PASSING OF THE PAGE.
Famous Hostelry of Wardner Has
Closed Its Doors.

The Page hotel, one of the land
marks of the Occur d'Alenes and
WardEer's most noted stopping place,
has closed it's doors and this week the
furniture and fixtures of the once
popular house were removed and ship
ped to Spokane, says the Wardner-
Kellogg News. For a quarter of a
century the Page hotel accommodated
guests from all parts of the world. In
the early days from 200 to 400 miners
made it their home continuously,
while such noted visitors as John ID.
Rockefeller Jr., and his New York as
sociates, governors, senators and lead
ing mine operators of the nation en-
joyed the hospitality of the house. Al
Page, who established and conducted
the business for 20 years, sold the
place several years ago and the prop
erty is now owned by Spokane parties.

ALAN EDA.
Drifting on Vein Shows Considerable
Lead and Zinc.

Lead and Zinc.
Several months ago the Alameda
crosscut passed through a vein show
ing more or less lead and zinc, but
which was not recognized at that time
as the Success Alameda vein which
was being sought. This was at point
about 1900 feet from the portal, and
assuming that the vein had a dip not
far removed from the vertical, the
crosscut was continued with the ex-
pectation of cutting it. A subsequent
survey. however, determined that the
true dip of the Success Alameda vein
would carry it just about where this
first vein was cut and proved that this
was the vein sought. A drift was
thereupon started on this vein which
has now been extended easterly
about 100 feet. The face shows con-
tinuous stringers Of ore both lead and
zinc. The showing is regarded very
encouraging, and in view of the Pc
culiarities of the ore shoots as disclos-
ed in the Success workings 1t is reas-
enable to expect an ore body of i'm
portance at any time. This crosscut
is practically on the same level as the
main working tunnel of the Success.

Better Ore on the 1000.
Drifting east on the 1000-foot level
has been rewarded by the discovery
of an ore shoot which, according to re-
liable reports, involves no complica-
tons in the way of treatment. BY far
the best ore that has been found in
the mine has been encountered on this
level. Lead predominates on this
level, much of 1t of high grade. The
showing has evidently convinced Sem
ator Clark that he has a great mine
in the Sunset, and it is expected that
before spring is far advanced a deep
tunnel will be under way to make
permanent outlet on Beaver creek,
The Miner has information that seems
perfectly reliable that plans for this
tunnel are now being worked out, but
no authorized announcement has yet
been made. II has long been evident
to any one familiar with the location
of the mine that a tunnel from Beaver
creek presented the natural outlet, and
since the completion of the Beaver
creek railroad it has been regarded as
merely a matter of waiting until the
extensive exploratory work had con-
WINGED Senator Clark that the mine
justified plans to place it on pro-
ductive basis. That time seems to
have arrived. A working tunnel for
the Sunset would have it's portal
probably within a mile of the Beaver
creek railroad, If undertaken it would
be pushed to completion with the
same quiet and effective energy that
characterizes all the Clark enterprises

Scottsbluf Farmers
After a Government
Potato Contract

Scottsbluff, Neb., Oct. 23.-(Spe-
cial. )-Scottsbluff potato growers
have organized to do their own mar
keting. A branch of the county farm
bureau has been formed, known as
the Scottsbluff County Potato
Growers association. Several car
loads of potatoes have been sold and
the association is bidding on gov
eminent contract. Growers are
charged a selling commission of 5
cents per 100 pounds.
Potato-prices are very unsettled
and more spuds are being stored
this year than usual. The associa-
ton has taken over the Farmers
Union storage cellar at Morrill, and
thousands of bushels will be stored
there. One dollar to $1.10 per 100
pounds is the prevailing price Of
fered for potatoes on the car here
now. They must be sacked, and
the sacks cost e cents each, which
cuts the price to the grower to II
to 81 cents hundred.
The potato crop is exceptionally
good in this county. The spuds are
large, smooth and comparatively
free from scab. The potatoes are
graded and inspected by government
men before they are shipped.

Find Crude Oil Near
/ RivertOn, Nebraska

Riverton. Neb., Oct, 25-fSpecial,)
While digging a large cesspool
here recently, workmen discovered
, oil in what promises to be paying
kcuantities among the banks of
Thompson creek, at depth of about
20 feet. Since the first discovery a
number OF wells have been drilled
in the vicinity and something like
400 gallons Of oil pumped from
them. At One or two places it was
found to be mixed with thick sub
stance which experts say Is parrafin.
with promise of natural gas. The
oil taken out so far tests about 4S
per cent pure, and will run an en-
CINE in its crude state.
A company has been formed, a
drilling outfit is already on the
ground and plans are being made to
drill for the main reservoir. Experts
say that the oil already found is
seepage from the main body and
that it is only question of drilling
deep enough to strike this body.

"Speculators Trying
To Starve the Stock"
Says a County Agent

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 23.-(Special.)
-Prohteering in hay by spectators
is threatening to prevent the feed
ing out of thousands of head of Ne
braska cattle, according to informa-
ton reaching the extension service
of the University of Nebraska col
lege of agriculture. The high price
will also compel the sale of many
stock cattle in the drouth stricken
section of the state. Eastern Ne
braska county agricultural agents at
tempting to buy hay in the western
part of the state have found the sup
ply cornered by Spectators. These
prohteers are asking SIS a ton tor
alfalfa. Farmers of eastern Nebras-
ka say they cannot pay such a price
and they plan to sell their cattle
without fattening.
Farmers of Seward county sent
their agricultural agent, H. P. Rig
don, on hay buying tour. He trav-
eled 1000 miles by automobile and
visited seven counties. -Four other
counties in the drouth stricken belt
of the state sent men west. All had
the same experience. Where specu-
lators have not actually bought up
the hay they have excited the farm
ers into holding for an exhorbitant
price.
The cheapest alfalfa found was at
Stratton-$22 a ton At HaiRler and
Sanborn $3.50 ton was asked. In
Dawson county. thousands of tons
are in the hands Of sneculators and
arc being held for SIS a ton. The
agents succeeded in buying a little
wild hay for SCI a ton.
Spectators are trying to starve
the stock in our county" wrote one
county agricultural agent. "If hay
cannot be purchased so it can be fed
without too great loss the farmers
are going to ship their stock out"
