tr*ct nf beautiful laud ju«t to the

The following is a copy nf ii circular
of instructions that has been issued
regarding the opening of the north
h .If nf lbe reservation :
"Homesteaders cannot make actual
'settlement before noon on October 1(1,
I'OI. Otherwise th-y would lie "sooner*  and if found out would lose their

hoineslead law, must, pay "ill cents an I

Washington is.
A homesteader can live It months
from date of entry on his Innd and
then pay foi it al $1.50 per acre, When
a claimant is seek! ig title iu lbe least
time, he will adopt this alternative,"
The chance* are congress will pas* a

I chiefly valuable for its timber and non-
mineral as iu the code of land entered
under the homestead law,
Under Acl of Oongres* opening the
reservation, each Indian, no mailer of
what sge, was entitled to Nl acres ol
land, and eirb SU acres was in n single
tract, If a Ulan ha I a wife and half-a-
dozen children, the wife and children
received lhe same amount ol hind per
capita as I he father and hustiand, At
the time Ilie allotment of land to Indians wa* inad» there were only
Sim Indians, including half breeds, ou
lhe north half of the reservation, so
i thai the total amount of land required
lor Ihem was 81,000 acres. There are
i nearly 1,500,000 arres of In ud altogether
| in the north half. Thus il will he seen,
lhc Indians absorbed a mere insignili
cant fraction of the whole amount,
However, it must not hn supposed all
those lands are agricultural land*. It
is a mountainous country, and onlj
the valleys and bench lands are lit fo
cultivation, Hut there nre here and
ihere   magnificent   stretches  of tine
Kt'ji/.ing lands.   Much nf th mntry is
prairie, and many of the mountains
themselves are covered hy a limirianl
growth of grass and are free from timber. For twenty miles after leaving
Curlew station, Ihe rond leading lo
Republic p.is-es through the Curlew
valley and along Curlew lake, with
thousands and thousands of acres ol
fertile prairie land on either side,   It
is one of the most ferl iie pieces of conn
liy ill the noitliwest.'iind will support
ji large funning population,
The Importance to Midway ot the
opening of these lands run scarcely be
overestimated. Kor the Inforinatioii
of those not familiar with the physical
features of the country, it may he

International boundary line ut Midway, and afler making a rough semi
circular detour of about 'fit miles reenters Canada al liaison, some ten or
twelve miles due east of Midway. Curlew creek, at lbe head of which is the
tioiirishltig town of Republic, Wash.,
joins the Kellie river at Curlew, a
small seltlemeie about 111 miles south
east of Midway, Between Midway
and I'lirlew lhe Keltic river valley is

largely from the consideralile accession
ot Industrial population that will follow the opening of Ihe land to white
settlement, Thrifty fanners with
their families are a material support to

prospect of the nuuiliers of this desirable class who have hitherto done business with Midway merchants being

COUNTY  COURT,
BODIE CAMP.
A Rich Camp to the South of Midway
that Is Coming to the Front.
Bodie camp is situated ahout twelve
miles  south  of   Midway,   Heretofoie
little has heen heard about this camp,
hut of lale much development work
has   lieen  done and the result* have
proved   so  satisfactory   that   several
companies owning mines iu the camp
have decided to get everything in readiness to carry on work throughout the
I coining winter, while others will commence almost immediately, and when
lhe richness of ihis camp becomes better known it will receive the attention
it is justly  entitled  to.   It  contain*
ledges of free gold, and with a good
wagon road from Ihe camp to Midway
the cost of transportation will lie comparatively small, and by the time the
mines are ready to ship to any extent
.the Standard Copper Company's smel-
I ter, which is being built near Midway,
will I e completed and in a position to
treat I he ores, ubich are very suitable
for pyritie smelling.
Probably the richest mine known in
the entire ramp is tho Bixlie, owned
hy the IJ'die Mining Company, 'from
which samples of ore have ta-eii taken
carrying free gold which could easily
be seen with tile miked eye and assaying as high as $1,000 tti the ton.   On
ihis claim a shaft about 120 feet deep
was sunk nearly two years ago, and
since then little or no work was done
nnlil Inst Bprillg, when several open
cuts  were  run   and a tunnel started
which is now iu 27u feet, and il is expected when this tunnel has lieen run 00
feet farther to lap the ledge at a depth
of 'in feet, and should the nre at this
level li- found rich enough to prove
that, greater  assays are attained hy
deplh another tunnel, 1,0011 feet long
and gaining nearly ;V«l feet in depth,
he sl ailed close do,vn to the creek.
The property Ims lieen prospected by a
series of open nils almut 200 feet apart,
showing the ledge to run the entire
length  of tlie claim.   The lirst open
rut  that was rin -bowed the ledge to
he 111 feet wide and giving an average
assay of $|IKI in  gold, while n seam
next lo the hanging wall,  which wus
ahoul  one fool  wide, assayed all the
way I'i om $.Vm to HU.I0I in gold. About
li") torn will be put to work on Ihe
property in a few days, and a new
shafl   house, hunk house and dining
lull will be erected,   A numher of ore
car* have been ordered for the mine,
ami nre expected to arrive iu a few
days.
The Myrtle i* another property that
ba* a very fair showing. A til-foot
shaft has been sunk and nt lhat depth
a ledge ot good looking ore was encountered, hut it. is thought tbat it is
not lbe main lead, so an open cot wa*
run and another ledge disclosed, which
is supposed lo hi a continuation of that
running through the Hi*lie, and the
next work done will la- to sink a shaft
ou this ledge.
The Maud Wcst.nwnodhy Biengmuli
and Haiti, is undoubtedly the makings
of a good mine, ll was loeated ou
.Ian, 1st, 1.H1HI, and joins the Bodle on
the souih. A ledge 10 feet wide crops
out on the sui face, from which all ns-
say of $l'2 wns obtained. A 31-foot,
shaft wn* sunk on this ledge, ami it
wa* found that at t his depth Ihe value
of lbe ore lmd increased to $02. At
present a tunnel is iu 170 feet, and
when another 10 feet have la-en run it
is expected to lap the ledge at a depth
of over 100 feet, and in all probability
the ore al that depth will give good
assay values.
The Klk has the best surface showing in the camp, but this is no doubt
due to the fact lhat it is a galena proposition. From 21 assays taken from
the ledge nt dilferent distances across
tlie eulire length of the claim, the
highest  was ii'M).   The property bus

years from the date of illiug of the in

so havesiill fnr:her demonstrated the
continuity of the rich oxidized ore,
which hns made tliis properly the best
prospect ill tbe cainp. punning* from
iii surface being equalled only by those
trom the now famous Cariboo in its
rlier days. It matters not whereabouts on file vein, which has now been
exposed for some tM Mt feel, a pan of ihi*
oxidized matter is taken a good showing of free gold is obtained. Six open
in^s or crosscuts have been made to
show tip the vein, tbe width of which
bas not been delimtely ascertained.
The thickness or deplh of this oxidized
mil ter seems to vary, being in some
places about III feel, and under which
is found sulphide ore carrying gold
li is tiie opinion of many old miners
that ibe liars on Kock creek, more particularly the rich White's bar. which
is hbt a short distance below the Dayton claim, were fed by this rich decomposed surfnee ore. That ibis property will snnie day be a veritable
bonanza seems certain when the necessary capital ia forthcoming to develop
it.
The British Colunihia Copper coinpaiiy have deeideil to sink I ha main
shaft of their Mother Lode mine, near
Greenwood, to the 600-fool level, The
present depth Is 325 feet, Tbisdenisinn
is of importance, since there is no shafl
in the Boundary district at present
down to the 600-foot level. The nearest
to thnt depth is the Nn. 2 shaft nt the
Old Ironsides mine, in Greenwood
camp. This new development at the
.Mother Lode will he pushed on with
so as lo get the work as far forward as
possible before the end nf the cm rent
year, by which time new and larger
plant will have been installed at the
mine and Btuping ore to supply the
company's smelter, now approaobing
completion, hive been undertaken on
| a comparatively   large scale.    This
large. It appears Boyle wns taken to I
Grand Forks and placed in charge of
Provincial OonBiahle I. A. Dlnsmore.
The next morning Dlnsmore set the
prisoner, who was shackled, lo carry |
in some wood, hut ns he wus an anibi
t imis. young fellow and by no means
lazy, he informed the constable that he
was considerably handicapped by the
sharkles. and that if Ihey were renin'.
ed he would guarantee the removal of
a greater quantity of w 1 in a much
less lime.   Whereupon Dlnsmore, with
ji view to getting more work done,
complied with the request, hut nt the
snine time Informing Ihe prisoner In
words Lhat did nol huve a double
meaning, that the removal of the
shackles did not in any Way release
him frntn six months' hard labor, carrying In wood and performing such
household duties as might he required
of him. The shackles were removed,
and Boyle with an armful of wood
Btarted to follow Diusmore Into Ihe
office, hut with a beautiful hill ou one
side and only 11 constable ou tin- other
he fell such an air of freedom about
him thai he dropped the wood ami
look lo tho hill just above the j iii, fol
lowed by the constable, whn in the
name of the Queen und other monarch*
ordered him to hall, hut the wily prisoner had previously sized up the sltt.it
