news this week OF the death OF her
mother at Corinne, Utah. MIS-
Chase vas unable tc attend the Cd
seauies. The deceased was well
known In the Salmon River country.
Messrs. Dorsey, Gaskill and States
left for their West Virginia homes
Saturday morning. They had the
first clean up of the Tin boy, some
sixty ounces of pure gold in their
possession, which they took back
with them. Gold In that form will
no doubt be a great curiosity to most
OF the Eastern people. ii OF these
gentlemen have only the best OF re-
ports to give their friends as to the
value OF this part of Idaho as a min.
ing country. No doubt their success
In their mining venture In the Sal
mon River country will induce
number of other West Virginia cap
italists to invest In some OF our
mines, which only require capital to
make them profitable paying proposi-
lions.

getting things In shape to put up

to 20 out to the property In Few
days with wOrkmen and commence
construction work at once. AS soon
as the mill can lie put In operation

crushing ore. These gentlemen are
conservative business men, and will
nc doubt make a success of the Black
Eagle IL conservative and honorable
management counts for anything.

more business principles than has
been the case this year. The funds
have been expended most judicious-

the best possible results. The va
rious committees have been working
In perfect harmony, and each appar-
emily performed the work which was
assigned for them to do. Much OF
this success has been no doubt due to
the good judgment Of Phillip Rand,
the president of the various commit.

seemingly has made a special effort
