IL claims at Yellow Knoll, seven and
one-half miles northwest of Mill City,
in the Central mountains, is in town
today. Mr.. Miller reports that last
week he made an important strike on
his "Daisy" claim, while engaged in

Will CULTIVATE
LOCCED,0FF LAND

SPOKANE, Wash, April 1l.-Offer-
ing to the man of small means an op-
portunity to wrest from the soil GER
tain livelihood with provision for
handsome profit as the years roll by, a
new movement has been inaugurated
here which bids fair to open to settle
ment many thousand square miles in
eastern Washington, northern Idaho
and western Montana. The project
embodies placing on the market great
tracts of loggedoff lands from which
the timber has been cut in recent
years The productiveness of the soil
of such land is almost unbelievable.
True, the stumps must be removed, but
with modern methods this can be done
at so low figure that the total cost
of the soil ready for the plow is much
less than for some tracts now upon the
market in sections which have never
been wooded.
A convention to discuss ways and
means of colonizing the big area has
been called under the auspices of the
Spokane chamber of commerce for to-
day. Invitations to the convention
have been issued to representatives Of
commercial clubs throughout the In
land Empire, also to owners of logged
off areas and especially to those set
tiers who have demonstrated the prac-
ticabiity of removing stumps by mex
pensive processes. The railway com
panies have also been invited to send
representatives. 1t will be the purpose
of the convention to gather data on all
IF the essential details necessary to in
duce prospective settlers who are not
discouraged at the prospect of hard
labor to get onto these cheap and re-
narkably fertile lands.
Men who have made success OF
farming on logged-off land will be in
vited to give what information they
can as to the best methods of cult
waiting and what, in their belief. is th'
most practicable way of removing the
stumps. The most popular methods EN-
oloyed are dynamiting, burning and
sharcoaling. The latter method is
ised with great success on the Pacific
coast and consists of boring a hole in
the center of the log and through the
side, thus creating direct draft.
The committee in charge of the con,
vention consists of Samuel Glasgow
secretary of the Centennial Mill com.
pany; n w. Durham, journalist; I. j.
TIumbird, president of the Humbird
Lumber company; f. +. Cartier Van
| Dissel vice president of the National
apple show; J. P. McGoldrick, chair

STOCK FOR COUNTY

A. S. f. Rankin, of the firm of

years he operated one of the first mills
ever erected in the camp.
Although there is considerable
snow remaining at National, which
prevented me from getting about as
much as / would have liked, / could
easily preceive that it is bound to be-
come a great camp said Mr.. Ewing
in conversation with a Silver State
representative today. "Tn fact min
ing operations will not be confined to
the camp of National, but will extend
over radius of many miles in that
vicinity. While l secured no interests
on this trip, / may in the near future.

in abundance, and all that is now re-
quired is capital to properly develop
the many properties that have been
prospected during the past year or
