Northern Idaho Prosperity.
Walla Walla Statesman,

Max Baumister has return.
ed from a long trip to Salmon
river, Florence and Warrens
in northern Idaho. He went
in his team the greater part Of
the way until they reached
Mt. Idaho where he had to
leave his wagon and take to
horseback as the roads to the
mines were in bad condition.
He reports the crops on Camas
prairie and around the Nez
Perez country as exceeding
anything ever known and the
whole country a vast wheat
field averaging IS bushels Of
good wheat to the acre. In
the mines they are all at work
placer mining and getting out
quartz from a score of lodges.
The Poorman mill was going
in when he was at Mt. Idaho.
There was four inches of fresh
snow in Florence on July l..
In Warrens camp men are
hard at work and the Lower
Meadows is yielding a big
amount of gold by being
worked by a company with
machinery. George Riebold,
owner of the Little Giant
quartz mine is getting out lots
of high grade ore which has
vastly improved as depth is
attained and bids fair to be as
valuable a mine as any of the
gilt edged mines in Grass Val.
ley, California. He passed a
few days at the Hot Springs
kept by Fred Burgdorf, who
was reported murdered a few
months ago and who certainly
had a narrow escape as his
death was prearranged and
he only escaped by a mere &C.
cident. Fred has made many
improvements in his hot
springs and a lady's bath house
is one of them. 1t is now a
U. S. post Office with Fred
a postmaster, and a telephone
line to connect with Warren,
Florence and Mt. Idaho is
projected. Max brought back
some very rich ore from a
mine in which he is interested

looks of it a few runs from a

Its Extravagance.
According to the Vienna papers, the
domestic arrangements of the imperial
household Of Austria have recently been
subjected to reforms of the most radical
nature. Hitherto, it is stated, the waste
and mismanagement have been gigan-
tic, says the London News. Now, how
ever, many ancient usages-some OF
them dating from the time of Maria
Theresa - have disappeared forever,
Formerly the servants enjoyed many
perquisites, which amounted to q very
considerable sum during the year
There were "deputaten" or allowances
of wood, wine or ~venison. Each do
nestle, too, used to receive two large
wax candles daily in summer and three
in winter. In future the "deputaten'
will be abolished and there will be q
vigorously fixed weekly allowance OF
candles, which will not err on the side
OF extravaganza.
The liveries of the court servants have
also been the subject of reforms. Those
used to remain the property of the wear
ers when they were changed for a new
outfit. Now, they must be returned tt
the superintendent of the household
In past years the wine consumed by the
servants has amounted to some 5,OO(
liters a year. This, it is estimated, will
in future be reduced by two-thirds. The
custom of per hitting the servants te
appropriate and sell the remains of al
the household meals and banquets /.

casion of ceremonial banquets the per

amounted to 40 or so forms a head t.

cations ana are working upon
their claims. | have not had
the time or opportunity to in
spect many of the mines or
prospects and cannot give a
personal opinion even for what
little it might be thought
worth, regarding claims of
owners as to the merits of
their properties. |, however,
had the pleasure of making
the acquaintenance of the dis
coverer and developer of the
first quartz mine in the camp,
Mr.. George Riebold and went
down in his mine and looked
through its workings. 1t is
worked by an incline shaft to
depth of 200 feet, with a tun.
mel level to the surface at the
hundred foot level, through
which the ore is trammed to
5-stamp mill run by water
power. The ore is amalgamat.
ed in the battery and the pulp
runs over a short copper plate
and is SO perfectly free that
Mr.. Riebold assures me that
scarcely any values were
caught below the first foot.
The vein in the mine is a hard
gray quartz, flecked with dark
spots, and in much of it coarse
gold is visible. 1t is about 10
inches wide, and the chute full.
ly 900 feet in length. 1t look.
ed to me an ideal poor mans
property, and has proven to be
such because it has paid it's
own way and put its owner
on the sunny side of easy
street, without crowding work
upon it. | forgot to mention
that the name of the mine is
the Little Giant. 1t was dis.
covered in 1881. 1t is the
nearest mine to the town.
South and west of the Little
Giant is the Viola, upon which
extensive improvements are
now being made by the Chi.
cago Company owning it.
The ore in this vein is said to
be similar in character and
grade to that in the Little
Giant.
10 enumerate the other
prominent claims or mines in
camp would be more tedious
than interesting.
While Warren is about the
same altitude as Silver City,
the weather is very much col.
der. 1t is surrounded by
round top, but not very high
mountains, and in every di.
rection the country is covered
with a dense growth of tall,
straight and slender spruce
and black pine.

NOTES FROM WARREN.
The DeLamar Nugget Editor
Gives his Impressions Of
the Famous old Camp.

This camp, famous a quar-
ter of a century ago for its
placer mines and the excite.
ment here following so shortly
after the great rush to Flor.
ence in the early sixties, has
dragged along through a score
or more of years of almost
abandonment to again assume
evidences of a renewed but
soberer life. Up and down
the creek and in every gulch
are the marks of the bitches
dug years ago, and the great
bars of gravel which were
turned and washed by the en-.
ergetic men who blazed the
trails into these wilds, attest
to the enterprise of hosts of
hardy adventures. Like
many another "worked out"
mining district, a few of the
old timers still remain-just
enough of them to say grace
over a rechristening and to
welcome a return to life; and,
the Chinaman who can wash
out a substance and sometimes
enough to take him back to
the Flowery Kingdom a ma
bob, is still here with his pick
and shovel and primitive sluice
box. This with it's compile.
ment of weather beaten log
dwellings, stores, saloons and
other buildings, many of which
are empty, was the Warren of
a few short years ago. This
with the exception that the
buildings are again nearly all
occupied and a very few new
ones put up, and the one street
again quite alive with people,
with two fairly we'll stocked
stores, three saloons and a
couple of blacksmith shops is
the Warrens of today. Sew.
eral quartz veins have been
found. Some of them have
been developed into mines,
and though the veins are small
they are proving rich. Means
have been found to work
gravel deposits too deep under
water to be reached by the
early prospector and miner,
capital has been introduced
in the construction of dredges,
and both quartz and placer
mining promises to pay. By
delays in getting machinery
in here over the bad roads,
the Dredge Company, from
whose enterprise much is ex.
pected, is not in complete
operation yet. The eastern
capitalists who have made in.
vestments here are working
slowly, but apparently with
confidence in the future of the
properties. The business men
here appear to have confidence
in the future, the merchants
adding to their stocks, and
others planning or making i'm.
provements to meet expected
demands. The hills around
are full of prospectors, the
most of whom have made 10.
