J. A. Coverly returned to camp
Wednesday from Spokane where
he has been in conference with
the directors of the Elk City G.
M. & M. company, looking to the
installation of a 50-ton reduction
plant on their property, the Lilly
May.
The crushing machinery will
consist of rolls and rock crusher.
The gold will be recovered by the
cyanide treatment. The entire
plant will weigh about eighty or
ninety thousand pounds.
Speaking Of the outlook Of the
camp generally, from the view
point of outside parties, Mr.. Gov
erly said: "There will be all
kinds of people visit Elk City this
coming season. People looking
for business locations, sight seers,
etc.; in short, if all the people
who say they are coming to Elk
City this season carry out their
expressed intentions you can look
for one of those old fashioned
wild and wooly stampedes.

The property is situated about
one-fourth mile north of town,

that none of them will be passed.
Joint caucases of the house and
senate have discussed the road
matter, and there was q practical
decision reached that road ap-
preparations for specific measures
of improvements should all be
sidetracked, and that the admin
istration project of the Idaho In

mission be substituted. A bill
creating such a commission is now
under consideration, carrying
with it an appropriation of $4,000
This bill, it is believed, will pass.
The bill providing for the road
up the south fork of the Clear
water, and which would open up
the Buffalo Hump and other rich
mining districts on that and other
streams, is among the measures
being held up in committee.
Among the members from both
Nez Perce and Idaho counties
there is a feeling that this road
stands a better show than any
other that will be presented to
the commission. The fact that
the petitioners for the improve
ment offer to give half the eX-
pense for the proposed road, it is
believed, will have a material
bearing in inducing the commits

posed improvement,

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
The Famous Buster Mine to Resume
Extensive Operations.

S. w. Smith returned to camp
this week from a business trip to
San Francisco, during which he
succeeded in awakening a strong
interest in his operations in the
Buster, both psat and to come,
among the heaviest operators on
the continent.
The Buster has a reputation,
and justly, throughout the west
of being among the best quartz
showings to be found anywhere,
but owing to various conditions
which ever beset a new country,
chief of which in this instance
was lack of adequate transpor-
tation, Mr.. Smith was unable to
properly develop it until the past
season. While the transportation
problem retains all of its old time
vigor and vexations, other con-
ditions have improved to such an
extent that he was enabled to

Following is an interesting de-
scription of the Moose Creek
placers by Mine Inspector Rob't
N. Bell, in his annual report on
mines of Idaho:
"At Newsome Creek, on the
road from Elk City to Sites,
there are also some extensive
hydraulic placer mines. The
Moose Creek placers are a type
of several others in the same vi
cinity. The geological phases of
these deposits are Of peculiar in
terest and worthy Of a detailed
description.
This property is situated in
the Newsome mining district,
Idaho county. 1t consists Of 300
acres adjacent to the south fork
Of the Clearwater river, covered
with auriferous gravel of varying
depths. Part of the gravel is the
shallow, local wash from the ero-
sion of the adjacent hills; the
more important deposits, how
ever, are the remaining portions
Of what were presumably sub
glacial and super-glacial river
channels. The remnants Of those
channels now existing thraugh
this and the adjoining Elk City
district, seem to be largely con-
fined to the ''pot-hole" areas, for
so far as known to the writer, all
of the deposits that have been
worked in these old channel gray
els, have shown great depressions
within the deposit, much lower
than the lowest portion Of the
surrounding rims. These rims
have had to be cut by tunnel OF
open cut in order to bottom the
deposits, and there has seemed
to be no defined fuvial grade be-
tween one deposit and another
On the Moose Creek property
there is a difference Of over 10(
feet in the level Of the bottom O.
two Of these pot-holes, less thar
1000 feet apart. The old chan
mel deposit now being operated
at Moose Creek is 1, 100 feet long
with a known width of 610 fee
and known depth of POI feet

DIXIE, Ida, Feb. 20, 1905.

Prospects were never brighter
for Dixie in a mining way than
at present. The flare-up of a
few years ago, when any old
thing was stocked and sold to the
public as sure-thing winner,
gave the camp a black eye from
which it is only beginning to re-
cover. That there is material
here for the making of many
good mines is conceded by all
who have taken the trouble to
investigate. Within the past
year a number of capitalists rep
resentatives have looked over the
field, and in nearly every instance
of faithful investigation the re-
ports have been favorable.
Work done by Mr.. Tytler on the
L. & L., under bond from Louis
Larson, showed that the vein,
though small, was continuous and
very rich. About 300 feet Of de-
velopment was done. Mr.. Larson
has been working this property,
alone, for a number of years
taking out the ore in the winter
and running it through an arastra
in the summer. The ore worked
had an average assay value of
$40 per ton, of which about so
percent was free. Mr.. Titler has
also done considerable work on
the Comstock, on which he secur-
ed bond and lease. The ore
was run through a 4-stamp mill
and the tailings treated by cyan
ide, The results are said to have
been highly satisfactory.
If the people who are backing
Mr.. Tytler do not take up the
Comstock bond, it is understood
another outfit will very likely
close a deal for the property.
Recently a Mr.. Meyers, repre-
senting Seattle parties, investi-
gated the merits Of this property
and expressed himself as highly
pleased with it. He said that he
would recommend to his people
that they (if a bond was secured)
expend $4,000 in development
With this amount judiciously useC
MIR. Meyers says the Comstocl
should enter the list Of producers
After returning to Seattle Mr.
Meyers wrote to Rory Burke ask
ing him to sample the Western
Slope, owned by Lady" Heller
Smith; also the Red Cross group
owned by Messrs Perry, Brown
& Smith. Mr.. Burke was alst
instructed to secure a bond OF
these properties. Returns from
the samples sent Mr.. Meyer
were recently received, and while
the parties are very reticent re
garding the matter, it is under

Frank Hye, accompanied by DR..

Tom Prichard has finished the
assessment work on the Hodoo.
He says he has opened up twenty
inches Of pay ore of a very high

the tunnel on the Jawbone, and
has encountered a big ore deposit.

that pans nicely. ]. A. Whitaker
Of Elk City is interested with Mr..
Powelson in the claim.

E. S. Davis is the owner Of the
Majestic group, on Blowout
mountain. This group was SAM
pied last fall by eastern parties.
1t is said that the assays were
better than anticipated. A dyke
200 feet wide crosses the prop
erty. In addition a 5O-foot quartz
ledge parallels the dyke. Sam
pies taken by Mr.. Davis would
seem to indicate that the average
values exceed 81 per ton.
