WORK ON DITCH
PROGRESSING
Now Have Large Crew at
Work.

Manager M. H. Sullivan, of
the Gold Scale Placer company,
is making fine progress with the
ditch to be taken from the East
Fork of American river to the
property at the head of Balloon
gulch. The first mile of ditch
was completed this week, and
the camp moved further along
the line. From reports by En-
gineer Trembeth it is said that
there will not be so much dirt to
move for some distance from now
on, as the ground is more level
and the upper slope will not be
so long. There is a force of 45
men on the job at present, and it
is not likely this will be increased
to any extent.

To Put in Electric Plant This
Fall.
WILL START IN THE SPRING

S. R. Gayton, manage of the
Idaho Realty, Power and Mines
company of Dixie, was in Elk
City this week on business. In
speaking of the work done at
the mines this summer, Mr.. Gay
ton said: 1--WE have got every
thing in good shape at the mines,
and as soon as l can get outside
and purchase some pipe and have
it shipped in, we will be ready to
start operations in the spring.
The past summer the company
had their ditch enlarged, and it
is now in frst-class shape. and
will carry about 300 miners
inches of water. The elevator
is built and ready to run. The
waste bitches are all dug and
one pipe line is in place, and the
other line Will be installed as soon
as it arrives at the mine. AS
soon as the company decides on
the proper equipment, we will
put in an electric plant, and this
will be on the ground inside 90
days. l propose to have every
thing ready to run in the spring
as soon as the water starts"
The way Mr.. Gayton has
handled this property this sum-
mer has won for him the COM
mendation of all who have come
in contact with the proposition.
Mr., Gay ton has not only done a
great deal of work in a short
time but has prospected the
ground thoroughly.

The various tellurides of gold
and silver were first identified in
Hungary and later were found in
small quantities in the Colorado

the veins of the Mother Lode in
California. They were not of

ground the full strength of the
legs may ultimately be developed
and squeezes caused by adjust

forces may impose upon them
loads which they may even be
unable to sustain.

These two districts have each
produced large quantities of gold
from telluride ores. In spite of
this the nature of the telluride
is not thoroughly un--

CONCENTRATES.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
Sulphuric acid is used for such
a variety of purposes that it has
been said that the amount of it's
consumption is an index of the
state of industrial advancement
of a country AS it's cost is low
and transportation difficult it is
usually produced near the place
of consumption.
Pencil manufacturers have
been buying old cedar rails and
cedar boards from the old barns
of the farmers for the reason
that such wood, having been ex-
posed for many years to the ele-
ments, is in far better condition
than new cedar. The new cedar
carries a large amount of resinous
matter and it is difficult and ex-
pensive to get rid of this. When
not thoroughly eliminated, it
tends to warp the pencils and to
ooze out, marring if not destroy
ing the finish. y
Fire fighting in the mine is
complicated by the low head
room. 1t is impossible to carry
water far from the nozzle be-
cause no adequate elevation can
be secured even with consider
able pressure. In seven-foot
adit, for example, under 40 lb.
pressure the jet can only reach
"a ft. from the man. Any sort
of a fire of consequence is too
hot to allow a man to go within
this distance of it. Again, the
irrespirable air prevents effective
fighting unless the fighter dons
oxygen helmets, or is supplied
with fresh air from behind him.
Water is found in some amount
in all formations below the earth S
surface, from the loosest and
most porous sands and gravels
to the hardest slate and granite.
The amount varies from the
merest trace chemically combin-
ed in the molecules of the rocks
to immense reservoirs which sup
ply wells flowing hundreds of
thousands of gallons a day. Some
waters are so pure that a re-
fined chemical analysis shows
only minute traces of organic
and mineral matter; others are
so heavily charged with minerals
or other impurities as to be un-
suitable for use.

Sunk Shaft in Good
Ore.
LONG TUNNEL In LARGE VEIN
Personal Mention of Some of
0nr Neighbors.
Orogrande, Oct. 2.

OTOSTdlluS, OCI. Il.
The work at the Umatilla has
been suspended for this year.
The principle work done was the
sinking of a shaft of the Wilma
claim. The shaft was put down
45 ft, on a five foot vein, that
shows a % inch pay streak that
carries good values and pans very
good. The drift in the east end
Of the long cross-cut tunnel was
driven ahead and the breast is
now 14OO fit. from the portal.
This drift is on the vein which
at this point is II ft. wide, but
is not of as high grade as the
ore passed through.
Gustav Schlosser, of Chicago,
president of the company, was at
the property this summer, and
was much pleased with the
showing, and it is said to be
the intention to push the work
more vigorously next season.
The Umatilla company have a
group of IL claims, upon which
there are several veins, on work
which consist of a cross-cut tunnel
driven to the vein, and several
hundred feet of drifting on the
vein. The company has splen-
did quarters at the mine. Orrin
Lamb was in charge of the work.

PROFILE MAPS
ARE FILED
Location of q. & p. from Sal
mon City to Lewiston.

Location of e. & p. from Sal
mon City to Lewiston.
Profile maps showing the per-
manent location of the Pittsburg
& Gilmore railroad on the lower
Salmon river and along the Snake
river into Lewiston were receiv-
ed for filling at the local land
Office yesterday. The first maps
covering the survey below Sal
mon City were received last year
but the filing made yesterday
covers the last 100 miles of the
survey and shows the permanent
location into Lewiston has been
made. Accompanying the maps
was a note from the railroad
company asking that the filing
of the maps be made at the earl
lest possible date.
The maps show the total dis
tance from Salmon City to Lew
iston is 29O.84 miles and also
that the plans of the company
provide for an extension of the
line to Walla Walla. Up to the
present time there has been no
filing at the local land office that
would indicate the route of the
Walla Walla line, but the seven
maps received yesterday state
the filings are a part of the Sal
mon City-Walla Walla system.
Rumor has been current for
some time that construction on
the Lewiston extension of the
Pittsburg & Gilmore road would
be commenced early next year
and recently the construction
equipment of the contracting
firm of Wren & Greenough was
moved to the Camas prairie ranch
with an understanding that ii
would be taken to the Salmon
river line early next spring.
During the past several months
engineers have been engaged in
the revision of the line on the
lower Salmon and along the
Snake river until the entire sur
vey is aow iaa readiness forthe
cross-section crew and the con-
tractors. The tunnels and bridges
are shown on the maps now filed
and the data as to creeks and
canyons along the route is most
complete. Lewiston Tribune:

HARD LUCK ON
THE SALMON
Prospector Looses All in a
Boat Wreck.

Oscar Eakin, well-known here
met with a very serious loss on
Salmon river last week, when he.
was wrecked just below the
mouth of the Middle Fork.
Eakin who had been in Salmon
City all summer was returning to.
his bar at the mouth of Little
Squaw creek, with his winter
provisions, was coming down the
river in a boat alone, and had
been sailing along in smooth.
water and taking it easy, when
all of a sudden the boat struck a
rock which upset it in so short
order, that he was caught under
the boat, and only by lucky
chance was able to extract him
self. Eakin was so used up when
he came to the surface that he
could not make shore, but was
fortunate enough to get one of
the sweeps to which he clung
for some distance down the river
before he could land. He finally
made his way to the Yellow Pine
bar where he was taken care of.
He lost everything he had and
was compelled to travel. some dis
tance befere securing any assis-~
tance. The Salmon river is very
low this year and dangerous to
navigate.

ALGIERS RAILWAY BALKS ON
RIVER EXTENSION.

City Attorney l. d. Moore last week
received a letter'from Leigh Carroll Of
the Algiers Railway, Light & Power
Company, advising that he had noticed
in the papers that his company had
been notified to extend the Algiers and
Gretna line to McLellanville and to the
Mississippi river, but that his COM
pany has never reached an agreement
TO extend the line to the river and his
recent letter accepting notification to
extend the line was meant to apply
only to an extension to McLellanville.
City Attorney Moore replied to Mr..
Carroll, declaring emphatically that
the franchise ordinance under which
the road is operating requires that the
line must be extended to McLellanyllle
and to the river, and that the company
must comply with the ordinance. The
city attorney further advises Mr.. Car
roll that If his company has not come
to any agreement as to extending the
line to the river" that an agreement
can be arrived at If he will call upon
the mayor and city attorney.

In connection with the theft of Tu-

valued at $40, from the Naval Station
on Tuesday morning, July 25th, the
Eighth Precinct police arrested the

and Charles, better known as the Oil
yer brothers, who live in Mcclellan
Vile; Phil Hartman, of 1916 Burgundy
street, and Emile Rowyer, of 261S Ma
rails street, as dangerous and suspi-
cious. They appeared before Recorder
Clement Thursday morning, but being
unable to give a satisfactory statement
they were sentenced to $40 or twenty
days, and twenty days additional.
The Alwart brothers are notorious
police characters and though mere
youths, have been mixed up in thefts
on various occasions, for some OF
which they served time. 1t is believed
by the police that they have arrested
the right parties and they hope to find
the stolen property before long. The
hoist and rope were stolen from the
coaling room at the Naval Station.

ebrated its fifteenth anniversary in ex-

members of Crescent and Halcyon
lodges, Grand Chancellor A. w. Brown

muda street and Pelican avenue, they
paraded through the principal streets
under the guidance of Grand Marshal
William Owens, assisted by Henry
Munsterman, William Cuny, Bernard
Voegtlin, WILLIAM Spahr and August

banquet board and enjoyed an elabO-
rate spread, which was interspersed
with music. Lea J. Burton was toast
master. and a number of prominent
members spoke.
Grand Chancellor Brown, the first
speaker, said, in part: The principle
of Pythianism of which | am especially
proud is it's unselfishness, for its OBJ
| jects are such as are cOmmendable to
everyone. An organization that under
takes the work that our order does is
one to which any man may well be
proud to belong Some years ago there
was a Pythian lodge in Gretna, and
now it has disappeared. Why has this
lodge died out? ! would be very glad
to have the three Algiers lodges take
up this matter, and see if they can re-
vive it, | think it is a reproach, not
only on the Algiers lodges, but on all
of the others in New Orleans that this
has occurred. If | can do nothing else
during my incumbency of Office than to
revive that lodge, shall be very proud.
in conclusion, l want to express my
good wishes toward Virginia Lodge,
