Will contribute more toward making
Oroville a city of magnitude than any

mines there is nothing that can hold

FRIENDS OF LONG AGO.

/ Two old and well known Spokane
attorneys have been in Oroville this
week. acting as counsel in the Park
hurst case. The use of the word "old"
lis not indicative of decrepitude, it
lis merely a reference to the period the
gentlemen have been in harness. The
persons referred to are Dick NuZum
land Alex. Winston. We have known
them for so many years that we feel
Justified in abbreviating their front
handles. and thus familiarly mention
them as Dick and Alex, genial boys,
even if on the shady side of boyhood.
MR. Winston is son of the late bril-
liant though eccentric genius Patrick
Henry Winston. a name bringing up
pleasant memories, subdued by an all
too early filing of the last brief. This
young scion of the house of Winston
i've first knew as a most likeable lad
bin knickerbockers He possesses
more energy than the father, and has
inherited much of his ability. 1t
would be difficult for a Winston to be
a blank, if possessed of any ambition

The first hearing was held at san
Jose. Calf, last summer, and num-
ber of witnesses from Oroville We're
in attendance. This hearing was set
for Oroville as more convenient lor

scintallating array of legal talent en-

SMUGGLERS NABBED.

The revenue officers along the bor-
der We're recently given a pointer that
two men were working the smuggling
game running hides and furs across
the border into the state. Saturday
the officer at CheSaw nabbed the evad-
ers of the custom laws and they were
brought down to Oroville and turned
over to Deputy Collector of Customs
Jackman, who in turn put the men in
charge of Marshal Myers, who locked
them up in the town Jail. The pris-
Oners had an examination before U. S.
Commissioner Geo. J. Gardiner Mon
day evening. The men were brothers,
and gave in their names as Dan and
Lewis Roshkov, and claimed to be
buying for the Jas. Thiel Pacific Hide
and Fur house, of Spokane. The evil
dence was considered sufficient by the
presiding judge to hold the prisoners
for the arrival of a United States mar
shal. but on instructions from Spokane
the accused were discharged from GUS
tody upon bonds of 5000 each, which
seems a rather small amount consider
ing the nature of the crime. AS far as
could be ascertained by the officials
this was the second offense committed
by the Roshkov brothers, and for that
matter thep may be old hands at the
smuggling business.

IN THE SHIPPING CLASS,

That auto truck, No. /, of the Lake
View-Dividend mine is delivering ore
IN earnest while the roads have a solid
foundation. j. G. Bond, who twists
the wheel and guides the destiny OF
the big five ton car, is pushing its ca
paclty for getting over the ground be-
tween the mine and town to the limit
he is delivering to the side track for
shipment two car loads of ore a week.
Some days he makes three round trips,
which is not letting any grass grow
under the wheels. The smelter re-
turns must come up to the expectation
OF the operators or the steady stream
of raw material would cease coming
into town. The single truck is doing
yoeman service. yet 1t is possible that
the company will arrange to greatly
increase the output and consequently
the shipments. That such procedure
mas been in contemplation is proved
by the fact that the company has an
option on three or four more trucks
OF equal capacity to the one now in
commission. The one in use carries
the suggestive sign mo. l." which
would indicate that there is to be Nos.
2, 3 and so on. Mr. Bond has no
fears as to continuous operations
through the winter. Ice and snow will
not hinder running. 1t is mud that is
his terror, and there is little danger
that mud will interfere with wheeling
until late in February. With the rec
ord 1t is making of shooting two car
loads of ore a week smeltward one is
justified in placing the Lake View
Dividend in the shipping class. and
this is the first time up this way that
mine has reached a position to be
listed in that class.

MORE MINING.

Ed. kolb. of Fond du Lac, Wis, ar
rived in Oroville Friday last. This is
not Mr.. kOlb's first visit to this part
OF the west. He is interested in the
Ellemeham mining property the old
Nighthawk mine. near Nighthawk, and
is out here for the purpose of renew
ing work at the mine. He is familiar
with the property, as he carefully ex-
amined 1t in former years and be-
lieves that porperly handled some
thing can be made of the old mine. His
present plan is to sink a single CON-
partment shaft on the ledge, and ii
the mineral character of the ore i'm
proves, to enlarge the shaft to a
double compartment capacity. He has
purchased hoist to be used at the
shaft. Mr.. KOlb is not a mining ex-
sart. but a conservative. level-headed,
careful business man, who has made a
success In his private business ven
lures. He does not believe in start
ing mining with red fire and clash of
cymbals. He is not engaged in the
present work to attract attention to
himself. or to work up an excitement
in order to sell stock on commission.
His purpose is to personally superin-
tend the expenditure of the means en-
trusted to him. see that it is invested
in the legitimate purpose of securing
the best results, and with the single
aim of making mine if the material
is in the ground out of which mines
are made. 1t is the proper system to
follow, and had the same plans been
carried out in the earlier days of the
history of this county by this time
there would have been paying mines
in the country, if the ore is here to
make paying mines and everybody
cOnversant with conditions believes
there is. Furthermore, recent devel-
opments are proving that mines can
be made, and with little more prog
ress along the lines now being fol-
lowed mining will become an import
ant industry in this part of the state
Mr.. Kolb proposes doing his part to-
ward fastening the day when output
ting mines will be the rule in northern
Okanogan county, and hopes to put
the Ellemeham in the list. Anyhow,
his present efforts will go long way
toward demonstrating the value of
that property as mineral producer.
and the stockholders in the east, who
have long suffered from deferred
hope. will watch proceedings with a
great deal of interest.

GUARDING THE CHILDREN.

The little Brooks girl who was taken
down with an attack of diptheria
last week has almost entirely recov-
cred, and as no new cases have de-
veloped it is hoped that this single
case is the last of the dread disease.
Health Officer DR.. Elmer applied anti
toxin, which worked with marvellous
efficiency. Every precaution was TAX
en- to prevent further infection. The
school rooms were thoroughly disin-
fected, and DR.. Elmer examined and
sprayed the throats of all the children.
He will keep a careful watch so that
should other cases develop they can be
taken and treated in time. So far as
the safety of children is concerned
they are far better off in school than
on the streets, for in school they are
constantly watched and any symtom of
illness would be Immediately discov-
cred and precautions taken, while on
the streets the disease might get firm
ly established before the parents
would notice that anything was wrong.
