GOLD FROM TEN NILE.

Twenty-one ounces of placer gold
was brought out from the Ten Mile
last Saturday by John Kee. This am
ount was taken from the property be-
longing to S. G. McDaniels, William
Strike and John Kee, which is situated
five miles north of Golden and known
as the Ruby group. This gold is worth
$3.50 per ounce and was taken from
270 and one-third yards of dirt, meas
ured by surveyor, the result of six
teen days labor, and by crude pro-
cess. Messrs. McDaniels and Strike
departed today for the diggings and
will at once install more modern meth
DDS. Additional piping will be put in
and the work commenced from the
lower side of the ground, and as the
dirt is washed it will be run over in
to the canyon and dispensed with.
With the equipment that will be in
stalled the 270 yards could have been
handled in three days. The gnetlemen
will be absent two or three weeks.

Accident Near San Jose, Sun
day-In Passing Auto Ma
chine Turned Over.
HIS WIFE ALSO KILLED
News of Catastrophe Meager,
But Confirmed by Tele-
gram to Local Man.

Mr.. and Mrs. Patrick +. Courtney,
for many years residents of this coun-
ty, were killed in an automobile acci-
dent ON the state highway near San
Jose last Sunday, while out riding
with Mr.. and Mrs. j. ID. Courtney, and
family.
The first report received here was
in a message to l.. M. Harris, who has
been handling Mr.. Courtney's business
for a number OF years and conveyed
the information that Paddy" as he
was familiarly known here, and his
brothers wife had been killed and
that the other members of the party
had escaped with bruises. Monday
mornings Lewiston Tribune stated
that both Paddy and wife had lost
their lives in the accident, and to re-
lieve the tension Mr.. Harris wired San
Jose to ascertain its correctness and
! in the afternoon received an answer
| verifying the press dispatch.
The dispatch stated that the driver
! lost control of the machine when two
wheels caught on the edge of the pave
ment as he was attempting to get the
car back on the paved road after pass
ing another machine but it is not
known whether Mr.. Courtney was the
driver or not.
Shortly after the first of the year
Mr.. and Mrs. Courtney journeyed to
California to visit with his brother
and family and to look over the coun-
try, and while there purchased the ma
chine in which he ana wife lost their
lives, expecting later in the season to
make the trip home overland.
The news of the accident came as a
shock to the entire community in
which Mr. Courtney had lived for so
many years, coming here about the
time of the Buffalo Hump mining ex-
citement and locating In that section
where he remained until interest in the
camp went down. He then moved to
this place and went into business. He
was known to the early day mining
fraternity as one of the most generous
natures and the numbers to whom he
has rendered assistance in time of need
are legion, who, together with his ex-
tensive acquaintanceship and closer
neighbors, sincerely regret the sudden
taking off of both he and his esti-
mable wife.
1t has been rumored that the remains
were to be shipped to this place for
burial but we were unable to learn If
such is the case.

AMUSE M ENTS.
At the Casino,

WAITS" a pathetic story with d
happy outcome, was shown to appre-
ciative audiences at the Casino Sun
day evening. The story deals with a
young Episcopal clergyman who is I'M
frocked because his classmates at the
seminary put stick in the punch,
and Raeburn the hapless young stu
dent. is in despair, as he is in love
with the bishops daughter. He goes
down to the Sums, attempts suicide,
but is saved by Rags, a girl piano
player, who saves him from self de-
struction. Raeburn. with her help, opens
club for working men, does great
amount of good, and is reinstated by
the bishop. He determines TO marry
Rags, but she wisely realizes the young
minister is really in love with the
bishops daughter. and gives him up.
Acting that shows deep insight into
the characters they are playing marks
the work of Jane Grey, as Rags. and
William Desmond, as Raeburn. The
slum scenes, as we'll as the contrast
ing ones Of church surroundings, are
marked out with great care, making
the picture interes ting and we'll acted.
Charles Murray in a comedy, "A Love
Riot" completes the program.

ElGHTY-oNE LOTS, ALL OF ADDi-
TON, SOLD ON CONTRACTS
FOR $s5,e2o.
MOST REMARKABLE LOT
SALE IN ciTY's HISTORY
Sale Of North Third and Fourth Ave.
nue., That Was Scheduled to Extend
Thru Several Days, Closed in
Twenty-Four Hours - More Pur.
ehasers Than There Wore Lots.

The most remarkable and interest
ing lot sale in the history of the city.
which illustrates unusual phases of the
development of the city, was the sale
Saturday of the entire Binford Park
Place, comprising eighty one lots 'front.'
ing on Marion street, and Third and
Fourth avenues, and extending as far
north as Riverview park. On the con-
tract price the sale totaled sS5,62o. The
property was owned and plated by
Thaddeus Binford and was sold by the
Indianapolis, of which T. P. Walker is
sales manager.
The entire eighty-one lots were rold
by 10 o'clock Saturday forenoon. altho
the sale was not opened until early
that morning. Purchasers were allow
ed, however, to pick their lots Friday.
In addition to selling out there are
nearly 100 prospective purchasers who
were disappointed. but who were put
on the waiting list to take any lots
that were turned back.
Sale Under Fine Conditions.
Some peculiar and very interesting
features enter into this project and
illustrate the influence they had on the
sale. 1t will be noted that this is the
first effort ever made to open tract
fronting on a boulevard project, which
is to be beautified into an entrance to
the city park. 1t illustrates further
that buyers were eager to get lots on
a street that Is to be paved, which is
proof that development of the city fol-
lows quickest along paved streets.
1t also illustrates the faith in the
development of the city by so large a
number of individuals who were will
ing to invest. believing that the devel-
opment of that part of the city would
justify their investment.
Sold on Easy Terms.
The lots were priced at from $3.50
to $3.50. They ranged in size from so
by $50 feet to $40 by 1871 feet. The
terms were especially attractive. Lots

Favorable Weather
Makes Corr, Jump

Moderately warm temperature for
the last half week has caused a
greatly improved condition in the corn
prospect, which has become very much
more encouraging. Since Thursday
the temperature has ranged around 80
or slightly above. altho most Of the
nights have been fairly cool. The
shower Of early this morning was just
what was needed to mellow the freshly
stirred earth Of the corn fields in
which cultivators have been busy all
week. A return of warm weather fol-
lowing the rain, which if it covered
a wide area was very beneficial. will
push the corn ahead rapidly.
In the immediate vicinity Of the city
the corn stands all the way from three
or four inches high to stands that are
nearly knee high. The latter is the
corn that was planted early in May,
and the smallest corn was planted as
late as early this month. With normal
weather a great deal of the corn will
be knee high July 4. and if especially
favorable weather comes during the
next ten days most of the corn will be
knee high by the holiday.
