Lander, Wyo., March Bob Marin,
lessee of the Carisa mine, at South Pass
City. south of here, which is owned by
George w Keel of Salt Ike, has
struck it rich Last week. in drifting
on the vein he opened up an-ore chute,
or chimney. as it IS called, of almost
unparalleled richness. The chimney
is between nine and ten feet wide, but
just how far it will continue at this
width is not yet made manifest. With
no better light than ''tallow Dip" the
blotches Of the yellow metal can be
plainly seen all over the face Of the
cut for the full width Of the vein
In assaying such rock with a small
sample no average can be determined,
as one or more pieces of free gold are
certain to be in even minute sample,
which gives figures so exorbitant as to
preclude belief, consequently your cor
respondent will not give them, but a
large sample taken from the latest part
of the dump quartered down, gives a
fire assay determination Of s2S3.72.
Great excitement prevails here and
those holding claims are making
preparations for the campaign against
the golden deposits.

OREGON PLACER MINING.
Salt Lakers Owners of Extensive and
Valuable Diggings.

A deed has been filed at the court
house in Pendleton, says the Democrat
of Baker City, Ore, which conveys val
VA BILE placer mining properties located
in the John Day country. The transfer
indicates that the statements concern
ing activity during the coming season
were based on fact. Such activity will
be seen throughout all the country
south of this city. The transfer in
question was made for consideration
of so, 000 from Eli E. Chamberlain and
J. NJ Ashton to the Western Mining
company and conveys mining proper
ties on the north fork of the John Day,
in French bar, Dunn bar, Texas bar,
Crescent bar, together with the water
rights which go with them. The COM
pany having bought those extensive
properties and water rights, prepare
tions are being made TO enter upon
active operations as soon as spring
opens up. Several carloads of machin-
cry have been sent out to these mines
during the winter, and several more
will be sent in a short time.
In the same district Salt Lake COM
pany of Mormons has been buying UP
every claim that can be bought. The
Salt Lake concern controls between tell
and twenty miles of mining and water
rights along the north fork. Last sea-
son the company operated their mines
and employed a large force of men in
constructing bitches and fiuming, so
that this year the operations will be
upon a much larger scale.

A miner just from Texas bar tells
how they have been substituting ar

for warm spell which never came. The
placer miners had been operating, and
before cleaning up, severe cold weather
came on the camp, and further work
was stopped The miners ran short of
money and needed it rather badly for
current expenses and supplies. Two of
them conceived the idea of "manufac-

waited long for warm wind to melt

that large amount of water could be

the sluice boxes, and, with the ex-

the cleanup was accomplished. So soon
as they had washed out enough gold
dust to purchase the necessary sup
plies and tools for the winter work, the
artificial method was abandoned and

THE SEVEN DEVILS COUNTRY.
Talk of Railroad Building Into That
Region

1t is almost an assured fact that a
railroad will be built this summer into
the Seven Devils country, Ida, and,
in speaking of the enterprise, the
Weiser Signal speaks of the minerali
cation of that region as follows:
The objective point of the railway
doubtless, is the great copper district in
the southern portion of the Seven Dew
lis range. It has been accessible for
years by, a fair wagon road most of the
way, leading up from the town of
Weiser along Mans creek, then to
Middle valley and Council valley, on
the Weiser river. Thence UP Hornet
creek across to Indian creek to the
northwestward,t to the foot of the mount
aims. The valleys contain as productive
farms and orchards as can be found
anywhere in the country.
Monument mountain, on which the
copper deposits or veins are situated,
has an altitude of probably 5000 feet,
and is about five miles in length from
north 20 south, and three miles in
width. The territory over which the
copper manifests itself is equal to
about five or six square miles. and is
about four miles distant from Snake
river.
The crown and the northern and
eastern sides of the mountains are
composed of a gray eruptive granite,
considerably .decomposed in places
Here and there are found remnants of
limestone stratum. The base, or
rather about three-fourths of the west
and south slopes of the mountain are
covered with porphyry, and the foot
hills sloping away to the Snake river
are composed &c the same material.
Between the porphyry and granite is
an intercalated stratum of Nitrous
limestone of variable thickness, and at
places it disappears entirely. 1t is
Eext TO this limestone or replacing it
entirely, that the Seven Devils copper
vein is located. On the northern end,
at the Peacock mine, the vein crops at
an altitude of $500 feet. From this
point it takes a course a trifie west of
south, then south, and then southeast,
swinging in a semi-circle around the
mountain, and showing itself over a
course of about five miles in length,
In one place (the Peacock mine), the
ore body, as exposed, occupies nearly
horizontal position, while a mile south
the vein was found standing vertical.
and between lime and granite. Still
further along on the vein southwark,
probably a mile distant, a tunnel driven
in a northeasterly direction disclosed
lime, porphyry, lime, ore and lime
again.
Associated with the ore are vast
bodies of garnets, doubtless resulting
from an alteration of the accompany
ing limestone; also iron, quartz, calc
spar, amphibole and chrysOlite.

ARIZONA COPPER PRODUCERS.
What is Being Done at the Famous
United Verde

a friend of The Herald's, residing in
who is interested in copper mining over
the line in Arizona, sends in the follow
ing clipping regarding some of the rich
copper producers of that state:
have just visited two. of the greatest
and richest copper mines of the world
at Jerome and Bigbee. says Frank
Jones in the Los Angeles Herald. To
get to one, that of Jerome-I had to
ride over the crookedest little narrow
guage railroad imaginable, a 26-mile
road rejoicing in the high sounding
title OF the United Verde and Pacific.

freight cars can almost light his cigar

train ever manages to get around these
curves IS mystery to everybody save
Superintendent John Burns and Con-
ductor Russell, yet every day sees
more precious freight go over this little
mountain railroad than perhaps any
whole world. 1t is said of the United
Verde mine that its ore is Of such rich

permitted by northumberland w. A.

Mr.. Giroux to ever descend into the

the nast year as much as 81, SOC, 900 of
gold was taken from this famous cop

1000 600 pounds monthly and it is be-

PIONEER SKETCHES.
Luck that Attended Prospecting in
Early Days.


Late in the fall of 1861 Tom Wade and
Charley Gordon, two California miners of
experience, arrived in Florence, says the

supplied with provisions and decided to
stay in the camp through the winter

The partners prepared a rocker and begun
operations in very few days. The winter
came on but they worked away under
the snow and down in the ground where
the water flowed from a spring and did
not freeze. They found very rich pay
streak and worked diligently regardless
of unfavorable conditions. In the winter,
however the weather was extremely cold
and the water froZe into ice all over the

not be moved There was the pay streak
with glittering nuggets. Even with the
ice clinging to the rocker. the dipper and
to the clothing of the workman he could

was unbearable. 1t was decided that
warm water could be utilized To meet
this suggestion the camp was secured for
a kettle or other vessel that could be
used to heat the water. The largest YES

price was $50. The yellow dust was
WelSneQ out ana the ledky kettle was con-

was arranged and the hot water process
was inaugurated. One man fired and
poured hot water upon the rocker while
the other washed the rich dirt. This
process was followed until spring, when
sluices were put in position. After that
five men were employed. Gold was then
cleaned up as fast as one man could make
buckskin purses in which to store it
away.
