Last Saturday the Pratt creek
mining property owned by Nc
Killip Bros. and l. S. Johnson,
was sold to a Salt Lake syndi-
cate represented by Mr.. Crismon.
The purchase price is $50, 900.
Of this amount IS, 900 was paid
down and the balance is to be
made in payments as it is taken
out of the mine. The new com
pany is bound by the terms of
the sale to put in a mill and all
necessary machinery. This prop
erty is situated about 25 miles
from here in a northeasterly dir
ection and lies almost upon the
summit of the main range. The
machinery will be brought in by
the way of Bloody Dick creek, on
the Montana side. A. small force
of men will be put to work at
once under the direction of John
McKillip, who is a practical min
er of many years experience, and
the force will be increased as
soon as more men can be worked
to advantage, as the snow is still
very deep up there. The prop
erty is both rich and extensive.

hurt in Vienna by tree falling

have questioned his sanity. He
owns two thirds interest in the
Morning Star mine at Vienna
and his partner, through his at

caused to be published in a re

notifying him of his delinquency
for last years assessment work,
which would mean (but for the
fact that two of the said remote
and widely circulated" papers
arrive daily in Ketchum, and
contents noted") that Dennis
would lose his interest in the
mine by default. Dennis has
friends on the River who will
see that he is not buncoed out o1
his interests by illegal methods.
