THE BANNER !.

Work at putting machinery at the
mill is progressing satisfactorily. The
pans and settlers have all been moved
to the positions they are to occupy, and
the batteries are on the big concrete
block ready to be adjusted in position.
The heavy rock crusher has not yet
been hoisted to its place under the ore
bin on the top OF the mill. All of this
has involved big lot of work with
chain blocks and pulleys. When the
crusher is hoisted, the heaviest part of
the labor will have been done and only
the finer work of getting it all adjusted,
trued into line and bolted into place
will be required, when it will be ready
for the pulley wheels and betting to
put it all in motion. The motors and
electric power for driving them will
then be placed and the ''juice" will be
ready to be turned on. But great deal
has to be done yet before all of this is
accomplished.
In the mine, work has gone steadily
ahead in pushing No. A level further
north into the mountain, with the shoot
of white gold-bearing quartz still con-
tinuing to keep up its width and char
acter. There is lot of new ground be
ing opened for stopping when the mill is
ready to receive the ore.

to start the transformer house nearly
completed and it is expected to turn
on the electric power next week in
Dewey tunnel, to run the crosscut to
cut the ledge, about 600 feet lower
down than the former workings, or at
the 800 foot level of the mine. The
crosscut will he about 500 feet in
length and ore can be delivered from
the mine through it at point which
will obviate the necessity of its being
brought down the mountain to point
where the proposed mill will be To-
Gated. If the ledge proves as good
whore this crosscut reaches it as it is
in the upper workings, there can be
no doubt about another paying prop
erty being added to this camp.

SONG LEE DEAD.

II Song Lee had been born white
man, or had not worn a pig tail, he
would have been called prince among
men, by all who knew him. Well, he
was prince of good fellow anyway.
His big CHEEKY laugh. his big hearty
physique marked him a man among
men. Everybody here esteemed and
respected him, where he had spent
more than half the years of his life, al
ways the leader of his race, in the Owy-
hee mountains-a merchant, placer
miner and contractor
Song Lee is dead now, and many are
the regrets He died at Nampa, aged
81 years. He came to Silver City "a
years ago, and remained here until two
years ago, when the building of sugar
factory at Nampa and the diminishing
of bis countrymen here to few old and
feeble, attracted him to that flourish
ing place, where he opened restaurant
and eventually leased big, new build
ing and opened chinese store and
lodging house, patronized by orientals.
He did not make money by this venture,
and his health failing him and an in
durable sore breaking out on one of his
legs, last summer he was taken to Boise,
and finally brought back to Nampa,
where he died last Monday morning
and was buried in the Nampa cemetery,
Tuesday, according to the rites of his
race.
Song Lee was married before be left
China, and left son surviving him,
who came to this country upon permit
applied for by his father not long since,
and is now in Nampa.
The old timers of Owyhee will long
remember Song Lee and respect his
memory. He was the ehinaman among
all others who was a leader Of his race
here.

THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH


Mr.. Fegtley. with only two miners
working with him, is continuing to take
down high grade gold ore from the up
raise being made on the Village Black
smith to reach the bottom of the old
Trask shaft. Without assays to test its
value, it is estimated that the ore taken
down will run close to 800 per ton in
gold value. The amount of new ground
thus being opened in this portion Of
the mine is of considerable extent, and
it goes to prove that the Village Black
smith will develop into good paying
proposition when fully opened.

Eagles to Give q Big Ball and
Banquet.

The Owyhee Aerie OF Fraternal Order
of Eagles, recently organized in Silver
City, is making arrangements for giving
a Big Ball and Banquet at their aerie
on Valentines day evening, with real
live eagle, the property of the order,
with a seven-foot spread of wings to be
exhibited in the banqueting hall. In
order that the great American bird may
properly participate in enjoyment of
the proposed feast, guests are invited
to bring to it good, healthy, heavy
weight Thomas cats and watch the bird
tear them to pieces with claws and beak
and devour them. Mr.. John Connors,
Worthy President of the Aere here, de-
clares that theirs is the biggest and
most veracious bird belonging to the
order, and that he can make way with
one or more healthy live cats. A gem
eral invitation is extended to the public
to attend the ball and banquet, which
promises to be the festive occasion OF
the winter for Silver City. This is Leap
Year, and Valentines Day is the time
when birds begin to mate. There are a
number of eligible bache or M mbers OF
the order in Silver City.

POTOSI.

At 55 feet north from the bottom of
the shaft on No 3 level, ore was en-
countered in the Potosi mine this
week greatly encouraging to Superin
tendent Masters, who brought down
his pockets full of specimens to show.
The ore is a white copper-siained quartz,
filled with nuggets of silver and gray
copper, very similar to the ore found
in the south drift on No. 2 level AS il
comes from the deepest point yetreach-
ed on the property and the point farth-

Second Homestead Entries.

1t is quite probable that a law will
be enacted at an early day allowing
second homestead entries where the
entryman through no fault of his own
failed to make final proof on his
homestead; bill with this object in
view having been favorably reported
from the committee on Public Lands
in both branches of Congress. The
bill in the Senate was introduced by
Senator Hepburn and is being pushed
in the House by Congressman French.
The present law allowing second
homestead entries was enacted April
%, 1904, and was limited to entries
relinquished without consideration, or
abandoned prior to that date. The
legislation under consideration will be
boon to many honest settlers, who
through misfortune, poverty or other
hindrances have been unable TO hold
their claims.-Ex

FLINT REDIVIVUS.

The old Flint Mining District has had
peculiar history of being up and down.
Long years since, it was famous as
showing more miles of ledges than any
other district in Southern Idaho, and
considerable amounts OF rich silver ores
we're taken out, worked in a mill there
or shipped to smeters. Then the camp
fell INTO desuetude, and twenty five
years ago, was taken up or fell into the
hands of Omaha parties, directors in
the U. P. Ry., re-organized, and with
Major Stanton, the notee railway engi
neer, as manager, it was again started.
new and expensive mill was built,
and the North Star claim developed in
to paying proposition. An immense
stock of supplies was laid in, and every
thing wore fiourishing air, big board
ing house was built, cottages were pro
vided for the officials, stage line and
telegraph connected it with Silver City,
and for a time Flint was the busiest
mining camp in Owyhee. Then it fell
to pieces again; the big lot of supplies
aud equipments were sold at sacrifice
and the camp was virtually abandoned.
The mill constructed on wrong prin-
ciple by Major Stanton would not save
The values and the North Star shoot of
ore apparently played out. That was
in 1888. Since that the property has
been through many changes and vicis
situdes. But during all the years, Mr..
Holdridge, one of the Omaha directors,
has managed to retain an interest in
the property. Associating with him Mr..
f. P Bonnell, 3 few years since, they
re-organized the property under the
name of the Perseverance, Mining COM
pany, and have been doing desultory
stunts OF work on it ever since. Under
Mr.. Bonnel's management more vigor
GUS work was begun on it during last
summer. He has sunk the North Star
shaft down 100 feet deeper and encoun-
tered richer ore than has heretofore
been found on the property. Two car
loads of this ore have already been taken
out, ready for shipment. The big ore
bins at the mill have all been filed with
a good grade of milling ore.
The tunnel started from the mill
level to cut the North Star shoot of ore,
will be pushed to completion with pow
er drills. This is the good news brought
form Flint today by Mr.. Marcus
White.
