safe from slides, and intend to exploit
the property thoroughly.
The Red Cloud, it is said, will start
up in the spring with a large force
This property has laid idle also pending
litigation, which is about settled.
The Idaho Democrat, which has been
under bond, will start operatfon in a
few days. This property under the new
management which took hold a little
over year ago, has produced an inn
mense amount of ore for the work done,
while prior to that time it had SEEM
ingly strapped anyone who handled
it. This speaks we'll for its new super
intendent, Thomas Brennan
The old Star mine is being worked by
a crew OF five leasers, who are running
to tap the ore body from which so
much money was taken by leasers in
1892. This is tie property that was I'M
Ill July l operated by the Vanderbilt
company of your city. These parties
gave a mortgage of $4,000 on account
of purchase price, which defaulted and
the mortgage was foreclosed. To the
discredit of the Vanderbilt, many
MIXERS are holding timechecks, which
We're given payable July 10. They left
everybody in the lurch
The leasers anticipate tapping the
lead in March or April, and if it proves
as rich as the upper workings We're
and as shown III the bottom of the
shaft, the boys will be well paid for the
many hard knocks they are putting in.
The Wolftone mine, on Deer creek,
owned by A. H. Borman and w. T.
Riley of this city, now under lease to
parties here, is showing up several fine
bodies of ore. This is the property
from which over 100000 was taken
right off the grass roots in 80, and
since that time various parties have
worked it with Indifferent success. The
present leasers, however, having faith
in the ground, again took hold, and
from every indication their persever-
ence will be amply rewarded.
The Fair Emma, within a mile of
town, was about six weeks ago leased
by some young fellows here; two work
ing and two others putting UP grub
and supplies. A short time after work
was commenced a small streak of very
high-grade ore was struck. This has
been followed for about 40 feet, grow
ing in size as depth was attained, and
at the present time the boys have a
splendid showing, besides about
enough ore out for a shipment, which
will more than repay wages and ex-
pense of supplies. A cabin has been
erected, and it is intended to work the
property all winter. The two who are
putting up may be seen almost any
morn on their wheels going to the
property, returning in half an hour or
so. If the property continues to show
values with further development, it
will lend faith to numerous other prop
critics which are, you might almost say,
in the city limits, but in these proper
ties thus far little has been done save
"hen scratching" although some very
rich float has been found.
Finally, from a general view of the
mining operations, we have a much
brighter outlook than for years, and
indications are good for the product of
the forthcoming season to put HALEY
back at it's old place as one of the
heaviest producers of the state.
The HALEY hot springs property is
again in the hands of Robert Strahorn
of Chicago, Colonel Haight selling his
interest to Mr.. Strahorn. 1t is now I'M
der the management of Mr.. F. J. Short
of Chicago, an experienced hotel man,
who contemplates entirely renovating
the property and making some altera-
tons and repairs.
We welcome the new management,
but nevertheless feel genuinely sorry
to lose genial Colonel Haight, who, we
are informed, will in a few days leave
for Salt Lake, where he will make his
headquarters.
