Our esteemed townsman, Bud

We have credited him with three
months subscription to the Lyre.
Dawson Pettibone has finished
his new we'll in the rear of his
kitchen. 1t now has IL feet of
ice water in it and he mas washed
over $85, 900 in dust from the dirt

While Ike Sigman, the esteem
ed proprietor of the Big Strike
saloon, was fishing in the river
yesterday his boat struck a snag;
it proved to be a 600-pound mug
get. He will have it taken out
and will use it as a horse block
in front of his place. Ike is al
ways bound to have the best that
is going.
Large numbers of dead catfish
are seen floating in the river
day. When examined it is found
that every one of them has from
6 to 8 ounces of geld dust in its
stomach. This carelessness in
allowing loose gold to escape
into the river will ruin the fish
ing unless stopped.

tRobt. Ben in western Mining world.)

tRobt. Bell in Western Mining Worldly
The great Yellow Jacket mine,
with it's immense bodies of low
grade ore and 60-stamp mill, is
situated at Yellow Jacket creek,
so miles west of Salmon. This
mill has been idle for eight
months, owing to a miners strike
and for other reasons. The com
pany, however, keep a small
crew of men at work on the mine
doing development, and they
have now got some handsomere-
serves of ore in sight. The force
at the mine has been increased
to 40 men and the mill is now
being put in shape preparatory
to starting up on what is pre-
dicted will prove long continu-
ed and successful run.
The most fiattering quartz en-
terprise, and the one that prom
ises to prove of the most impor
tance to the country by reason
of its ore deposits being con-
tained in variety of formation
that has become such a famous
gold producer in Colorado's most
famous gold camp, is now being
inaugurated by Capt. Singiser
for syndicate of Harrisburg,
Pa, capitalists. The property
on which he is operating is
known as the True Blue group.
1t is situated on Silver creek, and
was purchased by the present
company from Senator George
L. Shoup. This group carries a
system of nearly vertical fissure
veins coursing east and west in
a well defined zone of phonolite,
that are faulted and crossed at
different angles by dykes of
greenish pyrolitic lava and dio-
ritic rock. The whole vicinity
for several miles on either side
of the vein is made up entirely
of igneous formations in endless
variety. The principal vein OF
this group is 5 to 30 feet thick
and comes up boldly above the
ground 90 feet high in places.
Crossing as it does deep, mar.
row canyon with high, precipi-
tous sides, it is being rapidly de-
veloped by adit tunnels driven
in on the vein from either side of
the canyon down near the creek.
The mountains are so steep that
these tunnels gain foot for foot
in face depth as the work pro-
crosses, which makes a rapid
and economical method of block
ing out ore. This property is
patented and covers 4, 900 feet in
length of the vein outcrop, which
has been carefully sampled al

short intervals, and is found to
carry strong pay chutes. that
yield average values of from $40
to 5000 per ton, 20 per cent of
which is gold and the balance
silver. The vein filling is a
quartz conglomerate, mixed in
places with a variety of soft
spars and pebbles of blue jaspery
quartz. The richest ore does not
pan a color in free gold, and can
only be distinguished from the
poor by the presence of specks
and threads of a dark mineral
that gives the ore a blue-black
cast, probably finely dissemin-
ated sulphate of silver. Speci-
mems of brownish translucent
quartz have been found in this
mine that did not show a color
of free gold, yet assayed as much
as $50, 900 per ton, probably some
form of tellurium. Some larger
average lots of the ore shipped
to Denver early this spring and
tested by several different pro-
cesses, and it was found to yield
the highest percentage of value
to the Clareci-Pellitan process,
and as a result of these investi-
cations there is now 300, 600
pounds of machinery scattered
along in freight teams between
the railroad and the mines, con-
sisting of heavy roller crushers
and all the necessary appliances
for Clareci-Pellitan cyanide
process plant, with capacity of
so tons a day. The company ex-
poets to make an average saving
of $50 per ton gold and 20 ounces
silver. This enterprise will be
watched with considerable in
terest, as it's success means the
development of very extensive
mineral region in the interior of
Idaho, about which very little is
known. The ores and formation
of the True Blue property bear a
striking resemblance to the De
Lamar mine in Owyhee county,
which has produced so many
millions, and may bear some
geological relation to it, for there
is an immense belt of these por-
phyry formations extending
northeast and southwest for rs
miles either way from the True
Blue.
