FIFTY DOLLARS A DAY.
No More Doubt About The Willow Creek Mining
Oistrct-Actual RssuIts-The Easter and
Judas Mines.

Any doubt that may have existed
with respect to the richness of the
Willow creek mining district is finally
dispelled. Monday Dan Leyan brought
into this office solid gold nugget con-
tanning $3.50 1t was about the size
and shape of a goose egg cut in half
1t was the result of three days work
with common, home made crusher,
run by horse power, one horse. This
gold was taken from the Easter and
Judas locations, in the West View
mining district Of the Willow creek
country. The mines are located about
20 miles from Caldwell, north east and
are reached from this city more con-
veniently than any other point. This
settles the question of the Willow
creek mining country and in less than
30 days there will probably be 1000 men
in there. Already preparations are be-
ing made to open a store, build hotel,
saloon and post office. Mr. Levan will
start at once to purchase stamp mill
which he expects to have in operation
by the first of next month. He has
opened the vein on which he is now at
work, in eight places at various points
for 1900 feet and finds the same charac-
ter of ore throughout. The vein is from
Is inches to three feet thick and uni
formally rich. tbs decomposed quartz
and hence very easy to mill. He has
not sunk down more than from to 10
feet in the various places and the
deeper down the richer the vein. The
vein MIR. Levan is Oh is only dip or
spur of the main ledge. which is plain
ly traceable for miles and runs directly
into Quartsburg country. There are
five or six district lodges, running along
the mountain, all in the same direction
and extending many miles. Mr.. Le-
vans discoverysettles the fact that one
of the biggest strikes of late years
has been made and that the Will
low creek camp will rival any
camp in Idaho. The citizens of
Caldwell ought to exert every posi-
bic effort to complete frst.class road
to the diggings. This is the natural
outlet and the expense would be very
trifing. Now that lively mining
camp right at our back door is ply
steal fact, none of the advantages grow
ing out of it should be overlooked.
Hundreds IF men may be flocking in
here in few days and very soon
thousands of dollars Of money will be-
gin to flow down from the hills of Will
low Creek.

w. s. Bailey, representative to the
Sovereign Grand Lodge, l. O. o. F., and
family returned home Friday, in good
health and spirits. Mr.. Bailey says
that he saw sope good country between
Caldwell and Chattanooga, but nothing
in his estimation which surpassed Can
yon County. He started out with the
idea that he would look about carefully
ana finding country which suited him
better, locate there. But he comes
home perfectly satisfied that, all things
considered, Idaho is today the best state
in the Union. The trip was a very
pleasant and interesting one, but Mr..
Bailey and family are glad to be home
again and fully satisfied now to remain
here.
