BUFFALO HUMP MATTERS
Development Work to be In
augurated on the Broad
water Consolidated,

Mr.. ID. T. Davis, manager of the
Broadwater-C Consolidated company,
of Spokane, has returned from the
northern metropolis and left for
the Hump this morning to inaug-
urate systematic development work
upon the Broadway and Broadwa-
ter quartz claims owned by thi,
company. These claims are stu
atch midway between the Winston
and Crac<eriack, and it is The in
teniion to ut once start the work of
sinking a shaft on the Broadwater.
Mr.. Harris will also put II force
of men 10 work on the Elberton,
another company incorporated in
Spokane, with Henry Seiifert as
manager. There is already 60 feet
of tunnel on the Elberton lode, and
this tunnel viii be extended. This
property is admirably situated for
tunnel development, as they gain
depth foot for foot.
Mr.. Davis has spent several
months in the camp and gives it as
his opinion that with an equal
amount Of development work the
camps of Rossland and Republic
will not be in it with old Buffalo
Hump,
Mr.. Kanaly is another mining
man who spent sunday here aud
left for : pokane this morning after
IA six months stay in the Hump
district, looking at every prospect
in the camp. He gives it rs his
opinion that the country around
the Hump will, in time, prove to
be the scene Of the greatest mining
activity in the west.
Mr., kanaly says the two great
needs Of the camp is concerted ac-
ton to adopt Il permanent route to
the camp and open a trail, and
next to secure mail route.
Concerning the routes of travel
he says that there are now too
many. and hat they are all in bad
condition. He says there is a
splendid natural grade from some
point on the Florence road mean
Adams camp. following the long
ridge or backbone between the
waters of Slate creek, which runs
into the Salmon, and the various
streams which put into the Clear
water. Mining engineers who have
been over this route pronounce it
one of the phenomenons of nature
that SO good ii grade for such dis
lance can be found.
Referring to the matter of mail
facilities, Mr.. Kanaly says that he
present postal service is practically
boycotted, the camp chipping in
literally to maintain its own SER
vice TO and from Mt. Idaho.
Parties sending mail to Buffalo
should address it to Mt. Idaho To
ensure prompt delivery.

The telephone office, in its new
quarters, is conducted under exas-

nection it is increasingly hard tc
understand what is said mt Lewis

sometimes has to be passed on
through three operators before the
party at the Grangeville end gets
an inkling of what is wanted.
Doubtless these things will be rem

Buffalo Hump, July II, 1899.

Frank A. CostOn has started the
Florence stage route from Grange
vile to the Hump. His stage runs
three times a week, making the
trip in day and a half. The first
day, starting from the general
stage Office at the Jersey house at
5 a. H., Slate creek is reached
about O'Clock in the afternoon.
A transfer of passengers and bag
gage is made to horses, and short
ride of 81 miles brings both to
Kunz's station on Wind river. A
stop is here made for the night,
and the main camp at the Hump is
made on horseback the next day, a
distance Of fourteen miles from
Wind river. Taking into consid-
Grafton the difficulties and expense
getting horse feed into the Hump,
the tariff for the trip compares fa-
vorably with the rate between here
and Lewiston. Express and bag
gage are carried for seven cents a
pound, and passengers for $40 sin
gle and s1S round trip. ~

MINING MAGNATES ARRIVE
Our Hump Correspondent Anticipates
Interesting Developments.

j. J. Bennett and Mr.. Huntley,
OF the De Lamar company, ltd.,
are in camp this evening; also
Micl.arl Sweeney, D. A. Doyle aud
Mark Musgrove, and their every
move will be watched with the
keenest interest for the next few
DAYS. Mr. Cameron, of the firm OF
Norman & Cameron, came in too
tonight. AS might be expected
thew are as yet very reticent about
their intentions, everything being
in more or less Of an embryo stage,
but no doubt the public will re-
ceive interesting news from the
Hump district before long.
In keeping with his word Frank
Brown made sweeping reduction
in prices Immediately after the ar
rival OF his pack train yesterday.
| Provisions and mining supplies can
now be purchased at reasonable
prices.
r, NJ. Watson has arrived and
will commence work at once on the
Wide West, Oracle and Silent
Friend claims. His other claim,
the Copper Bullion, is yet under
bond to the De Lamar company.
Dave Jarron, who is interested
lin the San Francisco, came in yes
terday and will work on another
property.
Large catches of trout are being
made daily at Fish lake.
Although the Buffaloites were
hopeful that the verdict in the Big
Buffalo group bond would be given
at once, they are quite willing tc
wait for the news six days longer,
in keeping with the extension o.
time given by the owners to thu
De Lamar company. The genera
air of prosperity induced by thu
presence of 80 many new arrivals
will help to alleviate the suspense
