EXPERIENCED MINING MEN.

K. Il. Catching and Jesse Freeman,
of Wallace, Idaho, spent Sunday in
Oroyille, and while here visited and
inspected the o. *. mine on Kruger
mountain, and also took the oppor-
tunity to look over the mineral show
ings in that neighborhood. They ex-
pressed themselves as very much
pleased with tie evidence of the pres
ence of minerals in this locality, and
stated that they were of the opinion
from indications that deep mining on
Kruger would result in making mines.
An opinion from such a source has
weight and should be encouraging to
every claim holder in that neighbor-
hood, for Messrs. Catching and Free
man have operated in country where
mining has made fortunes for scores
ot people simply because mining has
been conducted on right principles. 1t
would be a fortunate thing for this
country if men experienced in mining
in such districts as the Coeur d'Alene
could be induced to come here, exam
inc properties and then take hold and
develop them.

A SPECTACULAR FIRE.

John Reed, of Loomis, returned Sat
urday from sojourn of a week or
ten days at Soap Lake, where he took
the waters for rheumatism, from
which ailment he has been great suf-
ferer for several months. In his case
the medicinal properties of the lake
water proved efficacious, and he re-
turned home feeling fine and fit. Mr.
Reed witnessed the recent wreck of a
freight train at Soap Lake, on the
Great Northern road, when property
to the value of 100000 was destroyed
There were three oil tanks in the
train. These tanks turned over, the
oil ignited destroying the other cars
According to Mr. Reeds account OF
the catastrophe it was spectacular
exhibition of fire works as explosion
followed explosion and the oil burned
fierCely.

DOING GOOD WORK.

Dell Hart returned last Friday even
ing from business trip to Seattle. He
reports that Fred W. Graham, immi-
grafton agent for the Great Northern
railroad. is fairly swamped with i'll
quiries regarding the opening of the
Colville reservation. These inquiries
come from all parts of the United
States, and would indicate that thous-
ands of people would take chances in
the land drawing. Mr.. Hart also states
that Mr. Graham is working constantly
to attract attention to this irrigation
district. and through his eXertions a
large number of Seattle people will at
tend the opening celebrations to be
held here and at Tonasket on the 18th
and Sth of June. From a business point
of view, according to Mr.. IIarts obser-
vations, Seattle does not display any
marked activity.

Fourteen Points on

Detroit, September 4-Miss Minneapolis,
of the Minneapolis Power Boat associa-
ton, averaging nearly so miles an hour
today won the second 30-mile heat of the
national power boat races here. She
crossed the line ahead in each of the six
laps and won in Las. Miss Detroit, the
cup defender, was second; Peter Pan
VII of the Columbia Yacht club, New
York. third, and Hawkeye of the Lake
George club, fourth The days sport was
marred by two accidents.
Baby Marold of Detroit after setting
up a new worlds record of 66 miles an
hour in the first lap, caught fire near
the finish of the second time around
and was destroyed. Her driver, John
Milot, of Detroit, was slightly burned.
The mechanician jumped overheard and
escaped uninjured. Breaking of the gaso-
line line caused the fire. The other &C.
cident, a collision of three express
cruisers, necessitated calling off the ex-
press cruiser race.
A holiday crowd of fully 100000 persons
witnessed the race.
Miss Minneapolis now has IA points on
the gold cup; Peter Pan VII and Miss

row, and on Wednesday the one-mile

stars will be on the decline before a
