L. d. Williams started into Florence
with heavy freight for the new placer
and hydraulic mining operations now
being conducted ON the property form
erly owned by the indefatigable pros
pector, 8. A. Moon, who has been
a stanch old standby in that old camp.
The scene Of the new venture is at the
falls Of Meadow creek, some distance
below the old town Of Florence, where
the best diggings of modern times are
disclosed, and about 10000 pounds Of
freight will be hauled in this summer
and fall.
Many Of the old buildings in the orig
inal town of Florence are still stand
ing, although in sadly dilapidated
condition, but new buildings are being
erected, and it appears that this old
time camp is about to take on q new
lease Of life, both in placer and quartz
mining operations.
Work is also to be resumed ON the
Gilt Edged quartz claims, owned by
Dan Dunn, and much equipment il
now enroute. Mr.. Williams will haul
100 cords of wood to the mine for use
during the coming fall and winter. A
ditch, five miles in length has been re-
Gently constructed which brings in wa
ter from French creek to the old town,
and will furnish an abundant supply
of water for all milling and domestic
purposes, besides furnishing water for
washing much ground which is known
to be rich, but which has never been
worked before on account of the scar
city of water. Florence was in the ear
ly days the scene of one Of the great
est mining excitements in the history
Of the Pacific northwest, and its plac-
ers were the richest ever discovered and
yielded many millions of dollars in the
early sixties, and led to the first set
tlement of Camas Prairie. The name
Of Florence is still one to conjure with
and those who have prospected there
are familiar with the fact that untold
millions Of gold still remain to be un
earthed by modern scientific mining
methods.
Florence is at the back door of Grow
ing Grangeville, and the new develop
ments mean much to the town anC
/ tributary country.

THE TOWN OF CARIBEL.
Kamiah Man Tells About the Little
Known Town.

From the Kamiah paper we clip the
following interesting account of the
town of Caribel, place located in one
of the coming sections of Idaho county.
The correspondent of the Kamiah paper
says:
Not having visited Caribel before in
three years, and thinking that some Of
the surprising changes which have ia
prise many of your readers and inter
est them as well, l venture to write a
little of improvements which have
sprung up here in an incredibly short
time, since the purchase OF the property

pany. At the time of my visit here in
| 1909, after tedious climb up the hill
of 1900 hundred feet, we found only a
small stocked store and mill owned then
by E. Andrew and both standing in the
midst of heavy timber, with a school
house nearly completed; this was all of
Caribel. This time the ascent up the
hill was made by auto which we found
a much easier and more pleasant me-
thod than with team. On our arrival
what change met the eye. The tim

THE CITY ELECTION.

This is the big" year in city poli- tics. SO termed from the fact that the office of mayor is filled together with the other city offices. An important duty therefore rests with the repubu- cans or the city of Norwich, at the coming election. which falls on the third Of June. The opportunity is pre- scented the republican party to regain control of the city government after a period of two years. during which the people have tired of the rule of the opposing party and seek a change.
 Norwich is normally a republican city and the party caucus has unani- mously placed before the electors a ticket which is calculated 10 return the party Co power if there is united ac- lion. The republican city ticket is made up Of weil-known men who can be relied upon Go give the city a busi- ness-llke administration They have rhe welfare of Norwich at heart and being successful men of affairs they are properly equipped to represent the municipality in the conduct of it's bus iness. lt is not one-man ticket but sell balanced throughout
 As the candidate for mayor, Gilbert l. Hewitt has been a man in public life and with political experience for many years He has held the import ant office Of county commissioner and served in the court of common council He enjoys the confidence of his party and will command a large vote from the democratic voters
 The next two years will be important ones ia the city's affairs. with the numerous civic improvements pro- 5ected and likely To follow from its determination to expand. Men of good judgment should be selected by the voters to look after their interests To gain the control of the council every member must be elected. This the re- pubiicans can do by getting out the entire vote and uniting in the support Of their nominees.
