Mining News

Geo. Coryell and Clarence Eddy came
down from Custer county Saturday on
their way to Salt Lake. We asked Mr.,
| Eddy for some news about mines up
there and he said "Well. everybody about
Custer is rushing around to stake
claims on Bachelor Mountain or as close
as they can get to the property Of the
Golden Sunbeam. ! suppose that you
know they have practically mountain
Of gold ore. 1t is developing richer all
the time and Manager Gable has gone
to Pittsburg to ask the stockholders to
put in a big plant for treating it. They
have small mill now and cannot
handle it on suffiently large scale. OF
course the bulk OF their ore is low grade.
although selected pieces the size Of a
hen egg, pan dollar. It is easy ore to
treat, and promises to be the 'Treadwell
Of Idaho"
"The excitement is confined to that
locality, but it is intense and you will
see the effect Of it later on. / look for
big stampede into Custer county
next spring and there will be town on
Jordan Creek that will fill the canyon.
There will be something on Mt. Estes,
too, and other places. There is pretty
sure to be another big producer on L. on
Creek the South Packer--not the
South Packer located, but another
group altogether"
The Republican" writer said, "We
told our readers last spring when you
went our, that you had way Of finding
something rich in August. What have
you done for yourself this summer9"
He laughed and took some gray rock
from his pocket, on which were streaks
Of gold that looked as il it had been
roasted to bring it to the surface. It
was very rich and he said it came from
an ore body that is developed enough
to give assurance Of great wealth. Mr..
Eddy said he would soon be back from
Salt Lake.

think he netted $1,000 year out of the
