SOME GooD MINES


George SurAeet and A. ]. Boyakin
have men at work running tunnel
TO develop at the depth Of nearly 100
feet the Silver Reef mine, on Rush
creek, west Of the Halfway house,
fifteen miles below this city. The
mountain is SO abrupt that the tunnel
will have to be driven only about
sixty feet. A shaft was sunk to the
depth Of ten feet, and ore from it
gave average assays Of $3.50, mostly
silver. Selected pieces went much
higher. The ore contains much ma
tive silver.
Parallel with the Silver Reef is the
Larkspur, on which they are also at
work. Assays Of ore from this mine
gave returns of 110 ounces silver and
1880 gold per ton. The work At
present is confined to surface cut.
George Dunnigan and Surfeet will
commence development work on the
Sunlight in few days by resuming
work in the tunnel, which will tap it
at the depth Of nearly 200 feet.
There are many very promising 10
cations in the district and several
great mines are sure to be recognized
as such after more extensive devel-
opment work is done. The forma-
tion is granite and porphyry and the
lodges all carry copper, which is .
very desirable feature, insuring per
manency. A carload Of ore will bs
shipped to Salt Lake or Omaha soor
with view of ascertaining just wha
the ore will yield.

WILL PUSH THE WORK.


An important meeting Of the stock-
holders Of the Boise County Mining
company was held at the court house
last Saturday evening. A majority
Of the stock not being represented,
no action could be taken except to
make suggestions and recommends
tions to the Trustees.
One Of the recommendation was
that the Trustees place the remain
ing 5000 shares on the market It SO
cents per share, which they have
since decided to do. Most, if not
all, OF the stock will be taken by
members of the company.
After the stockholders adjourned
the Trustees held meeting, declared
the contract with A. B. Horrell for
sinking the shaft of, and took pos
session Of all the property.
The pump may be sent to the ma
chine shops at Boise City for repairs
before work is resumed, as the cylin,
der has been badly cut by the hari
sand passing through it. So that tht
water can be kept out while th.
pump man is packing or making re
pairs, or lowering pumps, anothe
pump will most likely be put in.
Last Saturday Charley johnson
who acted as foreman during the las
two or three weeks, bored down i
the depth of nine feet below the bot
tom of the shaft with an auger. Fl
found sand for eight feet, wher
stickey clay with gravel intermingle
was struck.
i Before raising the pump the la.
set of timbers were made doubly Sc
cure and tagging driven two fee
down into the sand. q
i The Trustees expect to resum
, work within a week or ten days an
to continue without cessation unit
, the granite bedrock is reached. tt
) formation is very favorable, and the
, is but little doubt that good grour
will soon be reached.

Last Friday night Joseph Hill met
with very serious accident. While
going down the steps into the cellar
at his residence he stumbled and fell
off. Striking his shoulder on a rock,
it was badly broken. Mr.. Hill is
getting along as we'll as could be ex.
pected, although it will be several
months before he will regain the full
use of the arm.

IDAHO DEMOCRAT: Chas. Baxter,
the assayer, visited Neal mining dis
trict on Sunday, returning Monday.
His stay there was too short to allow
him to see but very few of the devel-
opments now in progress, but those
he did see greatly exceeded his ex-
pectations. The claims Of Plowman
recently bought of Neal he regarded
as worth $4,000 or SAC, 900, basing
his judgment on the pay rock in sight.
Mr.. Plowman has shown his usual
public spiritedness in the building OF
costly road and expected to have
his quartz mill pounding the yellow
stuff out of his rock IN very short
time. Mr.. Baxter also examined the
placer claim owned by Charley Sha-
fer, city editor of the daily States
man. 1t is located in the bottom OF
the gulch with rich free gold ledge
on either side from which the placer
has been fed. He washed out sever
al pans taken here and there each ol
which yielded several cents. The
gold commences at the grass roots
A rich ledge also crosses the upper
end of the placer. Mr.. Baxter says
Mr.. Skaters claim as it now stands i.
worth $4,000 or $1,000. Next season
he expects to have three months

A large number OF people, inciod-
ing good many ladies, went to the
court house last Friday evening 20
hear the principles Of the Peoples
party expounded BY B. T. Poston
and VIM. r. Byrne. The 6rst 70
address the meeting was Mr.. Byrne,
candidate for Representative in she
Legislature. Mr.. Byrne stated thst
he was ! miner who earned bis living
BY bard work; thst neither Of the old
parties give any encouragement e
silver; that laws favoring the few
were enacted BY them. and that :
change Of officers has become neces-
sary. Mr.. Byrne, at the close Of bis
short, but pointed, speech read the
platform adopted by the State con-
vention. He then introduced B. Z.
Poston, whom the Boise county con
vention nominated for the State Sen
ate. Mr.. Poston commenced by say.
ing that he had declined the nomi.
nation for the Senate, not being eli
gible, having only resided IN the
State six months. He advocated ths
right of women to the elective fran
chise, and then gave . condensed
history of what he termed the sever
great crimes. They are.

greenback.

| Mr.. Poston sustained his position
very claar language, and it was ev
dent that he was well read in the sui
iects handled. He denounced th
Republican party, of which he ha
been a member, and was as bite
against Democracy. He said thi
the great manufacturers were pr
