FOREST RANGER s''
BADLY WOUNDED
Was Cleaning Automatic Pistol Which
Discharged Accidentally.

A very serious and painful ac-
cident happened on Sunday, July
10Th, to w. C. Brown, a ranger
on the Selway National Forest,
when a Luger automatic pistol
he was cleaning discharged ard
the bullet entered his left leg
just above the knee.
The party Of rangers were
camped on the head of American
river, cutting a trail along the
main divide between the Ameri-
can river and the Selway, and as
usual on Sunday were cleaning
up, and Brown had finished
cleaning his pistol and was put
ting it together, and in doing so
was pressing the gun on his leg
when it was accidentally dis
charged.
No one in the party at the
time knew the trail to Elk City,
and at once went to the station
at Tahoe and phoned to Kooskia
for a doctor. Major Fem sent
DR.. Verberkmoes to the wounded
man, but he did not reach there
until Tuesday night. The doctor
dressed the wound and had Brown
removed to Elk City. The camp
was some Is miles from here,
and it was very hard to get
Brown to the Sine ranch, where
a wagon was secured and the
trip made to Elk, arriving here
Friday evening.
Brown stood the trip fine anc
after having his wound dressed
| by DR.. Davis, he was sent t(
Kooskia by stage Saturday. Il
is thought that Brown will loose
his leg, as the bone was badly
shattered, and several pieces
were taken out at the time the
bullet was extracted.
The wounded man arrived II
Sites in good spirits and wa,
taken to a hospital at Spokane.
: Brown was new man in tn,
service, and had just been sen
out. He was about 80 years O
age, and formerly resided a

IMPRESSIONS OF
A GEOLOGIST
What is Needed in the Country and
Some Suggestions.


Prof. C. A. Stewart who has
been in the Dixie district making
a geological survey, was in Elk
City this week on his way to
Moscow, when he gave the fol-
lowing interview:
Professor Livingston and |
have completed a topographic
and geologic map of a part of the
Dixie district, and haved visited
all of the properties. We found
the geology somewhat simpler
than we had anticipated, granite,
with some comparatively small
dikes of diorite, trachyte and
trap. representing the country
rock. The dikes seem to have
had no connection with the ore
formation, but in some cases
I they have faulted the veins.
This faulting, however, seems to
represent only a slight displace-
ment, and should give little
|, trouble in following the veins.
+ Although many of the prospects
\ in Dixie are on veins too small
to be workable under the present
conditions of mining, there are
other lodges that are of great
promise, and that deserve more
attention than has been given to
them thus far.
INV short visits to Elk have
convinced me that here also are
the makings of several good
: mines, when capital is once in
terested, and proper methods of
a mining and milling are intro
4 duced. There is a feeling among
mining men outside of Idaho that
because Dixie and Elk have been
known for so long without max
ing large mines there can be no
good properties in the districts.
| feel sure, however, that visit
to this country would dispel such
impressions. Many promising
properties have failed to make
good because they have not been
put in charge of men with the
proper training and experience,
= Mining is a business requiring
specialized knowledge, and it
cannot be successfully carried on
by men whose work has been in
entirely different lines. AS soon
as outside investors realize this,
and as soon as local men begin
to seek the aid of qualified ad.
visers in their exploration work,
the promising properties in the
two camps will have better
chances of becoming profitable
mines. Of course there has beer
some excellent mining in this
country, but the fact remains
that many properties have moi
vet had fair chance.
''I believe that one of the pres
sing problems in Elk is the solv
\ ing of the fault systems. i
seems probable that many of the
mysterious and puzzling turns
and changes of the ore-bodies are
the result of faulting. This
faulting appears to be rather
uniform over the whole camp
and a careful study of it shoulC
result in the formulating of some
rules that would be of the great
est assistance in following thu
ore shoots and in picking up tn,
veins. In planning our work fo
next summer, Prof. Livingston
and l will keep this in mind, ant
it is possible that we will decid,
to spend a part of our time il

Walter Hovey Hill, the we'll

the endorsement for the position
of engineer for the state highway
commission from the good roads

This action of the Lewiston

the lime-light a man eminently
fitted for the job he has been
named for, and if he lands the
plum the commissioners may rest
assured that his portion of the
