annulling ones on some portions of
the old ones, is becoming a source of
great inconvenience to attorneys.
Arn't We going to be tortured by

make us rather bear tho ills we feel,
than listen to others, that in their
intricacies do puzzle us most sore.
Things said by one and explained by
the other, that make us grow dizzy

We clip the following from the Oregon!
an, in regard to the Pine creek mines:
"Probably the coming season will witness
many changes, as respects claim owners.
They will either sell at low (Inures or else go
to work on their claims, and with drill and
dynamite put them in :i state of develop
ment where they can legitimately ask high
llgure. Again.' last year the snow was an
unknown quantity both as to its depth and
as to tlie time of its advent. Xow, howev
er, it is known that the ground will he bare
from June to November, and that during
the entire winter there will be practically
no ditilculty in working claims where the
work shall be fairly tt-der way before the
lirst snowfall. There is a possibility of a
great mining city there, with a population
of L'O.OOO people," and a bullion output of
$10,(KK1,(KX) per annum."
(lone tn Work,
Contractors Shaw it MeLenid passed
through town this week, on their way to the
Pine creek road, where tlioy will at once es
tablish three camps and begin work on their
contract. They expect to work about IK)
men. and several teams, Mr. Shaw is
(piite Saturnine that they will be able to
complete the road in two" months. This is
a short time to do so much work as will be
necessary to construct a good wagon road,
but both Mr. Shaw and Mel.eoid are expe
rienced road men and know what thev are
talking about. Mr. Shaw, especielly, is
anxious to complete the road ns early as
possible, not only that they may make bet
ter wages on their contract, but' because he
will he benefitted with the rest of the peo
ple, by the road being built.

Mr. It. 15. DavN, of the firm of Davis,
O'Mallv it Co., who hip at present engaged
in placer mining on Kiglo creek, informs
us that they have completed a ditch 1000
feet long, li! feet wi le, and .'! feet deep, for
the purpose of tin ning Kaglc creek from its
channel. The dam will be completed to
day, and the work of mining the old chan
nel will cummereo at mice. Mr. Davis
thinks they are on the right track, and have
a rich thing, and from the nice, little pile of
coar gold he -hort.nl us, taken from two
pans of dirt, we think so too. They are lo

While Mr. 1). Sonnncf was out
driving, last Sunday, in crossing
Willow creek bridge, just south of the
town, one of the horses broke through,
which frightened the term so badly
that they attempted to run aWay.
They Were prevented from doing so
by the presence of mind of A. J. Pat
ten, who sprang from the carriage
and caught tho frightened horses by
the bits. Mr. B. D. Hubers, who was
also in tho carriage, in attempting to
get out was thrown under the heels
of the infuriated be.-wts, but fortunate
ly escaped without serious injury.
Wo are sorry to state that Summcr
villo is to have no .Spring nor Summer
term of school. A tax Was levied at
the annual school meeting, but owing
to the fact that no exemption was
made at tho time of assessment, tho
peoplo have refused to pay the amount
levied. Sumnierville, while taking
active strides towards advance merits
in other directions, docs not take the
pride in the education of her children
Unit she should. Many of the oppos
ers of the tax arc men whose interests
all centre in the advancement of the
town. They vote against a light
school tax in order to save it few
dollars at present, never stopping to
think that by so doing they aro bin
dring tho progress of the town, and
thus preventing an Increase in the
value of their towij property. There
are many citizens of tho surrounding
country that would purchase property
in town and move hero for tho pur
pose of schooling their children,
should the people Uko pride enough
in their school to keep it running nine
months of tho year. .Many immi
grants from tho East refuse to locate
in our town, because of the lack of
interest in school matters among our
citizens. We hope that the directors
will call another meeting for the pur
pose of levying a tax, and that all the
citizens of our town will bo out in
strong force, ano by giving a Vote for
a tax sufficient to keep school running
nine months of tho year, do more for
ouo town than can bo done in ten
years at the present stulo of affairs.
