whole county.
Everybody is invited and urged to

should be heard by every taxpayer in
the county who can possibly attend.

the roads of the county as he has found
them. He advocates a generous use OF
the split log drag and coating of sand
as the first steps to improve the high
ways on the prairie. He pronounces 9
stretch of road just this side of Denver
as one of the best dirt roads he has seer
for long time. His talk bristled with
valuable suggestions and was euthu
siastically received by his hearers.
Among other matters taken up tht
Commercial club, upon motion of w. w
Brown, passed resolution thanking
the members of the fire department TO
their efficient work in last weeks fire

business men, farmers and citizens in
general will meet at the court house for

ings. The morning session is to be

meeting at 2 O'Clock.
Everybody Talks Good Roads.
The program, however, does not call
for a set speech by Mr.. Burrell at either
meeting but instead plan of general

enter the Walla Walla fair grounds,
where the Frontier Days program is to
be staged, and circle the track once
before delivering the message to Secre
tary johnson. The Frontier Days ex.
hibition is to be held the week follow
ing Border Days in Grangeville.
Race win Excite Interest.
I The pony express race, it is believed
will prove a feature event for both the
Grangeville and Walla Walla exhibi-
tions. Telephone and telegraphic com.
munications will be arranged to keep
the crowds at both shows in touch with
the different riders in the race.
. Cowboys and horsemen who desire to
enter the big race should write to either
Secretary johnson at Walla Walla or
Doe Denny at Grangeville.
Begin Work Next Week.
Doc Denny states that construction
work will begin in earnest next week at
the ball park where the big show in
September is to be produced. "The
grandstand and bleachers will be enlarg-
ed and extended to give seating capaci-
ty of approximately S0o0,' said Doc
Denny yesterday. "The new grandstand
will extend from the present ampithea-
ter south along the west fence to the
south boundary of the grounds. The
bleachers will be built all along the
north and east boundary fences. In this
way seats will be placed on three of
the four sides of the park and specata-
tors will have an interrupted view from
any point on the grounds.
Frank Vansise will probably have
charge Of the carpentering work on the
bleachers and grandstand and force
of several men will be put to work al
once.
A number of strings are out for Wilt
West stars of even greater magnitude
than the artists who helped make las
years show a success and Doc Denny
says he may have some decidedly inter
esting announcements to make within
the next few days regarding contract
closed with these stellar performers.

ANOTHER THROUGH LINE.
Telephone Company Lsts
Contract for Wire to Whitebird.

Contracts were let at Whitebird last
week for the stringing of through
wire from Whitebird to Grangeville and
the putting in of several new poles and
generally improving the system. The
contract was awarded to Watson and
Harris and it is the plan to put the line
in first class condition and keep it so.
The Whitebird Cooperative Telephone
company authorized the contract for the
through line which makes two such lines
between Grangeville and the Salmon
river metropolis.
The completion of the Cooperative
line means much better and surer tele.
phone service from the county seat to
river points and will no doubt be great
ly appreciated by the patrons in general

DISCOVERY ON WHITE FIR GROUP
IN FAMOUS CAMP SHOWS RICH
VEIN 80 FEET IN WIDTH
L|TCHF|ELD owns GROUND
Good Depth Already Tunneled and
Ditch to be Constructed-Owner
Worked Property Alone.

What is said to be one of the largest
bodies of ore ever disclosed in the rich
Elk City district has been uncovered on
the White Fir group of claims about
three miles east Of Elk City.
In speaking of the discovery and the
progress Of development ON the property
which led up to it the Elk City Mining
News says in part:
The White Fir group is owned by
Stanley w. Litchfield, and is composed
of three claims, all Of them being on the
vein. The claims are patented SO the
title is perfect. The strike Of the vein
is east and west, and the claims are
located from the American river east
1900 feet. The vein follows q very
high ridge and a great depth can be
had from the American river side where
all the work has been done.
Vein Has Great Width.
The vein on the surface on the west
end is covered by heavy wash, and can
only be seen where it has been uncover.
ed, but to the east the vein crops and
shows its strength for a long distance,
with an average width of 80 feet.
The development work that has been
done consists of cross cut tunnel,
which cuts the vein at 30 feet with a
depth of $50 feet The vein is then fol.
lowed for a distance of 200 feet, the
work being in the foot wall A cross.
cut in the vein near the breast of the
tunnel, shows 80 feet of good milling
grade on both walls. Where the vein
| is entered by the cross-cut it is badly
broken, but for only short distance,
when it takes its course and with a
strong dip to the south holds its own to
the end of the tunnel.
| Coarse Gold Panned
In several open cuts on the surface it
shows the ore shoot to be about 300
feet long, and by far the best surface
showing is some distance ahead of the
tunnel. The vein has never been thor
oughly sampled for assay, but while do
ing the work paintings were made every
day. In the cross-cut the entire 30
feet will pan, and the ore near either
wall shows coarse gold in the paintings.
The ore in the vein is very soft and
well oxidized, and is very free, and it is
expected that large percentage of the
values can be saved on the plates. The
foot wall is a soft, dikey material and
carries some values, while the hanging
wall is hard close grained diorite.
The breast of the tunnel has a depth
of $50 feet and considerable more car
i be had as the tunnel is driven ahead
Mr.. Litchfield has done all the work
! himself, and the greatest part has beer
!. done the past year.
= Location of Claims Excellent.
$ The claims are ideally located fol
}. economic working there being small
+ gulch running parallel to the claims OF
a the north which carries a fair head oi
a water for part Of the year. At present
Mr.. Litchfield is taking ditch from
this gulch and is getting ar17O fee
head from ditch 27O0 feet long. Tit
Y water will be used to run mill thai
o will be put on the property this fall.
