POTTERY WORK IS A PUZZLE
Immense Bowls Made by Indians OF

An expert has declared there is no

none in the world, large enough 10

covered in the Amazon valley. samples
of which are now on exhibition al the
Museum of the University OF Peln,

aroused much curiosity. when
piece of the edge was clipped from
one of the big bowls the material was
shown to be black, flinty substance.
Undeniably it is clay. but of a kinu

Potters are astonished at its remark
able strength. The large bowls are
less than half an inch thick. while
some of the smaller ones. loot or
fourteen inches high are as thin as
sheet of newspaper. An idea CT their
strength may be gained from the
knowledge that they were transport
ed about ten thousand miles before
reaching the museum, and only re"
of them were broken, though all we're
packed under difficulties in villages
that knew nothing Of packing break
ables.
The Indians who made these wonder
full pots are as mysterious as thelr
work. Doctor Farrabee wrote that
they were absolutely devoid OF any
traditions, and had no idea of where
they came from. 1t is known, however.
that they cannot have been in Peru
more than about five hundred years.
The larger bowls give out metallic
sound when raped, One not. seeing
the substance would say at first they
were made of painted copper. Each OF
the two big pots would hold four or
five tons.

4 SLIGHT BUT NASTY HURT.

Last Wednesday afternoon Alton g..
Rice met with a peculiar accident by
which the first joint of the first and
second fingers of his right hand were
badly disfgured, so much so, indeed,
that he may lose the end of one of the
fingers, and the other will never re-
gain a symmetrical shape. He has a
chop mill at his place south of town
run by a gasoline engine. At the time Of
the accident he was standing alongside
of the mill watching an employee throw
ing corn stalks into the chopper. His
right hand was up near his breast and
he naturally dropped it to his side. He
felt slight jar and instantly thought
that his glove had caught in the cogs
on the running gear of the mill that
extended slightly from the side of the
machine. Removing his glove he was
mystified upon discovering that both
fingers, as stated above, were appar-
emily ground to a pulp. He at once
came to town and DR.. Lewis removed
shattered bones and dressed the in
jury. Strange to say Mr.. Rice felt no
pain at the tine of the accident, dur
ing treatment nor since

gain paid for by hard knocks.

The first goal was made in the first
quarter, when Okanogan secured a
touchdown on an incompleted forward
pass. OF course that would be impos
sible. However, to everybody on the
side lines it looked like an incomplet-
ed pass. but the umpire thought other
wise and the score counted. A wolfish
howl Of protest went pu, but the ruling
STOOD as 1t should, or the services of
an umpire would be useless. In the
secoRd quarter neither side scored,
although Oroyille worked down to the
seven yard line and a touchdown was
called for by the yapping crowd. Cole
tried q forward pass, but an agile Okla
noganite seized the ball, and the
chances for touchdown went a glim-
meripg. Okanogan scored in the third
and fourth quarters, managing to kick
goal once in three trials. One of the
touchcowns was won by a clean get-a-
way on forward pass, Baines rum
ing down 40 yards to the goal. 1t look
ed as though the other touchdown was
started after the whistle blew and the
locals became so obsessed by that idea
that much time was taken up in argu-
ment that failed to carry conviction
Again in the third stanza Oroville
managed to shove along to the ten
yard line, but a failure on a drop
kick eliminated further chances. Moss,
Richardson and Banes carried off the
honors for the visitors. All the Oro-
vile boys did what was expected of
them and more and deserve a full
measure of credit, but if any one in
dividual is to be singled out for spec
ial mention it should be Captain Nc
Mahan, who was here, there and ev-
erywhere, plunging into the stone
wall line, or making passes that he
has become noted for. Put twenty
pounds on the lad and he would hold
his own with the best of any high
school in the state can produce.

CUT THE LEDGE.

After long and anxious waiting
for an opportunity to make the an
nouncement the Gazette is at last
able to report that the Ivanhoe ore
has been encountered in the
big tunnel at the Ivanhoe mine, the
goal that the management has been
steadily working to reach for two
years.
The extent of the ledge is not
known at this writing, but the im-
portant fact that the Ivanhoe ore
has been cut proves that the lodges
on Palmer and Ellemeham noun
tains go down to depth and that is
what no operator nthe past has
gone far enough to determine. Sew
eral ledges and stringers have been
encountered in driving the tunnel,
but the quartz was altogether dit
ferent from that taken from the
shaft on the Ivanhoe lead years
ago, and which carried such high
values as to pay to ship the concen-
trates many, many miles to rail
road transportation. The quartz
just reached in the tunnel is iden-
tically the same as that taken from
the shaft.
The strike was made at noon on
Wednesday, at a point about 4,400
feet from the portal of the tunnel,
and at vertical depth of 1859
feet or some 1000 feet following
the dip of the vein. The extent OF
the ledge matter is not as yet
known, but the fact that the Ivan
hoe ore has at last been found is
cheering enough to feel mighty
good over, and sufficient to give
the property a great value.
Manager McChesney and Super
intendent Boyd are to be congraru-
lated upon at last demonstrating
the continuity of lodges in this
country. They have carried on
mining along systematic lines fol.
lowed in districts where mining
has been made profitable, and it is
the first instance where a mining
company operating in northern
Okanogan county has kept right on
in the face of all obstacles and car
ried out the object for which work
was originally inaugurated. With
out the old Ivanhoe ledge the
proposition was a success in the
matter of uncovering we'll mineral
ized leads, but the finding of the
chief ledge makes the 1vanhoe a
mine in fact as we'll as in. name.
The strike will be of inestimable
benefit to this upper country. 1t
proves that the mineral is IN the
mountains if those who hold claims
with favorable surface indications
will only go after the ore in the
right way If the Ivanhoe makes a
producer, and there now seems to
be no doubt on that score, there is
bound to be a great revival of min
ing in this vicinity, and revival of
investigation will make more
mines. Moreover, the making of a
few producing mines will do more
toward building up this part of Okla
hogan county, and especially Oro-
Vile, than the successful promo
tion of any other single industry

COMMUNICATED.

An interesting Thanksgiving pro-
gram was given by the pupils of the
south side school. Nearly 40 friends
and patrons of the school were present
and were loud in their praises of the
well rendered programme, which
speaks well for the interest and abil-
ity of the little performers as we'll as
for the good work ana constant efforts
of the teachers. The origin of the day
was portrayed with a genuine Thanks
giving spirit by the little ones, in cos
tune, representing the Pilgrim Faith
ers, mothers and children of nearly
800 years ago The little chefs of the
primary department won great ap-
plause, and rendered their part in n
way that would have secured them in
stant employment in any leading hotel.
If the spirit and enthusiasm shown in
the flag salute and flag song, given by
the intermediate department is any
indication of the universal sentiment
of the American people, President
Wilson need have no doubts regarding
most generous response to a call of
preparedness.

HARMONIOUS CAUCUS.

A very representative body of bust
ness men and property owners as
sembled in the town hall Tuesday
evening in response to the published
call for caucus to nominate three
councilmen and treasurer to be voted
for next Tuesday, and for the first
time since the incorporation OF the
town there was complete uninimity
of expression in making the selec-
tions. The work of the caucus was
speedily performed, e. N. Grubb was
chosen chairman, and J. A. Blackler,
secretary. c. W. Smith and ]. Friis
were named for the two year term as
councilmen and DR.. F. s. Beale for the
one year term. E. A. McMahan was
nominated for treasurer. All of these
gentlemen have served the town in the
several positions during the past year
faithfully and we'll and to the satisfac-
ton of the public generally, and it was
fitting recognition of the services
they have performed that they were
retained. From the general expression
of satisfaction manifested it is not at
all probable that any opposition will
develop election day, as has been SO
frequently the case in the past. The
action of the caucus followed the sug-
gestion advanced by the Gazette two
weeks ago, and we feel highly graft
fled to see the people of Oroville get
together and display such spirit Of
oneness. Now is a time when the citi-
zens of Oroville must stand shoulder
tc shoulder and lend united effort in
building up the town. The near future
holds out fair promise of speedy
growth, and that growth can be foster
ed and materially encouraged by the
community working together for a sin
gle purpose. The right spirit was on
display Tuesday evening. Keep it up.

DANCE AND SUPPER.

The proposed bazaar for the benefit
of the Oroville hospital, which was an
nounced several weeks ago to take
place on December 10th, has been
abandoned because it cOnfiicted with
bazaar to be held by the Ladies' Aid OF
the Methodist church The giving up OF
the bazaar does not mean that the hos
pital has abandoned the field and is not
to carry out at least part OF the pro-
gramme as originally laid down. 1t will
be remembered that besides bazaar
for the benefit of the hospital dance
and supper was to be given on Decem
ber 10th. The dance and supper will
be carried out, as that will not conflict
with the arrangements of the M. Il.
ladies'. 1t is proposed to make this
dance the largest that has ever taken
place in Oroville. Such attractions as
the very best music and a supper OF
exceptional excellence, together with
cause that will appeal to the generos-
sity of all manner of men, will be suf-
ficient to insure such a crowd as has
never before taken part in public en-
tertainment of this character in the
county. The hospital is an important
institution for Oroville. 1t does great
deal of charity work, and has no loca'
support other than that earned In
the natural course of business. ANY
aid through the medium of dance OF
other entertainment that could be eX-
| ended by the citizens of Oroville woulo
be a very neat way of expressing pub
| lie appreciation of the institution. Ev'
| erybody should invest in a ticket fol

s1.50 PER YEAR
MAKING A MINE.

| j. R. Marshall, of Seattle, who Is
engaged in developing the tungsten
claims near Cathedral Peak, high up
i'll the mountains west OF Loomis, came
in from the mines Saturday on his
way to the outside. Mr.. Marshall left
the mine Thursday morning in a bliz-
zard. The wind blew at such terrific
velocity, accompanied by snow that
he and his companion could neither
pitch tent nor build fire, so they
continued their journey all night, not
reaching Loomis until Friday morning
and then almost tagged out.
For all of the tremendous amount
of snow that has alveady fallen and
which will continue to fall throughout
the winter until very late in the spring
it is the intention of Mr. Marshall to
keep the trail to the mine open. He
is better pleased than ever with the
property that he secured from Herbert
Curtis. He has had a force of miners
working steadily, and the showing OF
ore is steadily improving both in
quantity and quality. He believes this
deposit of tungsten ore will prove to
be the largest in America, or any
where else for that matter and the
Equality cannot be surpassed. So we'll
satisfied is Mr. Marshall with the pros
pect that during the winter he intends
| n trpipbt into ha NINA n mill
electric plant and a stamp MILL The
haul is too great to justify the handl-
ing of raw ore, so it will be reduced
to concentrates right at the mine. Mr..
Marshall is enthusiastic over the out
look of making the property profit
able producer, Notwithstanding its re-
moteness from transportation and the
climatic handicap common to the
great altitude where the mine is sit
uated.
| If Mr.. Marshall succeeds as he an
ticipates and every indication points
to success, the mine will be worked
indefinitely, as the ore is so rare that
there is little danger of over produc-
ton. Developing this property to the
producing stage would do much to re-
store confidence in the mining indus
try of this county, which has suffered
seriously in the past through failure
due almost wholly to mismanagement.
Mr.. Marshall did not invest his means
for the purpose of promoting a stock
jobbing proposition. 1t was simply a
business venture. He was after tun-
gsten ore, and if the ore was there as
/. represented he proposed to get it out
and put it on tn market Work already
done satisfies him as to the presence
of the ore in far greater quantities
than he had reason to expect from
conservative representations made by
Mr.. Curtis, and the fact that he is to
lput in heavy and expensive machinery
over a rough trail at large cost is
convincing evidence that so far as he
is concerned he has no doubts as to
the ultimate result.
| Mr.. Marshall learned of molybdenum
| deposits over on the Methow, only a
| flies from his tungsten holdings, and
on his trip out he will examine the
property. If it proves to be anything
like what it has been represented he
will take it over and inaugurate
campaign of development.
