STRIKE ON GOLDEN ZONE
ORE CHUTE ENCOUNTERED AT
DEPTH OF 1000 FEET BELOW
APEX OF VEIN
NINE FEET OF MILLING ORE
Probably Continuation Of Same Chute
That Yielded Big Values in the
Early Workings

The adit tunnel on the Golden Zone,
which has followed the vein on that
property into the mountain for dis
tance of about 500 feet has entered an
ore shoot OF low grade milling ore
nine feet in width, which is heavily
streaked with high grade sulphides,
according to a report brought to supt.
e. s. Campbell who is now in Oroville.
This chute is opened at depth of
1000 feet from the apex of the vein,
and it is figured that it is the same
chute from which so much value pro-
ducing ore was taken several years
ago.
The adit now following the vein is
the fourth level in the system of de-
velopment of the Golden Zone. A
great deal of water is coming in at the
face of the working at the present
time, and the ground is of such char
acter that timbering is required to
protect the miners.
If the strike made in the adit proves
to be continuation of the ore chute
that produced so much valuable rock
in the earlier and shallower workings,
as there is strong reason to believe
that it is, the development done by the
present working will have demonstrat-
ed TO large extent the permanancy
of the principal ore chute on the Zone.
Mr.. Campbell, who has every faith
in the property he is developing, says
that all this country needs is intelli-
gent mining to prove that the values
are here in sufficient quantities to
make producing and paying mines
That has been the contention of
many others who have prospected in
this country and the contention of the
Gazette for years. The character of
the work being done on several prop
critics in this vicinity at the present
time promises to show whether that
contention is correct or not

BULLETIN ON SPRAYING

General Bulletin No. LOG, THE Pen
etration System of Spraying" written
by A. l.. Melander, Entomologist, and
R. Kent Beattie, formerly Botanist of
the Station, has just been issued by
the State Agricultural Experiment
Station at Pullman, Washington.
This bulletin discusses thoroughly
the general principles underlying the
high-pressure system of spraying rec
commended by the authors, as a result
of their six years of study of methods
OF combating insect pests and fungus
diseases in the state The advantages
and disadvantages of the different
methods of sprying are clearly de-
scribed. The results of comparative
spraying tests on large scale in sew
eral different localities and several
different seasons are reported in de-
tail.
The methods recommended by the
authors in this bulletin have been
tried out in many other states, since
they were first proposed by the Wash
ington Station men, and have been al
most universally successful. Every
orchard sprayer should familiarize
himself with the contents of this bull
letin, a copy Of which may be obtained
free by writing to the Director of the
Experiment Station, Pullman, Wash
ington.

SEVERAL MILES OF ROADS MUCH
IMPROVED BY VOLUNTEERS
ON GOOD ROADS DAY
MUCH DONE IN SINGLE DAY
0rOyille's Good Roads Day Results in
Decided Betterment of Roads
Radiating From Town

Tuesday was good roads day in Oro-
vile, designated as such at the last
meeting of the Oroville Development
League, and all day long % men
worked hard and faithfully on the
highways radiating from Oroville re-
moving rocks. filling ruts, smoothing
off bumps, grading and otherwise i'm
proving the driveways.
The workers were organized into
squads and taken to the scene of ac-
tion in autos furnished for the occa-
sion The work was planned and car
ried out under the general supervision
of R. Butler, chairman of the roads
and bridges committee of the league.
The principal work was done on the
two roads running south from Oroville
on either side of the Okanogan river,
and on the main road through the
East Oroville Orchards Tracts. The
result of the days labor was highly
satisfactory, and travellers coming into
town since the work was done, report
big improvement in the roads.
The manner in which so many citi-
zens turned out or furnished labor for
road work is evidence that they fully
appreciate the great Importance to the
community of having the roads center
ing here in first class condition They
deserve every commendation for their
efforts to bring about such improve
ments.
1t is hoped by the good roads en-
thusiasts that Governor Lister will
later follow the example set by Gov
ernor Hay last year and declare a
state good roads day, when more
work can be done on the highways in
this vicinity by volunteer labor.
The roads upon which labor was ex-
pended Tuesday were improved for
distances of from three to eight miles
from town.

A PLEASANT ENTERTAINMENT

Those that were fortunate enough to
attend the 3rd annual Musicale" at
Loomis last Saturday night were certain
ly repaid many times for the trip. The
whole program was high class and well
rendered and listened to by an apprecia-
tive audience. While we are not a critic
and as said before, every number was
good it is with pleasure we mention a
few.
There are lots of people who would feel
as if they had paid three dollars for their
seat after hearing Mrs. Richmond sing
Silver Threads Among the Gold" as she
did for an encore. Miss Fox's singing.
reciting and acting would get the money
in any town. She was called back to the
stage three times. The Fox family seem
to be natural stage people as Mrs Fox
and Mrs. w. E. Grant sang and acted
their parts in number entitled. "The
Wearing of the Green" The makeup was
fine.
Mrs. Retzer was accompanist for the
evening. She is we'll known and doubt
ful If she could be beaten. Mrs. Limbach's
pianoforte solo was well executed The
single and double quartettes were well
rendered by both the ladies' and gentle
munty to see such display of talent and
where they can get together and show so
much zest and combined interest. We
believe the musicale is going to he rend-
cred in the town of Okanogan. If the
company could be induced to come to
ccouraged, and get a wide open welcome.
II Tor only this reason-that you will get
something far better than the average

The TOnasket Produce Co. has
signed a three year lease with the
HazelwoOd people. The creamery will
be in operation in about ten days. A.
M. Blunt will be in charge for the
Hazelwood concern. A man will be
put in the field to keep the outside
work in shape.
Allen Ingram and family, of the
Whitestone mountain antimony mine.
accompanied by the head machinist of
the mine, were in town Monday. The
mine people are expecting a carload
of machinery shortly, to be shipped
direct to Tonasket over our new rail-
road
The Ladies Aid of Tonasket gave
reception in the M. E. church Wednes-
day afternoon, April 2, which was
pleasant little affair. A program was
given. Mrs. Mary Pollock, the first
president of the aid in it's birth, gave
a short history of its early days and
struggles up to the present date. Mrs
Betaque provided fun and sociability
in a conumdrum contest The finan-
cial standing of the aid was given, be-
ginning with October last, when 81
was the amount found in the treasury
at that time. In the six months fol-
lowing up to date, $135 had been re-
ceived, with $113 expenses. 81 was
added to the account Wednesday, leav-
ing total of $26 on hand. The new
officers for the year are, Mrs. Deborah
Kellogg, president; Mrs. Betaque, vice
president; Mrs. Mildred Peterson, sec
retary; Mrs. Ora Eiseman, treasurer
Next meeting will be held with Mrs
Betaque April 16.

SELLS CONTOL OF MOLSON BANK

l.. L. Work, president of several
county banks and who has been
president of the Commercial Bank of
Nelson, announced today that he and
his associates have sold the control
ling interest of the Nelson bank, the
deal being consumated after negotia-
tons pending since the first of the
year. The following business men
and ranchers of Nelson and vicinity
have taken over the control of that
institution: c. S. Barns, present CASH
ier of the bank; G. b. Avery ranch
er, c. B. Sanger, grain buyer of Mol
son; c. A. Potter, and Chas. Kohrdt,
business men of Molson John F.
Leighton, local manager of the Porter
Bros. saw mill at Nelson; F. j. and
A. d. REILLY, formerly grain buyers of
Nelson; J. r. Shaw, Israel Damned,
w. Il. Morris, John Wildermuth, Mar
ion Warren and Fred A. Davis, ranch

others of that vicinity to whom stock
has not as yet been assigned
1t is understood that the new ofIic-
ers of the bank will be c. S. Barns,
president G. A. Potter, vice pres-
dent; and G. b. Avery, cashier
Mr.. Work said that the prosperous
condition of Nelson and the surround
ing territory owing to the exceptional
ly heavy grain crop of last year Gre
ated the desire of the people of that
community to take over the control
of the bank locally and lead to the
transfer just closed.
The Commercial Bank of Nelson
was organized in September 1908 in
rather unique manner The CONNER
cial Bank of Conconully that fall paid
a dividend of $4,000 in paid up stock
establishing the bank, and in Novem-
ber, 1911, the capital was increased by
$4,000 through the issuance of so
shares of stock to the shareholders at
par. The bank has been paying ten
per cent dividends, and the present
sale of 30 shares was made at the
rate of $40 per share.

La INQUIRE COUNTY
Will join MOVE

LaMoure, N. D., April 5.-Sevearl Of
the prominent citizens of LaMOure and
the county met informally To discuss
the problem of better farming in this
county and ways and means Of active
ly promoting the good farming move
ment through the medium of a county
organization. The organization pro-
posed would be county wide in It's
membership, scope and activity.
A meeting is to be held at the COM
merciaI club rooms of LaMOure, next
Tuesday afternoon, April 8, 1918, at
3 o'clock for the purpose of organic
ing a LaMOure County Better Farming
association, OIL County Boosting club,
as may be decided Upon. In the even
ing there will be a banquet and
speeches by prominent citizens.
The idea is that such an organiZa-
ton would constitute an official" and
definite body, ever on the alert to do
anything or further anything caIcu-
lated to develop or advertise the
county or to promote good farming
in general.
According to a bill introduced by
senator Mcdowell, counties in the
state Of North Dakota may make ap-
preparations through their commits
~sloners. for the purpose of assisting in
4, or promoting better farming. The
NORTH Dakota Better Farming associ-
alton offers the sum of 1000 to any
county putting up an additional ST.
500 for good farming work. Several
counties in the state have secured the
services of good farming experts who
travel from place to place throughout
the county. To secure such an expert
would naturally be one Of the first OBJ
jeCts of the association proposed.
