THE LATEST MINING NEWS.
A Correspondent Writes
From Helena
And Tells the Signal of
what is Going on.

SIGNAL: 1t has been some time
since you have had communication
from the Seven Dsvils, every thing
is quiet here and large amount of
development work is now being done
on nearly every mine near or in the
vicinity of the Old Peacock
A good ore lead has been opened
up on the Badger mine and Mr..
Adams who is doing the work has
three men working with him. On
the Confidence shaft has been sunk
20 feet, which will be put down 20
feet more and with a prospect of
striking ore. The Black Garnet,
below the Confidence, has shaft
down 80 feet which also shows ore.
This mine is owned by Mr.. G. E.
Walker, who now is working several
men on the Victora & Tamerack
mines. In the Victoria there is a
ledge 80 inches wide which is very
rich in gold and silver and Peacock
copper ore. On the Tamerack the
ore body is 20 or 80 feet wide. Mr..
Towsley, who is now working on the
Bodie mine, has found very rich
body of gold bearing rock which is
very rich in frea gold. On the
Standard a tunnel has been run in
about SO feet and shows rich bodies
of copper ore, also ore has been taken
out of a new cut in the same mine
made about IS feet from the present
working. On the copper Key mine,
owned by Boston capitalist, shaft
has been sunk so feet and fine body
of ore has been struck in the bottom
of shaft. The work will be pushed
forward in this mine until the shaf
is sunk 100 feet. Mr.. Conley one
of the contractors on this work has
gone to Weiser. on business and vii
return to the mines accompined b,
, his wife. The air is being forced
into the mine by water power. Mr.
Rood has put up water wheel whicl
runs the fan or blower, which als'
was also was made by him. He i

On the Ch:eftian and the clair

Taxing the Railroad.

The state board of equalization
met at Boise on Friday, the 18th.
We get the following matters regard
ing the railroads from the States
man: Juy Sedgwick, tax agent for
the Northern Pacific, A. S. Watt, for
the Union Pacific, and a. W. Scribner,
tax auditor of the Union Pacific
system, were all representing their
respective companies. The Northern
Pacific is satisfied with the assess
ment in Koolenai, which was placed
at 81, 600 per mile, but claimed
Shoshone county was too high at
Sc, 500 per mile. The agent thought
the main line of the road was exempt
from taxation by the terms of its
charter granted by the general
government but it was willing to pay
reasonable assessment as a matter
of compromise and to keep upon good
terms with the people. Competing
roads might come and it was not
desirable that any prejudice should
exisl against the corporation he
represented The Union Pacific
claims that the Oregon Short Line
Railway companys assessment, which
runs from from $1,000 to $4,000 OIL
the main line is too high. The U
| X. & n. leased to the Union Pacill'
makes the same claim. Statistics
were furnished and arguments mad
by all of the gentlement. Colone
Dickey appeared for the Westerl
Union Telegraph company an'
submitted AM amended statemen
with a shortaTgument. The boar
then adjourned until 7 p M, whe
consideration of the railroad assess
ment was resumed.

ALittie Growl From Wsrrens.

Free Press.
A private letter from Warrens says
that the camp is duller this summer
than it has been for many years, and
that there are but very few projectors
in the entire Warrens basin this
season. Our correspondent attributes
the falling Off OF prospectors to the
actions of lot Of people who came
in "from the other side two or three
years ago, and plastered location
notice on every piece of float quartz
in the camp, and the result is that
bona fide prospectors and mining men
have been completely frozen out OF
the camp. Wepublish this statement
for what it is worth. Our cores
pondent speaks hopefully of the
future Of the camp, and says that
every mine which is being worked is
looking better than ever. 1t is the
opinion of the editor of the +. 2,
that the present dull season il
Warrens is the calm before the perioc
of activity that will ensue when th'
wagon road is completed. At presen

A Box of Wonders.

V. D. Hannah sent US In a bo x
which contained another link in the
evidence to Washington county's
claim to being the banner fruit county
of the state. The box contained
some prunes, five varieties of grapes,
two of plums, seven OF pears, four
of peaches, twenty-one varieties OF
apples; besides some 0huge Irish
spuds sweet potatoes, onions and q
mammoth beet. Truly this county
towers as high above its fellows il

the man who presented. them above
