What is supposed to be another
big quartz strike was made recently
between Mt. Idaho and the South
fork Of the Clearwater. 1t is moth
ing more nor less than ii quartz
ledge 100 feet wide, the existence
of which has been known for year,,
but was always supposed 10 be bull
quartz without value. The big
strikes on Buffalo Hump have,
however, opened peoples eyes to
the fact that the groupings are no
indication OF the real value Of a
ledge, and so County Commissioner
+. j Bri-coe went down lately and
located II claim and had assays
made which show that the ore has
IA value of 81 per ton. j. Is. Vim

have also made a location down
there and are now awaiting further
assay tests before proceeding to de-
velop the claim. 1t is to be de.
voutly hoped that this will prove
another bonanza nearer home. Ore
