To Become Depositories When
State Has So Little Money
To Distribute.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Nov. 21-The
State Banking Board has decid-
ed to take no further steps to-
ward the designation of depos-
tories for state money until
there is some money to deposit.
This was done at the request of
the banks themselves, who did
not wish to make bonds until
there is some reason for it. Of
the 81 banks that made bids,
only sixteen qualified to become
repositories, and they will be
designated when needed.
There is now less than $780,
900 in actual cash in all funds
in the state treasury, and not
one cent in the general revenue
fund. The school and the pen
sion funds are very nearly all
drawn out by the counties, and
there is about $4,000 in the
capitol fund. Last Saturday
there was $4,000 paid into the
treasury in the penitentiary
fund, but there were more than
enough outstanding claims to
clean that up, and now it is
nearly all gone. Yesterday
the University of Arkansas
drew out $4,000 from the Nor
rell fund for the payment OF
teachers salaries and other ex-
penses. This exhausts the fund
and the University can get no
more money until the taxes be-
gin to come in.
1t is announced by President
John N. Tillman that he has Sc
cured an appropriation of $40
900 from the Peabody Fund far
the purpose Of erecting a build
ing on the campus for the use
of the Department of Education,
and a meeting will be held in
Little Rock, by the Board, for
the purpose of locating it. More
attention is to be given to the
symmetrical placing Of build
ings on the campus hereafter,
and the services of a landscape
gardener will be secured to of
fer suggestions.

DEWEY'S ROAD
TO LEWISTON
Maps Are Filed Showing the
Extension.

Boise News: From q source
absolutely reliable it is learned
that maps aae drawn, and it is
understood these maps are filed
in the land office at Boise, ac-
cording to which the Idaho
Northern (Dewey's road is to
be extended through Long valley
to Payette lakes, and on down
the Little Salmon river to the big
Salmon, down which stream the
map shows the line is to go to
Lewiston and over to Spokane,
which is shown to be the north
ern terminal of the road. This
same map shows the second Idaho
Northern extension branches off
from the line to Spokane at
point Is miles below Smiths
Ferry (the present Idaho North
ern extension is from Emmett TO
Smiths Ferry goes up the south
fork of the Payette river, through
Stanley basin, up to Challis, on
up to Salmon City, over to Dill
lon, Mont, where it connects
with the Oregon Short Line
track from Dillon to Butte,
which is mapped as the northeast
termincl of the Idaho Northern.
This map shows Nampa as the
southern terminal of the Idaho
Northern. 1t is learned from an
unquestioned source that $50
miles of the Idaho Northern eX-
tensions are now practically
ready to contract.
1t is evident from the charac-
ter and the enormous expense
involved in this extension work,
and from the maps showing
Spokane and Butte as the north
ern and northeastern terminals,
respectively, of this road that
the Idaho Northern is destined
to play a prominent part in the
development of this portion of
the great northwest.

downward, or forced to flow
from the bottom upward, over
flowing at the top of the vat.
Any ordinary force-pump will
serve to force the teaching solu-
tion into the space beneath the
filter-bottom Of the teaching vat,
whence it passes upward through
the ore. In either case cave
must be taken to get an even
distribution of the ore in the
leaching-vat, otherwise channels
will be formed, and the teaching
will be imperfect. Channe ing
may be more easily avoided when
downward teaching is used, as
the solution automatically finds
it's way by gravity through the
ore at the proper rate. Where
pumping is employed the solution
may be forced in faster than it
can pass, and the excessive pres
sure will cause channels to form.
1t is believed in some quarters
that the use of upward leaching
gives a more thorough contact of
solution and ore, but this is a
matter of opinion.

ANOTHER STRIKE
IN THE TEN MILE
Occur d'Alene Group Now in
Good Ore.

Word was received in Elk City
this week that the owners Of the
Coeur d'Alene group had en-
countered ore in the lower tunnel
1850 ft. from the portal, and had
driven in the ore some 40 #.
They have as yet made no cross
cuts, and only the four feet of
ore is taken out as the tunnel is
driven ahead. The ore is of a
dark blue quartz, heavily miner
allied, and pans very free.
This is the ore that was cut
in the upper tunnel, and which
caused no little excitement at
the time, and which resulted in
the running of the lower tunnel,
which gives them a back of over
400 ft.

OFF FOR DIXIE'S
CELEBRATION
Base Bail Enthusiasts Bent
on Good Time.

A four-horse load Of base ball
players left Elk City yesterday
morning for Dixie, where they
will play game of ball, and
otherwise participate in the cele-
bration of Dixie Day."
Among those in the party
were, Hitler, Yahraus, Sapp,
Patterson, Austin, Will Booth
and Ralph Strong. Several more
are expected to go over from Red
river.
Mrs. Arthur Hitler and Miss
Wheeler went over on the stage.
Mrs. J. C. Litchfeld, Miss Ruth
and Helen and Arden Litchfeld
went over in their own hack.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Hye went
over in their buggy, and Messrs.
Horn, Shissler and Perry left in
the afternoon. G. L. L. Basket
left this morning and expects to
make the ride in time to see the
ball game.
That they will have royal
good time is assured, for the boys
in Dixie have been prepareing
for several days, and know how
to entertain. Aside from the
ball same there will be sports Of
various kinds, and a grand dance
in the evening.
1t is to be hoped that the Dixie
boys will not go too strong on
the ball game. and give Elk City
a chance to redeem herself, but
if Joe Wade is to- umpire the
game he will probably try and
get a good story out of it, ire
spective Of the game.

>un Made Over Bad
Roads.
CAN BE PUT in SHAPE
Grangeville People Make Run
in Short Time.

Honk! Honk! was the first
warning that the residents of
Elk City had that an automobile
had invaded our city.
Tuesday evening about 9
o'clock, John Jack and R. Cote,
of Grangeville, arrived in town,
having made the run in about 10
hours.
This is the first automobile trip
to be made over this road, and in
speaking Of the run Mr.. Cote
said, that aside from the high
center of the road there was no
difficulty experienced, and that
the roads were not so bad until
they started down the mountain
to Newsome, here they had to
build up on one side to get over
some rocks, and were somewhat
delayed.
The road from Newsome to
Elk seemed to be the most troub-
lesome, and in numerous places
they had to jack the machine up
to get over the high bumps, and
at one place they had to grade
the center of the road out to go
ahead at all.
The machine has a clearance
of about 10 inches, and is rated
at 40 horse power. The distance
Travelled is recorded as 55. 3 miles.
The very fact that an automo-
bile can get over the roads at all,
should emphasize the fact that
with the proper amount Of work
the roads can be put in shape to
afford this easy mode of travel
for at least the summer months.
There is a good deal of difference
in making the run from Grange
vile in a few hours, to taking a
day and a half.
1t is to be hoped that something
can be done to put the roads in
better shape, for with the small
amount the county has to put on
the roads they will never be kept
in good order.
Wednesday afternoon Mr.. Jack
took Mr.. and Mrs. L. A. Strong
for a ride going to the Finley
ranch on Red river, returning in
the evening. This piece of road
is not so bad, and no trouble was
experienced. Had Mr.. Jack the
time to spare he would have
gone to Dixie and joined in the
celebration.

JIM COLCROVE'S BLACK PINE.

Up on a mountain we call Knob Hill,
Which lays to the north of the big
Twin Butte mill,
A claim is located which sure is mine,
This claim, is known as Jim Colgrove's S
Black Pine.
There are many big lodges of silver and
gold,
Which show native copper in places
we'r told,
You can test all the ore, it will pan
every time,
From the tunnels and drifts of Jim
Colgrove's Black Pine.
There's friend Orrin Lamb with his
great Diamond Hitch,
Which some day will make him exceed
ingly rich,
And old Ham and Eggs with his big
Morgan mine;
But they are nothing to compare with
Jim Colgrove's Black Pine.
There is old Bobby Puelz and his Treas
ury Hill,
Who says all he needs is a twenty
stamp mill.
Their mines may be good but they will
never outshine
A prospect as good as Jim Colgrove's
Black Pine.
We have heard lots about the great
Bloody Van.
With mountains of ore that never would
pan,
And the big Hogan mill that's hung ur
down the line,
There is nothing like that on Jim Col
groves Black Pine.
You can hunt these hills over from
Switchback to Hump.
And find many mines with rich ore or
the dumps,
But pass them all up for there is moth
ing so fine,
AS the showing you'll see on Jim Col
groves Black Pine.

that a stone which

Self Burning Limestone.

Attention has been called to a
limestone in Syria which is ap-
parently impregnated with petro-
leum residues. This condition
enables the natives to burn the
stone to lime without the use OF
fuel after a fire has once been
started. The contained material
is compustible and it continues to
burn after a certain heat is at
tanned. Such portion OF the
stone as remains unchanged is

WORK STARTED ON ROAD
Gold Ridge M. & D. Go. the
Purchasers.

The BuckhOrn NINE IN the len
Mile district has been sold, the
purchasing parties being the
Gold Ridge Mining and Develop
ment company, of which A. A.
Hammer is the secretary and
treasurer. The controlling in
terest of the Buckhorn was held
by Capt, c. E. Sample, j. G.
Brinkerhoff, E. J. Gugler and
Max E. Weinkauff of Spokane.
Capt. Sample being the heaviest
stockholder.
The Gold Ridge Mining and
Development company have been
operating the Wander mine, that
is a close neighbor to the Buck
horn and have been negotiating
for the property for sometime.
The Gold Ridge people have
been contemplating the installa-
ton of a mill, and have been
trying to get a mill site on the
creek where a good supply of
water would be available at all
seasons, and as the Buckhorn
people held the ground most de-
sirable for this purpose, negotia-
toni were opened for the pur-
chase of the entire property with
the results as above stated.
The consideration is not made
public but is understood to be for
large amount, and one of the
agreements being that the pur-
chasing company shall erect a
mill on the ground this fall.
This the company intend doing,
and have ordered a 15-ton chillian
mill, to be delivered by Oct. 1st,
The Buckhorn group of nine
claims have been noted for the
rich ore they have produced fol
several years, but not much de-
velopment work was done or
them until Capt. Sample and as
sociates acquired the property
two years ago, since which time
several hundred feet of develop
ment work has been done and ;
large tonnage of good ore put il
sight. The present year a new
tunnel was started that woul(
tap the ore at great depth, an(
it is the intention of the nev
owners to push work on thi
tunnel.
The first work to be done b.
the purchasing parties is th'
