MILL SURE FOR
TWIN BUTTE

Several weeks ago Mining News pub
lished a rpmor, to the effect that mill
is to be established on the Twin Butte
property, in Orogrande district, during
the present summer. This paper now
learns from reliable source that the re-
port was correct, but instead of 10
stamp mill, as stated, the plant will be
of the same pattern as that being in
stalled at Meadow Creek, with capacity
equal that of a 10-stamp mill 1t ap-
pears the new improvement was decided
definitely after recent visit by, Presi-
dent Peterson and his son at the mine,
during which many samples were taken
and thorough inspection was made.
1t is given out that the new machin-
cry will be on the ground before the
fall rains set in.

A TRAIL
TO HARPSTER

Forest Rranger Mcpherson of Kooskia
was called to Orogrande this week to
look into the matter of cutting and con-
structing a trail from Orogrande to
Harpster. The proposed Improvement,
it is understood, is backed by the min
ing companies and business concerns in
Orogrande and Buffalo Hump mining
districts, it being the aim to make
shorter the distance to the railroad
over water grade route.
Should the proposed Improvement be-
come a reality it would prove boon to
all central Idaho camps. that are kept
back because of lack of transportation
facilities. The trail will serve as fore
runner for wagon road, and ultimately
a railway.
The trail will run along Cooked river,
to Clearwater river and to Harpster.
Work will not be started before next
summer.

Brawner were among the first prospect

Pretendsrs and Grafters Are Too
Often in Control Of Affairs.
CAFITAL rs MISTREATED
Experience Proves Many Fail
ures Due to Dishonesty.

It is often difficult to impress
upon the minds of mining oper-
ators the fact that good manage
ment is just as important in min
ing operations as is the possess
ion Of a really good mine or pros
pect. And yet this is the gospel
truth, and recognized as such by
all experienced and successful
mining men, says Salt Lake Min
ing Review.
1t has often been asserted that
it is a poor mine, indeed, that
will not stand bad management.
This may be true and yet no valid
excuse exists for the poor man
agement Of any mine, however
good it may be, and it is also true
that many really valuable prop
critics have been closed down and
condemned as worthless and val
ueless because Of incompetency
and bad Judgment on the part Of
the management. Many cases Of
this character can be cited in this
intermountain region, and an in
stance of extravaganza and stu
penduous ignorance on the part
Of mine superintendent has lately
come to our notice which fully
illustrates what some mining
companies have to go up against
in their efforts to develop pro-
ducing and paying mine.
In this instance the property in
question was owned by an En-
glish syndicate the destinies Of
which were presided over by a
man whose knowledge of mining
was on a par with his apparent
lack of honesty. When short of
funds this superintendent would
cable the company that some
rhyolite was showing in the vein,
which had an east and west
trend and a dip to the south. "
The company would then levy an
other assessment, and this con-
tinued until the company had ex-
pended nearly half a million in
mine development and equip
ment. Then the stockholders be-
gan to roar, and the president OF
the company was sent over tC

Assays from picked samples run from
$50 to $1OO,
Bismark Group.
This group of four claims owned by
the same parties as the Snowshoe, has
excellent surface indications, though
there is little development done. 1t

by a short tunnel The ledge runs
from three to fifteen feet in width,
crosscuts having been made along the
ledge for distance of 5000 feet. The

silver and 1-1O per cent copper.
Yellow Jacket Group.
The Yellow Jacket group of claims
consists of two claims and is owned by
Janson Bros. and Hendrickson. There
is one lead. The development consists
of surface cuts. No assays have been
made. but the ore pans gold freely.
Many Other Good Ones.
There are many other good properties
in the Big Creek district on which much
work is done, but Mr.. Janson was not
enough familiar with them to give de-
scription Among them are: Buck
