Bank Closes.

On last Friday morning the
Elk City Bank closed their doors
and posted the notice, that this
institution is in the hands of. the
bank commissioner" The clos
ing of the bank is severely felt
by the creditors, some of whom
had their little all on deposit.
Nothing definite can be learned
until the arrival of V. w. Platt,
bank commissioner, and an ex-
animation of the assets can be
made. 1t is understood that the
liabilities are very small, and the
closing was the result Of not be
ing able to realize on some loans

Whims of Parrots.

"It is odd," said the bird store
keeper, "but it is true, how people
come into aibird store and expect to
open up conversation with a parrot
offhand. They fail and then make up
their mind that the parrot is worthless.
This will apply to majority of seekers
after a talking parrot. They do net
give the bird credit for the sense it
actually possesses. There are parrots
valued at anywhere from $50 to $500
that will not be coaxed into conversa-
tion with a stranger nor while he is
present, although they ares the very
best of takers. Parrots often refuse
to perform when there are purchasers
looking on, but once the store is clear
of them they will chatter away through
their whole vocabulary as if their very
lives depended on their being heard.
This obstinacy often spoils good sales.
Most parrots will talk to a girl or wo-
man much quicker and freer thansto a
boy or man."-Browning' Monthly.

Lewiston Normal.

President Black has just an
nounced that the second semester
will open at the Lewiston Normal
on Monday, January %. AS
courses are now arranged it is
possible for students to enter
either in September, November,
January or March, for practi-
cally all courses are on a ten
weeks basis. Students who en-
ter at the beginning of this
second semester will be able to
pursue the same course that
they would have taken had. they
entered in September. This, ar
rangement is a very satisfactory
one as it enables students to
enter at almost any time of the
year and they miss no essential
work.

The Line Of Life.

The line Of life curves from the side
of the hand between the thumb and
forefinger around the base Of the
thumb to the center Of the wrist joint
According to chiromancy tthe pretend
ed art Of judging the character and
foretelling the fortune of a person from
the aspect of the hand, if this line IN
the left palm is regular and deeply col
ored i+ predicts long and happy life;
tortuous, colorless, feebly marked and
broken it announces i'll health and
short life; narrow. but long and well
colored, 1t indicates wisdom and in
genuity; broad and pale it is a sign Of
folly; deep and unequally colored it
denotes malice.-New York Telegram.

Finally Lost Il.

81 may have lost my golf ball,
thought the old man as he crept on all
fours round the bush into which it had
rolled, t'but 1 will not lose my temper"
SO he continued to grovel and grope
and to wear a persuasive, patient
smile, His knees .bagged. his back
ached horribly, and the bush bestowed
upon his hands a generous quantity
Of thorns. But he refused to discard
his smile and kept on repeating:
"No;7I will not lose my temper.
will not"
Suddenly the elusive ball caught his
eye. Flopping fiat, he stretched his
hands toward it, grasped it among its
nest of thorns and gingerly with
drew it.
"Hoity-toity?' exclaimed an old wo
man behind him. "You ought to be
ashamed, bird nesting at your time OF
lifep.
And then he did lose his temper

planned.
Everyone engaged or interest
ed in the industry, whether as
prospector, operator, mining en-

body will be given an opportunity

!, Clever Paris Reqqars. .

Begging is forbidden Oh the Paris
boulevards., But one day recently
pale, poorly .; dressed man was seen
humbly approaching various ..pedes-
trians. He was evidently not used to
begging, and as he told his pathetic
story without the requisite bcldness

man dressed in black, stepped up to
him and showed him card. He. car

NOW, then. get out of this or I'll
run you in,". he said roughly. Then
in a lower tone, "Poor chap!' and fur
lively he gave the man some silver.
People had. seen him do it, and
cheering the kind hearted policeman
they, too, gave to the poor beggar. A
few minutes afterward in a side street
the two men divided the spoils and
moved off separately to ply their trade
elsewhere. The detective wasn't g

Idaho Leads in Wheat
Production.

A supplement of the Crop Re-
porter, published at Washington,
D. c., for December, by the
Secretary of Agriculture, shows
that Idaho exceeded all states in
1911 in the average, production
of wheat per acre; was second in
the production per acre of barley,
tied with Maine in the produc-
tion of potatoes per acre, and is
fourth in the production of oats
per acre.
The Reporter gives the Idaho
average of wheat production per
acre as 30.7 bushels, the totaI
acreage being $4,000, acres, as
against 472, 900 for 1910.

Reported Lost.

Geo. w. Otterson, a we'll
known ..trapper and prospector,
is reported lost in the mountains,
somewhere on the Shoup trail.
Otterson left Shoup for Dixie
sometime in October, and nothing
has been heard. of him since.
Those acquainted with Otterson,
are of the opinion that he was
too familiar with the country tc
get caught, and has gone owe,

e. Ostriches and Their Equs,

A singular thing about ostriches is
the way they bring up their babies.
To begin with, there are good many
eggs in the nest dug out of the hot
sand, but the eggs were laid by diff
ferent mothers. Ostriches do not lay
eggs every day, and, being far apart,
they would not hatch together. When
the nest is prepared, therefore, all the
ladies in the neighborhood are invited
to contribute an egg apiece, the hostess
returning the favor in due time. =,
Ostrich eggs are delicious. One
weighs three pounds, or is equal to a
dozen of a hens. They are very con-
venient, too, for the hunters in the
desert. They not only furnish a de-
lightful meal, but a dish to cook in.
The shell is hard and thick, and the
egg is set on the fire, a hole is broken
In the top, 1t is stirred with a stick,
and when it is done the saucepan
serves as dish as well.-New York
Tribune

BLUE GROUSE
IN GOOD ORE
Orogrande Property Shows
UP with Work.

Word was received from a re-
liable source that in doing de-
velopment work on the Blue
Grouse claims, situated near the
Umatilla, in the Orogrande dis
trict, that a large body of high
grade sulphide ore has been en-
countered. No assays have as
yet been made, but the ore is of
a character that leaves no doubt
of it's value.
The Blue Grouse is on the
same vein as the Umatilla, and
is a very strong showing, and is
opened by several surface cuts
and shallow tunnels.

Spokane Mining Convention

The publicity committee of the
Northwest Mining Convention,
to be held at Spokane, February
Is to II, has issued a neat folder
outlining the scope of the con-
vention work to be undertaken
by the delegates, from which we
gather the following interesting
information:
1t is declared to be the purpose
of the meeting to provide the
means for a exchange of ideas
upon the subject of mining, to
secure the greatest possible CO.
operation among those engaged
in the business: to take up and
act upon proposed legislation,
and to revive the interest of the
general public in mining in order
to facilitate the raising of capital.
Talks on various mining dis
tricts of the Northwest by men
conversant with the situation
and local conditions will be in
cluded in the program.
A pleasant time is assured

Salmon City Exploits
River Road.
WILL BUILD THIS YEAR
Northern Pacific Gives Help
to Advertising.

Newspaper reports and private
advices from the Salmon City |
section of Idaho show that resi-
dents there are anticipating a big
influx Of population the coming
spring and summer as the result
of wide publicity given the fact
that further railroad construc-
ton is promised for that district
this year, this involving the ex-
tension Of the Pittsburg & Gil
more road down the Salmon river
toward Lewiston. The Salmon
City people recently arranged a
big exhibition which was sent to
the st. Paul land show, in charge
of Chief Engineer Bacon, Of the
Pittsburg & Gilmore, and |. N.
Hibbs, formerly Of Lewiston.
The Northern Pacific assisted at
st. Paul in exploiting the district
and advertised the Salmon river
country as the greatest unde-
veloped region in the United
States. 1t is apparent from the
character of advices received,
the interest displayed by Salmon
City people and the railroad in
terests, the view is generally
held that the Pittsburg & Gil
more extension will start down
the river early during the pres
ent year. In fact, statement is
made at Salmon City that mater
ials are now being assembled for
10S miles of the extension, this
to bring the line to point known
as Campbell's crossing, a point
in the Dixie section at the ap-
proach to the Big Creek country.
1t seems to be the view that this
portion of the road will be put
under contract this year, with
the line to be finished into Lewis
ton next year., Mr.. Bacon, who
has directed all phases Of the
Pittsburg & Gilmore work, since
the initial survey was made, is
maintaining his headquarters al
Salmon City and it is understood
will continue to do so until the
road is finished to Lewiston. He
has also made extensive invest
ments in the Salmon river
country. A.
The Salmon City people il
their campaign of publicity a
this time, are not limiting theil
data to the mineral resources o.
the region the new line will oper
up, but are holding out as wei
the G eat opportunities for stool
raising, dairying and fruit grow
ing. Especial stress is being
given the statement that thu
road down the river will open VI
thousands of acres of land
adapted to fruit growing ant
affording home sites for thou
sands. The information secures

CONCENTRATES.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
Files clogged with tin or lead
may be cleaned by immersion in
strong nitric acid. For iron
filings, use blue vitriol, rinse in
water, and dip in nitric acid.
For copper or brass, use nitric
acid several times; for zinc, di-
lutte sulphuric acid. After any
of these treatments, rinse the
files in water, brush vigorously,
and dry in sawdust or by burning
alcohol on the file.
Tin occurs in America chiefly
in the Black Hills of South Da-,
kota, at Spearfsh and at Harvey.
Peak. Litigation has hampered
the development Of the proper
ties, which are not of high grade
and the operations have not been
successful. Tin is chiefly OBJ
tanned from the Straits Settle
ments, though Bolivia, Cornwall,
and China are important pro-
ducers as well.
The following is a short ac-
curate method for securing length
for a belt. When it is not con-
venient or possible to measure
with line the required amount of
belt needed, add the diameter of
the two pulleys together, divide
the result by 2, and multiply the
quotient by 3 1-e. Add your
product to twice the distance be-
tween the shafts carrying the
pulleys and the result is the
length for belt.
Ground which is the subject of
, an adverse claim may be ex-
= cluded from the patent applica-
:, ton; the the latter may at once
proceed to final entry and patent
:, without any rights to the ground
, in conflict being waived. An
. agreement made by a patent ap-
plicant to deed certain portions
of the claims or rights, after
patent has been obtained, to
|. those threatening to adverse, in
e consideration of no adverse being
/, made, is sound and valid.
y Loss of gold in amalgamaticn
r may be due to a number of
