VI. h. Hubbard of the Italian mine
has returned from Lemhi county,
Idaho, where he has been for the pur-
pose OF making an inspection OF the
property and also to attend to some
business affairs for the corporation.
In speaking of the mine and mill
Mr.. Hubbard states that the former IS
looking il a most excellent condition
with new ore reserves recently uneoY-
cred. While the mill IS running in a
satisfactory manner with noteeapie
increase in its daily saving.
During his visit TO the mine MI
Hubbard made arrangements Tor the
needed supplies and PROVISIONS LOT the
winter and these are now nearly al
stored at the mine, 90 that there VIII
be no delay on this score during The
coming six months. the only talhg
necessary for the complete success OF
the enterprise being the addition of q
concentrating plant, which VIII NEST
likely be installed at the mine carry
this fall. and it is believed that with
this addition the outpUt OF the mill.
which is now from $500 to $4,000
monthly, viii be increased by at least
d third The officers of the company,
it is understood, had a meeting last
night to consider The matter and IL
IS believed that II viii be decided 10
make the desired addition. and also
athat in the spring more stamps Will be
added to the battery, which now COM
prises ten stamps, as Mr. Hubbard
states that with the ore now disclosed
in the mine and With an increased
force from 40 TO 90 tons OF ore could
be mined daily, which would mill at q
big profit. AS il is the 10 or L tons
now being treated daily show up well

his return from the mine Mr. Hubbard
deposited a rice bar of gold bullion,
the result of two weeks run, with the
bank at Salmon City.
In speaking of the mine Mr. Hub
bard stated that the old shaft had
been abandoned as a working shaft
and that in a, tunnel at point 90 feet
from this opening a working WINE
had been started, and that already in
doing this work a ewo-foot body OF
quartz had been uncovered which is
high grade milling ore. While in the
other levels of the mines two SLOPES
have been started recently in Which
large bodies of twenty-dollar ore have
been uncovered. so that 1T would seem
as if there WAS a superahundance OF
good mineral in the property, and new
work continues TO show up the mine
better and better.
Superintendent George St. Clair OF
Lion Hill fame, who has charge OF tbs
Italian, is most faVOrably impressed
with the property, and under his SUI
perYision il is being developed and OPP
Grated in a thorough and able manner
In fact. the mine has all the earmark:
of a heavy producer and dividend
payer, and Mr.. Hubbard states that i
has the best showing to begin with Of
any enterprise of this character ne hai
promoted, and to illustrate how ths
proposition stands With its home peo-
pie it is only necessary TO say thar
prominent business men of Salmon
City are taking large blocks of thG
treasury stock Of the company, al
though in this city none of it has beer

Salmon City. which gives promise Of
developing into a lively mining center
is already beginning TO feel the eff
fects of the renewed activity in min
ing matters in that region, as three
new stamp mills have been erected il
that section within the past 60 day!
and two more Will be in active opera
ton within the next two months. be
sides which a large amount of Worl
is being done in the development O.
other mines and prospects in that sec
tion. Several new brick buildings art
going up in Salmon City, and evidence:
. of prosperity are to be seen through
out the entire section Of which Salmon
