DUMP NO SNOW HERE.

The placard in question was along
side this order and as near rs could
be made out in the uncertain light
of early dawn ran in this wise:
'In other words, dump nothing
clean into the river. BIT full per-
mission is granted to dump therein
superannuatcd carts and sleighs, old
pals and barrels, tin cans and
waste paper. ashes, garbage and ri
sorts of filth"

Nine pheasants strohed into a
Pleasant street garden few days
ago and picked away an hour or so
at the vines and bushes that stuck
out Of the snow. 1t was an unusu-
/! ally large gathering Of these shy
birds, but two or three are often
seen in the same neighborhood and
farther down the river. On Bill
lings farm, where Il ey are bred,
there are about two hundred penned
up and there are more scattered
about the estate or in the neighbor-
ing woods. 1t is reported that II
good many have been shot during
the past open season, which is a
matter for regret, as they have only
been breeding on Billings farm for
Il few years and are not numerous
enough to warrant the destruction
OF any of them now.

WHAT THEY ARB DOING
| IN THUNDER DISTRICT.
900 FEET OF TUNNEL ON BURR OAK
40 POUNDS OF BULLION PER MONTH
FROM THE DEWEY.

The main trail to Boise CITY
passes through the group. Three
tunnels OF thirty-fve, forty-fve and
sixty feet have been driven. In the
sixty-foot tunnel assays chow values
for the last five feet, OF from 81 to
$36 per ton. The average value is
about $12, all free milling gold ere.
The width OF the ore body has not
been ascertained. The ore is quartz
porphyry in all degrees of hardness,
and in color from white to blue and
black.
In driving the tunnel on the
Georgia Holt claim for Hendricks
and Bernard, on Divide creek, John
Pearson says that ore was sent out
every five feet. for assay, every
seventy-fve feet Returns received
give an average value of the whole
length of the tunnel OF SO gold.
The developmentof of the ore body
in the Fairview property has disclos-
ed deposit of at least sixty feet
wide for the length Of two claims run
ming north and south, that will aver
age $40 ton. Several tale seams
were crossed in the ore body. One
of them is three feet wide and assays
s56 to the ton in gold.
The tunnel in the First National, al
the head of Trap creek, is being
steadily driven by Messrs. Brown
and Graham, and some fine looking
blue quartz is being taken out.
B. r. L. Poston and partners
have driven slxty-foot tunnel or
their group overlooking the town,
They report values up to 81 and
plenty of ore.
| Samuel Kimmell and Thomas
Richardson own a group of three
claims opposite the saw mill OF
Monumental creek. A tunnel Of
twenty feet has exposed good ore
and some charcoal similar to tina
found in the Dewey. Work will b.
continued this spring.

A new STRIKE
ON THE GLASGOW
Ore Said to Be High Grade
A Five-Foot Vein
Opened Up.

A report received from the Glas-
gov mine on Profile creek, in the
Thunder Mountain district, states
that strike of five-foot vein has
been made on the cross cut. The ore
is said to be of a high grade and has
caused considerable excitement in
the camp and has been a boom to
the properties on Profile creek. The
striking Of this vein on the cross cut
has given a permanency to the prop
erty and prominence to other hold
lngs IN this section, says the Lewis
ton Tribune.
The Glasgow was discovered by
John Patterson in the fall of 1901,
and about Is months ago was bonded
to company from Joplin, Mo-, for
$40. 900. This company commenced
the driving OF tunnel to tap the
lead to establish the permanency of
the vein and the opening of the rich
deposit is more than was really ex-
pected from the property.
The Glasgow joins and is an ex-
tension of the Castle group, owned
by Charles Jansen and associates.
The Castle group was located few
days prior to the Glasgow and is con-
sidered a most valuable location.
