1t costs something TO commit suieide
in Idaho. The expenses incurred from
the time that Il. n. Lillienthal was found
dead until his remains reached the rail
road amounted TO over $500. The cost
OF the stage company alone, for taking
the body from Boise City to the railroad
was $3.50.
There are 700 men now in the country
between the Crow Agency and Fort
Pease. The region is magnificent one
for trapping and hunting, and with the
Yellowstone Fur Company established at
the Fort as q market for the hunters,
promises TO yield rs large a number of
peltries as any district in the Northwest.
The Belcher and Crown Point Mining
Companies have agreed to join forces in
sinking a large air shaft-to be used
both as an air and pumping shaft. A
very powerful condensing engine, and
pumping machinery of the largest capa-
city will be set up at once. The daily
yield OF the two mines at present is S65
tons of ore.
The San Francisco Stock Exchange
says: The cost of reducing ore by the
so-called Fryer process will be about So
per ton. Quicksilver and pans, with the
necessary power to run them, will not
be needed. Ore will be worked at once,
saving nearly all the precious metals in
it, Twelve hours time will be con-
sumed in working charge of ore. Con-
centrating sulphurets and the chlorinat-
ing process will be done away with.
The Commissioner General of the
Land Office has made the following de-
cision: "An incorporated association Of
citizens owning separate and distinct in
terests in placer mine may unite their
means and expend the $500 required by
law and thereafter secure patent from
the United States. Locators of mining
claims have tho exclusive right Of pos
session to the surface embraced in their
claims and the timber growing thereon in
compliance with the United States and
local laws"
