QUITE A SURPRISE TO MANY
PERSONS INTERESTED
PAY LABOR AND MATERIAL
Judge Calkins Makes a Court Order
and Passes on Numerous
Claims.

In the matter of the receivership
of the Golden Drift Mining company
affairs have taken a new turn. Judge
Calkins decided last week to author
ize the issuance of receivership GER
tificates in payment of certain bills
contracted by Receiver Sanders. The
judge went over the claims and Sc
lected those which he felt satisfied
were without question due and pay
able by the receiver. These certifi-
Gates will be issued in a few days by
Receiver Wharton as soon as blank
certificates can be printed. The bills
allowed amount to $4337.S2, divided
as follows; $2694.20 for material and
supplies; $S37.74 for receivers Of
flee and $S05.SS for labor. In addi-
tion to the above were claims to the
amount of $2S29.47 which were furn-
ished before the receiver was appoint
ed. These were not allowed, likewise
claims to the amount of $S36.25
which the Judge thought were
charges which should be paid by the
plaintiffs In the case. The claims that
were not allowed may receive favor
able action later, as the action of the
court at this time was not conclusive
as to some of the claims.
The action Of the court is highly
satisfactory to those who are forum
ate enough to have their claims pass.
ed upon favorably, but those who are
left out are wondering II the court
will finally permit them to get their
money. In this matter 1t is presumed
that Judge Calkins will do what he
can to meet all just demands and
later 1t may come about that a con-
siderable block Of claims will receive
favorable action. Receiver Wharton
has been managing the business with
rs little expense as possible and he
has not incurred debts except to con-
serve the property. The court has
not passed upon the compensation OF
former Receiver Sanders. II is said
hat this will come later.

Needed Stairway at Foot of Sixth st.
The suggestion that the city coun-
ell build a stairway at the foot of
Sixth street to the waters edge to
accommodate those who may wish to
avail themselves of boating privileges
on the river has pleased many people
who are fond of water sports. II will
save a long walk across the bridge
and down through the park and for
this reason is not only desirable but
important. Chas. Costain, who owns
the gasoline launch, says that IL the
council will build the stairway he
will enter into an agreement to build
a substantial boat landing and ON
signal will at all times send a boat
for parties who may desire to take
a trip on the river and on returning
will land them at the foot OF the
stairway on the north side.

but we understand that the. property
owners and the council have reached
an understanding whereby the work
may be completed as soon as the city
attorney can prepare the necessary
ordinances and notices.
Plans. estimates and ordinances are
being prepared for the grading of
roadway and laying granite sidewalks
to grade along A street from the Kin
ney residence west, two blocks be-
yond the Merlin road on Dimick
street; Seventh and Eighth streets,
from M street to the river, and Eighth
and Ninth streets from A street to
the north ends.
The residents along c street are
determined to pave their street from
Sixth street to the Merlin road, but
they are undecided yet as to the
width of roadway best adapted to the
travel along this thoroughfare.
The washed sand and crushed rock
plant across the river Is furnishing
some excellent material for concrete
and paving and the plant north of
town, owned by the city, will be able
to furnish additional crushed rock
for macadamizing and concrete, so
that contractors need not fear any
shortage in materials for all classes
of work.
