A committee of citizens appeared
before the board and explained the
urgent need Of attention to the Elko

mended as being more desirable in

narrowly, from the burning building.
Reports from Beaver Lake indicate
work going on in all the mines. The
Copper Mountain shaft is just now be-
ing timbered, and a recent eXamina-
tion of the mine brings out the pro-

The Murray, Ida, Sun says: Sixty
pounds of gold was taken out of the
Buffalo Hin placer mines at Elk City,
in Idaho county. during 1897 This re-
port shows that the Elk City placers
are not exhausted, although work has
been carried on there since 1864. The
same conditions prevail on Prichard
and Eagle creeks. Mined, though. they
have been for fourteen years, on the
rims. the main channels are virgin
ground. Ii stands to reason that these
channels must be filled with gold.
The Idaho City World publishes this
interesting statement about the Lucky
Boy mine which is being worked by
Mr.. Reno of Pittsburg and others:
Hon. John Merrill of Placervllle. who
has been here for several days, re-
turned home last Saturday. Mr.. Mer-
rill visited the Lucky Boy while here,
and says the strike recently made in
the lower tunnel of that mine is bigger
than was at first reported. The ledge
Is three feet wide. Several stringers
running through It are rich and the
entire vein is good ore. This discovery
was unexpected, as the tunnel will
have to be driven about fifty feet fur
Their to reach the Lucky Boy ledge.
