VIII Fret Smdter Ned Spring-Road To
Property Almost Completed Last Fall

The property Of the Globe Mining
and Milling Company has every indica-
ton of becoming one Of the few diyi-
dend paying mining propositions in the
state in the near future.
On account of the difficulty in reach
ing the property BY wagon road, work
on the smelter which is to be built
must wait until conditions permit in the
spring, when the road which is under
construction will be completed. How
ever about $4,000 brick and other ma
terial, required in the construction Of
the smelter, will be hauled within a
mile and a quarter Of the smelter site.
AS evidence Of the faith the promot-
ers have in this enterprise, more than
two miles Of wagon road was built last
fall at heavy expense, leaving but one
and half to complete in the spring.
Public demonstrations by the retort
process has convinced many of the
doubters Of the cinnabar ore. Among
the prominenent men Of this city who
witnessed the process were: Thomas
Burke, Dr.. Elmer, Dr.. McKeown,
Martin Christensen, T. J. Costello,
Mike Fitz and the writer, and to all
appearances the test was fairly and
honestly conducted. The quicksilver
obtained was evidence Of the value OF
the ore.
The properly is on Niger creek and
before the formation of the company
last year, was developed by George
Persinger.
Dee Fisher Of this city is promoting
the property and is devoting his entire
time and attention to the sale of stock
as well as making preparations for the
spring operations. Considering the in
terest manifested in the property by
the people, Mr.. Fisher believes that by
February / sufficient stock will have
been sold to enable the company to
proceed with the development work
and complete the plant.
A block of 1000 shares has been
placed on the market at 10 cents a
share.
The annual election of officers will
be held January and at that time the

OLDEST MINING CAMP
Has Added More Than Million to the
Worlds Store of Gold

Many changes have been made dur
ing the past year at Blewett which in
sures promising future for the camp,
which is one Of the oldest in the state.
More than $4,000, 900 worth OF gold
has been taken from the Washington
Meteor properties and considerable de-
velopment work is planned for the COM
ing year.
The property has been in litigation
for several years, but has recently
changed hands.
The consolidation OF the Golden
Eagle Mining Company, and the prop
erty recently acquired by F. S. Earnest
and associates, has been effected.
The property acquired by Mr.. Earnest
was formerly known as the Washington
Meteor Mining Company. The resi-
dent manager of the Golden Eagle
Company was J. A. Mccarthy, who has
spent the last eighteen years in Blew
cite and who discovered the valuable
property in which he now owns large
interest.
The ore was generally supposed to
be free milling bat later scientific de-
velopment has brought about changes
in the method Of treating the ore. AS

determined on.
Tests of the ore have been made BY
a number Of chemists who have pro-
nounced the ore very rich. Among
the tests made were those Of F. S.
Earnest, mining engineer Of Spokane
who recently became interested in
property at Blewett. In letter re-

consequence a cyanide plant will be
constructed and will result in saving
more of the values in the ores.
In addition - gold mining, the
claims of the Washington Steel & Iron
Company have been developed during
the past year and will without doub,
be a scene of great activity in the near
future.
Many promising prospects have been
opened up during the past few years
and will eventually receive attention
according to their worth.
Placer mining has been carried on at
different times in the past. Considerable
ground has been worked out mostly by
the hydraulic system. One of the
latest properties to be mined is owned
by NJ. F. Peake of this city. Gold is
found in paying quantities from the
surface. Considerable development
work has been done by Mr.. Peake dur
ing the past season.
Blewett, which is about II miles
from Peshastin on the Peshastin creek,
receives mail by a twice-a-week stage
line from the latter town. Several
families and about a dozen bachelors
comprise the inhabitants of that ancient
camp.

Ellen Terrv's Joke.

When Ellen Terry was presented
with u Founders gold medal at the
New theater, New York, recently-an
honor conferred in recognition of her
great services to dramatic art-she
was called upon to make speech OF
acceptance. 1t SO happened that the
actress was exceedingly hoarse and
she was therefore forced to cut her
remarks short. So she told this story:
"a friend Of mine once bought par.
rot and gave much money for 1t with
the understanding that 1t could speak
fluently, but when he reached home
with it he found to his dismay that
the bird was dumb. SO he took it
back. This parrot cannot say word,
he said Indignantly to the bird fancier.

know it can't, but it's a devil to

AS far as possible the maids are
eliminated and the opportunity to have
an informal chat with the presidents

tea is one that a great many women
are willing to enjoy in preference to

sibility of "crowd"-just a few guests

War Over National Health Department

way: About year ago II bills were
introduced in congress, all seeking to
legalize the establishment of ma
these bills were strangled in the COM
mittees, and but two remained These
two were the subject OF bitter acri
manious debate on humorous occasions,
but congress finally adjourned without
doing anything. The fight was mere
ly postponed until the present SEES
sion.
The fight for national health bu-
reau is a part Of the general conserya-
ton movement that Is going OH all
over the country. The National Con.
servation commission has taken note
of human life" as being one Of the
resources OF the nation that Is worth
saving. Originally this commission
was formed to conserve lands. waters.
mill sites. forests. minerals and wild
game. but it speedily came to the con-
clusion that human life was worth
more than all the rest of our resources
put together.
I'VE need men," said the conserva-
tionists, "to plow these lands. dig in
these mines and cut down these for.
est trees. Therefore. let us conserve
human life, stamp out disease and give
the doomed babies a chance. Let us
establish a national bureau Of health
that can at least do as much for the
farmers babies as it is now doing for
his horses and cattle"
In support of the establishment OF
the new department are ranged thou
sand of life insurance companies, la.
Dor organizations, farmers associa-
lions and other civic and social bodies.

States to Aid In Agricultural Work

The department is expressing the
hope that the state legislatures will
give the movement new impetus by
increasing the amount of their apprc.
priations for the work. This years
appropriation by states aggregated
$301,7S0. Indiana appropriated an
average amount, $4,000. New York
led, with $4,000; Iowa was second,
with $4,000, and Wisconsin third,
with 100000. The department points
out that to the 1901, $50 should be
added the amount used by the sew
eral states for extension work from
the farmers institute fund, of which
no separate account was kept
From the standpoint of the federal
government, agricultural extension is
a business proposition. 1t undertakes
to do for men engaged in agriculture
what proprietors of mills and manu-
factories are striving to accomplish in
their busineSs-thc conservation of
waste, economy Of effort and mate
rial, and an increase in the output
with reduced expense. 1T strives to
do with and for a man that which a
manufacturer desires to have done for
his machines-improye it that it may
turn out more and better quality of
products" says Prof John Hamilton
