First Run on American EaSle Biggest
Cleanup Heretofore Made In
Idaho County.
SEVRH DAYS RUN RESULTED IN $3.50
Ore In Sight Estimated at $500, 1000
~ Reduce Force, but Carry On
4, Development.

The first run on the Ziegel creek
or American Eagle mines near Elk
City, operated by r. M. Sherman,
has been made, and for p weeks
run with q 1O-stamp mill is with
out question the biggest cleanup
ever made in Idaho county. The
cleanup made two bricks as the re-
turns Of ia tons crushed in seven
days actual running time. There
were 212 ounces of bullion which,
at S15 an ounce, gives total value
Of $3.50. OF the ia tons OF ore
crushed 80 tons we're taken from
the slopes in the upper tunnel and
the balance of "a tons from the
lower tunnel.
The ore in the upper tunnel
averaged $23.13 per ton and the
plates saved over 500 per ton. The
ore crushed from the lower work.
ings assayed $500 q ton, and Of
this amount $55 was saved. The
average of the ia tons crushed is
nearly $28 ton. III
Mr.. Sherman is now in Spokane,
and in speaking Of the run to a
Review reporter he said:
"We are thoroughly satisfied
with the returns; in fact we could
not feel otherwise; the figures
speak for themselves. The highest
assay we received from the tailings
was during the first days run and
amounted to $4.57. while the low
est was obtained on the last day and
amounted to only $1.41. We had
a ton OF concentrates that assayed
$1O5. The ore crushed from the
upper tunnel was taken from three
slopes in which the ore varies bott
in magnitude and value. In one
stope there is 10 feet of $40 ore; il
another 6 feet Of S33 ore, and ir
the other 4 feet Of S21 ore. These
workings are at depth Of 14O feet
"The lower tunnel has q deptt
of 24O feet and the vein varies from
IL to 20 feet in width and gives ar
average assay value of $50 a ton
We are drifting on the vein.
"Since commencing operations
the first Of November, 1901, W.
have done 1900 feet of under
ground work and a most conserv
alive estimate places the ore il
sight at $500, 900. In surface worl
we have expended $40, 1000. Witt
this amount we have purchases
and erected q sawmill, stamp mil
and have built wagon roads an,
made other improvements. w
have constructed two boardin
houses, two bunkhouses, stable an

rious buildings has been obtaine

MR.. SHAW MAKES THREATS
Will Defeat All Who Oppose a
New County.

New County.
GREGG, Idaho, Jan. l2.-Editor
Free Press: 1 will ask you as a
favor to give me space in yonr pa
per to present to all fair-minded
people this county division scheme.
Now, Mr.. Editor, it is funda-
mental principle-one that will
never die with all true democrats
that governments are set apart for
the benefit Of the people to be gov
erned. This cannot be denied.
All we are asking. is new county;
one on lines that geographically
and in every respect will benefit
every person in the new county,
1t places every person in the coun-
ty nearer TO the county seat, saves
them a lot of expense in making
the trip, and in one day they can
do the work that at present takes
them three days to do.
Now, as to taxes. passed
through one county division when
Latah county was cut off from Nez
Perce. The same cry was raised
that is being raised against this di-
vision-it would raise our taxes.
Latah county built fine court
house at cost Of $50, 900 and made
other improvements, spending al
together more than 500, 900, and
after taking her proportion of the
debt, which was large, our taxes
were reduced the first year, and
now Latah stands very nearly out
of debt.
Instead of harm, the new county
here would work a benefit. II
would be one Of the finest and
wealthiest counties in the STATE
and would not materially hurt
either of the counties that woult
lose territory. Now, as to taxes
again, our assessed valuation thi'
year (19O2) was $3.50, 900 higher
than the year 1901. Are our taxes
lower in Idaho county? No, sir
they are higher. Where have the.
gone? Our roads are still impassa
BILE and very few OF our school
have more than four months schoo
in the year. Another thing: ther
belongs to our road district Ger
tain per cent of tax. Woodlan
: DAD gets about 50 worth of tools
Gregg and Glover road gets 50
worth of tools. Where has on
money gone? If it is put on an
other road it is not right. Thes
are facts.
Two years ago the Clearwate
country asked for q com missioner
, Mr.. Editor, the city of Grangevill
deliberately beat Mr.. Dime.
There is where it was done, but "
. forgot it, and last election by prett
J near q solid vote said we will bel
you Grangeville people to doub
q the value Of your property, an
= now when we want what is just [
2 valuable to us we are called fool
= The man or men who help
beat this new county need new
expect the vote Of this part Of Il
county. We will forget party lin
when that time comes. Now\
. careful, for our time will come, a
e that very soon. The informati'
: you get about the people changi
} their minds is false. Your Cles
u water correspondent is not to blaI
's as he don't know the sentiment
his own people. We have hu
T. dreds of names on our petitiO
and could get the same nan

and almost swore with soft coal, last

last ton of winters supply of anthra-

of the Court house that made him feel
happy, Thursday. On the same day
the last of the winters supply of hard

Travel into the State from Massa-
chusetts and New York continues to
show an increase and heavy trains are
the result. A few afternoons ago the
12.45 p, NJ. train out of Portland con-
sisted of Is cars, Pullmans, ordinary
day coaches, mail and baggage cars
All of them were heavily loaded. 1t Is
no uncommon thing to find the de-
mands for room in the trains so great
that ladies are forced to find quarters
in the smoking cars. The travel \out
of the state, while less than that in the
opposite direction, is much heavier
than usual at this time in the year.
