PLACER BAR TO BE WORKED.
Delta Resident Preparing to Pipe Ex
tersjve Tract,

Ed oxley has made preparations TO
engage in extensive placer mining The
coming spring. He has connected j
large pipe line from a ditch with The
placer bar across Beaver creek, from
what was once the town of Delta, but
which was mined out by dredge. The
bar has been worked in years past, bu.
never Systematically. For number
Of years 1t has lain idle, but Mr.. Oxley
has always had an eye on II. for as
indifferently as the work was done
there the cleanups were respectable,
He thinks he now has his arrange
ments complete to make a full see
sons effort with ample water and
adequate power to move and wash
away the high auriferous gravel
banks Mr. Oxley owns some so acres
of Beaver creek bottoms at the pro
posed scene of operations, and believes
the valley will pay to work With
|dredges.

When a few weeks ago John Eric
son left the Ray-Jefferson to become
a benedict, he planned to return with
his bride 50 noise)essly that his friends
in neighboring camps would know
nothing of his arrival. In this, how
ever. he failed utterly. As the dark

day evening. Mr. and Mrs. Erricson
were seen passing the Virginia mine
on their way to the Ray-Jefferscn.
and in surprisingly short time their
presence was known in the neighhor-

time to inspect her new home a noise
such as never before echoed around
Sunset peak broke loose Every in

was utilized. and the groom soon ac-
cepted the only terms which included
the payment Of tribute in the way OF

TioNs ON MAIL SERVICE

n. j. Rice of Mullan, arrived in the
city yesterday from the Ten Nit dis

spent several days examining minilg

given to developing 1t on account If
It's remote and inaccessible location
At the present time it is reached by
wagon road from Sites to Elk City
but this is a very bad road at bes,
and in bad weather Is almost impas-

Mr.. Rice states that the business
men of Sites and Grangeville are just
now agitating wagon road to Ell;
and Ten Mile, on water grade up
the South Fork of the Clearwater and
tributaries. The forestry service has
agreed to contribute $1,000 toward the
enterprise, and 1t Is believed that tbs
county and state will make liberal
appropriations. It Is estimated that II
would cost $4,000 and the proposed
route could be easily kept open at all
seasons Of the year
Parcel Post on tho Elk Stage Line.
This trip gave Mr.. Rice an oppor
tunity to make some observations on
the practical operations Of the parcel
post system over star routes, Before
this beneticent system was inaugu

sites to Elk City was fairly prosper
