ly from this one company. The value
of the production from this company's
mines is about one million dollars per
year.
Besides the De Lamar company's
mines there are several other groups of
claims sufficiently developed to warrant
the prediction that in short time the
production Of the camp will be very
greatly increased. The ores of the dis
trict predominant in gold, containing
about go per cent in gold to 40in silver.
SILVER CITY.
The mines at Silver City are situated
on two mountains. Florida lying west
and War Eagle east Of the town. The
Oldest discoveries of the precious metals
in the county were made on the War
Eagle mountain, thirty years ago, and
for several years the camps upon that
mountain were immense producers.
After experiencing several years of vi
cissitndes they began again to come
to the front two or three years
ago and have now again assumed great
prominence. Enterprises now begin to
to promise to make that mountain |
again great producer. Among the
most prorcinent propertiee on War Ea-
gle are the Poorman group. the Orc
Elmo, the Chariot, Minnesota, Mahog-
any and Cumberland, Many other
are valuable.
ON FLORIDA MOUNTAIN
are three great and steady producing
groups of properties, the Black Jack,
Trade Dollar and Tip-Top, he latter
recent discovery is already famous as
one of the greatest properties in the
county. Besides the above there are at
least dozen other very valuable prop
critics, only waiting capital and enter
prise to bring them to the front.
BOULDER DISTRICT.
This is new district, situated about
en- miles southeast of Silver City.
bout thirty men are now employed in
he district developing claims which
re showing up very satisfactorily. The
district covers q considerable extent Of
erritory. The lodges are large and the
most of them are gold producers. Those
most familiar with the district main
ain that it will prove very valuable
ne.
This district carries principally silver
res, and the low price of the white +
FETAL has prevented the prosecution of
ork there to any great extent for some :
ears. The mines have been rich pro- =
ncers and should silver again regain !:
8 legitimate position the camp will /,
Jain flourish. 3
SOUTH MOUNTAIN.
This camp, located twenty miles south :
DeLamsr, contains very extensive
'posits of silver galena, aud is prob }
lily richer in these minerals than any :
cality in southern Idaho, But being 8
ch distance from railways, under 5
e existing prices of lead and silver
mot be pro6tably worked. With
advent OF railroad into the county
s district will become one of the most
portant ones in this section of the s
tie.
COW CREEK.
This district begins about three miles
rtbwest of the De Lamar mines and s
ends thence northwesterly three or :
r miles. 1t is without doubt, on the 3
1e mineral belt as The mine at De Sc
mar, the ores showing the same gem
character. Prospectors have loca- 81
large number OF claims in the dis. I

been done to warrant the belief s
this will sooner or later prove a : {
