SAWTOOTH.
A Very Promising Section Of the Terri.
tory-The Need Of a Cheap Process for
Working Its Ores.

Probably the richest and at the
same time the least known section of
Idaho Territory, is the Sawtooth re.
gion. The Silver King and Vienna
are among the most prominent mines
there, and they have not been fairly
opened up as yet. 1t is true, they
have been worked for years, but with
every foot of depth gained there is a
noticeable increase, both in richness
and quantity OF the ore.
Near Sawtooth, in particular, there
are also many promising prospects,
that only need the investment of a
little patient labor to place them
among the prominent reproducing
mines Of the country. The extent of
these mineral veins is not known, as
not one of them has been exploited.
The Pilgrim which ranks with the
best, and has received the most at
tention, is at the present time as good
a property as may be found east of
the Sawtooth range. And the prob.
lem Of its real extent will probablyre.
main unsolved for years to come-at
least, at the present rate of develop
ment.
The great drawback to this whole
region is the lack of a cheap process
of reducing the ores. Men may be
found there by the dozen who are
mine poor. They have several very
promising claims, which keep them
busy during the season on assessment
work; and as the cost of working their
small lots OF ore is so great, and there
is no sale for small quantities, they
naturally lack the heart to induce
their friends to invest an extra dollar
in the country. That is the standing
of the Sawtooth country to-day. There
is no lack of mills, but the mill pro-
cess is too expensive. Every pros
pector in the country could furnish
from 20 to SO tons of rock at week
notice, but the mills there don't
want it.
Let the mine owners be patient for
another year or so, and they will find
it worth their while. Or, again, let
the miners form a company and put
in a Wiswell mill for themselves.

Davis's hacker left this morning for
Shoshone, with Reese, the "Mormon
Boy" of Logan, Utah, for the pur'
pose of working up race in that
town against either Iibbetts or Davis.
The latter is said to feel that he has
not been treated right, and this morn
ing he as good as told Henry Swift
that he tad his money guaranteed last
Saturday before he run. Certain it
is that he seems to have plenty OF
money, and he refused a steady job OF
work, saying that he was not going to
come down to hard work yet awhile.

TIE GAME OF BASE BALL.
" came Near Ending In q Row-Two
Versions Of the DISPUTE.

sVuS u the DlSp0tos
A part Of a match game of base
ball was played on the damon in thi,
city yesterday between the first and
secord mines of the Wood River Bas.
Ball Club. Walter Hodgman was
chosen umpire, but his decisions failed
to give satisfaction to the first nine.
who finally refused to continue the
game unless one of his decisions
was reversed. The dispute, as stated
10 ZINES reporter, occurred in this
way: Henry Swift, of the second
nine, made two bases on passed ball,
contrary to the custom at this or pre.
cedlng games here. TO this the first
nine objected, and Mr.. Swift was Or
oered back to first base. In getting
there he crossed the diamond, instead
OF touching the second base. For
this ne was claimed to be "out." &C.
cord'ng to the rules. The umpire re-
fused to put him out, and said that
II the first nine insisted that he was
out, he 1.-THE umpire) would give him
back his second base; if, on the other
hand, the first nine did not demand
that Mr.. Swift be put out, he would
send him back to first base. This
failed to satisfy the first nine, who in.
sisted upon strict application of the
rules, and the umpire refusing to con.
cede the point, the game broke up.
The following communication bear.
ing upon the matter has been re-
ceived:
HALEY, l. T., Sept. 8, 1885.
To THE EDITOR OF TIE TINES:
In the game of base ball, Yesterday,
between the first and second mines,
the bet 1875 aside was held by Coffin,
OF the first nine, and Hodgman of the
second nine. On the 9TH innings a
dispute came up and the umpire
settled it and the club went on to
play, and on the end of the seventh
innings the score stood ~ to Is in
favor OF the second nine. Coffin then
said he would not give up the money.
1t is not the frat Tina +h.% u I,
Coffin went back on his word, but
he will not have another chance to
do so with the second nine of HALEY.

THE SNAKE RIVER PLACERS.
They Will Soon Give Steady Employ
Ment to Thousands Of Miners.

Me"t ~ SnOuS4nOS Oh MluerSs
Ex-County Recorder c. B. Fox has
returned from the Snake river place,
fields. He reports great activity all
along the river, but especially along
the bar between the upper and lower
Salmon falls.
On this bar about 100 men are now
at work, OF which about GO are work.
ing for . New York company Of
which Mr.. Blanchard, Of the Erie
Railway, is one of the leading spirits.
This company has over two miles of
Auming and ditching, the ditch carry
ing 5000 miners inches Of water. l,
is working three machines, which,
yield from SIS to $50 per day. This
year the company is only experiment.
ing on a practical working scale; but
next year it will conduct extensi, Q
operations and start out in the spring
with at least six machines.
On Mr.. Fox's claim the survey is
made for two-mile ditch which will
be completed by Christmas. The
claim will then be put in shape for
active operations in the spring, as
soon as the weather permits. Mr..
Fox has been year and q half get
ting this property in shape to pro-
duce, and he expects to make it by
next summer.
The Salmon Falls bar, Mr.. Fox
believes, will next year give steady
employment to several hundred pla-
Ger miners, and the placers along the
Snake must in time furnish profitable
employment to thousands upon
thousands.
The trouble with this region here.
tofore has been the lack of a cheap
method of saving the gold. This
method they now undoubtedly have.

A Valuable Development.

Rumors Of a rich strike in the Ca
mas No.. 2 mine, on the gold belt, are
rife. Reports are to the effect that a
three. foot vein Of ore was cut into in
the lower tunnel that shows 70 cents
worth of gold to the pan. This kind
Of ore must 90 all of $1,000 per ton.
If there IS any quantity Of it, 1t is a
very valuable development.
