fine talk showing the necessity and

Beard who said he had been in the
ministry for twenty-three years and
had never failed to carry up to con-
ference the assessment OF his charge
for this cause. and that the Newberry
circuit would not fail him. It de-
\veloped that one Of the churches had
raised the amount and had a surplus
and that the others would be ready

IVAN" HAS a CLOSE CALL.

James H. VanCamp, one of
the earliest settlers in Custer
county, last Tuesday afternoon,
July 26th, had a close call from
resting in watery grave in old
Salmon river. On that day he
was fording the river prepara-
tory to going to Small Bros.
ranch. He was fording at what
is known as the "Leaton ford. "
When part way across the river
the horses walked into deep
hole, and the swift current and
the strong volume water com
menced carrying the horses,
wagon and Mr.. VanCamp down
stream at a rapid rate. He saw
to remain with the horses and
wagon would cause him to lose
his own life, so he jumped and
commenced to swim and wade
for shore, and after heroic bat
tie with rapid and dangerous
river finally succeeded in reach
ing shore in safety, although his
strength had nearly given out,
but it was life or death, and his
old time energy when he fought
to keep the Union intact away
back in the early sixties came to
him, and he won the fight against
a mighty foe Salmon river.
Both horses one of which
was Grey jack" the trotting
horse-were drowned. Mr.. Van
Camp succeeded in getting his
wagon and harness out of the
river. The horses and wagon
when found were some distance
down stream from where they
had entered the ford.

Walsh, of Salt Lake, Miles Fin
len, of Butte, and others visited
the mine last week and decided
on an immediate enlargement OF
operations. A saw mill will be
installed and also an air com
pressor plant, and the force
largely increased. The com
pany is building a road from
Custer to the mine which will be
completed by September 18th.
The maximum grade is 10 per
cent. and the new road will give
great impetus to mining opera
tions in the district.
The visitors from Haley, who
own 10 claims adjoining the Lost
Packer on the east and south,
comprising the largest acreage
there under one ownership, were
greatly pleased with the show
ing on their properties. One OF
the claims ore was struck last
December that ran S597 a ton in
gold, and in another place S45 a
ton. The surface of all the
claims shows rich float, schist
mineralized and an abundance
OF aplite and ore in alternating
bands. Work is now being ac-
lively prosecuted on the above
claims under the foremanship of
John Kelley of HALEY. A cabin
has been built and force OF 8
or 10 men are engaged in driving
tunnels at favorable locations.

MINES UNDER OPTION.

That the plant and properties
of the Clayton Mining & Smelt-
ing company at Clayton, are
about to pass into the hands OF
an eastern syndicate under an
option involving no less sum
than 81, 100000, says the Salt
Lake Tribune, was again rumor-
ed on the streets of Salt Lake
yesterday, and, while the identi-
ty of the purchasing crowd has
not been divulged, the gossips
are quite positive that it will
ultimately be annexed to domains
over which the Guggenheim Ex-
ploration company's standard
has been raised. That it be
lieves in this conviction is, per-
haps, because e. w. Nash, presi-
dent of the Clayton company, is,
as president of the American
Smelling and Refining company,
necessarily in close touch with
the exploration company, and is
in complete knowledge of its
needs. In the absence OF Law
renee Greene, general manager
of the Idaho properties, there
was no one within reach yester-
day who could affirm or deny the
story. Mr.. Greene is at present
and has been at camp the great
er part of the month, but is ex-
pected in town hourly to meet
the representatives of the pur-
chasing syndicate, who, it is
said, are here incog. Another
theory is that the Federal Lead
company is the purchaser, but
that is but step from the ex-
ploration company's threshold.
The Clayton mines were pro
ductive for many years, and are
equipped with smelter, al
though the latter has not been
in commission for some time. 1t
is said that large volume of
bullion containing lead, silver
and gold is now piled up at camp,
where it is awaiting more in
expensive outlet than the wagon
road provides. Another story
in connection with the reported
deal is that in the event it is con-
summated an outlet by rail will
be provided. Among the con
tingent from Idaho much inter
est is manifested in the report
and the return of Manager
Greene is anxiously awaited.
