CANADIAN BILL
BECOMES LAW
Must Be Ratified by Canada
to Be Effective.

The reciprocity trade agree
ment between the United States
and Canada embodied in the reci-
procity bill thst proved a storm
center in two sessions of con-
gress, passed the senate Satur-
day without amendment by a
vote of So to 27. A majority of
the republicans voted against it.
Of So votes for it, 80 were dem
ocratic and 21 republican. Of
the II against, "a were republi-
can and three democratic.
This action settled the whole
Canadian reciprocity question as
far as congress is concerned and
save for executive approval and
the Canadian parliament's ratifi-
cation, virtually made the act
the law Of the land.
Congressional practic will delay
the affixing of the presidents
signature until Wednesday, when
the house is again in session.

Fine Specimens of Ore.

George Martin and George
Craig arrived in the city Tuesday
from the Ten Mile camp with
some of the finest ore specimens
that have been displayed here
for some time. The ore was
taken from the Mountain View
group Of three claims, owned by
the two gentlemen named, and
which is believed by them to be
an extension of the rich Harmon
& Morrow property. The gentle
men say they have a six foot
ledge, the groupings Of which
are clearly defined for 2500 feet,
and they are now making ar
rangements for the installation of
a small mill. Globe.

Sketching a Veins Progress.

A useful and instructive prac-
tice in developing a mine is to
make rough sketch of the vein
and it's surroundings at the face
after each daily series OF blasts.
By keeping these sketches in ro-
tation, with measurements, etc., 4,
one becomes familiarized with
the vein and it's changes, and in
this way may be able to predict
with some degree of probability
what is going tobe, as depth and
progress is gained on it, and to
foretell from certain local signs
whether the vein and ore deposit
is likely to open up into a bo-
nanza at certain points, or con-
tract to a minimum,

SAD DEATH OF
YOUNG WOMAN
Was in Mountains for Her
Health.


Last Sunday evening, Mrs. Fay
Bergan, who was being taken to
her home in Hillyard, Wash,
died from exhaustion, following
an attack of acute mania.
About two weeks ago Mrs.
Bergan was brought into this
section by her husband in the
hope that the change would be
of benefit to her. She was taken
to the home of Joe Coyerly, her
father, on Red river, and for a
time was thought to be improv-
ing, but the nervous attack of
which she was suffering would
come on, and she decided to re-
turn home, and came to Elk City
Thursday evening. The next
day she became worse, and de-
veloped acute mania, and was in
very serious condition, when it
was decided that she should be
taken to Sites. A private hack
was secured and the trip began,
and when the party arrived at
Newsome, Mrs. Bergan was
taken from the hack to the house
where she died from exhaustion.
Besides her father, her hus-
band and her little baby boy
were with her at the time of her
death. Mrs. Shinrock, her mother
was notified of her condition and
met the party at Sites. The
body was shipped to Spokane for
burial.
Mrs. Fay Bergan was born in
Spokane, and was about II years
old, and had one child boy g
little over year old.
DR.. Yates did everything to re-
lieve her suffering but to nc
avail.
Mrs. Greckwell accompanied
the party as far as Newsome anC
took case of the baby, returning
to Elk the next day.

EASTERN STAR
FINE SHOWING
Some Dixie Properties That
Look Good.

Among the many promising
claims in Dixie, there are none
that show to any better advant-
age than those belonging to Miss
Helen Smith, and who has for
the most part done the develop
ment by herself. The Eastern
Star group of three claims adjoin
the Dixie townsite on the east,
and on the No. / claim there is
five feet of ore in the bottom of
a Is ft. shaft that averages from
$50 to $64. In this vein some
very coarse gold is found, and
the ore as a whole is very free.
On the No. 2 claim there is a 3
#. vein of free milling ore that
is opened up by surface cuts and
shallow shafts, and a cross-cut
tunnel has been started to cut
the ore at some depth. but has
not reached the vein yet. The
No. 3 claim is an extension of
the No. 2, and the same ore has
been opened on the surface for a
distance of 1000 ft.
Another group of claims owned
by Miss Smith is the Blue Bell,
not far from the Eastern Star
group. On this group a tunnel
has been driven 125 fit. on a vein
carrying from 18 inches to three

install ELEVATORS THIS SEASON
Will Enlarge Ditch for Power
Purposes.
Dixie, July Is.

.a DlXle, July 20.
While the unusual backward
spring and the continuous wet
weather during the month of
June, caused an unavoidable de-
lay on considerable portion of
the work that is being carried on
by the Idaho Realty, Power &
Mines Co., in the developing and
equipping of their big surface
mining project along Crooked
creek. At the present time and
since the weather conditions have
permitted, the work is being
carried on with a rush at all
points of development and con-
struction, in a most satisfactory
way to the management. The
working force has continued to
be enlarged as needed, and as
fast as the equipments arrive on
the ground the elevators and
separators will be installed and
placed in position.
Manager Gayton states that
the entire intake ditch will be
enlarged from IL to 10 inches,
which will then carry about 600
inches of water. The dam is be-
ing strengthened in several
places, as is also portions of the
fume. At this writing the pros
poets look bright, despite the un-
favorable weather encountered
the last few weeks, for the work
is to be in the best of condition
by fall and nothing is to be left
undone that will interrupt or de,
lay a successful run.

Survey Parties Now in
the Field,
GO OVER OLD SURVEY ROUTE
Are No Doubt Northern Pa
cific Men.

Inc appearance OF several
survey parties in the field at this
time of the year, and the rumors
from what are purported to be
authentic sources, of the propos-
ed construction of a large amount
of new railroad the coming year,
naturally raises the question as
to the destination of these parties
and to what one of the transcon-
tinental lines they belong.
About three weeks ago a party
of several men went through
Elk City, and were bound for the
Hot Springs, and gave no inti-
nation that they were the ad-
vance guard of a survey party.
At the springs, where they
stopped for several days, exam
ining maps and trying to find the
route they were to take, they
gave the information that they
were to follow a route taken by
party three years ago that were
out for the Northern Pacific,
and were trying to find a better
route out of the Bitter Root val
ley than over the Lo Lo pass.
On last Saturday, another
party passed through town, and
in making inquiries as to differ
ent trails, it became known that
they were following the first
party and had orders to meet
them at the head of Horse creek
where the Shoup trail crosses.
From this party it was learned
that a crew was supposed to be
working out of Salmon City, and
all were to meet somewhere on
Horse creek.
The Horse creek referred to
lheads at the Nez Perce pass, and
runs southwest into the Salmon.
! It is about 80 miles from Shoup,
where the trail crosses. The
breaks of the Salmon at the
mouth of Horse creek are very
precipitious, and it is thought by
some that the party are to work
there way down the creek anC
work along the river, as it is
known that the Gilmore & Pitts
burg people are checking there
survey in a great many places
But the fact that they are follow
, ing the line that was made by the
, Northern Pacific men three years
ago, it is quite probable that the
long looked for railroad from the
Bitter Root valley will be started
again., and should they change
the route it may come down Rec
river and the South Fork.
Whatever it may be it is quite
evident that the railroad com
panies are still trying to get
line into the Elk City country
E without building branch from
Sites, and as the season comes
it is apparent that several survey
lines will be run in this section

on an adjournment date was conveyed to
Governor Dineen in a resolution intro
duced in the senate by a vote Of q to 4,

adopted last week by disposing of a notice
to move a reconsideration of the vote by

On a roll call in the lower body only
sixty-five members responded to their
names. This numbering twelve short OF
a quorum, repeated objections were made
to the consideration Of any business.
The house finally adopted a resolution
providing that when the two houses ad-
journed today they stand adjourned until

tors an opportunity to study that pcr-
tion of the constitution relating to the
