i.e past year, while there has hec

farmers have bad unusually gooe
markets.. siany have planted larg.
orchards, and a few years hence VI
will not be obliged 10 send off fol
any Of the fruit needed in the mining
| sections.
~ the mining districts the progres,
has bsen very rapid Al Banner tht
EImira company has developed Qrea,
silver mines In the Crown Point and
Wolverine, and the shaft has reached
/ the 50O-foot level, and cross cut II
now running TO open those miaes al
that depth. II the immense ore
bodies of the 300 and 4Oo-foot levels
continue at that depth mine wortl,
vast amount Of money will be the
result In fact, the 20-stamp mill Is
nov incapable Of reducing the ore as
rapidly as it is extracted. Develop
inciit work is going on In the west
extension Of the Crown Point, where
iit is expected that another great
mIne--as good as the original loca-
tlon--will be opened The Calves
ton, a location east Of, and parallel
with, the Crown Point, owned by
james Irwin and Others, is thought to
be one Of the best properties Of the
district The Banner. which has been
developed to the depth of 500 feet,
last year yielded SIS ounces silver
per ton. II is now worked under
lease by VIM. and Jas. Gibbs, who
will make some money out Of it.
At Graham the Silrer Mountain
company has developed large gold
mine in the Julia, and Capt Hambly,
the superintendent, says the 20-stamp
mill will run next year.
At Eidorado district several silver
mines have been sufficiently deyel-
oped during the past year to justify
us III saying that three or four great
bonanzas, at least, exist in those
stately mountains, while promising
locations are numerous.
In Gamhrinus district the Moriarty
Bros. have demonstrated the fact that
the Forest King NINE extends to Elk
creek and carries gold the full length
of two locations west OF the mill,
5000 fest. The Washington COM
pany has opened up great mine,
and w. S. Galbreaith, w. w. Hooson
and G. E. Jones are opening up two
bonanzas higher up on the mountain.
In the south side of the district VIM.
Libby Is opening up gold mine III
the old Chickahominy that carries
the richest gold ore in the county,
crushing lately made having yielded
1896 per ton. He will continue work
all winter at opening up the mine
and extracting ore. On Elk creek
work is progressing on the EIkhorn
with very encouraging prospects.
Near the Half Way House, on the
Boise road, several good silver mines
have been located, and the indica-
tions for district of much activity
in the near future are good.
Some important discoveries of rich
gold quartz mines have been made
during the year on Willow creek,
three miles west of Idaho City, and
that district will soon receive more
attention.
Near Grimes Pass, at the head of
Grimes creek, considerable develop
ment work has been going on. Henry
Whitney, superintendent of Boston
company, has erected 20-stamp gold
mill, which commenced crushing two
weeks ago. On the head of Big
Muddy William Sweet has pretty
thoroughly developed three gold
mines that have proven better than
was expected, and to reduce the ore
of which large mill will undoubtedly
be erected next year.
AT Qrartzburg the Gold Hill mill
is running day and night, as it has
for several years past, and regular
and large dividends are the result.
The mine is the largest in Boise
county, the ore body averaging sixty
feet in width,
A very rich silver mine is under
course of development on North Fork
of Payette, near Round valley, and
the Liberty, on Squaw creek, has
bonanza that is creating great excite
ment amcng the people of the valleys
and attracting the attention OF capi-
talists.
Taking everything into considera-
tion Bose county has advanced fully
as RAPIDLY, if not more SO, than the
