GOLD STRIKE
At OR0GRANDE
EXPERTS PREDICT A RUSH TO
EQUAL ANY THAT HAS MADE
EARLY HISTORY OF GOLD MIN.
ING IN IDAHO FAMOUS.

The Elk City Mining News reports
a big free gold strike in the Four
Mile district, near Orogrande, and
predicts mining rush that will
eclipse the early mining history of
the rich Idaho placers. The follow
ing account of the find is taken from
the Elk City paper:
"a mining boom having all the
trimmings and variations that char
acterzed the first rushes to Thunder
Mountain and Buffalo Hump, but
seemingly with stronger founda-
ton to hold out, is on from Oro-
grande to the Four Mile country
near the Clearwater river, IA miles
from Orogrande, where John How
ard and John Lackey have exposed
a ledge IA feet wide of ore that
shows gold to the naked eye. The
ledge is exposed at SO feet depth, is
firm the entire width and neither of
the walls had been found at the last
report
"The first news of the strike
reaching Elk City came by way of
Newsome Wednesday, the news per-
colating into Orogrande and sur
rounding camps by way of the grape
vine route, but Tuesday the highest
state of excitement was reached
when Engineer P. H. Leach arrived
in Orogrande from the Four Mile dis
trict and gave the first reliable re-
rort on the rich discovery.
"By telephone the information Is
given that all of the men in Oro-
grande who are footloose are strik-
ing out for the new discovery, and
a number have quit the employ of
companies to go. The trail over the
summit is still blocked with snow, so
that those who are after fortune in
the new Eldorado are trudging along
the 14-mile trail with packs on their
backs and bucking the snow. The
days of Buffalo Hump excitement are
recalled.
Excitement spread to Elk City
miners and prospects Thursday night
and from indications a number will
obey the hunch to git up and GIT
but 1t is likely the Elk City contin-
gent will go in by way of Newsome.
Mr.. Leach, who gave out the first
authentic report on the strike, is
mining man from Colorado, and he
mas associated with him in all the 10
cations he makes in central Idaho
Mr.. Burbridge Of the Bunker Hill &
sullivan mine, in the Occur d'Alene
district. Mr. Leach has several good
properties of his own in the Four
Mile country. but as soon the How
ard-Lackev strike was made Mr.
Leach took an extensive location.
This is the biggest gold strike
ever found in any part of the Bitter
Root range said Mr.. Leach, and
neither of the walls has been found
yet, They don't do any panning or
looking at the rock with glass;
.heF break 1t and look at it with the
naked eye. They have no waste
