ECHOES FROM .HoGEM.r
PIoNEERvILLL, May 81, 1881.

FIONEERvILLE, May IL, 1881.
Ed. WoRLD:-Thinking that per-
haps few lines from the classic
shades Of "Hogem" would be relished,
I write this letter, or more properly a
death notice, for "Hogem" is quietly
sliding from the face Of the earth, and
it will not be long before this once
great commercial centre of Idaho will
be 2 thing of the past. We have no
postoffice, no nothing but a sa-
loon and butcher shop. Our mail
comes at rare intervals, and a good
deal of it, through carelessness some
where. never reaches us at all. There
is very little mining going on here this
spring, and consequently but few men
are employed, the working Of placers
being "Hogem's" only industry. Hon.
Ben Wilson has two claims running
one on Muddy and the other on Or.
leans Bar. Stevenson & Mobiles
claims, which have been leased by
Cinnamon, are running night and day
There is an abundance of water here,
and all that is lacking to make "Hog-
EN-" get up and hustle is plenty Of good
lpay dirt. Ten or twelve claims are
running at Centerville, six of which
belong to Mr.. Wilson. "Hogem's'
huckleberry veterans, Col. Geo. Stat.
ford and Capt. Matt Davis, report the
crop this year complete failure and
they are consequently down in the
mouth. The Colonel and Captain
were contemplating grand campaign
this summer.
Wilson & Whitney are working
their quartz mine at Summit Flat, and
are doing very well. Mr.. Michael
sons farm looks splendid and he will
have fine crop of hay this year, al
least that is the opinion of I.X.L.

Both political parties selected their
delegates to the County Convention

The Custer mill is now turning out.
on an average, $4,450 per day. One
hundred and seventy-eight thousand
dollars was shipped by pack-traiu a

Everything is quiet here. although
the mines arc developing wonderfully.
Joe Galatian, one of the owners OF
the Whale, ON Mount Estes, was in
town yesterday. He says it is look

The Badger, on Custer Mountain, is

mines on the Yankee Fork.

feet south of the foot-wall in the

GENTLY penetrated yet to give any
idea of its extent. A good deal of the
ore found in it 40 far goes az high as
$4,000 per ton. which is pretty good.
The mine is still holding its own, il
not improving some in the face of the
main tunnel, which is now in nearly
900 feet. If l was to give an exact
account of the immense richness OF
the mine, with figures, your readers

day, and find it to be the greatest sur
face showing ever made in Banner
district. Mr.. Irwin has stripped the
ledge for twenty-five feet in length,
and exposes to view four-foot vein
of solid pay ore of very high grade.
One feature about the vein which we
have never noticed in any other, is
that it has one foot of very rich chic
ride cropping out on the foot wall.
A crosscut is being run from the end
Of the old tunnel to the north, which
will cut the ledge 100 feet in depth
on the hanging wall. There is ledge
of porphyry twenty-five feet wide.

The FOREST King boys have run 4
cross-cut from the face Of their tunnel,
on the hanging wall, and struck an
other rich pay streak forty feet from
the tunnel. The pay seam has not yet
been crossed, nor has the foot wall
been reached, SO the extent Of this re-
cent strike is not yet known, nor the
distance between the walls. A cross
cut was run from the tunnel, about
SIXTY feet east Of the one re-
Gently run, and the foot-walI was
reached BY running twenty-five feet.
The ledge has widened eighteen feet,

filed in with lime, making it fire-proof,
and for neatness and durability it is
the boss.

England and Germany occupy the most

at the International Electrical EXlibi-
ton. Next in order i'm size come Belgium and
America. Correspondents state that France
seems to have best realized the scientific aud
commercial importance of the exhibition. but OF
course she has a great advantage i'm not having
to bring her exhibits from distance and from the
energetic manner in which the government tel
egraph department and the ministers Of war and
OF marine have co-operatcd. Among the private
exhibits which created the most interest i'm the
French department are Trouye's electrical
boats and Faures electrical accumulation by
which electricity may he stored. The German
department is not much more advanced than
the American. notwithstanding the former did
not have TO encounter the delays of a long sea
| transit. The Americans complain much of the
fearful unreliability of French workmen who
seem to have no idea of the value of time. Mr..
Edsons agent intends. if possible. to obtain the
loan of wires connecting the French section
with the Theatre Francois and the Opera. He
claims that he will be able to make performances
audible to a large audience by telephone. The
German section is principally devoted to the APP
plication of electricity to military and scholastic
purposes. The English government exhibits are
principally of historical interest and consist OF
all instruments used since 1897
