Frank Graves, formerly of Seven
Devils, was in Weiser this week Oh
his return from Lewiston, where he
went to visit his brother.
He left Ballards landing two
months ago and made his way on
foot through the great box canyon Of
the Snake, taking the Oregon side.
He had a hard trip but made it through
all right He reports great activity
at Pittsburg landing, on the Idaho
side, and in the Imnaha district on
the Oregon side There is a fine
district down there and it is pretty
we'll located for distance of 40
miles along the Snake. There are
about 250 men in that neighborhood,
most of them being concentrated al
at the Tattle and Eureka mines.
The Tattte has large force 81
work and there are about so employ
ed at the Eureka where the site Ii
graded for smelter which will bs
run by electric power developed or

At Lewiston he saw Captain Harry
Boughman, who will run the nev

some are perhaps excusable on the

ssThe facts are that the assures of
this district are strictly so in every
sence of the word, cutting across the
stratifcation of the enclosed country
rock Independently of its dip and
strike. They are notable for their
persistency and can, in some instan-
ces, be traced without interruption
for two miles. The erosive action of
Bear creek has proven the perman-
ency of these veins to a vertical
depth of $50 feet without showing
any sign of pinching or deterioration
in gold contents. In fact some OF
