Idaho Gold Fields.

1t is confidently predicted by
those who know of the section that
discoveries will be made this SUM-
mer in the central idaho mining
region, which will eclipse those al
ready known, and judging from
the recent reports from Newsome
creek, the prediction would not
seem far amiss. 1t would appear
that general mineral belt of gold
bearing veins runs from Salmon
river through the Hump, and
thence north, striking through the
region through which the three
branches Of the Clearwater flow
The discoveries on Newsome creek,
which is about 20 miles north OF
the Hump, would appear to sub
stantiate the theory for the hedges
are similar to those of the Hump
and run rich in gold. Contra
Idaho was once before the scene o
great gold discoveries, and the in
rush of excited gold seekers, WIN
carried out with them millions il
gold from the rich placers of tina
section; and it looks as though tn
year of 80 might rival those pas
days of excitement and exploration
with rewards as rich for the hard.
courage that braves the discomfort
and dangers of the mountain trails.

GREAT MINING DISTRICT.
Mining Expert knight Tells Of His Trip
to Elk City and Vicinity.

Several prominent mining men
have just returned from Elk City,
including Manager Huntley of the
De Lamar company, and Albert b.
Knight Of Butte, Mont.
Mr.. Knight gives an interesting
account of the country and the
properties he visited, being on the
whole very favorably impressed
with what he saw during his trip.
II first visited the American
Hill placer mine, about p miles
from Elk City," said Mr.. Knight
Yesterday. There they have an
hydraulic elevator in operation.
The mine is in very good shape and
under the management of Henry
Pope. They dump into the Amer
lean river. The trouble with Oper.
atoms previous to the installation
of the elevator, was that the ground
was low and they had no fall fol
the dump. Now the material il
washed down fume to the eleva.
tor, and then raised 33 feet, run.
ming off from that height through
another fume to the river.
"At the Buffalo Hill placer prop
erty, about two miles from Ell
City, l found Mr.. f. Dickey il
charge, Rod d. Leegett being
large owner. From the pit wher'
they are at work they are making
"a cut across an elbow of the rive
for their dump, which will Civ
them the benefit of the fall tn
river makes in a mile and quar-
ter.
Il visited also the Clevelan'
mine. about seven miles from Ell
CITY On the road to the Badge
mountain. The property consist
of eleven claims, and there has bee
considerable development wor
done. On the Cleveland claim the
have sawmill and one-stam
quartz mill and other machiner
= on Relief creek. Two tunnels hav
been driven, one about 200 fet
and the other 300 feet.
"Adjoining the Cleveland is til
Grangeville, owned by Geo. h
Reed and others. They have
shaft sunk on the Grangeville an
a short tunnel and about two hun
bred tons of ore on the dump.
also took the opportunity to Wis
various placer propositions, inclu'
ing those belonging to James Wit
5 now under bond to X. D. Legge
and various others. | was vel
$ favorably impressed with Il
= country and with the properties
o saw. 1t should become a gre
$ mining country. While there a
really no quartz mines develop'
2 so far beyond the prospect stage,
II have never seen IA country whe
k quartz is more generally distribute
or where prospects abound to
great an extent and over so gre
an area.

DEkAMAR NUCCETF
Puts In a Good Word for the
Management of the De-
Lamar Company,

Commenting ON the announce.
ment in the DAILY Press of June
7th that the DeLamar company
had bonded the Big Buffalo group,
the DeLamar Nugget says: CAT
the Office here nothing has been
given out concerning the deal, al.
though the presence of a blue print
of an excellent map of the Hump
district, with pencil marks on the
Big Buffalo and adjoining claims,
lying upon Mr.. Orford's desk de.
notes that he has more informa-
ton concerning the deal than he is
willing to disclose. Mr.. Huntley
is still in that district and doubt
less in direct communication with
his principals in London, and Mr..
Oxford, of course, would not pub
lish anything from here. The re-
port in the FREE Press is, however,
believed to be correct, and it is
at least plausible, because it looks
altogether probable that the men
who held the former bond gave 1t
up because of the 5000, 600 add.
tional the property would cost
them, which their contract required
them to pay Sam Silverman, the
middleman. The owners preferred
to give the option to other reliable
parties.
1--WE can congratulate the own
ers that they are now dealing with
men who want the property for
themselves, if inspection proves it
to be valuable, and who will not
resort to any small subterfuges to
lower the price or injure the repu'
tatiOn OF the district.
