packs solidly as 1t settles. How long
1T will take to fill the cement storage
tank when operations are under full
Roadway, can only be proved by dem
onstration.
Tests Not Conclusive.
So much for the question of values
My tests are by no means conclusive
and are not so presented but in my
opinion they prove that there is coarse
gold in the creek bed and good values
in the black sands, which are appar-
emily abundant. AS a matter of fact
it was already certain that the creek
contained fair values over practically
its entire course within the company's
property, owing to the fact that there
are evidences of early work of primi-
tive character and it is a fair assump-
ton that the old placer pioneers did
not waste much time upon worthless
gravel in the days when railroads
were unknown in the Northwest and
grub" worth more than the gold they
sought
Flume Construction Massive.
During my visit 1 had the first OPP
portunity of seeing for myself the
maui VI NhC NOuOli VI the DlE
bedrock flume 1t is almost 800 feet
long and 45 feet wide at the throat or
upper end Across the mouth is a
dead-head of five 70-lb. steel rails
bolted together, which acts as a buff
fer for big boulders. Inside of the
deadhead is % lineal feet of cement
work, built up on 70-lb. steel rails,
laid lengthwise, all bolted together
and filled in with cement. This con-
struction prevents breaking down of
the flume intake
When the material carried by the
water leaves the cement floor, it first
runs over 1872 feet of grizzlies, made
of channel iron, set 3-32-inch apart,
with clearance of % Inch below the
aperture. Underneath is a 6-inch I'M
dercurrent space, with draw-off valves
set II feet apart, kept open continual
ly and thus allowing a steady stream
of heavy gray sands, black sands and
fine gold into the 40,000-ton cement

ant Manager S. A. Deardoff and SUI
perintendent Ralston, / also took a
sample of black sands and fine gold
from the cement tank, known as the
Blue Hole into which the material
passes from the first 3-22-inch griz-
lilies in the upper part of the bedrock
flume. The tank was frozen over to
some depth and the sample was only
secured at some trouble The tank
is said to hold around 10000 tons and
Mr.. Deardoff says it is now about
one-third full. l was unable to verify
the statement, however, owing to the
thick covering of fee.
The sample consisted of full gold
pan, weighing possibly 35 pounds.
From it was PANIED 20 grammes of
black sand, showing some small
specks of native gold. l brought the
70 grammes to Spokane and placed it
in the hands of c. NJ Fassett & Co.,
with instructions to determine the
amount of metallics and assay the
balance for gold, silver, lead and plat
mum. The result showed II MILL
grams of metallics and total gold
value of 1922 ounces, or $314.59; sill
yer, 1.9 ounces, or $190; no lead and
no platinum The metallics accounted
for asa ounces of gold. or $93S4, the
balance of 1868 ounces, or $222.65,
being in the black sands.
Figuring upon a recovery of black
sands equal to the recovery in the 35
pounds PANIED, the tank, when full,
would contain between lao and $50
tons of black sands and fine gold,
worth say from $4,000 to $4,000. It
is obvious, however, that higher values
may be expected as the bottom of the
tank is approached, as the material

it fell upon one man. Add to that task
the energy necessary to meet an in

organized to oppose the alleged ex-
tension of Rock Island township
boundaries coincident with the mu-

plans for a township election
April 4.
The call for party caucuses ig-
nores the claim of the Rock Island
township organization that it has
jurisdiction in the greater portion
of the South Rock Island territory
and exercised that right in calling
a recent township primary.
Result will be that voters in that
part of the city of Rock Island be-
yond Eighteenth avenue may par
ticipate in both the Rock Island and
the South Rock Island town cleo
lions. The Rock Island town board
has designated three polling places

forgetfulness on the part of the

Caught his arm. The Indian had
lifted his hand-palm upward.
'shawnee!" said the lad, as two
more appeared from the bushes.
The eyes OF the two tidewater boys
grew large. and both clinched their
guns convulsively. The Indian
spokesman paid no heed except to
ETskine-and only from the lads
face, in which surprise was sue

thoughtfulness, could. they guess
wath the cultural speech meant,

They were not on tho war path

HIS foster father-Kahtoo. the big
chief, tho king-was very III, and
! his message, brought by them, was
| tina Erskinc should come back to
the tribe and become chief, as the
chiefs only daughter was dead and
his only son had been killed BY
the palefaces.
They knew that. IN the fight at
the fort Erskine had killed the
Shawnee, his tormentor, for they
knew tho arrow, which 'Erskine had
not had time 10 withdraw. The
dead Shawner's brother-Crookcu
Lightning-was with them. He 1t
was who had recognized the boy the
day before and they had kept him
from Killing ErskIuO from the
bushes
He sat on his horse like king
and spoke rs q king. He banked
them for holding back Crooked
LightnIng's evil hand. but-con-
temptuously he spat toward the
huge savage-he was not TO die by
that hand. He was a naleface and
the Indians had slain his white
mother. He had forgiven that. for
he loved the old chief and his fos-
ter mother and brother and sister
and the tribe had always been
kind to him. Then they had killed
his white father and he had gone
to visit his kindred by the big
waters, aud now he loved them.
II will come when the leaves
fall" no conclud-'l. but Crooked
Lightning must pack his lodge in
the wilderness and be an outcast
from the tribe until he can show
that his heart Is good" And then
with an imperlous gesture he
waved his hand toward The west:

realize that the lad, 10 all purposes,
was actually then the chief of a
powerful tribe, and even he was a
little awed by the instant odbelece
OF tho savagcs, who, without q word
melted into the bushes and Lisap,
pcared.
It was nearing sunse' and from a
littlo hill Dave pointed to thin
blue wisp of smoke rising far ahead
from the green oxpanse.
