A NEW ERA ON WOOD RIVER.

TO the same thing, in this case) of the
idahoan mine by the Alturas syndi
cate Of English capitalists, will mark
a new era on Wood River. Such
powerful organization as this will not
rest content with one "lead' property.
Having touched that class of mines at
all, it will not stop with one purchase
but doubtless stand ready to take hold
of any promising mine which may be
offered in this visinity at reasonable
figures. This will greatly stimulate
claim. owners, who will know that if
they cannot secure the capital to
properly develop their properties, they
can at least sell them for something
like their actual value; and this will
inspire other capitalists with conf.
dence in our region, and lead them to
invest here.
