Samples From the Alaska.
Especial Correspondence)


Robinson, Sept. 2s.-E p. Jennings,
manager of the Alaska company, went
into the city this afternoon. taking
with him seven or eight samples of ore
obtained from recent disclosures made
in the drift north on the 270 level.
Speaking of the outlook for the mine,
Mr.. Jennings said that since unwater-
ing the premises, which they succeeded
in doing in the latter, part of August,
most of the time had been given to
cleaning out the old drifts and retim-
bering. and that only recently had they
commenced on new explorations. The
vein, which, as Mr.. Jennings said, is
large and strong one, contained some
very nice ore on the lift above the 270,
and he is pursuing both the north and
south drifts now for the purpose of
getting under the old chutes. The ore
encountered in the north drift is con-
tanned in a quartz full of iron pyrites,
and the best tested has given returns
of fffty-two ounces of silver. Mr.. Jen-
nings expressed himself very hopeful of
good results attending their work,
based on all the conditions, which he
characterized as being unusually ia
vorable. The property was located
early in the 'T0's as the Ruby and
shipped rich surface ores.

pared to speak relative to its metal

of clean ore, alongside of which is two
feet of jigging mineral. The ex-mana-
ger said he believed that the shipping

Rabbits Foot Shipment.
Especial Correspondence.)

Silver City, Sept. 23.-Somewhere
along about the coming Wednesday or
Thursday Superintendent Magician of
the Rabbits Foot will have two cars
of ore to send into market, and the
writer ventures the assertion that in
copper and silver values it will prove
the best that has been sent from the
district for many a day. If the ore
bodies in this mine continue to increase
with depth as everything would indi-
cate at present, and the present grade
is maintained. they will have a very
valuable property" At present they are
lifting anywhere from two to five tons
of ore day which under the closest
sampling shows better than $500 per ton
mineral. 1t will be remembered that
when the Rabbits Foot people sent
their last car of ore to market it was
settled for on the basis of $50 per ton
net. Accepting the statements of Mr..
Maghan, who has carefully tested the
present lot. it should exceed the value
of the other shipment by far Every
thing points to the fact that in this
mine depth only is required to demon
strate big proposition, because the big
ends of the ore chutes have vertical
pitch. All of the ore is now coming.

z. L. Gireaux, one of the best known
mining engineers in the west is at the
Knutsford, accompanied by Daniel
George, the well known mining opera
tor of Colorado. The gentlemen have
been in Bingham for several days,
where they have been engaged in MAX
ing examinations of several mining
propositions which they hold under an
option for their Denver clients. One OF
the properties taken up is on the ROD
Roy group. A deal has been pracu-
cally closed up for that property. and
A. &. Reynolds & Co. of Denver, for
whom the mine has been bought, Will
shortly be called upon to pay large
portion of the purchase money, which
is said to run well up into the thou
sands. A force of fifteen men has been
employed at the property, and the de-
velopment work is being pushed as rap
idly as possible. 1t is understood If
the mine shows UP faYorably the last
payment will be made some time IN
October. 1t is thought it will take
about forty feet of tunnel work to in
tercept the main ledge. Messrs. Cir
eaux and George are after other Bling
ham properties, but Mr.. George COM
planned yesterday of the reluctance OF
mine owners to give sufficient time TO
make examinations.
Mine owners continued Mr..
George, must not expect to get east
ern capital interested on such short
options. Plenty of capital could be
induced to come in here for investment
in mining proposition if owners would
give time enough to make all the pre-
liminaries and fix UP details. So many
seem to want to give only thirty days
to turn propositions that involve
large amount of money. A mining deal
cannot be consummated in a day; the
expert must have time to make his ex-
aminations and report to his superiors,
and then if everything is satisfactory
the titles must be carefully looked into
to see that there are no flaws any,
where. The eastern capitalist will not
take anyone's word for it. but docu'
mentS must be produced that show the
title to be correct.
IF the mine owners would stop to
realize all these things they could sell
their properties if they have any merit
to them. While. on the other hand, if
they are not willing to use judgment
in such matters the capitalist must
necessarily turn them down, and that
does harm to the camp and to the state
in which it is located"
Mr.. GireauX is a brother to Joseph
l.. GireauX. general manager of the

the interest of Mr.. Clark. The titles to
the Zelnora and Argentine groups were
being fixed up by the Utah Title &
Trust company yesterday, and it was
learned from parties interested in them
that deal had practically been closed
for both properties. 1t was stated that
the Zelnora was to go at S150,000.

RED BIRD GROUP.
Salt Lake Parties Start Work On
That Idaho Property.

That Idaho property.
After an absence of nearly a week
Richard Guenther, jr., returned yester-
day morning from a trip to northern
Idaho, where he went to look after
some mining interests.
Mr.. Guenther is interested in the Red
Bird group, located about sixteen miles
from Salmon City, upon which he has
had an option for some time past. He
was accompanied on the trip by some
eastern parties who went along for the
purpose of looking into the merits Of
the proposition, with the view of ac-
quiring an interest with Mr.. Guenther
The parties were favorably impressed
with the property and announced their
Willingness to spend $1,000 in doing
some exploratory work. Before they
came away a force of men We're en-
ployed and assigned to the work of
opening up the mine further and to
demonstrate its worth.
Assays taken from ore on the surface
gave returns og SIS per ton.
The expert WHO accompanied Mr..
Guenther and the eastern parties, is a
noted mining engineer of Leadville,
Colo. He made a favorable report to
his superiorS and thought the condi-
tons were such that the expenditure
of $1,000 would open up a good pro-
ducer-
1t is the intention to work three
shifts. A tunnel will be run into the
mountain for distance of 300 feet, af-
ter which it is likely a Wine will be
sunk on the main lode.
The Red Bird is located in the Eu-
reka Mining district and Mr.. Guenhher
says the camp is quite active at the
present time as considerable capital has
gone into the country from Colorado
and Montana and large amount of
development work is in progress.
One of the heaviest operators in the
district at the present time is Phil
Shernon. one of the pioneers of Mon
tana, and now a wealthy citizen of
Idaho.
Captain Singeiser is putting in some
machinery to work some valuable
quartz veins owned by him and is also
figuring on putting in a large dredge
to work the placer beds along the Sal
mon river.
Considerable activity was noticed on
Indian creek, where machinery was be-
ing taken in for mill at the Ulysses
mine.
Great activity is apparent, Mr.. Guen-
Their states over on Moose creek, Cali
fornia Bar and on what is known up
there as the Divide, where quartz and
placer ground is being operated.
1t is stated at Salmon City that rep
resentatives of the Burlington railroad
are In that section securing data as to
the tonnage from the mines and mills
of the district, and otherwise sizing up
the resources of the Salmon river colln-
try. 1t is believed this is being done
with the view of extending the road
from Billings, Mont, on to Boise City.

THE OLD HOME HAUNTs.

Of. colburn Clarke in scribner's)
There $ a sound that rings in my ears to-
That echoes in vague refrain.
The ripple of water DER smOOth-washed
where the wan-eyed pike and the black
That makes me yearn, in a quiet way.
For my old ly-rod again.
Back to the old home haunts again,
Back where the clear lake lies;
Back through the woods
Where the hlackgfrd brOOds,
Back to my rod and flies.
I'm longing to paddle the boat today.
Through water-iOgged grass and reeds:
Where the mGskrat swims, and the cat
Where the air is cool and the mist is
Where the rippIes dance in the same old
Under the tangled weeds.
Back on the old oak log again.
Back by the crystal brook;
Back to the bait,
And the silent wait,
Back to my lime and hook.
I wish 1 could wade by the waters edge,
Where the fallen leaves drift by;
just to see, in the shadow of the ledge
How dark forms glide, like a w00dman's
Through driftwood piles and the coarse
marsh sedge,
And to hear the bittern cry.
Back where the tadpoles shift and
sink
Back where the bull frogs sob;
Back just to float
In the leaky boat
Back to my dripping bob
Oh it's just like this on each misty day
It's always the same old pain
That struggles and pulls in the same old
Way
To carry me off for little stay
BY the waters edge in sticky clay,
To fish in the falling rain.
Back to my long black rubber boots
Back to my old patched coat;
Back to my rod
And the breath of Cod
Homeland my leaky boat.

An Object Lesson In Mexico.
Modern Mexico.)


An American farmer near Guadala-
jara tells Modern Mexico how he con-
WINGED his Mexican neighbors that oxen
could do more work under American
yokes than under the oldfashioned
head yokes so generally used in the re-
public The American brought several
modern yokes from the states and used
them with success. The curiosity of his
Mexican friends was aroused and they
proceeded to ask questions.
WE'LL" said the American, when
you lasso a steer and the lasso gets
around his neck, what: do you do?"
Turn him loose" was the reply.
''Why?"
Because. he's too strong for US that
way a57
That's it, answered the American.
His strength is in his neck not in his
horns ..es.E,--
The Mexicans saw the point, and now
yokesg of United States manufacture are
generally used in that neighborhood.

WATER IN KREMLIN.
More Than the Sinking Pump Could
Handle.

The Kremlin people ran against a
snag Wednesday in the shape of water,
and as the flow was more than the
small sinking pump would handle it
was pulled up and work in the drift
from the bottom of the shaft was sus-
pended pending the purchase of a lar
ger one. Bert Kimball, who, with Wade
Mosby, is operating the Chicago
through the Kremlin shaft, said yes
terday that the Kremlin drift from the
bottom on the 800 level had been put in
a distance of 14O feet or so, and that
from the siXty-foot mark the amount
of water had steadily increased until
now there was flow of some eighty
gallons per minute. The trouble will
probably be met during the next few
days, when work will be resumed. As
the Chicago people are operating on the
200 level the water has not yet caused
any inconvenience on their side of the
shaft.

VISITS WYOMING MINE.
Boise Lawyer to Buy Property For
100000.

F. A Ingersoll, representing the In
gersoll-Hammond Mining company of
Marsh, Ida. was in the city for a. few
hours yesterday en- route home from
making an examination of a property
in the Seminole mining district in Wvo-
ming, upon which S. w. Moody. the
well known attorney and mining man
of Boise. holds an option on basis of
100000. Mr.. Ingersoll was accompan-
led on the trip by S. W. Wamble of
Boise. A favorable report will be
maze to Mr.. Moody.
Speaking of his mining interests at
Marsh, Mr.. Ingersoll says his company
owns the Lucky Boy No. 1 group. con-
sisting of half.dozen claims. The
properly is developed by tunnels to the
extent of $50 feet. Contracts are to be
let for 400 feet additional. and when
completed Mr.. Ingersoll believes the
mine will be in condition to keep
