IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR

"A iumor was going the rounds re.
Gently that H. w. Harris, formerly OF
Loomis, had shutfled off this mortal
coil somewhere down in Oregon. This,
like many other rumors that find their
way into circulation, was without foun.
dation. Mr.. Harris is now in Elk CITY.
Idaho, where mining excitement OF
large proportions is now attracting
much attention in the mining world.
This Office has received a copy of the
Elk City Mining News from Mr.. Harris
this week, containing the following
item that will be read with a great
deal of interest by the many friends OF
the Oroville lad who seems to be on
the top of the heap in claim locations
"The VIM. Simpson gold and copper
strike on Anderson butte is taking on
more prominence in local mining cir
cles every day, and within the past
week the number of men who have
gone to the new discovery has been
great enough to almost be called a
miners rush.
"John Nassau, who was one of the
first men to arrive on the ground after
the Simpson discovery, says the dis.
cOvery is the greatest that ever has
been made in the districts. He says,
also, that Lee Fruit, young man who
came in last spring from Oroville, has
the best location of all. Mr.. Fruit has
an extension and side location to the
Simpson claims, and the side location
shows more ore than any of them.
Nassau says the ore carries copper,
lead, silver and gold, and the gold
comes out by panning."

picnic at the beautiful pine grove at
the homestead of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w.

there was no hand painted china OF
rare value to eat from, nor unique

MOTOR BOATS WILL BE
ASSESSED HEREAFTER

Motor boat owners at Paducah
who have escaped taxation will be
required TO list their property to
city Assessor j. Yves Orr hereafter.
No municipal revenue has been re-
ceiyed from this source in the past,
but City Solicitor James =. Camp
bell, Jr., says owners of motor boats,
launches, etc, are required by law
to list their property for assessment.
Chief Henry Singery. of the police
department, has given directions to
Patrolmen England and Stewart to
make q canvass of the boats In the
local harbor and report their names.
There are about 100 motor boats
here, but City Assessor Orr is of
the opinion that not much revenue
will be derived, as n majority of tho
craft are of no high value. How
ever,ipthe assessment will make a
big charge In the valuation of per
sonal property.
