AN ECHO OF THE PAST.

The last issue of the Colville EX-
the Old Dominion mine, more partic-
ularly devoted to rehearsing the rec
ords Of a long period of litigation over
the property, than history of the
mine itself. For years the case has
been in court in contention over the
ownership, and during that time the
old mine has been idle. According to
the Examiner, the conflicting inter-
ests have at last been adjusted and 1t
is expected that active work will soon
the Examiner is in error in one state
ment made, and that was that the
mine was located in 1895.
The history of the Old Dominion is
one of more than ordinary interest in
the mining annals of northwest Wash
ngton, and has in measure local
application, as one Of the first owners
of the porperty, Pat Kearney, Is now
resident of this place. The name of
the old mine is worthy of perpetual
was the first mine in this state, quartz
mine, that paid heavy return to the
operators.
In the early spring Of 1888 pros
pector named AL. Benoist, who had
been securing the hills along the
boundary line in what is now Pend
dOrille county, came to Spokane Falls
and took employment at the old Spra-
que hotel. While there he met Pat and
William Kearney, then clerking in
stores in the embyro city. Benoist and
the Kearney boys joined together in
the prospecting game and Will Kear-
ney and Benoist left during the sum-
mer for Stevens county, while Pat
held a position in the Great Eastern
dry goods store in order to secure

in his pockets.
How the original locators finally
gave up the mine we know not. Pat
kearney purchased AL. Beloists in
terest for $4,000 and afterwards sold
half interest to Mr.. Brickell, a man
of large means, for 100000 Anyhow,
the kearneys eventually let go of the
property, but during the time they
operated the mine they extracted and
marketed ore to the value of $415,O00,
and from that time to this we do not
know of any mine in eastern Wash
ington that has produced an equal
amount to the operators. OF the orig
inal owners, Brickell, and Benoist and
VIM. kearney are dead and Pat is
getting along in years and for a long
time has been in poor health. The Old
Dominion cut quite a swath in its
early history in the way of arousing
interest in mining in this state, and
under systematic operation may come
back and make fortune, or S. ye.al
fortunes, for those who now have
control and announce their intention

funds to keep the prospectors in the
field. The first claims located were at
what was afterwards known as EN-
brey, in the same general locality as
the Old Dominion, which was sub
sequently discovered. The trio had the
ground surveyed and laid out the
town of Embrey on the ground cover
ed by some of the mining claims. We
can remember that at that time the
Weekly Spokane Review, and after
wards the daily, had much to say re-
garding Embrey and the promise of a
flourishing mining camp at that place.
The strike and the organization Of the
town attracted considerable attention
and even our DR.. Webb went up there
to start drug store.
But the glory of Embry was short
lived and passed away when over
Swallowed by the excitement that fol-
lowed the discovery and the rapid ex-
traction of ore from the Old Domin-
ion. That mine was discovered and To-
Gated by Mr.. Benoist and VIM. Kear-
ney on Sunday, the 18th of April, 1884.
That mine yielded rich returns from
the grass roots. Nothing like it in the
way of a paying mine has ever been
discovered in the northwest. The ore
carrying very large values in silver
and lead was deposited in the nature
of kidneys and pockets Of various
sizes, and the owners kept busy
gophering around digging out this at
tractive deposit. The ore was shipped
down from the mine, distance Of
some 60 miles, by wagon and from
there to eastern smelters, and yet,
Notwithstanding the heavy cost OF
handling every car load yielded thous-
ands of dollars in the clear. The Kear-
ney boys were the envied opulent
money kings of those days, and we
can almost to this day hear the ring
of the twenties that Pat used to jingle

THE REGISTERED BABY

Local physicians are complaing
about the hardness with which their
patients meet the requirements of the

about all is the fact that most peo-
pie know nothing of the laws require
ments rather than give aid to their
physician, they want to know by
what right the physician makes in
Quiry into the affairs of the family.

of pure bred stock.
The babies heretofore has not been
registered in Georgia, except in some
Of the larger cities. This year they
are being registered, and it is the fam
lily physicians duty to report each
birth, good, bad or Indifferent to a
proper official. The physician cannot
stop simply with the announcement
He must make full report In other

words, he must get the baby's predi'
gree. That requires more than its
name, or its fathers name. The
mothers maiden name, her birthplace
and some other vital information is
included. VIM
When the family physician starts
after this information, it is sometimes
a painful duty, for those who do not
understand it, are inclined to
believe the physician is meddling
where he has no business. That is not
the case. Under the law he is requir.
ed to bring in the states and file
them. He violates it in he fails, and
is subject to fine and imprisonment
where he fails.
This is true with regard to deaths,
The vital statistics require the fam
lily physician and the undertaken both
to make full reports of all persons
overtaken by death. 1t would seem
that the dead would be the only
person with whom the law would be
concerned, but this is not the case.

parents, place Of birth, age

IF you are inclined to believe this,
you should acquaint yourself with the
new law and become posted. The ply

such recreation as gathering statices
about the black sheep in the family
or compiling the criminal history Of
those who bear the name. He is get
ting only what he is required to get.

come out with it and complete the
information, the better it will be for
everybody concerned.
