Idaho County Cattleman Meets
Death Through Fall.
DASHED TO TO ROCKY ROCKY CANYON CANYON
Skull Badly Crushed and
Death Soon Follows.

Butler Rape well known resident
OF this section, was killed suddenly
last Sunday afternoon by losing his
foothold on side hill and being pre-
clptated over a rocky cliff and to the
bottom of the canyon quarter Of
a mile below.
Mr.. Rape and his neighbor were
out Sunday rounding up cattle and
getting them in from the approaching
storm on the breaks of the Salmon,
in the country near the top of the
Whitebird grade. Rape had dis
mounted and was walking along the
edge of a rocky cliff when he lost his
foothold. Realizing the eminent
danger he cried to his companion:
"My God, | am gone" but nothing
could be done to save him.
His companion, who had to gain
the bottom of the canyon by a cir
cuitious route, found Rape in dying
condition. He made the sufferer as
comfortable as possible under the
conditions and hastened to the nearest
ranch from where DR.. Campbell Of
Grangeville was summoned.
When medical aid arrived the old
gentleman had expired, undoubtedly
he lived but short time as his skull
was terribly crushed and he had also
suffered internal injuries Of a serious
nature. The body was brought TO
the Bailor Undertaking Parlors Of
this city and is now being prepared
for burial tomorrow afternoon.
Mr.. Rape was born in Taylorsville,
L., and was IS years Of age. He
was resident of the Dayton WASH
region for number of years and
came from there to Camas prairie
in 1900. He is survived by four
sons, George and Walter Rape, who
own large farms near the place where
their father was killed; G. f. Rape
of Ahsahka and Edward Rape Of
Tacoma.

as above recited seem to show that
the Hartman people put in execution
their plan for immediate independent
construction into the Potlatch and
Clearwater district so soon as the
deal had been closed providing for di-
vision Of the territory served by the
prairie joint road. At least that
seems the logical Interpretation to be
made OF the situation, The lines as
planned would not only give the road
a share of the Clearwater business, but
through the North Coast, coming
from the north, would divide with the
Hill lines the business of the entire
Potlatch district, comprising both
grain and timber tonnage, the latter
steadily growing in volume through
the establishment of large mills.

$4,000 FIRE LOSS
Elk City Has Costly Conflag-
ration.
PHONE EXCHANGE DESTROYED
Parr Hotel and Lapp Store
Had Close Call.

The following news item from the
Elk City paper, tells Of the recent
fire in that camp which caused loss
Of between four and five thousand
dollars worth of business property.
"At 1:30 o'clock Monday morning,
fire was discovered in the store build
ing owned by Frank Hye in which he
had a news, confectionery and cigar
stand, and the telephone central office.
AT the time the alarm was given the
building was mass OF flames conse-
quently none of the contents were
saved.
The alarm was first given by Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Shissler, who lived
next door, and who were awakened by
the roar and cracking Of the fire. 1t
was only a few minutes before every
body was out, and the two chemicals
brought into play to save adjoining
property. The fire had gained such
headway that the heat had set fire to
the roof and sides of the building
occupied by the Shissler's and the ex-
press office, and every effort was now
made to get control Of this, for should
this building burn the o. G. Lapp
Co store would have been next to
60. How well the citizens succeeded
is shown by the skeleton Of the build
ing left standing, but how it was done
is another question.
1t had fortunately been raining and
showing for the proceeding "a hours
and everything was saturated with
water, and the fire made very little
headway, and almost no wind, but
what wind did blow, was driving the
flames towards the express Office and
Lapp's store, which made the situa-
ton extremely dangerous.
The Parr Hotel, across the street,
was badly scorched and nearly all the
windows were more or less cracked,
but there was no other damage DONE
Had it not been for the large water
tank at the Parr Hotel, and fact that
the gasoline pump was Immediately
started, it would have been impossible
to have fought fire to the advantage
that the people did, for besides re.
charging the chemicals, there was a
large bucket brigade which did yoe
man service.
Everybody did their best to KEEP
the fire from spreading and the fact
that they were SO successful causec
general good feeling.
The loss to Frank Hye will bt
felt very keenly. Besides being owner
of the building, he had quite stocl
of goods, a great many Christmas
things being stored in a back room
getting them ready for the holidays
The building was valued. at S2,50(
and the stock at S1,250, with an in
surance on the whole of $3.50

The loss to the telephone compan,
will be considerable, as this was th

loss, as the building was centrall,
located, and well adapted for a publ
station.
The loss to the Shissler house an,
express office is not over $3.50, but i
is quite considerable from the disa
greeable point of view.
The origin Of the fire is a mystery
as shere was no fire in the buildin,
after I o'clock in the evening. :.

his ranch in the Harpster section.

the same will begin shortly and
the cost of the house will be

Some of Wilson's friends have
stated that he intends establishing a

case, for $4,000 house would not
provide half enough room for the
gentlemen in that class.

sale. Before the necessary papers have
been signed up, the party will leave for
camp Cirac on IN inspection trip.
During the boom days of Goldfeld
the Cirac district was the scene of
great activity, and hundreds of pros
pectors and mining men were attract
ed to that camp by the reports of won
derful gold discoveries.
Mr.. Cirac made the first location in
the camp, and gave the district his
name. Under his direction the claims
were worked for three years, and high
grade gold ore was shipped from the
mines during the palmy days of south
ern Nevada. All the mines were closed
down at the time of the panic in 1907,
and the camp has been practically de-
serted for the last three years.

NEVADA-DOUGLAS IS
BEGINNING TO HUM

YERINGTON, May 2S.-That things
will be doing from this time on at the
property of the Nevada Douglas COM
pany is evident from the number of
extensive changes and new work con-
templated and planned for, and which
will begin at once.
Superintendent Samuel s.. Arentz
states that a new compressor plant will
be installed, a new transformer house
will be erected and an electric power
line run over to the Ludwig mine. A
new ore bin will be added to the one
now in use, doubling the present eapa-
city. The two bins will hold 700 tons
of ore.
A tramway line, 1000 feet in length,
will be put in, running from the top of
Douglas Hill to the railroad. The DIFF
ference in elevation between the top of
the hill and the end of the tramway at
the railroad is 600 feet.
The terminus of the Nevada Copper
Belt railroad is at the mouth of the in
cline shaft of the Ludwig mine, and it
can really be seen from the nature of
the improvements which will be made
in the near future, that the Nevada
Douglas company is figuring on using
every modern method for the rapid and
economic handling of it's ores.
In addition to the surface improve
ments above noted, the company con
templates extensive changes and much
expenditure of money underground.
Before fall at least DO men will be put
on development work. At the present
time the company has 625,000 tons of
ore, which will average 52 per cent
in copper, blocked out ready for ex-
traction. 1t is expected that this ton
mage will be doubled before the smelter
is blown in.
The Nevada Douglas company also
will begin at once the development
of it's gypsum beds so as to start ship
ments as soon as the railroad reaches
the mine.

BIG INTERESTS ARE AFTER
SOME PROPERTIES AT ELY

ELY, May 2S.-That there is yet to
be something done in the way of bring
ing in new copper mines is indicated
by the apparently authoritative report
that one of the large mining interests
of the country is negotiating for a
group of North Ely mines, which IN
cludes Ely Resurrection, Ely Calumet
and Mcdonald Ely. 1t is known that
one examination of the properties has
been made in the interest of the pros
pective purchasers, and that arrange
ments are being made for a more ex-
tended examination, with the view of
submitting to the owners a definite
offer.
The people who are negotiating for
this attractive group of mines are
strong enough to take advantage OF

the lull in demand for coppers, and
they are wise enough to realize that
the lull is likely to be not more last
ing than have been like depressions
in the past; they know that the time
to buy mines as well as stocks is when
prices are at bottom.
Ever since the correctness OF the
limestone overflow theory in relation
TO Ely district has been fully estab-
lished, the northern END, which has
the strongest surface showings of any
portion of the district, has been rec
ognized by mining men as the most
promising section of the camp for the
opening of big new mines.
