Mineral Resources Of Florence
Idaho.
Engineering and Mining Journal

Engineering and Mining Journal.
Florence, situated As miles from
Grangeville and 100 miles from
Lewiston, at an elevation of 6, 400
#. above sea level, is fast being de-
veloped and explored by hunters
after yellow metal. This camp,
formerly the richest camp in
Idaho, has added $7S, 200, 900 to
the mineral meath of the world
from it's placer mines, and it is not
at all doubtful that it will exceed
that amount from it's quartz veins.
The quartz lodges now being de-
veloped here are PROFESSIONALLY
the source of the placer gold.
There is very little wash-gravel to
be found in the placers, the only
wash being broken quartz, all rich
in gold. The value of the gold
here is $3.50 per ounce. Twenty
years ago there were no less than
eight arrastras and one stamp mill
at work crushing the rich aurifer-
GUS ores exposed by the placer
mining operations. The proper
ties on which they were are now
being worked with renewed vigor
and modern machinery. The Ban
ner mine is the largest body of ore
at present exposed, being about
Is fl. between walls. This prop
erty was recently sold for $40, 900.
The ore from the Banner mills
about $40 per ton. The Ozark is
another promising piece of prop
erty; this mine is equipped with a
five stamp mill of the latest design.
The vein is over 81 #. wide, and is
well defined; the ore runs about
$40 to SO per ton. The Waverly
is a well-defined vein of free-mill-
ing ore, and it has been a big pro-
Queer. The placer mining indus
try is not now flourishing, as the
most available deposits are worked
out. A. WALKER.

twenty miles south of Elk City,
several valuable quartz locations
have been made and upon at least
one claim-the Badger-develop-
ment work will be rushed through
out the winter. The Badger is
under a $4,000 bond to Montana
people.
Of the claims on Big creek the
Yellow Jacket, Silver Tip, Home
stake and Badger are very promis-
ing, although the most work done
on any one claim is less than
seventy five feet.
At Pierce City, Elk City, Dixie
and Florence work has been going
on throughout the summer, and
on many claims will be continued
during the winter. Quartz claims
in all these camps have made ex'
ceptionally good showings con
sidering the amount of work done
and without a doubt there will be
more than one paying mine in
these places before many years
have passed. Up to this time
placer mining has attracted more
attention in these camps than has
quartz mining, but in the neal
future that will be reversed.

GOLD REVIVAL IN IDAHO
G. Il Holt of Idaho County, Tells
of New Work Going on.

Salt Lake Tribune.
There is gold belt fifty miles
from the Snake river in Idaho, said
Hon. G. E. Holt, who will repre-
sent Idaho county in the approach
ing session of the legislature, that
is going to furnish in short time
one of the biggest booms ever ex-
perienced in the west. The local
ity is an old one and for many
years has been productive of vast
amounts of placer gold; some of the
gravel is as rich as was ever turn
ed. Then came an interval in
which but little was done, and Elk
City, Florence, Pierce City and
the remaining camps were practi-
cally deserted for several years.
Then capital began to inquire into
the diggings and hydraulic plants
were introduced. This awoke the
camps to new life and prospecting
for lode claims, the source from
which the placers derived their
values, was commenced. The re-
suit says Mr.. Holt, has been that
in many places, along the belt,
which has been traced for many
miles, valuable discoveries have
been made, and this, with success
in the placers, has brought in new
blood and new capital. The trip
to the country is made up the
Snake river to Lewiston by boat
and from that point it is fifty miles
over a reasonably good road to the
camps. Mr.. Holt, who has a large
circle of friends and acquainten-
ces in this city, will remain sew.

GRANGEVlLLE POINTERS.
Six Giants Will Work on the
Buffalo Hill Next Spring

Spokane Chronicle, Special Correspondence.
Although the roads across
Craig's mountain are almost i'm
passible, an immense and unusual
amount of freight is being received
by our merchants, due to the in
creased trade with the adjacent
mining camps, which was much
more active this winter than usual.
G. L. Boynton, who has contract
ed to deliver $1,000 pounds of pip
ing to the Buffalo Hill mining
company at Elk City, is in town
and expects soon to have COM
pleted his contract. The company
has recently put force to work
digging a new ditch, and are max
ing arrangements to begin opera
tions in the spring with force OF
six giants, and expect an output OF
$50, 900 a month next season.
Grangeville's new military COM
pany, which has been organized in
the last ten days now numbers
nearly fifty, and Captain Murphy
may we'll feel elated over his eff
forts to organize.
The present indications justify
the belief in a bright future for
Grangeville, as she is in the heart
of a region rich in mineral, which
is being rapidly developed.
AS predicted, our school is win
ming an enviable reputation.

READY FOR A RUSH.
ceive Crowds of Gold
Seekers.

Spokane Chronicle.
More and more encouraging re-
ports continue to come from the
camps of Central Idaho, and there
is not a doubt that this part of
the northwest will assume a very
prominent place in mining circles
during the next few years. Up
to this time the prOspector and in
weston in that part of the north
west have been looking for free
milling gold properties or for pla-
Ger ground, but now that atten-
ton has been turned that way
there will very likely be a large
number of base metal properties
found, probably both of gold and
silver.
A large part of that country has
been but imperfectly prospected
and there are parts of it that have
not as yet been visited by the
white men. Free gold has been
found in nearly every stream that
flows from the Bitter Roots and in
but few instances have the lodges
been found. During the past
summer free gold has been found
in the Clearwater in paying guam
titles and there is very likely to be
a rush into that district early in
the spring. Several lodges were
found on the north fork of this
river but so late in the season that
but little work has been done on
them and it is impossible to de-
termine the real value of this dis
cOvery.
Several valuable finds have been
made on Moose creek during the
past season and it now looks as
though there would be consider
able placer mining along that
creek during the coming year.

A good sportsman is familiar with his

1t, says Harper's Round Table. From
the time he takes it out of the case the
muzzle Of the barrels is on his mind un-
til he has taken it to pieces, cleaned it,
and put it away in his case. When
he starts out in the morning, he takes
out the barrels, and pointing them to-
wards the earth as he holds them in
his left hand, he springs the stock into
its place with his right. Then having
fixed on the little piece of wood which
clinches the two parts together, he
passes his right arm around the barrels,
so that as he carries it the stock points
up and behind him at an angle of about
forty-ive degrees, and the barrels
point down toward the earth at a SIM
liar angle in front of him. Around his
waist or in his pockets he carries cart
ridges. No charge goes into his gun
until he has not only left the house,
but actually arrived on the grounds
where he expects to find game. If he
has to drive to the proper woods or the
shooting-stands or blinds, he places the
piece in the bottom of the wagon,
pointing out toward the rear, never

In the making of kites shape is no
consideration. A square, circle, man,
star, fish, dragon, horse or shield will
fly equally well, but they must be
equally proportional. In Japan one
sees a whole menagerie at once in the
air-horses, cows, monkeys, bats, fishes,
crows and snakes, as well as dragons,
babies which cry, boys with their arms
diers.
Fighting kites" are seen everywhere
In both China and Japan.
The armed kite is usually made about
two and half feet high and covered
with cambria or silk. The tail may be
made Of strips of bright-colored cloth
about one inch wide, securely tied IN
the middle to strong Irvine. The de-
structive part of this kite lies IN
the tail, to which are attached sharp
pieces of broken glass called knives.

RICHEST YET.
Finest Gold Ore Ever Found In
Florence District.


Spokane Chronicle, Special Correspondence.
Two rich strikes have caused
excitement in this old camp this

the future Of this district to the
highest degree. The first is in the
Banner Gold Mining company,
where a shoot of rich ore eight
inches wide has been exposed,
making this ono of the most prom
Using mines in the district. The
other is on the property of the
Gold Bug Gold Mining company
where the miners have run into
twenty inches of the highest grade
ore that was ever found in Flor
ence.
Work has been commenced on
the $50 foot tunnel of the Tip Top
Gold Mining company and a large
force of men have been employed.
The Ozark mine which was re-
Gently sold is reported to have
been jumped. There is a good
deal of indignation over this &C
ton as the old miners know that
nothing will work more injury to
young and hopeful camp than a
few cases Of claim jumping. 1t
would seem that there are so many
good lodges to be found here as to
make such action even less ex-
cusable than in ordinary cases.

The wine in Switzerland is left in A..
casks till the following spring, and n
Is here that fermentation takes MAJ.
and the mout is converted into wilma
says the Cornhil Magazine. Ths
change begins almost immediately.
the liquid becomes turbid, carbol;o
acid gas is evolved, scum is thrown
up on the surface and the Temperance
rises. A climax is reached; the inten.
sity of the fermentation diminishe,
subsidies; the scum settles as a slimv
deposit at the bottom of the cask and
a clear yellow liquid is left above. The
grape sugar has almost entirely disan.
peared, a corresponding amount of al.
cohol has taken its place, and the sweet
taste of the mout has given place to thu
characteristic vinous flavor Of the
wine.
In the early stages Of fermentation
enormous quantities Of carbonic acid
gas are given off, and hugo fires ara
made in the cellars to drive it awav.
But ut the time 1 write of October.
1899, when the vintage was the finest
of the century, when barrels to hold
mout could not be purchased for love
or money, when every cellar on the
lake from Geneva to Villeneuve was
packed withs casks of mout, SO great
was the amount Of carbonic acid gas
in the air that, in spite of every precau.
ton, several deaths from suffocation
took place among the workers. In the
spring the wine is drawn off clear into
other barrels, then bottled; vim ordin-
aire is not bottled at all, but simply
drawn from the wood. This is the wine
sold at all the little wineshops with
which Switzerland abounds. It Ia
drawn off into quaint little glass de-
canters containing half liter each,
and SO served to the unhurrying Swiss,
who drink it round little tables under
the trees on the sunny pathways or oves
wooden benches inside the red-cur
tanned wineshops.
