member of the legislature from Lin
coin county, several prominent Daven-
port business men and farmers and j.
l.. Harper recently organized, are
changing from lead-silver to copper.
Copper, assaying as high as 5 per
cent across 20-foot vein, was en-
countered last Monday in the 90-foot
shaft, and the company is planning to
continue sinking to the 1000-foOt lev
|el, British Columbia capitalists hav-
ing agreed to furnish funds to con-
struct and operate 25O-ton sampling
works at OrOville to treat the output,
work ON the plant to begin in a short
time, according to Mr.. Reiter.
The vein on the Caaba one of the
three Properties in the Oroville dis
trict controlled by the United Mines
company, averages IL to 20 feet wide
for 800 feet said Mr.. Reiter yester-
day. THE lead-silver values to the
point where the copper was encoun-
tered run from "a to $40 the ton, the
average being about 81. Shafts have
been sunk at both ends of the shoot,
one of them being down 70 feet and
the other 80 feet.
I'VE have ample facilities for treat
ing the low grade ore, the company
having 20-stamp mill near the Caaba
and also 10-stamp mill and Cotton
Morris pulverizer, driven by a hydro
electric power plant, on the Owasco
group, which we have under option,
rive miles distant. This, with the
sampling works, which will be under
construction in about 80 days, money
for it's installation now being avail
able, will treat our entire output for
some time, but in the event of our
requiring additional facilities they
are Obtainable nearby"

WORKING THE PRIZE

The Ellemeham Developing and Op-
Grating company is again working the
old Prize mine, near Palmer lake, one
of the best prospects in this part OF
the county, that is getting along in
the producing class. The mill has
been considerably enlarged permit
ing of the treatment of much more ore
daily, and a process introduced that
will save the loses in the tailings
which amounted to considerable dur
ing former operations of the mill.
With the increased capacity OF output
and improved methods of treatment it
is expected that far better showing
will be made this year, and the true
value of the property fully established.
Frank I. Seifert, an old member of
the Prize mining company, and a
heavy stockholder in the organization.
With Louis Blesh, another original
member of the company largely inter-
ested therein, are present at the mine.
They are we'll satisfied with the work
done and the showing made by the
force in charge last year, and expect
to see the boys do even better as the
work proceeds this year. During the
past year a quantity of concentrates
from the Prize mine, and the ship
ments ran $404.9O to the ton. With
the amount of ore in sight, and the
improved means of tree tment is it ex-
pected that shipments OF concentrates
will be largely augmented this year.
With the same results as to returns
in values the Prize promises to be on
velvet before the close of the years
r,rn tvi hct 70 hn TO-
ing showing of values in the concen
trates treated, still there was consid-
cradle loss last year. The tailings
were carefully and thoroughly sampl-
ed by committee of the stockholders
this spring, and the assays gave val
ue of $3.50, and this does not allow for
such loss as may have occurred at the
furnace in use at the mine. With such
a loss confronting them the company
did we'll to install some new method
of treatment to reduce the shrinkage
of values, through losses
The claims owned by the Ellemeham
Operating and Developing company
are on the southwest slope of Elem
cham mountain, and have been work
ed spasmodically for great many
years. Much of the work added no
value to the property, as 1t was much
in the nature of gophering, with ap-
parently no real object in view SO far
as making mine. Under the presents
a different system has
been followed, the making of pro-
ducing mine being kept constantly in
view. The lodges are strong and well
defined in the old Prize. and carry
good average values. If the company
has the means to continue work, and
the same plan of making every dollar
expended count in opening up ore re-
serves the Prize is going to become
a valuable holding.

BREAKING GAME LAWS

One day last week w. e. Bogges,
living on the Forde place, went out
to repair fences and took his gun
along for the purpose of taking few
shots at crows, if the black birds
came anywhere within shooting dist
ance. While engaged at work flock
of geese came sailing down the val
ley. Mr.. Bogges could not resist the
tantalizing temptation and took a
crack at the geese. The birds were
so far away that the shot had no 9TH
er effect than to throw a scare into
them, but unluckily for the shooter
Deputy Game Warden Ed. Orth wit
messed the shooting. Mr.. Orth, as in
duty bound, swOre out a complaint
before Judge Parsons. Bogges was
hailed before his honor, explained how
1t came that he was tempted and fell,
and was let off with fine of 81 and
costs. 1t was not an aggravated case,
hence the mildness of the punishment.
Others who may feel inclined to break
the game law must not make the mis-
take of imagining that one plunk is
going to be the standard assessment
for violation of the statutes, for if
they do some one is going to have his
bank account severely warped.

OFF FOR A LONG REST

Mr.. and Mrs. Morris CASTILLO left
Monday for Soap lake, where they
will remain for a short time, then go
on to Sattle for a visit, and from
that city return to their old home at
Fargo, North Dakota. ith their de-
parture goes a couple who have been
identified with Oroville ever since the
railroad built into the town. Mr.. Cas-
tello has been connected with the
Great Northern in one capacity and
another for years, and when Oroville
became a station he was placed in
charge of the office. He has been
continuously on that job, without rest
ployee of that corporation, that num-
bers its employees by the thousands,
ever worked more faithfully for the
company. His duties were arduous
and exacting, and his hours of labor
have never been restricted by the
mandates of union. He felt it in
cumbent upon himself to do what was
expected of him, and for too long a
time he did more than any one man
should be expected to do, and he did
it, no matter how many hours were
consumed in the doing. Slowly
methodically, accurately he did his
work, even if the accomplishment re-
quired digging until late in the night
Giant though he is in statute and
physical proportions the steady, the
constant grind, with its wear and tear
with no time taken for recuperation
finally told even upon his fine ply
sique and nerves, and he broke down
at last under the strain, and now goes
off seeking to recover some of his for
mer strength and vitality.
With all his labor and annoyances
inseparatable from the character OF
work in hand, MIR. CASTILLO was one OF
the most even tempered men ever
holding similar position, and was
uniformly courteous and accommodat.

Warren acted as interlocutor, with
Miss Maud Keller and Miss Merle
Payne at the ends. Misses Constance
Grleger, Edith Washburne, Daisy
Stansbury, Ruth McCammon, Hermina
Grieger, Hazel Mallory, Fannie Payne
and Helen Grieger rounded out the
circle. The cloudy aggregation band
ed quilps and jokes backward and for
ward with the cele = of a rapid fire
gun. The jokes werp-all in the nature
of local hits, and few escaped a prod
from the witty young ladies. The
quirks kept the audience in a con-
stant roar. Interspersing this ex-
change of pleasantries were several
skits that added variety and piQuancy
to the program. Clifford Warren gave
a defamation entitled, Maria and the
Mouse" A pleasing solo, Honey
Child" was rendered by Miss Hermina
Grieger. Miss Ruth McCammon and
Miss Hermina Grieger sang a duet,
When the Dew is on the Rose," in
excellent voice. Edith Washburne's
song and dance, Chicken" was clev-
erly executed. Mark Mitchell and
Aubray McMahan, in a makeup that
was scream, gave a cOrnet solo.
Little Constance Grieger won the
house in her solo, Little Black Boy"
and in response to a recall sang
Santa Lucia" in Italian. The hit of
the vaudeville stunts was duet, "Mr.
Johnson, Shame on You," by Miss
Helen Hamisch and Miss Eliza Grath-
void, the latter making up as very
cOlored lad.
At the close of the performance the
young folks, and liberal sprinkling
OF those of more mature years, re-
manned and took part in a social
dance, which proved to be most de-
lightful close to a most delightful
evening

M'FARlAND'S PARTY.
Christmas Happily Celebrated :
Farnsworth Home.

| One of the most sdccessful of the
Christmas parties which will take
place this season took place last even
ing at the home of Mrs. Fred Farns-
worth at 1900 West Tenth street
when 81 youngsters were entertained
as the guests of Hugh Mcfarland,
judge, and Edward Rooney, probation
officer of the juvenile court. 1t was
the second annual party for the boys
with whom the two men come in con-
tact in their official capacities. Some
of the boys were friends of wards of
the court. All of them came bent on
a good time and they had it.
The party left the courthouse where
it assembled al Judge MacFarland's
office, riding on the big Hinkson auto
truck, loaned for the occasion. For
lowered around the office and in the
courthouse corridors, coming early to
