STEWARDS MINE TO
! Be SHIPPER SOON
Company of Which Kennewick
Man is Manager is Nearly
Ready to Market Ore

Ferry County will have another
shipping mine next week. 1t is the
Laurier mine at Laurier, the boundary
town on the Spokane Falls and North
ern railroad from Marcus to Oroville,
IL miles this side of Grand Forks, B.
c., says the Spokesman-Review.
The property has an interesting
history. It was located the day in
1896 that the north half Of the Colville
Indian reservation was thrown open
to mineral entry and has been under
more or less steady development ever
since by two Of the original owners,
Dayton and Grant Stewart.
Spokane People Interested
At various times one and another
of their friends have helped to finance
operations, so that now quite q num-
Der of Spokane people are interested
in the success of the venture. The
property is Incorporated as the Laur-
Ter Mining company and the principal
stockholders are:
Grant Stewart, manager; Dayton
Stewart, Leo Greenough and other
members of the Greenough family, -.
X. Erwin, j. T. ONO, w. H. Stowell
and the estate of the late DR.. D.. c.
Newman.
About year ago the tunnel which
was being driven to tap the vein on
the 1OO-foot level broke into seven
foot ledge of fine ore. Since then
work has been prosecuted on this
level and in an upraise to connect
with a 55-foot shaft sunk in the OUT
CROP. This work resulted in the ex-
traction Of so much ore that no room
could be found to store it, the mine
being situated on the nearly perpen-
dicular mountainside overlooking the
railroad at Laurier.
Tramway Nearly Completed
A contract for 21O0-foot tramway
,voe let to b. C. Riblet and this tram
wav from the mine dump to the load
inc station on q new siding Of the
railroad, is expected to go into OPP
Grafton the end Of this week.

are reported to show seven feet Of pyr-

What Spokane people, at least some

Was it Canaan or was it Ascalor
where the men had to swing the
grapes on a crowbar between them on
their shoulders, in order to carry the
punches, they were so large? So with
the Flame Tokays, Hamburgs and
Muscats received from Kennewick
through the thoughtfulness of your
good selves.
Now, with such perfection in fruit,
why should we worry if the Kaiser
annexes all Of Southern France? We
have Kennewick on the Columbia

ONE MORE NEEDED TO
GET NORMAL SCOOL

Miss Bertha c. Knemeyer, deputy
district school superintendent for Ell
ko county, writes the Independent
from Mason, Nevada, where she is
visiting, that she feels Elko is assured
of getting normal school. She says:
1 am almost convinced that chances
are in our favor for the establishing
of Normal School in Elko. have
three applicants and am almost sure
of a.fourth."
1t requires five applicants in order
TO get the necessary state aid for the
establishment of a normal course in
Elko. The state furnishes the teach
ers and Elko must supply the build
ing.
Quite number of the high school
graduates last year are going to at
tend the university at Reno this win
ter. But surely there is one more
who wants TO take the normal course
here in Elko.
If there is, all that is necessary is
TO write Miss Knemeyer and the norm
M school in Elko will be assured.

reasons for INVOKING the section of the

1t is not brutal, and in fact the law

The purpose and effect of the law
are ;Jentically the same as laws pro-

We commend the work of all our
officials in connection with this case.
The executive officials left no stone
