the Shanghai report appeared to

IDAHO CITY, Idaho, April PA good
many placer miners in the basin are now
at work. Many more are all ready to
commence piping as soon as water starts,
which must be in few days. as the
weather is now warm, the thermometer
going up into the COS every day.
The Bella company's mill at Edna,
Beaver district, commenced crushing last
Monday morning. 1t is a cannonbail
mill, but starts off we'll. The company
have put raise up from the lower tunnel
of the Edna mine and now have IL in
shape for systematic and rapid working.
The raise was extended $40 feet before
reaching the surface. The ore in the
mine is exceedingly rich in chloride of
silver-in fact, so rich that il is believed
that it will pay handsomely without silver
advancing in price.
On Monday morning Is OF the 30 stamps
of the Boulder mill were started up. 1t is
not the intention at present to start the
remainder until the mine is opened up in
better shape and ore sufficient to keep all
running cannot be extracted with present
development. The main tunnel of the
mine is being carried into the mountain.
SO that a large amount of stoping grou nd
will be opened up. The ledge is large,
but with a mill capable OF reducing 100
tons of ore per day, it must be well opened
up to keep il running.
The Wells Bros. are working day and
night in the Summit mine, at the head of
Deer creek. Owing to the great amount
of water from the melting snow work has
been suspended for the present in the
-I-.E
rich rock is coming out of the slopes on
the 65-foot level. They have 25 tons of
ore on the dump that will be n great sur
prise to those who have not confidence in
the richness of our mines when it is
milled. the figures will be given for
publication as soon as the run Is made.
The ledge of the rich rock is from three
to 81 fect wide. The ledge averages
about eight feet, all of which would pay
we'll with a mill on the ground. The
Summit is now developed to the depth of
$50 feet and is considered one OF the best
showings in the county. Over 30 years
ago the Gulch leading from il yielded inn
mensely from the placers and many a
prospecter had hunted for the ledge with
out finding it. Some of the prospect holes
were within few feet of the vein, which
Mr.. Wells discovered on the bare bedrock.
II looked so much like rotten granite that
the prospectors who preceded him had no
idea that the ''cultus" looking streak was
the ledge. In a week or two, when sup
plies can be taken in, a force of miners
will be put to work and the yield of ore
will then be rapid.
Work will soon be resumed in the 300
foot shaft of the Mammoth gold mine on
Summit fiat.
Mccoy and partner have spent the win
ter developing a free gold ledge and ex-
tracing ore from 1t at the mouth of Henry
creek. They discovered IL last year and
had some of the ore worked which paid
them we'll. The ledge was discovered in

The spotted Horse.


GREAT FALLS, April 13.-The Maiden cor
respondent of the STANDARD writes: The
manager of the Spotted Horse gold mine
at this place has been in town for the past
fortnight and refuses to deny or affirm
the report that the mine which was once
the chief source of this camps prosperity
will soon be placed in operation. The
property has recently become financially
involved, and it is absolutely known that
efforts are being made to effect a settle
ment. Legal complications exist con-
cerning the property and the presence in
camp since Monday of a Helena lawyer,
who is known to represent one of the
principal owners in other enterprises in
the state, gives additional color to the
statement, recently made in the Great
Falls correspondence gof the STANDARD,
that negotiations are in progress looking
toward the resumption of work in the
near future. The Spotted Horse was one
of the first mines to give fame to this re-
aion as rich mineral-bearing country.
Two abortive efforts we're made to place
the mine on n paying basis. and each
time the property was thrown up. "Bud"
Meadow gained control and seemed to
know just how to find the ore. Much gold
was extracted and Maiden became a pros
porous village. The population increased
and the town was at one time the largest
in the county. Substantial residences
were built, mercantile establishments did
rushing business and the tributary
country was rapidly settled. Then finan-
cial embarrassments overlook the COM
pauy and a relapse was suoerod. Citizens
OF Maiden confidently expect that the
mine will soon be contributary to the
wealth of this section and the quondan
prosperity of Maiden will bc, IN a meas
t,re restored

Much Speculation In Maiden Over

GREAT FALLS, April 13.-The statement
that the people of Great Falls know
scarcely anything of the falls of the Mis-
souri, may seem paradoxical. yet it is true
that not more than half a dozen persons
living here have seen all the falls and
rapids, which extend from the railroad
bridge to the mouth of Belt creek, q dis
tance, as the river runs, of at least 20
miles. Almost every resident of the city
has often looked upon the Black Eagle,
Rainbow, Crooked and Big falls, but the
many other cascades and rapids in the
great canyon of the Missouri have seldom
been seen by white men, as they are con-
cealed by abrupt cliffs and difficult ap-
proaches. In time these hitherto mac
cessible places will be made compare
lively easy of approach, and the tourist
will be able to spend a week profitably in
viewing one of the most remarkable series
of waterfalls on the continent.
= 1t is to be hoped that the Water Power
& Townsite Co. or the citizens of Great
Falls will see to it that good roads are
soon established to some of the many
points of interest between Black Eagle
falls and the foot of the great canyon.
Few natural objects impress the stranger
more profoundly than lthe view of Rain
bow and Crooked falls, and the rushing
torrents at the base of the cliffs, as seen
from the west side of the river. No per-
son who has not stood upon the river bank
at that point can receive an adequate inn
preston of the grand scenery there pre-
sented.
1t was from this spot that the heroic
Captain Lewis saw the Rainbow falls 80
years ago. which he refers to in his narra-
tive as one of 'the most beautiful objects
in nature" Upto the present time not a
dollar has been expended in building a
road to this historic spot, so near to the
city of Great Falls. Few places in the
wide range of the Rockies offer a view as
grand and overpowering as that from the
"bastian" of the lower or great falls on
the east side of the river. The trail, how
ever, leading to this spot is almost inn
passable and a days work has never been
spent on its improvement.
o. The cataracts of the Missouri river are
the stronghold of the city of Great Falls,
whether viewed from a scenic or orindustrial
standpoint. For this reason it behooves
the citizens of this young and progressive
city to see that good roads are made to
important points on both sides of the
river, so that visitors may see for them
selves this mighty water power which is
soon to become one of the most important
factors in the development of Montana.

THE PEACH SITUATION.
Why the Market Is So Poorly Supplied
This Year-A Poor Crop in Delaw are and
New Jersey-The Growers are Controlling
the Market.

1t has been noticeable this year that
peaches in the Portland market have not
been SO numerous or good or cheap as
usual.
The Delaware crop blossomed we'll, but
it got the yellow" only about rs per
cent of full crop was picked. This is
the first week of the New Jersey crop and
that was only 80 per cent of full CROP
The consequence is that the growers are
not so anxious to sell as when they have
plenty. They have not made consign-
ments to the big cities as usual and have
forced Boston and New York dealers to
send agents right to the peach orchards
to do their buying. Thus they keep the
market short and the price up. In this
way the short crop has been big thing
for the growers. We shall have peachers
here, but they will be high, at least 531a
per cent higher than usual.
The PRESS reporter learned all this
from Mr.. J. T. Libby, the wholesale
fruit dealer. Mr.. Libby also explained
in regard to the big and beautiful Cali
fornia peaches which have been in the
market here right along, but which
everybody knows taste like so much
cotton WOOL The fact is that California
isn't the right climate for peaches. 1t IS
all right for grapes and prunes and plums
and apricots, but there isn't enough rain
for peaches. These big tasteless ones that
come here are the result of forced growth.
They begin to flood the trees with water
by irrigation, when the peaches are about
as big as walnuts, and in remarkably
short time they swell up as big as a
goose's egg, but it is water that has
swelled them and little else. Those big
cling stone peaches, when they have
ripened on the trees here in the Eastern
States are more delicious than any other,
but they can never be good If they come
here from California
