MARKET REPORT

- Kansas City, Nov. %, 19l1-Ship-
pers to Missouri River markets were
more obedient to suggestions of COM
mission men, that is to say, were
more astute, than were shippers to
the Chicago market this week. Light
supplies have arrived at River points
yesterday and today, with the reward
that conditions are favorable to sell
ers, whereas, Chicago was loaded up
with 81, 200 cattle yesterday, six or
seven thousand more than necessary,
attended with 10 to Is cent decline.
Only 1000 head came in yesterday.
Prime steers, or something with a
reputation, would reach 50. Snappy
weather is beneficial to the meat
trade, and Eastern buyers are more
active this week than heretofore,
though all hands affirm that beef
channels are badly congested all over
the consuming sections. A fair num-
ber of steers sell at s. upwards, but
$3.50 StockerS and feeders are
moving with vim and vigor this week
and the better class selling $50 to
1855. Twenty cars of well bred Col
orado two year olds sold yesterday at
at $40 to S4.95, weighing s25 to $50.
l2uaf1nSine receipts are heavy enough
for the season, but quality is COM
mon, no steers above IS this week,
Old Mexicos at 81: short fed quaran-
tine sell at $3.50 to S. 80.
The hog market opened five lower
today, but lightning struck it about
the middle of the session, after which
packers spent the time trying to buy
hogs 15 to 25 lower. Some hogs will
be held over tonight, and the battle
will be fought to finish tomorrow.
Top sale today was s6.40, bulk, in
cluding light weights, S.. T5 to So. 35.
Slim sheep supplies are arriving
this week and prices are Is to 25
higher, with lambs at Sc. Some
owners have economical on corn, a.
| lowing their stuff to run on grass and
| weeds too long, or till it has started

wetllers S3 to s.. so, ewes 81. 20 to s3 IL
stock ewes S15O to 49, rs, feeding

LITTLE BUTTE
GETS BULLION
Small Mill Gets Good Results
from Ore Treated.

The small one-stamp mill erect
ed on the Little Butte mine, by
Geo. Widmyer, the past summer
is giving good returns from the
ore treated. The first week the
mill was run on the average ore,
which plated about $40 per ton.
At present the ore being put
through is very rich, being sort
ed with view of shipping. This
ore is plating about $1OO per ton,
and as there is considerable of it
Mr.. Widmyer will get good re-
turns. sn
There is 2 large tonnage of ore
on the dump that will pay to put
through the mill. and .pntil this
is milled no more will Re mined,
as it is the intention of Mr.. Wild
myer to do all the work himself,
The success of this mill is be-
ing watched very closely by the
claim owners of the district, as
it is well known that there are
several properties thst have ore
that will pay if properly handled,
and now that there is some way
to dispose of the concentrate
without shipping to a smelter,
more of these mills will be built.

Secret Baseball. siqnalas,

to be making fools of themselves or

mailing to runners or batters GUST what
the general sitting on the bench wants

Just us foolish as the wigwag men or
more 80, but somewhere, hidden in his
meaningless or hackneyed phrases or

him that sthe next will be a straight

at top speed when the pitcher starts to

Wreck of the Maine.

At least one fact has develop
ed beyond controversy in con-
nection with the excavation go
ing on inside the cofferdam en-
closing the wreck of the Maine
in Havana harbor. That is that
tn ship was not blown up by
her boilers.
Some have contended that the
explosion of the boilers caused
the magazines to explode i'm turn.
But a report from the army en-
gineers shows the workmen have
uncovered the tops of the boilers,
which were intact, with one ex-
ception. That was in the case
of one of the forward boilers,
which was not burst, but which
had been driven bodily astern by
the blast from the magazines.
1t had gone through a heavy
bulkhead and against one Of the
after boilers.
Another curious find was an
ammunition case which had. been
blown aft from the magazines

The report shows that instead
of being able to float only the
after third Of the hull, it has
been found possible that more
than half the ship can be pumped
out and foated out of the dam.
This will greatly reduce the work
of removing the wreck from the
harbor.

came here during the glittering
days of prosperity. While here
he engaged in various pursuits.
He was once mail. carrier from
Mt. Idaho to Warren, travelling
by way of Florence during the
golden days of that camp Mr..

LOCAL OPTION
UP AGAIN
Election Called for Resubmis-

sion of Question.
The board of county commits
sioners at their recent session
issued a call for the resubmis-
sion of the local option question.
The petition was signed by 60
per cent of the voters of the
county, and after canvassing the
petition the board issued a call
for an election to be held on
November 22. ..e
Since two years ago when the
county went dry, there has been
a great deal of argument as to
which was the better, license

the law as at present. 1t is
promised that hot fight will be
on, and which ever side wins it
is to be hoped the law will be en-
forced to some extent at least.

DITCH WORK
is STOPPED
Will Resume Early in the
Spring.

Spring.
The work on the ditch for the
Gold Scale placer has been
stopped for the present year.
The right-of-way will be cleared
and everything made ready to
commence operations in the early
spring.
Manager Sullivan was a little
late in getting started, and the
extreme storm of two weeks ago,
has made it so disagreeable that
it was thought best to close down
as it was not the intention of
completing the ditch this fall.
There have been three miles
completed and put in good shape,
and it is thought by the time
this water is needed in the spring
the remainder of the ditch can
be finished.
The camp has been moved to
the placer ground where it is the
intention to do some work in the
way of putting in sluices and ar
ranging the pipe line for work
next season.
Since the work started some dc
men have been employed.

Work Viii, Be- Pushed
This Winter.
STRONG COMPANY BACK OF IT
Good Surface Showing to
Start on.

.Ralston McCaig, J. w. Turner
and w. A. White, of Spokane,
passed through Elk City this
week to inspect the Oregon mine
in the Summit Flat country, in
the Orogrande district. The
gentlemen are heavily interested
in the property and are planning
extensive development work.
The Oregon group of claims
has had considerable work done
on them in the past, but for the
last two or three years nothing
but the assessment work has
been done.
The vein has been opened by
a shaft down 95- ft. in vein 5
#. wide that carries good values.
The shaft was equipped with a
good hoist, but a, disagreement
in the management stopped this
work and a long tunnel was
started which was driven 800 #.
without lencountering the vein,
when the lack Of funds stopped
this work, 1t is understood that
the course. of this tunnel was
never deffinateIy determined by
survey, and at the present time
it is not known where The breast
Of the tunnel is in relation to the
vein. Just what work will be
done was not given out, but it is
probable that more surface work
will be done to get the strike of
the vein before going ahead. In
some of the surface cuts on the
vein some very rich ore was en-
countered, and the original loca-
tors built an arraster near the
property and we'll did on the sur
face ore.

NEW JAIL is
COMPLETED
Idaho County Now Has Most
Modern Prison.

Idaho county's new Jail is near
ing completion, the expert from
the factory who has been in the
city supervising the erection of
the steel cages, having completed
his work apd lett for the east
and all that remains to be done
now is the, building of the ex-
ercise room for the prisoners, the
dividing of the front portion of
the building into a sleeping room
for the jailer and the moving of
the sheriff's office, which under
the new arrangement will be in
the same room as the Jail. 1t is
expected that all work will be
completed by the first of next
week and the Idaho county bas-
tile will be ready to receive any
all occupants who have banker
ing to break the laws of the state.
The cells are the most modern
manufactured, built of the best
of steel and locked by device
which permits the jailer to han
die his prisoners without going
in among them. The cells, which
are four in number, sit in the
center of the room and have an
aisleway around them so that the
Taller can see every move of his
prisoners. Each cell will accom-
modate four prisoners, thus CIV
ing jail room for sixteen men.
The exercise room, which is built
directly in front Of the steel
cages, is being built of two-inch
plank which are spiked solid,
thus making a wall four inches
thick of solid wood. Free Press.
