Tabor's Work in Idaho.

Some months since ex-senator Tabor, OF
Colorado, purchased some placer mining
property on Big creek, Lemhi county, Ida
ho. No one has ever doubted its richness
1t was owned by a New York company, nve
years ago, who undertook to place 1t J
proper condition for work. and expended a
large amount of money thereon. The com,
pany endeavored to keep a man named
Mckee from selling liquor in their camp
and in the trouble that ollowed the IN
trudsr was killed, and II day after a syr'-
pathizsr was shot and left for dead. Two
of the compsny's men were tried and one
sent to the p~enitentiary for life. the other
ten years. From the time of the shooting
all work stopped and the fumes have been
torn away by freshets. Probably through
the influence of Gov. Shoup, who has =
large interest in Lemhi. Senator Taboo was
induced to make the purchase. Ths latter
is very fortunate and never fishes with a
pin hook. He has commenced operations
and will push business with his usual vigor.

The Seven Devils Country.

Reports from the Seven Devils country in
Idaho are to the effect that there is a big
rush there just now. The successful trip of
steamer Norma between Huntington and
Helena, the running of a daily stage line
between Weiser and the mines and another
from Pozette to the same point has made
access easv, and all seem to be doing an ex-
cellent business.
There are stories that the Seattle, Boise &
Salt Lake Railway company have located
fifty miles between Pozette and Helena anc
staked the same. and that the Northern Pa
cific is building an extension to the las
named place.. There is no doubt of the
worth Of the camp and of its certainty tt
become immensely prosperous. The en-
thusiastic prophesy a population OF 1900
the ensuing summer.

strike in tn. Ground Squirrel.

Carter & Co., who have a lease on the
Ground Squirrel claim, which is located in
the Kemper addition, have struck it rich
and as soon as copper takes a boom the
ground will be in demand, says the Miner.
The shaft on the property is only about 100
in a crosscut from the bottom of which a
body of good ore was struck some time ago.
The shaft on the Ground Squirrel is now
about 100 feet deep, and from a depth OF
about 112 feet it has been sunk entirely in a
body of copper glance that will assay from
40 to 81 per cent. pure copper. Sinking is
progressing, and as neither wall has been
struck and no cuts or crosscuts driven, 1t ls
vet impossible to determine the extent of
the ore shoot. The Ground Squirrel be-
longs to S. V. Kemper, in whose office at
the corner of Granite and Utah streets a
twenty-pound specimen of the ore is now
on exhibition. The gentleman is feeling
quite gay at the prospect of the mine be-
coming a second Anaconda.

Sinking ON the Alice.

Preparations are now being made by su-
perintendent Hall of the Alice to sink the
main shaft of that property 200 feet deeper,
which will take it to the 1.500-foot level.
Considerable good ore is being taken from
the 300 levels, a point where Sally Raun-
helm. who is now in the east, and a few e1-
ports who are still in the state Of Montana,
predicted some time ago that ore in paying
quantities would not be found in the mines
of Butte. The Alice company is finding it,
however, and will in all probability CON:
time to do SO even after an additional deptt
of 200 feet has been attained.

Red Bluff n

Among the guests at the Merchants hotel
yesterday was a tall, sun-tanned young
man attired in a light colored tweed suit
and a broad brimmed, gray felt hat. says
the Pioneer Press. He had registered as
Il. M. Park, of Red Bluff, Mont, and is the
superintendent of the Riverside Mining
company, of Red Bluff, Madison county,
Mont, and also superintendent of the
Montana Consolidated Tin Mining COM
pany, whose mine is near Red Bluff, and
Offices and headquarters in Chicago. Mr..
Park, like most miners, is not very 1oqua-
cious, but he did wax a little enthusiastic
in talking of tin mining, in a general way.
AS to the mine with which he is connected,
he stated that at present it was being de-
veloped, and he exhibited q specimen of
the ore, a rock containing black oxide OF
tin. Another Montana man who was
present said that Mr.. Park was the first
discoverer of tin in Montana and he
thought he had e good thing. The presi-
dent of the tin company was Gen. Black, OF
Chicago, who will be remembered as pen.
sion commissioner under Cleveland, anG
the ompany at present is stocked fol
$4,000, 600. Mr.. Park discovered the ore Ell
most two years ago and the company wal
organized a year ago.

To Extract the Zinc.

1t is very probable that a mill, built after
the West process, will soon be erected near
one of the smelters in Denver. This ID a
new process for the extraction of zinc from
ores, and has proven a great success In
many cases. If the rebellious rock ores
containing zinc can be handled, the new
process will prove q great thing for the
western mines. The presence of yin in
ore does not enhance it's value by any
means and makes it very hard to treat. By
the West process it is claimed that ore can
be handled at the same cost as others. The
company has concluded to erect the first
works in Denver.
