MINERS RUSH To
JAR BRIDGE
SOUTH OF IDAHO-NEV-
ADA STATE LINE MAY ONCE
MORE PRODUCE GOLD - RE-
CENT RICH FINDS MADE.

Spokane, March 5.-Prospectors
and miners from nearly every camp
in the Northwest are rushing to the
Elk City district in Northern Idaho
and to Jar bridge, just south of the
Idaho-Nevada state line, where there
is great excitement over late gold dis
coveries. The first named, including
Elk City, Newsome and what is now
known as Ten Mile, was the mecca Of
placer miners about forty-five years
ago, the Wells Fargo Express COM
pany handling more than $50, 000,0 900
in gold, the total output from 1864
to 1871. The early operations were
confined to the shallow bars, but since
1898 there has been considerable
work on the high benches.
One company, OF which N. H. Hare
of Spokane is manager, has 742 acres
of patent ground on the old Montana
placer in Newsome camp, and this,
engineers report, contains more than
100000, 900 cubic yards of gold-bear-
ing gravel, the lowest average value
being 10 cents yard. The main de-
post is from 1900 to $500 feet in
width, 5000 feet in length and 500
feet deep. Experts predict that fifty
men will be employed next season
where only one is at work today and
that the output will be large.

lieved in Washington that the wheels
of the congressional mill will turn
somewhat more rapidly from now on,
though whether any real progress
will be made in regard to the i'm
portant measures comprising the

church Tuesday night in the interest
of Wilberforce university, the oldest
institution devoted to the higher edu-
cation of the negro in the United

Senator Bristow of Kansas.
Saturday is the day fixed for the
formal acceptance of the statute of
John C. Calhoun, which has been
erected as one of South Cardinals
contributions to Statuary Hall OF the
national capitol.
Several events of interest to the
politicians are scheduled for the
week. At Albany the senate bribery
investigation will enter upon it's fifth
week, with public interest increased
by the possibility of an early verdict.
In the fourth congressional district
OF Virginia a special election will be

SILK TRAIN BURIED
N SNOW
EXPRESS SHIPMENT ON MILWAU-
KEE is OVERWHELMED BY
AVALANCHE IN THE NOUN
TAINS-ENGINE ONLY VISIBLE

Ellensburg, March 5.-A Milwau-
kee silk train lies buried under snow
and ice in the Cascade mountains a
few miles west of Easton, according
to reports received In Ellensburg to-
day.
The train chartered for expressing
the immensely valuable silk cargo
of an Oriental liner across the con-
tinent from Seattle to New York, has
been stalled in the mountains for sew
eral days on account of heavy snow.
The single rotary maintained on the
western end of the line broke down
and in spite of heroic efforts on the
part of shovelers the train was not
moved.
For the past few days the train
has been tied up on a siding near a
water tank. Last night little after
10 o'clock, an avalanche fell across
the tracks and completely buried the
train. The snow lies so deep across
the tracks that the water tank is bur-
led and only the front OF the engine
is exposed to view. -
Wires on the Milwaukee are down
and details are unobtainable. A
crew of 80 shovelers was sent out
from Gle Elum this morning to assist
in clearing the line. No lives are
reported lost.

LINK DAVIS is PARTNER OF L. F.
MCONIHIE IN COMPANY AL
LEGGED TO HAVE SECURED
GRANT COUNTY LANDS.

Bellingham, Wash, March s.
That another state scandal may be
unearthed as the result of the desert
land claim contest cases filed by the
government, in Grant county last Sat-
urday on all property of the McConi-
HE Water Power company not al
ready contested by the eleven Belling-
ham claimants, and that Senator Lin
coin Davis, one of Governor Hays
strong supporters and said to be
partner of l.. F. McConihie, against
whom allegations of fraud have been
made, will figure prominently in the
Investigations is the expressed belief
of local attorneys who are pressing
their claims for title against the pow
er company.
when the government takes our
lead and protests on all we have not
contested of the possessions of the
McConihie corporation it means some
thing like business. Senator Davis
is McConihie's partner and If they
get one they will have to get the
| other. We claim that the, corpora
ton gained title to their big holdings
fraudulently The government evil
IDENTIFY agrees with u.s."
Henry White and Thomas E. Cade,
two of the attorneys for the local con-
testants, also two Of the contestants,
| made this statement this morning.
The water power company's pos
sessions are said to embrace $4,000
acres of government and Northern
Pacific grant lands, valued at $I,0o0s,-
600 with an estimated valuation Of
$45 100000 as soon as irrigation is
! begun. Water can be turned onto
the land easily from Moses Lake, it
| Is said.
Asked to tell how Davis ana Nc
| Conihie got title to these valuable
! lands, the local attorneys cay they
are not certain but that they base
their cases on the alleged fact that
| they were first to do actual work on
the disputed land.
! Filed at Wateryille.
| The contest were filed in the Wa
/ terville land Office several months ago.
Spokane men came in on the set
of protests and then the government
| put their secret service men to work
on the case. The detectives have
been at work very quietly and last
Saturday the government contested
all claims OF the company which were
not already contested and which did
not come from the N. P. grant.
| 1--WE have not been advised as to
what the government detectives have
found out and had no idea what they
were looking for until the govern
ment filed their cases at Waterville,
said White. Those cases can mean
but one thing; that the government
expects to show that titles to the valu-
able land were not regularly obtain
ed.
