Died at Salmon

The Salmon Herald of Nov.
22nd, say s The pangs of pro-
found sorrow are felt in one of
the homes of this city. Death
came Sunday morning at $40
o'clock, and claimed a wife and
mother, whose place, left vacant
has cast pail over a once happy
hearthstone. Mrs. Al. Jineger
has departed this life. The i'm
mediate cause of her death was
pneumonia, with which she was
taken down two weeks before.
She leaves a husband and three
children to mourn her untimely
death. The latter are Rita,
aged 10, Vera, aged and Valda,
aged years.
Mrs. Jineger was born in Fort
Kearney, Neb., June 14th, 1865.
! Her maiden name was Mary II.
Jensen, and she was married to
Mr.. Jineger in Challis D years
ago. Her aged mother still lives
in Custer county. The deceased
was charter member of the Re
bekah lodge in Challis. In Sal
mon she was a member in high
standing of the Royal Neighbors
lodge, and under the honors of
this order she was buried.
Mrs. Jineger was well-known
in Challis and loved by all who
knew her, and the relatives have
the heartfelt sympathy of this
community in their sorrow.

which yielded recovered values
Of 1922 per ton, $3.50 of which
was gold and S32 silver. They
have a carload of the same ore
out now and about ready for
shipment. The present manage
ment has been working the
property but a few months. For
some time previous to that it
was held by Allen 81 Goss of
Salt Lake, under bond and lease,
and they took out from shallow
trenches and shipped about
$4,000 worth Of ore. The bond
and lease covered but half in
terest in the property, and after
trying in vain to get the other
half, they reluctantly dropped
it. The country in the vicinity
of this property is heavily min
eralized, the values occurring in
a series of lodges, which for the
most part parallel each other.
The Parker ledge runs nearly
nearly north and south and is
almost vertical, there being a
slight dip to the east. The main
ledge on the Ed. Williams claim
runs northeast and southwest,
dipping to the northwest. The
Parker Mining company people
are now seeking rich ore from a
recently discovered ledge on
their ground, some distance from
the main workings.
This region is remote from
transportation and ore has tc
run 500 per ton or better in or
der to yield a profit. 1t has tc
be taken by pack train 18 miles
before even a wagon road is
reached, and from there the
wagon haul is 68 miles to Mac

A wagon road from Challis ex

there leads up Bear creek anC

Parker Mt.


great mountain region of central
Idaho, and not fully known even
now to civilized man, is a bit of
lovely country called Parker
Mountain or Parker mountain
country, says the Salt Lake
Tribune. Its extent and exact
boundaries are not clearly de-
fined as yet, but it lies northeast
of Custer and a line drawn from
Challis to the mouth of Loon
creek would pass through the
heart of it. 1t is the source of
streams flowing into the Middle
Fork of Salmon river, and to the
south, east and north into the
main stream of the Salmon.
Parker Mountain itself covers
but comparatively small part
of the district. 1t is a goodly
land" as mountain countries go,
somewhat rugged, it is true, but
presenting to the lover of the
works of nature a picture diver
sified by a pleasing combination
of mountain, hill and valley.
Timber is abundant, much of it
of merchantable quality, while
springs and sparkling streams
abound. Game is plentiful and
on account of having been hunt
ed so little is extremely easy of
approach. 1t would seem a
paradise for the prospector and
hunter, yet, strange as it may
seem, the greater portion of it is
practically unprospected. Like
some other parts of this great
mountain section of central Ida
no it possesses rare natural at
fractions as a summer resort and
for camping, fishing and hunt
ing trips.
Early prospectors seem to
have missed this particular area
or to have passed it by, as nc
mineral locations, or at least or
which any work was done, seem
to have been made here prior tC
1903. In that year Edwin vii
liams, an old prospector vel
known and much esteemed

some obtain great riches. They en-

"They demand that the corporation
