Leon think that fountain of youth was
not in it. Clear, sparkling. spring
water, that gurgles from the rock fqrn-
ish the camp water supply. The bunk
house, two stories, 20x40 feet, and con-
tanning two large rooms on each floor,
is on the side of the hill and a little
farther up is the office and quarters for
the manager and the Superintendent, a
two-story structure ample for all pur-
poses,. and as nicely furnished in office
and living apartments as the most fas,
tidious would hope for in sea shore
resort. 1t is from this the, power goes
out that makes the mining at Moose
Creek a success. To-use a stereotyped
phrase, there is about 10000 horse
power used in the operations at the
mine, in the persons of c. A. Parsons
as manager and Archie Bishop as super
intendent. The business is scientifically
conducted. Guess work has no place in
management, and all '1eaks in the bust
ness" are quickly detected and the
remedy applied. By mathematical cal
culation the office. knows at all times
just how the company stands how
many cubic yards of dirt have been
moved in a given time, and the value
it carries. The company will work
125, 900 cubic yards this season, which
opened latter part of March and will
continue until September.
Officers are Qualified Men,
Mr.. Parsons, as manager, has beer
in charge since February, 1905. His
family will come out from Grangeville
and spend the summer with him.
B. F. Rhodus, of Chicago, vice presi-
dent of the company, visited at the
camp several days, but left Thursday.
The Moose Creek property comprises

One of the most important points in
the negotiations for the sale of the
Buster mine by S. w. Smith to F. w.
Bradley and his associates was reached
this week, when three of the gentlemen
interested arrived to make what had
been supposed to be the final inspection
of the property. 1t was generally sup
posed the final inspection would not be
made before July 1st, when the bond
expires, and the unexpected and early
visit of the gentlemen interested can be
taken to mean but one thing: they de-
sire an extension of time, and, having
the extension granted, they want the
revised bond in legal form before the
first bond expires. The extension of
time by no means indicates the bond
holders have any doubts as to the value
of the Buster mine. The opinions of the
gentlemen on the ground are decidedly
favorable to the property, and many
times they have assured Mr.. Smith,
"The Buster is mine" The request
for extension of time, then, has to do
with matters entirely aside from the
property. and is move that is common
to large companies operating in many
districts and holding working bonds on
number of properties at one time, and
whose total value represents many mil
lions of dollars
Taking Many Samples.
The mine is being thoroughly sampled
in all ore bodies and the dumps. The
men getting the samples are H. c.
Callahan, ]. H. Mackenzie and James
Thorn. Messrs. Mackenzie and Gala
han are among those most interested in
the bond, and Mr.. Thorn is their assist
ant. The party arrived Sunday in spec
ial conveyance. Monday morning they
joined the Buster bucket brigade. Mr.,
Callahan, an aged gentlemen, was

The Moose Creek Gold Mining COM
pany is employing 20 men at present at
its placer ground, IA miles west of this
place, and the dirt is being handled in a
manner that appears to Indicate the
year 1907 will be productive of as much
or more of the yellow metal than any one
season in the IA years the large placer
field on the South Fork has been worked,
Crude methods in taking the gold from
the ground were used for many years,
but the new equipment on the Moose
Creek ground, which was added to and
Eoverhauled after last years run, gives
the company very effective power and
water supply, probably no other com
panY in all of Idaho having better
equipment.
A Visit to Moose Creek.
Dr.. J. D. Shinnick and the Mining
News man made visit to the Moose
Creek placer Tuesday, the doctor going
on professional business apd the press
man to look for bones on which to hang
the mantle of imagination for the many
readers who are learning each week
through the columns of the paper of the
wonderful possibilities in the mining in
dustry central Idaho offers. Hospital

never grown less.
