Account OF Losing One Boat
of Machinery.
The Salmon City Recorder says
One of the three fiat-boats, be-
longing to the Salmon River Min
ing company, which started down
a week ago last Sunday, was
wrecked at the Growl Rapids.
about 80 miles this side of the
destination. L. Cummings was
in charge Of the boat, which was
running side by side with another
boat in dangerous part of the
river in a channel safe for only a
single boat. Cummings quickly
realized that if something was,
not done both boats would be
wrecked. Accordingly, he slung
his boat out of the channel,
struck a rock, and the heavy
load went to the bottom of the
river. 1t is stated that it will be.
possible to recover the freight at
low water.
AS previously stated in The
Recorder, the boats belong to the
Salmon River Mining company,
which owns several acres Of
placer ground, 150 miles down.
the river, near Eakin's ranch.
The company is financed by Phil
adelphia capitalists. one of them
A. l. Dupont, of the famous firm
of powder makers. J. R. Painter
is superintendent, and will ac-.
company the remainder of the,
fleet down the river. Harry
Guleke, the well known riverman
who has made the trip several
times through the dangerous
canyon which lies en- route, is in
command of the boats.
Miss Lockhart, western nov
elist, will accompany the voya-
geurs, with her camera and note
book, and will write up the trip.

Turquoise deposits have been
worked in Arizona, California,
Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico
and Texas. Turquoise is gener-
ally found in arid or desert re-
gions, where mining is difficult.
New Mexico, California and Ari-

sources of turquoise, but during
the last few years Nevada has
been one of the principal pro-
ducers..

country was probably made in
Connecticut in 1923 by Samuel
Higley and Joseph Dewey. Cru
chile steel was first successfully
produced in the United States in
1882 at the works of William and
John H. Garrard, at Cincinnati,
Ohio. Bessemer steel was first
made in this country in Septem-
ber 1864, by William F. Durfee
at an experimental plant at
Wyandotte, Michigan, and open
hearth steel in 1864, by the New
Jersey Steel & Iron Co., at Tren-

Wood preservation through
chemical treatment has come to
be considered perhaps the most
important phase of forest conser-
walton, next to checking the
waste from forest fires. To
lengthen the life of wood will
lessen the drain on the forests,
and consequently postpone the
exhaustion of the country's tim
ber supply. Not only does the
preservative treatment Of the
timber bring about a direct saw
ing to the individual timber user,
but the general adoption of such
measures means a great saving
to the timber sources of the
nation as a whole. At the pres
ent rate of consumption, the ex-
haustion of the supply of the
better class Of structural timbers
in the United States is a thing of
the near future.
Igneous rocks, as that term is
used by the United States Geolo-
gical Survey, are those that have
cooled and consolidated from a
state of fusion. Molten material
or magma from the bowels of the
earth has from time to time been
forced upward in assures or
channels of various shapes and
sizes through rocks of all ages to
or nearly to the surface. Rocks
formed by the consolidation of
molten material, cool slowly,
with the result that intrusive
rocks are generally of crystalline
texture. Where the channels
reach the surface the molten
material poured out through
them is called lava, and lavas
often build up volcanic noun
tains. Igneous rocks that have
solidifed at the surface are
called extrusive or effusive.
Lavas generally cool more rapid
ly than intrusive rocks, and as g
rule contain. especially in then
superficial parts, more or less
volcanic glass, produced by rapic
chilling. The outer parts of lavs
flows also are usually porous
owing to the expansion of the
gases, originally present in the
magma. Explosive action, due
to these gases, often accompanies
volcanic eruptions, causing ejec
tions of dust, ash, lapilli, an(
larger fragments. These ma
terials, when consolidated, con
stitute breccias, agglomerate.
and tufts.

the last winter this company has
had a small force steadily de-

encountered last fall in tunnel

results that are more than flat

Mr.. Mcknight says that the
present working force will not
be augmented, but that he has
every reason to believe that the
coming summer will see much
activity around the Majestic
properties. Speaking of the
probability of the extension of
the railroad down the Salmon
river, his views are of a decidedly
optimistic nature, and he believes
that Central Idaho is in line to
attract more attention from solid
mining men than it has for the
past twenty years.

Last Chance Has Rich
Shoot.
WILL NOW PUSH DEVELOPMENT
Another Case of What Work
Will Accomplish.

Recent developments on the
Last Chance claims have been of
such magnitude lately, as to
cause some surprise, even by
those who were familiar with the
outcrop, which while not large
was very rich, assaying $270 in
gold.
The Last Chance group con-
sists of five claims, and is stu
ated about one and one-half miles
north of Elk City. 1t is easily
accessible by two wagon roads,
one crossing the claims at the
base of the hill and the other,
high up. crossing the ground
few feet above the portal of the
upper tunnel. 1t is owned by
James Larsen of Elk, and Wilson
Bros. of Spokane.
The work at present consists
of tunnels, one in 370 ft. and the
other 200 it., both on different
vein.
The veins have an east and
west strike. dip to the south.
with the pay shoot pitching to
the east.
The south vein, on which most
of the work has been done. is
about five feet between walls,
and at present carries a two foot
pay streak of exceptionally rich
oxidized ore, that averages better
than $100 in gold. and pans very
free. The ore for the most part
is of a hemitite character, al
though in places it shows very
little iron.
There is a depth of only rs to
80 fit. at the face of tunnel, and
not much more can be gained
from the tunnel level, as the
crown of the hill lays very flat.
This may seem to be long
tunnel-370 feet-to gain so little
depth, but in going over the
ground it is apparent that Mr..
Larsen used good judgment in
this, as he had opened the vein
on the surface in several places,
and had the vein exposed on the
east side of the ridge, and it was
merely a matter of following the
vein. and staying with the ore.
At present Mr.. Larsen is build
ing ore bins, and arranging every
thing so the ore can be saved,
and when this is completed will
at once push development work.
On another vein, which is g
parallel to the one referred tc
above, there is a tunnel 200 #.
in length, but which is some zoe
fit. below the upper tunnel,
This vein is 6 fit. between walls
and has a pay streak of 3 1-2 ft,
of good milling ore which aver
ages SIS in gold, and is also very
free.
The outcrop of the two veins
are only 125 fit. apart, and it is
the intention of the owners, after
the extent of the pay shoot has
been determined in the south
vein, to drive the lower tunnel ir

Anne Kempburn,
TruthSccker'
BY Marguerite Bryant

A new novel by the author Of
Christopher Hibbault," now
in its eighth edition. 1t has the
same qualities of restraint,
humor and high purpose which
have made the previous work
SO great q success.
This authors first book has
been one of the most unusual
successes Of recent fiction. "Anne
Kempburn' has all the qualities
that enlivened christopher
sympathetic characters, and a
moving human story.
In Anne Kempburn," as in
Christopher Hibbault," the
author has remembered that
there is a very strong tendency
in modern fiction to dwell much
upon the shortcomings o!
humanity, and that the other
side of the picture is equally
deserving of attention. For
tur ately, Miss Bryant has the
ability to remind the wcild that
there are men and women who
have high standards and are
willing to struggle to live up 20
them.

 My Dear "Doc, ,''-
 Not that l have been asked but it may be of interest to you to know something of conditions as they ex. ist in Dawson
 From strictly my own viewpoint the situation is
 On arrival at Dawson, June nth, we were stopped in a slough a short distance south of the city where all passengers were inspected by the Dawson health authorities including the American Consul, after which the dowu.river passengers were trans ferred to a waiting steamer and the Dawson. passengers carried on up the river to and landed on the ferry on the shore of the river opposite the town. the boat then returning to the slough and taking aboard such up- river passengers as were waiting on the steamer to which the down-river passengers had been transferred.
 This same method has been follow ed ever since and no thru passenger either .up or down stream has been landed in Dawson this season. About the sailing hour. some of the steam CTS have come up the rivev and doclzed at the Dawson wharf, where strict military quarantine has been maintained. and the few Dawson pas sengers. after inspection immediately before boarding the boats. have been accepted for transportation. The local traffic. however is now and has been for some time. confined to one boat which accepts only local and no thru traffic. passengers being furnished with transportation no farther than Whitehorse.
