Interesting Items in Relation to PrOm1s-
ing Camps.
A Junction, Idaho, correspondent of the
Eagle Rock Register, says they have been
in a state of considerable excitement, ow
ing to the discovery Of large mineral belt
seven or eight miles north of town. There
are heavy groupings of iron oxide, some
good lead carbonates, and on claim owned
by Messrs. Brown and Humphries some
high grade mineral, assaying very WE'LL
MANY claims are staked of, but so far in
sufficient work has been done to prove the
camp, but the prospects are bright
John Clark and Cap. Fowler some time
back struck the "Kansas City, lode just
below and southerly from the --latest Out"
mine in the Texas district. Cap. Fowler
sold his interest to Mr. Cole, and the own
ers are energetically engaged in developing
what promises to be an excellent and val
liable property. Messrs. Clough and Rams
den are developing their various claims in
Texas, and have, in the opinion of the
many who have seen it, struck veritable
bonanza in the "Senator." They sank this
claim through soft ledge matter 45 feet
without particle of ore but we'll defined
vein; at ~ feet they struck rich mineral,
which has increased in grade and quantity
ever since. The vein is we'll defined con-
tact, feet and 6 inches between walls at
S feet in depth, and assays, all the way
across from foot to hanging wall, 49,
ounces silver. Much Of the ore contains
finely disseminated silver glance and as
says within fraction Of 500 ounces silver
per ton. The vein is soft and strong, and
there is every evidence of permanency.
It is the intention Of the owners to attain
a considerable depth on the Senator this
fall. The Grouse, owned by Messrs. Year
ian, Purcell and Tanning, Joins the Sena-
tor on the north, and the description of the
latter applies equally well to the former.
The Jumbo is being worked by Messrs.
Sherry and Brooks, and shows marked
improvement, the mineral and ledge matter
having become much softer. Mr.. L. w.
Phelan discovered and located the Bobtail,
not very distant from the Ainslie, and for
a surface showing it is exceptionally fine,
carrying both galena and carbonate in
fine, soft gang Of iron oxide with foot
wall u l,urph ,,,a1iging wall notyet
defined 1t is the intention of the owners,
MIR. Phelan and Mr.. Brooks, to sink on it
this year, and from present indications it is
we'll worth it. The Carrie Cody, the Ortie,
the Maryland, and many other claims in
Texas are being worked this season and are
showing up finely.
OF the excellence of this camp there can
exist no reasonable doubt, and the noun
tains bounding this valley are destined to
rank second to none as to production of
lead, silver, and copper. Through the in
strumentality of Mr.. E. Johnson and the
cooperation of citizens of Lemhi county.
it seems now that there will be concentrat-
ing works in Texas within two months Of
the present writing. Mr.. ]. is now at the
R. R. making the necessary arrangements
Mr.. E. A. Stone, merchant in Junction,
is not exempt from the prevailing epidemic
Of quartzomania, and has not only pur-
chased half interest in one of the finest
looking claims on Uhlig Hill, the Jefferson,
from Charley Lee, but has 1900 feet of
quartz staked in the new district above
