LEASE THE q. X.

Fred Neal, Jack Gormerly and Tim
Griffin, the last two old and experience
ed prospectors and miners. have taken
a lease on the o. K, mine on Kruger
mountain and started work this week
with the object of shipping as rapidly
las the ore is extracted. The o. K, is
'owned by George Blackwell of River
Iside. and considerable development has
been done on the property in past
years, showing up considerable ore of
Igood quality. The prospect certainly
warrants these men in taking hold at
this time or with their knowledge of
mining they would not do so. People
laround here will watch proceedings
with a great deal of interest. for the
general belief is that under develop
ment several properties on Kruger
mountain are sure to make paying
mines. There are a number Of partially
Iprospected claims within a radius of a
few miles on the mountain. all of them
Showing ore OF good value. and 1t
would really seem all that is necessary

PVSTULAR DECORATIONS.

Measles have broken out in the val
lev with the commencement OF cold
weather and some of the neighDorlng
communities are hard hit. Orovllle is
not to escape the scorge this year. Last
year there were scores OF cases III all
the surrounding country, yet strange
TO say, not a single case made its ap-
pearance in Oroville, This immunity
was purely accidental and could not
be accounted for at the time. The
mild. yet annoying, and extremely
Icontagious disease broke out in town
last week. There have been many cases
down the valley. so it is reported ana
IOroville could not hope TO escape the
second visitation So far only some
half a dozen cases have developed. but
lDr Elmer considered the situation sur
laciently alarming to justify the CLOS
ing of the schools for week. An Or
der has been issued prohibiting all
,public meetings as well as closing the
schools for the time being.

GRAND TREAT TONIGHT.

The famous Royal Gwent Welsh
Male singers, one of the very best
musical companies on the road. will
Iappear in the Orpheum this evening
lunder the auspices of the OroviIle
band, and the people of this place are
lassnred of one of the most delightful
lmusica Entertainments that has ever
lbeen their pleasure to hear. There are
Isome dozen singers in the troupe, and
Ievery one an artist. 1t is to be regret
ted that the coming of this company
was not known sooner so that greater
publicity could have been given TO the
levent Owing to its size the company
seldom appears in towns as small as
O"oville, and the opportunity to enjoy
such treat is owing to the fact that
the members have to remain over in
town all night making their circuit.
: The daily Vancouver, B. c. News-Ad-
Ivertiser has this to say of the appear
ance OF the troupe in that city:
| Gallant little Wales, world-famed
tfor her singers. never did better than
last night, when the famous Royal
iGwent Welsh Male Singers delighted
| an appreciative audience at the Avenue
Theatre. The technique. expression,
lprecision of phrasing and purity and
Ipower of tone from bass to alto. was
wonderfully perfect. in fact the whole
performance was so charmingly beau
itiful that the most eXacting critic
would be full of praises for these born
singers. This choir has had a magnifi-
cent reception on the American CONT
nent since July II. 1915.
All the singers are from South
iWales. Mr.. David John the director,
| has had a successful career in the
work for 23 years and was director for
t22 years of the Salem Baptist Church,
| Maestag.
The program was of most diversl-
| fled nature from the famous Welsh

uuartette. Every singer acquitted him

with glory. Mr. Dewi Michael shone

AN UNNECESSARY JAB.

The Omak Chronicle says that
|"Oroville and the Methow made some
wonderful fine trades and got by quite
nicely" The Chronicle is the most
suspicious paper in the county and is
always finding a niger in the wood
pile whenever a neighboring town
starts in TO do anything. This paper
challenges the Chronicle to point out a
single instance wherein a trade was
made between Oroville and the Me
thown. The vote of Oroville is open to
inspection, and the figures do not show
that a trade of any character was
made. Candidates running for office
who visited Oroville during the cam
paign were firmly told that any KIND
of a combine was out of the question.
|Oroville had one and only one object
in view That object was accomplish
ed without sacrificing any other can
didate. 1t comes with q mighty poor
grace from the Chronicle to criticise
the voters of other precincts when 1t
boasts that Omak voters always stand
pat. 1t is not known what the word
means, but the inference is that the
voters stand firmly together.

BELIEVES IN THE COUNTRY.

| A. w. Boyd who has been with the
lvanhoe mine as superintendent of
underground work since development
first commenced on that group of
Iclaims, was in town over Sunday on
lone Of his occasional business visits.
Mr.. Boyd is very much of an authority
on mining, as he has accumulated
much knowledge from years of prac-
ltical experience as prospector and
Operator He has worked In and had
Icharge of mines that were profitable
producers, has prospected, handled a
ldrill and directed the work of others.
He is familiar with treatment plants,
minerals. formations and all things
pertaining TO mining, and his judg-
lment as to the general merits and pos
sibiities of a mineral bearing district
$50 far as apparent to the eye, Is
worthy of consideration. From what
he has seen in Northern Okanogan
county Mr. Boyd IL convinced that
there is mineral here in quantity and
quality to justify extensive explora-
ton He declares that this is not
poor man 8 country In the matter of
mining, but he feels satisfied that un-
der thorough system of investigation
there are claims in this neighborhood
| that can be worked at Il profit. His

land sees millions in it, but from care
Iful observation together with his eX-
perience carrying on development at
itho lvanhoe
We have heard others during the
past score of years who had license to
express an opinion upon the subject,
make the same general assertion. So
far with all the mining that has been
carried on in the north part of the
county, there never yet has been an
individual, or company, commanding
sufficient means to make thorough
test of the mineral possibilities in the
way of deep mining. 1t is true that
vast sums have been recklessly and
ignOrantly thrown way in mining
operations, but there is not an instance
where a man with a reputation as a
successful operator and experience in
|conjunction with that reputation. has
had charge of a property with surface
merit with sufficient money at his
command to continue development un-
It'll he could demonstrate to a finality
whether pay ore existed in the coun-
TRY. There have been instances where
work has proceeded so far as to prove
tine presence of ore both of value and
quantity, but just at that time. the
operator would run out of means, or
Isome complication would arise neces-
|sitating shutting down. The truth of
this statement is eXemplified in the
old Judge group, in the Ruby, the Col
den Zone, and more recently in the
lvanhoe
Mining in northern Okanogan coun-
ty is certainly in disrepute at the pres
ent time, yet such men as Mr.. Boyd
whose knowledge has not been gained
through hasty and superficial eXamin-
alton of the surface, or a few prospect
holes, have no hesitancy in declaring
that some day mining will be carried
on in this district as it has been car
iried on successfully in other parts of
the west where that industry has made
fortunes for those SO engaged, and
then Okanogan county will at last

LUCKY ESCAPE.

Prosecuting Attorney Johnson, of
Okanogan was in Oroville Friday last
on business connected with his office.
Mr.. Johnson has reason for congratu-
lating himself that he had no opposi-
ton for the office of prosecuting at
torney. Even in that case there is no
doubt but that he would have been
reelected, for he has made an active
and efficient official, while running
his office at minimum of cost to the
|county, but voters were so erratic in
casting their ballots this year that
true worth in office seemed to have
little influence upon the voter in max
ing a choice and the uncertainty of
the result for few days was strain
on those who had opposition, yet
finally pulled through. All that Mr..
johnson escaped
