of what promised to be the ruins of
an extinct Indian or Spanish city.
Everybody has a pick and shovel and
are bound to find the treasure, and
even one of the prominent sheep rails
ers of that section has put men to
work on the ruins. The post is fenced
in by chains, several men standing
guard with shot guns, and everybody
is anxiously awaiting the return of the
gypsy chief, who is to tell them the
exact spot where the millions of by
gone ages shall be found.

THE TURF

ed but not disgraced, j. Naglee
Burle's Crescendo, the game son of
Flambeau-Janet N, was forced to lower
his colors to Walter Hobart's Bright
Phoebus in the'Naglee stakes for seven
furlongs at Bay district today, being
virtually handicapped out OF the race
Crescendo, although practically two
year-old, was asked to concede weight
to older horses, task to which he
proved unequal as Bright Phoebus, the
Realization winner, enjoys an enVlable
reputation os a mudlark and the track
was greatly to his liking today. Star
Ruby was first off and made the pace
for five furlongs, Miller keeping Bright
Phoebus in a good position. Turning
into the stretch Star Ruby dropped
back beaten, Phoebus assuming the
lead. Crescerdo, who had been taken
all over the track in the meantime,
came up fast on the extreme outside
and for a furlong remained on even
terms with Bright Phoebus. A six
teenth from the wire the latter forged
ahead, finally winning by a length and
a half, with Crescendo half a dozen
lengths in front of Rosebud. who
beat Star Ruby a nose for third place.

IDAHO FOR PLACERs.
Breaking the Record This Year in
Developing Gold Diggings.

Breaking the Record This Year in
Developing Gold Diggings.
Idaho is making a great record this
diggings, and if the interest taken in
these deposits continues unbroken, it
will not be many years before it will be
formidable rival to California in its
production of placer gold.
Already, as previously mentioned in
these columns, several Salt LakerS are
doing extensive work in the working
and development of Idaho's placer dig
gings.
The Bingham Placer Mining company,
of which Theodore Bruback is president
and Colonel S. T. Pearson is secre-
tary, is even now letting a contract for
the construction of a three and one
half mile f1ume and ditch, and the cree
ton of a complete hydraulic plant on
its placer deposits in Lemhi county;
while in the same county, in what is
known as Prairie Basin, Judge c. W.
Stayner and John Beck are putting in
a large and extensive plant for the re-
covery of gold from diggings which
cover a large area of country.
On Snake river also placer mining is
being engaged in from the Wyoming to
the Oregon line, and in various portions
of the state a goodly number of placers
are being operated with most encour-
aging results. New discoveries of pla-
Ger diggings are also being reported,
and the News, of Genessee tells of the
of rich placer deposits, as
follows:
The rich lost placer mines of the
Clearwater, where the Indians drove
away the white miners and massacred
five Cinnamon in the early SOS, are
found again by chance. The place is
near the mouth of Five Mile creek, two
miles above Greer's ferry. A small
of men prospected here all
winter and in the spring one of them
came down to Lewiston to dispose of
the gold dust, and it was soon discoY-
cred they had wealth before them. On
his return trip the Indians notified the
prospector that he and his friends must
vacate, and they proceeded across Bit
ter Root mountains into Montana via
10 Lo trail Two years later five
Pierce City Cinnamon stumbled onto
the abandoned spot, and after boarding
up a stack of gold the Indians swooped
down upon them and murdered them.
Many of our pioneers will remember the
event The place can only be reached
by tortuous ascent into the canyon. H.
Jenning last week came across this
spot. He PANIED out a shovelful of
dirt and got from fifty to a hundred and
five colors. The placer find is rich and
great results are expected next week
at the first cleanup"

A MOUNTAIN OFF ORE.
Discovery of Mammoth Body of
Mineral Near Lewiston.

Discovery of Il Mammoth Body of
Mineral Near Lewiston.
The Teller of Lewiston, Idaho, says
that the report of the discovery Of a
large body of rich ore on Snake river
at the mouth of Cottonwood creek is
the most significant bit of mining news
of the year. The district has been one
Of the most interesting to the pros
pector in all the northwest. There is
only a narrow belt that crops through
basaltic overflow that extends through
out the Snake river basin, near the
mouth of Salmon river. In this belt
there have been discovered rich de-
posts of copper, silver and gold. There
have been locations made in the past,
but the true ledge has never been de-
veloped. The old Butcher Boy, which
gave rich promises, proves to have
been a fault and not a assure vein.
Volcanic, or other disturbances, have
left a. broken surface in the narrow
mineral belt and very interesting con-
ditions exist in the entire district. The
fractory ore bodies carry iron cappings
that are perpleXing to miners. They
are often broken and displaced by in
ternal disturbances. In this narrow
belt, which is cut by the great canyon
of the Snake, there have been spews,
slides and freakish breaks which have
baf11ed the skill of the experts. The
Butcher Boy was a mystery. A dozen
experts exhausted their theories on it's
formation. 1t is now believed that the
hundreds of tons of ore taken from
that mine was simply a piece of float.
The latest discovery, however, is one
of the few mining propositions that is
a certainty. There is a mountain of
ore that has no covering, but the moss
of ages, to conceal it. There are 500
tons in sight. There are streaks of ore
in the ledge which will assay hun
dred and fifty dollars TO the ton. The
ledge, forty feet wide, as a whole as
says $40 to the ton in copper and silver
The rock is easily broken and can be
put aboard the boat for a dollar a ton
Similar ore formations are worked in
big mines which assay only one-ffth
of the value of this rock.
An old prospector by the name of
Canter made this important discovery.
J. B. Perkins and E. c. Strong were
already earnest workers in the same
field. They had expressed great faith
in the future Of the district. Their ex-
perience and good judgment guided in
the matter When this discovery was
announced, they were soon on the
ground and they lost no time in secur-
ing a bond upon the property They
are now virtually the owners, as the
value is a foregone conclusion. Ore
shipments will begin at once. Conser-
vative estimates place the output of
ore from the Snake river mines at
double the freight traffic within the
next year. W. F. Kettenbach and Ezra
Baird of this city are part owners in
this promising property.

GREATEST STRIKE IN MONTANA.
But the Discovery VIII Lead to Le-
gal Complications.


gal Complications.
Montana is noted as one of the rich
est mineral states in the Union. hut
like Utah, the most valuable discover
les are yet to be made there. and if
is more than possible that the greatest
mines in that state will eventually be
uncovered in the heart of some of its
largest and most productive mining
camps.
This condition of affairs is now being
experienced in Eureka. this state the
home of the Eureka Hill, the Gemini,
keystone, the Bullion-Beck and the
Centennial-Eureka, which are the peer
of any producing and dividend paying
mines to be found in the west, and yet,
on Godiva mountain which environs
Eureka on the south and east, the re-
cent strike in the Humbug promises to
place this mine at the head of the list
as the richest and grea test producer to
be found in the camp.
In Montana if is the same, and in
various parts of the state there is great
excitement over similar discoveries. the

THE AUSTIN MIME.
Reported Rich Strike in This Mag

reported H1ch Strike in This Mag
nificent Property.
Every mining man IN Utah, almost,
is familiar with the history of the Aus
tin mine at Austin, New They know
that it was once a prominent camp in
the early history of that state; that it
was a rich surface producer and that
for a number of years a great many
chloriders made fortunes from the
grass-roots, and that then the camp
the grass grew in the streets and to
the very edge of the shafts and tun-
nels r. 5
Two or three years ago, however,
Fon. P. T. Farnsworth, the manager
of the great Horn Silver mine, at
Frisco, associated with prominent New
York capitalists, became interested in
this abandoned property. and began de-
ve1opment ON a gigantic scale.
In former years the mine had been
worked by means of shafts on the top
of high and rugged mountain, but
when Mr.. Farnsworth commenced OPP
erations he began a long tunnel at the
base of the mountain, where the town
of Austin is located, and this tunnel is
now in mile and a quarter, and in
DISCOURSE it has cut a number of fis-
sure veins, rich in mineral, and from
advices received yesterday The Herald
is informed that the face of the tunnel
has recently cut into an immense body
of high grade ruby silver ore
Mr.. Farnsworth is now at the mine
erecting a mill for the treatment of the
low grade ores of the mine, and it was
from him that word was received an
nouncing the great discovery.
The Austin has been making regular
shipments of high grade ore to this
market for some time past, but from
now on 1T is believed that these ship
ments viii be greatly increased.
Mr.. Farnsworth, on account of his
enterprise in pushing this gigantic
scheme, is deserving of the highest
praise, and he will no doubt be the
recipient of many congratulations from
his Utah friends over the success that
has crowned his efforts.
