an extended prospecting trip in the
Sheep mountain country, about 225

rienced no difficulty in making the
trip with team. Mr.. Fitzwater
who has had considerable expert
ence as a miner in the mountains Of
Idaho, considers the Sheep mount,
ain and Seafoam country the great
est mineral belt yet discovered il
Idaho. The lodges are large, wei
defined and very rich in lead, cop
per, silver and gold, and timber
and water in abundance. They dis
covered and located claims on fiv,
new lodges. From one of them Mr.
Fitzwater has a specimen of golc
, and silver ore the assay value o
hich is a little less than $1,000
per ton. The groupings of one gra,
, copper ledge show a distance of 30l
, feet in width and is a mass of ricl
ore. In the other lodges silver pre-
} dominates and they are very rich
as may be seen by a glance at tn
: specimens brought back by thes
gentlemen. A party of miners fror
) Bonanza City have built 4 to-
! smelter at Sheep mountain thi

, lion day and night. Its capacity
e to be greatly increased before ar
