THE LATEST EXCITEMENT.
The wonderful Copper Re-
gion at Rapid River
Remarkable Veins OF Al
most Pure Copper

The late copper strike on Rapid
River. 1870 miles north of Weiser, is
attracting wide attention. The Free
Press says;
A new townsite to be called 'Sher-
man has been laid out near the scene
of the great copper strike on Rapid
river. Ten locations have been made
on the outcroppihgs of the vein for
a distance Of 10. 900 feet. The
discovery is without doubt the most
important ever made in this county.
The famous Seven Devils region will
have to take back seat, for it has
nothing that can compare with the new
strike. which indeed, for extent and
uniform richness of ore, cclipses any
thing known on this coast
Rapid river empties into the Little
Salmon three miles above the main
Salmon. 1t is picturesque little
stream. and runs alternately through
deep canyon and open valley. At
the point where the discovery was
made the stream is confined between
perpendicular walls, and this parti-
cular part of the canyon was deemed
inaccessible. on account OF the swift
current and the steep walls But
nothing is inaccessible 70 the pro-
spector. and 50 he invaded this sacred
retreat one fine day and saw sight
that made his eyes sparkle
For in that canyon the great ledge
shows itself 20 the best advantage.
The out-croppings are very large and
well defined and tower above the
formation as high and firm as a house,
while the exposed surfaces Of the veiI
are scanned with numerous stringer'

Injunction Wiicd.

We are informed that Mr.. 7. Z.
Kelley has filed an injunction on the
Black Hawk mine at Mineral. MIR.
Kelly is part owner of the mine but
has been absent for considerable
length of time. During his absence
Mr.. NJ. Duffy, the other owner and
superintendent, has been steadily de-
veloping the mine and was ready to
commence delivering ore to the Mu-
tusl smelter. But as Mr.. Kelly has
put in an appearance and fled in
junction to prevent the delivering of
any ore, it is doubtful whether oper-
atoms will continue or not The mine
hats a whole history of litigation and
it Is to be hoped it will not be contin-
ned as the camp has had too many
draw backs of this kind. If the mine
is closed it will withdraw not less
then $500 per day from the output OF
Mineral this season. A description
OF tins valuable property appeared II
in the SIGNAL Of August 9th.

+. B. Lockwood, who has been
prospecting all summer in the Salmon
river country, called at the SIGNAL
office last Tuesday He showed us
some ore from new strike he has
Just made about IS miles from the

lis free milling ore and promises to be
bonanza. One pound of the ore was
crushed in hand mortar at the Idaho
Commercial companys store Monday
and some ten cents obtained as
result, which would place the ore at
5000 per ton. Mr.. Lockwood has
not done enough development to
justify us in making an roar but we
will PROBABLY have more to say at q
later date.
