MINING NOTES.

The Snow Storm has shipped anoth
err carload of ore to the smelter. The
Snow Storm is a copper property, stu.
ated three or four miles above Mullan
Idaho.
There is a growing impression that
the reported discovery of rich gravel
| in the big bend of the Snake river near
Ontario, Ore, has more to it than has
been supposed.
1t is rumored that w. A. Clark of
Montana during his recent trip to Eu-
rope came to ST. Petersburg and Mos
cow incognito and with a certain I'M
named count invested 100000 rubles
| in Ural copper mines.
Murray, Idaho, has been experiencing
genuine stampede because of reported
discoveries of rich rock 'up the North
| Fork" That is very indefinite ex-
preston but it is as good as can be
on the stampede
A most peculiar deposit has been dis
covered near Asotin and Lewiston.
Idaho. The product has a woody fiber
and burns with bright fame like dry
wood. There is on occasions a sputter-
ing like there might be oil in the sub
stance, but there is no book on btu
mems that treats Of 1T in any manner.
Drifting has commenced on both
lodges in the Humming Bird, near
Burke, where the strike was made in
the second ledge recently While the
first strike was not SO great as first re-
ported, the ore being largely concen-
trating instead of all shipping, yet in
both lodges there has been a marked
improvement since drifting began.
What is said to be one of the richest
strikes ever made in southern Idaho is
reported from Owyhee county, not more
than three miles from Silver City. The
property is owned by another man,
Robert Noble, the Owyhee sheep king
and another man. They have found a
ledge over eight feet wide and the ore
runs over 500 ton.
According to the statement of G. A.
Jones, Spokane prospector, who has
arrived in Spokane from the Bitter
Root district, the country around Orc
f1no, Wash, certainly contains a vari-
ETY. of minerals. He brought with him
some samples of onyx and magnesia
which he says he has recently uncov-
cred within three miles of Orofino.
Charles Sweeny has been made de-
PENDANT in another mining suit involv-
ing an eighth interest in the famous
Skookum mining claim at Wardner
Idaho. The suit is similar to the case
tried at San Francisco in which Ken
nedy ]. Hanley was plaintiff. The
plaintiff in the second suit which was
filed in the United States circuit court
at Moscow by Attorneys Graves &
Graves, is w. c. Murphy, a wholesale
grocer of Missoula, Mont.
The Northport Smelling & Refining
company filed articles of incorporation
with the county recorder at Wallace,
Idaho, w. B. Hepburn. e. M. Hepburn,
w. B. Sans, D. c. Corbin and James w.
Morrison are the incorporators Wal
lace is named as the principal place Of

Frank e. Johnesse has just come out
from the Crooks Corral district, on
Salmon river, Idaho, where he has been
| developing the Blue Jacket mine, on
which he has bond. This is the prop
| erty developed by Finch & Campbell,
who threw up the bond after exepend-
ing $4,000 in development work. Since
that time Mr.. Johnesse has run cross
cut from the 200 foot level, cutting the
ledge, where it shows II feet of pay
ore. He has 500 tons of shipping ore on
the dump and estimates that the slopes
show $150,0O0 worth of good smelling
ore which would all stand shipping if
a steamboat should be put no the upper
| Snake river.
