few weeks ago we published a hrief
notice of the siphon 81 Bohannon Bar.
Another proof of the energy of the
Salmon Gold Mining company can row
be seen on their property, in the shape
OF the largest reservoir in the state A
rough estimate of the material used in
It's construction gives us 10000 feet of
logs, 10000 feet of lumber and $500
cubic yards of earth. The dam is $50
feet in length and 10 feet in height, and
! is calculated to have capacity of 1900
miners inches for q twelve hours run.
The engineer is E. II. Wilson, CT Butte,
and the work has been done by Win
tiers, Parsons & Boomer. the we'll
known contractors, of Butte, under the
able superintendent Of Il. w. Soho
field, of Lincoln, Neb. The water was
turned into the reservoir the last of
the week. They will begin piping at
once and expect to work off twenty
five acres this fall.-Idano Recorder.
a gentleman who was recently out in
the Juniper country, informs the
Avalanche that there are hundreds of
Indians in that vicinity Strengthening
deer. Every creek is bordered with
piles of deer hides. Most of the In
dams are from the Duck valley reser-
walton, though a number of Fort Hall
bucks are also present. The deer are
almost eXterminated in that country
killed by hundreds for their hides
which are tanned and made into gloves
by the squaws and sold for money to
procure whisky by the lousy bucks

There is considerably more mining
going on along Snake river than is
generally supposed. e. E. Oocl
Decker was up from Bliss Monday and
Informed us that P Manchester had
bought into the Montana Bar, formerly
the Burdell & Sullivan mine. At this
claim two machines are running might
and day and the property is paying
better than for the past two or three
years. Dave Bliss and Lucas Mar
have located a piece of ground below
the Bliss ranch and have begun to
open up the mine. The showing so
far is good and they believe they have
struck a good bar. Doc says there are
more proSpectors out than usual for
this time of the year and some have
unearthed rich properties.-Shoshon
Journal.
Oscar Larm. came down yesterday
from More creek where he and his
partner have been working under the
lava rock. They have been drifting
and wheeling the gravel out and wash
ing it in sluices. The boys are very
Teticent about what they have been
making, but from the best information
we can get. they have wheeled their
dirt from three to four hundred feet
and made from three to four dollars
day to the man.-Boise Democrat.
Six wagon loads of emigrants and
their household goods passed through
Yesterday on their way from Kansas
to the Grand Round valley in Oregon.
They left their Kansas homes on the
10th day of July and came by way of
the old emigrant trail through South
