CONCLUSION
Some people will think this q queer way to adj
vertlsc; others no doubt will think it is paid for
by the customer. I shall endeavor to prove to all
that it is legitimate from first to last. In the
llrst place to make my establishment popular
nave every season been giving away Souvenirs,
at great expense. which We're of little value to
any one. This season the thought struck ME, to
issue 900 tickets, and give 4 ticket to each
purchase Of FIVE DOLLARS, when the 1000
tickets have been given away, to have Grand
Drawing. So the persons holding the lucky num-
oers, will be the possessors of handsome prizes.

The Philadelphia smelter.


The new furnaces at the Philadel-
phia smelters have capacity Of so
tons each, instead Of forty tons. as
many Of the newspapers have seemed
to suppose, thus making total capaci-
ty of $50 tons instead Of l6O tons
daily. They now stand complete, with
the exception Of few details, and are
being dried out preparatory to receiy.
the blast, which will occur within one
week. They are accompanied with
every Improvement possible and stand
as model types Of smelters. The ma
chinery in other parts Of the mill is
complete in every detail, and the nee
essary additions for the increased ca
pacity, such as workmen, fuel, &c.,
have been secured. The ore receipts
have preceptibly increased during the
past two weeks, and an increased
quantity has accumulated in the new
main buildings and ore platform recent
ly built to accommodate the surplus
from regular bins. 1t now continues
to arrive at the rate of about sixty tons
daily, exclusively of ores from the
Conklin sampling works. The rate of
| II II
tity on hand, will be seen as quite suf-
ficient to supply the full capacity
henceforth, growing patronage not
considered. The chief supply contn-
ues to come from the Elkhorn mine,
which ships from 10 to 80 tons daily,
while the Ontario is making its appear
ance among the first shippers, and will
probably send in 600 or 700 tons dur
ing the season.
The bullion shipments from the old
furnaces continue at a lively rate and
amount to 100 tons in the past four
days. The daily output has increas-
ed somewhat and now averages
about sixteen tons, over 800 bars. An
additional car load of coke has been
ordered to accommodate the new fur
naces, and this, together with a gen.
eral increase in ore shipments will
greatly increase the teaming business
hereabouts.

Hon. G. w. CRAFTS received a let
ter short time ago from his son Ny
ron, at work for the Custer company.
The Custer mill is now doing custom
work. Thirty tons of ore from the
Badger was crushed few weeks ago,
and twenty tons from the Montana.
The latter milled $500 per ton-silver
and gold in equal amounts The
Charles Dickens and Whale will each
soon have a crushing made. They
are both first-class mines. ASSAYS of
ore from the Whale run as high as
1900 per ton. This is the highest
grade. Those acquainted with the
mine are of the opinion that the ore
to be milled will run as high as $500
per ton. There is large pile of low
grade ore at the Montana mine that
will be put through the Custer mill.
The high grade ore of this mine has
heretofore been shipped, while the low
grade has been piled on the dump, and
none of it (the low grade) has yet
been crushed.

HE Custer mine has turned out
over 100000 worth of bullion since
the mill was erected, between two and
three years ago. The company has
made about $4,000, 900, clear of all ex-
penses, including cost of mill and put
ting it up. The Unknown mine, an
extension of the Custer, is owned by
the same company. No ore from this
mine has yet been crushed, athoue h
it is thought to be as good a property
as the Custer. The latter turned out
rock faster than the mill could crush it.
and this is probably the reason the
company has not gone to work on the
former.

TALK about Boise county being
thoroughly prospectedl Why, dang
it," it hasn't hardly commenced to be
prospected-hasn't much more than
been run over. The Homestake mine,
discovered by James Irwin last fall,
crops out eight or ten feet in one place,
and the groupings can be traced for
hundreds of feet-the location is on
the side of the only bare, mountain in
that section-just the place pros
pector would naturally make for to
look for groupings or foat-and we
will venture to say that hundreds of
men have walked right square around
the groupings to avoid climbing over
'em-and not piece of rock ever
broken off till last fall. Thoroughly
prospected? Well. we should say not.

Liable, a Frenchman, who came
through several days ago from Sheep
Mountain, was robbed of all his grub
between there and Payette. The rob-
Der was bear, one Of the "bald-faced''
species, somewhat resembling a griz-
ely. Mr.. Liable was sitting by the
campfire Que night and he heard what
sounded like the tread of muffled feet
approaching. He looked up, and there
ne saw the bear Waiting right into
camp. There was nothing mean about
Mr.. Liable. He polkaed away from
there to fast music, and gave the bear
full possession. Mr.. BALD faceo went
tor the grub and Mr.. Liable went for
clump Of bushes near by-sald he
was too badly excited to climb tree.
What grub the bear did not eat or
pack away he scattered right and left.
He gave the -four sack a. spat or two
and scattered -four all over the camp
ground. The Frenchman started out
with big supply Of grub, but when
Mr.. "Bald face" bid him adieu he had
nothing He would have gone hungry
had he not fallen in with prospector
on the route. Mr.. Liable says he nev.
er believed before that bear was a
bad animal.
