There's Thought to Be n Good of Chance
of Making II n Cavalry Post.
Missoula, June CIT IL aid tonight
that the Fort Missoula proposition has
reached a situation hat is encouraging
and that there In now strong hope that
the post will be retained. Steps have
been taken by Missoula people who are
interested in h matter directly and
Indirectly, n the land upon which the
post Is located will soon be I'm such
shape that a clear title can be given 10
the government. This liz what ought
to have been done 10 years ago, and is
a step that has been strongly urged by
those who foresaw the possibility OF the
removal of the fort IL the government
was not given a title to the land. Part
of the ground is Northern Pacific land
inc the rest Is on a school section. If
the government can get the title. as
now seems probable. IT is likely that
Missoula will have the cavalry post so
much desired here for so long. The
government now owns n fine timber
reservation in connection with the post.
and there are quarters sufficient for
the accommodation of -four troops OF
cavalry. Those VINO are familiar with
the situation say that the post IT. GER
tain to be retained under these condi-
tions. and that there Is now no doubt
hat title will be guaranteed to the
government.

Idaho Placer Mining.

Wallace, Idaho, June 2l.-Parties up
from the Pierce City district, in the
south end of the county. report that
there is considerable interest being
manifested there i'm regard to dredging
plants to work the deep placers of the
ORC Elmo bottom. Several representa-
tives of Eastern capitalists have been
I'm there this spring looking over the
ground. and although no definite ar
engagements nave yet been made to
work anything, the universal opinion
has been that the district offers some
very great attractions in that line. and
there has been lots of ground located
during the past few months that would
be utterly worthless for any other pur-
pose. There are thousands of acres
along the bottom of the ORC Elmo tna
have never been touched owing to the
lack of drainage. and all through that
district the bed rock Is sofia neces-
AIRY condition for successful dredging.
Power. too, is cheap. as below the ORC
Elmo basin the stream runs for miles
through a canyon where the fall is
heavy, furnishing excellent facilities for
generating power to be transmitted to
the d~redgers in the form of electricity.
1t Is claimed hat the ORC Elmo has
more ground that would pay for dredg-
ing than any other district in the state
of Idaho. although Boise Basin has
been considered a very inviting field
for that form OF mining
The placer yield this spring has been
unusually heavy. owing to the cool
weather bringing the water down slow
ly and giving the small miners a long
run. Since the placer season closed
there has been considerable prospecting
for quartz. the district being but inn
perfectly explored for gold in hat form
as yet.
