of twelve feet assays of So in gold have
been obtained. This is promising
group and its owners are sangline
that success will crown their efforts.
The Recorder published at Salmon
City, Idaho in speaking of the Mitchell
Acme flour gold amalgamator, says.
The Acme Amalgamator company has
at Blackfoot, Idaho, 800 acres below
GIenn's Ferry, and is negotiating for
800 acres near Bliss. Two of the Acme
machines will be operated at Blackfoot
and three at Glenn's Ferry. Should the
ground at Bliss be purchased, fifty of
the amalgamators will be sent there
and there is said to be enough good
gravel to keep this large number in OPP
Grafton for many years. George E.
Johnston proprietor of the Walker
house, at Salt Lake, has purchased a
tract of placer ground on the Snake
river and will use one of the Acme
gold savers.
1t has been reported that fabulous
ly rich strike has been made on the
Reddy property in Lead City, S. D., by
the lessees, Lashley and Tortette, says
the Pioneer. a rich seam of ore that
ran something over $4,000 was en-
countered and was hastily sacked by
the men at work. A gentleman who
had seen a sample of the rock stated
that it eclipses all other free gold spec
linens ever found in the hills The rock
has the appearance of having been
dipped in a vessel of molten gold. A
dispatch from Lead City confirms the
above reports and says that ON Satur-
day evening last rich strike was
made in the Reddy mine, situated near
Lead. An assay of the ore was made
and it went about 100000. The news OF
the strike spread rapidly and created
considerable excitement, but it is not
: known yet whether it is only peck
ct or a vein, but from the looks of the
ore, a specimen of which was seen by
the reporter, q ton or SO is all one per-
son would want.
