The main divide at the head o.
the canyon shows a core Of gran

ly inclined belts of quartzite.
slate, blue and gray limestone,
shale and tertiary lavas in the
order named that dip to the east
towards the Salmon river.
The canyon walls are very alb
rupt and the elevations rise to
lofty mountain peaks 10,0 feet
on either hand. The veins are
generally parallel to the axis of
the mountains and cross the
canyon at a sharp angle, giving
exceptional advantages for adit
tunnel work.
The Ramshorn mine, in the
slate belt, is one of the best de-
veloped mines in the State. 1t
is opened on a true assure vein
which strikes due north and
south, and dips west at an angle
of fifty degrees. 1t has twelve
adit tunnels started and driven
in IN the vein, and connected
underground with raises. One
of these tunnels is 5000 feet in
length and has gained a face
depth on the vein of 1000 feet.
This mine carries a total of ten
miles of underground work and
has produced So, 900, 900. 1t has
ore reserves now blocked out
estimated to contain a like
amount.
The average ore of this mine
runs about 100 ounces silver and
three per cent copper, and oc-
ours in well defined shoots six
inches to six feet wide and from
so to 300 feet long. The Sky
lark vein, running nearly par
allel with the Ramshorn but
having a flatter dip, is the same
type of a mine with exactly the
same class of ore and gangue
and nearly as much development
has produced 50, 700, 900. 1t is
worked up closer than the Rams
horn.
Selected ore from these mines,
which occurs in streeks of from
. few inches to a foot or more
runs from 500 to 1000 ozs.
and 10 to 20 per cent cop
per per ton, and considerable
quantities of this high grade
material have been shipped from
both of these mines.
The principal lead mines of
this district occur in the lime
stone belt three miles below the
silver veins above described.
The most important deposit that
has been worked, in point of
production, is ON the Beardsley-
Excelsior vein, a nearly vertical
assure cutting a heavy bed
led series of gray, blue and
black limestone. The ore occur
ed in great pipe-shaped shoots
to 20 feet wide and from 40 to
30 feet long, filed with sand,
carbonate of lead and nodules of
yalena.
These pipes were worked

produced a 1000, 900 ounces of
silver and about $50, 900 units of

State Mining Inspector, 1908, O
Custer county, Idaho.
A few miles southeast of Stan
ley Basin, in Washington Basin
at the head of East Fork of the
Salmon river, some extensive de
velopment work has been done
on the Blackman group, which
discloses monster gold bearing
quartz assures in eruptive gran.
lite, which are as much as seventy
feet wide. These veins contain
some very good ore, but on the
average they n low grade. The
gre is a shattered white quartz

phides and carries in addition to
its gold values a small per cent
of nickle.

Custer county's principal lead
silver belt extends along the
main Salmon river from Slate
creek to Garden creek, a distance
of forty miles and following a
general north and south direc-
tion.
The principal districts in the
order of bullion produced are
Bayhorse, Squaw creek, Poverty
Flat, Clayton and Slate creek.
The total output of these camps
Appropriated nearly SIS, 900, 900.
Since the fall of silver, the
mining industry of this belt has
fallen to a low ebb owing to it's
isolation. One small smelter at
Clayton, with a capacity of fifty
tons daily, however, has been
run a few months each season
during all the years of low silv-
er prices, until the past year. 1t
made handsome annual profits,
amounting to nearly one hundred
percent on an invested capital Of
quarter of a million dollars, but
owing to q lack of available wet
ore in this company's mines, the
smelter was not run during 1903
and the output of this belt,
amounting to 480, 900 pounds of
lead and about 80, 900 ounces of
silver, was largely derived from
small leasing crews at Bayhorse.
A deal was on foot during the
year to merge the principal min
es into one company and there is
a bright prospect that it will be
consummated in the near future;
such q combination would afford
a mixture of ores that would
produce a desirable shelter
charge and would bring the dis
trict out as a big producer again.
AS it is, the properties cannot be
worked to an advantage senara-
tely. The list of mines which
are intended to put into this com
bination have ore reserves in
sight estimated to contain S.
900, 900 ounces of silver and half
as many units of lead, together
with very extensive reserves of
virgin ground which promises to
yield an enormous resource Of
ore for further development.
The mines of this belt are di-
vided into two quite distinct
classes. Their ores occur as ir-
regular deposits of carbonate
and galena lead silver ore in
limestone, and as pronounced
assure veins in slate carrying
high grade silver ore. The lead
carry proportionally high
values, seldom running
less than one ounce of silver to a
unit of lead, and in some instan-
ces carry several dollars in gold
to the ton of ore.
The silver ores are usually
.hlorides and rich silver bearing
gray copper ore in a gangue of
massive siderite carbonate of

A Deserved Compliment.

The people of the State have
done well by United States Sena-
tor Murphy J. Foster; they have
selected him as his own successor
by a majority of 1888.
This is a deserved compliment
to a worthy public official.
1t also means that the people
have exercised a sound discretion
in making their selection for
United States Senator. The flat
tering endorsement given Senator
Foster will greatly strengthen him
in the councils of the Senate, and
thereby enable him to be more
useful in the advocacy of our in
terests and in the defense of our
rights in the halls of congress.
The Sentinel is particularly
glad to see that Senator Foster
has been triumphantly nominated,
as it has taken a particular in
terest in his cause, and furthered
it to the extent of its ability

1t is only a few years since a
British battalion had to cut its
way through the jungle to reach
Comassle, the capital of the Ash
anti King Prempeh, whose atroc-
tiles had aroused British retalia-
ton. Now a railroad 1870 miles
long joins that city with the Gold
Coast. 1t has been built on the
most modern plans of railroad
construction, the ties being steel,
and the bridges made of the same
metal and resting on concrete
piers. 1t cost $4,000, 600, but it
has opened up a rich gold-bear-
ing district and given a wonderful
impetus to the mining industry
in the colony.

Caldwell Waterman: There are
thousands of acres of fine farming
lands in this parish that will not
be worked this year on account of
the scarcity of labor. Many of
the farm hands have taken work
at the big saw mills throughout
the country, believing it to be
more remunerative than the pro-
duction of crops on the farms,
and thereby leaving vast acres of
fertile lands to grow grass and
weeds.

YOUNG WOMEN AND COLLEGE.

The newspapers have gotten around
to their annual editorials on the college
girl problem. The statement of DIR.
Smith, OF Toronto, made before the
American College of Medicine, is there
fore in time for analytic editorial opin-
ion regarding the same.
DIR. Smith said that college educa-
ton rendered wifehood and motherhood
distasteful and disgusting to women;
that i'll health among the women in the
United States had increased enormously
in the last fifty years and 50 had the
percentage OF unmarried women. The
cause of it all was, he said due to the
forcing process in vogue in womeu's
colleges. The girl who goes through
college comes out with unsettled nerves
and enfeebled brain.
lit does look on the face of it that
Dir. Smith used his statistics wrongly
in estimating the increasing i'll health
Of women in this country and connect
ing it with the college eduea ton. Just
how he can take the total number OF
women in the United States and note
the increase in their i'll health and then
say the women's colleges in tae coun-
try are responsible for it all, Is not
