber
from the homesteads should submit an
application to me, in which they give a
complete description of the entry, the
amount of timber killed by the fires
which thev desire to cut. I shall, as
soon as special agent is available, de-
tail him to the duty of making the in
vestigation, and as soon as his
report is received er-
NIT will be granted, if it is found
that the homesteader comes within the
above class, and that the timber he de-
sires to cut has been killed or perma-
nently injured by the fires.

that the government will issue permits

Badly Hurt by Powder Explosion

R. A. Marsh, of Cusick, was badly in
jured Monday by the premature explo-
sion of charge of powder. He was en-
gagged in digging we'll at the cement
school house west of Cusick and was
using steel crowbar to tamp the pow
der home, and evidently spark caused
by contact of the crowbar with a stone
caused the explosion.
Mr.. Marsh was terribly injured by the
explosion. his face, hands and body be-
ing perforated in hundreds of places
with gravel. He was being assisted in
the work of digging the we'll by young
boy, who was hauling out the buckets
loaded with earth. The boy was unable
to pull Mr.. Marsh out after the explo-
sion and went for help. Mr.. Marsh,
finding the fumes from the explosion to
be about to overcome lhim, came out of
the we'll hand over hand on the rope,
although his hands were terribly lacer-
ated. Practically all the clothes were
blown or burned from his body except
a portion of his trousers. Strange to re-
late, box of caps in his hip pocket was
not exploded.
DR.. Phillips, of Fewport, was sum
moned to render first medical assistance
and later the injured man was taken to
a Spokane hospital to receive attention.
1t is almost certain that he will lose his
eyesight, a severe aff1iction for a man
with a family.

ARE PREPARING FOR EXHIBIT
Will Be Displayed In New Martin
Building.
Dicker and Sale Day Saturday

Arrangements for Dicker and Sale
Day, under the auspices of the CONNER
cial Club, are being completed. The
new Martin hotel building has been Sc
cured in which to make the display, the
large store room on the ground floor be-
ing used for that purpose.
Considerable interest in the event has
been aroused and good display of pro-
ducts of this section IS looked for. The
people of this section are urged to bring
in their products for exhibition. and
those who are not in position to make
exhibits are invited to come and see the
display. The room will be open for
few hours Saturday evening to enable
town people to see 1t.
Several new prizes have been offered
during the past week. Among the new
ones is that of r. S. Anderson offering
prize of 81 for the best five pounds of
butter and agreeing to buy the butter at
market price. The Commercial Hotel
offers $3.50 cash for the best display of
tomatoes. The entire list of prizes Of
fered is on display in the window of the
Newport Furniture Co. and foots up to
considerable value.
It is the hope of the promoters, the
Newport Commercial Club and the busi-
ness men of the town, that this exhibit
can be made an annual event and in
time lead to county fair and show of
the resources of the Pend Orellle valley
country. The cooperation of the ranch
ers is solicited and necessary to make
event success. It cannot fail to be Of
benefit to the whole country, will lead
to a better knowledge of its possibilities,
awaken interest in agriculture and tend
toward higher values.
Rev. F. E. Whitman, Otto Ernst and
Supt. Lindsay will judge the exhibits
and make awards. All exhibits must
be in place by noon and the judging will
start at that time.
In addition to the prizes offered for
the best displays. Newport business men
are making special inducements for
business on that day and invite visit
from the people of this section. New

DOWN RIVER DEVELOPMENT
Country is Forging Ahead With
Great Rapidity.
Conditions Continually Changing

A frequent trip through the down
river country is necessity to one who
endeavors to keep in touch with the
constant march of improvement and de-
velopment. On every hand are seen
evidences Of this progress, not only in
the towns, but also in the country is the
spirit active and every rancher seems to
be doing something to bring his land
under cultivation.
At Dalkena preparations are being
made to start work on the rebuilding of
the sawmill. The new plant will be
modern and complete and will have a
capacity of 10000 feet every ten hours.
The plant is expected to be in operation
by Feb. and two shifts will be oper-
ated.
Between Dalkena and Newport owners
of lands burned over by the big forest
fire are bending every energy to take
advantage of the fire toward the clearing
Of their lands.
Usk business men are looking forward
to the establishment of large brick and
tile plant, samples of CLAW from land ad-
joining the town site having been tested
and found high class for that purpose.
Cusick is the scene of activity through
the operations of the M. A. Phelps
Lumber Co. The company has the
ground cleared for the erection of mill
with a capacity of $4,000 feet in ten
hours. This week spur track from the
l. & w. N. main line is being built to
serve the mill. and construction work
will start as soon as material can be un-
loaded from the new spur. The town is
also doing some quiet work in the build
ing and improving line. Jones & Ones
rud, owners of the property just south
of town along the river front, have plat
ted four acres of their land and placed it
on the market in town lots.
The diking of the Calispel valley will
make great change in its productive
powers, and the time will come when its
large areas of land will be cut up into
smaller tracts and made to produce
more abundantly through more inten-
sive farming. BY next spring the whole
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1910-09-29

valley will be protected from overflow
by the three diking district projects, two
of which are already completed and the
third about to begin building.
The 1. & w. N. is putting in frequent
spurs that enable the ranchers to get off
their wood, poles and shingle bolts, saw
ing the ranchers the long haul to sta
tions and enabling them to handle these
products with profit. All along the line
from Newport to lone these spurs are
being put in and surprising tonnage is
being delivered to the railroad.
lone, having witnessed the compile
tion of the railroad and the sawmill and
the latter being placed in active opera
ton, the town is now adjusting itself to
new conditions. The business men real
ize the need of good roads to extend
their trade territory, and are planning
to spend money in building roads into
country now tributary to Colville and
Northport. A ferry to connect with the
Sullivan trail country on the east side of
the river is also planned.
The old town of Metaline is also maxi
ing some improvement record this year
mostly in the building of new homes.
Quite volume of business is transacted
at this point, it being the headquarters
for the prospectors and settlers residing
in the unsurveyed territory. The Oriole
mine, a mile and half west, is operat-
ing double shift of men. and with it's
new power equipment is making good
progt ess in sinking shaft. The show.
ing of tho Oriole is such as to bring
nearer to realization the dream of being
a mining center. which for years has
buoyed up the hopes of the little mining
town and its residents. On the Clark
property, on the west side of Metaline
Falls, Larsen & Jensen are working a
crew of men with encouraging showings.
The new town of Metaline Falls is un-
| dergoing the transformation of a wilder
ness into modern town. About 40U
men are employed in the construction o1
the power plBnt and cement plant build
| ings and the railroad. The road will
reach Metaline Falls about Nov. l, and
from that time on Metaline Falls and ite
big industry will move on apace. The
| magnitude of the cement company's op.
| erations must be seen to be realized. It
will play big part in the development,
| of Eastern Stevens county.
| The Mammoth and Morning mine
just north of Metaline Falls, is install
ing power plant and will shortly re-
sumo operations. It is reported that
the company has raised $35, 900 to be
expended in development work.
Metaline Falls has been assured of q
school%district and new voting precinct
has been allowed by the board of county
commissioners.

Mining Congress at Los Angeles.
Supervisor of Census.

Through the efforts of the Sierra Madre Club, the first social mining club in the United States, the 1910 convention of the American Mining Congress will be held in Los An geles, beginning September 26 and continuing through the week end ing October 1. The club has al- ready guaranteed the sum of $l0,- GOO, half of which is to be applied to furtherance of the legislative program in Washington, and will now endeavor to increase the entire fund to $25,000. The supervision of the convention will be in the hands of an Advisory Board, in- cluding representation from all public bodies in Los Angeles and every important mining and oil town in Southern California, Ari. zona and Nevada, while the details will be in charge of an Executive Committee of three, with Sidney Norman acting as managing direc- tor. The latter expects to visit every mining camp and oil.produc- ing district in the Southwest before the meeting convenes.
 Every effort will be made to in- sure the greatest convention in the history of the Congress and with that idea in view excursions will be organized to surrounding dis. tricts after the business of the con. vention has been completed. De. tails are not yet arranged, but it i: certain that large excursion will be taken to the oil fields of the Sar Joaquin Valley.and to certain cop per centers in Arizona.
