Jas. Woods will start this week
with train load of supplies from
Challis, for the new Eldarado on
Wilson creek, near Middle Fork.
This is new gold camp that has
a bright outlook. The ore is
free milling and assays very
high in gold, but as yet little
work has been done on the vari-
Gus claims, but enough, however,
to demonstrate the fact that the
camp is worthy of development.
A party of eight or ten prospec-
tors will winter there. They will
erect an arastar to treat their
ores.
The Salmon Recorder is auth
ority for the statement that Don
Mcguire of Ogden who, for the
past several months, has been
prospecting in the northern and
northeastern sections of the State
of Idaho, has just discovered
some rich opal flakes. The
gentleman arrived at Salmon the
other day with lot of splendid
stones, all having been found by
him in Prairie Basin where he is
now operating. 1t is his inten-
ton to develop the fields very
extensively at once and the
probability is that some of the
gems will soon be on the market.
The Miners Union are on a
strike at Yellow Jacket. The
cause for the strike is that the
Yellow Jacket Company endeav
ored to compel the night-shift al
the mines to work 10 hours in
, stead of 8 hours as they were
, doing. What the result will bt
| it is hard to determine. Nearly
all the workingmen out there
belong to the Union. Strikes
as rule, are ruinous. The min

nearly ruined by strikes, but W,
believe in the laboring elias:
holding up for their rights ant
justice.
LATER:-We learn that the
strike has been settled in favor
of the Union.
