In looking over some of the Indian
handiwork in the Sites Pharmacy
there is an old cartridge pouch bearing
this INSCRIPTION stamped in the leather:
" Wilmington Arsenal, 1867 This old
pouch must have been kept among the
relics of some of the tribesmen for years
as memento of warfare days gone by.
JAS. McCaffery and the Orogrande
Gold Mining Co. have settled their diff
ferences out of court and the mine will
start operation again at once. New
machinery has been ordered and will
be installed this winter. Other i'm
provements will be made to get the
mine in preparation for next year g run.
Two feet of ore that glitters with
gold were struck yesterday in the Black
Pine mine. Tests by W. c. McNutt
showed values of SLIP to $1.27 to the
pound, or more than $4,000 to the ton.
The shoot is part of body that has
been drifted on 100 feet at the $50

Jacob Sites shipped ten ears of corn
in st. Paul soon. Mr.. Sites hopes to be
able to win silver trophy for his ex-
hibit. The corn sent was of first
quality although he says the ears were
not as large as can be produced in this
section. We would enjoy seeing him
win to exploit this section as corn
producer.
Elmer Steen and Mary Leonard both
of Sites were married on Thanks
giving Day by Justice of the Peace J.
b. Burney. Both of these young people
are Idaho products and are too well
known to need any introduction to the
people of Sites. They will make their
home on the homestead taken up by
Elmer two miles west of town.
We visited the Loyalty Creamery Co.
the first of the week and found them
very busy in the manufacture of but
ter They are producing about 900
pounds of first-class butter per week for
which they are receiving the highest
market price. The dairymen and
farmers of this section are receiving 40
cents per pound for their butter fat,
which is three to five cents higher than
competitive firms are paying for cream
in territory where there is no local
creamery competition. II. II. Highfield,
promoter of this enterprise, is elated |
over the fact that the farmers are able |
to get full value for their product and |
they are endeavoring to give it their
support. There is operated with the |
creamery cooperative store and ware
house.
