A New Find.

n. +. Nelson arrived here las'
Thursday night from his rich min
ing locations on the headwaters o.
a creek that empties in the South
Boise river near Bascom ranch, and
about ten miles from Atlanta
While prospecting last summer
Nelse and John McCabe found and
located some valuable mines, the
locality of which, for good reasons,
they refused to divulge. This
spring Nelse and McCabe pulled
out for their new find and they
have since been diligently develop
ing il and with remarkable success
The lode is large and we'll defined.
1t is cut by the creek and they have
| splendid opportunity to gain great
depth on either side of the stream.
The ledge is enormous in width and
assays in gold from $4.00 to $500.
90 per ton, and is free milling ore.
Many specimens were brought out
by Nelse, which he has on exhibit
ton at Lawyer McLaughlin's office,
next door to the postoffice, in some
of which gold is plentifully visible
to the naked eye. Sfficient work
has been done this summer on the
ledge to regard it as one of the most
valuable and important finds ever
uncovered in that section, which
can be readily approached by fol-
lowing the gulch up from the South
! Boise river.
John McCabe, Nelse's partner in
the discovery, remained on the
ground while Nelse came out for
supplies and to show his specimens
of ore. May the new discovery
prove more rich than its fortunate
owners believe it to be, is the wish
ofall their friends.
