The Salmon River Country.

j. 0. Levander, the pioneer mer-
chant of Golf, is in the city buying
more goods and reports everything
in most prosperous condition in
that section of Idaho county. The
Rankin company have been running
their mill for nearly month and it
is reported that the results obtained
are all that was claimed for the new
process and perfectly satisfactory.
The success of this company has
greatly stimulated confidence in the
camp and more men are now at work
than ever before. Mr.. Levander
also reports that Geo. Hartwig has
struck ore on the Oregon mine at a
depth of 100 feet A great deal of
work has been done on this property
and the new strike is proof that the
owners have a great mine.
Considerable business is coming to
Golf from the Marshal Lake district,
and petition will be presented to
the commissioners at their next
meeting for the creation of new
road district to take care of the
trail leading up Salmon river to theil
camp. They have also applied to
the department for a mail route from
Golf to Resort which will probably
be granted -Grangeville Free Press.

TELEPHONES IN MINES.
Use in Underground Work Is
Steadily Increasing

Gradually the mines Of this and
other countries are being equipped
with telephones above ard below
round. 1t is a curious fact that to
date but very little attention has
been paid by telephone manufacturers
to make telephones suitable for use un.
derground, probably due to the fact
that bat until very recently was any
attempt made to place telephones in
the underground workings of mines.
However, there are a number Of mines
already equipped, but these are with
telephones made after their own sug
gestions. The one great feature being
a dry box. But two telephone com
panies i'll the United States are known

A PLACER OF STEAMBOAT
Big Proposition Beins Developed
by Medford Men.

j. A. Whitman and J. d. Heard OF
Mcdford are in control of what
promises to be the biggest placer
mining proposition in Southern Ore
gon. The property is located on
Steve's Fork of Steamboat and COM
prises some $50 acres Of mining
ground, nearly all Of which prospects
rich from "grass roots to bedrock. "
Some Of the prospects obtained are SO
big that it is hard to believe they
were taken from just a few pans Of
dirt. The property was purchased
from Messrs. Shearer, Lewis, Arm
strong and Scott, and the new owners
have already been offered an advance
of two and half times the purchase
price. The water supply is abundant
Whitman and Heard will put 20 men
at work at once, and expect to be
piping within 40 or 30 days The
water supply is sufficient TO run the
year round, except PERHAPS few
weeks in the winter when the water
may freeze in the ditch. Later a
three-mile ditch will be built to cover
the whole property The location of
the property is such that it cannot
fail to be almost fabulOusly rich
The creek heads near the summit Of

opposite is the creek which fed the

OUR OPEN AIR CONCERTS
How the Grants Pass Band
Helps to Enliven the Summer.

On Friday evening the Grants Pass
band gave the second Of the series of
midsummer open air concerts. These
concerts arc the most enjoyable of the
features Of the summer season and
are continued throughout the months
Of June, July and August. This Gus
tom has prevailed for a number OF
years past and is one which the people
of this city would keenly regret to
see discontinued After the heat Of
the summer days the enjoyment of the
music is greatly enhanced by the
pleasure OF being out in the restful
evening air. Our band this year is
one of which we may be proud and
the music of these concerts is always
excellent and highly enjoyable.
