the purpose Of the clay is to fill the
voids and coat the grains Of sand, six
inches Of loose, or three inches Of COM
pact clay should make a sand-clay sur
face of the proper mixture between
eight and ten inches thick.
After the clay is spread, it will gen.
orally be found advisable to cover it
with a little sand, which al be done
by means of the road machine or
grader. The next step is thorough in
corporation Of the materials. The mix
ing proper may be done in a number
Of ways and to suit the facilities OF
he builder. If the work is done just
preceding or during the rainy season
it may be left entirely to traffic, with
frequent shaping by the road grader,
Or drag, after heavy rains, but this
process is hard on traffic and requires
Il long time. The mixing can be done
most efficiently by means of a disk
harrow either during or Immediately
after a rain, or the water may be
added with a sprinkling cart. The
first partial mixing may be done dry
but the final mixing must be thorough
and should be done when the entire
road surface is completely saturated
with water until a plastic mortar-like
mixture is secured. This should be
followed by a final shaping with the
road machine and compacting By
either q roller or by traffic.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.
Irdian Religious Convention Fed by
Mother Nature.

Port Angeles, Aug. 5.-Manna from
heaven fed Elijah under the juniper
tree.
For the wearied Children of Israel.
Moses produced bread from heaven
and water from the rocks Of the vii
derness.
The Nazarenc Fed the multitude on
FIVE loaves and two fishes.
Six hundred members of the "Shak-
err conference of Indians at the little
Indian village Of Jamestown, near
Sequim,are now being fed by a mirac-
uous run of salmon.
Not for 25 years have the tides OF
July and August left salmon on the
beach. Among the younger Indian
the annual salmon runs on the James
town tideflats had become little morn
than a legend. 1t was as if the Great
Father had suddenly withdrawn HI,
favor.
Last Saturday night following TIE
impulse of their ancestors salmon BY
the thousand were swept up on the
flats by the incoming tide and when
i receded hundreds were left en-
ertangled in seaweed. Indians har-
vested over the weekend the gift and
reioiced in the miraculous return Of
the fishes.
When food for 500 Indians assemb-
led at the "Shakcr" convention was
becoming distressing problem, as in
the days of old kind heaven sent
food Now the followers of the In
dian-founded religion have ampl,
provisions for their assembly.

RED MOUNTAIN OLE
SELLS Ills CLAIMS TO
ROYAL DV'MfNT. CO.
FIVE CLAIMS INCLUDED IN THE
DEAL. RED MOUNTAIN OLE
MAY MINE DURING HIS LIFE,
ACCORDING TO CONTRACT.

John Smith (Red Mountain Ole)
has sold his five claims to the Royal
Development Co., but retains the
right to mine during his life. He is
paid cash consideration and will
draw monthly payment during his
life, besides retaining the right to
work the mines. He may employ two
men to assist him or in the event that
he is incapacitated he may employ a
third man.
The claims are said to be just above
those of the Royal Development Co.,
and probably cover some of the rich
est ores in the Northwest. Copper is
the main mineral, but they are said
to run very high in silver with some
gold. 1t is said that some of the ore
is worth $4,000 per ton. The only
drawback to operating in the Red
Mountain district has been its mac
feasibility, but the Royal Develop
ment Co. is overcoming this difficulty.
Their former holdings were large and
valuable and they have been develop
ing it for several years. First "a road
had to be opened, then such machin-
cry as could be taken in by team and
truck was provided. A railroad is
NJ" pidnIleu 10 DC Dulll, perhaps next
year, and plans were made some years
age to establish a plant on the land
purchased from Andy Abbott, where
the ores will be handled. This plant
will be some fifteen or twenty miles
this side of the mines and it is likely
that a considerable town will even
tually grow up around it.
There are still untold riches in the
mountains to the north of Leaven-
worth which have never been filed up
on or which have reverted to the gov
errment for the reason of their mac
cessibility. If railroads are built out
that way that will some day become
one of the great producing centers of
the state, but great capital and years
OF work with large forces are neces-
sary to its development Mr. Smith
was one of the few individuals VINO
were able to hold on until an advan-
tageouS sale could be made to big
concern. There are few other hardy
mining men who still are holding
claims south of there, but we under
stand that dozens, perhaps hundreds.
have had to abandon valuable claims
foi the simple reason that there is 40
hope that they can be worked profit
ably for many years.
