East Fork District. The little
work done on these claims shows
fine ore and a true assure vein.
The jefferson, Washington, SUIT
terberg, Sporting, and others
have shipped small lots of ore.
The claims made in behalf of
this district would seem extrav
agant, compared with total re-
suits, if the disadvantages sur
rounding it we're not stated.
Consider an altitude lat the Ger
mania) of $500 feet; a fall of
snow, beginning in November,
which reaches enormous depths
by the following May; q working
season which lasts about three
months in a year. Consider,
also, the stoppage of all COM
munication in winter with other
districts; the fact that but little
capital has so far been at the
disposal of the mine owners; and
last, but most important, that
transportation charges to either
smelter range from $25 to $50
per ton. But such hinderances
would be overcome by reduction
works located near the mines,
with capital sufficient to provide
for winter. And for all purpos
es of mining and smelling there
is no lack of water and fine
timber.
Among the principal claims in

Several strata of ore running

the mountains above Challis-in
short, from every section of the
country-come reports merely
limiting it's great mineral wealth
yet undiscovered.
Agriculture ably supplements
the mining industry in enriching
this county. The Salmon river,
rising in the Sawtooth mountains
north of Wood river, enters it on
its southwestern border, and pur-
suing zigzag course in a gener-
al northeasterly direction, re-
ceives the waters of ten large
creeks besides the East Fork.
These streams, together with
Lost river and it's tributaries,
flow through thousands of acres
of arabic land still uncultivated.
Since the hand of man is forced
to supply what nature withholds,
irrigation takes the place of
rain; and the water that annually
goes to waste would make YER
dlnt, fruitful valleys out of des
erts; would convert the silence
of desolation into the sounds
from many homes. In Round
Valley, containing 80 square
miles of arabic land, but small
portion hrs been put to hnman
use; in Lost river valley, con
tanning lin Custer county, about
100 square miles of arabic land,
1000 acres of hay and grain will
equal the number cultivated this
year; in Pahsimari valley, con-
tanning about so square miles of
arabic land, comparatively none
is under cultivation. Indeed, the
assessors books record only IL,
240 acres of land located and
held in 1883, and but II, 900 acres
held this year. There are also
small portions of land on several
creeks that await only human
agency to transform their bar.

will furnish homes and occupa

lack of roads leading to markets
has retarded it's development
Lost river, from it's source to the
point where it sinks in the lava
