course, and that is to awake to the
fact that the Republican party, dur
ing scarcely three years of admin

paved apath, through the indulgence
of their own avarice and greed,
whereon we may march with stately
and unmolested steps to the polls
in 1900 and there cast a sure win

Judge Tarvin, president of the

protest against the growing

Fitzgerald is probably the first
to locate properties in this very
rich country this summer, and In
speaking of his properties he
incidentally mentioned that
when he first brought out speci-
mems from that section, he was
accustomed to have people laugh
at him and say 'There is a
fool bringing out rock which we
used to pass over ten years ago. ="
And yet now it is proved that
it is one of the richest sections
in the entire state. j. A. Pear
sons properties are on Thunder
mountain, Smith creek and Cop
per mountain; the last named
mountain is situated on the di-
vide between between Big creek
and the east fork of the south
fork of the Salmon, He has
three properties on Thunder
mountain, which are essentially
gold propositions and are con
limitations on the Caswell prop
critics, which are now celebrated
for their richness. These prop
critics are all on one ledge, which
is more of gigantic dyke than
what might be properly called a
ledge. Roughly and conservat-
lively estimating, l would say
that the dyke will continue
through it's entire length, 60 feet
wide and it can be distinctly
traced through four properties.
1t shows free gold and pans free
ly. 1t would be unnecessary to
assay such property rock. He
also has two properties on Smith
creek, known as the Jacket
group, which are gold and silver
properties and although the
lodges are very large and we'll
defined, they are low grade, the
returns being about $17 per ton
net. No work has been done on
these properties other than as
sessment work.
My own properties with my
partners and individually, con-
sist of 10 different and distinct
claims, all of them situated on

heretofore always been known
as the Monumental copper camp,
on Copper creek. We have as
Mr.. Grostein stated in his inter-
view some time ago, done the
major portion OF our work on the

Gold Bug, which we believe will
be eventually as rich on develop
ment. We have, also, The Boliv-
er No. 2 and the Phoenix which
adjoins the Boliver and as these
two latter properties are on the
same ledge there is little to
choose between them. In the
properties mentioned we have
free gold in all, and as I have
stated heretofore they all pan
easily, and it is self-evident that
they are free milling PROPOSE

The man IN the moon, who
came down too soon, as we are
informed by that veracious astr-
odomical chronicler, Mother
Goose, is coming down again,
practically, at the Paris Exposi-
ton, provided the great telescope
now making is success. The
projectors of the enterprise as
sert they will bring the moon
within 40 miles by means of
their apparatus, and it really be-
gins to look as if there was a
chance to do so, for the great z
foot mirror is almost ready, and
the lenses, after repeated failur-
es, are ground and made perfect.
The basis of comparison for a
telescope is the object-glass, and
the only lenses to which those of
the Grande Lunette can be COM
pared are those of the Yerkes
telescope, at Lick Observatory,
il California, and the gigantic
Grunwald instrument that was
shown at the Berlin Exposition.
The Yerkes object-glass is the
3 feet 5 inches in diameter, and
the Grunwald glass measures 8
#. z inches. The object-glass of
the Grande Lunette is 4 feet in
diameter. These are the largest
object-glasses ever cast and
ground successfully.
The completed telescope will
not be subjected to the restric-
tions imposed on other big tele-
scopes of the world by the diff
culties of mechanical construc-
ton. That is to say, a telescope
as large as the Yerkes, for in
stance, is mounted on frame
work of complicated mechanism.
and held up by tremendous
foundation.

Bisckbird District.
Boise Statesman.

Robert Bell, the well known
Salmon City mining man, is a
guest at the Overland. Mr.. Bell
has just completed a trip over
land from Warrens and Florence
via. the Buffalo Hump country,
to Boise. He says he believes
there is great future for that
entire northern section from q
mining standpoint. He believed
the Buffalo Hump country was
destined to become one of the
leading mining camps of the
state. He also had great faith
in the Thunder Mountain sec.
ton. He said it was a wonder
full formation and undoubtedly
contained some very rich mines.
Mr.. Bell made the trip in the in
terest of some eastern mining
men, devoting his attention more
particularly to the property sus-
ceptible for dredging. 1t is
probable his report will result
in the investment of considerable
additions of capital in the state.
Speaking about the mining
conditions in his home county,
in the course of an interview last
evening Mr.. Bell made the inter
esting statement that his county
was worthy rival of the Seven
Devils as copper section. He
said some wonderfully fine cop
per deposits were being develop
ed in the Blackbird district on
Big Deer creek. The lodges are
phenomenally large, and while
the percentage of copper is not
large the leads are of such won
derous size that they prove very
attractive to investors in this,
the copper era of mining history.
A recent discovery in the
Blackbird district is owned by
j. P. Clough and James Sims.
They have a claim in the center
of a copper deposit that probab-
ly has no equal in this country.
The ledge is 800 feet wide and it
has been located continuously for
three miles. Messrs. Clough and
Sims have crosscut the ledge at
shallow depth, finding it is 300
feet in width.
The ore average 9 per cent.
copper and SO q ton III gold, car
rying besides good values in CO.
bait and nickle. Cobalt is one
of the rare metals. From it is
produced an imperishable blue
coloring matter which is used
extensively in the decoration of
chinaware. 1t is worth on the
market 81 a pound. 1t is copper,
however, that gives this ire
mendous ledge its distinguished
feature.
Eastern capital has already in
vested extensively in this new
district. The Gold & Copper
Exploration company, of which
DIR. p. A. II. Franklin is the
moving spirit, has secured bonds
on five groups there, comprising
over 100 claims. DIR. Franklin is
the man who last year sold the
Telegraph and Jordan mines in
Utah for $4,000, 1000.
One of the groups bonded by
the doctors company, is owned
DIR. Wright, state senator from
Lemhi county, and others. This
group, which is on Brown Bear
creek, in the Blackbird district.
has been bonded by this com
pany $50, 900, and a payment of
$1,000 was made the first of this
month. The ledge on this prop
erty is $50 feet wide and has
been developed TO a depth of
about $50 feet. The ore runs
$50 a ton in copper, gold and sill
yer. The Boston company has
also bonded the Uncle Sam group
for $3.50. This group is own
ed by J. o. Swift of HALEY and
Banker Mccormick of Salt Lake.
The Hawkeye group has been
bonded bV the Sama cOyo,,onu e.,
