Emerson Hills of Red Rock, Mont. is
enjoying whirl of metropolitan life at
the Kenyon, after eleven months of hard
! work in the Salmon river region 1.-THE
past year has not been so prosperous with
US as 1t should have been,'' said he but
present. indications point to marked
change for the better in every way. Pros

unexpia1nable reason overlooked the I'M

their doors which could be got from the
ground with far less labor, and no such
nardships as most of them have endured.
Inere have been many prospects located
IN and about the Salmon river district,
put development has been retarded by
the scarcity of capital, which. in turn,
mas been due to the difficulties encoun-
tered in getting into the country. 1t has
been thought too far out of the world in
past years because two ranges of noun
tains had to be crossed to the other side of
the divide. Eastern capitalists are now
interesting themselves in the prospects
and lately DR.. Franklin and a party from
Boston explored the region, with the re-
suit that they have bonded and leased
about 100 mining claims and will immedi-
ately begin operations. Another Boston
syndicate is now negotiating for a batch
of the old prospects and will soon obtain
the exclusive right to extract the copper
ores in which the country is very rich:
The present high price OF copper has had
the effect of causing men interested in
copper mining to look about for new cop
per fields, and the Salmon river mines
will soon be adding their quota to the
worlds supply. The country abounds in
rich agricultural end grazing lands, the
occupation of which will follow immedi-
ately the opening and operation of the
