MINING NEWS OF PEARL
DISTRICT
Ohio Mining Company Prepar-
ing for WOrk-Deal Pend
ing for Checkmate.

Pearl, August 15.-The Ohio Min
ing Co. started taking the water out
Of their shaft this morning, August Is
For the past two weeks they have had
several men at work refining the
shaft down to the water. Six men
are at work. This company intend to
take out the water, sink 100 feet and
crosscut to the ledge. In fact, do
considerable development work This
property was known as the Lincoln
mine.
The West Coast Mining Co., who
started in sometime ago to do some
work on their property here, have fal-
len down and let the place fill with
water again. This is the second time
it has been allowed TO fill. Looks as
if it were all off with this mine.

CROPS GOOD IN UPPER
GEM COUNTY
Squaw Creek and Brownlee a
Continuous Field of Grain
and Hay.

The Squaw creek valley from the
Payette river TO Cross and the entire
Brownlee country is one vast field
of grain and hay. Harvest is near
ly finished and threshing machines
will soon be busy everywhere. The
wheat crop is very good, the oats
crop is also abundant Barley and
rye are not up to the average
1t is remarkable what a transfer
nation has been made in that section
during the last four years There is
very little unoccupied land Of a till
able nature to be found now. Hills
and valleys clear up TO the timber
line are one vast sea of golden grain,
splotched here and there with green
fields Of alfalfa and corn. 1t is a
veritable granary and is the beauty
spot Of Gem county.
On wonders how the farmers man
age to cut the grain on the steep hill
sides, but it is being done every day
now. Then one wonders what is
done with the grain. But there are
great numbers Of cattle and horses
10 feed, and the NAV Of the Sweet
Touring mill is always hungry.
The people living there have no
lonesome times now. Farms touch
farms in never-ending succession and
neighbors are a-plenty. SchooIhouses
are located conveniently and every
week during the winter months there
are entertainments and old fashion
ed dances 70 amuse the people and
give zest TO life.
The writer saw here and there an
occasional dandelion. with its white
fuzzy top knot. Seeds probably were
waited there from the lower valleys
or taken there in seed grain.
Usually, Upper Squaw creek and
Brownlee are nesting grounds for
the Willow and Blue grouse, but they
are mighty scarce. Bill TalIey says
a tick that gets under the wings and
on the neck Of grouse, sucking out
their life blood, has decimated the
ranks Of these game birds in the
Brownlee country. On Timber Flat,
above Ola, ranchers say crows and
magpies hunt the nests of birds in
the spring and eat the eggs, which
is the reason for the scarcity Of
grouse there. Most hunters returned
Tuesday with lean game bags.

I For the past several years the Ida
I no statute known as the FallOn Fire
Law, has been practically imperative
[ in the southern part OF the state This
year, however, the state is coOperat-
Z ing with the national forest officers
for the protection Of the large bodies
Of timber land owned by the state
in and adjacent TO the national forest
boundaries. Under the FallOn Fire
Law the state land commissioner has
appointed the forest officers as state
fire wordens. Practically all of the
timber lands are included in the Fal-
lon Fire Law districts, the district
boundaries extending from one-haf
10 five miles outside the boundaries Of
the forests. Within these districts
the Fallon Fire Law is now operative
and will be strictly enforced. Under
the law, from June l TO October 1 IN
each year is known as the closed sea-
son. during which time it is unlawful
TO set out fires for burning brush,
other refuse. or clearing land within
the boundaries of these districts,
either on private or public lands, with
out first obtaining permit from the
fire warden of the district, The law
also provides a number of other reg
ulations designed to reduce the FIRE
danger. The penalties for violations
of any Of the provisions OF the law
vary from fines up to $500 or irpri-
sonment in the county jail for not
more than six months. Anyone liv-
ing IN or near the forests should con-
suit the nearest forest officer, or Of
ficial Of the state land department,
before setting out fire during the
closed period.

Remndeling Landmark

The old laundry building on Com
mercial avenue, opposite the Emmett
garage, is being remodeled by Adam
Steinbower and it is rumored will be
occupied by Jap laundry This is
one of the old time store buildings in
this part of town. 1t was first locat-
ed on Main street on the site of the
Emmett Feed Mills, and was used as
a hardware store by John Bane and
James Kesgard, which firm was later
merged into the Emmett Mercantile
Co., with Francis Moore and Geo. W..
Gordon added as membe,5. For a
number OF years the upper floor was
used as a dance hall. When John
Bane built his brick building the
frame building was moved to its pre-
sent location.

Potato Prices Up.

What is said to be the record price
Tuesday IN the Deer Flat section
when Buyer Upson OF Butte, Mont,
contracted with growers for four car
loads at the price Of s1-25 hundred.
A year ago the price for early crop
hung around so cents a hundred.
Later in the fall and winter it drop
ped to so and even to so cents. II
they sell at a price of s1.20 and S1-25
a hundred, most Of the potato growers
about Huston will receive gross re-
turn of $500 an acre. To realize this
return, production of 135 sacks an
acre is necessary, and this is said TO
be a conservative average for the en-
tire area in potatoes. Many grow
ers will obtain yields of IT'S sacks
per acre, while a few will harvest
more than 200 sacks from each acre

Surprised.

Two barefoot boys with legs Of tan
were playing in the mortar piled up
in boxes in front Of the new theater
building after supper the other night.
The mud" was soft and cool TO their
feet, and life was full OF JOY. Ad-
joining the mortar was z vat for
stacking lime, and It had been filled
and covered with q light covering Of
sand just before the men quit for the
day. It looked as if It were all sand,
and attracted the attention Of the
two boys. Sand was cleaner than
mud" and into It the boys decided
they would go. But looks are some
times deceptive, and this was one Of
those times. Into the vat the boys
jumped, there was a splash and two
barefoot boys with legs Of tan were
no longer Of a tan color. Legs and
knickerbockers ard hands and arms
were coated with lime as white as
new fallen snow when they crawled
out Of the vat They were in pretty
pickle. II they went home in that
condition they figured they would be
punished The suggestion that they
go swimming in the canal was vetoed,
because that meant trouble al home
also. Finally, they concluded 10 use

and of they went shamefaced and
stiff legged. for the lime had begun 10
