THERE are prospect holes sunk on every
creek, bank and bar, and in every gulch
all over the country. A great majority of
these are the labor of years ago, when men
in search Of placers would not stop to
work anything short Of two or three ounce
diggings. Prospectors Of the present day
pass over the ground containing these
holes, under the impression that, having
been prospccted, there is nothing beneath
worth digging for. The frequent rich pie
ces of ground recently discovered prove
this idea to be erroneous. In prospecting
do not be restrained from sinking holes by
the presence of excavations previously
made, but 60 down and examine for your

THERE is q greater feeling Of confidence
in the minds Of the people in relation to
the mineral wealth Of the county than ex-
listed at this time one year ago. We have
heard several business men, who, but a lit
tie while ago, spoke disparagingly Of the
future prospects Of the camp, now express
themselves as perfectly satisfied that in two
or three years hence the Basin will be re-
garded in point of extent and wealth, as
second to no mining district to be found
anywhere in the country. The splendid
clean-ups of the mills, mills in contempla-
ton, and those under process of erection,
the recent numerous and rich discoveries
of quartz and placer mines, have combined
to bring about this revulsion in the public
mind. Days of darkness are incidental to
the history of all mining camps, partic-
ularly where placer mining was engaged
in before the quartz interest was developed
or even thought of. With the working out
of what was supposed to be the cream OF
the placer diggings, and the departure Of
the surplus population, came the depres-
sion-the decadence-of the camp. Then a
few enterprising men turned their atten-
ton to the development of the quartz in
terest, though without much hope of sue
cess, for at that time it was venture con-
sidered as unsafe. Slowly and cautiously
they felt their way along for several years,
until now it is just becoming known that
the Basin is properly quartz camp, and
one that will eventually prove all that the
most sanguine now predict for it; and
whether another lick is ever struck again
in placer mining, will not in the least af-
feet the future prosperity of Boise county.
Placer diggings are discovered, worked out
and almost forgotten in day, while quartz
mines require years to even develop them.
The hour of depression has come and gone,
and another and Il brighter is dawning. A
new era has commenced for Boise county.
THAT DoRG.-Mr. John Lewis, of the
n. w. S. Co.'S stables, was presented
with dog the other day. In order
to make the animal feel more at home,
John tied him up in his room, and hav.
ing business down town, came off and
left him there alone. lie also left a
window hoisted. Returning shortly,
the dog was discovered dangling from
the window outside and dead, very
dead. The rope was just long enough
to allow the dog to hang com
fortably without soling his hind feet
in the dust. Had John practiccd two
weeks he couldn't have got the length
of that rope gauycd to greater nice
tv. 1t was either an accident or a
genuine canine suicide, however, fol
