/ opened up, on the north side of Ellie
meham mountain, only about a mile
from Nighthawk, and about twelve
miles west of Oroville. The claim is
owned by F. l.. Perrizo and Paul Mel
son. There miners may have known
what they had, but they never real
lied the importance of the holding
until last week. The professor at the
head of the mining department of
Pullman College spent some days in
Oroville during the past fortnight, and
during his stay he made excursions
into the surrounding country inspect
ing various mines and mineral show
ings. Among the properties visited
was the one owned by Messrs. Perrizo
and Nelson. The professor was per-
fectly astonished at the showing of
ore, and declared it to be the best
mollybedenum that he had ever seen.
He stated that there was one other
deposit in the state, so far as dis
covered, in western Washington, but
1t was not to compare with this one
on Ellemeham mountain. This week
Mr.. Perrizo sent 100 pounds of the ore
to Spokane to be tested. He was in
formed that plant was to be in
stalled at Spokane to treat molly
bedenum ores. If the ore from his
mine under analysis proved to be suf-
ficiently valuable to stand the cost
of shipment it might be treated at
Spokane, otherwise it would be more
advisable to treat it at or near the
mine
Molybedenum is a rare metal, and
one of it's uses is the hardening of
steel. Just at this time there is a
very heavy demand for molybedenum
and the government uses any guam
tity of it. A mine carrying that ore
in quantities is about as valuable as
gold mine.
Molybedenum is quoted in the mar
ket at something in the neighborhood
of $400 per ton. Messrs. Perrizo and
Nelson have ledge two and half
feet wide, and samples from the. ledge
contain a very large percentage of
mineral. 1t looks as though the gen
tlemen had a prize winner in this
claim

ON THE FIELD OF HONOR

The war Is coming right home tc
us, and as We feel the pangs we should
dedicate our lives, our fortunes and
our sacred honors to, supporting the
cause that is bent upon crushing the
man who is responsible for all the
sorrow and misery In the land. We
have been called upon to give of our
means. we have been called upon to
part with our boys and now we are
called upon to mourn for those boys,
all because one man who thinks he Is
greater than the living God wishes
to rule the world. The nation has
paid heavily in treasure and blood.
Our state is contributing the lives of
its manhood and now this county
has been called upon to make the
supreme sacrifice. The first Okanogan

AN OLD FAVORITE

Frank Funkhauser, who has been
Congressman Dill's private secretary
for the past four years, was a visitor
in town Thursday last, and he was
extended most cordial welcome by
his old friends in Oroville. of whom
there are many. Mr.. Funkhauser was
principal of the Conconully school for
a number of years, and married Miss
Jessie Dillabough, of that place, one
of the most accomplished and popu-
lar young ladies in the county. Mr..
Funkhauser probably had more
friends in Okanogan county than any
other one man who has ever held a
professorship in any of the schools.
This popularity was owing not only
to his genial personality, but to the
fact that he was one of the fairest
and squarest sports that ever led a
high school squad. Mr.. Funkhauser
took a great interest in school ath-
'letics, and through his coaching Con-

MILL IN OPERATION

Henry Bender has met with many
disappointments and drawbacks since
he commenced several months ago re-
lhabilitating the old Nighthawk stamp
mill and changing it into a flotation
plant. The delays were through no
fault of Mr.. Bender, and his expert
ence has been only repetition OF
the experience of others who have
in the past attempted to accomplish
anything in the mining way in this
locality. At last, however, Mr.. Ben
der has succeeded in surmounting all
obstacles and the plant is now sup
piled with the proper machinery,
superintendent with the proper know
ledge, and this week the wheels COM
menced turning in earnest. Ore from
the Caaba mine will be treated and
there seems to be plenty in sight to
keep the mill running steadily. Ore
from the Rich Bar will also be treat
ed. Even should the supply from
the two mines fall short there is no
end of material to work on. MIR.
Bender reports that he has been So
which he is not at present in a posi-
ton to handle.
If the fiotation process proves to
be a solution for the extraction of
values from the ores of this neigh.
borhood, as no doubt it is, as Mr.
Bender did not embark in the enter
prise until after exhaustive tests, the
mill is going to be blessing to the
country as we'll as fortunate in
vestment for the promoters. Should
the mill prove to be inadequate in
capacity to meet the demand made up
OH it no doubt it will be enlarged.
and in the end the success of one
mill will be an incentive for the con-
struction of others. For the ore is
around here in the hills awaiting ex-
traction, and when it is known that
effort in the mining way can be as
sured adequate reward other old
properties will renew development
and new properties will be opened
up. Nothing builds up country
more rapidly than successful mining.
and few producing mines in this
neighborhood would crowd
Oroville into the city class more ex-
peditiously than any one ever ex-
pected.

yet the country is not really half pros

of the mineral deposits, or the nature
of the rare minerals tnat exist in the
