REPRESENTS RELIABLE FIRM

w. T. Gerow of Los Angeles, men,
ber Of the well known firm of Smith
& Holden, of New York, fruit commits
sion merchants, spent several days in
Oroville during the past week. Mr..
Gerow handles the California business
for Smith & Holden, and was up here
looking over this end of the territory
wnere the firm operates. Mr.. Gerow
is one of those genial gentlemen who
makes friends readily and he met
with a cordial welcome from growers
and shippers in this part of the valley.
Mr. Gerow represents one of the most
reliable firms with which our ship
pers have ever done business. Smith
& Holden handled apples for eighteen
Oroville growers last year, the returns
| to the producers was above the aver
, age, and they have established such a
reputation for fair dealing that they
will again secure much patronage
from this locality. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Holden visited this Sec
| tion last fall visit that proved to be
! mutually beneficial between his firm
and the producers whom he met and
| made contracts with Mr.. Holden will
| again make a trip west this fall and
spend some days in Oroville.

EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY.

The sympathy of the entire commu-
nifty goes out to Mr.. and Mrs. r. H.
Beck at this time when the life of their
son, Earl Beck, so awfully injured in
railroad accident. hangs in the bal
ance. Earl is the eldest child in the
family. He is most industrious and
careful young man. Only recently he
was transferred from the Marcus run
to the run between Oroville and
Princeton, a change that was hailed
with pleasure by the entire family. A
week or two ago ne purchased a resi-
dence in the north part of town just
as an investment, showing that the
young man had business head, saw.
ing his money and looking out for the
future. The Gazette force is especially
depressed over this great sadness
that has come to worthy family, be.
cause the victim of the accident has
worked at odd times in this office ant
we always found him strictly reliable
and trustworthy. May the hand Of
providence yet save him for his fam
| lily and for his friends.

SETTLING A MINING CASE.

Among tn numerous groups of min
ing claims located in tae north part
OF the county upon wnich more or less
work has been done in the past with
results that gave indications of the
presence of paying ore in quantity,
there are few that have shown up bet
ter than what is known as the Four
Metals group, located only a short
distance west of the kaaba mine. The
discovery Of mineral in that particular
zone was made years ago and the
name of the original finder or finders
is lost in the musty records of other
days. This particular property has
been worked from time to time and
much development done with the open
ing up OF large ore deposit. Like too
many mining properties upon which
work has been started in high hopes
and bright promise in, ,tlis upper coun-
try those who bonded the Four Metals
with the object of making = mine have
run out of working capital before the
goal has been gained. In one instance
progress had been carried so far that
machinery was installed and a mill
constructed, but it was found in the
end that the mill was not properly
equipped for saving the values in the
ore. Litigation grew out of the last ef-
fort to make a mine and the property
has been tied up for months and per-
mitted to remain idle. According to the
following item taken from the Okla
hogan Independent it appears that the
litigation has finally been ended by
the court deciding in favor of the
original lOcatOrs and there is now
hopes that work of development will be
renewed at an early day and continue
until the Four Metals becomes a reg
ular producer and paying handsome
return to the operators:
The suit brought by DR.. e. K.
Effner, w. o. Steele and James Stack,
the original locators of the Four Met
ais mining claims, to have the con-
tract which had been made with Geo.
Grant and others for the purchase of
| tle claims, forfeited, and to retain ma
| chinery and buildings which had been
erected on the property, was settled
by agreement of the attorneys after
all evidence on both sides had been
submitted.
"By the decree which will be sub
mitted to Judge Neal, it was agreed
that George Grant, who is mortgage,
had no interest in the claims, but that
ne was entitled to all the machinery
and equipment which had been INSTALL
ed on the property. Three of the build
ings which have been erected by Grant
and associates are to- be retained by
the original owners, the balance being
| adjudged to Grant.
| THE Four Metals property is locat-
ed in the Similkameen mining district
near Nighthawk, approximately 15
miles west of Oroviile.'

A GENTLE HINT.

Mention is made elsewhere that
Bishop Page laid plans for the con-
struction of new Episcopal churcl
while here. a building that has been
under contemplation for some time.
Rev. Gray is-losing no time in getting
work started. The building will be
largely under the charge of ID. j.
Broderick, a gentleman whose exper-
ience especially qualities him for sup
erintending an undertaking of the
kind and Monday he had his instru-
ments out surveying the ground and
esta blshing the location of tle build
ing. Now. the building, which Is 60
ing to be a credit to the town, Is go
ing to strain the resources of the
small body of communicates. The pub
lie generally has not been solicited to
extend helping hand, but the Gazette
suggests that If there are any indi-
viduals in the community who are in
worthy purpose, and who have not al
ready expressed a willingness to do so
it would be a gracious and timely act
if they would extend helping hand.
The churches of Oroville are already
doing too little appreciated work
for the moral and spiritual well being
of the people of the town. and espec-
tally the young, and they should be en-
couraged in that labor of love, and
one way Of doing so is to provide at
tractive and comfortable places OF
worship. The old Episcopal church
1as certainly done pioneer service and
with a growing list of communicates
a larger and better structure is need
ed. Help provide one.

TO WORK HIS PLACER CLAIM.

1t will be remembered that Riley
Coyle created a sensation last fall by
bringing into town and displaying a
handful of coarse placer gold. 1t was
the kind of gold to make an old placer
miners eyes pop out, and IL found in
some remote and inaccessible place
would have caused a stampede. But
the gold was taken out of the bank OF
the Similkameen river, near Oroville.
where thousands Of dollars WORTH OF
placer gold was washed out some 70
years ago, and gold in smaller guam
titles has been recovered by prospect
ors every year since the big rush. But
Mr.. Coyle's find was the most extra
ordinary that has been made in years
as to quantity and the size Of the
nuggets. This gold was found late in
the season and by the time Mr.. Coyle
had set up his sluices and prepared
for real work OF washing on larger
scale tnan by means of the gold pan
winter came on ending all further
proceedings. However, Mr.. Coyle has
not abandoned the ground, and he
still hopes TO realize something hand
some when he gets fairly to work. He
left for the scene OF his find Tuesday
and it is his intention to thoroughly
prospect and work the bar upon which
tne nuggets were found. The result
of his operations will be looked for
ward to with a great deal Of interest
| by the residents of this place. IL he
unearths much more gold like that he
found last fall there will be a rush to
the old diggings and boom will de-
velop along the Similkameen river.

A dance will be given in Odd Fell

the auspices of the Knights of Pythias

cal lodge is expected to be present,
and the friends of the members will be

GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL VISITOR

w. w. Brown of Kansas City, spent
last Friday night in Oroville. Mr..
Brown is one of the three supervisors

vice Of the government whose duties
it is to cover the United States.
checking up the various and many
immigration stations land organizing
a uniformity of system in the conduct
of the agencies and agents. 1t Is po-
sition that keeps the holder thereof
pretty much constantly on the go, and
could appeal only to the man who en-
joys travelling. Mr.. Browns home Is
in Kansas City, and ne is playing in
luck 10 see his family two or three
times annually. Wnen Mr.. Brown was
in Oroville he was on the last leg Of
la protracted transcontinental tour that
commenced on the Atlantic, follow
ed down along the Mexican border,
up through California, Oregon, and
Washington, to Victoria and Van
, couver, B. c., and will continue on
through the states until he lands back
in Kansas City sometime within the
next month, covering period of some
six months. Here Mr. Brown was sur
prised to meet up with d. Maske, the
local immigration inspector whom he
first met while Mr. Maske was serving
| in the same capacity at Ellis Island,
New York, in the summer of 1908. 1t
is far cry between Ellis Island and
| Oroyille, and long period of separa-
| ton between 1903 and 1923, and hence
the two government officials were
pleased as well as surprised to meet
,again after so long a time and so far
from the place of their first coming
| together

GAME AT PATEROS.

The local ball club will drive down
TO Pateros Sunday to play a return
game with the team of that place. A
fortnight ago the Pateros boys took
the locals into camp, and the locals
are out this time with blood in their
eve with the determination of return
ing the compliment The local team
has been considerably strengthened
and the game ought to be much bet
ter one than the first played with the
Pateros boys. Anyhow, the swatters
at the southeast corner Of the county
will have to go some If they land the
bacon Sunday.

AUTO TOURISTS ON THEIR WAY.

The auto tourist Is again on his way.
A number of autos loaded down with
grips and in some instances with
camping outfits, and always loaded
with passengers, have passed through
town during the past week, some 60
ing into camp for the night. This
tourist travel was large last year ard
promises to be much greater, during
the present season as the beauty Of
the trip. or rather tle beauty Of the
country through which the trip is
made, becomes better known. There
are several excellent camping places
around Oroville close in and all who
travel over the road are cordially well
come to use the same for as short or
long periods as they may desire. +:

END OF SCHOOL YEAR.

The local schools will ring down
the curtain ON the school year work
next Friday, after quite sue
cessful term. The teachers will scat
ter TO tleir several homes, as all ex-
cept three or four are non-residents
and the pupils will enter upon their
summer vacation. That the corps of
teachers have given satisfaction is
proven by the fact that all of them
have been offered contracts for an
other term, except Superintendent
Davenport, who did not make appli-
cation. Just how many of the teachers
will renew contracts and return to
Oroville next fall is not known at this
time.

School Tonight.

Tonight, the senior class OF the
oroville high school will appear In a
play for the last time this season and
the auditorium. where the perform
ance is TO be given, saould be crowd
ed to the very limit of standing room.
II FOR nothing else than to give the
class rousing hail and farewell for
the school year. But you will be suf-
ficently well repaid for bucking the
hill by the entertainment that the
young ladies and gentlemen will pro-
vide for the audience. During the
school year drawing to an end the
scnolars have given several pIays

fountain of knowledge at the local
school in the past, and while partak-
ing nave provided entertainment for

can be said that the pupils taking part
In pubic performances during the past
year have given evidence of possess
ing more stage talent than their
predecessors. Possibly the present
scholars have been more fortunate in
the selection of plays than those who
have gone before, that is, plays better
adapted to presentation by amateurs.
and that would count largely in their
favor. Anyhow, and whatsoever. the
boys and girls of the high school put
up good show and the one for this
evening will be equal in every re-
spect to those already given during
the school year. The following synop-
sis of the play, When Feller Needs
a Friend" and the cast of Characters,
is again published for the informa-
tion of the public:
When Feller Needs a Friend.
What memories that brings to one!
This is the name of the poppy and
laughable play to be given by the Sem
iors, May is, at the high school audi
torium.
The play deals with a young artist
and his companions. Bob Mills, a mag
azine writer. who are living In New
York.
Tom, the artist, has caused his aunt
to believe he was married so that he
would receive a check from her for a
wedding present. His castles are final
ly crushed, when he discovers his aunt
every way and the supply of power for
every purpose was ample.
