and never before have the fair young
ladies who grace the front rows been
so scarce. The reason for this. say
the managers, is the fact that many

saken the footlights for the canning

full gowns for n few hours a day and

PLACER MINING.

J. A. Kennedy who has been prepar-
ing all spring to carry on placer min
ing on the Similkameen river above
the falls, has recently located q bar
from which he has taken the best gold
that has been washed from the river
banks for long time. So far he has
not washed out much of the precious
metal, because he is not prepared to
carry on operations on a large scale.
but he has taken out enough to con-
vince him that he can make his ven-
ture pay, and pay well. The samples
he exhibited at this office would be
classed as coarse gold. He Is taking
this gold from bed rock sinking about
eight feet from the surface. As the
gold is rough it is evident that 1t trav-
eled but a short distance before being
deposited where found. Many efforts
have been made to take out placer
gold in paying quantities along the
Similkameen since the great rush In
the early SOS, when it is alleged 5000
miners collected at Rich Bend and ex-
tracted upwards of half million dol
lars, but those making the effort have
not met with encouraging success.
From the result of panning 1t now
looks as though Mr.. Kennedy had
struck the rich streak and will sec e
his reward when properly rigged up
to wash the gravel on an extensive
scale, and that is what he is now pre- /.
pairing to do.

BEAT OUT RHEUMATICS.

Harry Barman, of the LaValle Auc-
ton House, left for Spokane Monday
on business trip and during his alb
sence his store is in charge of j. A..
Kennedy and Pat Kearney. 1t is odd to
see Pat behind counter, and it brings
back memories of olden days. When
we first knew Pat Kearney he was
clerking in a dry goods store at Spo-
kane Falls, neater, more natty or
better dresser was not to be found in
the territory. He was keen bright
young man, thoroughly familiar
with the business in which he was
Engaged In conjunction with his
brother William, he obtained an in
terest in the Old Dominion mine, near
|Colville, and when that property was
first worked it was a mint for the
Owners. Having been bitten by the bug
Kearney turned his attention to min
ing and followed the game for years.
He finally located in this county liv-
ing at Riverside and near Tonasket
for a number of years. Some three
years ago he became afflicted with
and spent large sum of
money in an effort to obtain relief. AT
last he commenced s using simple
remedy while living in a steam heated
room in the Hotel de Grubb, and he
says the he has succeeded in getting
the best of old rheumatics and is feel
ling better than he has for years.

NEW ORCHARD PROJECT.

ID. M. Schamberger and Paul Mohler
have organized and incorporated I'M
der the laws of the state the Okanogan
Orchard Homes company, with the
object of colonizing a tract of several
hundred acres in the neighborhood of
Cordell, a station on the Oroville-
Wenatchee branch a few miles south
West OkanOgan Valley Irrigation sys-
TEN. The aim is to cut up this land
into ten acre tracts and sell it on easy
terms. 1t will be a Dunkard colony
and those who are familiar with what
the Dunkards have accomplished in
the way of land improvement at We
natchee and on a still smaller scale
around Spectacle lake can readily un-
derstand what transformation such
a colony would work at any point in
the valley under the project. Both Mr..
|Schamberger and Mr. Mohler are wide
awake progressive citizens. They own
considerable land in the valley, and
|are making extensive improvements
thereon. They are reliable and depend
able people in whom members of their
faith have implicit confidence, and
there is hardly doubt but that the
gentlemen will succeed in the under
taking upon which they have embark
ed. In a few years, it is safe to predict
the land around Cordell will be in
tensely cultivated and the Okanogan
Orchard Homes will be one of the
show places in the valley.

BENEFICIAL ORGANIZATION.

Already the members of the Farm
|ers' Cooperative Association are feel
ling the benefit of organization for the
purpose of Systematically marketing
their fruits and vegetables. The Off
GERS have the association functioning
and quantities of produce are being
shipped into Montana and other points
near home The conditions as to run
ming of trains are very favorable for
speedily reaching the Montana mar
kets. Shipments made from Oroville
one morning reach the buyer in Mon
tana the next morning. which insureS
produce reaching its destination IN
prime condition. A considerable guam
tity of peaches are being shipped just
now and growers are receiving $l.25
not been known in this place before.
Every grower in the valley should be
connected up with the association for
his own advantage 1t is difficult for
individual growers to find sure mar
kets. They have not the time to hunt
up markets and at the same time care
for their land. By cooperation offic-
ials take up the selling end and as
they are prepared to deliver in any
quantity they have little difficulty in
finding markets. All the growers of
the valley would find it to their ad
vantage to sign up for membership
in the association.

BACK FROM THE EAST.

Friday last Mr.. and Mrs. E. N.
Grubb returned home from their ex-
tended trip to the far east, spending
over two months visiting with rela-
tives in Virginia and other southern
states. They were accompanied by Mrs.
e. Naase, of Spokane an old friend Of
the family who will visit here for
some time, and Miss Matte Grubb, of
Virginia, a niece of Mr.. Grubb. The
young lady will spend the winter in
Washington in attendance at the State
Normal school at Cheney. Mr.. and Mrs.
E. n Grubb left here in anything but
robust health. In fact on account of
close application to the management
of the hotel, both were very much run
down, and when they arrived in the
|east both had to undergo operations.
They return enjoying better health
than at any time for years. They do
not have to tell their friends that they
|are feeling we'll, the fact is obvious
from their general physical appear
|ance. We do not know what Mr.. Grubb
has in contemplation for the future but
we trust it is something that requires
his presence in OrOville as per-
manent resident. He has some valuable
land in the valley under the irrigation
system that he is highly improving,
but we hardly think he will take up
farm work as a steady occupation.

WRECKING A STAMP MILL.

Tuesday morning three large auto
trucks loaded with the salvage of tho
lStemwinder stamp mill, at Fairview,
larrived in town in charge of J. e. Bas-
sett, S. B. Elliott and e. j. Lessard,
who have a contract to deliver the
iron in the dismanteled mill to the
railroad at Oroville, where 1T is ship
ped to the person who purchased the
plant. So passes away another monu-
ment to the mistakes of mining pro-
moters in this locality, who have in
sisted upon building a mill before they
knew whether they had ore enough to
keep a mill running, or who have put
| up the wrong kind of treatment plant
| to properly treat the ores of the mine
where the plant has been installed.
| The Stemwinder mill was erected in
the days when Fairview was one of
the warmest little propositions in the
way of mining camp in the north
west. To see the sleepy, dilapidated
| remnents OF the ord camp today one
could hardly be led to believe that
score or more years ago Fairview
gave employment to a large force of
men and hopes ran high for making
that one of the most profitable mining
districts in British Columbia. A vast
amount of money was spent in devel-
opment, most Of the cash coming from
English investors. Whether the ore
was too low grade, or because devel
lopment was not carried far enough
n 1ich a nd
/ of the ores, is not known, but all at
once the bottom fell out of Fairview,
mining operations ceased and the
town died of the dry rot. One of the
most ambitious of the several promo
+! tions was the Stemwinder mine. Much
Underground work was done, and a
70-stamp mill was installed. Install
! ing a stamp mill in those days at a
lplace so remote from transportation
was a cruelty expensive undertaking,
but the mill was built and equipped
with all modern machinery, that is,
modern for that day and age. The mill
ran only a short time when the bubble
burst, and from that day to this never
a wheel has turned and the plant
has fallen into decay. We are inform
ed that Spokane junk dealer purch-
lased the entire equipment at the
rate of 95 cents a hundred pounds as
scrap iron, and the boys who are do
ing the hauling are to truck the old
wreck to Oroville. 1t is stated that
there are 500 tons or more Of machin-
cry that goes into the scrap heap. 1t
was a sad experience for those who
put their money on the Stemwinder as
la winner, but the same mistake has
been made in every mining district in

BACK FROM FRANCE.

Mark Thomas came in last Friday
evening all dOlled up in the uniform
of the A. E. F., having just arrived
from service over seas. He struck Oro-
vile just at a favorable time, as the
hospital benefit dance was on and this
being the first chance to mingle with
the people that he has known for 80
many years he was induced to turn
himself loose upon the floor. Every
body in the county knows Mark Thom-
las, or at least all those who date
back their arrival in the county few
years, as he served as deputy sheriff
for a couple of terms, and made rat
