uINlNe SUMMARY.
NABOB.

adjoining the Senate property, nea
that place. The mine is the prop
erty of Mr.. Bowman, who ha
worked assiduously for severa
years past in the endeavor to max.
it saleable property, The ground
is now well developed and gooc
ore bodies are exposed in a humble,
of places. Harry has come to the
conclusion that he can make more
out of the mine by working it thar
letting it go at low figure and
will soon begin to extract ore. The
Nabob is considered one of the best
showings in that part of the coun-
try and would be an admirable
piece of mining ground for com.
pany with sufficient capital to avail
itself of such advantages in carry
ing on the work as are beyond the
means of the present owner.
B. X. Boone is doing some devel-
opment work on his group of claims
between Trail creek and Lake creek.
Lew Baker has three men en-
ployed on the Bluebird mine near
Sawtooth.
F. M. Wilmorth brought down
several tons of Josie ore from Ga
lena which he marketed here last
Tuesday.
The Ketchum Sampling Works
are constantly kept busy on the
output of the various small mines
of the surrounding country.
The Alturs Gold { Limited) COM
pany is having a stormy time over
the management. 1t seems that the
trouble dates back to the time that
Capt. Eddy came from London as
superintendent of the company.
Messrs. Morrison & Pearsons, who
are operating the Washington mine
and mill at Bonanza, are running
along successfully and will shortly
make another bullion shipment of
six or eight thousand dollars. They
are endeavoring to secure express
rates for regular shipments to the
First National Bank at this place.
The Portland Reduction Works
will probably resume operations in
a very few days. The First National
Bank of this place is making up a
shipment OF ore to go to those
works.
The Vio.a Smelling Works, at
Idaho, offer SIC rate on
dry ores delivered at Camas sta
ton on the Utah & Northern. Such
a proposition on Wood River would
create q lively revolution in the
industry of this locality.
Hundreds of prospects and mining
claims in this country are now lying
dormant for want of just such a
rate. There are immense deposits
of low grade dry ores in Alturas
county that are worthless under
the stringency of existing tariffs and
the want of large capital to erect
suitable machinery for their reduc-
ton, that will some day bring this
region to the front rank of mining
industry and make an output for
Idaho that will astonish the world.
Challis Messenger; We under
stand that Morrison Il Pearsons are
going to have some ore extracted
rom the Yellow Jacket mines with
he intention of testing it in their
Jordan creek, Yankee Fork, mill.
f the test is successful, they will, |
start these properties up

les caused considerable talk at one
ime, but nothing has been done

CHur d'Alene Sun; The Bunker
ill and Sullivan mines, in the
eur d 'Alene country, are shipping
either ore nor concentrates at
resent. The mines are still being
orked, and are said to be looking
