A Frisco Expert,

Edward L. Keely, a prominent
mining man of San Francisco, who
has spent considerable time in
Alaska, reached this city Tuesday.
Contrary to,the general impression,
according to Mr.. Keely central
Idaho has got a splendid name
among mining men in Frisco. He
heard of the Hump as far south as
Los Angeles. Mr.. Keely will maxi e
several trips to the various mining
districts this summer.
II found when l got to Portland
the Oregonian booming Baker City
mines. When / reached Spokane
the papers were lauding Republic.
This might have had the effect OF
turning my attention away from
this country but that ! had private
information upon which l felt ]
could rely. Therefore decided tc
go through with the trip and SEE
what central Idaho is made Of fol
myself" he explained yesterday.
