election law, one of which re-
quires the registration books to
be open during every Saturday
from the first day of September
to and including the last Satur-
day next preceding the election. y
Heretofore the registration books
We're open on the first Saturday
in August.
Under the law now person
who registered at the preceding
election and is still a voter in the
same precinct is not required to
register again, the registrar be-
ing required to transfer all such
names to the new election reg
lister. Here is the law on the
subject
The board must also furnish
the election register of the quail
fed electors of the precinct made
at the last general election, or
when from any cause the regis
ter cannot be sent, certified
copy thereof. The registrar
must Immediately upon receipt
of such election register or copy
thereof, revise the same by strik-
ing therefrom the names of all
persons, who by death, removal
from change in the boundaries
of the precinct, or from other
cause, have ceased to be qualifi-
ed voters in such precinct, or
who may have been, from any
cause, wrongfully registered;
and upon so striking out the
name of any voter who is still
residing within the precinct as it
existed at the last general cleo
tion, he must Immediately give
him written notice that his
name has been so stricken from
the register, and any person
whose name has been so stricken
out may again apply, in the pre-
cinct where he resides. for regis
tration, but no elector who has
been duly registered and whose
name has not been so stricken
out, shall continue a qualified
voter in the precinct where reg
istered until otherwise notified.
and this provision applies to all
electors registered at and for the
last general election.
The compensation of registr-
ars is also changed to conform
to the above provision, as shown
by the following
The several registrars shall
receive such compensation as
shall be allowed by the Board of
County Commissioners, which in
no case shall exceed twenty-five
cents for each new name newly
registered and 10 cents for each
name appearing on the last elec-
ton register which is carried to
the new election register, and
the compensation herein pro-
vided for shall be paid out OF the
Current Expense Fund"

a RICH ORE STRIKE MADE ON nat.
ESTES NEAR CUSTER.

Many rich ore strikes have
been made in Custer county since
its pioneer days of placer min
ing, but no richer quartz strike
than was made recently on the
Boomerang mine, Estes Noun
tain, owned by Mr.. E. G. Dodge
of Challis, and others, was ever
made in the history of the coun-
ty withing our knowledge.
Estes Mountain has always
been known since its first ore
discovery years ago by Mr.. Es-
tes-from which the mountain
derived its name as abounding
in exceedingly rich gold ore, and
a vast amount of wealth has been
produced from its various mines,
especially the Montana and Yam
kee Fork mines, and all who
have ever visited this locality
and are familiar with mining, are
frank in expressing their opin-
ions relative to the mineral
wealth of Estes Mountain, and
believe that vast mineral depos-
its exist there greater than has
yet been discovered and that
the mother lode, if ever foand,
will be almost solid gold. From
the rich ore taken from the
Boomerang claim of late, would
indicate that possibly that it
might be the mother lode the
richness of its ores would lead
one to believe that it was.
Estes Mountain is the highest
mountain peak in the Yankee
Fork country. The general for
nation of the rock that carries
mineral values is porphyry. The
ores in most of its mines are
free milling, and the gold is of a
high grade quality. The mines
of this district many of them
have been worked for years in
a limited manner by their own
ers, who have not had sufficient
capital to develop them to any
depth, while many of the claims
have only been developed by the
annual assessment work to hold
them. Lack of capital has been
the drawback to the district, and
about the only work that has
been done by prospectors who
were unable to delve for ore.
Time will come, if capital can be
induced to invest, Estes Noun
tain will be the greatest gold
producing region in the West.
The rich ore that we refer to
in the Boomerang mine was dis
by Mr.. Dodge while do
ing assessment work, was un-
near the surface. 1t is
covered with wire and
leaf gold, and does not require a
glass to see it. These specimens
run $50, 900 per ton in gold, and
when panned the bottom of the
pan is one mass of small wire
and shines like newly
made bar of gold bullion. The
ore is found in granite and por-
phyry and resembles the ores of
Thunder Mountain. The ledge
is four feet across and is becom-
ing wider and more permanent |
as depth is attained, and the
whole ledge can be milled at a
good profit.
Mr.. Dodge was one of the or
iginal discoverers of the famous /
General Custer mine at Custer,
away back in the seventies. Mr..
Dodge invites those who care to
see these rich ore specimens to
,all. He has about a hundred
IF them.
1t is the intention of the own
IFS of the Boomerang to incor-
oorate the property in connec-
ion with some sdjoining mines.
