ON THEIR OWN HOOK.

Donald Taylor, who in conjunction
with E. Buxton is arranging to treat
by reduction large quantity of ore
from the Nighthawk neighborhood,
spent a day or two in Oroville during
the past week. These gentlemen did
not come into the county with clash
ing of cymbals and loud acclaims as to
their objects and purposes. They are
practical mining men, and came to in
vestigate with the object of entering
upon business proposition if the field
justified investment. They asked no
local aid, were selling no stock, were
working on no outside capital. They
are simply independent free lances,
looking out for a chance to invest mon
ey, and willing to risk their own cash.
If the outlook proved favorable. They
are not acting on superficial examina-
tion, as they have spent months on the
ground looking over and sampling a
great many claims and spending sew
eral hundred dollars for assays alone.
They are satisfied that if properly
treated the ores obtainable will yield
a handsome profit, and have arranged
to put in reduction works, their aim
being to concentrate the ore and smelt
the concentrates. The best freight
rates they can secure are 5000 car to
Tacoma, and they feel that it would
be more sensible to save such heavy
drain by the erection of a smelter near
the base of supply. An effort will be
made to interest local mining men in
the proposition.

JUDGE ERNEST PECK
Passes Away at Spokane After
An Illness of Onty
Two Days.
TERRIBLE SHOCK TO FRIENDS
The Funeral at Chesaw One of
the Largest Ever Held IN
This County.

Early in November Judge J. D..
Hinkle. of Spokane, was assigned to
preside over term of court at Con-
conully, taking the place of Judge
Ernest Peck, who was disqualified from
acting as he had been interested as an
attorney in some of the cases on the
docket. While Judge Hinkle was pre-
siding in Conconully Judge Peck was
sent to Spokane to take charge of the
court temporarily vacated by Judge
Hinkle. Early last week Judge Peck
was not feeling we'll, but he attributed
it to cold. Last Thursday evening
he was in the court room in the per.
formance of his duties. During the
night he was taken violently i'll, and
Friday morning was removed to the
Sacred Heart hospital. Everything
within the power of medical skill was
done for him, but he sank rapidly and
died Saturday morning. The cause of
death was pneumonia.
Judge Peck was born in Portchester,
N. Y, August Is, 1874, and hence
his age was 36 years, 3 months and l6
days at the time of death. He gradual

NEW TOWN OFFICIALS
A Close Race for Every Office
and a Narrow Lead for
the Winners.
A0N0RS BREAK ABOUT EVEN
Between the Candidates Named
on the Citizens and
Peoples Tickets.

The municipal election Tuesday
passed off quietly, although there was
an intense under current of feeling,
and the backers of the two candidates
for mayor worked with active energy
up to the hour of closing the polls.
The supporters of both Mr. Reese and
Mr.. Davis did close figuring, those of
the former being a trihe the best
mathematicians, and the more astute
workers. The fight was concentrated
on the head of the tickets, and there
did not seem to be any work done for
the balance of the candidates. There
were two tickets in the field, the Citi-
zens' and Peoples, and judging from
the closeness of vote the candidates are
all popular citizens. 1t made little diff
ference, anyhow, as to who was elected
as the affairs of the town would be
conducted in manner to reflect credit
upon those responsible for the admin
istration, and along lines that will con-
duce to the best interests of the place.
Only 126 votes were cast and were di-
vided up as follows:

with a most creditable record, and was
for time in the office of his brother,
very able attorney, in New York
city. Some twelve years ago he came
west to Seattle. He made trip to
Skagway, Alaska, remaining in the
north only short time, returning to
Seattle. From Seattle he went to
Wenatchee, but finding the town well
supplied with lawyers, and learning
of quite mining excitement in north
ern Okanogan, decided to cast his for
tune in this county. He located in
Chesaw in 1899, living there some six
years, whens he moved to Oroville,
where he continued to reside until
very recently. On Christmas day de-
cember 25,) 1902, he was united in
marriage to Miss Stella Smalley, OF
Chesaw, daughter of the late Hon.
M. A. Smalley, and daughter six
years of age is the fruit of that union.
Judge Peck took an active part in
political and public affairs in the coun-
ty, was widely known and universally
respected. He had built up quite a
large practice, and last spring formed
a partnership with E. Fitzgerald. AT

Parties Largely Interested in
Mines Working to
That End.
lR0VLLE THE LOGICAL POINT
As Il Is the Center of a LARGE
Mining District Containing
Much Smelling Ore.

The Buxton-Taylor company, whose
members have been in the vicinity for
Tie past four months examining and
mmpling the mines between Oroville
md Nighthawk with view to the To-
cation Of reduction works, have
closed contracts with w. G. Jones and
Joseph Linton for the lease of the Ber-
tho and Pioneer mines, and are under
eoutract to take out from each mine
10000 tons of ore. According to as
isys from large samples taken and con-
eentrated the ore runs from SIS to $22
ton across the entire ledge, and is a
silver-lead proposition. In giving his
opinion as to the possibility of saving
the values by reduction Mr.. Taylor
nys that for concentration purposes
the ordinary stamp mill is, and always
will be, a failure in ores of this kind,
but advocates the use of crushers,
pulverizers, jigs, vanners and slime
tables, and claims that there is no diff
6cnlty in saving the finest shines as he
has ascertained by actual tests. Mr..
Buxton is now at Portland arranging
tor the shipping of the machinery. 1t
y understood that an effort is being
made to place stock for the erection of
small smelter in connection with the
reduction works and if the effort is
successful employment will be given

the logical center for such an enter
prise and those pushing the matter are
very favorably inclined towards this

1t seems that the town marshalship
was the bone of contention in the re-
cent election, and the opposition to Mr..
Davis, in certain quarters, was not so
much love for Mr.. Reese as hatred of
the present marshal. All of which
was rather singular in the face of the
fact that Mr.. Davis made no promises

RAINS SAVE RAINY RIVER
Downpour Checks Fires Threatening
Canadian Town.


Winnipeg, July 24.-The latest re-
port made to the Canadian Northern
railroad officials from the Rainy River
fire threatened district is that strong
southeast wind is. blowing the fire
away from the town. It is also rain
ing quite hard. The people of the
town now believe that all danger is
past.
Nearly 1000 feet of hose was dis
patched by express to Rainy River
and all the available engines of the
Canadian Northern railroad were sent
to be ready in case the rolling stock
of the railway should have to be
moved.
To the north of Devlin and Crozier
the flames cut a wide swath and hard
ly a stick of green timber can be seen.
The loss will be heavy both to the set
tiers and to the government. It is
certainly the worst calamity in years
and large number of settlers will be
homeless and almost penniless.

RAINY RIVER APPEARS SAFE
Ontario Town May Escape Destruc-
ton, but Loss in That Vicinity
Is Very Heavy.

Portland, Ore, July 24.-Showers
during the past ffty-six hours have
done much to check the disastrous
progress of the great forest fires which
have been sweeping through the for
ests of the Pacific Northwest and Brit
lsh Columbia. Despite the downpour,
however, several big fires continue to
burn in Idaho and British Columbia
and few smaller ones in Montana,
Washington, Idaho and Oregon.
"A conservative estimate made by
men conversant with the situation
places the damage at S4,5OO,O00, with
strong possibility that it will go
higher when full reports are made
Some lumbermen state the damage
will reach S6,OO0,O00.
The devastation wrought by the
fires during the past week has been
terrific. Two towns, Whitewater and
Ryan, Wash, were wiped off the map
Thirteen persons, including a woman
and child, were burned to death
More than 400 persons lost their
homes and stretches of country once
heavily covered with millions of feet
of choice timber have been converted
into desolate waste Of smoking
