There is nothing encouraging in

The feariully minded, who have
been in panic over the reported
alliance of France with Spain In
case of trouble with the United
States over Cuban matters, can
now calm their nerves. Heavy as
are the securities of Spain that are

enough to induce that country to
pitch in to any great extent. Rus
STA is said to have no little symps-

western Mining World

Jacket creek tributary to the
Middle Fork of Salmon river and
is 1870 miles from Red Rock,
Montana, our nearest railroad
point. The Yellow Jacket dis
trict including the new camps of
Blackbird and Wilson creek is
one of the richest spots in Idaho,
if not in the West.
The present population of
Yellow Jacket is about 300. The
Yellow Jacket Gold Company is
the only property worked extern
sively at present. The Coleman
Placer Company worked about
40 men all summer and closed
down in November without MAX
ing cleanup. The ground is
very rich and they expect to
make a $50, 900 cleanup next fall.
The Idaho Yellow Jacket Gold
Company is under the efficient
management of p. J. Cirkel. The
property of this company covers
some 600 acres in lode claims.
They have go stamps dropping at
present. This 60 stamp mill is
is one of the finest equipped mills
in the Northwest and has cap
acity of 200 tons a day. The ore
is delivered at the mill by a tram
way about one-half a mile in
in length. They are building at
present new tramway from
their No. 3 tunnel which will
have capacity of 300 tons a
day. The mill, mine and saw
mill are lighted by electricity.
The company has a fine water
power of some 400-horse-power;
a fume over one mile in length
gives them a fall of 100 feet and
the power is generated by three
PeltOn wheels.
The ore body is from 20 to go
feet wide and they estimate they
have years ore in sight at pres
ent. The past year 480 feet have
been driven in their No. 3 tun-
mel and large double-compart-
ment upraise connecting No. 3
tunnel with No. 2 level, 251 feet
above has been completed, tap
ping a large body ofnew ground.
The general formation of Yellow
Jacket hill is tale state and
quartzite and is cut in almost
every direction by dykes of
porphyry. The past year has
been a very successful one under
Mr.. CirkePs management. The
company has done great deal
of dead work besides building a
large fume and putting in 40 adj
ditional stamps.
The property owned by the
New Columbia Gold Mining Co.
in this district comprises three
groups. The Columbia, Lincoln
and Estevan. The Columbia
group is the most important and
covers Cleveland hill; the prop
erty is developed by 16 tunnels.
The country rock is the same as
Yellow Jacket hill. The veins
are contact assure and the ore
averages in gold from $40 to SIS
but is mostly base. The develop
ment shows an unlimited amount
of ore. The company is making
all arrangements to put up a
chlorination mill-some of the
machinery being now in transit.
The Lincoln and Estevan group
adjoin the Columbia and are de-
veloped by ten tunnels and num-
erous open cuts. The character
of ore is same as the Columbia.
The company has ample water
power. The future of the com
pany is very bright and as soon
as the COLONIZATION mill is in OPP
GRAFTON will be one of the pro
ducers of Lemhi county. There
is a small force of men at work

blocking out ore and Mr.. Arm
stead, the superintendent, reports
a new strike on the Columbia of
$50 ore-40 per cent. free mill
ing. He is making arrangements
to start up their ten-stamp mill.
The Lincoln No. 2, owned by
Dan Steen is showing up well.
They have at present z feet of
good ore that will mill $50 to $40
and are going to have a mill-run
of 100 tons made.
On the other side of Columbia
hill on what is known as Hoodoo
creek are some fine properties
owned by Ripley & Co. One
group of claims comprising the
Ramshorn. Peacock, Mammoth,
Aspen and Hidden Treasure has
had great amount of work done
on them and show up a great
deal of ore valued at from SIG to
$18. Another group owned by
same parties comprising the
Golden Leaf, Iron Mask and
Badger also has a good deal of
development work done; ore is
valued at $12 to $14.
Blackbird camp was discover
ed last spring. This is 8 miles
from Yellow Jacket road and 35
miles from Salmon and about 10
miles from the Jacket in a direct
line. The general formation is
slate and porphyry and very soft.
The first claims located were the
Uncle Sam and Idaho, by Joshua
Brown and Sam James. They
have z feet of ore that will aver
age $50. The gold is very fine
and evenly distributed. A half
interest in this claim sold last
fall to j. o. Swift, of HALEY, for
$12, 900 cash, and a Huntington
mill is to be in operation by next
May.
There has been some rs claims
located during the past summer
and the necessary ten feet of
work done on all of them. Some
of these clsims are equally as
good as the Uncle Sam if not
better. There are about 30 men
working there now and a good
deal of development work will be
done by spring. Messrs. Ford
and Brown are running a cross
tunnel 100 feet deep to tap the
vein on the Brown Bear which
on the surface is about 35 feet
wide. When they strike the
ledge they will run on the ore
for 300 feet when they will cross
cut for another vein. The gold
in this vein is very fine and even
ly distributed (this is true of al
most all the ore in this camp)and
the average value of the ore is
$12. This is one of the finest
showings in the camp.
All the ore in this camp is
more or less stained with copper
and one ledge owned by Lane &
Kerchner shows z feet of copper
ore which will average 30 per
cent. copper. Messrs. Bailey,
Pise & Co. have a z foot ledge of
ore valued at $35 per ton. Messrs
Coughlin and South have some
very fine ore which improves
with depth, in fact every claim
in the camp has improved with
depth.
Wilson creek camp is about 18
miles from Yellow Jacket. west,
and up Wilson creek 3miles from
the Middle Fork of the Salmon.

one exception the veins are small
but very rich. The one excep-
ton is a ledge from so to 100 feet
wide and the poorest and the
richest assays have come from
this ledge, $40 to S516. The
general formation is slate and
porphyry; the veins run east and
west and dip about 45 degrees
north. One popularity of the
district is that the lodges on the
summit of the ridges are capped
with porphyry. A group of
claims owned by Rasor, Short,
West & Ryan has just been

these claims a shaft was sunk
16 feet and in the bottom they
