On This
Occasion
lust few thoughts by the Editor on things
Material and Immaterial

It is with the utmost regret that we
are called upon this week to announce
the passing of that noted and lovable
character, Claude NJ. Atkinson. AS can
be seen by the news story In anotner
column, Claude had gone to Illnols
to arrange for the removal OF nS
family to Minnesota where he expect
ed to make the family home again
after an absence of little over
year The removal was to take place
on New Years day but few days
previous he contracted the flu and he
passed away on the day he was to re-
turn to his beloved Minnesota. Claude
Atkinson was our friend and a friend
of every newspaper man in the state.
He was a man who stuck to friend
like glue and fought and bled for
him. He was the friend OF children
and after his family had grown, he
adopted two who were his pride and
Joy at the Hibbing home of the Atkln-
sons, the home also being always
open to his friends who We're legion.
Dad" as he was Familiarity known
welded a pen that spoke in vigorous
and fearless manner. His language
was plain and to the point and when
he hit a wrong, he hit it hard. He will
be missed.

With the first of the year also came
winter in all its ramifications. Monday
afternoon the weather changed to real
winter A slight snow fall slipped
things up somewhat. Before evening
the thermometer began to seek the
cellar position and TuSday morning
had reached down into the depths to
first level. Tuesday night was an
other excursion party for the mercury
and by Wednesday morning the
Thermometer showed something like
% below zero. Barring a few; extra
Shovels of coal, no harm was done and
the bracing, snappy cold put win,
wigor and vitality" into the populace
of this winter and summer play

Unlike other states which have "un-
usual weather" when tourists ask
about the inceSSant driZZling rains in
winter and the rainleSs summers, Min
nesota has weather all the year round
in keeping with the seasons. We have
summer in summer and winter in win
ter-and how. While the denizenS of
less favored sections are huddled
around the stove, the people of this
section help themselves to health
giving amusement in the nature of
and other forms of outdoor activities.
Below zero means nothing in this high
and dry atmosphere. This year we had
summer for half the winter and the
first of the new year was the first
real touch of winter we had

Why talk about the weather. Every
one does that and while everyone
talks about it, no one does anything
about it. We in Ely are satisfied. The
coal man says our credit is good and
the coal bills are usually paid some
time and the books are balanced for
action in time for a new supply. The
best part of the story is that we have
work all the year and a place on the
payroll means coal and warm cloth

completed our comparative studies of
the two routes proposed for the switch

ect, Federal Aid Project No. $50.
1.-THE advantages of the co-opera-
tive project with the railroad at track
grade are very apparent, as compared
with the original survey higher up on
the mountain. Yesterday we wrote the
railroad company, advising them that
we had decided on the railroad route
and requesting that they make def
mite proposition as to the division of
costs between the railroad and the
state. AS soon as we can come to an
agreement with them as to division of
costs, we will be able to complete our
plans and award the contract. should
say that the contract can probably be
awarded in October. We are doing
everything possible to expedite the
construction of this project. On &C

winter when there is very little traf-

Fire Reaches Ncls

The disastrous forest fire that has
been burning in the Columbia Falls
district for the past 10 days or long

According to F. j. Jefferson, sup
ervisor of the Kootenai national for
est, all forest fires in this district are
now under control. The Yaak and the
Bristow creek fires proved to be the
two largest ones, the first one cover
ing 600 acres and the second one 500
acres. Other more serious ones were
the one on French creek covering 200
acres, Shine creek 48 acres, Butler
creek SIS acres and the west fork of
II Mile creek 40 acres. In all there
have been 102 fires but only seven
of them covered more than 10 acres.
The excellent record made in keeping
these numerous fires down to such
small acreage was because Super

each vein to the mill will let the ore
down at a cost of not more than 80
cents per ton. One vein is about a
thousand feet up the hill and the
others about 1900 feet. The total dis
tance from the mill to Libby will be
38 miles.
Owing to the excitement now show
ing over the West Fisher district it
might be of interest to the newer
corners of the town and also call up
old memories to the old timers to re-
call some of the history of this coun-
try.
Some Early-Day History.
Prior to the r910 fire the West
Fisher district was going concern in
a large way: two towns, Cabinet City
and Foundation; many saloons and
even thriving newspaper, edited and
conducted by George ShaWler, who af-
terward moved the Libby Herald into
Libby. He is now, if not dead, gone
or busted, publishing newspaper at
Geraldine, Mont.
The disastrous fire that swept this
country in 1910 burned UP these afore-
mentioned cities and also all the mills
and mining equipment Of the district
except the Brick and Branagan out
fit on Bramlett creek. Prior to this
fire many mines were operating in
the district and it had considerable
population. There is much evidence
that there are many rich veins Of gold
bearing ore in the hills. The gold is
free yet in the oldAdnys when saving
it was attempted by amalgamation, or
the use of quick silver, only about
half could be saved. The miners per-
sisted, however, and were making

All Forest Fires In This District Are
NoY Under Control, a Total Of 1O2

visor Jefferson and his assistants had
their fire fighting organization so
well developed and ready for all emer-
pencies, with the result that fires
were soon spotted by the lookouts and
put out by the crews before they had
time to spread. At the height of the
battle during the past week there were
500 men on the battle line.
The fires on the Yaak and on Bris-
tow creek did considerable damage,
stated Mr.. Jefferson, burning in green
spruce timber As far as is known,
all these fires were due to lightning.
The plane observed over the dis
trict TuesdSa9 was piloted by Howard
Flint, observM for the forest service.

Has Interested Mining Men.

Chas. Lager returned the past week
from a visit to Metaline Falls, the
mining district in Washington that
is attracting so much attention at
present. He states that he comes back
more firmly convinced than ever Of
the real advantages here for mining
development. He says that while there
he succeeded in interesting a numbr
of moneyed men in the Libby district
and one Of them, Otto Swanson, sup
erintendent Of the Oriole Lead and
Metal Mining company, will arrive
here soon to go over this district.

HAS RICH SHOWING OF ORE
FROM THIS DISTRICT

J. w Barrett has an interesting
exhibit of Libby ores in the windows
of his place of business. The ore from
the Golden West Mining company is
attracting special attention with its
heavy showing of free gold, visible to
the naked eye. With the recent re-
markable new discovery made on this
property it is believed it will prove
to be one of the richest ever located
in the northwest.
There is also some excellent ore
