FACTS ABOUT PLACtRS
ABOVE MlNIDOKA PROJECT

A report on placer claims above
the Minidoka dam was recently
made at the request of the reclama-
ton service by Messrs. L. c. Gill
lett and w. L. Walker under the
direction of DIR. David T. Day, of
the United States Geological Sur

flee of the reclamation service in
Was hington, where any one inter-
cstcd may consult it. The invcs-
tigation of this ground was under
taken last May and June in order
. to ascertain its mineral value be-
fore it became submerged by the
backwatcr of the Minidoka dam. A
plan to drcdgc this ground has late

from promoters, and already one
company has been organized and
several claims near the lower end
of the backwatcr have been pur-
chased with a view to the installa-
ton of a dredge.
The claims prospccted were those
designated cy Mr.. -. w. KoSS, sup
cruising engineer of the reclams-
tion service, and were situated along
the Snake river above the Minido-
lSa dam, which is six miles south
of the station of Minidoka, Idaho.
As the water was already rising
when the investigation began, the
bulk of the work was done in the
near neighborhoCd of the old work
ings in order to determine the
value of the ground that was for
merly considered profitable, and to
determine whether the claims made
were true. The values were found
to be very irregularly distributed
and in but few cases equal to the
claims made by those interested in
the land.
The prospecting was accom-
plished by means of test pits, PAN
ming, and sampling, the samples
taken being shipped to Portland,
Oregon, for treatment and assay.

down the proposition that nothing
so freely contributes to railroad ac-

reverse proposition ought to be true
that nothing would so contribute
