SHELTER FOR PACKER

Word from the Lost Packer
states that the activity at that
property is undiminished. Of
course, no ore can be gotten
over the trails at Custer until
the roads are clear of snow in
the spring, but development
work is going on steadily and
large amount of ore, which will
be shipped next season, is being
blocked out.
That there will be a smelter
erected at the property next
season there is no longer any
reason of doubt, as j. A. Czizek,
the manager of the company, has
already committed himself in the
matter. Indeed the property
has such a showing of ore and
the shipments charges are so
high that smelter is impera-
tive, Mr.. Czizek confirms the
news of the smelter in an inter
view in the Boise Statesman,
which reads as follows
j. A. Czizek is in the city,
having just returned from an
Eastern trip. He is enthusias-
tic over the prospects of the Lost
Packer property, and states it is
the intention of the company to
put in smelling plant in the
spring. The mine is looking
well, according to Mr.. Chicks
reports from there, and the price
of the stock on the Salt Lake
market continues to advance.
1.-THE business that took Mr..
Czizek East was the financing of
the Montana property. He was
entirely successful in that, rails
ing $500 on bonds for devel-
opment purposes. The property
is large one, already well de-
veloped, but it will be further
opened up on a broad scale. Ar
rangements are being made to
consolidate that property and
the Sunbeam, near by. The lat
ter is a regular producer of gold
and is regarded as very valu-
able"

A NEW RULING.

The method of proving up on
homesteads has been changed by
rules recently adopted by the de-
partment at Washington. A
special government agent will
visit all the principal towns of a
land district each month on
specified date for the purpose of
taking homestead proofs. The
land office will advertise for proof
in the local paper nearest the
land, and those having proofs to
make will meet the agent on the
date fixed. The new rule is de-
signed to prevent fraudulent
proof of residence on claim.
Under the old rule proof could
be made to the United States
court commissioner, and the
special agent visited a locality
only when fraud was suspected.

THREE FORKS ROAD.

Mr.. Kirkpatrick, of Lemhi
county, has introduced a bill in
the Idaho legislature for the con-
struction of wagon road from
Three Forks in Lemhi county,
near Singiser, to Thunder Noun
tain. This is a very worthy bill
and is without doubt the most
direct and easiest route from the
railroad winter and summer
to Thunder Mountain.
The road championed by Mr..
Kirkpatrick is about so miles in
length, and the appropriation
for its construction is SIS, 900.
The road is to traverse the coun-
ties of Lemhi, Custer and Idaho.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick says in behalf
of his measure that an appropri-
alton was made at the last legis-
lature for a road to Thunder
Mountain from the south, and
his road provides a means of
egress to the east, and would in
addition permit travel directly
across the state from the south
west to the northeast, via. Roos-
evelt, by means of the two state
roads. This road is to follow
water grade throughout its en-
tire length.
