For a Big Hotel.

c. +. Hart has been in the city for
about month investigating the
proposition of building first class hotel
de has different sites in view, and the
selection will in measure depend upon

trcts.

kroutinger tract near the railroad at the
foot of Main street, Another is the
block occupied by the residence of the
Clark sisters on the north side OF { street
between Fourth and Fifth streets. The
third is on Main street east of the Raw.
mond House.
The proposed hotel will be four stories
high and IooxIoo feet, built of stone.

particular.

Mrs. MaxOn Robbed.

Mrs. J. o. Maxon the wife of the
engineer who is i'll the employ of the o.
X. & n. company was robbed last week
at her home on the Clearwater five miles
above this city by tramp. The miscreant
was canped in an abandoned dugout
near the lady's home where her little
son formed an acquaintance with him.
Mrs. MaXon went near the dugout and
admonished the boy and said she was
afraid the man would rob her. This ex-
preston was over heard and the tramp
knew from the talk that the lady had
money III her possession. In the evening
Mrs. Maxon went to the river after water
and the tramp grabbed her while out
side the door aud demanded the money
which he said he knew she had in the
house. He said he would kill her and
get the money if She did not give it to
him. The lady was badly frightened
and she handed over forty five dollars
which she had Just received from her
husband by mail. An alarm was sound
ed but no trace of the robber has been
found.

The Salmon River Mines.

James Sheppard the veteran prospector
who has been i'll every important camp
in the world returned today from the
Salmon river gold belt. He took in all
the Salmon river district from White
bird to Mallick. He unhesitatingly
pronounces that region to be the greatest
mineral belt he ever saw.
Mr.. Sheppard secured claims in the
Goff district. He found there dyke
$500 feet wide that was composed of
peculiar black ore which ASSAYS from
four to eight dollars In this dyke there
are streaks of free milling ore which will
assay into the thousands but he places
the chief values upon the great dyke of
base ore. He says the ore is similar TO
Ballarat Australia ore and that ii extends
for miles along Salmon river.
Mr.. Sheppard has theory that this
dyke and others supply as mother loles
the fine gold in our rivers. They have
been worn away by the process of time
and the small percent that is free in the
great bulk of base ore feeds the placets
for hundreds Of miles mp and down the
rivers,
The discovery of gold in base ores has
revolutionized mining in this country
The pro5pectors are still running over
good base ores i'll search of free mill
ing rock. Even on Salmon river this
spring much energy has been expended
i'll following the stringers which reveal
free gold and high values to the neglect
of more valuable deposits i'll the same
region. The discovery that these great
dykes carry values is the occasion of
placing the Salmon river region in first
rank as a quartz district
