S MINER. SECOND YEAR.-NO. 61. GRAND FORKS, B. €., SATURDAY, J FLY 10, 1897. , .1" , i ■***= J'RIXIE FIVE CENTS. 18 PHY .DIRT Place? JJigging? in the City Limits. SIXTEEN CLAIMS TAKEN New Mining Excitement Oausei by the * Discovery of Gold-bearing Gravel Eight at Hompi. Grand Forks bids fair to J30 tho center of a new kind of mining excitement for this section, as placer diggings have 'been discovered within the corporate •limits of the oity arid practical demonstration has proven tljat gold exists in the gravel in quantitios that will pay aod pay well. 'Tho placer diggings are ■located on the bar west of tbo business fart of the city, between the "first benchi1' and the main Kbtlle riyer. ' The fact that ihe gravel of this river carries gol.l was tjiscoverod by S/S. Schuler of this city last fall. Mr, S^hu- ler was procuring sand for building purposes, and qut of curiosity he panned .some of it after sifting froni the gravel. ■ 'To his surprise a nuniber of color*; were shown and further tests conclusively proved that tbe sand of this bar was Valuable for another pqrpose' than making mortar. Mr. Schuler said nothing about his find until on th3 ith of Juiy jn company with E. H. Willett and two Others he located the Eighteen Karat group. Under the placer laws the original discovers of: bar placer diggings can "take up c'lai.ms' of 25.Q feet water front and from low water to high wator mark until four such have been taken, then every succeeding clai-n must be not more than J00 feet along the water frqqf*.. Under this pr vision th9 Eighteen .Karat group of four oUinjs, tho Golden jShore, Golden, Nugget arid Gold Dust, were staked occupying 1,000 feot of river front and extending back to tho tench a distance of from 100 to GOO feet. About 100 feet of flume arid sluice was at once put in arid this is now being increased to pOtjJeet. Since tne ''18 Oarat group" was staked six additional olaims, covering all that Was left of the bar, have been takon up. Tbe Golden Gate, at the heaij of tho bar, was staked by Robert Pribilsky, and below the 19 Qarat groi^p claim3 have peen taken up in qrijar as follows. The New Era by Rtibe Hull, Independence 'by q. $. McCarter, Ballarat by E. H. McCarter Jr., Liberty by J. H, Pernios, and Grand Forks by Mrs. A. V. Davis. 'Ihe CJranii Forks and Golden Qate are eaph 100 feet square, and, the others jange from 200 to fjOO feet in length. Messers Schuler and Willett put in about 150 feet of flume and a 14 foot •sluice box with a grimly and Hungarian riiiles witli qne pound of quick silver scattered through the box. The •structure wa.s yery etude ijnd was intended more to detj*on*st)*ato whether or i.et tbp gold copld be saved at all, than fur any permanent working. Four yards of the gravel was run through and the lirst 'fclean up," made Wednesday evening, gave $5.50. By panning (he "tajlings" both gold and quicksilver pould be found, shqwing that not all of |ho gold thut wont into the box was Caved, and that a part of tho quicksilver 1 waped. Experienced placer miners pay that it is a conservative estimate to jilaee t}ie value nf the gqld in the gravel lit 92.GQ per cubic yi*,rd. During the week tbe now placer ground has bepn the one absorbing topic of conversation on the streets and the workings being bo easy of access, there was a constant stream of visitors going \o i|in| from them every day. Most of these were not satisfied until they bad panned out a shovelful of sand, the "old-timers" out of curiosity to see what the »»dirt" oontained, and the"ten- derfeet', to learn how it was dono. tiome of the results showed remarkably well, and their being displayed on tha street tended to prevent tbe interest from flagging. A deal is now on foot to have machinery put in on some of thB claimB to extract the gold, aod judging from the results already obtained gold machines on the bar should prove very profitable. It has been piactically demonstrated that some of these machines will pay where there is only 50 cents in gold to the yard of earth, ar.d where 82.00 per yard is found the profits would be proportionately larger: CITY LEGISLATORS. Meet, Transact Consider-aum; Business AFIj ADJO URN . The regular eoseioq of the city council'was hold yesterday afternoon at l;.'i0 in the club room. Tne ihayor being absen', Dr. Hepworth took the chair. 8, F. Hepv.'orth's bill of S'30 for services as city tonstaible was referred to the linanco copimittee, as was also tho account of Munly tip AVerill foi* 135.' The finance committee aleo presented tho accotirit of City jtlnginoet" Featherston for &' for two and one-half days employment in fixing tho grade and making a profilo'of Bridge street and Riversido avenue. ThiB account thy finance committee considered was too much and they recommended the payment of f'23, ining at the rate of §10 per day. Alderman Jj. A. Manly, on behalf of the committee of public works, recommended that Jos&ph L. Wiseman be instructed to prepare a plan showing the woodwork required to be done* on the slough on bridge street. This recommendation was accepted and the clerk was instructed to seo Mr. Wiseman at once in relation thereto. It was then ordered, on motion of L. A. Manly, tb^it in cijllitjg for tefldeps for the filling in the slough, on Bridge stroet, that the dirt be taken from the cut on Main street for making the fill.' The matter of appointing a city constable was then taken up. Thers six applicants fqr the ofiice and tbo first ballot resulted as follows: Maurico O'Connor 2, Alex. Olson 1, Arthur 'Mil- thorp 1,C. E. Lambert 2. Messrs. O'Connor and Lambert having received the highest number of votes the other four names were droppod and a second ballot was taken, an 1 Lambert walked awiy with the "cake," b'W'-g 'succeeded in securing' four of the six votes cast. Theffe being noother business to transact the council adjourned to m*t n^xt Friday at 1:30 p. m. A Special Meeting. A special session of the city coucci) was held last Tuesdiy, all the council except the mayor and W. K. C. Manly being present. D.*. Ilepworth acted as chairman and J. K. Johnson as secretary, the city clork being absent. It was moved by L. A. Manly, seconded by Da'viB tbat the resignation of City Constable (-j. F. Hepworth, be accepted. The matter of appointing a temporary conBtablo to act until tho regular meeting of the council was then taken' up and after considerable discussion L. 4. Manly moved that James Seales act |n that capacity until Friday, when the next regular meeting .vould he held: seconded by Johnson and unanimously carried. . The council then adjotjrnod until Friday afternoon A SOCIAL DANCE. An Enjoyable Affair IJeld in Victoria Hall. 4 social dance was held last evening in Victoria hall, having been arranged by a number of the Grand Forks yoqng people with J. E. Ke'ly as prime move r. The attendance was light but the discrepancy in this respect was more than counter-balanced by tho enthusiasm of those who were present, Tbe affair waB hiirridly gqttqn up anc) not well advertised, which accounts for the fact that not more thon twelve couples attended. 4 most enjoyable time was participated ih however, and it is pronounced by those who attended, to be, socially, a great success. It is underBtoot} that arrangements aro being made to have a series of I< riday night dances in Victoria hall, and if such arrangements are made, they will add greatly to the social pleasures of the city.

HERE AND GREENWOOD, Tenders Will Be Opened August 6 at Vernon By Leonard Horns* Grand Porl:** Gets Two ■ .■ ' Build'ngs. In this issue of tho Mixer may ho found a call for tenders tor constructing provincial government offices in this city and a lockup at Greenwood. Tho tenders will be recoived by Leonard Morris, Assistant Commissioner of Lands and Works, at Vernon, up to Friday, August fith. Each tender for the offices at Grand Forks must be accompanied by an ac.ceptod bank check for $200, and each tender for the Greenwood lock-up by an accepted check for 8100. This is in accordance with the rule adopted by the Lands and Works Department. Plans and specifications may be seen and form of tender secur- eel'at tho government offices at Osoyoos and Midway, the'provincial police oln:e, (jt-eenwood, the Mining Recorder's office at Grarid Forks, and at Mr. Norris' office, Vern in. Commenting upon this call for tenders the yancohyer World says; "It will be retriooibered that at the session of the legislature just closed, J.he estimate contained sums of monoy for "tho erection of these buildings, which are urgontly needed in view of the growth of theso places and their future importance." The buildings to bo erected in this city are $ recorders office and a school house, the former to be built on bloclf 2(1, which the townsite company deeded to the government for this purpose, while the latter will be plnC3d on the bench ih the western part of tho citj, so as to be convenient for both residents of the city and Upper Orand Forks. The recorders oflice will be bo constructed as to be used for holding court. The construction of five government building3 here is contemplated. Tho jail js already built, tho school house and recorders office will be constructed next month and there will be a government office and custom house to bo built. LEFT IN TH^ LURCH. Hardships Caused a Tenderfoot hy a Heartless Cayuse. 4 tenderfoot went IJBhing the other day and rq le a cayuse sq he would have an easy trip home after the exertion of inducing the festive trout to come out on the bank and be caught. He tied the cayuse to a treo and as soon as he was out of sight the conscienceless animal slipped its rope and came home. When the tenderfoot repaired, foot- BOfe and weary, to where the horse shoud be, thinking of the rostful canter that would bear him over the six miles of trail to the city, he found tho place deserted and not even a note remaining —not one good-bye. So ho had to full bis belt np a couple of qflfobes, shoulder the saddle and sad- dlo blanket, 30 feet of threequartor-inch ropo, bridle, fishing rod and basket of fish, and whistling softly to himself "Oh, Who Will Care For My Mothor-in- Law," Bhulllo uneasily along over the trail toward homo. Moral—When you leave a payuso alone by bin)self always stay npar him and seo that ho don't s|ip his moorings, A FIENDISH ACT, Death of a Valuable Bull Belonging tq W. H. Covert. One of tho most dastardly acts imaginable was the killing of W. II. Covert's thoroughbred bull last week. The.animal was a very valuable one and was highly prized by its owner. On Thursday afternoon it broke out of its pasture and on Friday afternoon its carcass was found by Louis V. Cuppage. Some miscreant had castrated the bull aud turned hiin out to bleed to death. Anything more devilish than this method of dealing with an animal were hard to imagine, and if tho miscreant who perpetrated the deed is apprehended it will go haid with him. Provincial Constable Dinsmore has taken steps to secure him, and it is hoped that they will be successful. ALL " {SORTS OF NEWS Harvesting will commence iu earnest tie™? week, R, W.

Denn|s Clark passsd through town lust week on his way to Spokano from Eureka camp on tho reservation, and stopped over night at tho Cosmos. Mr. Clark is very enthuaetic over tho possibilities of Eureka becoming the greatest mining camp in the upper country. O. A. Jones hao just returned from Spokane tyhero ho has been for the past week. During his absence ho says he hss been instrumental in organizing a Btock company which has for its chief objects the developing of the Ajax claim at'Christinalake. F. J. Watson, secretary and treasurer of the Agricultural and Trader'sAssoeia- tion of Okanogan Mission, was in the city this week perfecting arrangements to have a collection of Grand Forks' mineral productions sent to Kelowna for tho exhibition to ho held next September. A Colorado syndicate is said to bo negotiating for tha purchase of tne famous Humming Bird miue pp tho North Pork. This claim is ownei} hy the O'Connor Brother**, who are largely interested in that locality. The Humming Bird is situate! cine miles from Qrand Forks and right in the mineral belt, and assays recently made run all the way from $28 to S80 in all values. The sale of this property to parties who could develop it would bo a big stride toward opening up this section. Be sure and atop at Edwards' ferry for good meals and clean bed. HAD TO DIG UP. Th-: Trades License Bylaw Gets in Its Deadly Work. City Treasurer McCaren has had the pleasant task today of explaining to the buBincsB mon of the city lho provisions of the trades license by-law, and accompanying this explanation with a requost fer thorn to produco f~ in exchange fqr a slip of paper from his little book, containing a nico picture of two men, one with a pick and tho other pushing an ore car. Tnis is the official trademark of the city. Mr. McCarren ran against somo peculiar propositions in the course of the day, and there are other kinds of work that he would rather do in preference to collecting liconso money. When ho approached Sam, the pugilietically inclined Chinaman who runs a laundry on Riverside, the heathen thought it was a joke and flared up pieparrtory to thrashing tl e city treasurer, but the official finally succeeded in demonstrating to him that it w;y eithol* a case of pay or quit the business, bo Sam promised that the money would bo forthcoming on Monday. Tnere was plenty ot kicking about paying the $5 for a six- month's permit to rustu. to keep alivo, but only one absolute refusal to comply with the bylaw's pro* sions was encountered and this protest wls filed by J.
