gold placers; one of them a little
south of the Yellow Jacket is
being worked by hydraulic
power. The bedrock has prob
ably been reached, and it is pos
sible that the company will make
a success of the enterprise. In
the vicinity of the Yellow Jacket
company there are two or three
other companies which have or
gained, and there is talk to the
effect of having lixivation mills
erected, and additional stamps
put in their stamp mills.
The climate is good, though a
little cool. The timber is mex
haustible. The supply of water
is very good, from off mountain
springs and streams.
When the Idaho Yellow Jacket
Gold Mining Company has it's 60
stamps in working order, it will
be capable of treating at least
200, and possibly more, tons of
it's own ore daily. The reason
that such an amount of ore can
be treated is that much of the
company's ore is found in half
pulverized condition. The com
pany claims that it's receipts are
from $4,000 to $4,000 per
month. The discoveries and de-
velopments made in Yellow Jack
ct district have attracted miners
from other places, and almost
daily they arrive seeking infor-
nation. This country is contin-
ually better known, and there is
no question but that there are
deposits of gold and copper.
The officers of the Idaho Vel
low Jacket Gold Mining Com
pany are as follows: President,
John E. Searles; vice-president,
A. B. Roeder; secretary and
treasurer, Winthrop W. Tuttle.

Gently is pitiable. The Puyallup
preacher announced that he
brought good news; that the
crop was failure-cursed by
God-and they all said amen. II
mattered not to them how much
suffering this crop failure brought
on a community, they rejoiced
just the same. Sometimes they
make beer from hops; often they
make whiskey from corn, and il
would be even more consistent
to pray for q failure of that great
crop. Such mistakes as this do
more to hurt the cause of relig-

1t is not generally known that
gold, which is ordinarily con-
sidered the most precious of all
metals is not actually so. While
gold is valued at about $24 an
ounce, gallium is worth $4,000
an ounce, and germanium is
quoted at 81, 1875 an ounce. The
latter was discovered by Winkler
in 1885 and the former by Mon

Engineering and Mining Journal
Idaho Yellow Jacket Gold Min
ing Company.-Prof. N. Bibikvo
who has been about two months
in the Yellow Jacket mining dis
trict, examining principally the
property of this company, re-
ports to us that this property
covers about 600 acres, lode
claims, placer claims and mill
sites. The company has on its
ground 40 stamp mill and 20
stamps more will be set to work
in very short time. There was
one disadvantage with the dis
trict, that of communication
Until now every pound of mach
merry and produce had to be
transported on pack mules, but
two good wagon roads have just
been completed to Yellow Jacket
-one from Salmon and the other
from Challis. Among the recent
improvements made by the COM
pany on it's property, including
the mill, is a flume of water
which will give from 400 to 450
horse power. This water power
will be utilized in milling the ore
and running a sawmill. The
company has an immense amount
of timber on it's property. The
company has been working reg
ularly for years deposit which,
Prof. Bibikov thinks, is a surface
deposit in pre-existing basin,
and it's thickness is from 90 to 60
feet. The amount CT ore that
company can work by open cuts
he calculates not very far from
100000 tons. While he was on
the company's property some
three or four regular lodes were
developed, and one of them, run
ming almost from the surface,
averaged up to $50, two-thirds
being in gold and the balance in
silver. Other large quart veins,
one forming the contact between
tale slate and porphyry, 20 to %
feet wide, averaged about Sc or
81 in gold from the surface with
an occasional high assay, so that
really the mine proper, or rather
the lode mining, has not been
touched yet. However, with
new developments attention will
be paid to the lodes and the min
ing industry there will then give
employment to many people. In
going over two or three miles CT
the property as far as available
to the company, besides making
some other locations, there were
many outcrops of gold-bearing
quartz. The general formation
in the Yellow Jacket district
seems to be principally tale slate,
serpentine and quartzite, with
occasional outcrops of magnetism
limestone, and it is cut in almost
every direction by bikes and
sheets of porphyry, trachyte and
other eruptive rocks. Within a
short distance, or rather around
the Yellow Jacket property,
there are in three or four places

hence, naturally arose dessen-

corners on money or any mer-

The Captain has been in the passen-

that he wanted to engage one car for

left here with ten coaches packed. His
commissions were ten per cent, and

CHRONIC MALARIA,
A Very Prevalent Disease Following the
Hot summer Of 1898.

A Very Prevalent Disease Following the
Hot summer OF 1898.
The continuance of hot and dry
weather Is sure to produce the preva
lence of chronic malaria. The past
summer has been exactly suitable for
the production of a great deal of mala-
ria. Even in localities where malaria
has been previously unknown many
cases of malaria are developed. This
form of malaria is distinguished from
the old -fashioned fever and ague by
the insidiousness of its attack and the
difficulty with which it IS cured. II
does not come on quickly, like chills
and fever. The symptoms poster and
provoke sometimes for several weeks
before the patient is made sick enough
to take medicine.
Slight, chilly sensations, cold, sweaty
spells, frontal headache, biliousness,
furred tongue, bad taste in the mouth,
sticky mucous in the throat, constipa-
tlOu, lduSuOT, etc.
A medical treatise on chronic mala-
ria will be sent free by the Pe-ru-na
Drug Manufacturing Company of Col
umbus, Ohio. This book is a complete
guide to the prevention and cure of
malaria in its various forms. Pe-ru-na
has long since been recognized as the
only infallible cure for the chronic
form of malaria. While quinine has
become the standard remedy for acute
malaria, commonly called fever and
azure. many people have found by bit
ter experience, that it will not cure
the chronic form. Peru ma cures these
cases promptly and permanently.
