In.Ho CRY. Idaho. Nov. 8--The resignation
oiJohn Brown as superintendent and general
manager Of the property OF the Elmirn Com
nanx Mt Banner has boon accepted, and A. p
povier placed in charge until tho regular nm
nual election next spring. Mr.. Brown has re-
nentedly asked to be relieved during tho past
three years. as his wifo's health Is failing. and
ho considered IL his duty to remain with her.
zach time he was prevailed upon to remain
!. while longer. The position no has o.
cunied since 1884. during which time
ho has developed tho Banner and VOL
venne mines each to tho depth OF
s0O feet, and got 1900. foot tunnel one fourth
a, tho way in. besides putting up powerful
hoisting works in. the two mines. with good
rurops and overy other valuable improvement
necessary for the successful working OF the
mines. All this has been done without ASSESS
mants. The mines. with the twenty stamp
Mill. are valued ut $1.500.000. Tho product
has been large. and the difference between the
market price at which tho company has boon
compelled to sell tho bullion and tho Govern
nsnt standard Of $l.29 amounts to $4,000.

In few days more tho Blaine mill in Gam
brlnus district will DO ready to run. workmen
have been repairing 1t for q week. Tho bat
tory blocks for the Boulder mill. In the same
district, are going in place. As soon as the
battery Is up crushing will commence and 60
on while carpenters are erecting the building.
A GOOD deal OF development work will DO
done on Summit Flat during the winter. Tho
mines there are all auriferous. one OF which Is
under development BY Wash. and Samuel
Book, one BY Thomas Barry. ST.. and one. the
old Goodwin. by two Banner mon. The latter
was probably worked twenty or twenty-five
years ago. since which time It has remained
idle. Tho owners arc confident that they will
open up good orc chute before spring. There
Is an eight. stamp mill at the mine.
Nearly all OF the prospectors have left the
Sheep Mountain. Seafoam. Middle Salmon.
and Deadwood districts. and will not return
until spring. as It is now time to look for heavy
snow storms in those sections. During tho
past few months several veins have been de-
veloped into valuable mines. and when there
is wagon road communication with those dis
tricts We may look for q great boom. Until
they get an outlet for tho ores, md roads
over which machinery can be taken. little
progress can be made. 1t is expected that
something will be done by tho next Legisla-
tureto relieve them from their isolation.
The gold vein Of the Washington. which has
been closed for over week. is about to be
leased to miners who have worked IN 1t during
