GREAT STRIKE
AT ELK CITY
Mrs. PARIS Mine, Colonel
Sellers, Proving a
Wonder.

The recent report of a marvel
ously rich strike at Elk City on
the mining property owned by
Mrs. NJ. A. Parr is fully confirm
ed by the Mining News of that
place. which pronounces it "The
biggest strike ever made in cen
trail Idaho" Continuing the
News says:
Work has so far progressed on
the new strike on the Colonel Sci
lers claim of the Mineral Zone
group, owned by Mrs. Nj. A. Parr
as to dispel all doubt as to its
magnitude.
The vein has been opened fur
ther to the west, and 260 feet
of the ore shoot is now exposed.
This ore shoot pans the entire
length, and pans very big.
In the last cut that has been
opened the ore is harder and less
Oxidized, but seeeems to be of a
higher grade.
1t is the consensus of opinion
that this is the largest and most
extensive ore shoot ever opened
IN Central Idaho. There may
have been shoots opened that in
places would pan as good, but it
must be taken into consideration
that this vein has been stripped
and ore taken out, that has been
milled, and that the mill returns
show it to be very high grade
At present they are still taking
out ore to be sent to the Reduc-
tion plant, and in the last cut
made, it is expected that the ore
will mill considerably more than
formerly. 1t may not plate much
more, but the concentrates will
be of higher grade. The entire
vein is taken, from wall to wall,
and from assays and paintings
there seems to be very little diff
ference in the values of the en-
tire width.
The Mineral Zone group has
one of the finest bodies of mining
timber in this section, and is
well situated for economical
work, aside from the fact that it
is sinking proposition.

STOCK WINTERED WELL.

George Behean, Seth Jones and
c. j. Hall, prominent stockmen
of the Salmon river country, are
in town this week. Stock is COM
ing through winter in good shape
in that country Notwithstanding
the heavy snow fall on the high
er points. The sheepmen say
they expect as good a wool clip
as that of last year, or probably
better. Some sheep were taken
from the Sallpon river range to
the Clearwater range short
time ago and they were in first
class condition. Last year, on ac
count of the late rains and shear
ers being scarce, some sheep were
not clipped until after July 1
but this year the sheepmen ex-
pect to be through shearing by
June |. They are corresponding
with shearers and expect to have
enough here to handle the clip
in first class style. An average
eve raised lamb and sheared
9 pounds of wool last year and
the sheepmen state that they will
do as well or possibly better this
year.

LEG BADLY CRUSHED.

John Stephens, one of the pro-
prietors of the Grangeville Dray
company, met with serious acei-
dent last Saturday afternoon
while unloading machinery at the
Free Press office. They were un-
loading a job press from the dray
when John slipped and the heavy
machine struck him knocking him
backwards and catching his right
leg with its full weight crushing
the bone just above the ankle. It
is a serious injury, but had the
machine not knocked him back
wards, it would have been much
more so.

that he has begun an energetic
campaign against sin at Standpoint

ENCOURAGES
BOAT SERVICE
C.J. Hall, Salmon River Stock
Man Says Boat Can
Make it Pay.

Z. j. Hall who was in the
Lewiston-Clarkston country for
several weeks investigating the
practicabllity of boat up the Sal.
mon river to the vicinity of
White Bird, arrived in Grange
VILE Monday night on his return
trip. Mr.. Hall reaffirms his fol-
loving recent interview with the
Tribune:
The boat being built by Gro
Yer & MacFarlane, of Asotin, for
the upper Snake river service is
more substantial craft than
expected to find, and | believe
1t will solve the problem for pro-
vldlng transportation facilities
for the big country tributary to
the upper river This state
ment was made yesterday after
noon by Charles j. Hall, the well
known Snake river stockman, af-
ter he had returned from Asotin,
where he went to inspect the
Glover & MacFarlane craft now
under course of construction.
Mr.. Halls ranch is at Pitts
burg. Landing, about seventy
miles above Lewiston, and he de-
cided upon making a visit to
Asotin after learning that the
Asotln firm was taking steps to
build boat of sufficient dimen-
slons and power to give such a
service as would warrant upper
river residents depending upon it
for handling of their supplies and
outgoing shipments.
AS the result of Mr.. Halls in
vestigation, he states he will ar
range for shipment of supplies
to his ranch by the new boat.
The boat will go into service
about the middle of April and
Mr.. Hall states his shipment will
be available after that date--that
if it reaches his ranch by June,
the date would be early enough.
The shipment will include some
lumber and a list of general sup
plies. "Should the trip be made
successfully" said Mr.. Hall, that
will be a sufficient demonstra-
ton to me that reliable facilities
will be provided for handling
the down river business and | will
arrange to have my wool ship
ments brought out by the river
route. If this step is taken, we
will be able, in fact, to have our
wool go direct to Boston by the
all-water route, the transfer to be
made to the open river boats at
Lewiston, the shipments then go
ing to Portland to be transfer
red to the ocean-going craft.
We have figured it out that we
can save at least cent a pound
freight by the water route to the
Boston market. Under present
conditions we take our wool to
New Meadows on the p. 4 |. y.
road and the rate per car of 30
900 pounds from that point to
Chicago to 5000. It is relief
from conditions like this that
prompts us to look TO the river
route.
Mr.. Hall said that in the Vi
cinity Of Pittsburg landing, he be
lieved that there were ten peo-
pie who could almost guaranteed
the boat line $4,000 worth of busi-
ness a year. while this would be
but a small part of the business
available from the big country
tributary to the river. Mr.. Hall
will take back to the residents
Of the upper river "A good report
relative to the Asotin boat and
he feels that the service is to be
in the hands of practical men
who will make success Of the
enterprise.

PLENTY MONEY.
WILL HE BUILD
Welch Raises $1O,OOO,OOO-
Likely be Used for Con-
structing Prairie Road.

The indications grow stronger
each day that there is going to
be something doing soon in the
Salmon river and Camas Prairie
countries in the way of electric
power development and road
building that will revolutionize
conditions throughout this Sec
ton, and the encouraging signs
are hailed with joy by all.
The latest is a lengthy article
in the Eugene (Oregon) Guard,
in commenting on which the Lew
iston- Tribune says
One of the important matters
brought to light is the fact that
Mr.. Welch has recently mort
gagged his Willamette valley and
southwestern Washington prop
critics for $1O,0O0,OOO and the en-
terprises now being carried on
will not call for an expenditure
OF more than one-half Of this
sum.
A copy of the mortgage was
recently filed at Eugene, the coun
ty seat of Lane county and the
opinion prevails that the funds
to carry to completion the devel-
opment of the Salmon river elec-
trical project at Horseshoe Bend
In Idaho are provided in this
mortgage. AT the time the filings
were made, statement was made
that the development of the
power project would be commenc-
ed within the next ninety days.
Mr.. Welch is now engaged in
the construction of an electric
line from Albany to Corvallis,
Monroe, Eugene and Elmira and
will serve the big timber dis
trict in the upper Sinslaw coun-
try.
The surveys made on the Sal
mon river show a possibility of
125,OO0 horse power at an esti-
mated cost of $3,000,000, this sum
also providing for the electrical
equipment. 1t is believed in some
quarters that Mr.. Welch is now
working in conjunction with the
Hartman lines and that portions
of the Hartman main line rail,
road will be operated by cleo
trical power.
In Lewiston and throughout the
prairie country the impression
prevails that Mr.. Welch is asso-
ciated with u. A. johnson, the
builder of the Nezperce road in
his projects and that the plan
is to build electric lines not only
serving the prairie country, but
also providing road by way of
Waha that will connect the prairie
system with the open river at
Lewiston. 1t is also believed
that time will disclose that the
Welch interests now control all
the electric lighting projects serv-
ing the field east of Lewiston.

was removed the fellow shut his
mouth like trap and refused a word
in answer to the lieutenant's demands
and persuasions.
Stubborn BRUTE" growled Couch.
Most of these animals here belong to
some devlish tong or other, and they'd
rather die than say anything touching
on the business of the society or af-
fecting the interests of a brother
member. But think know a way to
bring him to reason. Hand me that
knife, please"
Wondering, ORourke rendered him
the weapon that had brought death to
Sypher. The lieutenant wiped it cal
1ously on a corner of the coolies
blouse and held the keen shining
blade before his eyes, accompanying
the action with a few emphatic
phrases. A curious expression, COM
pounded of sullen fury and abject pan
ic fright, showed in the Chinaman's
eyes, and his lips were as if by magic
unsealed. However reluctant, he be-
gan to chatter and spoke at length,
delivering himself of a long state
ment which Couch punctured now and
again with pertinent, leading ques-
tons.
At length, throwing aside the knife,
he jumped up, strong excitement burn
ing in his eyes. 1--we got enough from
him." he said rapidly. 'Tll explain
later. You'll help-of course; your
wife's involved as we'll as Miss Pyn-
sent. But l don't think you need fear;
We'll be in time. Are you ready? .
Half minute; I've got to use
that telephone"
He ran out into the hall, rang up
and shouted a number into the re-
ceiver, and for a few moments spoke
rapidly in Burmese dialect.
O'Rourke gathered that he was speak
ing with a native subordinate at the
police headquarters in Rangoon.
Couch swung back into the study.
Got those revolvers, sir? Then come
along; We'll have to run for It, For
tunately our launch is handy; other
wise
He sprang across the veranda and
down to the lawn, O'Rourke pelting
after him.

CHAPTER XxxV.

In after days, when he was alto
gether we'll and whole, they journeyed
forth, these two, the man and his
wife, from Rangoon northward. The
railway carried them some distance;
later they struck off with their train
into the primitive wilderness beyond
the ultimate British OutpOstS on the
Chindwine, main tributary to the Ir.
rawaddy.
The land was peaceful, hospitab BILE
and very, very lovely in its wilder
ness. Their happiness was ecstasy:
By day they rode through Jungle
wood and rolling uplands, or less east
ly through the Businesses of the hills,
side by side, thought linked to
thought, their hearts attuned. By
night their camps were pitched in a
new-found world of beauty, wonderful
in it's shadowy mystery.

Buddha, who squatting cross-legged
upon a pedestal, looked through the
incense-scented gloom ceaselessly for

The figure, carven originally from
stone, had been so heavily plastered
with gold-leaves by the devout, that
now 1t had all the semblance of being
gold to it's core; and, lavishly deco
rated with necklaces and bracelets of
rare jewels set in crusted gold, In the
evening glow it shone like some great
lamp of holiness. Only its face was

Der of a dozen Followed MIN, swarm
ing over the decks. Couch reeled to,
wards them, babbling orders and in
structions.
The second launch had arrived.
Sick and faint, O'Rourke sloucfIed
back against the rail, watching with
lack-luster eyes the end of the chap
ter. 1t was simple to the point of
seeming farcical in comparison with
that which preceded it. The dazed and
now outnumbered Chinese offered no
further resistance. Disarmed and put
under guard, they disappeared from
his consciousness, while he watched
the men from the second launch,
spurred by Couch, scatter in search of
the abducted women.
Loss Of blood was beginning to tell
upon him; his strength seemed alto

the wide, shadowy reaches of the riv-
er. But the mystical distances con-
fused and eluded him. The launch
seemed to move, painting, in an abyss
of night. She made little noise: a
hiss of water beneath her stem; the
steady humming Of the motor, throt-
tied down to half speed; the mufled
gasping of the exhaust. And present
ly even these ceased at a word from
Couch, and the launch moved only
with the tide.
Abruptly towering wall of opaque
black rose out of the darkness to
starboard. O'Rourke braced himself
for the imminent instant of action,
poised so lightly upon his toes and
fingertips that swell from a moving
vessel would have thrown him or
his balance, perhaps overheard. The
launch closed swiftly and silently in
upon the black wall; it lowered over
him like cliff: far above he could

gether gone; bis wits buzzed in his
head like a swarm of gnats. He
grasped his support convulsively, be-
ginning to appreciate how seriously
he was hurt. He heard as from great
distance thin, faint cries of men shout
ing in triumph; saw Couch, a pygmy
shape, holding in his arms a doll who
wore the face of Miss Pynsent. Then
of a sudden he was conscious of a
woman Fastening toward him, a fan,
tastic and incongruous figure in a din
ner-gown, her skirts trailing in the
slime of the shambles, her arms out
held to him; and knew her for his
wife.
He essayed to speak, but could not.
He felt her arms close about him. In
the face of the searchlight's penetrat,
ing and undertaking glare, night
closed down upon him.
