been wanted nor looked for. With the
possibilities of a railroad, however, this
is changed. We have the mineral belt
hereabeuts. and there is no good reason
why large iow-grade mines should not
be found.
Bristol district is in a lime formation.
A heavy granite belt lies some miles to
the south of it, 1t contains copper
lodges of immense size which have
been worked but little until the past
season, and the region promises TO be-
come one of the great copper producers
of the state
The fifty-foot shaft and crosscuts on
the Copper King claim disclose an inn
mense vein of copper ore, pyrites and
carbonates with some silver and gold.
Lower grade ore than this is worked
profitably in. other sections.
People hereabouts have been welded
to limestone and quartz formations be-
cause the early bonanzaS were found
in such. but when we see such great
in Montana, in granite. we feel that
one of the great fields of mining wealth
of this county has been overlooked.
Lying as the section does. northwest
of Phoebe some fourteen miles it adds
another to the numerous possibilities
when rail facilities shall make it profit
able to mine such ores.
This is not far distant. and the grade
of the road through Bristol pass is
within about five miles of the claims
Timber is abundant, water can be had
within a few miles, and the ores are
such that smelling operations can be
carried on Whereabouts with as little
expense as anywhere in this section

The agent stroked his beard thought

This is the way one children's birth
day party was planned last week in
the office of the most enterprising
agent ir, that line of business. This
agent arranges for entertainments for
all occasions, in churches, drawing
rooms, clubs, lodges or public halls, for
receptions, weddings, parties, balls and
concerts.
Within the last twenty years the art
of providing entertainments has be-
come recognized branch of the
amusement business. Before that time
there were no agents employed espe-
cially to promote it. The grand opera
companies occasionally loaned their
stars to persons giving social functions
and sometimes a famous lecturer,
pianist or violinist appeared at a pri-
vate entertainmenl%by special request.
But of late years 'the demand for
amusements at dinners and receptions
has been so great that a score of
agents have established themselves to
supply it. The various musical and
vaudeville performers register with
these agents and hold themselves in
readiness to appear whenever and
wherever they are called upon, pro-
vided it does not interfere with their
public engagements. These entertain
rs are classified as follows: Head
liners, meaning persons of great repu-
tation, such as Calve, Eames, Edouard
de Reske and the like; vaudevillers and
lyceum people. The latter are recita-
tionists. magicians, shadowgraphists
and givers CT monologues.

The Spanish Belt Country.
CPioche Record.)


Owen Smith, an old prospector and
mine-owner in this section, arrived in
town on Tuesday last from the Spanish
Belt country, where he reports things
in that section of the country are about
the same as they are hereabouts.
The mines in that district are all
silver and lead, but as they are fur
Their from the railroad than we, the
same conditions prevail there as do
here. Some veins there, mostly small,
go as high as 5000 ounces in silver and
very high in lead, but being so far from
rail, they will not pay to work at pres
ent.
The above named district is about
forty miles northeast of new mining
district that has just been discovered
in Nyes county. called the New klon-
dixie This camp is located about the
same distance from the terminus of the
c. & C. railroad as the former camp,
but has one more disadvantage, the
lack of water for milling purposes, al
though they have struck water at a
depth of seventy feet.
From all reports this will be good
country in the near future.

MINING IN IDAHO.
Big Things Predicted For Salmon
Country Next Year.

Some very rich samples of gold ore
from the Indian creek mining district
in Idaho were exhibited at the Kenyon
hotel yesterday afternoon by C. H.
Stearns. N o. Marsing and John Pill
ing, three we'll known mining operators
at Salmon City. The specimens were
taken from the Kitty Burton mine,
owned by Frank Ibach. MesSrs. Mar
sing and Pilling have been working the
property during the past summer. and
met with considerable success in oper-
ating an arasta. A fine ledge of $50
ore has been disclosed in the mine, and
they state the property is now suf-
ficiently developed to warrant the cree
ton of a. stamp mill next year, which
will probably be done early in the
spring.
Mr.. Stearns is interested with a
crowd of New York capitalists owning
the Ulysses group. upon which new
five-stamp mill was completed and put
into commission a few weeks ago. Mr..
Stearns stated that the mine has de-
Veloped an efght-foot body of ore, av-
eraging IS to the ton. The ore can be
milled quite cheaply. and preparations
are being made TO put in five more
stamps. so Ihat no less than ten will
be dropping by the latter part of May
next.
Mr.. Stearns left for New York last
night, expecting TO remain there for
about three months, wien he will re-
turn to take active charge of the de-
velopment of the mine. During his alb
sence the property will be in charge Of
Superintendent A. NJ. Bauch. The
Ulysses mill is the first one erected in
the Indian creek district, but within an
other year, Mr.. Stearns says. he ex-
poets TO see several more completed in
the camp. He believes the year of 1900
viii witness the greatest activity ever
shown in the Salmon river country.
The Blackbird district is developing
some good mines. DR.. P. A. II. Frank
lin is getting good results from the
work he is doing there.
All the camps around Salmon are do
ing well, and people up there generally
believe the country will not have to
wait much longer for a line of rail-
road. Surveyors have been over the
ground during the past few months,
and mine owners have guaranteed q.
sufficient tonnage to make ii an OBJ
ject 10 capitalists to build the line into
Salmon City. Mr.. Stearns expects to
see something done in the way of build
ing next year.

bilities are great. 1t is reported that

Mammoth, Dec. 10.-For some rea-
rooney and others who are interested in
the North Swansea, the mine has been
closed, whether temporarily or not can
not be ascertained. The owners were
the recipients of congratulations only
a few days ago over the appearance of
what was generally believed to be the

Washington mine is fast approaching

cry ha; not yet arrived, but it is said
to be of sufficient capacity to do the
work required 10 a depth of 1000 feet
If necessary.
A careful study of the hill on which
the Martha Washington is located re-
veals wonderful possibilities. There
seems to be a network or series of
veins running parallel and at right
angles fairly cutting the hill in every
direction. Ii is not unreasonable to
say that the Undine and Sunbeam veins
form a junction in the Martha Wash
ington ground.

The company owns a big field for oper-
ations, and some good judges think
the chances are more than even that
they will cut an ore body. Their ground
may contain the Swansea vein or the
Eagle & Blue Bell chute or both.
Mike Fitzgerald of Silver City. the
original owner of the East Swansea,
but who now has Messrs- McGurrin of
Salt Lake associated with him. is max
ing preparations to do some eXplora-
ton work on the group. There is very
little doubt but that the Four Aces vein
runs directly through the East Swan
sea territory, and Four Aces stock in
Tintic is gaining favor.
Sinking in the Victoria with the
Burleigh drills is kept up constantly
and with gratifying results. Eurekaites
