Lewiston Tribune.
The old mining camp OF Warrens
which was discovered by James War
rens and party in 1861, has probably
produced more ore from the same area
than any mining camp in the north
west Its placers in the early days of
its history we're shallow ground, re-
quiring very little sluicing Off before
reaching the pay deposit, which was
shoveled into sluice boxes by hand
The first discovery OF gold in this
camp was on Summit Flat, which is
at an elevation Of about 1000 feet
above sea level AS soon as the news
was spread that the camp OF Warrens
was struck, from 3, 600 to 8, 900 men
rushed in from Florence, Elk City and
Orofno camps, which were near by.
All the creeks and gulches were
claimed and few hill claims were
taken. The camp was uniformly good,
but the richest pay was found on
Warrens creek from the old town OF
Richmond, ut the mouth of Slaughter
creek, down Warrens creek to the old
milk ranch, distance of about four
miles. At the upper end OF this pay
streak of gravel deposit, it was from
5 to 7 feet deep, but became deeper
until as it approached the milk ranch
it reached depth of 20 feet to bed
rock from the surface and at this
point the creek bottom widened oul

and difficult to get drainage AS i

Telephone Talk .

When j. a. Czizek was in Weiser
before going into Warrens, he dis
cussed telephone with Frank j.
French, and Czizek decided to go into
Warrens and try and raise means to
put line from Council to the best
gold camp in the state French and
others were to see after connecting
from Salubria to Council, thence to
Seven Devils. A gentleman named
Bowen was in Salubria last Thursday
and telephoned down to French that
Bowen had raised within $500 OF the
amount necessary to build from
Council to Warren. We have talked
on this extending proposition before
and pointed out it's advantages and
the ease with which it could be done.
We are doubtful about its being re-
allied Just now, before some other
things have developed, but hope so.
1t grows more necessary and import

country each season. If it ever gets
