Hot Wave in the East.

Four deaths were caused by
the extreme heat Saturday in
Chicago, and the number of pros
trations receiving police aid on
the streets ran into scores. The
government thermometer regis
tered 1873 degrees at 3 o'clock.
Cleveland suffered with unuz
sually high temperature, the
maximum reached being 81, in
the evening. During the day the
government thermometer in the
public square registered near 100
degrees. Many cases of heat
prostration were reported.
Rain fell in several sections of
Missouri and Kansas Saturday
night. The greater part of the
southwest is cloudy, with pros
poets of more relief for the hot
weather sufferers.
At least five prostrations mark
ed the hottest June day that
Detroit has experienced since
1895. In the afternoon the ther-
mometer reached 95 degrees and
the kiosk in the heart of the city

CONCENTRATES.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
.Corks may be rendered imper-
vious, and substituted for glass
shoppers in bottles of acid, etc.,
by sleeping in vaseline. Acid in
no way affects them and chemi-
cal fumes do not cause decay,
neither do they become fixed by
a blow or long disuse.
Splash-boards along washing
troughs in change rooms are a
great convenience, They should
be built about IA in, high, should
slope steeply toward the trough,
and should be water-tight. With
them a man can stoop over and
throw the water up over his
neck, shoulders and breast,
without wetting his clothes.
Hard iron castings may be
softened by heating the object to
high temperature, covering it
over with fine coal dust or some
similar substance, and allowing
it to cool gradually. When the
articles are of small size, num-
Der of them are packed in a
crucible with substances yielding
carbon to iron at a glowing heat.
The crucible is then tightly closed
and placed in a stove or on an
open fire. 1t is gradually heated
and kept at red heat for several
hours, and then allowed to cool
slowly. Cast-iron turnings, car
Donate of soda, and unrefned
sugar are recommended as SUBJ
stances suitable for packing in
the crucible with the castings.
If unrefned sugar alone is added
the quantity must not be too
small. By this process the iron
may be rendered extremely soft.

SWEENY TELLS
OF GOOD TIMES
Former President of Federal
Company Talks.

"'The New York stock market
is distinctly better than it has
been for a long time and the crop
prospects throughout the United
States are the best ever known
at this season of the year." says
Charles Sweeny in the Spokes-
man-Review. "As a result | ex-
pect to see money pretty easy
and much projected railroad work
begun in the near future. Mr..
Hill already has broken the ice
by bringing out his big bond
issue. A large part of that
money undoubtedly will be spent
for new branches in Montana,
Idaho and Washington.
"There is absolutely no doubt
that Mr.. Morgan now controls
the Northern Pacific railroad,
and it is more than probable that
it will either be consolidated or
operated in conjunction with the
Chicago & Northwestern. In

Erosion of the Earth.

Investigations by the United
States Geological Survey of the
erosion of numerous drainage
basins of the United States show
that the surface Of the country
is being removed at the average
rate of about an inch in 760 years
Though this amount sseeins
trivial when spread over the sur
face of the country, it becomes
stupendous when considered as a
total, or even in separate drain
age basins. Mississippi river,
for instance, carries annually to
the sea 236, 100000 tons of dis
solved matter and 340.500, 900
tons of suspended matter, and of
this total Ohio : river carries 49,
35O,OOO tons and Missouri river
contributes more than twice as
much. Colorado river, which
has built up for itself a vast delta
brings down.. more. suspended
matter than any other river ir

ing Fast.
The two divers, Messrs. Ster-
ling and Macdonald, who went
to Salmon river last week to re-
cover the machinery that was in
the boat belonging to the Salmon
River Mining Co., that was
wrecked last month, passed
through Elk City on their way to
Portland, Sunday.
The wrecked boat was securely
fastened, and at the time it was
located, was in shallow water,
but the three days preceding
the arrival of the divers, the
water rose eight feet, and the
current increased so rapidly that
it was impossible to get to the
wreck,
The boat was loaded with the
water wheel, and some electrical
apparatus, all of which will be
needed before the plant can be
completed, and put in operation.
Manager Painter, will go ahead
with the work to the point where
this machinery will be needed,
and it is thought by that time
the river will be down so that
the machinery can be recovered.
Mr.. Sterling stated that the
river rose so rapidly one night
that the ferry went out, taking
the old boat and a new one that
had just been constructed.
1t is not probale that the ferry
will be put in until late in the
summer.

SALMON RAILROAD IS ASSURED

Year.
SALMON RAILROAD IS ASSURED
Dixie, June IA.


Mining activities are gathering
in Importance with each succeed
ing week in a way that means
much to this camp. This re-
juvenation is being brought
about by the opening up of new
properties, building of
mills, and a noticeable continu-
of an optimistic feeling
in regards to an early extension
of the railroad down the Salmon
river to Lewiston.
One of the most important de-
velopments, one factor that will
give impetus to developing, pros
pecting and perhaps place quite
a number of developed proper
ties in this district in condition
to enter the list of producers at
an early season, is the fact that
the Idaho Realty M, & P. Co.,
are to commence preparatory
work on the erection of their
power plant.
The opening up of their ex-
tensive placer holdings along
Crooked creek are to be carried
on this year; also a substantial
improvement on their townsite
is to be made.
In an optimistic tone, but con.
servative statement, deprecatine
any evidence of enlisting a boon
for this camp, S. R. Gayton,
general manager Of Idaho Realty

rived in camp last Friday, from

Little Butte Has Fine
Ore.
LARGE AMOUNT OF WORK
Will Put on Small Mill for
Testing.

The Little Butte group of six
claims, situated on Deadwood
mountain, about six miles south
west of Elk City, is one of the
best developed prospects in the
district.
1t is owned by Geo. Widmeyer
and associates. Mr.. Widmeyer,
has been on the property almost
continuously since he located it
nine years ago, and has done
most of the work by himself.
The main working tunnel has
a length on the vein of 730 ft.
and with the numerous cross-cuts
over HOO #. of work have been
done on this level.
The first ore shoot was en-
countered at about 300 ft. from
the portal, where five feet of ore
was struck, that as taken out
was sacked and shipped to the
Washoe smelter at Anaconda,
which gave them returns of $151
in gold per ton. This ore came
in on the hanging wall, in a 10
ft. vein. From here the tunnel
follows the hanging fora hund-
red feet, where a cross-cut to
the foot-wall showed a vein IA
it,, but of low grade. The foot
wall was then followed, when
the ore commenced to come in,
and at the face there is another
good shoot. 1t is about 300 #.
between the ore shoots.
This second shoot does not
seem to be of as high a grade as
the first one, and is Of different
character of ore and not so well
oxidized. The ore pans we'll and
carries considerable lead sui
phide. This shoot has a depth
of 220 it., and on the surface
where it is opened up shows five
ft. strong.
There is another tunnel of liz
it,, but has not been driven fal
enough to get to any ore..
The vein has an east and wes
strike, and dips to the north.
At the present time Mr.. Wild
meyer is at work completing
wagon road to the mouth of thu
tunnel, where he will erect ;
small one-stamp Kendall mill
and work what ore he has on th'
dump, with a view of not onl.
making expenses, but to test th'
method of treatment. A larg
percentage of the values are fre
milling. Besides the ore on tn
dump there are five tons sacke,
that will run close to 5000 pc
ton.

Another property in which MI
Widmeyer is interested is tn
Great m, 5stern. This group o
three claims is about one-hal
mile north of the Little Butte
the vein also having an east an

1t is a good strong five foe
vein, and is developed by a shat
65 ft. deep. which shows value
of $3.50 in gold. This vein

PEOPLE ENDORSE
PETIT ORDINANCE
PUBLIC MEETING BOOMERANG FOR MEN
FIGHTING NEW SALOON ORDINANCE

The people spoke last night.
And 1t looks today as If they
had stopped a lot of foolish talk
about freak legislation"
The people want the saloons
regulated and kept within bounds.
They are more interested in that
than in the question of whether a
few men make whole lot of
money or not.
Fhis was amply demonstrated
at the public meeting held last
night over the Petit anti-saloon
ordinance.
And when Assistant City Attor-
ney Baker spoke up with sincerity
ringing in his voice and shouted:
"I want to say that in Mr.. Pet
tit Tacoma has the best commits
sioner of public safety that she
ever had or maybe ever will have -
the people shook the building
with applause that rang for three
minutes.
People Like Petit.
That's right" shouted one
man In the rear. He told the
people just what he was going to
do, then he went ahead and done
it."
Baker read the proposed ordi-
nance showing that about the only
new parts to it we're the IL o'clock
closing rule and the anti free
lunch provision. The rest of the
freak provisions" have been in
the old city or state laws for years
and years.
Several OF the business mems
committee sat pretty quiet, though
the crowd goaded them to action.
Sam Andrews suggested the
meeting adjourn for a week.
NO." howled the crowd.
Titlow had nothing to say.

That is the modern Tacoma

boost the sale of electric domestic
goods and to stimulate the sale OF

All day today citizens have
crowded the city hall lobby
munching esculent cakes and
|doughnuts cooked with electric
juice.
And It's cheap.
Cheaper Than Gas.
Cheaper than gas" says City
Electrician Collins. And he has
the figures to show 1t.
It takes 507 watts of electric
Juice to bake two apple pies The
current costs when sold by the
city 2 " cents per kilowatt. which
amounts to / 27-100 cents.
To bake the same two pies with
gas at s1.15 q thousand would
cost 3 lilo cents.

Coffee said that he was only pro-
testing against preventing the Ia
coma hotel from selling liquor in
the dining room. Which of course
the ordinance never proposed.
However ! l. understand that
they are going to open fine new
rathskeller in the basement of the
Realty building. Would this be
against the law?"
No More Licenses.
"Yes," said Petit. "And what
is more there will he no saloon IL
censes granted in Tacoma"
Again the crowd cheered its ap-
|proval.
Mayor Seymour stood straight
up with his colleagues In support
of the ordnance Only Weeks
seemed to hesitate. suggesting
that the whole thing go over till
after the Fourth of July.
