ORES SEEN HERE
AMAZE VISITOR
Mine Expert OF Salt Lake Visits Kaabl
and Four Metals and Wires
Associates to Inspect.

w. b. Champion of Salt Lake, an ex-
perienced mining engineer, spent a
couple of days in OrOville the latter
part of last week, leaving for Ravel-
stoke, b. c., Saturday. Mr.. Champion
came out from Salt Lake to inspect
the British Columbia property for
prospective investors and, being in
Seattle. happened to see samples Of
ore from the Kaaba mine, located near
lNighthawk, and decided to inspect that
property on his way to Ravelstoke
Mr.. Champion expressed himself ds
perfectly surprised at the remarkable
| showing of ore in the Kaaba, both as
to quantity and quality, and declared
| that the property had every promise
of making big paying mine. So favor
ably impressed was he with what he
saw that he communicated by wire at
once with mining men of capital with
whom he is connected, and also with
w. S. Douglas, at Seattle, with the re-
suit that those men who have the
means to properly open mine, and
who have made fortunes mining in
other mining districts, will soon be in
Oroville to make thorough inspect
ion of the Kaaba.
While here Mr.. Champion met Col.
Grant, of the Four Metals mine, whom
he had known years ago in Cripple
Creek, and on the strength of that ac-
quaintance visited the Four Metals
mine. He stated to a reporter that he
was highly pleased with the appear
ance OF that property and believed
that Col. Grant had secured a mine Of
great promise.
Mr.. Champion was agreeably sur
prised to find such attractive indica-~
tions OF paying ore in this part of
Washington, and predicted that the
country would hav producing mines
as soon as experienced mining men
with means became interested.

with maintaining nuisance within
the town limits, was heard befol e

day evening. A number OF residents
living in the neighborhood of the al
legged nuisance were called as wit
nesses, and while some were rather
reluctant in admitting that their
olfactory nerves have been shocked
by odors eminating from a large cat
tie correl owned by Mr. Prince, others
were not backward in expressing their
disgust with the prevailing condition
OF things. A verbal tilt between a lady
witness and Attorney Williams. ao-
pearing for the defense, added
piquancy to the proceedings. Judge
Beale assessed fine of $25 against
Mr.. Prince. Mr. Williams gave notice
or appeal and bail bond of $10O was
given.

solutions are neither necessary mol
safe. but thoroughness must enter IN
to gain the best results.
This is strictly foliage spray and
both sides Of the leaf and all parts
of tender shoots must be thoroughly
sprayed. This gets two results-one
Iof killing any infection by contact
and the other of rendering immune
against new spore those parts that
have been spray coated.
To thoroughly apply, use high pres
sure. 20O-25O pounds, with fine mist
nozzle is to be desired, and casein
spreader greatly facilitates the appli-
cation of the spray.
Regarding the number of SPRAYS.
The first as mentioned above is the
pink spray, followed by the calyx
spray when a combination mildew
and coddling moth spray can be ap-
piled when two-thirds of the petals
have fallen. Following this two weeks
the third mildew spray of lime sui
phur alone and later sprays must be
regulated both by heat conditions and
the amount of infection. 1t is seldom
safe to spray with lime and sulphur
even at the weak strength of / to so
when the temperature reaches 80 de-
grees in the shade. If necessity should
arise for another spray some form of
paste sulphur should be used. In
closing, let us bear in mind a thor
ough application of the pink spray is
the one most effective spray against
the mildew-not only because it comes
at the start OF the mildew first growth
but that it greatly aids in rendering
immune the tender foliage and fruit
against possible sulphur injury by
later sprays.
