King Mill Starts Saving

The new sawmill of the King Sash,
Door & Lumber Co.. to replace the one
DESTROYED by fire last summer, started
operations last week, saving the first
board on the 9Th. The mill is running
in good shape and has sawed as much as
10000 feet in ten-hour shift. With an
increase in boiler power the mill will
cut from fifty to sixty thousand.
This seasons cut will run up to about
FIVE million feet. They now have about
a million and a half feet of logs banked
at the mill, and as soon as the ground
dries up logging operations will be re-
sumed.

CONQUEST VALUES RUN HIGH
Character of Ore Permits Saving
Of Values.
In Hands Of Experienced Man.

The recent'big strike in the Conquest
mine, located about eight miles north of
Newport, is attracting considerable at
tention. Mining men of this section
who have visited the property since the
strike was made are confident of it's
worth, and that the mine is now in
fair way to be pushed to full develop
ment
A mining writer in the Spokane In
land Herald has the following:
While the quality of the big ledge
struck recently in the Conquest mine of
the Newport district differs little from
that of ore developed elsewhere in the
property, there has been a change of
metallic distribution that is expected to
make large profits possible where they
were small before.
Equality of inharmonious metals, in
a measurement of dollars, was the ham
dicap imposed on an earlier proft-tak-
ing, the metallic association being OF
Lead and copper. In the extraction of
copper the lead was lost, so the net value
remained in the copper. amounting to
about $l2 to the ton, and in about $5
worth of gold. The lead loss was $S a
ton. Values in the new ore BODY are 500
gold and $lS copper.
Oscar DeCamp, superintendent, who
recently brought down samples of the
ledge, has received an assayer's certifi-
cate testifying to the presence of these
values. He regards the samples as .hav-
ing been fairly representative of condi-
tions across the IL feet which the vein
measures between walls.
The ore lies between quartz and dio-
rite, has a north and south trend, and
was:exposed at depth of 1855 feet. 1t ia
intersected by ledges of less width, hav-
ing an east and west course, that con-
tinue into the diorite. Part of the main
ledge traverses smashed area. Water
level is so feet below. Near the base of
the hill is cropping that suggests a
basin.like curvature of the ledge
These conditions with others have pro-
.yided geological problem that is rel
ished by Supt. DeCamp because of its

complexities. He is credited with hav-
ing solved the LIE Roi puzzle and paid
the first dividend, and is quoted as hav-
ing said that he sees large opportunities
in the Conquest.
Development Will be centered on the
big ore body at the present dopth, but
the ultimate center of operations will
probably be through new avenue.

Ready to Start Diking

The railroad contracting firm of Jones
& Onesrud, which last year made con-
siderable part of the grade for the I. &
W. n. extension. has taken the contract
to build the dixie for Calispel Diking
District No. ] , and is now assembling
outfit preparatory to starting the work.
Diking District No. comprises about
$500 acres north of Cusick. The matter
of dlking has been in the courts for some
time and only recently had all court
matters been completed. This was &C.
coml,lished too late to permit OF adver-
tising and selling bonds to raise money
for the work and get the work done this
spring. Messrs. Jones & Onesrud have
simplified matters and done away with
the necessity of issuing bonds by agree
ing to do the work and take warrants of
the district in payment therefor.
The I. & w. N. has granted the dis
trict the right to use it's railroad grade
as part of Its dixie. and the road is also
putting in concrete fill across Trimble
creek, which the district will fit with
gates to keep out the overflow waters of
the Pend Oreille. The contract for the
dixie calls for its completion by June Is,
the date at which the Pend Oreille high
water usually reaches the crest. Farm
ers in the district are putting most of
their land under plow this year and are
confident OF saving their crop.
The Coleman & Cowan store at Blanch-
ard was burned to the ground Sunday

total loss. The sale of the stock had
been under negotiations and transfer of

The clearing of logged off lands
is the big problem confronting the

SHORTEN DISTANCE To- MINES
New Road Proposed From Bead
Lake to Newport.
Change Would Benefit Many.

Residents of the Marshall Lake and
Bead Lake countries and the miners IN.
terested in the many promising pros
poets in that section are working for a
new road to Newport that will cut off
about three miles of the distance. In
addition to shortening the mileage the
road will run on the second bench from
the river, and many low spots along the
river that are marshy on account of the
numerous streams and springs would be
avoided.
A petition is being circulated among
those interested, asking the establish
ment of county road. Practically all
of the right-of-way can be secured with
out cost. While survey has not been
run, it is estimated that the road would
not cost oyer $1,000 to place in passable
condition with out few grades. A large
part of the way it would run through
open timber land. Those interested
stand ready to donate large part of the
labor involved in it's construction.
The road would follow along the foot
of the second bench from the Conquest
mine. and would place that property
within five miles of Newport. Marshall
Lake would be brought within six miles
of town and Bead Lake nine miles. Both
OF these lakes are being stocked with
fish and in few years will be good fish.
ing resorts.
The people OF Newport should be in
terested in any attempt to improve the
roads leading into town. The CONNER.
eial Club will be asked to endorse the
scheme and will doubtless do so.

of the gathering was "Harmony."
One of the rousing talks of the

OF INTEREST TO SHEEP MEN

Washington, March l4-By an
evenly divided court, the supreme
court of the United States today
affirmed the decision of the federal
court of California, which held that
the grazing Of sheep without per-
mission on forest reserves waH not
violation, of the law.
The question arose in the eases
Of Pierre Grimaud and J. p. Cara.
jous, who were indicted in 1907 in
the federal courts of California on a
charge ofgrazing sheep without per-
mission in the Sierra forest reserve
within the state of California.
The indictment was brought an.
der the act OF 1897, which author.
lied the secretary of agriculture to
make provisions for the protection
of the public lands in the forest
reserve against destruction by Are
and depredatIons. Punishment for
violations Of the provisions were
provided for.
! "A. F. Potter, chief Of grazing
land in the forest service, interprcts
the above decision to mean that the
secretary of agriculture cannot instl.
tute criminal prosecutions agalnst
persons who violate departmental
regulations governing grazing on
forest reserves. n
Y Mr.. Potter states that the decision
Affects only this legal phase of the
question and does not bring into
question the departments right to
regulate the grazing on reserves,
nor does it, in his judgment, cur.
tail the right to impose q fee for
grazing on the reserves. Both
practices, he, says, will becontinued
unless, upon further analysis of the
courts ruling, they are found to be.
unlawful. 81

the fact that the bonds would not be
payable for 90 years, by which time
large per cent of the farmers who
are of middle age today will have
passed away, and upon the coming
generation will fall the most of the
burden of paying off these bonds.
This burden, however, would be so
light on the average taxpayer that
he would not notice it, and it would
really amount to nothing in COM
parison to the saving he would de.
rive on the wear and tear of his wa.
gon, harness and horses, besides the
time that would be saved in getting
to market with his produce.

CITY SEEKING A
DUMP GROUND

N Cleanup time has rolled around
again and while there is plenty to
do in this line in Montpelier, the cit
iEens can't very well get rid of their
ashes, tin cans and other rubbish
until the city provides dumping
ground for them. The question of
securing a suitable place to dump
the rubbish from the city has been
a bone of contention with the city
officials for number of years. Two
Or three different places have been
secured, but neither of them have
proved satisfactory.
The only solution to the question
seems to be for the city to purchase
"a small tract of land at a proper
distance from the city and thus
have a permanent dump ground.
There will then be no excuse for the
citizens not getting their trash
hauled off early each spring.
We understand that a committee
from the council was recently ap.
pointed with authority to select a
site for dump ground and purchase
it if necessary. The committee has
one or two sites in view, but no
selection has yet been made, because
of the exorbitant prices asked for
the land, so we are told. The com.
mittee realizes that the city is not
financially able to expend very much
money for this purpose, and 1t also
realizes that dump ground is sorely
needed. This sort of places the
committee between the devil and
the deep blue sea, but it is to be
hoped that site can be determined
upon within few days so that the
citizens can get busy at cleaning p
their back yards and alleys.

A new PRESS FOR
THE EXAMINER

With desire to give the readers
of the Examiner larger and better
looking paper, a new newspaper
press has been ordered and will be
installed in the Office within the
next four weeks.
Besides giving our present pTess
In exchange, the new press will cost
US close to 5000 by the time it is set
up in the Office and ready for OPP
Grafton.
Now we expect the patrons of the
Examiner to help US pay for this
new equipment, and in looking over
our books we find that we have
enough outstanding accounts to
meet this obligation. We are there
fore going to insist upon those who
owe US on subscription and other
accounts coming through with the,
coin.
A goodly number responded to
the subscription notices sent out
two months ago but there are yet
several hundred subscribers who are
in arrears from one to two years.
To those knowing themselves in
debIed on subscription we kindly
ask them TO make prompt remittance
and thus save us the time and ex-
pense of mailing them second
notice.
We are only asking for that
which is justly due us and we intend
to have it if we have to resort to
drastic measures to secure it.
There is surely not a subscriber
to the Examiner but what can
easily afford to settle his account,
and If those who are still owing on
subscription would promptly remit
within the next four weeks, it
would relieve us of the necessity of
borrowing money with which to
pay for the new press.
Although the Examiner will be
enlarged when the new peess is in
stalled. the subscription price will
remain the same, $3.50 year. AL
we ask in return for our efforts te
give the people larger and better
paper, is that our subscribers make
a special effort 10 keep their sub

CZAR OF FLAT GIVEN
PENITENTIARY SENTENCE
Before Whom He Appears
for Trial

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-No sooner
had Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Wellman
moved into No. 4441 Broadway several
months ago than they realized that
the real boss of the f1athouse was AL
bert Mollock, the janitor. He told the
Welmans they must patronize only
the storekeepers he designated. When
they refused to obey him there was
trouble.
One night Wellman. who Is an artist,
could not get the dumbwaiter to work.
He went to the cellar and found the
dumbwaiter rope was fastened so the
lift would not bulge. AS he was un-
tying the rope the janitor rushed out
and struck him on the head with a
monkey wrench. Then Mollock was
arrested.
"There was a standing rule" test
flied the janitor yesterday in Judge
Swann's part of general sessions.
that the garbage must come down
promptly at o'clock at night
"Who made that rule?" asked the
judge.
''Who do you think? I did," retorted
the janitor.
After the janitor had changed his
plea to one of guilty the judge gave
him three months in the penitentiary.
"You might establish some new rules
on the island" said the judge.
