KAMIAH-WINoNA AUTO ROAD.

AS suggested by the members of the
Kamiah Commercial club, at their
meeting held few days ago the citi-
zens turned out in force last Tuesday
and "fixed" the road which leads
from Winona to Kamiah, through Seven
Mile canyon. Overy forty from here
were on the job and about ten, headed
by Dave Stansbury, from the top of the
hill.
It was a fine day everybody was
happy, the buzz wagons all working
fine no one was injured and much was
accomplished, fact is, "all things
worked together for good, +" we got that
from the minister, as he was there, and
Prof. Cobbs, too, and they are both
pretty fair signle hand workers. The
latter gentleman also was long on Gus
tard pie and returned from work just
in time to see the last of it disappear.
All of the loose rocks were removed
from top to bottom, and those that were
too large remove with crow-bar were
shot out with dynamite, so that any
make of car will now have plenty OF
clearance. Ed Grunewald had force
of men at work making the approaches
to the new bridge they had just con.
structed across lawyers creek, and
with possible exception of one little
bridge which is needed at the top OF
the hill, and which we understand is tt
be constructed right away, the road Il
in good shape for traffic.-Kam1ah

SOME PROPERTIES IN OPERATION,
OTHERS PREPARING TO oPEk-
ATE AND DEVELOPMENT
WORK BEING PUSHED.

Considerable news of activities in
the mining circles back in the hills have
reached the outside, and the spring
developments have been exceptionally
good in spite of one of the hardesr
winters on record and a late spring that
has made travel back in the mountains
quite difficult.
In the Ten Mile.
G. E. Sample, president of the Orienl
Mining Co., and Ed Gugler, treasurer,
came out from Golden last week bring
ing with them six and one half pounds
of gold which had been milled from
ore on the Buckhorn claims, property
of that company.
On the Lone Yellow Pine group, of
which John Harmon and Dolf Morrow,
are the owners, they have been working
one stamp mill by water power fur
nished by an overshot water wheel. The
returns per day have been $4,000 since
the mill has been in operation and this
has been a saving of free gold values
principally, the gold plating about $50
per ton. A careful test and weighing
of the first ton put through revealed a
cleanup of better than 9 ounces of gold.
New York Group.
Smith Brothers expect to start their
mill this week, which is about 212
miles from the New York mine. The
condition of the weather and the roads
have prevented getting ore to the mill
to run. There will be available how
ever large quantity of very high
grade ore from a rich ore shute struck
some time last fall. The returns from
the property in the mill run last winter
were about $21 900.
Wonder Group
The owners and operators of the
Wonder Group located at Golden have
crew busy at the present time putting
in road from Golden to the rive1
which will give road way through tt
Newsome. Excavation for the mil
house is being made and crew will p'
empoyed in getting out timbers. The
mill is at the river ready to be takei
up the hill when the road has been com
pleted and other machinery is at Stlte
awaiting better roads before beinl
taken in. A large amount OF hlgl
Grade ore is blocked out and availabl
for the first run of the mill whel
equipped. The arrangements are penn
made on a small scale and later lncreas
ed as development demands.
In addition to the work on the quart
properties in the Ten Mile district
several placer properties are bein
operated and it is reported that ther
will be big cleanups this year Tor Tn

A NARROW ESCAPE.

(From White Bird Correspondentl
On Tuesday of last week, little Jack
Napean, of Doumecq Plains, escaped
perhaps serious injury in runaway, by
the merest accident. The little fellow
was driving brush harrow, when the
team became frightened and ran away
with him. A two by four swung around
and knocked him down, thus rolling him
out of the way or he would have been
dragged to death. The harrow was torn
completely to pieces before the team
was stopped. 1t surely was a mar
row escape for Jack.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The Democratic National convention
is in session at st. Louis this week,
having convened Wednesday. A united
party and greatest enthusiasm marks
the meeting and according to the press
reports there is enthusiasm and conf.
dence on every hand. That President
Wilson will be renominated goes with
out saying and the only question in
doubt being the denomination OF wee
President Marshall who it is said would
not succeed himself. However late re,
ports are to the effect that there will
be little opposition to Marshall. The
nominations will probably be made TO-

FLIES COST MORE
OTHER TACKLE ALSO UP IN
PRICE-ANGLERS HERE EN-
PECT GOOD SEASON.

With the season at hand for bull
heads and pickerel, and with the near
approach of the open season for TAX
ing other game fish. local sportsmen
are looking forward to a productive
season with rod and reel. Although
there has been comparatively little
angling so far this spring a few good
catches of b%ullheads and pickerel
have been reported, and large num-
bers of perch have been seen in the
creek between Lake Madison and
Lake Herman. The open season for
perch starts May 10, and black bass
may be caught on and after Deco
ration day, May 80.
Lake Madison was restocked with
black bass and pickerel last year, and
local men who assisted in the restock.
ing have sent out requests that young
pickerel caught be returned to the
water.
Local Izaak Waltons, who are re.
plenishing their tackle boxes, have
learned that there has been an in
crease in the price of nearly all kinds
of fishing paraphernalia. Hooks,
steel rods, reels and even flies" cost
more than they did a year ago.
The increase in the price of fishing
equipment is attributed to the Euro
pean war.

EARLY RESORT Opening
FOUR EXCURSION BOATS AL
READY IN PROSPECT-BUSY
SEASON Is EXPECTED.

Present indications are that the
Lake Madison resort will be opened
earlier this spring than usual. Mem
bers of the board of directors of the
chautauqua association are consider
ing the ad~visability of opening the
big hotel and grounds shortly after
May l, which would be some two
weeks earlier than ordinarily.
The opinion is expressed that if
favored with average weather during
the summer, the resort this year will
receive a larger patronage than ever
before. The principal reason ad-
vanced for the theory is the growing
popularity of Lake Madison as a
warm weather retreat. Another one
is that on account of almost unbro-
ken stretches of unreasonable wealth
er last summer, many who are ac-
customed to take a few days or
weeks respite, each year, from the
dust and heat of the town, last sum-
mer forewent their customary jaunts.
The presumption is that such persons
will arrive at the resorts earlier and
remain longer this year than usual.
The road from the city to the lake
is to be improved, and several limo
vations at the lake are in prospect.
Among the new features will be a TO
boggan slide, it is expected.
Present indications are that there
will be four power excursion boats
ON the lake during the summer.
Mr.. Patton, of Chester. has pur-
chased the boat which was once OPP
Grated here by Will Gilbert and which
has not been in service on Lake Mad
ison for about four years. The
launch seats th~irty-five people. Mr..
Patton is having it overhauled, and is
installing in it a late model engine.
Tony Gould is also o~verhauling his
boat, in anticipation of an early open
ing of the resort season. Among
changes to be made in Mr.. Gould's
boat is the installing of a 24-inch
propeller and a three cylinder engine
The boat has a capacity of fifty pas.
sengers.
The boats Irene and Sirene, owned
by Bert Stacy, are being put in shape
for the seasons excursion business
The Sirene, which which was operat
ed on the lake last year, has a capac.
ity of twenty-siX passengers. 1t il

Irene, with accommodations for thir
ty passengers, was u on Lake Mad
ison for a while last summer by San
Kegrice. A new motor is to be in
