Reports confirming the importance
of the placer finds on the st. Maries
river, near Santa, continue to come in
and the excitement is increasing. The
new diggings are 45 miles from Tekoa
James and Henry Tyson and J. B. Rem
fro have a placer claim on Cedar creek
in Camas Cove district, that promises
to be one of the greatest placer claims
in that country. With proper appli-
ances, and under favorable conditions,
two experienced miners can take out
from $40 to $50 per day But this is
| the only claim in the district in which
very valuable discoveries have yet been
made. The gulch in which the discov-
cry claim is located has been staked
from the summit Of the mountain to
the point where it empties into Camas
/ Cove creek, there being six claims IN
the gulch and two on small gulches
which run into it. Veteran prospec-
tors say the region where the strikes
are reported has long been source of
speculation, but the dense forest
growth, huge trees and almost impene-
trable brush have prevented close in
vestigation. There is, therefore, virgin
territory to be explored on both sides
of the ridge in northwestern Idaho's
gold belt.
One more victory has been won in
the old Deer Trail fight over the vein
of the Elephant claim. This time, how
ever, the victory is in favor Of the Ce-
dar Canyon company. While 1t looked
as though Yarwood had snatched vic
tory from defeat at the last ruling, the
one last week is another turn of af-
fairs, being a victory for the attorneys
for the Cedar Canyon company.
A deed was made of record at Red
ding, Cal, in which Captain Joseph r.
Delamar, the millionaire mine owner
of New York and Paris, transfers to
the Bully Hill Copper Mining & Smelt-
ing company, in consideration of 81
249 900, the Bull Hill mines and smelt-
ing plant near Copper City, rs miles
northeast of Redding. The Bully Hill
mine is a great copper property, at
which a complete smelter and convert
ing plant has just been installed.
The historic Idaho camp of Dixie
promises a revival this season that will
place it we'll in the front rank OF the
gold producing sections of the state.
Dixie is in about the center of Idaho
county and not far from the we'll
known Buffalo Hump, which is also
coming forward as possible gold pro-
Queer of magnitude. 1t is in the free
milling gold belt of central Idaho and
