THE MINES OF IDAHO.
What Our Northern Friends are Doing
to Develop the Country.

The Statesman says that rich placer mine:
have been discovered on Willow creek
Neal district, Idaho, and considerable ex
element caused thereby.
Speaking of the mines in the vicinity o.
Boise, the Statesman says: The only
trouble about these Iodes in the Boise range
is, that they are too near home. People
find it difficult to accept the fact that right
here at their very doors there are mine.
that would richly repay large investment:
of capital and extensive Operation. The
time is not, however, far distant when the
truth will be known. and the numerous ricf
lodes and veins of the Boise range will
add another to the many home resources Of
the Capital City.
Silver City Audldnche: We understand
that the Sommercamp group of mines is
growing richer daily, and that large guam
tlty OF shipping ore is in sight, which is
pelng extracted and sacked. The gold
bearing lode is producing ore that will mill
from $50 to 500 per ton, which, considering
the size of the lode, is bonanza in itself.
From deep development work it has been
proven that the mines of Wagontown are
not only rich but large, and that the mines
should be worked by deep shafts, through
cross-cuts or tunnels, which strike the
lode at great depth.
The Phillips 81 Sullivan mine continues
to produce rich ore, which is piled on the
dump to be milled at the proper time 1t
Is estimated that the ore will mill from 500
to $500 Der ton
The DeLamar mill is running right along.
as usual, grinding out the precious metals
from ore out of the Wilson mi1.e The
mine furnishes constant supply, and
could keep three or four mills, just like the
DeLamar mill, running constantly the year
round for an unlimited period.
The discovery of a quartz lode was made
by Mr.. j. f. Sullivan during the week,
nearly mile beyond the summit Of Long
Gulch, which looks well. He has not yet
mad time to prospect the lode, but so far as
developed, it is about six feet wide This
IS new district, or section, in which nc
lodes have been heretofore found, and may
lead to the discovery of other lodes OF
great value
1t is rumored around town that rich
placer diggings have been found in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Quick Silver mountain,
IN this county. That gold has been found
IN that section, there Can be little doubt,
as in the early days of this camp some was
washed out. Whether there are any extern
sive gold fields so near home is question
yet to be determined, but from our knowl-
edge OF the country, gained from old pros
pectors, we are inclined to say, mo"
Elmore Bulletin: Some beautiful speci-
mems of ore, plainly showing gold, are
daily picked from rock taken from the
Reeser tunnel which is being theoretically
pushed into the mountain above town by
Richen and Cronin.
Weiser Leader: From present indica-
lions this will be a lively year for the min
ing camps of Warrens and Alton. 1t is
now an assured fact that the wagon road is
to be-built from Salmon Meadows to Mount
Idaho. This, with the fact that these
camps are to have at least two new quartz
mills, is bound to make them prosperous.
Clayton Press: The superintendent of
the Cinabar mine, F. A. Gleyre, visited the
Press Office the other day and told US that
he had started shipping ore. Ezra Orn
commenced with his train on the 18th inst.
They brought down eighty eight sacks of
high grade, making about nine thousand
pounds. Mr.. Gleyre will continue ship
ments, and probably will increase the force
from time to time. He is adding to the
mining force, and expects to increase until
there is much greater amount of labor
performed there than ever has been hereto
fore.
