SNOW CREEK WATER co
BUSY BUILDING FLUME
Over Two Miles of Flume Completed
Five Miles More Will Bring it Close
to Town

In the past six weeks, or since work
work was resumed on the Snow Creek
Water Co.'s fume line, over two miles
OF flume has been completed and ten
men and two teams are employed on
it now and will be from this time on.
The water will be brought from the
intake on Snow Creek, a distance oil
eight and half miles from Leaven-
worth all the way in lume, which is
very substantially and solidly construct
ed, resting on the ground almost the
entire distance, very little trestling
having been found necessary, so that
interruption to the line are not likely.
Mr.. Beecher the secretary and gen.
eral manager Of the company says ne
expects to have water down to point
south and about a mile from town this
fall. The company has oyer a hall
million feet of flume lumber stacked
up at the Mountain Home ranch,
where its saw mill is located. The
saw mill is to resume operations this
week, as much more fume lumber in
addition to that on hand will be re-
quired.
The past week splenid wagon road
was constructed from the saw mill to a
high mountain on the south side of
the Icicle canyon from which point the
lumber to construct the fume up the
canyon will be hauled on cars which
have been ordered for this special pur-
pose. The bed Of the fume will be
constructed and the track laid thereon
as the work progresses.
From the point where the hume en-
tiers the canyon, which is fully two
thousand feet above the Icicle river
and $500 above Leavenworth, mag
nifcent view of the upper Wenatchee
valley can be had. 1t is worth trip
to get this view, which can now be
made the entire distance in vehicle.

will again see as strong an aggregation
as they had this year. The owners of
the baseball park have become dis
gusted with the whole affair and have
decided to subdivide the tract into city
lots and place it on the market early
in the spring.
The ball players will receive their
monthly stipend this week and most of
them will hike for the coast country.
Kelchner and Miller have had offers
from the Northwestern League and it
is likely that the former will join the
Vancouver team and Miller will be-
come a member of the Spokane team
under Joe Cohn.

NEW HIGHWAY
ASSOCIATION FORMED
Known as Scenic Highway Association
Formed in Everett This Week

An organization to be known as the
Scenic Highway Association which
will work toward the securing Of a
trunk road over the Cascade noun
tains by way Of Leavenworth and over
the abandoned switch back of the
Great Northern Railway was formed in
Everett Wednesday.
Geo. Startup of Startup, Wash, was
chosen as President, L. H. Titchenal
of Cashmere, vice-president, and W..
w. Baird of the Everett Commercial
Club, secretary and treasurer.
J. B. Adams, Of this city, is one of
the twenty-five trustees. Other trus-
tees representing North Central Wash
ington are John A. Gellatly and Capt.
S. W. Usher, of Wenatchee; DR.. 1. S.
Harold, of Soap Lake; A. L. Rogers,
Of Waterville; Arthur A. Woods, OF
Monitor; L. H. Titchenal, of Cash
mere and A. Prosser, of Scenic. From
the larger cities prominent citizens
were chosen as trustees, A. ]. Blethen,
Jr., associate editor of the Seattle
Daily Times, being the Queen City's
representative.
The Association will give out men,
bership cards at 81, and with the
card furnish banner to be used on
automobiles and other vehicles.
Every resident OF the valley is in
terested in this movement which is
bound to mean a great deal to the
Wenatchee Valley and should become
a member Of the association.
The counties thru which the road
passes will furnish portion OF the
money necessary to construct the
highway and the state will be asked to
make an appropriation to cover the
balance Of the expense. Prominent
good roads enthusiasts all over the
state are taking an unusual amount ol
interest in the proposed road and it is
believed that within few months the
construction of the same will be prac-
! tically assured.

Working on the South Side Road

A reporter for the Echo met Messrs.
Oberg and Wieland one day the past
week, civil engineers employed by the
Columbia Engineering and construc-
ton Co., which company has the con-
tract to build the south side road.
They said the road when completed,
would not only be the finest scenic
stretch OF road but the best road in
Chelan county. They stated that the
contract called for the completion of
the road by the first of September, but
that it would probably be completed
fifteen days sooner.

Another Fruit Warehouse at PeShastin

At recent meeting Of the Fruit
Growers Association Of Peshastin it was
decided to build a warehouse of suffi-
cient dimensions to accommodate the
apples of the members of the associa-
ton. Whether it will be built Of brick
or concrete has not been decided, but
it will probably be built Of concrete.
1t will have full basement with the
upper floor on a level with freight cars
to facilitate loading. Work will begin
soon and the building rushed to COM
pletion in order to have it ready for
this falps crop which promises to be a
record breaker in the valley surround
ing Peshastin.

Railroad Rumblings

w. E. D. Stokes, station inspector
was here Wednesday making call on
the local agent F. M. Lee.
F. M. Lee, agent and L. w. Wood
row terminal agent were in Spokane
Sunday at meeting Of the railroad
officials. They report a most enjoy
able time.
Nine coaches, filled with colored
soldiers from Fort Wright, passed thru
Tuesday forenoon on their way to Fort
Lawton, where they are being trans
ferred.
Parlor car service on the Oriental
Limited and Train No. 4, between Sc
attic and Spokane, was established last
Saturday. This is especially for hand
ling the Spokane and Seattle local bus
mess.
Mark Bartlett was in town one day
this week. He said Mr.. Sussex, a
civil engineer who resides at Peshastin
has surveyed the Mt. Stuart Mining
Co.'S property and has made plans for
the tram which the company intends
to install at an early date.
The excursion rates of fare and
one-third to the Golden Potlatch in
Seattle will go into effect Sunday and
last until the 22nd of July. The big
show in Seattle is arousing much in
terest and indications are that large
crowd of local people will be in atten-
dance.
Hagan Anderson, Office man for
Roadmaster Nichols of the Cascade
Division, an old time railroader on the
G. N. was here Wednesday and said
much work is now being done on his
division. The old steel rails between
the summit and Skykomish have been
replaced with the heaviest kind Of new
rails. He also said all the sidings be-
tween Leavenworth and the tunnel
were being heightened to accommo-
date the longer trains now hauled over
the mountains. The greatest difficulty
the company has is to get men. In
some places where ten men are re-
quired only two are on the job.
Engineer Sam Vanderwest an odd
timer" and we'll known in this city was
here several days the first of the week.
Sam says about the 10th Of August he
is going to take four months lay-off
and visit relatives in the old country.
He intends to be absent until about
the 1st Of December, and says he in
tends to visit all the places in Europe
that are worth seeing, especially Monte
Carlo where he is going to take flyer
and try to break the Bank. Eight
years ago Mr.. Vanderwest started out
with a good sized roll with the inten-
tions of going to Europe. But got no
farther than New York. On going to
bed one evening which happened to
be the day before the boat sailed he
forgot to take the 'roll' to bed with
him and the next morning when he
awoke it was gone, Maybe you think
it wasn't some tough to find yourself
alone in that burg with only 65 cents
says Sam" But the IS cents paid for
kilograms back TO Leavenworth and
some very good friends hearing Of his
dilemma wired him money to come on.
In less than two weeks Sam was back
on the job saving up another stake.
He has finally got it, and worked eight
years for it too, and as Sam draws down
a 5000 check every month, it is safe
to say that he will be pretty well loaded
with the long green, when he starts,
and no son-of-a-gun is going to get
this roll, says Samuel.

It is estimated that the returns tc

RESUMPTION OF MINING
AT THE BLEWETT CAMP
New Company Has Taken Hold and
Will Employ Large Force of Men

F. S. Earnest, who has made mining
his occupation for more than twenty
years, in this country and Old Mexico,
dropped into the Echo Office one day
this week to say that he with others
had formed company under the name
of the Consolidated Gold Mines and
Refining Co., with capitalization OF
100000, one dollar per share, and
had acquired all but about six thou
sand shares of the Golden Eagle Co.,
whose property is located at Blewett,
and five years lease and bond of the
rights, title and interests OF the Blew
EFT Mine Leasing Co., which latter
company holds lease on all the prop
erty of the old Meteor Mining Co.,
located at Blewett.
On the Golden Eagle property there
! is a practically new six stamp mill
which will at once be increased to
twelve. A new cyaniding plant has
already been installed and on this
property three shifts, Of eight men in
each shift. will be put to work at once.
In the old Blewett mill there are
twenty stamps and a cyanide plant.
The mill and the cyanide plant will be
overhauled and as soon as this work is
completed, says Mr.. Earnest, twenty
four men divided into three shifts will
be employed.
c. A. Corey is president of the
company and F. S. Earnest vice presi-
dent and general manager. R. W. A.
Simmons is the fiscal agent of the COM
pany. The Offices of the company are
located in the White Block, in Seattle.
There prevails widespread opinion
that all the Blewett mines need to
make them profitable is capable and
honest management. The camp has
suffered from incompetence and graft
in the past ten years to such an extent
that the general public has lost conf
dence in any thing that emanates from
that once lively and gold producing
camp. The loss OF faith is due more
to the graft, rottenness and reckless
management connected with opera
tions at Blewett for the past ten years
than to the real merit of the property.
Mining men everywhere are earnestly
hoping that the parties who have now
undertaken to operate the principal
properties in that camp know their
business and mean to pursue it with
understanding and an intention to work
the mines for ore rather than the pub
lie for stock subscriptions. The Ha-
zeltine crowd paid out more money for
selling stock than it ever did for de
veloping the mine. The president of
the company once told the writer that
Mr.. Hazeltine subjected himself to
federal prosecution for sending false
statements thru the mail about what
was being done on the property. Any
thing that c. R. Hazeltine is con-
nected with is open to suspicion and
the public is hereby warned to look
out for him. He belongs to the class
OF which c. D. Hillman is one.
The operations Of the Consolidated
Gold Mines and Refining Co. will be
watched. If it deserves commenda-
ton it will not be withheld. If, like
other parties who have been connected
with mining at Blewett for the past ten
years, it is only a scheme to sell stock
and graft the public it will receive the
kind Of advertising not relished by
those who have designs on the public.

All bills were audited by the finance
committee and the clerk instructed to
draw warrants for the payment of the
same.
The street lighting contract between
the city and the Tumwater Light &
Water Co. was read but as it did not
meet the approval Of Mr.. Adams presi-
dent OF the company who was present,
it was decided to lay the matter over
until the next regular meeting night
July 10th when a few minor changes
could be made.
The $1,000 bond Of the Tumwater
Light & Water Co. given for the pur-
pose OF protecting the city against
damages that might occur by reason
of their operations on the streets was
read and approved.
A petition asking for street lights
on the corner of Commercial and 18th
streets was read, but as the contract
between the city and the lighting COM
pany had not been accepted the Pc
tition was tabled until the next reg
ular meeting.
As the city is very much in need
of safe to keep the books and papers
in, Mayor Carlquist appointed Coun-
Gilman Weigand, Campbell and Shu-
bert as a committee to look into the
matter and report at the following
meeting.
Postmatter ]. c. Davis addressed
the coucil in regard to installing sew
ers on the north side OF the track and
especially that section near the Fire
mems Hall, where he says the railroad
men are putting in basement and
making other improvements. The ma
iority of residents in that district are
favorable to a sewer system, says Mr.
Davis and in view Of the many other
improvements that are being made in
different portions of the city, it was
no more than right that the council
take some action on the question,
which he termed as the burning is
sue." After a lengthy discussion it
was decided that the whole town
should be severed eliminating those
portions where there are now private
sewers and the city attorney was in
structed to prepare resolution for the
installing Of the same and get facts and
figures from city engineer Brown as 10
the cost of the proposed system.
The next and last matter to be ta-
ken up was the municipal water ques-
ton.
Engineer Brown was present and
submitted the plans and estimates for
the two systems which are now under
consideration by the council.
Gravity supply system $28, ,9o0.OO
Pumping supply system 81, 90
Complete distribution sys-
According to these figures the COM
plete system using the gravity supply
would cost in the neighborhood ol
$4,000. BY using the pumping sys-
tenn he believes that from six to eight
thousand dollars might be saved, but
saws there is no comparison between
the two systems and advises the coun-
ci. to adopt the gravity plan. To fur
ther discuss the water question the
council met Wednesday to go over the
plans more thoroughly. At next reg
ular meeting definite plans are likely
to be announced.
