Discovery of Asbestos.

Mr.. X. Williams, q late arrival
from Rossland, while prospecting
on the South fork of Clearwater
opposite the Dewey mine, discov-
cred an immense deposit of asbestos
which he traced and located for a
distance of 1900 feet. The de-
pOsit seems to consist of a blanket
Of great but unknown width. Its
commercial value at this writing is
unknown. A good quality of
asbestos such as is used in manu-
featuring fire-proof articles COM
mands from SIG to $24 per ton ut
the factories. A superior quality
is known tO exist on the west side
of the Little Salmon in this county
but owing to lack Of transportation
facilities for marketing the product
it has no commercial value at pres
ent. With the completion Of the
north and south Idaho railroad
these deposits will be only two
miles from the track and we expect
to see a large industry develop there
in the fullness Of time.

Hiram Titman Returns.

Among the arrivals today was
Hiram Titman, well known here in
early days as the proprietor of the
Jersey house and for years before
that as one Of the oldest pioneers of
this part of Idaho. He was locat-
ed on Salmon river at the time of
the Indian outbreak in 1877, and
had all his property destroyed and
cattle killed by the hostiles. Later
he bought the Jersey house from
the late w. G. Pearson and con-
Quoted that popular hostelry with
great success down to 1886, when
he sold to Capt. VIM. Hawley, now
of White Bird, and removed with
his family to Yaquina, Oregon.
For the past seven years he has
been travelling extensively and is
now back on his old stamping
ground to spend the summer in the
mountains. Barring the wearing
of spectacles he looks as young as in
the old days, and despite his IA
years. absence from these parts his
old friends readily recognize his
familiar countenance and he has
had as cordial a welcome as anyone
could wish.

A deal has been closed by which
the Occident group of mines at Elk

S35, 900, g., 900 hard cash of which
amount has already been paid.
This group comprises four claims,
namely, two extensions of the Oc-

New Chum. 1t is stated by At
torney Jacques, who engineered the
deal, that the property shows work
to the amount of $4,000 done
upon it. This work includes 80
foot shaft and a so or 90 foot drift.
The contract calls for $500 worth
of work to he done every month

| A number of circumstances hav,
combined to turn the attention o
capitalists to the district in which
the Occident group is situated
Its accessibility greatly facilitate
mining operations on an extensive
scale; there are no reserve restric

dance of lumber and water. More
over, the character of the men con

Another HUMP Purchase,

That experienced mining men
should be steadily purchasing
property at the Hump is a
most encouraging signs that the
great camp is suffering no discount
in the minds of those capable OF
judging. Actions speak louder
than words.
A deal was made two or three
days ago by which J. j. Bennett,
who had a fractional interest in the
Big Buffalo, acquired the whole
mine for the sum of $4,000. Mr.
Bennett declines to state whether
the purchase was made on his owr
behalf or on that of the De Lamar
syndicate.
