MARSHALL LAKE DISTRICT,
Bound to Become One Of the
Richest Mining Sections.

Bound to Become One Of the
Richest Mining Sections.
A private letter from Bear creek
says the Marshall lake district is
bound to become one Of the richest
mining districts in the state. l he
snow is all gone and prospectors
are scattering into the hills which
have hitherto remained UNEMPLOYED.
The present season should show NJ
some good finds in that section,
and the fact that it is only ten
miles from the state wagon road
should stimulate the activity of
prospectOrs. The great essentials
Of profitable mining work-wood,
water and abundant horse feed,
added to the low attitudes, should
prove important factors in hasten
ing the sale and exploitation Of
really meritorious mining PROPOSE
tons in thas district. Keep YOUR
eye on Marshall lake, for it is a
section that il going to be heard
from in the next few years.

DIXIE NORTH STAR NINE,
There Is Renewed Activity in
Various Districts,

Leo Bye, manager of the North
Star mine in Dixie district, reports
= large force of men now at work
on that property preparing for the
erection Of the stamp mill which is
to be installed there this summer.
He says the foundation is COM

At the conclusion of the session
excursions will be organized to va

many years, and was once located
BY the late John Cary. At that
time the ore was too low grade to

HE DISCOVERED CiNNAeAR
Man Spent Years In Looking
for the Ledge.

Luther job nson, q well.kuowu
prospector who formerly mined in
Warren. where he discovered and
worked the old Mayflower mine on
Spring gulch, has made q discovery
of cinnabar ore on the east fork Of
the the middle fork OF the Salmon
river. Mr.. johnson has been
prospecting for this identical ledge
for some years and has done con.
siderable work tracing it up. He
thought he had discovered the lead
some years ago, when he came ontn
some float which was very rich in
native quicksilver, but failed ut
that time to fnd the ledge, This
year he has had better success. aid
the specimens he brought into
Warren recently are 90 rich in the
fluid that driving pick into them
the native quicksilver flowed out.
This is an important discovery.
and We hope it will develop into
something good. for quicksilver ores
are rare, and outside of the New
Almaden mines in California aud
the big mines on the Spanish PENN
sula no deposits Of commercial value
have ever been found. Some float
was found in the old Miller's camp
diggings, near the Burgdorf hot
springs, in the early days, but the
ledge has never been found, a.
though the late Senator George
Hearst, of California, had considi-
cradle prospecting done in that
camp for the purpose Of finding il.
A. F. Parker, Of this city, has
some of the Miller's camp float
which he values highly on account
OF its rarity. Thus rs time pro-

ing his mining interests. Speaking
of Marshall lake, Mr.. Spslding said'
II can confirm the reports which
have come out from Bear creek of
the numerous rich strikes which
have been made in that district,
but at the present time there is
nothing particular to show except
what development work has been
done. Like all the other mining
districts Of Idaho county, Marshall
lake needs development work to
bring it prominently before the in
vest0rs who are looking this way
for mines into which to put their
surplus funds. Outside of the
Jewel mine there is but little work
being done in the district. The
Jewel mill is running right along
on ore from the Jewel mine and is
reported to be paying well. The
Treasure Hill property is showing
up q fine proposition. The latest
discoveries are being made on the
heads of Gary, Long Tom, Maxwell
and California creeks, which all
head up In Marshall mountain. l
have faith that the district will
prove permanent one."
Speaking of the conditions in

II have been representing the

partment shaft is being sunk with
the ntion of sinking 100 feet,
where they expect to run onto an
ore body which shows elsewhere
on the claim. There are good open.
ings in Florence for mining men
of practical experience to take hold
OF the Blossom, Waverly, Banner,
Goldbug, Hi-yu and Spokane prop
critics. On all these claims consid-
cradle work has been done aud mill
tests made which paid very we'll.
The trouble has been incompetent
and inexperienced management.
All these mines still have good ore
% far as developed, and it can be
said that nothing has ever played
out in old Florence. / believe the
solution Of the difficulties in that
camp will be found in the intro
duction of roller mills instead oil
stamp mills, as the ore is soft and
shines too readily, Touring the
quicksilver and losing the values

prospect that the old Ozark prop

COUNTY ASSESSMENTS.

In . recent issue OF the FREE
Press the name Of i. +. Horning
was mentioned - > possible aspi-
rant for tie nomination for county
assessor on the democratic ticket
this fall. Mr.. Horning writes us
that he is not . candidate for that
or any other Office, ~ he has his
hands full looking after his big
ranch in the Tolo country. And
he goes on to say that the salary
Of that Office Is altogether made
quate for the amount Of work In.
yolved in its duties.
Mr.. Horning is right. The sal-
AIRY OF the county assessor 10 inad-
quate. The commissioners two
years ago fixed the salary OF the
present incumbent at $1,000 per
year. Out of this salary Mr.. Over
man paid out last year s7l5 for
deputy hire and their expenses.
In addition to the $1,000 salary the
county pays nothing but the horse
hire and horse feed, the officer pay
ing oil his other expenses, such ~
board and lodging. These are very
material facts for the taxpayers 70
consider. The Office Of assessor,
while the most important ol1ios in
the county from the material and
financial point Of view, Is the worst
paid Office in the list Of county
officials.
This 10 particularly true OF q

TO TELL GOOD CIGARS.

The judges of good cigars in this
country are few and far between,
says an expert. The great difficulty
with the people who think they know
cigars is that they lay too much stress
on the color of the weed. The color
makes not the slightest difference,
and you are just as likely to find one
of the rankest kind of cigars with the
deep black color of the genuine Ha-
vana as you are to find bad one
among those that are yellow as straw.
The best way to tell a cigar is by
the feel of it. Take a cigar in your
hands and give it a gentle pressure,
holding it close to the ear. If the
cigar is a good one, it will be Just
the least little bit flexible, and the
fingers will sink into the wrapper.
1t gives forth no perceptible sound.
If the CIGAR is hard os1d d-a14--- ---.a1l-1-
and when placed to the ear sounds as
though you were pressing straw to-
gether, beware. The best cigars are
made of the same leaf as the wrapper
and are closely rolled. The common
cigars are what is known as filled
and contain all kinds of refuse from
the tables where the good cigars are
made. There are some filled cigars
that are good smokes, but you sell
dom find Havana or a Manila or
good Cuban or Key West smoke that
is not rolled. Many people who go
into cigar stores to get an imported
smoke do not follow up the salesman
when he takes the cigars from the
case and are consequently often fool
ed. They are given domestic frauds
and are charged imported prices for
them.
These good cigar judges" cannot
tell the difference when there is all
the difference in the world. If you
must have all imported smoke, make
the clerk hand you the box and look
closely at the revenue stamp. The
stamps on domestic goods are green
and white, while those on the i'm
ported boxes are all yellow and white.
Look into the next cigar cases you
see before purchasing an imported
cigar. If they have no boxes in the
case to which is attached yellow
and white stamp, don't attempt to
make purchase. The clerk will
sell you cigar he calls imported,
but it will not be the real article
