CLEARWATER RIVER PLAcERs.
Gold Seekers Changing the Channel
of the Stream.

Few people know that Clearwater river
has been turned from its channel by
eager gold-seekers. says the Tribune,
of Lewiston. Ida: yet that is just what
the Lapwai Placer Mining company mas
done - point about 80 miles above
Lewiston. The company has thrown
up a dam 225 feet long and turned the
river into an old bed until the present
bed can be prospected and worked.
Early in the 'T0s this ground was
known as the Webfoot Bar. The pros
pectors took out $4,000 in one summer,
when they were driven out by the In
dams. and they have never since al
lowed white men to linger there until
after the reservation became pubic DO
main. Since then the bar has been
nibbled at by several persons, each or
whom banned out. So to Sc a day. Re
Gently the property came into the hands
of Agent Fisher, who let the agency
officials in with him, and they are now
getting the property in shape for eX-
tensiye workings. The old river bed IS
believed 10 contain the richest gravel,
and one purpose in turning the river
unon i is TO clear off the debris and
loose ground that has been accumulat-
ing for years, and thereby save hand
ling a tremendous amount OF rock ana
waste soil. The new channel is also
thought to be heavily charged with
gold. and the changing of the river Will
allow this bed to be worked at the
same time. There is some fear that
this springs high water may sweep the
dam away, but if it does not there Will
be some great clean-ups this summer.

noting progress on these and other
properties.
Developments at the Daisy since last
issue have been encouraging AT the
23O-foot level of the incline drifts were
started north and south. and Tuesday
an average sample of the face of the
south drift gave returns of 80. while
the north drift face made returns of

shows that there is a good-sized vein
of the ore at that depth. The Bereha

The recent strike in the south drift OF
the South Swansea is a big thing. out

of the vein the assays show the fol-
lowing values: Thirty-five per cent

in Tintic today presents better pros
poets than the South Swansea. and its
continuation as dividend payer is as

n. W. McChrystal, who is in charge
of the work on the Eagle, states that
they are cleaning up and getting the
mine in shape, and at the same time
sampling the ore in sight in different
portions of the workings. 1t is believed
that there is a large quantity OF low
grade ore which can be successfully
milled and H. C. Bacorn was over
Wednesday looking it over with view
TO running it through the Sioux mill.
1t is reported that Manager Johnson
of the Gold Point mine at Sunshine
has secured a lease and bond on the
Gold Blossom mine, northeast OF Eu-
reka The Gold Blossom sprung into
fame about five years ago by a discov-
cry of rich ore made in the property,
but has never amounted to much, prin-
cipally, we believe. on account of its
not being inteligently worked. 1t is
regarded by many as the making of a
rich mine with proper development.
We are unable to learn the particulars
of the lease and bond.

MINING IN MEXICO.
American Capital Finding Good In
Yestment There.

J. r. Markley is home again after a
trip of several months through Mexi-
CO, combining business with pleasure,
says the Butte Miner. OF the mining
Industry of Mexico, Mr.. Markley said
yesterday:
You would be surprised to know
how much capital from this side of the
line is going into the mines of old
Mexico. From the peculiar conditions
that exist in that country there are
many good opportunities for mining in
vestments and they are being rapidly
taken advantage of by outside capital.
Many American capitalists are invest
ing in Mexican mines and lands and
while l was in the City of Mexico three
big mining properties and 100000 acres
of land passed into the hands of
American investors.
Zone of the main features of the
mining industry of Mexico, which
opens a peculiarly good field for
capital, is the fact that only primitive
methods have obtained in this sort of
work in Mexico in the past. The Mexi-
cans have used no modern mining ma
chinery until it has been recently in
troduced by outside mining men who
are becoming interested in the mines
Of the country.
Some of the silver and gold mines
of this wonderful country are known
to have been worked TO supply gold
and silver for the use of the Monte
zumas and the great treasurers in gold
and silver that were given to CorteZ
and his conquering Spaniards came
from some of the mines which were
long since abandoned but are now be-
ing opened up again by foreign capital.
IN the old times the regular method
pursued in mining in Mexico was a
system of gophering when compared
with modern methods. Ladders were
used and the ore carried up from the
mine on the backs of poems. In this
way only surface work comparatively
was done as they had no hosting ap-
partus or pumps to keep the mines
from filling up with water
AT the present time American and
English capitalists are buying UP these
old abandoned properties and clearing
away the rubbish and sinking down to
the lower levels. In many cases these
mines which were long ago worked out
as far as the Mexican idea of mining
went. are good paying properties and
are making money rapidly for their
owners and operators. | look to see
the production of both gold and silver
in Mexico double annually for some
time to come as the metal is there and
developments are comparatively only
started up

It was a dull day on the floor of the
Mining Exchange yesterday. and While
most of the stocks held their own IN
the bidding, the record OF sales maze
was very small.
In the listed securities not single
transfer was noted, and While there
were plenty of sellers in the pit, there
were few of the shares that talled 10
score in the bidding. Ajax maintained
its own in good shape, although the
bids did not come quite up to the clos
ing quotation Of the day before There
was some activity in the bidding and
offering when Bullion-Beck was called,
but the stock has experienced heavy
slump, and in some quarters 1t IS be-
Iieved that it will go still lower. DAILY
and DAILY West were very quiet at the
usual figures. No change was notice
able in Galena, and Geyser was firm
at the quotation Of the previous call.
Mercur was weak in bidding, but
strong in the offerings, and there was
a wide gap between buyer and seller
There was a good demand Tor Nam
moth but at a decline, and 1t is the
opinion of the dealers that this stock
will experience a break within the next
day or so and go still lower. GeySer-
Marion was sohd at the going figures,
while Utah drew out earnest inquiry
at 81
The unlisted securities seemingly had
the call on the regular board stocks
yesterday and the demand for these
was quite active. Swansea headed the
list OF ready sellers and chronlcled no
ticeable advances in the olddlng.
Homestake was firm at cents bid and
9 asked Dalton was favorite and
u
a slight gain over recent quotations.
Little Pittsburg was also very firm and
closed strong at 315 cents bid and 3%4
cents asked. Northern Light developed
an upward tendency and recorded
sales at 79 cents, and the STOCK was
firm at the close at the quotation CIV
en-. below. Buckeye disclosed consider
able activity in the bidding and offer
ing and the stock made decided gains.
There was a brisk demand for Sun
beam and this security is slowly forg-
ing TO the front. Shoebridge Bonanza
made a good showing at 1919 cents bid
and 10 asked, while Triumph, which
was called for the first time, was firm
in the bidding at 10 cents with offer
ipgs at Is.
After the call there was some dis
cussion regarding the failure of one of
the brokers to deliver the 200 shares OF
Chloride Point stock sold the day be-
fore, but the matter was referred to
the governing board.
It is stated that when the buyer of
this stock asked for its delivery he was
presented with an order signed by the
Chloride Point company promising TO
issue TO the person named in the order
zoo shares of stock some time in July
next The buyer refused to take this
order, as he claimed that he was buy
ing stock, and not orders for stock for
future delivery. The difficulty will be
settled by the governing board.
The transactions of the day we're as
follows:

The figures aDONe emphasize OllS AT =,
and that is the remarkable amount OF
ore mined in this district per man en-

instance With only 100 men employed,
including shift bosses, engineers. min

age of $50 tons are mined and placed

record.
