Friend Abbott, of the Idaho Mail,
may quote California law to his
hearts content, hut Idaho law is
sufficient toAEnide )he old county
officers in their aedons. 1t would
have been better had some of the
new officials been guided by com
mon sense and the Idaho statutes.
Pearson, Allexson and Adams are
now stopping in their Queen of the
West mine, and daily extracting
large quantities of very rich ore,
which is stored in bins till spring.
The ledge where stopping is being
done is seven feet in width. These
gentlemen will endeavor to build a
small mill at the mine during the
coming summer.
If visitors here from the surround
ing mining camps would only drop
into the BULLETIN Office, between
drinks, and have social chat with
the editor it would materially aid
him in giving the mining develop
ments Of each camp. Don't with
hold news and then curse the busy
newspaper man because he does not
publish that which, by your own
negligence, he is not aware of.
The BULLETIN is pleased to learn
that the White Star Mining Com
pany, under the superintendency OF
Charles Baxter, has struck some
very rich ore in their Lew tunnel.
This tunnel is now in over ITO feet.
1t will be run about fifteen feet fur
ther, when doubtless the full width
of the ledge will be exposed, and
then they will begin to take out an
abundance of rich ore.
Thursday drift was started al
the 550-ft level Of the Gilmore shaft
for what is known as the Gilmore
big ledge" This drift will cut the
old standby about 200 feet below
the level of the old works, and
it is estimated the big ledge will b.
tapped within sixty days. If th'
Ophir mine was only managed as il
the Gilmore what rousing CAM
Rocky Bar would be the coming
summer.
Rocky Bar is and has been pecu

jects of such despicable actor

and united. and knowing remed

a helping hand in a quiet but d.
termined manner.
