In Seven Devils.

In our issue of the Sth instant, we
made local mention of the arrival III
camp of Mr. c. B. Lyon, of Boise, but a,
that time were not at liberty to state
that the gentleman visit i'll our midst
meant the expenditure and investment
Of millions of dollars by an eastern COM
many, represented by Mr.. Lyon, i'll the
operation of properties i'll the Seven
Devils.
Mr.. Lyon remained III camp about
two weeks and during that time was
theoretically at work i'll locating and in
procuring options for his company on
some of the most promising properties
in the Seven Devils district.
The company that Mr.. Lyon represents
is known as the Boston-Seven Devils
Milling, Mining & Developing company,
organized under the laws of New Jersey
with capitalization of $6 900 600. The
company is composed of men who have a
commercial rating and rank among the
solid 6nanciers of the east; men who
have at hand not only the amount of the
capitalization of the company but mil
lions in money besides.
In interesting these parties in prop
critics in the Seven Devils, where they
are sure to reap rich rewards with the
prevailing price of copper on their
money invested, commendable praise is
due MIR. Lyon and that he will sue
cessfully manage the company's affairs
and operate the properties to the best of
advantage there can be no doubt MIR.
Lyon ranks among the most practical
mining men of the west and has
thorough knowledge of the development
and working of mining properties in
every way.
The gentleman has bonded 27 prop
critics in the vicinity of the Old Peacock
and has established a camp to be known
as Invisible Camp where extensive
mining operations will be carried OH
as soon as buildings can be erected and
men and provisions gotten in. On all
the properties more or less development
work will be prosecuted and those prov
ing OF merit will be extensively operated.
Among the more promising properties
that the gentleman has bonded might
be mentioned the Circle c, Oronoco and
& Xxx, owned by Nose Fuchs and Judge
Morse, the Douglas claim, and the Vic
toria group, owned by Joe Brown and F.
Aers, on which properties quite ex-
tensive development work has already
Deem prosecuted, showing good bodies of
nlgh grade copper ore; also the Hill
house and Jim Corbett groups which so
Tar have undergone very little develop
ment work but have good surface show
lhgs. Lying as they do in close prox-
unity to the world-famed Peacock mine
with further development these proper
ties will undoubtedly prove of merit and
iahk among the future best producing
mines in the Seven Devils.
aside from bonding these promising
properties the gentleman made some
valuable locations OH Camp creek and
also several locations joining the Tussel
group on the south.
MIR. Lyon left for Boise "Wednesday
