IDAHO CITY-At Sheep Mountain and
Seafoam districts developments are being
made almost daily. Men who went in for
the purpose of doing their assessment work
and departing, now have plenty of high
grade ore in sight. They have now con-
cluded to stay and make shipments and it is
certain that more than 100 tons of rich ore
will be sent to Ketchum for reduction in the
smelter there before snow comes. Several
parties are examining mines there with @
view of purchasing, among whom is Chris
Mohler, of Challis, who has gone to
examine the Mountain King. He is
reported as well pleased and convinced that
it is a great mine, the vein being well de-
fined and showing a very large chute of
high grade ore George Philbrick, of Wood
River, in the interest Of Chisholm, has taken
bond on group OF mines on Bernard Sum-
nit There are four ledges in this group,
and everyone bonanza. The representa-
tive of a Denver company, for whom the
mines were bonded, will visit the property
within the next week. Sheep Mountain
and Sesfoam are now pretty well developed
enough to satisfy US all that they will be
the great lead and silver-produciug
camps of Central Idaho in the near
future. All that is wanted to bring
them to the front are smelters, which will
surely be erected before the close of another
season. The Elmira mill at Banner has
started up with 800 tons of ore in the
bins and thousands more In sight that will
be extracted as soon as room is made for it.
