is located on Elk creek, in Custer
county.
1t is stated on apparently good
authority that the Bluebird peop-
lie will erect and operate a smelt-
er in the spring. This is one of
the big Custer county properties.
The Stanley Basin dredge has
been closed down for the season,
and Manager l.. E. Moses is now
at his home in Pueblo, Col. The
dredge has had a very profitable
season, and the same company
will build another this winter, in
time for work when the season
opens.
Report has it that the Oregon
Short Line will extend its line
into Custer county early in the
spring, to run from Blackfoot to
Challis. In the vicinity of the
latter place there are a number
of good mining properties, with
considerable tonnage already in
sight, so rail line is feasible.
No particulars are obtainable as
to this project.
The strike at the Valley Creek
mine, Stanley Basin, is of con-
siderable importance, being a
ledge averaging 20 feet wide and
carrying good values. There is
streak of three feet of solid
galena, and in the center of the
ledge there is another 10-inch
streak of the same material, ell
very high grade ore. The prop
erty is to be pushed to shipping
development.
Though the mining season is
ended in the Stanley Basin sec
| ton, number of new projects
are being pushed to consumma
ton. One them is the ditch OF
the company headed by Genera
Weaver, which will tap Valley
creek at the foot of Buckskir
mountain, and with which they
will operate their placers. Dur
ing the past summer more golc
has been sluiced out than eve
before in the history of the camp
Another ditch project will hav'
twenty miles of waterway. Th'
Weaver company will also put IL
a dredge next season. A. j
| Waters owns q large amount o
, valuable ground, and this will b
| operated the season of 1901. Th'
Valley creek quartz mine will in
stall a 20O-ton concentration mex

The new 10-stamp mill on tn
Fisher mine is now operating
and doing excellent work. MI
f. f. Fisher, one of the owners
has been in Boise for some days
and gives very good reports {
this property, which has been

Opposition to Hanna'S Pet Measure
Growing Every Day
Among the politicians it is said that
with the passing of every day the task
which the Administration would under
take in the matter of forcing through
Congress the Ship Subsidy bill appears to
become greater Talks with number of
Representatives reveal the fact that there
exists at present no greater degree of
harmony in the House concerning this
measure than existed during the last ses-
sion. Three of the influential members OF
the House, Messrs- Burton. Hull, and
Hemenway, have announced their opposi-
tion to the pending bin a1a these men
viii, it is understood, have quite a little
following as each conspicuous Represen-
tatiye has certain incoRspicuous Repre-
senta atives who follow his lead
Much of the opposition can it is said,
be traced to the fact that the bill in its
present form is not satisfactory TO large
shipping interests who desire a share Of
the IS, 900, zoe subsidy
One amendment these ship owners de-
sire is a provision including in the ap-
poTtionment OF the subsidy foreign ships
purchased by Americans. provided these
purchasers give orders for a correspond
ing amount Of tonnage in new ships to be
built in this country. The point in this,
it is said, is that when the owners pur-
chase the foreign ships and give the or
ders for the corresponding new ships. the
foreign ships at once begin TO gst the benz
definite delay of the building of the new
ones
