Northern Pacific Taxes Paid

On Tuesday Treasurer Reid received
check for SIS, 1926. 16, in full payment
of the real estate taxes of the North
ern Pacific Railway Co., on its lands in
Pend Oreille county. The full amount
of the tax assessed against the COM
pany was SIS, 77643 but by making
payment in full before March Is, the
company was entitled to a rebate of 3
per cent, amounting $451.27.
The company owns in the neighbor-
hood of 1880 acres in this county,
which makes their taxes compute about
123 cents per acre.
In addition to their present holdings
the company will within the next few
years come into possession of some
10000 acres more land when the surveys
of the remainder of the land within
their lieu selection limits are approved
and the lands opened for filing.
Northern Pacific representatives claim
that 80 per cent of their lands within
the county are burned over, and not
valuable for other than grazing pur-
poses, and therefore are opposed to an
increase of their assessed valuation. If
such be the case it would seem advise
able on the part of the company to
throw their holdings on the market, as
many individuals throughout the county
are anxious to buy lands now withheld
from sale by the company. The N. P.
has not as yet shown any disposition to
combat the proposal to cruise and clas-
sify the lands of the county, but it
doubtless would prefer to have the
present system of guessing at valua-
tions continue. A cruise of the county
would increase the Northern Pacifc's
taxes in greater ratio than those of
any other corporation.

Forest Supervisor TO Canada

W. N. Millar and family left Tuesday
morning for Calgary, Alberta, where
Mr.. Millar enters the Canadian National
Forest Service, as chief inspector of
the Rocky Mountain Forest Reserve on
the east slope of the Rockies, having
about 10000 900 acres of timber land
under his control. The friends of Mr..
Millar and his wife sincerely regret
their departure, but are pleased over
the important position to which Mr..
Millar succeeds.
Mr.. Millar was Supervisor of the
Kaniksu National Forest, with head
quarters at Newport, for two years.
The Forest is now under the charge of
Acting Supervisor M. H. Wolff. The
successor to Mr.. Millar has notyet been
announced, although F. A. Silcox, di-
rector of the Missoula division of Ma
tlonal Forests, spent several days the
past week at the local office, but did not
give any intimation as to who tae ap-
pointee would be.

BIG MINING DEAL IS MADE
Bead Lake Company Secures
Promising Prospects.
Will Rush Development Work.

The biggest mining deal that has
been pulled off in the Newport mining
district in many years and one that
means much in the development Of the
district, was consummated this week,
the Bead Lake Mining Co. having Sc
cured the control of the Comstock
property and purchased the Key, Last
Chance, Montana and Idaho claims
from Harvey Mccullough, E. Alger
and James Dunlap. d. These claims are
located about eight miles north of
Newport on the east side of the river
During the past few months there
has been considerable work done on the
Key and showing made which is con-
vincing that they have struck at depth
the rich ledge of the adjoining Com
stock property. The Key tunnel is in
200 feet and is within so feet of the
Comstock line. These claims adjoin
the Mary Boone group of claims owned
b. the Bead Lake Mining Co.
The deal calls for something like
$25, 1000 and in addition the sellers re-
tain a stock interest, in the property.
There is substantial cash payment
and the agreement calls for continuous
work on the development of the prop
erty.
President Duklow and Secretary
Allen, of the Bead Lake Company,
have the assurance of ample funds to
C try out the contract and push the
work of development.
In the Newport district work has
been resumed on the Eagle mine, just
north of town, by A, L. Refs and his
associates. The Eagle, formerly known
as the Katydid, has had in the neigh
borhood of $40, 900 spent upon it by the
former management. Since Mr.. Reis
has relocated the property he has done
what work was possible with the linn
tied means at his command, and has en-
countered some very encouraging con-
ditions.
Shorty Peterkin is also credited with
having uncovered very promising
showing northeast of town.

more men of capital and experience in
mining have visited the Metaline min
ing district in the north end of Pend
Oreille county during the past six
months than have ever before seen the
distript during all of the 40 years that
the existence of mineral there has been
known.
The following from the News at Met
aline Falls indicates considerable ac-
tivity:
B. F. Bowen, of Rathdrum, and A.
E. Weltzin were in town this week, in
the interests of the Silver Lead mine.
They stated that they expect to do con-
siderable work this year, and will begin
as soon as possible. This property is
considered to be one of the good ones
of the camp, and further development
work may bring a rich strike. News
has also been received that the Oriole
is to start up at once, contract for a
large amount of drill work having been
let to Fred Davis, the president of the
company. The Oriole is one of the old
reliable mines and great confidence has
been expressed in the future. It has
labored under difficulties in that it has
been short of funds, but it's shipment
last summer was satisfactory, and it is
to be hoped that they will be able to do
enough work this season to put it on
good financial basis. There is notice
able stir among the holders of the other
properties in the Metaline camp, and
the coming summer is to be the most
important in it's history.
