The Salmon river country in Idaho
seems to be giving up its golden treas
ures in abundance. The Grangeville
Free Press tells of two prospectors who
have come in from the middle fork OF
the river, section that has never been
explored, bringing a. quantity of gold
taken out there in a few weeks work
The amount of their clean up was close
to $1,000. An interesting feature of the
matter is that this gold is washed from
the decomposed surface of a mountain
which they declare to be all ore. The
mountain is porphyry The gold is
found all through it. They do not
claim the rock is high grade, but they
assert that it is all good pay. They
have been at work there several sea-
sons, making small clean ups each year.
They have taken up lode claims and
are working the surface as placers.
The mountain they call Thunder noun
tain. The stream on which they are
located is Mule creek. It empties into
Monumental creek, and the latter into
Big creek, which flows into the middle
fork. of the Salmon. If the mountain is
anything like as rich as the men rep
resent, the discovery is one of the most
important ever recorded in the west.

Nine-tenths of the sickness of wo-
men comes from some arrangement of
organs distinctly feminine. Nine-tenths
of this sickness can be cured and
avoided by the use of DR.. Pierce's Fav-
orite Prescription. There is nothing
miraculous about the "Favorite Pre-
scription "-nothing supernatural. 1t is
the result Of rational thought and
study applied to medicine. 1t has been
prescribed by DR. Pierce Chief Con-
sulting Physician to the Invalids' Ho-
tel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo. n.
Y, for over 30 years. It has made thou
sands of women healthy and happy,
and has brought joy to thousands of
homes. In female Weakness it acts
directly and strongly in healing and
strengthening the parts that are most
severely tried 1t clears out impuri-
ties and promotes regularity at all
times. To prospective mothers it is a
priceless boon as, if taken during preg-
nancy, it so prepares the system for
delivery as TO make labor almost pain
less, besides shortening the period of
confinement.

cRocKER CREEK DISTRICT.
An Eastern Oregon Country Making
a Fine Showing.


A correspondent of the Baker City
Democrat says there are four mills
running in the vicinity of Bourne, in the
| Cracker Creek district.
There are four mills in the vicinity
of Bourne. The E. & E. company en-
ploys about 100 men, The mill has 20
stamps and put out about six tons of
concentrates every "a hours. There is
no report made of the actual output
of gold, but it is evident that the bus
mess is paying from the fact that the
mills have been running night and day
for three years, and only stop for the
replacing of worn out stamps and dies
or for necessary repairs. Both water
and steam power are used, and l,2UU
cords of wood are consumed in a year.
A portion of the ore is hoisted from
2o0-foot shaft, and there is also the
expense of keeping the mine clear OF
water Although no report is given out
it is believed the gold product is at
least 100000 a month, and at this rate
one mill alone would in the course of
few months equal the first output from
the Klondike.
The other large mill is the North Pole.
which extracts the gold by the cyanide
process The mill handles Is tons of
ore daily and employs from 20 to 80
men. There are two other mllls-the
Columbia and the Ohio-and work is
under way for mill at the Climax. The
mills are located from a quarter of
mile to a mile from the town of Bourne.
The principal gold bearing ledge of
that district extends across Cracker
creek and reaches the top OF the divide
between Cracker and Rock creeks On
the upper portions of this ledge are 10
Gated the Yankee Jim and Oregon Clip
per claims, the former being owned by
Andrew Hansen and W. n. Proebstel,
and the latter by Mr. Hansen, individ-
ually. The Oregon Clipper claim faces
toward Rock creek and is now APP
proachable by a wagon road recently
completed A good deal of develop
ment work has been done on these
claims, and there is every indication
that they are as rich in mineral as
those further down the ledge, where the
mills are crushing out gold by the ton.

IDAHO MINING.
How a, Man Works the Tailings From
the De lamar Mill.

How a, Man WORKS the Ia1l1nSS FROM
the De Lamar Mill.
The Idaho Avalanche says the best
mine in Oyhwee county is owned by
John Scales. His mine is at old Wagon
town, about two miles below De Lamar
He has a body of ore that runs 81 per
ton. and has lots of it-being 10000
and $50, coo tons and the ore keeps COM
ing. Mr.. Scales is not at the expense
of mining and crushing his ore. 1t
floats down and piles up at no expense
whatever, and the cost of getting it
into his mill is only II cents per ton.
Mr.. Scales has a big reservoir, and for
six years has been corralling the tall
ings from the De Lamar mill. 1t is
said that by the action of the chemi-
Gals, air and water, the pulp, by the
time Mr. Scales works it, gives up its
remaining value With scarcely any loss
at all. What is one mans loss is an
other mans gain" is amply illustrated
in the enterprise into which Mr.. Scales
has embarked, and this idea, conceived
and worked into a gratifying success,
is evidence that Mr.. Scales is very
evenly balanced. He estimates that
millions of dollars have gone down Jor-
dan creek, never to be recovered. Mr..
Scales mill has no stamps-all his ma
chinery for working the pulp being
eight pans and four settlers The cost
of working is 81 per ton. The machin-
cry is run by a siX-foot Pelton wheel
under 40-foot pressure. The water is
conveyed to the wheel through a %
inch pipe. Mr.. Scales has been running
his mill three seasons. He has a suffi-
Gent amount of water to run the mill
for about FIVE months each year. He
works % tons of ore per day. Each of
the pans hold a ton of ore. Mr. Scales
will next year put in new machinery
double the capacity now employed. He
will put in six combination pans, and
two years hence will put in Il more
pans and a larger wheel.

Silver reached the low point of 51h
cents yesterday and thus the gloom
that has Swallowed the once smiling
countenances of the silver mine owners

heve the bottom has not been reached

said of many of the freight lines of the
west
The freight rates paid for teaming
in this section of the country are con-
s3dered very fair. and do not need to
be altered on account of bad roads.
There has been but one occasion in ten

freight was then moved on days wages

Freighting is distinct business, just
as much so as the mercantile institu-
ton is. man without brains can no
more succeed in the freighting bust
ness than he can in the mercantile af-
fair. The only chance in favor OF
freighting is that he can get into il
with less capital. A man with brains
will not always succeed in freighting.
To all those who are casting a longing
glance toward Milford, and are figur-
ing on coming here to enter the race
as teamster. treighter etc, the follow
ing information will be worth a dollar
per line. if taken correctly:
All of southern Utah and a great
scope of Nevada gets freight by team
from Milford. This is an immense
business. There are now on this road
So teams, % of which are four or six
horse outfits. The balance are two
horse teams. At the present they are
not working half time. They pay ex-
leaving Milford on a Monday morning
with. 10000 pounds of freight for De
Lamar, New, would reach that point
the second Tuesday night, eight days
journey. He would then unload and
start back empty the next day at noon,
and five days would bring his outfit
nicely back tic Milford. For this trip
he would get 1925. His expenses would
be $3.50 while on the road. The wecr
and tear of his outfit is at least So
and often it will reach $25. When he
gets back to Milford he lays here from
three to five weeks before his turn
comes around again. This, is one of
the misfortunes arising from the for
warding companies being too tender
hearted and permitting surplus teams
to enter the field. The months lay
over at Milford is not so expensive as
the same length of time on the road,
because the stock can be fed cheaper,
but when the freighter finds himself
again loaded and ready to move out
his bill has run up to about the same
figures as for the two weeks he was
on the road, which is $3.50. The two
$47.50's and the wear and tear expense
foots up to a little more than 800.
If everything has gone well with the
freighter he has now cleaned up nearly
$25 for his wages and that of his outfit
for period ranging from five to six
weeks. There is not one single outfit
on the road that has beat these figures
during the past II months. OF course
they are not working more than half
the time, but the expenses go on all the
time. These figures are not a theory
but are taken from records which show
the business correctly.
Many men are turning toward this
part of Utah for the purpose of enter
ing the field as freighters, and the
business at the present will not justify
such a movement. A great many of
the freighters owe yet for part of their
outfit having bought it on time. to
make monthly payments. These
freighters are of course, given prefer
ence when loading, and this will shut
out new men who attempt to get in on
the freight business.
