Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1905-03-25

The production of placer gold
from this region since it's discov-
cry in 1860 and to date, is con-
servatively estimated at $250,OOO,-
900. Concerning the present
condition of the placer mining
industry in the state, State Min
ing Inspector Bell in his recent
report says:
"The rich and easily accessible
placer values of the state are
pretty well exhausted. The plac-
er mining business is now prac-
tically simmered down to large
operations of hydraulicing and
dredging, which involves the use
of modern machinery. The placer
gold production is still quite i'm
portant, however, and formed
fully 45 per cent of the gold out
put of the state for 1903, and that
it was not still larger is due to a
short water season..

Cut the Ledge.

E. E. Espey, one of the owners
of the South Fork group, was a
visitor to town the fore part Of
the week. He reports the ledge
cut by the lower tunnel which
they have been running to give
greater depth. The ore on the
new level is fully equal in value
in free gold to that closer to the
surface, besides carrying much
more sulphides. 1t is their inten-
tion to start up the mill in a few
days.

"At a later date the same pa
per chronicled the following:
The late news from Salmon river
seems to have given the gold
fever to everyone in that imme-
diate neighborhood, A number
of persons from Florence City
have arrived in this place during
the week and all bring the most
eXtravigant reports as to the
richness Of the mines. A report
made in relation to a rich strike
made by Mr.. Bridges Of Oregon
City, seems to be well authenti-
Gated. The first day he worked
on his claim near Balloon gulch
he took out 81 ounces, the second
day 157 ounces, third day 214
ounces and the fourth day 200
ounces in, two hours.
In a later edition of the same
paper the following item appears:
'The discoverer of the Baboon
gulch arrived in the city yester-
day, bringing with him 60 pounds
of gold dust, and Jacob Weiser is
4 on his way in with a mule loaded
with gold dust

THE BUSTER IMPROVES.
The Ledge is Now Twelve Feet Wide and
Continues to Grow---Will Incorporate
Vendetta Group---Cut the Lead.

The Buster mine continues to
occupy the center of the stage
in this district. Every foot driven
shows a material gain in the con-
stantly growing width of the
ledge. At the present writing,
Wednesday the 22d, it is twelve
feet wide, a gain Of six feet in a
distance run Of about forty feet.
Six feet of this is clean ore of ex-
ceptionally high grade, and the
balance is said to run about $40
per ton. The important feature
(aside from the ore shoot devel-
oped thus far is the occurrence of
ignuous rock running with the
ledge on this level, there being
no evidence of it IN the upper
tunnel or on the surface so far as
known. To the Informed this
occurrence removes all doubt as
to the true character of the fs-
sure, and will increase confidence
in the future claimed for the
property by its friends. 1t is
unquestionably a good mine as it
stands. All that is necessary to
make it a great one is to prove
the ore body as extensive as to
strike on the present level as it is
on the Surface-750 feet.

Florence In the Year 1862.

The following interesting ac-
count Of the early days is taken
from a recent report of the Idaho
commissioner of immigration.
Florence was discovered in the
fall of 1862. The wild life char
acteristic Of a new mining camp,
with all the excitement attending
the discovery and digging of
gold, found full sway here. Gam
bling was freely indulged in,
gold dust being the commodity
that passed as legal tender for all
transactions in trade. Prices for
provisions were abnormally high.
Flour cost $1.00 per pound; bacon,
SIPS; butter, $500; sugar, 1.50;
gum boots, $4,000 per pair, and
other articles in proportion.
''Mr. Frank r. Coffin, now liv-
ing in Boise, was the owner of a
claim in Florence at that time,
concerning which he says that
when it failed to pay $500 per
day to the man it was abandoned
as not worth working. The story
of the richness Of many of the
diggings found in that section OF
Idaho and along the tributaries
Of Salmon river, reads like tale
from the Arabian Nights.
"The Walla Walla Statesman
describing the discovery of the
Salmon river mines early in 1862
gives the following account: S
F. Ledyard arrived last nigh
from the Salmon river mines, anC
from him it is learned that 20C
men had gone to the south sid
of the Salmon where two stream
head that empty into the Salmon
some thirty miles southwest o
the present diggings. Coars
gold is found and as high as $40
per day to the man is being take
\out. The big mining claim of tn
old locality belongs to Mr.. Weise
of Oregon, from which $2.68
was taken out on the 10th wit
rockers. On the 21st 1880 wa
taken out with the same ns
chimes. Other claims are payin
two to five pounds per day.

Latent Wealth OF Idaho.

AdtOht w Collin OA tIdlAC.
Hon. Francis Jenkins of Mos
COW is a visitor in this city, says
the Lewiston Tribune of the 18th.
Mr.. Jenkins was the republican
leader in the lower house of the
state legislature two years ago
and is well known throughout the
state. He takes a keen interest
in all matters affecting the devel-
opment and progress of Idaho,
and in conversation with Trib-
une reporter last evening said.
Il am delighted to note. that
the developments of the past few
days indicate that there is to be
some railroad building in this Sec
tion of the state. Conditions JUS
tify such work, and with ade-
quate transportation facilities the
development operations that will
follow will reach surprising mag
nitude. 1t will be impossible, or
extremely unnatural for the bus
mess of this country to be hand
led over the heavy grades to the
north when the immense timber
belt of the Clearwater region and
the low. grade ores of central
Idaho are turned into the chan
mel of active commerce. The
mining country of the interior
wants better transportation ia
cilities. The ore classed as low
running from $5 to $40
is there in quantity, and with
convenient transportation facil-
tiles it can be handled with great
profit. The ores Of the great
Occur d'Alene country in the
face carry no greater values pei
ton than that which is classed as
4 low grade in the central Idahe
country. Better transportation
will start this part Of the state
forward with a tremendous rush.
Mr.. Jenkins predicts a grea-
future for Idaho and he favores
broad policies for enabling the
l latent wealth to be developed
} He believes, the resources of tn,
; state should be in the hands o.
the citizen, enabling industries t,
: be developed and pursuits to b,
l opened to the generation of to
t day. Mr.. Jenkins is a success
full business man who has mad

e and the rapid strides the state i
e now making to its greater desti
e ny is a keen satisfaction to him

VeyeQ TO determine the POSSIBLE
ity,. of barge navigation. AL
together these rivers never Jared
so we'll before in the hands of any
congress. This is a very import
ant matter to the people of Idaho,
as a better improvement of these
rivers will mean a saving of mil
lions of dollars in freight rates
annually.
Mr.. French secured the passage
of a bill turning into the reclama-
ton fund moneys received from
the sale of material used on tenn
porary work in connection with
irrigation projects. This money
was formerly turned into the
treasury of the United States and
consequently lost to irrigation.
This bill will put several thousand
dollars annually into the reclama-
tion fund.
A bill to appropriate money for
a public building at Moscow was
approved by the committee on
public buildings and grounds, and
was by Mr.. French placed in the
omnibus bill. This bill failed to
pass, but the sentiment in the
house is very strong in its favor,
and it is very likely that it will
pass at the next session. The
matter is in good condition and
Moscow will get public building
as soon as any other city in the
country.
In the house committee on pub
lie lands, bills for the repeal of
the communion clause of the
homestead law and the timber
and stone act were indefinitely
postponed. This was accomplish
: ed chiefly by Mondell of Wyoming
and French of Idaho.
Congressman French Shonesty
and integrity was put to a test
last week on the vote for the
constructive mileage grab. His
mileage would amount to 81, 100,
, and a vote was being taken to
: give the members this extra mile
age which they were clearly not
4 entitled to, but which they could
appropriate to themselves if they
! so desired. A majority of the far
= west members voted yes, but
French voted no, and thus threw
aside 81, 100.
Idaho may we'll be proud of the
!. record made by her representa-
. tive in the congress just closed.
G Although the youngest member
in the house and, from a state
small in population, he has taken
. a high place in the estimation of
his colleagues, and is recognized
. by old war horses like cannon,
Grosvenor, Payne, and Dalzell as
, a decidedly coming man, and one
who must be reckoned with in
the next congress. While Mr..
, French has not flooded the house
g with oratory, he has worked hard
= before committees, where the
real work is done, and during the
:, few times he has addressed the
house, he has been given respect
full attention. 1t is needless to
% say that Mr.. French will come
- back to Washington next fall pre-
o pared to do better work for his
state, and incidently add laurels
Il to his already enviable reputation.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Synopsis of the Work Done by Idaho's
Representatives at the National
Capitol.

From Northwest Press Association.
On all matters pertaining to
the welfare Of Idaho, Senator
Hepburn and Representative
French have worked in absolute
harmony, and on account Of this
cooperation Idaho has fared fully
as well as any of her sister states.
During the session just closed
there has been a large amount of
department work accomplished
for different interests in Idaho.
A number of pension bill have
been passed, and several rural
free delivery routes have been
established, while a number of
applications are now pending be-
fore the department.
The record made by Senator
Hepburn during the last congress
has probably not been excelled
by any new senator in recent
years. His long experience in
the practice of law, his wide ac-
quaintence with public men, and
his knowledge Of public questions,
together with his superior attain
ments as a debator has placed him
in the front rank of the new SEN
ators. Soon after he entered up
on. his duties he took a defnate
position on the forest reserve
question and succeeded in having
enacted important legislation on
the subject of lieu land script,
which will prevent the laying of
forest reserve script on timber
lands and which will save some
two and a half million acres of
timber land for actual settlers.
He took a very active interest in
the modification of the boundaries
of certain forest reserves in Idaho
and after careful investigation
by the department, large bodies
of agricultural land were restored
to the public domain in Idaho, ag-
gregating in all over six million
acres.
Early in the congress Senator
Hepburn introduced and secured
the passage in the senate of bill
appropriating S25,OOO for the es-
tablishment of a. fish hatchery ir
Idaho, but the bill was not reach
ed for consideration in the house
in fact none of the bills for the
establishment of fish hatcheries
passed the house, but Congress
man French succeeded in secur
ing a favorable report from the
committee on fish and fisheries
and the enactment of a law for ;
fish hatchery in Idaho seems as
sured early in the next congress
Hepburn and French endeavor
ed to secure legislation authoriz
ing leave of absence to home
steaders on irrigation projects
E until water is turned in, bu
favorable action was not taken
, the department having made al
adverse report on the bill,
They also secured the enact
ment of a bill authorizing tn,
construction of bridges across tn,
: Coeur d'Alene and Pend d'Oreill,
rivers in North Idaho.
On the river and harbor bill
! Mr.. French was very successful
He secured an appropriation 0.
= $751; 900 to supplement $4,000 al
ready on hand for the improve
E ment of Snake river between
Lewiston and Riparia. Thi
amount was increased by $1,000
