Edward Hanger has received re-
turns from the assayer who tested
some of the samples of gold ore
found and located by himself aud
Walter Bennett in the Florence
basin last summer. They gave
results as follows: $214 So; S3l1 81;
S491. IA, these being all gold values
per ton. From the Horseshoe
claim, on the breaks of Salmon
river. upon which Mr.. Bennett is
now doing development work, assay
returns Of S2749.S4 in gold per ton
were received. Several other claims
in the Florence basin have lot OF
uncommonly good ore on their
dumps which the owners win have
worked in. Anderson Bros. stamp
mill as soon as possible. All which
goes to show that old Florence will
soon forge ahead and join Buffalo
Hump and Dixie in turning out
gold bullion with which to grease
the wheels Of commerce. Robert
Mclean expects to install mill
early in the coming spring with
which to treat the ores from the
Gilt Edge claim, upon which he is
now sinking double compartment
shaft for the Minneapolis capitalists
who own the controlling interest in
this property.
