Rupe $3.50 each for killing elk
out of season, he failed to i'm
pose a jail sentence in case the
fines were not paid. This fur
nished base for habeas corpus
proceedings and the case was
tried before Judge Steele at
Lewiston.
The court ruled that the men
could not be held in jail, but the
fines hold good and can be re-
covered by civil action.
The men were arrested by
Deputy Game Warden Pennell at
their home near Harpster few
weeks ago and brought here for
trial. During the fall and win
ter they were trapping in the
Middle Fork country where the
offense, to which they plead
guilty, was committed. When
the fines were imposed they
seemed perfectly satisfied, but
when they arrived in Grangeville
in company with Deputy Pennell,
they refused to pay and were
locked up. Legal talent was
sought, hence the habeas corpus
proceedings.
According to all accounts it
would be wise for the men to
settle, as the game warden has
something else up his sleeve that
may cause serious trouble fol
them. Kooskia Mountaineer.

STILL FIGHTING
IN MEXICO
The Rebels Seem to Have the
Best of 1t.

A telegram sent by mail from
Hermosillo by a correspondent to
Nogales. and from Nogales for
warded by wire, says of fight
that has taken place in Sonora:
The battle that is being fought
at San Rafael is the most i'm
portant engagement in the revo-
luton in the state. There are
700 revolutionists and some 1000
federals. 1t is a standup fight.
The rebels knew the federals
were coming to attack and they
stood their ground ready to re-
ceive the stack,
Last night the government
here issued a bulletin claiming
that in the battle 78 rebels had
been killed and that the govern
ment had lost 16 killed and 22
wounded.
This morning Sc badly wound
ed soldiers arrived here from the
front. After three days OF
fighting the government has is
sued no new bulletin or claim Of
victory. The city is waiting,
All know the news is bad for the
government. If it were not bat
| The government would have
claimed a victory, they say.
There is a rumor that the 20O
Yaquis that were well armed b.
the government have gone owe
in a body to the revolutionists. !.
1t is hard to realize that in thi
age 1900 men with modern rifle
are killing each other, with n
doctors and no trained help Q
I any kind. AS they fall, they Ii
or crawl away.
The poor federals are drive
b like cattle to the fray. 1t is tru
n the rebels are fighting for a
n idea, but the rank and file in tn
d federal army die like forsake
n dogs.

Penn Dixie Make a Good
Strike
TO PUSH DEVELOPMENT WORK
Is Most Important Strike In
Recent Years.

After persistent work on the
surface and un derground, look
ing for a shoot of ore that threw
rich float on the Keystone claim
belonging to the Penn-Dixie COM
pany, Superintendent w. l..
Sendker, has at last been re-
warded, and at present driving
a force of men are driving on one
of the richest shoots of ore found
for sometime.
After doing considerable sur
face work and not being success
full, Mr.. Sendker started tunnel
and crossed the vein, and follow
ed it few feet, but it showed
nothing to justify further work
at that time, but persistent sur
face work showed the location o.
the ore, and the vein was follow
ed to the ore.
The ore is a close grained
quartz, showing free gold al
through 1T, and is a very higl
grade. The pay shoot is 18 t
20 inches wide.
The shoot will be followed an
its extent determined. No assay
have as yet been made.

Summer.
The dredge on Little Elk creek
belonging to the Jennings Dredge
ing Co. will be sold by the sheriff,
Monday. April 10, to satisfy q
judgment, given w. H. Purdy
for labor performed.
The dredge was operated last
summer at a loss, from the fact
that after they got ready to run,
they found the bedrock much
deeper than was expected, and
in trying to reach bedrock, TIE
machinery proved inadequate
and as a consequence it was
broken and shut down most Of
the time. =.
Had the dredge been built
strong enough and the machinery
heavy enough to have handled
the gravel there would have been
no trouble in getting the gold,
which was proven to be there
and in good paying quantities.

INSURGENTS
IN HIGH FAVOR
Extra Session of Congress at
Work.

Although the democrats of the
house by official caucus action
have declared a purpose to enact
tariff legislation duridg the ex-
ira session of congress just be-
ginning the prediction is made
that no such legislation can be
put through the senate at this
time and that the extra session
will adjourn earlier than has
been expected generally. Senti-
ment among the regular repub-
licans in the senate is over
whelmingly against any sort of
tariff revision at the. extra ses-
sion. And there are multiply
ing evidences that the regular
republicans are disposed to do
all they can to placate the pro-
gressive wing of the party.
Without the support of the pro-
gressives, the democrats cannot
possibly get any tariff bill
. through the upper branch of con-
gress.
, AS matters stand it is appar-
ent that the regular republicans
of the senate will do everything
in their power to postpone al
, matters of general legislation un
: til the regular session next De
cember.
| 1t is reported that a numbe
= of progressive republicans ar
: likely to fall in with this idea.

CONCENTRATES.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
Prospectors should test every
kind of rock without prejudice.
Often most unpromising rock
proves, upon investigation, to be
valuable.
Flint such as is often seen as
nodular masses in limestone, is
sometimes gold bearing, and
jasper is not uncommonly rich in
gold and silver.
The black diamonds. or car
bons, used in diamond-drilling,
are worth almost as much as the
fine brilliant diamonds, the pres
ent price being $50 to 500 per
carat, according to quality. IL
In blasting, the primer should
be placed near the top of the
charge, and not we'll down to-
ward the bottom of it. If placed
too deep, there is always likeli-
hood of the burning fuse setting
fire to the power, thereby losing
| the hole and causing the powder
to burn, filing the workings
with deadly fumes.
Geological age of rocks bears
small relation to the value of the
ore deposits which occur in them.
Valuable mines are known alike
in the oldest formations and in
the latest Tertiary rocks, as well
! as in those of all the ages be-
: tween them. Also, paying mines
: are found in rocks of almost
every description regardless Of
their geological age.
Clay in placer mines will rot
r the sluices of gold if it comes il
contact with it. For this reason
the clay should be well puddlet
y before it is allowed to rul
through the sluices. Clay is ais
n likely to give trouble in prospect
K ing by panning. 1t must eithe

The pipe has all been connect

operation. The ditch is clear of
snow and the water is coming

to the GOODNESS of the. weather
has not yet started sufficiently
to afford an effective mining
head, however, a great increase
IN the flow of water may be ex-
pected as soon as the present

The New Way

The new way adopted by people who
know how and who care to dress we'll,
and practice economy, is to visit the
modern outf1tters, who supply clothing
at ANY price a man wants to pay, or
make suit any way he wants it made.
These suits are made by the men
who originate the latest styles and at
the same time utilize any idea the GUS
toner may desire In addition.
You can get an all wool suit made
any way you want it made for $3.50,
$500, $500, $4,000 and up to $4,000
or $4,000.
Then II full dress suit, regulation
spike tail suit is wanted, you can start
at $500 for fine black broadcloth
suit and 60 as high as SIS or $1OO. No
such goods as these were ever put on
sale in Ottumwa. Here you can get the
highest grade city work done by the
finest city tailors, and the suits and
styles designed by the highest priced
originators Of styles in the world. Also
imported cloth from France, Germany,
England, etc What more could be ex-
pected? This is what we call the New
System. "A perfect At guaranteed, or it
costs you nothing. All our ready made
clothing is for sale at practically your
own price. No old styles. Nothing older
than Nov. 10, 1910. Suits for $3.50 that
look, like $40 suits, and often sold for
SO. Splendid suits for S., $3.50, $3.50
and $12, generally sold for double the
price.
Modern Business Methods
are doing away with the old style sys-
TEN Of piling up $4,000, $4,000, or $75,-
900 worth OF clothing as is and has
been the custom in Ottumwa and all
other cities. Think of the interest on
such investments. The expense of run
ming, which amounts to from $500 to
over $40 per day and you will see how
we can, by the new system of no in
vestment and only $500 per day ex-
pense, undersell the old way of doing
busin ess. The writer tried the old way
over 20 years and ought to know. He
now feels as though mountain had
been lifted from his shoulders. He ran
the Hub Clothing Store twelve years.
