The Boise County Mining company
has somewhere near 1000 subscribed
for stock, and although this amount
does not come up to what is actually
needed, or what was expected, II
will, however, put on new machinery,
aud make all the necessary prepara-
tions for resuming work and leave a
sufficient amount to sink quite al
distance, and may be enough to oreach
the granite bedrock. With new ma
chinery up and the confidence that
new plant would inspire as to
successful working without mishaps,
drawbacks and delays, it would then
be much easier to sell more stock.
Even with the amount now sub.
scribed il is possible, and even very
probable that pay gravel could be
reached. At any rate the work done
would not be thrown away, and we
would be amply prepared to resume
work early next spring. The peo-
pie here are determined that the
work shall never be abandoned unit!
granite bedrock is reached, SO why
delay now when there is a probabili-
|ty of reaching pay with the funds
now promised? If something is not
done this winter, the work will not be
again resumed until late next season.
II pay can be struck with what can
be raised the work will go right along
without interruption, as the gravel
can be washed during the winter as
well as in the summer. An anxiety
has heen aroused to know just what
lies between the false and granite
bedrocks, and delays are harassing.
What is the use of dilly dallying
along and wasting half life time
before solving the problem? By all
means push the work as rapidly as
possible. IL we cannot get to the
granite with the money subscribed
get as near as possible. After thor
oughly preparing to do the work al
it should be done, there will be les
difficulty in selling more stock t,
keep on going.
The company has been contem
) plating the purchase of the hoist a
) the Banner mine for 5000. This is
pretty good hoist, but has been Ions
in use, and the past few years ha
been lying idle, which is worse thai
! use. 1t cannot be as good as new
: New machinery can be purchase,
t and laid down here for about tn
e same amount this hoist can be bough
e for, SO the best plan would be to pur
: chase a brand new one. Wn

t lers of Rohan Bros, of ST. Louis, fo
1886 each. They are forty-hors

is sions are 40 inches by 16 feet. Ther
are thirty six three-inch tubes in eacl
and the dimensions of the steal
domes are 80 inches by z feet. The

plete. He got fifty feet of th,rt,
inch smoke stack for each witho
extra cost. The two boilers, full
- equipped, with the exception of /
spirators, which cost but little, co

- boilers, the entire plant, laid dov
here, would not cost more than 4
