Development OF Idaho.

The west is in bat the first stage of
its development. The east has at last
awakened to the fact that this is not a
country inhabited by Indians and
bears. Our resources are becoming
known, and it is with surprise being
found out that our people are fully as
intelligent and well educated as those
along the Atlantic borders. From the
rush of people that will pour down the
west slope of the Rockies, Idaho will
get her proportionate share. She has
to compete, not with western Oregon,
Washington, or the state of California,
for these have long been settled, and
consequently the land is comparative
, ly all taken up and much worn by
long, constant use, but we must COM
pete chiefly with the eastern parts of
Washington and Oregon, with a soil
and climate much similar to our own.
There is no question but the virgin
soil and the excellent climate will stay
the advance or many Immigrants
before they reach the Pacific. Much
depends, however, on making our re-
sources and capabilities known.
Boards of trade of different towns
should work intelligently toward max
ing an exposition of our products.
Much is to be gained by advertising,
much by state and country fairs, and
exhibits by chambers of commerce and
private effort. Nothing is gained bv
disparaging others sections of the
state, for the purpose of upbuilding
our own. Their loss does not mean
our gain always, but their gain most
often is our gain. The old economic
doctrine that one mans loss is an
Others gain has long been exploded.
Jealousy between town and town,
county and county, will undoubtedly
retard the growth of any state. Let
us work harmoniously aud consistent
ly toward the common end of improv-
ing our state.--Idaho Leader.

Oh Potosi Lead Mine.

Frank o. Wilkeson leaves this even
ing for Sandy valley, the Green Mon
ster mine and Resting springs. He
will take out an increased force of men
for the Green Monster mine and will
push development work from this time
on. The property belongs to Mrs.
Phoebe A. Hearst of San Francisco.
Mr.. Wilkeson is confident the railroad
will be extended from Marvel this fall
to the Nevada state line if not further
The road will be compelled, he thinks,
to go up into the Yellow Pine district
Mr.. Wilkeson was asked yesterday if
he had ever seen the famous Potosi
lead mine up there. "Oh yes" said he.
II have, and I'll tell you it is big one;
but they can't afford to pay 800 a ton
to get the ore to smelter. You know
the Mormons worked that mine long
time ago. Ii was there that the Nor
mon army got the lead for bullets
when they were going to fight the
United States army. Mountain Mead
ows where the celebrated massacre
took place, is not far from the Potosi
mine. The old smelter that the Nor
mons used in smelling ore from the
mine is still standing there though in
dilapidated condition. 1t was a very
crude affair even when it was at its
best. Part of the ore was smelted on
huge fiat rocks simply by building up
a big fire, the lead being in an almost
metallic state when taken from the
mine. | believe it is one of the richest
lead mines in the country, and there
are others up there just as good.-Los

A New Milling Process.

A demonstration of Mays gold ex-
traction process was made on Thurs
day at the works of the Foreign and
Colonial Gold Recovery and Trading
company Limited) at l6 Wurtemburg
street, Clapham, S. w. From the ex-
PLANTATION of the process given by Off
cials of the company, it appears that
the ore, after being crushed, is exposed
to the action of solution of caustic
alkalis or alkaline carbonates (used
either separately or mixed) contained
in specially designed vats, the solution
being heated by waste steam, and is
kept in state Of agitation, which is
effected by the rotation or the internal
mechanical arrangement of the vats.
The period required for treatment was
said to be from one to three hours,
according to the rebellious nature of
the ore. By this means the extraction
of the total gold contents from refrac-
tory ores is facilitated, and large pro-
portion of the precious metal which
would otherwise be irrecoverable is
saved. The ores, shines, etc, after be.
ing subjected to the action of the
chemicals, are then ready for anal.
gamation, and are run off in the ANAL
gamator into the settler. The anal.
gam is collected at intervals and
passed through the cleanup pan and,is
then ready for retorting and separa-
tion of the metal in the ordinary man
ner, the residues passing into pit. II
is claimed that the entire process is
continuous, the time required being
but from to 10 hours from the first to
the extraction of the gold and silver
1t was stated that the average cost was
only Is. Cd, per ten of ore treated

During the week Mike Lawler made
rich strike on his Treasury Vault
mine, Mineral Point district, situated
on the line of the United Verde rail
road, between Jerome junction and
Jerome. 1t will be remem bered that a
few months ago great excitement was
occasioned by the discovery of a rich
gold vein in the above district by
Weedin and Clune. Quite rush was
made for locations, Mike being among
the number. He secured three loca-
tions. The first or south extension he
named the Lucky Boy, the center
claim the Treasury Vault, and the
north extension the Red Rock. The
property is one and one-half miles
north of Davis siding, aud about three
and one-half miles from the Verde

Treasury Vault, that the rich strike
was made. In the bottom of 20-foot
shaft four-foot vein of ore was en-

The Placer Mines OF the Yaqui.

George II. Scott returned to El Paso
Yesterday from the Yaqui river conn
try. Mr. Scott is from Pulaski, Tenn.
aud came south for the benefit of his
health. He left here last January. and
has spent the intervening time travel
lug in the states Of Sonora aud Chi.
huahua. For two mouths he has been
placer mining along the banks of the
Aros river, tributary to the Yaaui.
He expresses the opinion that if mod
ern methods OF placer mining were
only inaugurated in that section of the
country big results would be realized.
The most primitive methods are
still in use," said Mr.. Scott "Tbe
Mexicans have no idea of modern i'm.
provements, and continue to work the
placer fields in the same old way that
was in vogue hundred years ago.
Many American miners are going into
the country, but as rule they are
poorly supplied with proper appliances
aud are forced to adopt the same ways
used by the Mexicans.
The California placer mining COM
pany that owns valuable placer claims
on the Aros river is shipping in con-
siderable machinery. The plan of the
company Is to dam the mo- It promising
tributaries of the Aros and turn the
course of the streams. Then it is pro.
posed to work the best of the streams.
Several dams for this purpose have al
ready been constructed and they have
started to secure the gold according to
the most approved methods of placer
mining as carried on at the present day.
The California company Is capitalized
for $50 0s of paid up capital, and has
already expended some l5,UoOs in car
rying out their plans"
"The results attained by individual
miners are very encouraging. There
are some men who have cleared up all
the way from 50 to LOG day and few
who have done better. This has been
accomplished by the old fashioned and
most crude methods of placer mining,
"A big syndicate has recently been
formed to work the dry beds of former
streams. The gravel is rich in coarse
gold. Hitherto the difficulty has been
a lack of water. The water will have
to be conducted by this means dis
tance of five miles. The new company
l. down as the Aros River Placer com
PAW, and Is composed of San Fran
cisco capitalists. The com pany has
secured 300 acres five miles from the
present bed of the Aros, aud about
forty miles from the mouth of the said
stream, Tests have been made of the
gravel taken from the claims of the
Aros River Placer Company, with the
most surprising results, and it is in
tended to begin operations without de-
lay"
Mr.. Scott has secured for himself
two claims in the iaqui river country
Both of them free milling gold propo-
sitions. He expects TO begin opera
tions upon his return to Sonora. He
is now on his way to Tennessee. He
hopes to have arrangements made to
return to Mexico the latter part of
next month.
Mr.. Scott is very enthusiastic over
the Sierra Madre country and predicts
for it bright and promising future
