The Buffalo Hill boys in Elk City,
are going to lower their flume this
summer to the lowest practicable grade,
with the intention of opening up new
ground. That old Buffalo Hill has long
been regarded as mine Of hidden
treasure, but owing to the topography
Of the country 1t has never been thor

claim, and it is on the cards that some
startlingly rich finds may be unearthed.
At all events we hope so.-Free Press.

refage.-Pocatello Tribune.
