PLACERS IN IDAHO,
c. P. Richardson Tells of the
Main Source of Idaho's An
nual Output of Gold.

Placer mining is today as i
has been for a third OF a cen.
fury the main source of tn,

no. The booming days of the
pioneers are over, but never
theless year after year the
rockers, long toms, sluices and
hydraulic giants are turning
out the glistening dust and
nuggets. The work is quietly
done now. Although Spokane
lies at the gateway of these
placer districts few here apprc.
ciate the extent OF the industry,
while the prospects which may
hereafter attract investment of
capital are even less under
stood.
A man who has spent years
in placer mining in central
Idaho and who is posted upon
the work and its progress is c.
p. Richardson, sole owner of
the Moose creek placer mines
in the Newsome district. He
is in the city, and although
always reticent. when asked
about his placer interests, he
consented to talk to Spokes-
man.Review represe n tative
yesterday.
"The Moose creek placers
have been mined for thirty.five
years." he said. To-day we
have more gravel in sight than
ever before. Some of my
friends in that country tell me
that it will take one hundred
years to wash all that gravel,
but | rather think we shall
surprise them before long.
There is twenty-one miles of
ditching on the property. 1t

The two giant nozzles are four
and two and a half inches re-

feet of old channel gravel and
can move 1000 yards per day.
Fifteen men are employed and
we work about eight months
per year.
"No, do not care to state
the values we are getting. The |
yield is entirely satisfactory
Mr.. Richardson had pack

in his pocket which he showed
the reporter. There were mug.

thumb and packets of coarse

Ten PAGES TODAY,
TEXAS AND THE IRON INDUSTRY

We have not at hand The data from
which to tell how long the old furnace
at Jefferson which has just been pur
chased by the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company, has been idle and suffered to gu
to wreck but II is notorious fact that
In the meantime the iron industry In thIs
country has been going steadily forward
under an ever increasing demand for tho
American product.
This growth has reached such proper
tons that with double the output now
that was aeen five years ago there is an
Iron famine, so to speak. In this country.
The demand for iron and It's products Is sc
great that establishments like Cramps
shiryard have to virtually suspend work
on a number of vessels because all the fur
naces and foundries in America are over
stocked with orders and can not furnish
fast enough the material demanded over
1000, 900 tons of pig iron are being turned
out in the United States. making us the
greatest iron producing country on the
globe, and yet some orders by Americans
have recently been placed In Scotland be-
cause, owing to the superabundnnce of
work over here. they could not be filled
In the time wanted
Is IL by any means singular piece OF
news that great iron companies like the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company. should
be after additional furnaces and new ore
fields? Is 1t not rather remarkable that
rich fields in Texas have been allowed to
remain for SO long unworked by home
capitalists Are our Texas capitalists
blind to the growing demands of the COM
merce and Industries OF the country, or
have they got all the money they want?
If the latter. happy Texas capitalists!
You will be enved by the balance of the
still busy world!
The Posts correspondent at jefferson.
In special in yesterdays paper, mentioned
the fact that after the jefferson furnace
had been sold and the fact given proml-
nence in the papers, some home capitalist
at Corscana telephoned over to Jeffer-
son to know II the property could be
bought. Thousands of other men like him
VIII be too late in seeking good thing
In Texas in the next year or SO. unless
they wake up TO their opportunities.
Our Jefferson correspondent, in this con-
nection, very aptly called attention TO a
warning uttered by The Post only re-
Gently, when IL declared that III Texas
capital would not take advantage of such
bargains Gas We're to be found in this
State) ii would not be long before out
side capital would gobble them up"
The instance mentioned is but one of
many--the State is full of the most magni-
fcent opportunities for inaugurating profit
able industrial enterprises.
