L0CKETT WINS CON-
TEST CASE
Land in Question on Anderson
Creek-Alleged to
be Mineral.

The Boise land Office on Monday
handed down decision in the contes
case of John Mcconnell against Dors
s. Lockett, dismissing the contest.
The land in controversy is situated
on Anderson creek. 1t was taken uI
by Mrs. Lockett as a desert claim
John Mcconnell filed contest on the
ground that the claim contains valu-
able gold deposits; that it has been
worked as a placer mine since 1892;
that it was located as five placer
claims and sold to Mr.. Mcconnell in
1909 and that contestant has prospect
ed and worked the claims ever since
making the necessary annual expen-
ditures, securing water right for the
purpose of hydraulic mining, and that
the contestee knew this at the time
the desert entry was made.
1t is held by the register and receiv-
er, however, that the evidence does
not substantiate the claims Of miner
al character of the land; that while
some evidence does show that the
placer claims are located on an old
fhannel and that gold is common in
uch channels, still the evidence does
lot show gold in paying quantities.
he witnesses for the contestant ap-
bear to show gold but the witnesses
For the contestee who took samples
from the same places, the dicision
eays. reported that they could find
nothing more than occasional colors,
while the protestee introduced witness
es to show that some 20 acres of the
tract are more valuable for agricul-
tural purposes. 1T might be pos
sible," says the decision, to secure
series of good samples from the bot
tom of the gulches without there be
ing deposit in that gulch that woul
be practically valuable for placer min
ing operations. We cannot discove
from the testimony whether or no
there is a pay streak 10 feet wide, 5
feet wide or 100 feet wide or of an
width whatever.
In other words, it is held that al
though the contestant showed som
evidence TO substantiate his claim
.he mineral character of the land
lis showing was not conclusive.
Mrs. Lockett, who has her hom
IN the claim, came to Emmett las
week and on Friday gave birth to
laughter.

Draining Hearing Monday.

The hearing on the petition to ere
al. drainage district, embracing
10000 acres, in the valley between
Falk and Emmett, will come up before
Judge Bryan at Caldwell on Monday.
There is some opposition to the propo-
sition, how much will not be known
until the matter comes up for consid-
Grafton. There is no question but
that the lands embraced in the pro-
posed district would be greatly bene-
flied and enhanced in value by drain

There is a small tent village in the
orchard at the Westlake farm, where
many of the pickers and packers live.
They have complete camping outfits.
At night the campers have a high
time. There are half a dozen graph
ophones and the stiffness of the night
is broken by songs, ragtime and op-
cratic selections. Then there are
wrestling matches every night. 50
far George Kyle is the champion, but
there is talk Of white hope who will
be brought in to wrest the honors
from Mr. Kyle. The contests create
great excitement and lots of fun.

PRUNES NOW HAVE THE
FLOOR
Forty-fOur Carloads of Peaches
Shipped Out to
Date.

The Elberta peach harvest is practi-
cally over. Up to this afternoon A
carloads of them had been shipped
out. There will be possibly three or
four carloads more. ]. |. Hit has
nearly carload to come, Will Callen-
der has over half car, j. W. and
Harry Carmichael have 300 to 400
more crates, DR.. Greene will have a
carload, others of the peach growers
will have from hundred to 800
crates. In a week or two the Late
Crawfords will come in, and then the
Salways Of the latter there will be
several carloads. The total carload
shipments will be not less than so.
How many carloads have been har-
vested this year? Don't know.
Neither does anyone else. The crop
of early ones-the Alexanders; Car
mems, etc.-was large, possibly 10
cars, may be more. All of them were
shipped locally and most of them were
sold in neighboring towns and along
the Short Line and its branches. The
sale to those who came in wagons to
the orchards and either carried them
home or CARED them right on
the ground was enormous. The
George P. Hall orchard received 1886
in cash on Sunday from that source
alone. On Monday their sales
amounted to over $3.50. Many other
days ranged over the hundred dollar
mark. ]. l. Hits sales went as high
as s172 in one day. B. F. Wright and
Harvey DeClark sold large quantities
and so did C. P. Hartley and others. 4
Charles w. Cooks sales ran as high .
as $3.50 in one day. Then on top of
thatG A Warden, Pete Ries, Paul Ke-
fauver and the Obermyers hauled
large quantities to Boise and nearby
towns in wagons and sold then In ad-
dition to all that, the Hall AMI Iield
canning factories have been running
full blast for two weeks on peaches,
and large quantities have Keen ship
ped to the Payette factory.
The growers now await returns
from the carload shipments. South
ern Idaho, from one end of the state
to the other, has been supplied, and
all cars are now billed to Eastern
points.

through all the steps Of halving, TAX
ing out the seeds, peeling, sugaring,
placing in cans, soldering and then
dousing in the boiling water to cook
them. Still pictures were also taken
Of the interior Of the cannery and the
packing house.
Tuesday morning, pictures were ia
ken Of the process of budding trees
in Hartley's nursery and OF the pick
ing and packing Of fine large Howell
pears in the Field orchard. This last
contains a scene which gives the
picture touch Of human interest.
Mr.. Fields son was among the pick
ers. While carrying a pail Of pears
to empty into the boxes, the little feI-
low fell, spilIing the contents of his
bucket on the ground, but he got up,
his face split with laughter ever his
accident.
There were numerous other Incl 4
dents and sidelights that were unin- /

which are not mentioned here. But /
arrangements have been made with 4
Mr.. Bucknum to show them at his .
theatre at an early date, so It wouldn't
be proper to tell all that happened. 1

gether with scenes in other portions
Of the state, will be also exhibited in

Autopsy Performed.

An autopsy was performed on the
body of Cort Pyle and 1t was found
that his death was caused by an alb
seess Of one his lungs. The physi-

it as their opinion that he was affiict-

entirely destroyed, but the other was
sound. His Emmett physicians do not
think he had that disease, as a test
was made which developed no signs Of
tubercules.
