NEW STRIKE IN
GOLD BULLION

G. E. Svenson who is manager for
the Elk Gold Bullion Mining and Mill
ing company, made a strike of new ore
last Friday, which shows free gold to
the naked eye. The discovery was
made on the surface, and on one Of the
ledges that had not been worked. The
ledge is 16 inches wide, and the ore is
lead telluride in character.
There are six ledges in the Gold Bull
lion claims.

Transportation Big Prob
lem in New District.
MANY NATURAL ADVANTAGES
Good Rock and Water Supply
Always Sufficient.

The Four Mile country, though rich
in ral-bearing rock, and possessing
some advantages that make it good
district to operate in, will never take
its proper place among the gold-pro-
ducing districts of the northwest until
it gets a railroad. This is the opinion
given out by all classes of men who
have returned from the district where
the late gold strike was made. All of
the men endured great hardship going
to and returning from the Four Mile
country. Very few carried more than
their usual blankets and provisions for
a few days, but they found the trip ex-
ceedingly difficult ct that. To get ma
chinery into the -Four Mile country, it
is generally agreed, would cost more
than the best mining companies would
be willing, or able, to pay, to leave out

District Has Good Rock.
That the new district has valuable
rock no one who has been there will
deny, and the men who have returned
from there this week say the stampede
is as big and the desire for locations as
keen as ever. p. II. Leach and How
ard and Lackey appropriated TO their
own use a great area Of the heart Of
the territory before the vanguard Of
the stampede arrived. Many perma-
nent camps have been established, but
the work at present consists principally
Of open cuts and l0-foot holes.
Natural Advantages.
The water supply in the -Four Mile
country is neyer-failing, the streams
being fed by the almost perpetual snow
in Buffalo Hump, Timber is not so
plentiful. ID seems a temporary solu-
ton Of the transportation problem can
be bad by building a wagon road 10 the

institutions where they were serving, Re-
ports we're received from each Of the officers
detailed and each institution was inspected

the Government aid enjoyed by certain col

ment Is getting in the way OF military train
