EL,IoREs MINING OUTLOOK.

formation is Derived.

look Of this section OF Idaho been
more promising than at the present
time.
The Gilmore mine. which has been
the backbone of Rocky Ber for the
last twenty-five years, never looked
better, and which has given a new
impetuosity to prospectors and cap
italists TO direct their attention to
this the best mineral zone Of Idaho.
The Vishnue, OF old-time fame as
gold producer, is steadily and
grandly advancing TO the front
again.
The ophir is now at depth of
2i1 feet-water level--and has 700
or 500 tons of ore ON the dump
ready for crushing, and at that
depth the ore IL perfectly free and
will average 800 per ton in gold,
while the tir.t-elass ore will 40
as high as 1900. A small aver
age lot Of ore is now being worked
at Reeser's mill. and Superintend-
ent 0glcshy is more than pleased
with the result. Hosting works
and mill are badly needed and
should by all means be put up this
season.
The Mountain Goat mine still
holds its own good record, and is on
the same vein NJ the Ophir.
The ilattcring showing Of the
Ophir and Goat has caused consid-
cradle attention to prospecting in
that vicinity, and the result is that
beyond doubt a mineral belt has
been opened up that has been passed
over for years, and which will rival
the famous Gilmore aud Vishnue
claims in richness.
The John Boyle, west from the
Ophir and owned by Boyle, Towne,
Cochran and Fitzgerald, is a mann
moth mine, and they have large
lot of free milling ore. This is q
new discovery, and their tunnel, 300
feet in length, has opened up a fine
body of ore.
The Wanakontona, on the divide
of Blake's gulch and Steel creek,
is on the same belt. The groupings
assay as high as $500 per ton, and
the whole mass of ore from wall tc
wall, 800 feet in width, assays 81
per ton.
Thence come a block Of mines
making almost a square--the Josie
Blaine, 4. Taylor and the Emma
which all show we'll.
The Ada Whelpiey is a new 10
cation near the Goat lode, owned by
Liljegran brothers and G. NJ. Payne
But little work has as yet been don'
but the ledge is well defined and tn,
prospects exceedingly fiattering.
| This belt can be traced and is nov
located for Ave miles, and on it
western extremity. 80 far as traced
is the property OF Irvine & Adams
which is now being worked by DR.
Wright under lease. Here also ar
some very promising locations mad
by Hazehurst & Lawson.
This same belt can be traced still
further east TO Bascom ranch, 1
miles, where are located the Divi
dend and Starter, recently sold b
Van Schaick and Joy TO an easter
company, and which is 100 feet i
width, the ore assaying from $50 t
500 per ton gold. The Jennie Va
is also a promising location. Half
mile disthnt are the locations of MI
Howard, which are quite fiatterine
Representatives of the new compan,
are expected to be on the groun'

The Bonaparte mine, which ha
been idle for some time, now show
up better than ever before, under tn
management of VIM. McKim. BE
fore another month passes away CIV
erything will be in good workin
shape about the mine and mill.
At Red Warrior, the Wide Yves
is owned by an English company
and it is to be hoped that publ
rumor is only too true that the
, will soon commence operations, a
this property has been more tina
once put to the test and yielded u
its hundreds of thousands.
Adam Gottsch has some valuabl
mines adjoining the Wide West, bu

him he is as mum as an oyster.
