soiu out MS placer interests and wat
er rightsa short time ago, and left
yesterday for San Francisco to en-
deavor to make sales of a number of
BOISE county's best gold mines. From
San Francisco Paul will go to France,
with two purposes in view, the most
important to Paul personally, being
business IN connection with will,
he being the principal heir. His
aunt, aged SG years, owns magnif-
cent estate, the greater portion of
which, at her death, will fall to Paul.
This estate, when he left Paris forty
years ago, was valued at half mil
lion, and has been increasing in value
ever since. What the exact value
now is he does not know. IL he does
not succeed in San Francisco in in
teresting capitalists in the mines he
has secured to sell, he will brace up
feminist the capitalists of Paris. and
stalk French to them, and tell of
the wealth of Boise county, and the
valuable veins he has for sale. Paul
owns interests in three of the mines,
and he has written agreements from
the owners of others that they will
sell at certain figures whenever he is
ready to put up the cash. Following
are the mines, with short descrip-
ton of each, and the figures of the
agreement mentioned. Every miner
acquainted with these properties will
agree with us that no one in Boise
county ever secured so good layout
en- such reasonable terms. The own
ers are not capitalists, and therefore
cannot go ahead and work their prop
critics, and are willing to sell at pric-
es below what is actually in sight in
the mines: The Revenue, quarter
of mile below the Oro Fino, and a
mile or more below the famous Elk
horn mine, has been prospected for a
distance of three hundred feet on top,
and carries pay all the way. A tun-
mel run in IS feet tapped the ledge at
the depth of so feet. The ore is good
and the vein Is inches wide. Another
tunnel has been run 300 feet, and will
have to be extended $50 feet further
to get to pay. VIM. Sweet agrees to
sell this mine for $4,000. He esti-
mates that the ore in sight will turn
out $4,000. The Oro Fino was re-
Gently tapped at the depth of l5C
feet with 800 #. tunnel. The vein
is ten feet wide, with four feet of pay
ore, which is now being worked with
an arastra at profit. Another tun
mel has been run 60 feet to tap the
ledge at another point. A ten-ioo
ledge of very good ore has beer
crossed, but the Oro Fino proper has
not yet been tapped in this tunnel
This is, judging from the develop
ments made, one of the best golo
mines in the county. The price is
| fixed at $4,000. The Gladstone

Elkhorn, and undoubtedly on the
