says that the work this spring
opened six weeks ago, and h
found everything running in {
smooth manner. Owing to tn.
fine water pressure he has, 1
comparatively small amount o
labor is required, and the dir,

Asked about the Buffalo
Hump country, Mr.. Legget1
said there was a great deal o.
snow there yet. He had q
chance to measure it accu
rately. A man who was split
ting wood dropped an iror
wedge in the snow near the
stump of a large pine tree. He
dug down to find the wedge
but was unable to regain pos
session of it until the wedge
had finally slipped down and
rested on the ground. The
man dug all the snow GU,
down to the ground, and when
Mr.. Leggett happened along
he got the man to take a foot
rule and measure the depth OF
the snow, which was exactly
fourteen feet deep: That, Mr..
Leggett says, is about the
average depth of snow in that
part of the country.
Mr.. Legsett says that there
is a great army of prospectors
headed into the country from
both sides. He believes the
best way to go in is by way Of
Grangeville. The majority Of
the prospectors he met came
from Colorado, though he saw
a good many from Montana,
and met some old.time Mon.
tanans whom he had not seen
for twenty years. He says he
never saw a-lot of prospectors
so thoroughly equipped as
those he overlook on the road.
He said most of them carried
eighteen to twenty drills apiece,
and had a good many boxes of
dynamite. Usually, he says,
prospectors do not carry pow.
der, but when they find need
for that article will return to a
settlement for it, and by this
means lose much valuable
time The men who are now
going into the country mean
business, and Mr.. Leggett says
that before fall they will have
the entire country turned up.
side down, and if there is any.
thing there they will find it.

In another column the bonding
of the Crackerjack claim by Messrs.
Sweeny & Clark is announced.
Later a few additional particulars
were obtained concerning this i'm
portant deal. The price paid is the
largest of any offered for. Hump
property, with the exception OF the
Big Buffalo, being in the neighbor-
hood Of 100000. The second pxy-
ment will be made on the 18th Of
July, and the others October 18th,
1899, and July II, 1900. Two
shifts Of men are now working on
this claim
Three shifts of men are now at
work on the Jumbo. 1t is a fact
not without some interest and sig
nificance that employees Of the Big
Buffalo syndicate, according to the
records, have purchased interests
in six claims at the Hump in
the vicinity of the Rambler and
Crackerjack. We allude to Attor-
ney Bartlett and j. X. Mcdonald.
The former name alone appears on
the records, but the latter gentle
man is believed to be in those in
terests also.
