surrounding it.
The gravel is especially adapt
ed for dredging. One of the
modern endless chain bucket
dredges of the Bucyrus type,
would handle as much of this
ground in a week as is now
washed in a whole season, with
the present imperfect hydraulic
plant with which it is operated,
and it will doubtless fall into the
hands of capitalists who will OPP
crate it by this method.
This property is developed
with a bedrock flume 3 feet wide
and 30 inches deep, and over a
mile long, together with all the
usual appliances of a small hyd-
raulic plant. The water supply
averages not to exceed 500 min
ers inches for three months, and
does not exceed $50 inches dur
ing the lowest stages, which is
ample, however, to supply the
requirements of large size
dredge.
The pay-streak is from 20 to
$50 feet wide, and 10 to Is feet
deep, on soft granite and por-
phyry bedrock, and averages 80
cents per cubic yard. A most
interesting feature of this prop
erty is the fact that in each
seasons cleanup, there is always
found associated with the black
sands, considerable quantities of
very high grade cinnabar ore, in
particals of all sizes from that of
a grain OF wheat, up to several
pounds weight. This ore assays
from 80 to 80 per cent. quick
silver, and judging from the
conformation of the country,
must have its source in vein of
this mineral within mile of the
present face of the Challis placer
cut.
This rich cinnabar float is
widely distributed over quite an
extensive area of this basin
country, below a certain line,
and points to an extensive vein
or deposit of this useful metal.
The whole surrounding basin
country is covered by a light
gold bearing gravel debris evil
IDENTIFY produced by the erosion
of a system of quartz porphyry
vein which have recently been
discovered, and is apparently the
true source of all the placer gold
OF this district, as the quality of
the gold found in the veins is
the same as that found in the
placers. 1t is worth from SO to
Sl3 per ounce, and carries a
natural alloy of silver. A group

Relative to the alleged alliance
between Great Britain, the Unit
cd States and Germany, it may
be observed that this country
may be willing to lend a hand
once in a while, but playing the
catspaw is hardly in keeping
with American character and
tradition, and the little clique,
controlling our foreign affairs,
had best keep this in mind.

feet in length, by 600 feet in

1t is situated in Bayhorse Min
ing District, Custer county, on
Garden creek, about z miles up
said creek, west of Challis.
The vein is a contact assure;
courses north and south, and
dips a few degrees from the YER
teal to the east, with one wall
porphyry, and the other slate.
1t has from one to three feet
of vein matter, and well-defined
pay-streak of high grade smelt-
ing ore, 3 inches to IL inches
that carries average values of
from 20 to 90 per cent. lead, and
so to 200 ounces silver. Selected
samples running as high as 1000
ounces silver and 10 per cent.
copper. The character of the
ore is galena, sprinkled with
copper pyrites.
There has been so tons of ore
shipped from this mine that
averaged 30 per cent. lead, and
80 ounces silver, together with
some light values in gold.
The vein is developed with two
adit tunnels driven on the ore all
the way, which are 1926 feet and
1875 feet long respectively. These
tunnels are so situated that they
will gain one foot in face depth
for every lateral foot extended
further in on the ore, and offer
admirable advantages for rapid
and economical development.
There is a good, substantial cabin
and blacksmith shop on the
mines; a fine water power, and
abundance of timber suitable for
all mining and building purposes
in its immediate vicinity.

This property consists of the
Crazy No. | and Gracy No. 2
claims. Each 1500x60O feet.
These claims are a continuation
of the Nellie vein, and prove it's
continuation for 5000 feet in
length.
They are situated in the Bay
horse Mining District, on the
north side of Garden creek, z.
miles west of Challis, with which
they are connected by a good
wagon road.
The vein courses north and
south, and stands nearly vertical,
dipping a few degrees to the
east. 1t is a contact fissure in
walls of slate and porphyry.
A mere prospect yet, as re-
CARDS development-with one 20
foot cut, and one 10 foot tunnel,
which shows a we'll defined vein
of lead carbonate and galena ore,
worth 25 per cent. lead and 60
ounces silver, which has all the
evidence of permanency, and if
the north tunnel on the Nellie is
extended in on the vein under
this property, it will unquestion-
ably show an enormous resource
of rich smelling ore, as it would
unuercuC the apex OF the vein on
these claims at vertical depth
of something liks 1000 feet. This
property can be developed to
considerable depth by adit tun
nels driven on the ore within the
limits of its own claims. There
is a fine water power and abun-
dance of timber in its Immediate
vicinity, and every facility for
