this office to the effect that about
ten days ago the skeleton Of q man
was found on Grouse creek, near
Atlanta. !, Close by was also found

at present. The force at the Black

parties who have been working it

there will be a new mill on the
Fork next season.
Mr.. James A. McFadden, of the
Yankee Fork mine, has entered
into a contract with a capitalist for
a 15-stamp mill on the mine next
SUMMER. It will be a wet crusher,
six vanners, electric light, etc. The
mine shows mucL ore, .and rich. and
as Mr.. Mac has received portion
of the money in advance, the mill
is certainty. It will be a great
help to the Mt. Estes community.
VIM. Dunn & Co., of Custer have
ceased piping on the Custer slide
for the present. They shipped some
of the first class ore and have a
large quantity of about 500 ore on
the ground. This has proved a
lasting and very remunerating in
vestment, and it will take years of
work to exhaust the work.
The west end of the state wagon
road is nearing completion. It is
already being utilized on the Fork
division. Parties 60 to Ketchum

supplies. ketchum will furnish
much merchandise to this end Of
the county hereafter.
A special to the Statesman from
Burke says: The CGur d'Alene
Silver & Lead Mining company are
working a force of 200 men and
running day and night. They are
taking out 10000 tons of crude ore
and shipping from 1900 to 1900
tons of concentrates per month.
The outlook is very poor owing to
the Democratic prices on lead. and
the miners and mine owners are
quite discouraged over the prospects
for the near future. The Tiger
mine is running day and night, en-
ploying 80 men and milling 80 tons
Of concentrates daily. An English
syndicate have had experts here
for some time investigating the sew.

1t the Mammoth all were discharged
on Monday with the exception of
seven or eight who are retained on
