The following clipping from the
Salt Lake Tribune of recent date,
shows how the people of Zion are
obtaining control of what should
be our tributary resources:
THE SEVEN DEVILS.
Messrs. n. Treweek and w. II. Rem.
ington have Just returned from "a trip to
the Seven Devils country Idaho. They
went on fishing excursion but the
riches OF the country did not seem to be
altogether In fish scales, and they have
taken some interests up there that may
prove to be valuable. The country is
reached by train TO Weiser, thence 1O5
miles up the Payette, Indian cresk, ETC.,
over the divide to the mining region.
The last ten miles OF the road the Mon-
tann company that owns the Peacock,
under charge OF its agent, are improving
to good travel stage, so the way to get
into the country Is plain.
been away about two weeks. They tind
a primitive community there, who have
been long waiting to have an outlet for
their ores, although they have not done
much work on the lodges. The veins
are contact and very wide, the Peacock
being the center of an uphcayal system
extending outward and embracing
mines in every direction. The claims
are all 600 by /, 800 feet in size, and the
nr tg tNpI IN. .tt
claim OF value underground. Every in
dication proves the great value of the
camp. The party from Salt Lake City
made little original exploration, but
they found the center OF the deposits,
and bonded Oor 30 days at favora bic
terms) five claims the North Peacock,
Confluence, Steamboat, Walker Placer
ana Black Garnet, each $40 by 1900 feet.
The ore in euch, and especially in the
Confidence and North Peacock, Is OF n
very lively character, showing high
assays. The camp is copper PROPOSE
tion, the ore going an average of 25 per
cent. copper, besides the silver and
gold. MIR. kleinschmidt, of Helena,
Mont, went in there four years ago and
took the Peacock claim for the central
ledge. He has been shipping rich ore
from there ever since. The North
Peacock, Confidence, Steam boat, Walker
Placer and Black Garnet were bonded
Tor thirty days by the Salt Lakers, and
the samples of ore shown are very
favorable. Mr.. Treweek says he will
put shaft down POO fee. ON the Con-
fiuence, and will push development as
needed without shipping any ore. A
Boston company with plenty of capital
has the South Peacock and other claims
that show well. 1t is altogether u fine
showing, and Salt Lake men are likely
