WILSON CREEK MINES.

Bruce Draper has returned
from the Wilson creek district
on the Middle Fork of the Sal
mon and reports that the outlook
for that section is very bright.
That district has been remark
able because of the fact that con-
siderable quantities of very rich
ore have been found in some of
the claims. Mr.. Draper states
there have been several such
discoveries recently.
One of these rich discoveries
is in a property in Boulder gulch
on the west side of Salmon, own
ed by j. @. Murray. He has loo
ated an extension of Walker &
Wyatt's Brown Beauty ledge and
has developed some wonderfully
rich ore. The vein where open
ed shows from 10 inches to feet
of this ore. Mr.. Murray is TAX
ing out considerable money in a
hand mortar. From a lot of rock
and earth filing a 20-pound lard
pail he recovered So. The dirt
beside the ledge carries 25 cents
to the pan, and there good plac-
er ground in the gulch below.
Mr.. Draper states he selected
what seemed to him to be as
poor a piece of rock as could be
found and got an assay of 5000
from it.
In the Lost Boulder group,
also on the west side, the Will
liams brothers have opened 8
feet of ore that shows gold all
through. They started on a 5.
inch streak and in 10 feet it
widened out to 3 feet.
In the Cumberland, on the east
side of the river, the Williams
brothers have driven % feet on
the ledge and have 5 feet of ore
showing, This looks well but
Mr.. Draper has no knowledge of
what it's assay value is.
A remarkable strike has been
made in Boulder gulch by wo-
man. The ledge is 4 feet wide.
Two feet of this is ore, and there
is streak of it 5 inches wide
that is worth 81 pound.
Walker & Wyatt are preparing
to take out a large quantity of
ore from their property with
which to run their arastra in the
spring. A track is being laid in
their tunnel.
On the east side of the river
Cameron, Bruce and Nolan are
running tunnel to cross cut
their ledge on the Reliance. It
has been driven SO feet and
shows some ore. They are driv-
ing to tap a ledge showing on
top that is 20 feet wide and runs
from S. to 81.
Joe Porterfeld and Sim And
erson are running a tunnel on
their property and are getting
some good ore.
John johnson is getting out
ore to supply his arastra. He
has a large are body developed
which runs from $40 to SIP.
Mr.. Draper states the forma-
ton there is porphyry, quartz
lite and lime, with much schist.
The large lodges are generally
in the lime. They are true ifs
sures, cutting the formation, so
far as present developments
show, and are from 5 to 40 feet
in width. In most instances the
lodges are capped with porphyry
and lime spar. There are many
great bikes running through the
country. These are general
cut by the lodges. What the eff
feet of these dikes upon the vein
is has not been determined. =

ant Conference In Toxic,

Portsmouth, Aug. 2S.--The Associat.
cd Press has definite knowledge that
several days ago President Roosevelt
was authorized on behalf Of japan
to waive all claims for indemnity or
reimbursement for the cost of the
north half Of Sakhalin, leaving the
war, and to cede back TO Russia the
question Of redemption Of the price OF
the sale to the arbitration OF a mixed
commission. This statement was
transmitted 10 the Russian emperor
by the American ambassador at st.
Petersburg. An Associated Press tel
egram announced the cars reply was
practically responsive" There is
reason 10 believe this proposition on
behalf Of Japan was not clearly un-
derstood at Peterhof, but was suppos-
ed TO be a revival OF the effort OF
Japan 10 secure indemnity under the
guise Of the purchase Of fraction OF
Sakahlin. 1t Is believed the confer
ence held last evening between
Messrs. Witte and Takahira. was A1r
the purpose Of clearing up the situa-
tion and II is now not impossible that
following the precedent OF Its ally
Great Britain, Japan will agree to
settle the whole question Of the re-
demptiOn price of Sakhalin as the
Dogger bank troubles were adjusted.
It Is believed the Toxic council which
is In session today, is considering this.
II is not true that the adjournment
which was agreed to last night until
Tuesday afternoon. was made a& tha
suggestion OF President Roosevelt.
There Is reason for believing he knows
nothing Of II but the adjustment was
by mutual agreement between Rus
SLAMS and Takahira.

was entered by skeleton keys and
three watches. two chains and con-
