Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1906-06-23

Rod D. Leggett, one Of the infiuen-
tial men of Butte, Montana, one of the
first miners in the Butte district, likes
the tenor of the editorial and article
on the building of the old Nez Perce
trail into wagon road, which appeared
in the Mining News week before last,
and he says the thought and sentiment
expressed is along the same line as that
often heard in Butte, Anaconda and
Hamilton.
Mr.. Leggett is managar for the COM
pany that is working the Buffalo Hill
placer, mile west of Elk City. He is
thoroughly familiar with the require
ments for mining and smelling in the
Butte district, and is, naturally, anxious
for any improvement in transportation
facilities that would help the Elk City
miner to receive the highest value fol

WANTS IDAHO GOLD.
Boise Assay Office Would Give Full
g Credit to State of Idaho.

Joseph Pinkham, assayer in
charge of the United States assay
office in Boise, was in the city this
week on business connected with
his office. He wants all the gold
of Idaho sent to the Boise office,
where the state office can get full
credit for it. A considerable sum
does go there, the past year having
seen about So, 100000 in the yellow
metal in the Boise office. Most
of this comes from this state,
though some little comes from
Oregon. On the other hand, some
Idaho gold goes to other states,
especially to Seattle and Helena.
AS illustrating the accuracy
with which they handle the prec-
ious metals, Mr.. Pinkham said
that they recently shipped $49,-
900 in gold to the U. S. mint in
Philadelphia. The mint returns
showed only four cents different
from their assay value for the
whole sum. One Of the assayers,
Robert Mobley. has been in the
Boise office for 35 wears and has
a reputation for accuracy that is
almost national. A small charge
is made for assaying shipments
of gold sent to the Office, and OF
the assay returns, two check as
says on each shipment, the sender
is paid the face value of tn,
metal. They handle nothing bu
gold and silver, and the silve
only as a by-product of the gold
-Grangeville Standard.

his ore. Mr.. Leggett says that the
ores of this district would be most de-
sirable for smelters in Montana and
they no doubt would pay full mineral
assay of the ore for the benefit of the
fluxes contained in it.
Mr.. Leggett also believes that the
opening up of route of immigration
through the Bitter Root mountains
would prove forerunner to railway.
This subject is frequently discussed at
meetings of the different commercial
bodies in the Montana cities, but as yet
enough influence has not been brought
to bear upon the proper authorities to
do good. With the same thought and
sentiment given sway in cities on this
side of the divide there would be hope
for results to be accomplished that
would rebound to the good of both.

with metallic sulphides, as in
galena, iron and copper pyrites,
but this is an occurrence that sell
dom falls to the lot of the placer
miner.
The purest gold Of the western
placer fields is that found in the
so-called "dry diggings," high
up on mountain tops and ridges,
above and out of reach of all sur
rounding wash channels and
streams. These peculiar loca-
tions have led to the belief on the
part of the miners, that placer
gold does not necessarily origi-
nate from veins or lodges, since
the placer gold Of these dry dig
gings" is out Of the way of all
surrounding mountains and there
fore could not have been washed
down from them. AS matter
of fact, these "dry diggings are
out of reach Of all present sur
rounding ranges and lodges, but
their origin and formation dates
much farther back than that of
the present geological era. Great
changes have been wrought on
the earth's surface since the
placer channels of the dry dig
gings" were formed and filled
with their precious content. Ano
it is this extreme age that gives
the placer gold, the nuggets anC
finer dust, its value, as it has
long time to be reworked and re.
fined in natures great retort.
So when the placer miner sells
two nuggets, both of equal siz'
and weight, from the same dig
gings, and receives $3.50 al
ounce for one and $40 for tn
, other, he may rest assured tha
the mint OF the refinery is no
cheating him.

1t is a we'll known fact that the plans
and purposes of great railway COM
pany are past finding out by the aver
age Individual who is not on the pay
roll of the corporation, but some of the
reporters on the daily papers in Spo-
kane have been busy recently and have
decided that the Chicago-Northwestern
company has plans under way to extend
it's Wyoming and Dakota lines west,
touching the Pacific coast in the Puget
Sound region. There is so much evil
dence to support the contention of the
Spokane papers that their conclusions
can at least be considered good guess.
The o-Northwestern company
last week placed with Spokane saw
mill company an order for construction
material, to be delivered this summer.
The order is an unusually large one, and
the material, the greater part, is large
and heavy, of the sort used only in con-
struction of mountain railways. The
present lines of the Chicago-Northwest-
ern touch only the Black Hills, the foot
hills of the Rocky mountains and spar
the deep gorges of Wisconsin, and the
rebuilding of all of these lines woul(
require no such amount of material a!
was ordered in Spokane last week.
There has been party of surveyors
at work along the Salmon river, and s.

to their own business, without saying
word to anybody, that they have at
tracted the attention of people who
want to know what is going on in their
midst. 1t has been discovered that
these surveyors are in the employ of
the go-Northwestern railway COM
pany. They have now finished their
work on the Salmon rives and are fol-
lowing the Snake river in the direction
of Lewiston.
The decision of the Chicago-North-
western company to extend it's lines to
the coast confirms the predictions made
in railway circles some time ago, that
that company would keep pace with the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul in ex-
tending it's system, The trade relations
of the two systems are too much the
same for one company to allow the
other much advantage. The two roads
divide South Dakota to themselves ane
the disposition of'rivaly shown last sum
mer when the question of locating the
state capital was before the people o.
South Dakota was an illustration of the
contest on between the two roads. Ths
building of the Milwaukee to the coas
points where Americas trade with th'
Orient is greatest was giving that com
pany more prestige than its rival coul'
afford, SO the Northwestern is coming
this way too.

Lewiston Tribune:. 1t has been
learned that C. Lindquist, super
intendent of the car shops of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
road at Minneapolis, spent last
Sunday in Lewiston inspecting
conditions here. He arrived on
the morning train and departed
on the Owl at eleven o'clock at
night. He devoted a large part
of his time to a walk on Normal
hill, and seemed to have consider
able information relative to local
conditions. From this point, Mr..
Lindquist went to Wallula and
thence to Tacoma. He came to
! Lewiston from Spokane and he
reached that point from western
Montana, where he spent consid-
cradle time. While Mr.. Lind
quist has travelled through the
country with his mission unan-
nounced it is understood he was
sent out of Minneapolis to visit
!, certain points along the line of
the roads western extension to
make preliminary investigation
relative to work that will later
! receive the attention of his de-
: partment of the road. Mr.. Lind
quist has been with the Milwau-
kee road for twenty-five years.
Mr.. Lindquist was accredited
with making a statement while
II here that the main line of the
Milwaukee road would, beyond
n all question, come through the
v Lewiston valley, and that three
: routes were being investigated
h for the main line in entering the

being the Locksaw branch Of the

GOLD VALUES VARY
Placer Miners Should Not Expect
Equal Money for Equal Weight.
A WRITER EXPLAINS 1T
Gives Reasons Why Miners are Often
Dissatisfied With Returns.

Dennis H. Stovall in Mining
World: Placer miners are fire.
quently puzzled, and not infre-
quently angered, because of the
varying values of their gold ship
ments, as given by refineries or
the mint. At one time the miner
will receive 1920 an ounce for a
shipment; a few months later he
will receive but $19 or $3.50 for
a second shipment. He is ang-
cred because, on first thought, it
seems clearly a case of "short
allowance" as both shipments
were of gold from the same dig
gings, and removed the same
season. He is confident there is
a "leak" somewhere, and if he
has been shipping to smelter,
he will change to the mint, or if
to the mint he will change to the
smelter, only to ascertain, at a
later date, that the fault does not
lie with the buyers, but with the
gold itself. For there is a differ
ence in the quality of placer gold,
and the difference exists in the
same district, or along a single
gulch or stream.
The writer had occasion to
make an investigation in this
matter, because of complaint to
! the Mining World entered by a
} placer miner that the mint was
, giving him "short allowance" on
shipments, Through this in
, vestigation, it was learned that
the varying values of placer gold,
of nuggets, and even Of finer
: dust, is due to the coarseness OF
fineness Of the metal; in Other
words, it Is the texture of the
metal that decides it's worth. Il
was found that in the same
stream, the nuggets uncovered
, near the mouth of the creek are
of better quality than those foun(
at the source. The reason fol
this is not far to seek. Tht
former have travelled farther, ant
have been longer separated from
the parent vein. They are there

" pact, and of finer grain. Also
: they are of better quality, AM

1t should be kept in mind that in OPP
posing the reduction of duties on sugar
and tobacco to be shipped from the
Philippines, the republicans of Michi-
gan very well recognize just whom such
reduction would most favor. These
Philippine products are purchased by
and prepared for the American market
by the tobacco and sugar combinations,
or trusts, and the reduced duty would
mean to them increased profits.
Millions of dollars have been lost to the
United States treasury through the re-
duction on Cuban products. but not a
cent has been gained by the American
consumers. And this Cuban experience
will be repeated in case the trusts shall
again be favored with lowered duties
on their raw material from the Philip
pines.
