the good spirits manifested that he
had discovered something he felt had
the promise Of supplying him with the
means to spend the balance of the
years coming to him in idleness and
comfort. He put a force Of men at
work, and although past the allotted
age OF four score years and ten, Mr.
Pitman has held up his end of the la
Dor while developing his claims. Mr..
Pitman was in Oroville Friday last,
and from the smiles that were illumi-
mating his counteance he was feeling
pretty good with himself. He had had
slight spell of sickness, and that was
really the reason for his appearance in
Oroville, coming here to consult a
physician. He was told that he was all
right and that contributed toward the
cheerful spirits that he was exhibiting.
Mr.. Pitman Is not in the habit of find
ing little things when he goes out in
search of mineral deposits, and the
property that he is now opening up
is no piker's proposition. He states,
with a straight face, and honest con-
viction that he has already cut into a
ledge l16 feet wide with the hanging
wall still some where ahead. Accord
ing to assays obtained this ledge will
average between $500 and $500. with
richer chutes here and there through
the vast mineralized zone The Ga
zette trusts that the old timer has hit
it lucky and that he may live many
years to enjoy the fruits of his labor.

IN THE MINING WAY.

The following item in reference to
well-known prospector and miner
who made his headquarters in Orc
Vile for some time, is taken from the
Greenwood (B. CO. Ledge:
Paul Nelson, the we'll known min
ing man of Oroville, who has been in
charge at the Submarine mine six
miles from Nighthawk. Wash. was in
Greenwood for a number of days. Mr.
Nelson and Al. Hagelberg some years
ago sold a group of eight claims to a
Minnesota company and the Submar-
Inc is one of the group. A large
amount of machinery Is now being in
stalled and this property will soon be
on the shipping list
During Mr.. Nelson's STAY in town
he examined number of properties
in this vicinity in which he is inter-
ested. He has great faith in the Green
wood district and it is his intention to
bring in Spokane capital and work
some of these properties. Some weeks
ago Mr.. Nelson leased the Riverside
mine, near Rock Creek and this is one
of the properties that will be devel-
oped. Ola Lofstad of this city is Mr..
Nelson's partner

LARGE TRANSFER.

Recently Jas. e. Forde sold his home
stead located on the west side of the
Okanogan river, short distance south
of the Similkameen bridge, to VIM.
Balmes, who last year lived upon
rented apple orchard at Kettle Falls.
The family is made up of Mr.. and Mrs.
Balmes, two bright and husky sons
and several capable and interesting
daughters. The family is most val
liable addition to the population of the
valley, not only as social asset, but
they are progressive and Industrious,
and will speedily make of what has
been rather a neglected piece of land
one Of the most valuable holdings un-
der the irrigation system. We do not
intend to convey the impression that
this large ranch has been wholly neg
lected, but It has not received the at
tention in past years that such IA
vorably situated piece of property
should have received since water was
introduced on the valley lands, for
from the location and general lay Of
the property 1t should be one of the
show place to boast of around Oro-
Vile. The owner has had to depend
upon others in the past, and while
more recently the place has been in
capable hands, for years it was per-
mitted largely to take care of itself.
1t is understood that the new owners
are to put up modern and commo-
dious home and of course, will place
the land under intensive cultivation
as they invested for the purpose of
making the ranch all that intelligent
management and earnest application
can accomplish in the way of improv-
ing a home place.
The ranch consists of some 100
acres. 1t was originally located by a

MACHINERY IN PLACE

The Southern Minnesota and Wash
ington mining people did swift work
Installing the machinery but recently
delivered on the ground from the an
timony mine near Whitestone noun
tain. 1t was quite an undertaking To
pull the heavy pieces of iron consti-
tuting some of the machinery up the
hill to the mine where it was to be put
to use, but the trick was turned with
out accident. Foundations had been
prepared in advance for the machinery
and it did not take many days after
delivery to have the same set up and
in running order. Monday, the wheels
were set in motion for the first time,
and that event marked the beginning
of operations by power that will con-
tinue until this mine is shipping ore.
The Southern Minnesota and Wash
ington Mining company is in possess
sion of what is better known as the
Lone Pine group of claims, a few miles
northeast of Nighthawk. On the Sub
marine. one of the claims of the group.
the principal work has been done in
the nature of working tunnel that Is
In the mountain several hundred feet
and what Is more attractive to those
Interested in the property the tunnel
Is in one Of the largest bodies of choice
ore that has been struck in this To-
cality. From the appearance of the
huge ledge. some IA feet In width, the
quality of ore that can be taken out
appears to be almost inexhaustible
and this is carrying strong values.
From what has developed under explo-
ration the mine gives evidence of hav-
ing become one of the most important
mining propositions in the northwest.
Success Is not dependent on future
discoveries. The discoveries have al
ready been made, and all that is now
required is to remove the ore and get
1t to a smelter in order to insure re-
turns. And that is what the machinery
was installed for, more speedy en-
traction of the ore and consequently
a more speedy return on the invest
ment.
The property is very fortunately To-
cated as to transportation facilities. At
present 1t Is but short all down hill
pull from the mine to the railroad at
Nighhawk.. The railroad is directly
across the river and in an air line only
few hundred yards from the mine.
1t will be no trick at all. at compare
lively small cost. to put in a gravity
tram to convey ore directly from the
mouth Of the tunnel to the railroad,
and that system of handling ore will
no doubt be installed at some future
time, and not SO very far in the flu
ture either
1t Is the intention of the company
to build a road from the mine to con-
meet with the Oroville-Nighthawk
wagon road. which is now open to
travel. This road can be easily built
and will be of moderate grade.

PAINFULLY HURT

Friday afternoon Mrs. Fritz Grath-
void met with very painful accident.
She had gone to the Catholic church
to prepare for the Easter service and
one OF the stunts the lady attempted
was splitting kindling. Unluckily she
missed the stick of wood she was
holding In her left hand and the
Ratchet, or ak, cut off diagonal Sec
ton OF the outside of the left thumb,
completely severing' flesh, nail and
bone. There was no one present, nor
within call and Mrs. Grathwold walked
back to town. the wound bleeding very
profusely, and naturally causing a
great deal of pain. Both Drs. Elmer
and Lewis were summoned after con-
siderable delay, as they were in at
tendence at the funeral of the child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Teas, and the wound
dressed. 1t was feared that it would
be necessary to amputate the thumb at
the second joint, but that mutilation
may not be resorted to If it is possible
to save the remainder of the thumb.

man named Monroe and Mr.. Forde
purchased the REIMBURSEMENT many
years ago for few hundred dollars.
We are Informed that the place was
sold to the present owner for $S5 per
acre, and that is the cheapest land,
situated SO close to town and under
the ditch flor every acre Is under the
West Okanogan Valley Irrigation
SYSTEM, that has been on the market
recently. The price paid is far in ex-
cess OF the original cost, and one
would naturally suppose that the for
mer owner had made handsome prof
1t out of the holding, but the property
has been heavy expense to Mr.. Forde
entailing steady outlay without re-
turn and if this cost was added to the
first price paid for the land the total
would show that Mr.. Forde had paid
very pretty price for the property.

CARD OF THANKS.

Reevie Frank, as manager of the
Oroville Motor company, desire this
paper to extend thanks of himself and
his associates to all those citizens who
SO kindly and willingly assisted in re-
moving the property of the company
from all danger during the fire that
destroyed the New Oroville hotel. He
also requests all those whom he en-
ployed to work during the fire to file
their bills at once with himself or John
jacob in order that all expenses con-
nected with the removal can be imme-
diately adjusted.
In this connection we may add that

office and stock of the Oroville Motor
company will be at the garage at the
southeast corner of Vancouver street
and First avenue, diagonally across
the street from the Liberty theater,
where orders for accessories and auto
supplies can be secured.

Hold your breath. Men in business
here tell us that drummers declare
that almost every article in the dry
goods line is to advance in price again
next fall. Whether that is a club held
over the heads of retailers to induce
them to order now for fall delivery,
or a true statement of the case it is
hard to tell, but it would seem if ar
ticles that enter into general consump-
ton are to go up any higher there will
be great many of us that will go
without next winter.

WORKING AN OLD PROPERTY,

The Colville Examiner has the fol &.
lowing kindly words to say for j. W.
Douglas. who is working the old Caa-
ba mine. and working it in such a
manner that the development of pro-
ducing mine is a question of only
short time
d. Wyeth Douglas, who owns the
Douglas building on Main street and
is we'll known to Colville business
men as pioneer booster, has devel-
oped real mine in the ancient Caaba
property on the Similkameen river
near Oroville. 1t may be interesting as
a historical fact, to know that the
Caaba mine was originally located by
the late II. F. (Okanogan) Smith on
April 10, 1877, and he worked it meas
urably during the balance of his life.
1t has been an attraction to mining
men during all these years of its deca-
dence until the Great Northern rail-
way made transportation a factor Mr..
Douglas and his associate, S. Barg-
hoorn. who has established banking
interests in Spokane, Yakima and Col
Vile, secured the Caaba two years ago
and have pursued a well directed sys-
tenn of development to the end that It
has taken rank as one of the richest
gold and copper mines of the state.
More than 100000 has been expended
it is said, in opening the large ore re-
serves and building mill to treat the
ores. Mr. Douglas good fortune means
something to Colville as a satisfaction
to his many friends here, and Colville
may derive more than a small benefit
because both Mr.. Barghoorn and Mr..
Douglas have property interests here
which may improve as their fortunes
grow; and both have exemplified their
faith in this city by substantial invest
ments here"

SOME MINERAL DEPOSIT.

J. NJ. Pitman who dates his advent
into northern Okanogan county so far
back that the period of his coming is
obscured by the lapse Of time, and
who, during his residence In the coun-
ty, held several important county Off
ces, Is now, and has been for some
months, engaged in mining in the
neighborhood Of Clawson, B. c., sta
ton on the Princeton branch, only a
few miles on the other side Of the
boundary. After selling his ranch on
Palmer lake Mr.. Pitman went to
Oregon. In early days ne had given
considerable attention to prospecting
and while dreaming the happy hours
away down in our neighboring state
one day there came back to him the
thrill Of the hills, the lure Of gold
hunting, the desire to go spying
around his former stamping grounds
in search Of the hidden treasure. When
it comes to talking mining our friend
Pitman has pretty smooth line of
patter, and it was not long before he
secured the attention of some Of his
Oregon acquaintances. nothing loath
to profit by Mr.. Pitman's knowledge
of the manner in which nature depos-
its precious metals in their rocky mat
rices, with the result that the neces-
sary sinews were supplied to send Pit
out upon his quest for fortune. He
reached this country early last fall,
and although far along in years the
doughty prospector gathered together
such substances as was necessary to
sustain life and dived into the hills.
He was lost to sight for weeks. At last
he showed up and 1t was evident from
