ITO my mind the three-year re-

which there is no valid excuse. 1t
leads to a lot of confusion and conse-
duently to the disfranC hisoment of
many voters who probably would be
aualitied If payment of poll tax for

A FINE PROPERTY
SAYS M'FARLANE
Pullman Mining n Milling Co. Has
Excellent Prospects of Valuable
Mine at Salmon River

The Lewiston Tribune published
the following item, which will be of
interest to the local stockholders in
the Pullman Mining & Milling Co.:
For the first time in Is years the
ore dump at the Great Eastern m ne,
located on Snake river 10 miles
above Pittsburg Landing, and about
100 miles above Lewiston, has been
cleared of its contents Captain E.
G. MeFarlane of the firm of Glover
& McFarlane, owners of the gasoline
launches "Prospector" and Flyer"
yesterday stated that the boats had
carried so far about four carloads of
quartz from the nine to lewiston
and that with the shipment of the
same to Tacoma for smelling an
average of $50 to the ton in gold
had been maintained.
The water in the upper Snake at
this time is very low, failing to per
nit the operation of boat, with the
light draft of the launches, necessi-
Eating suspension of service until the
rise coming with next spring, al
though it might be possible to oper-
ate with the rise sometimes occur
ring during the winter months.
Captain McFarlane stated that one
of the best prospects for mine is
that owned by the Pullman Mining
Milling company, located at the
mouth of Salmon. river. He stated
that with a dynamite discharge a
short time ago a ledge was broken
through which, upon investigation,
showed plenty of fine ore
The Wild Goose mine, about =,
miles above Lewiston, is another
property showing all signs of merit.
many of the specimens taken out be-
ing unusually rich.
The money derived from the ore
shipped to the smelter by the Great
Eastern people, Captain McFarlane
stated, would doubtless be used for
driving additional tunnels and max
ing improvements in the way of ma
chinery. The captain reports the
section as showing up we'll with all
its resources, and said he expected
an increased travel to the district
with the coming year, owing to the
faet that many of the min ng prop
critics at this time are showing up ex-
ceedingly well.
