He Tells Tribune Reporter of His
Trip.
E. e. Gerking has returned from
his trip to Long Valley, Idaho.
With his brother, J. r. L. Gerking,
he started on June 9th to visit his
father, who has resided six years in
the valley. The brother remained.
The principal occupation of the
settlers is stock raising, though
their object is to finally become
farmers when their facilities for
marketing their produce are better.
The nearest town is Salubria, 10
miles away, and the next Weiser,
100 miles. The settlers make cal
culations to feed five months,
though seldom being Obliged to
feed more than three. Snow falls
two to four feet deep. There are
some fine meadows from which the
necessary hay iscut. The summer
is short. The strongest feeling of
enmity exists between the settlers
and outside cattle raisers, as the
latter drive in their stock and take
the grass claimed by the residents.
Mr., Gerking saw the dead bodies
of So head of cattle which had been
corralled and shot by the angr y
settlers. He enjoyed some fine
sport fishing in the streams and in
Payette lake, which is about twelve
miles long and three and a half
wide. There is a tide in the lake
when the moon changes. While
there are some good points about
Long Valley, it would seem that
there are more desirable places Of
residence not yet crowded. The
placer mining in the vicinity are
said to be rich, and much is expec-
ted when the new process Warren
placer machinery is set up. Nine
| ty tons of this was being hauled in
from Weiser.

ENMITY OF LONG vALLEYITES.

Quartzburg is situated in Grant
county, Eastern Oregon, and is
coming to the front rapidly, and if
situated anywhere in Colorado
would cause stampede. Mineral
was discovered over 20 years ago,
but lack of proper machinery for
treating of the ore caused the mines
to lay idle until compile of years
ago. The formation of this country
is granite, sienite and porphyry.
There are about SO claims located
and every location shows from one
to three lodges. The veins vary in
width from six inches up to eight
feet. The value of the ore runs
from $12 up to $3.50 in gold per
ton. The oxidized ore extends
down to about 100 feet below the
surface. Below this depth the ore
is more or less base. The value of
the base ore is from $38 to $3.50
per ton. Development work is be-
ing pushed vigorously according to
the means Of the different owners.
The richest property in the dis
trict is probably the Present
Need" group. This property has
considerable development work,
showing well-defned orechutes.
The average value Of the entire ore
deposits SO far as opened up is all
of$100 per ton, all gold.
The Dixie group consists Of IL
claims. A lotion Crawford
mill has been put up on this pro-
perty, and was started running on
the 10Th Of last month on ore from
the Cleveland mine, belonging
to this group. The mine shows
eight feet of ore in the breast Of the
tunnel. No claims have been made
yet. In the Del Delta, belonging
to this group, an upraise is being
made from the 200-foot level
showing 10 inches ofore and plenty
| Of gold is visible to the naked eye
The Yankee Boy and Forest
Queen groups consist of IL claims
showing from two to six feet of ore
the value Of which is from $15 up
| One of these claims has a two-foor
ledge, with a small streak of ex
ceptionally rich ore. The Belle 0

Reader, did you ever take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR, the "KING OF
LIVER MEDIcINEs?" Everybody needs
take liver remedy. 1t is a sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to q
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg

With this handicap Mr.. Babcock, the
resident manager at Minneapolis of
the B., B. & c. Co., offers $50 for a
purse, and Mr.. Foley, of this city,
will add $25. 1t is expected that the
West hotel billiard rooms and the

them add $25 more, making the total
of 500 in cash to be played for. 1t
is thought that any of the players
is likely to be first, as the odds are
considered large for Harrison to give
the others for a money stake. The
tournament, if arranged, will open
at Foley's Monday, Nov. 4.
