IDAHO LEADS.

Sixty seven out of 68 entries;
that is the remarkable showing
made by Idaho in agricultural
products as disclosed by the
findings of the agricultural jury
of awards at the Lewis and Clark
exposition. Of these SO were
gold medals, eight silver medals
and one an honorable mention.
Although Oregon leads in the
total number of awards, with
Colorado a close second, Idaho
is first in the proportion OF
awards received to the entries
made.
The credit for the showing
made is largely due to NJ. j.
Vessels, the Idaho agricultural
commissioner, and his wife, who
together made all the arrange
ments for the grain exhibits.
The manner of display, as well
as the excellence of the exhibit,
had much to do with the findings
of the jury.
The awards are for grasses,
wheat, oats, barley, rye, wool,
and purely agricultural PRODUCTS.
The list is as follows

BLACK HAWK MINING co.

Following is a report made on
the Black Hawk group of mines
situated in Seafoam, Custer Co., F,
Idaho, August both, 1905, by S.
G. Crandall
The Black Hawk group is sit
uated in Seafoam Mining district,
Custer county, Idaho. To reach
this property leave the Oregon
Short Line railway at Shoshone,
take the branch line to Ketchum,
thence by stage to Stanley, SO
miles, thence by wagon twenty
miles to within ten miles of the
property, (the State Road Com
mission has lately authorized the
building of the State road to
Seafoam.) A daily stage from
Mackay TO Robinson Bar, 20
miles below Stanley, can also be
taken to reach the property and
is much the more convenient
way.
This group consists of three
claims known as the Black
Hawk, Swell and Blue Jay.
Plenty of fine timber on claims
and near by for mining purpos-
es. A water power can be de-
veloped on the property by tax
ing out ditch not to exceed one
mile in length. A mill can be
erected on the south end of the
Swell claim. Two miles from
the Black Hawk group with a
down grade, there is now built
the Greyhound smelter.
A ledge runs through the
Swell and the Black Hawk in q
northerly direction, with a width

over A feet. This vein of ore
has been opened up by numer-
GUS open cuts. About 1900 feet
from the Seafoam creek, at the
south end of the Swell tunnel
80 feet long has been driven ON
the vein which is about 500 feet
in elevation above the creek at
the south end. The ledge is COW
cred from this tunnel to the
creek by surface debris and the
vein IS not exposed. This tun-
mel extended 400 feet into the
Black Hawk ground, will be
under tunnel No. 2, at a depth
of 300 feet. On the Black Hawk
there have been driven tunnels
numbered one and two. Tunnel
No. the farthest to the north
and up the mountain has been
driven 200 feet with an upraise
to the surface. Tunnel No. 2
has been driven $50 feet, two
hundred and fifty feet of which
is in the ore, with an upraise to
tunnel No. 1, which is about rs
feet in elevation. The ore body
is from 4 to 6 feet in width and
maintains this width in all three
tunnels. The walls are porphy-
ry On the hanging and quartz on
the foot wall.
In 1894 $1,000 worth of ore
was packed out to Ketchum,
which ran $3.50 per ton. At
dump No. 2, there is 300 tons of
ore which will average 80 ounces
in silver $40 in gold and % per
cent in copper to the ton. At
dump No. l, there is $50 tons of
about the same value. In the
upraise above tunnel No. / there
is 75 tons of ore exposed which
viii average.S1OO per ton. There
is now ready to be stopped be-
tween tunnels Nos. / and a
body of ore, of at least ten
thousand tons. An average sam
pie of this ore shows values of at
least S113.SO in gold and silver
without assaying for copper.
With the new smelter within 2
miles of the property, the Black
Hawk ore can be treated, giving
big returns for the ore now in
sight and a smelter can be built
on the property at future date.
Future development will expose
large bodies of ore, so that the
value of this property is hard to
1t is safe to say, how
ever, that this property will turn
out great producer.

PAT GROVE CAPTURED

Butte, Montana, Oct. 4. Pat
Grove, wanted by the Omaha
police for the kidnapping of the
son of the millionaire packer,
Cudahy, in 1899. was arrested in
this city. Groves Identification
has been made complete through
photographs sent to the auth
critics by the Omaha officers.
Grove acknowledged that he was
the fugitive, becoming alarmed
when he feared the officers were
going to shoot him. Captain of
the Police McGrath and Detec-
tive MacInerney made the ar
rest, placing the muzzle of their
revolvers against his stomach as
he entered from a saloon in the
tenderloin section in this city.
Grove declared he would re-
turn to Omaha without requisi-
ton papers. He cursed bitterly
at his arrest, expressing chagrin
at his apprehension in a town
the size of Butte, when he, as
he said, had Travelled the world
over and evaded capture in all
of the larger cities. Grove has
two brothers in Montana, one
living in Butte and the other at
Great Falls.
A friend of Grove tipped the
local police of Groves presence
in the city, and his arrest follow
ed after photographs of the fug-
tive had been secured from
Omaha.
Grove has been taken back tor
Omaha to stand trial.

SURVEYORS ARE BUSY.

Engineers, supposedly repre-
senting the Butte, Boise & San
Francisco railroad, are still
working in the Salmon river
country, according to Emerson
Hill, a merchant at Red Rock,
Montana, who was interviewed
Wednesday by the Anaconda
Standard.
Red Rock is the shipping point
for the Salmon City, Idaho, sec
ton, and all of the traffic and
freight for that district is haul,
ed by wagon and stage coach to
the. metropolis of inland Idaho.
At the present time, so Mr.. Hill
states, two surveying parties are
working in the Salmon river
section and have been running
lines throughout the entire sum
mer. Both parties are supposed
to represent the Butte, Boise &
SanFrancisco railroad company,
an organization which is incor-
porated in Idaho and which con-
templates a line of rails from a
point on the Short Line near
Divide, through the Big Hole
Basin and into the Salmon river
section by the way of Gibbons
vile. One of the parties is
working near Gibbonsville at
present, the other on the main
fork of the Salmon river. Gen
orally, people of that section who
have been disappointed on more
than one occasion regarding the
promise of a railroad for the
Salmon river, are most sanguine
as to the results which will fol-
low the present efforts of the
railroad engineers, and they feel
confident that the rich mineral
section which exists all along
the Salmon river will yet attract
a railroad and that the Butte,
Boise & SanFrancisco will be the
line that will tap the district.
According to reports which
the engineers have allowed to
leak out, a practicable route has
been located through the basin
and over the Gibbonsville hill
one of the nastiest pieces of
wagon road in the west, seri-
es of tunnels being required.
However, the grade is good
one and is practicable, although
a part of the route leads through
a snowy country.

Robert N Bell, State Mining
Inspector, arrived in Challis last
Wednesday evening from Loon
creek and Custer, where he had
been on a tour of inspecting
mines. He came in via. Wood
River, and visited the Page lead
mine in Stanley Basin. In speak
ing of the Lost Packer, at Loon
creek, Mr.. Bell says that it is
one of the best mines in Idaho,
and he thinks one months run
with the smelter with the rich
ore already out, will put the
company even WITH the expenses
they have been at in the way of
development and installing new
machinery.
George McGowan's pack train

There is some snow at the mines
but not enough to stop traffic.
That district is a good game re-
gion, and the boys see bands of
deer on every trip. At the min
es there is considerable develop
ment work being done, and a
small force of men will be kept
at work all winter. The mines
are looking good, and already a
small shipment of high grade
ore has been made from the Par
ker to Salt Lake. The company
