Thomas Walsh of Colorado is ia
Utah looking for site 10 locate
pyritic smelter. Mr.. Walsh has dem
onstrated in Colorado that pyritic ores
can be made profitable TO the producer
and will visit all the camps in Utah in
the effort to further prove it.
Joe Dupont suffered a broken clavi-
Gle and several bruises at the April
Fool mine in Nevada in manner
which should make him tn hhnkful that

in the drift in which he was working
and his escape from death was almost

Washable mine, in Cassia county, Ida
ho, has been shipped, and it is ex-
pected that the plant will be in opera
ton within six weeks. A force Of men

Reports from Colorado are to the eff
feet that the smelters and railroads
are willing to make reduction in
Smelling and freight rate in order to
keep the silver mines of the state from
closing down, and also tha the miners

bilities of Tuscarora, Nevada. He has
had an expert on the grounds, and ex-
poets to secure slice of property in
that vicinity. The property which hs

Dexter, and it is thought he will be
Identified with that district before
the end of the year.
The gold samples brou ght in from
State Line at the request of Captain ]
r. DeLamar and II. A. Cohen gave
very satisfactory assay values, and it
is said that If the report of their ex-
pert is equally satisfactory there is
no doubt but that this promising gold
camp will be able to boast Of the
possession of an ore mill in the near
! future.
Crawford Moore has returned from

says he met two men who had just
just come out from Chamberlain's basin
portion of that section of Idaho that
is practically unexplorec, where they
had been engaged in placer mining.
