Sites Signal, of Course.

That was Snookums Seabury's
imprint or trade mark while he
was grating the people of Sites,
Grangeville. Cottonwood, Elk
City and other places. Under
Seabury's regime the Signal was
a standing disgrace to the COM
munity in which it was printed.
1t couldn't be otherwise, as few
dollars could get it to advocate.
anything that was low and vile.
Out of respect for some people
in Sites, the Mountaineer will
not go into details at this time
regarding Seabury's brief career
in the newspaper business in this
locality. Those who upheld him
have been humiliated enough
and we trust that their unpleas-
ant experience with the schemer
who bit the hand that caressed
him will prove a good lesson. It
was dearly bought, but dear
lessons are sometimes profitable.
The Signal died in disgrace. 1t
could never live it down. John
Alden fixed things so that an
honest man would starve to death
trying to run a newspaper at
Sites, and the ones who had an
idea that the imbecile who aped
the duties of a newspaper man
was the only thing that ever
happened are to blame for it.
He was the only thing of the
kind ever given full access to the
columns of a newspaper, and had
he pursued his grating tactics
elsewhere as he did in Sites he
would have been thrown in Jail
or kicked out Of town. -Kooskia

Alligator Hunting.

Alligator hunting in Colombia Is an
Industry which furnishes the natives
with considerable sport. 1t is carried
on along the Magdaiena river from
December to April and in July and
August During these rainless months
the streams subside. draining the great
alluvial plains which border the main
stream. The alligators, which rushed
out on to the inundated fats during
the previous swelling Of the river,
crowd back through the connecting
branches and channels, where the In
dian hunters slaughter them in large
numbers, spearing them and hauling
them out on the banks, where they
are stunned and then beheaded with
long handled axes. Rifles are not
used, owing to the prohibition OF the
use Of firearms, except shotguns. Hun
dreds of alligators are also left stuck
In the deep slime left by the receding
waters, over which their short legs
will not drag their heavy bodies

An Oasis With q History.

In the mountain range Of Ell Guet-
terra, writes Captain A. H. Haywood
in the Wide World, came across that
precious and rare thing in the desert
clear spring. OF course these springs
are very few and far between, and
there is a tragic little story attached to
this particular one A man and his
wife were making their way across the
desert not long ago, and their water
supply ran short. They struggled on
weak and parched with thirst. One by
one their camels died, and at last,
overcome with suffering, the woman
died too. The man dragged himself
painfully onward in the weary search
for water. 1t was all in vain, how
ever, and at last he, too, gave up the
struggle, and, tortured with burning
thirst, death came upon him and mer
cifully relieved his suffering. Some
one, passing that way soon after
found his body, lying barely 100 yards
from the little mountain spring OF e
Guettera. Little he knew how close ht
was to his goal, poor fellowl

Claim DeIuSiOn in Tariff Bill.

That ad valorem duties such as
are proposed in the democratic
tariff bill are a "delusion and a
snare";; that the radical tariff
revision submitted by the demo-
Gratis is inexcusable and uncalled
for, and that an accounting will
come for it's enactment into law,
are contentious of the republican
members of the ways and means
committee in a minority report
to be presented to the house.
''There is no excuse for the
radical changes in our revenue
system proposed by this demo
cratic bill," says the report.
"The people have not asked it.
The party proposing it is in
power, not by the grace of a
majority of the American people
but by division in the ranks OF
the majority on other questions
than that of protection. The ad-
ministration has the power tc
enact this legislation. Account
ing for the abuse of that power
will come later"

widespread alarm in business
circles"

Failure to perform annual labor
on a claim does not lose or forfeit
it; it becomes forfeitable by the
locator and locatable by others.
1t is only when it has been ap-
propriated by another through
new location-a re-location-that
it is lost and forfeited by the old
owner. Up to the time of re-
location, the old owner may, by
resuming work upon the claim,
redeem his claim from being for
feitable, as provided by statute.
Even afyer relocation has begun
and while the various acts of To-
cation prescribed by federal and
state statutes are being complet-
ed within the allotted time; the
old locator may resume work at
any time before the completion
of all acts of relocation and
thereby render the attempted re-
location void, except in Montana,
where a forfeiting claimant can
not resume work after a re-loca-
tor has posted his notice.

Mine at Dixie is Making
Good.
Other Properties Being Developed
the Past Winter.
Dixie, April 81.

Dixie, April IL.
The work of development at
the Majestic mines the past win
ter has put a large body of good
milling ore in sight.
The most of the work has been
confined to what is known as the
Campbell drift in No. 3 tunnel.
In this drift they have cut a
porphyry vein that is 20 it. wide
and assays 81 per ton. This
drift has good depth and will
afford considerable stopping
ground. The values seem to be
in the hemitite, and it pans quite
we'll.
Aside from the work done in
the No. 3 tunnel, there has been
considerable work done on a
quartz vein cut in the No. 2
tunnel. This vein is from a to 6
it, in width and gives promise of
developing into good ore.
The company to date have 125O
fit. of tunnel work done on their
property, most of which has
been done in the No. 2 and No.
3 tunnels. They have a fine
equipment for work, consisting
of a go hp. boiler, air compressor
and a saw mill. This equipment
is placed at their mill site, which
has been put in shape to receive
the mill that will be put in this
summer. The mill site is some
distance below the mine, and the
ore will be trammed.
The Ironsides.
The work on the Ironsides
mine, owned by Henry Hazlett.
is showing up some high grade
ore. During the past winter the
work of, driving a tunnel has
given considerable depth, an6
enough ore has been taken ou
to more than pay for the work
This tunnel can be driven on the
vein and a depth of 200 ft. cal
be had.
On the Canon Ball claim which
is an extension of the Ironside
a depth of 250 ft. can be gainet
by tunnel. The veins traversinl
these claims can be traced throl
them, and the ore runs from $l0
to $500 per ton.

claims since 1898, when he pur

Elements of Discovery.

The elements of a valid dis
covery on a mining claim are.
l. A vein or lode of quartz or
other rock in place.
2. The quartz or other rock
in place must carry gold or some
other valuable mineral deposit.
3. The two preceding ele-
ments when taken together must
be such as to warrant a prudent
man in the expenditure of his
time and money in the effort to
develop valuable mine.
The requirement of such a dis
covery is mandatory and cannot.
be waived by the Department to
meet peculiar conditions existing
in some mining district. Where
in an alleged discovery shaft the
country rock was shown to be a
granite containing as constitu-
ent element quartz, and there
are occasional segregations of the
quartz, this does not constitute a
sufficient discovery of a lode of
quartz or other rock in place.

Prospects, Mines
and Capital.

ullu Uupitul'
Finding mine is apparently
no easy task. 1t will be remem-
bered that a year ago the Cana
dian Mining & Exploration COM
pany, limited, was organized
with ample funds and an excel
lent staff to finance and operate
mining properties. While op-
portunities in Canada were to re-
ceive first consideration, the COM
pany was open to proposals from
other countries as well. The
company was prepared to pro-
vide capital for the extension of
plant or re-equipment of produc-
ing mines or to undertake their
management; to finance and
work idle properties already de-
veloped; or to test prospects
from the earliest stage of devel-
opment. The balance sheet of
the company shows that in the
first year of its life nearly
$4,000 was expended, of which
$12, 700 was directly spent on ex-
aminations, not counting staff
salaries and travelling expenses.
In all, 428 properties were con-
sidered, of which 285 were in
Canada, 10 in the United States
81 in Mexico, and the remainder
scattering. So far as public in
formation goes, no property was
accepted, and it is known that
only very small number were
found to present such intrinsic
evidence of value or were offered
on such terms as to warrant a
field examination. Undeterred
by their first experience, the
company is still hopefully looking
for a mine and has issued a cir
cular giving details of the sort of
! information desired when pro-
posals are submitted.
) The experience of this company
tallies with that of the Guggen-
} helm exploration company, the
Unithe States Smelling, Refining
& Mining Exploration company,
and other concerns actively en-
gagged in the search for mines.
! Of the large number of proper
5 ties submitted, a very small por.

: that each of the concerns men

A Grangeville special to the

est fought baseball games ever
witnessed on Camas Prairie was
that played this afternoon be-
tween the Grangeville regular
team and strong nine from
Kooskia, the score standing 5 to
3 at the end of the tenth inning,
when the game was called to
allow the visitors to depart for
home. The features of the game
were the batting of Tlgglebeck,
of Grangeville, who lined out a
home run hit over the left field
fence, being credited as the long
est hit ever made on the local
diamond; the pitching of "Slats"
Taylor for Kooskia, thirteen
players falling prey to his curves;
| the box work Of Karr for the
Grangeville team, who famed
ten men, and the work of Abra-
hanson, playing first for Grange

The contest was witnessed by
a large crowd, indicative of what
may be looked for in the way OF
attendance when the regular
