| Word was sent out from Gust
| er last week that under the able
management of J. A. Czizek, the
ledge in the Lost Packer mine at
Loon creek was struck the other
day. This new strike places the
Packer to the front as one of the
great mines of Idaho. Its man
ager, Mr.. Czizek. is thorough
and competent mining man and
it is through his untiring efforts
that the mine has been develop
ed to its present extent. The
new ledge is four feet in width
and was uncovered at a good
depth which denotes a perman-
ent ore body. Assays of the vein
show 500 ton in gold, and an
| 18 inch vein found in the main
ledge runs as high as 81, 200 in
gold to the ton. The new dis
covery has caused great rejoic-
ing among the stockholders and
others, and has also infused new
life in the mines at Loon creek.
