leaving placers on the fiat top of
mountain, as in the case at Florence.
Nature was wise in most of her acts
and, in leaving these valuable mead
ows high up, provided for their easy
future working, and, at Warren
Meadows, Sesesh Meadows, and else
where, the waters which meander
through them at lower ends pitch off
at acute angles downward, giving
huge dumpway for the millions and
millions OF tons Of gold bearing gravel
above. Many q creek in this region
has been mined with rich returns at
the most convenient points. But
other placers known to be rich have
never been worked owing to the nec-
essity for capital to construct expen-
sive bitches to obtain water, or bed
rock fumes to carry off the tailings.
Many promising sections have hardly
been prospected. For years miners
have been working the rich bars Of
the Salmon and at Warrens millions
have been taken from the placers by
the simple methods OF earlier days,
and now the more magnitudnious un
dertakngs are being handled by
wealthy companies with excellent re-
turns. Plenty of room for more

fine gold mines have been opened
Around the mountain chain to the
left are the Carbonate Hill and Hid
anbrand districts, very rich in gold,
with considerable silver; these being
on the north side of the Seven Devils
peaks. Before going further it might
I've mentioned that in this, the Seven
Devils district, few years ago Mr..
Neville, an expert chrystalographer
in the employ of the government,
found an unknown mineral which he
named powelite, after Major Powell,
of the u s. Geological Survey. As
far as the writer knows its value has
never been determined.
We have now travelled along this
great belta distance of about seventy
miles from Mineral, the starting
point, and this whole territory is lib

general description OF this wondeaful
section.
Beginning at the silver camp of
Mineral, in Washington County, and
extending along the range of noun
tains on the east side of Snake river,
and on the western side Of said coun
ty, to and beyond Warren, in Idaho
county, taking in Crooks Corral and
Florence to the north west, and Long
valley to the south east, with Rapid
river, Secesh creek and the tributa-
ries through its center, lies one OF the
grandest mineral belts in North
America, containing almost every
metal known to the miner, placer and
quartz mines, and covering an area
of 5000 square miles or upwards
Its north eastern end is lost in the
great mountain wilderness of Central
Idaho, which, so far rs any amount
of prospection goes, is practically un-
touched and might contain wealth to
crush a Kondke or shame Alladin.
A great part of the mountain fast
ness of the central part of the state
has been but little penetrated save by
a few Nomadic Hunters.
At Mineral, the predominant met
al is silver, with II strong sprinkling
of copper in many of the mines
There are Two smellers located here
which have been idle for three years
There are many patented mines here
and the average Of the camp is abou
20 to 25 ounces Of silver to the ton
