him more fnyorably and that there Is
more activity there at this time than
at anytime since development was un

The election Of n mining recorder

Considerable development and pros.
pcoting work is being done In Snake
Creek district, Ia summit county, tho
present season. In times past ore fab
ulously rich In the precious metals has
been extracted from some OF It's mines
notably the Southern Tier Work on
that property was abandoned because
the vein had "faulted." Lower down
the Standardization appears 10 be In
place and II is from this point that big
things are expected the present sea-
son.
A rich gold strike has been made at
n point six miles southeast OF Neal
district, Idaho, Of which the oreis very
rich but the extent unknown. The
discovery was made by T.. NJ. Brown
and man named stanton, who took
n sample 10 Boise and had an assay
made which showed n value OF si96.
The result of the assay justified the
discoveries In thinking they had boz
nanza and they went back and marked
out IA claim, which they had not dono
before owing To the probability OF the
ore proving Of small value. The vein
is four or five feet wide and wcu de.

from So to $40 in gold to the ton.
The new gold camp of Wyoming,
Encampment, continues to give every
promise OF future greatness. A claim
owner brought to Carbon several pie
ces of spar as large as mans thumb
that were studded with gold and ono
nugget OF pure wire gold an inch lorg
and half an inch In thickness. Besides
these specimens, he had three.ounco
bottle nearly full Of nuggets that had
been picked out Of the spar, that wero
all the way In sire from grain OF
wheat To pea. These specimens arc
the finest and richest yet seen in this
country, and demonstrates beyond tho
question OF a doubt that the precious
metals are there In abundance. These
specimens came from less than four
feet from the surface OF tho ground.
There Is three feet OF this ledge matter,
which Is "Fleur SPAR and about
eighteen inches OF It yields nuggets Of
this character, though all Of the entire
