ioated down the Salmon for
hundreds of miles, because they
were then thought worthless. If
the tailings had been saved the
dump would now have made
quite a bonanza. The company
has q large force getting in wood
for fuel and timbers for the
mines. When cold weather
comes the mill will have to close
for the winter, because it cannot
be operated in freezing weather
under the wet crushing and con-
centrating system now used.
UP THE JORDAN.
Some work on the Black mine
and mill, a good strike eight
miles up Jordan creek of quartz;
some improvements on the Wash
ington in placer mining, and a
number of good showings rec
entity in various prospects around
Custer and Bonanza tell the pres
ent story of Yankee Fork. Some
day there will be far more activ-
ity in mining in that country.
PLACER MINING
is going on as usual in Stanley
Basin. Charles Crane of Salt
Lake is in the Seafoam district,
doing considerable work in open
ing up large bodies of low grade
ores, and his operations are at
tracing considerable attention
among the people of Custer
county. The only drawback to
the district talked of is the dis
lance to railway transportation
and lack of wagon roads.
Custer county used to be a
mining county almost exclusive
ly. 1t is fast becoming a farm
ing district, especially it's val
leys. Both Big and Little Lost
river valleys are pretty we'll COW
cred now with ranches, and new
ones are all the time being open
ed by newcomers. The Pah-
samori valley has ranches from
one end to the other, a distance
of nearly 100 miles. In all these
valleys there are large crops
this season, and could the farm
ers have such markets as the
mining camps used to furnish,
they would all soon become rich.

The true story of those 27e
days of suffering by Greely's
heroic little band of explorers in
the Arctic region has been told
by General Greedy himself, for
the first time, for the October
Ladies' Home Journal. Fo1
years General Greedy has kept
an unbroken silence about his
fearful experience and that OF
his companions, as they dropped
dead one by one at his side, and
it was only after the greatest
persuasion that the famous ex-
plorer was induced to write the
story.
