Pine Grove people are highly
pleased with the new heading Of
the Mountain Home Bulletin and
the enlargement Of the paper and
think it the newsiest and best pub
lished sheet Of any in Idaho. 1t is
always ON time with latest local
news.
The coming boom for Pine Grove
camp is gradually and steadily in
creasing, and all who are interested
in mining properties are pushing
development work as fast as posi-
BILE.
l wish to say few words con-
corning the mines on the east side
of the river, as they are as worthy
Of note to capitalists and mining
men Of expericnc as any on the OPP
posite side. l have lately seen sew
eral of the claims there, the veins
ranging in width from 20 inches to
10 feet, and find the ore in charac-
ter the same as all other surround
ing camps-free milling and high
grade. Some of it carries consld-
cradle iron. This. however, is no
detriment, as strong hemetite iron
cropping is considered the best pos
sible indication of permanency and
value in gold ledge, and the heavy
clay seams contained in them is
another sure indication of pcrma-
nency. Picked rock assaying as
high as $500 in gold is found. Geo.
Winder had few hundred pounds
Of ore shipped from the Mountain
View claim to the San Francisco
sampling works that resulted VI 900
per ton in gold.
The following is list of several
of the claims on which considerable
development work has been done
and showing very encouragingly to
their owners: The Curlew, East
Side, Mountain View, Buckhorn,
Deer Creek, Amazon, Badger, Ava
lanche, Minnesota, Tariff, Benedina,
Teacup, Maud Fox and the Little
Brown jug. Several of these claims
have shafts sunk to depth of 10
to 20 feet and tunnels in on the vein
rs to 40 feet, exposing large bodies
Of rich ore. The above named prop
critics are owned by the following
gentlemen-I will not designate
name to each claim: George Winder
Fred Pau, w. H. McKim, Johr
Van Shack, Gid Campbell, Aug
Outflow, John Hardin, Henry Hes
ford, r. Patterson, John Donohue
Hugh Flood, VIM. Gaikovski, Johr
Peters, r. p. Chattin, Torrance Gil
lies, J. b. Kincaid, J. H. Gray, VIM
Gibbons.
| About SO tons of high-grade orr
are on the dumps of the Teacup ant
Maud Fox, owned by kincaid, Gray
and Gibbons, who are thorough, ex
perienced mining men and are push
ing development work with grea
vigor. They will have ore WORKED
as soon as Pfau's mill is in opera
ton. Several tons of $500 to 500
ore are on the dumps of the Noun
tain view, Badger and Minnesota
ready for milling. Fred will fine
that the capacity of his 5-staml
mill will not be enough for the Eas
Side.
l do not wish to make this repor
too lengthy; however l have grea
faith in the new camp. If expert
enced men of unimpeachable integ
rity and high business standing
after careful examination and du
consideration of all the points bear
ing upon mining, decide to purchas
and develope a mining property
there can be no safer investment 0
money if opportunity is presented t
share the benefit of their judgmen
and experience, than here. Pin
Grove gives promise of a record tina
will be difficult to equal and on
that must be satisfactory to all con
cerned.
The Pine Grove Gold Mining Co.
of st. Louis, is to be congratulated
on securing SO valuable a property
Seldom has there been presented
combination possessing SO many o
the elements that insure success il
the direction of most gratifying re
turns for the money invested.
The river will furnish power t.
to run any number of stamps tina
may be desired and can be uset
winter and summer. The camp i
one of the most beautiful, as re
, CARDS situation for cheap mining
and milling, including as fine
climate as any one could wish for
and this with the wonderful ricl
ore will make it in few years tn
greatest mining camp in Idaho,
not in all the Western country. A.
