The great DeLamar mines are located ii
quite certain. The float is of the same
character, but richer than that of which
SO much has been picked up and inilIec
from DeLamar mountain. The claims
owned by Mr.. Seaton, by the twin broth
ers and by Dave Farmer, located last
fall, will be developed at once. The
owners all think they will turn out big
Samples of ore assayed from their sew
eral claims ruD away up. The NUGeE1
will keep it's readers fully posted on the
/ development of this new district. That
it will develop into prosperous camp is
now quite certain.
FLINT.
The experimental work done at the
Flint mill with concentrators last fall,
was sufficiently satisfactory to warrant
it's continuance Mr.. Leech has ordered
that the mill be started up again at
once, and will adj ten more stamps and
more concentrators to double the capa-
city. Miners will in few days be put
to work on the Last Chance mine,
which, it is expected, will be able to
supply the mill with better rock than
that worked last fall.
NOTES.
Messrs. Jones & Ready, in the Alta
mine, just north of the Louis Wahl, one
of the DeLamar group, have shaft down
one hundred feet. 1t is a good, double
compartment shaft. we'll timbered and
perpendicular When completed to this
depth they started crosscut on the
ledge and run fourteen feet without
reaching the opposite wall. when the wa
ter came in on them faster than they
could hoist it ont with bucket and they
have been compelled to suspend work
for time. This water is probably only
from the surface snow and will not last
long. The ledge is in red porphyry with
about two feet OF red clay on the foot
wall. They have a good looking honey
comb gold quartz which assays upward
OF twenty dollars in gold and carries
some silver. The ledge has been pros
pected and found for nearly the whole
length of the 1500-foot claim and is SO
situated that it can be cut at depth of
several hundred feet by acrosscut tunnel. |
They have an excellent prospect of de-
veloping good mine,
The wondrous wealth of Idaho's gold |
and silver treasures were seen during
briei visit in Boise City few days ago,
and were more than q revelation to the |
eyes or one unaccostu med to the variety
of choice specimens, as shown from the |
DeLamar mines. Senator DeIamar
kindly invited us, with few friends to
inspect some specimens, that he was
getting ready to send 10 London in a
few days. No one, not versed in min
ing literature, can give but a crude idea
Of the great slabs of native silver, weigh
ing from five to thirty pounds, and al
most pure. Gold in all sorts of fantas-
.ic shapes, scanned and threaded masses
pieces of quartz rock, and Natures
wonderful work was seen in many piec-
IS of curious and beautiful designs.
This great mine, with many other val
liable ones, lies in owyhee county, and
is rapid development will soon place it
Imong the greatest producing mining
amps in the world. .-Nampa Leader.
Ike Hale, Ed. Mills and John Reede
discovered vein of bituminous coal last
all on Succor creek, about two and one !.
lalf miles east of Fort Lyons. They
pened it in five different places last win
er, and now have vein of about two
nd one-half feet of an excellent quality
or blacksmithing, coke or gas coal. They
re using it for sharpening tools, and }
BAD is soon to be brought here for one
t the blacksmiths.
If the ores in the Flint and Mammoth \
istricts can be worked into concen- h
rates successfully, and it is now pretty t,
'el demonstrated that this method of +
'orking them will be success, q new %
nd important mining field will be e
ided TO the already prosperous camps t.
0wy hee County. There is lots of G
ch ore over there, but it is slightly b
ase. n
