FINAL DECISION

Mention was made last week that little
work has been done on the Rich Bar mine
for some time. There was a reason for
this failure to carry on operations AZ
ter the Rich Bar was located Joe Gensey
filed a homestead on land that confiicted
with the mining claims, and when the
homesteader offered final proof the COM
pany contested and asked that the home-
stead application be cancelled. The con-
test was decided in favor of the contest
ants in the lower courts and was carried
by the contestee clear up to the secre-
tary of the interior. 1t was designated as
Rich Bar Mining company vs. Joseph
Gensey. tried first in the Waterville land
office. and taken to the secretary of the
interior on appeal from the commissioner
of the general land office. The secretary
rendered a decision in the case December
&c. 1914 in this language:
This is an appeal by Joseph Gensey
from the decision of the Commissioner of
the General Land Office dated March 3,
1914, holding for cancellation his home-
stead entry No. 1924. made May Is, 1900,
"a Waterville. Washington, for lots s, 6,
:, and s. section II, township 40 north,
range 26 E. w. NJ. insofar as it confiicted
with the Edna, Great Northern, Great
Northern Extension and New Era lode
mining claims. and the Nugget placer
claim of the Rich Bar Mining company.
THE decision is correct and is. there
fore, confirmed"
The decision, after the case had dragg-
ed over several years, removes a cog that
has interfered with the wheels of progress
at the Rich Bar mine. and If times were
any thing but what they are just now ex-
tensixe work might be expected on that
property. Possibly under the cheering
influence of this last verdict, and the en-
couraging showing at the mine. the COM
pany may be able to raise the where
withal to push development far enough
to determine the real value of the mine
Then if it proves to be all that it prom
ises at this time it will not be necessary
to go out on the byways and spar fol
cash. The mine will produce the money
not only to keep up steady work, but tc
reimburse those who took chance in the
gamble.

A BOY WHO MADE GOOD

John d. Kearns, of Vancouver. B. c.,
stopped over in Oroville last Thursday
night on his way to Princeton and other
points across the line. Twenty years
ago Mr.. Kearns was a precautions yet in
tcresting little cuss knocking around his
fathers hotel at Coulee City, the pet of
the patrons of the house and as full of
joy as younk kitten. From Coulee City
the family moved to the Wyandotte mine.
on the Similkameen, which was then run
ming at full blast, and subsequently NOV
ell to Fairview. In the anything but ben
eficial atmosphere Of these small western
mining camps John Kearn grew up to be
self reliant, capable, Industrious and
eventually prosperous business man. He
had the right stuff in him or he would
not have been where he is today. He was
ambitious to make something Of himself,
and has succeeded. Too often boys that
grow up amidst the surroundings of min
ing camps follow the lines of least re-
slstence. They have no aim in life other
than a mere existence at the expense OF
the least eXertion The life and examples
around them are not elevating and are
generally of a kind that lead to the down
ward path unless youth has the will
power to resist temptation. Johnnie
Kearns had the will and the desire to i'm
prove himself and the moral stamina to
presist in his efforts for betterment and
now he is a fine specimen of the self
made manly man, well set up, pleasant,
genial and congenial gentleman. Those
who knew him as lad are more than
pleased to see him make good, and his
success in the battle of life should be
shining example to other lads who have
no more opportunity in early life than he
had.

AN IMPORTANT PROPOSITION
TO BE DISCUSSED AT A PUBLIC
MEETING NEXT WEDNES-
DAY EVENING
Every Property Owner and Citizen
Should be Present and Take
Part in Proceedings

There will be public meeting of
citizens and property, owners held in
Odd Fellows hall next Wednesday
evening, February 3, at $3.50 o'clock,
for the purpose of discussing and CON
sidering the advisability of providing
Il sewer system for the north part of
town. Besides this particular ques-
ton of municipal improvement other
propositions of vital Importance to the
community will probably be taken up
and considered. The ladies of the Re-
hekah lodge will serve a supper during
the evening for IA nominal sum per
plate. All are cordially invited to b.
present and take part in the proceed
ings.
This meeting has grown out of an
application to the town council to
make some provision for the construc-
ton of a trunk sewer on Central ave-
nue.. The town is still small to take
measures for providing sewerage,
system, but it is one of the most nee
essary and important civic improve
ments that a community has to pro-
vide for. That a sewer would be
great convenience, that it is indeed
a great necessity for the health of the
community, no one can deny. 1t is one
of those expensive drainage require
ments that every city of any size must
provide, and if Oroville is ever to grow
beyond it's present dimensions sewers
must be considered and supplied
Quite number feel that the time for
putting in sewers is before the street
grades are established and the streets
permanently macadamed or paved. 1t
is further felt that II sewers are to
be constructed they should be put in
or plans that would meet the require
ments of the future as we'll as the
present. Few, if any, Of our citizens
know anything definite about sewer
construction or probable cost, and be-
fore any action could be taken it
would be necessary to secure expert
information and comprehensive figures
as to probable cost. But all that is
details to be worked out in the future.
OF course property owners in the i'm
mediate district where the initial sew
er is suggested are the ones most di-
rectly interested, although the propo-
sition may be important to the entire
community, for they are the ones who
will have to meet the cost. 1t Is for
the purpose Of considering this public
improvement from every point of view,
and securing the opinion of those who
will have to meet the cost, that this
public meeting has been called, and it
1t is urged upon every resident of the
district to be present and have a voice
in the proceedings.

CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

Next Friday evening, February 5, is
to be a red letter day for the Oroville
high school. On that evening de-
bate will be held in the high school
auditorium between teams from Con-
conully and local high school. The
subjects under debate will be the
single tax question, which will be very
Interestingly handled by the young
orators. After the debate the basket
ball teams of the two schools meet in
the final game of the season to decide
the championship of the county.
Neither team has been defeated this
season, and the game promises to be
the fastest and most exciting ever
played in the county. The two events
should draw the largest crowd that
has ever assembled in the school
house. The school is entitled to the
support of every citizen, and in return
the pupils will give the patrons more
fun, pleasure, and thrills than has
ever been provided for the same in
vestment in Oroville. If you don't like
basket ball you will enjoy the debate;
and if debating does not appeal to you
the game surely will.

DESTROYED by fire The building was own

destroyed by fire. The building was own
ed by Geo. II. Ellis and Jas. e. Forde. A
portion of the building was new, having
been finished only last fall The oc-
cupants carried a six year lease. Both
Mr. Ellis and Mr.. FOrde were in OrOville
when the news of the fire reached them
Friday and Mr.. Ellis left Saturday for
Wenatchee. Just for what amount the
building was insured and the loss sus-
tanned by Messrs. Ellis and Forde is not
known, but the fire was serious mis-
fortune at this time when business con-
ditions are in such state of uncertainty.
The direct loss by the destruction of the
building is considerable. and the loss of
rental will be very large. At the present
time it is not known as to whether or
not the firm will rebuild.
Messrs. Ellis and Forde have been
heavy losers from fire during the years
they have been engaged in business in
north central Washington. and the total
sum would foot up to a comfortable for
tune. The first fire a number of years
ago, when their store in Oroville was
completely destroyed with all it's con-
tents. The firm had just put in stock
of goods to last year. No insurance
could be procured at that time on build
ings in the old town Of Oro, hence the
loss was total, and the firm was set back
to the tune of $40, 900. A few years later
they put in a store at Republic. A fire
broke out in the block and the Ellis
F'orde establishment was consumed in the
general conflagration. Again no insur-
ance. The loss ran up far into the thous-
ands. Some three or four years ago the
big Wenatchee store had its baptism OF
fire, but in that instance they were lucky
in being fully insured. This last fire at
Cashmere is a hard blow, coming just
now when times are out of joint Being
men of energy and resourcefuness the
firm, though hard hit. speedily recovered
from former losses by fire, and as they
are still in their prime. with the ability
to succeed If success is possible, they will
recover from this last fiery experience,
although just now the opportunities are
not what they were in the earlier days OF
their commercial endeavors.

paragraph in the new revenue laws bear
ing upon the war" tax on promisory

their names to promisory note, but nee

that case it is just as we'll that the bor-

.PAR|.MUTUEL IS ON
TRIAL At PHOENIX

PHOENIX, Nov. 9.-With a view to
testing the law regarding it's OPERA
tiOn, a pari-mutuel machine was op-
Grated at the State Fair grounds at
a matched race today. Bets were ac-
cepted and received, about thirty
five tickets being sold.
The machine, which was brought
here from Colorado, was operated by
Judge Mccall of Servoss. A COM
plaint has been sworn to against him
on charge of operating a gambling
device, and it is expected that the
matter will be decided in the courts
this week. Local promoters of the
pari-mutuel system declare that there
is no law against it's operation in this
state, and in case of a favorable de-
cision are planning to operate the
machines at a winter race meet as
we'll as at the State Fair next week,
The legislature last winter passed a
bill providing for a state racing
commission and the operation of the
pari-mutuel system, but it was We

100 injured by tornado which swept
over Great Bend this evening It is
estimated that the property loss will
reach over 100000. Three flouring

START SHIPPING ORE
FROM BENDIGO MINE

PARKER, Ariz., Nov. 11.-A car
load of ore is to be shipped this
week from the Bendigo mine to the
Hayden smelter Development work
is progressing in a highly satisfac-
tory manner. - Extensive development
is being undertaken on the 150-foot
level, where ore running better than
500 ton in copper, silver and gold
has been cut. 1t is expected to con-
tinue production at the rate of two
carloads a month.
A part of the Bendigo property is
overlaid by vast deposit of gypsum,
estimated to contain not less than
100000 tons. The company is now
considering entering into contract
for the delivery of 25O,OOO tons, during
the next two years, to Los Angeles

HEAVY RAINS HELP
The YAvAPA| MINERS

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Nov. 11.-Heayy
rains have been of incalculable bene-
fit to the mining industry in Yavapai
county during the past week. Creeks
that have been dry for months are
now carrying large streams of water
and a number of idle mills will be
enabled to resume operations without
delay. During the last three months
four new reduction plants have been
completed, but have not been placed
in operation because of the prevail
ing scarcity of water.
The mill at the Cash mine, near
Maxton, is now to be operated three
shifts day instead of one, as plenty
of water is available. This mill has
been producing a carload of high
grade concentrate every month and it's
production should be we'll nigh
trebled.
Placer miners are also enabled to
resume washing the golden treasure
from the earth. This form of mining
is receiving more attention in Yavapai
than since pioneer days and several
important deals in placer ground have
recently been closed.
An engineer named Paul Dyson is
at Placerita, making final examina-
ton of the old field there. 1t is re-
ported that he has already ordered
machinery for wet washing process.
The Ell Dorado, on Lynx Creek,
and the Wichert, on the Hassayampa,
are both being worked. Their owners
are recovering satisfactory gold values
by wet washing.
Lynx Creek property small placer
mill of unique design. The stamps
are small and set in a battery of cir
cular construction, with copper plates
surrounding them. 1t is said that the
mill is admirably adapted to treating
free ores and it is being watched with
much interest.
Another carload Of concentrate has
been shipped from the Dunkirk mine,
on Slate Creek, to the Hayden smelter.
This makes the fourteenth car to go
forward from that property in the
last three months. The mill is treat
ing $50 ton in copper, SIS in silver
and $5 in gold.
Jules Baumann has gone to st.
Paul to confer with the stockholders
Of the Baumann Mines company re-
garding a large line of explorations
that he has planned. While he is
gone a wagon road one mile in length
will be built to afford easy access to
the point where the main camp is to
be established. A small force of min
ers are doing preliminary work at a
point where a large tonnage of rich
copper ore was taken out few years
ago.
