HUNTING FOR HONEST MONEY"
At Least they are in Search of What
Cleveland Designates as Such.

"Mr. Post is trying his luck pros
pecting along the Snake river bars.
He claims to have found dirt that
shows very we'll in bright colors.
The Idaho Falls Register says
"Two men came down from Montana
Tuesday, and started with G. B. Tay-
lor on Wednesday morning to locate
the gravel beds about IS miles up
the river They have new process
for saving the fine gold.
The Elmore Bvlletin says: "Sev-
eral men have recently left this place
for Snake river to try their hands at
''rocking" for gold on the sand bars
of that river, and it would be credit
able to others should they follow in
the footsteps of these industrious gold
hunters.
The Idaho Avalanche says: GA
party from the Snake river placer
mines is in town with six gold ingots,
the result of six days work with a
rocker. Three men were employed
The combined value Of the ingots is
S75. 80, or $l2. 65 cents per day for
one rocker
The Nampa Leader says: "Accord
ing to the reports of parties who went
from here to investigate the Caldwell
placer fields and returned Tuesday
last, there is nothing there except u
small bar or two, and the reports OF
the Tribune and the account of the
correspondent in the Boise Statesman
are base falsehoods. Now there is
something wrong somewhere, and the
reports which are being sent out urg-
ing people to rush to the Caldwell
placer fields should be verified before
there is too much faith placed in
them"
The Caldwell Tribune says GA. E.
Tulloch and family, of Salt Lake, ar
q rived in Caldwell last Sunday. Mr.
: Tulloch is the inventor of machine
t which he thinks will save every parti
: Gle of -four gold in the sands of til,
. Snake and Boise valleys, and is her,
It looking over the ground with viev
y to making a practical test. Th
II principle of the machine is to get thu
q exact motion of an expert with pan
d An expert can pan gold which canno
J. be saved in any other way, and thi
machine proposes to pan out the pre-
IN cious metal on a large scale. W
ID trust that Mr.. Tulloch has struck til
l. true solution of this great problem
n Too many machines for saving iou
er gold cannot be invented. The san
ed bars of our streams contain large de
n posts of this fine gold, and there
p plenty of room for all. "
We The Pocatello Tribune says {"
II; letter received by Charley Nopp'
of from the bars ON the Snake rive
30 where Tom Ball and party are worl
Sc ing their gold saving machine, col
I'M tains far more favorable repor
he regarding the amount of gold tt
he machine is saving. In one day
ut work the party took out 800 wor
at of pure gold, and as they proce'
p- with their work they expect to i
wi crease the daily output. The machil
I'm as yet is in a crude state, and VIII,
es, the owners get it down to fine wor
,he ing order they certainly will ha
ity their fortunes assured a number
I'VE Pocatello men have become interest
for in the scheme, and with George Re
'dy ethan as manager, will at once col
wn mence the construction of a dit
ing running from Snake river, in order
ng get water over the land, as that is
aid that is required TO make the emit
i've prise financial success.
