OLD DOMINION
IS AGAIN ACTIVE

pay the freight, and the precious stuff
was on the high road to San Farncisco.
Frank R. Moore did pay the freight.
The net returns of that car of ore
never reached the knowledge of the
public, but it was thought to have been
about $25, 900. Frank R. Moore kept
faith with the boys, as he did with
every one, and his help to those three
prospectors, poor, penniess and detected
as they were, was the opening of the
foodgate of mineral wealth that has
since flown in countless millions into
the treasury house of Spokane.
Colville prospered too. The Fort had
been abandoned and Colville stood in
the middle of the valley region drawing
a meager support for couple of stores
and brewery, from the sparse settle
ments along the valley. Within
month after the first shipment of ore
from Old Dominion, there were nine
saloons. Formerly the wayfarer through
the town spread his bed in the loft of
some barn and ate at the campfire or a
farmhouse. Now the Old Dominion
hotel with many rooms and gaudily
papered walls, presented a towering,
and hospitable front to the traveller.
Stores came, and restaurants. Livery
stables and shops sprang up, all built
on Old Dominion money, many of them
by Benoist and Kearney themselves.
Benoist built hotel. Pat Kearney
built courthouse for the county, while
Billy Kearney financed many an enter
prise and helped many to engage in
the activities of life without requiring
the return of the money. The owner
ship of the property was divided into
25 units for convenience of the distribu-
tion of profits, and by this arrangement
each unit was to draw 81 900 per month
of the profits of the mine. Alexander
reduced his holdings to one unit, and
the remaining "a units were equally dis
tributed to the other three owners who
drew $4,000 per month, leaving the
balance of the proceeds to the mine for
development.
After operating the mine for about
three years, Benoist died. E. J. Brickle,
a Spokane millionaire. purchased the
holdings of all the owners and inaugural
ed an extensive system of develop
ment work. Brickle died in the early
nineties and the enterprise was carried
on under succeeding managements with
varied success. 1t is said that more
than a million dollars in metallic values
have been taken out of the property in
the last 80 years, and $3.50, 900 have
been put back in development work
alone after Brickle's death, numerous
bodies of right ore being cut by the IT,
900 feet of interior openings that have
been made in the form of tunnels,
shafts, upraises and drifts. The ex-
penditure for machinery at one time
was upwards of $100, 1000.
Along in the '90s the Old Dominion
had a large amount of improvement
work done, and under the management
of G. B. Dennis about $3.50, 900 was ex-
pended in improvements alone.

The treasury department is in
receipt of check from Postmas-
ter General Burleson for SO, 50O,-
900, representing the surplus in
the revenues of his department
for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1914. The previous years sur
plus of So, 800, 600 was also turned
in. In acknowledging the receipt
of the check, Secretary McAdoo
said these payments were the
first representing actual surpluses
made by the postoffice depart
ment since 1886.
Thanks to a democratic admin
istration which is not controlled
by the express companies, the
postal department is now being
made of real service to the people
in the matter of parcel post.
Why don't some one rise up and
cuss the president for permitting
this? Some one does! But it is
the express stockholder, not the
man on the ranch.

Haze You Seen a Stray
Meteor EASING This Way?

Has there been a stray meteor pass
ing your way recently? Prof. A Z.
Douglass, of the department Of physics
and astronomy, OF the University of
Arizona at Tucson, saw one passing
Tucson and he wants to know If it
came this way Writing The Herald
relative to the matter, he says:
"On Friday, January 8, I observed a
very handsome meteor passing in a
northerly direction. It appeared to US
low in the east If I am not mistaken
it may have passed over in the vicinity
Of Deming, Ell Paso, or possibly Alamo
gordo.
81 am, therefore, writing to each Of
these three places to learn if it was
observed by any one. II can find
out where it was wei seen and in what
part Of the sky. I will be able to ascer-
tain some interesting scientific facts
in regard to it and in regard to the
height Of our atmosphere
kindly make inquiries and see if you
can ascertain someone who saw it and
let me know in what direction il was
seen and in which direction it was
moving. The time by Mountain time
was five minutes past z in the evening"
If anyone saw the meteor the infOr-
nation should be sent the professor.

WHY

Why should Tom Lea wish to favor
Mr.. Coles by reducing the tax assess
ment of Cotton addition over $500. 900
as shown by his Friday night speech ?
Has he made any such promise to re-
duce assessments upon the home
owners? The Cotton addition prop
erty referred to is all vacant Its value
results from improvements made by
people east and west of tin Frank
lin Heights addition, Magoffin's addi-
tiOn, Alta Vista district, East El Paso,
Bassett's addition, Highland Park and
erty referred to is all vacant Its value
unearned increment Kelly and his
associates raised the assessment on
it. Tom Lea will lower it $500, 600
Who is the home owners friend? Who
has the correct idea of equalizing tax
acknowledgements
