BOYD BASIN COUNTRY HAS
EXTENSIVE MINERAL BELT

II. w. Augustine of Los Angeles,
president of the Alta Mining & Smelt.
ing company, is among the large mum
Der of mining men who have inspected
the properties at Florence, the Boyd
Basin gold camp. He is very much
pleased with what he saw and as he has
had a great deal of experience in the
mining industry his opinion of the dis
trict should have great weight.
In speaking of the camp to a Star
reporter, Mr.. Augustine stated that he
has been in the greater part of the min
ing in the west, but he did not
hesitate to say that in no section of the
state has he seen a better showing for
a big mining camp than in the Boyd
Basin and the Pine Forest range OF
mountains. in which is situated the
camp of Florence. The whole range is
a great mineral belt, extending north
and south for many miles. Mr.. Angus
tine further stated that he did not make
a casual inspection of the different
properties at Florence, but spent several
days there, making a thorough inspec-
tion and sampling of the many claims
and prospects in the district. When
questioned as to his opinion of the per
manency of the lodges there he said
that he believed that Florence was one
of the biggest camps that he was ever
in as far as surface showings were con-
eerned. The lodges are large and have
every indication of being permanent.
1t was at the instance of J. A. Hill,
who is heavily interested at Florence,
that Mr.. Augustine made the inspec-
ton of the camp and his visit there was
not without result. for Mr.. Augustine
acquired interests in a number of prop
critics there and will show his faith in
the holdings by starting development
work on the claims in a short time.
Deals Made at Florence
Florence is gradually getting into
line as an active camp and in a short
time there will be a great deal of de-
velopment work going on.
The Victoria group has been bonded
to w. A. Towle and DIR. Berger of San
Jose, CAL, for $4,000, with a good sub
s~tantial payment.
J.. A. Hill and associates nave made
arrangements to start the sinking OF a
50-foot shaft on the Portland. This
property is situated about a mile west
Of the Rainstorm group and has good
showing OF ore.
To Sink 100-Foot Shaft
On the Neglect claim, owned by w.
C. Pitt, w. c. Ruddell aud John Duffy.
a 100-foot shaft is to be sent down as
soon as the necessary arrangements can
be made. Where the location work was
done on the property there is a good
showing of $40 ore.
Charles Barkey is doing location
work ON his claim south of town and
has exposed a three-foot vein of ore
that pans well in gold.
Much Work Being Done
Dempsey, Dunn and Price have dis
covered a ledge on the south fork Of
Big creek that has every indication of
making a mine. They have discovered
a large body Of ore that assays well in
gold.
John Strasack. who WINS the Senator
claim, which adjoins the rich Spencer
property on the north. is arranging to
sink a shaft on the ledge that shows
rich gold ore.
Peter Sager is uncovering good ore
on his claims near Alta creek. The ore
being taken out is copper stained and
shows considerable coarse gold.

GONPERS IS VICTIM

Candidate, Beginning Tour

By JAMES HAY, II.

CIRCLEvILLE, Ohio, oct. l2--Judge
Taft at 7 o'clock this morning began
the three days tour of Ohio. which he
hopes Will result in the State finally

this far to making his prosperity ap-

Here, however, where there Is large
labor population, he changed his text
and went after Samuel GOmpers. presi-
dent Of the American Federation OF
Labor. He declared that Gompers is
mistaken when he tells the country
that organized labor has lost prestige
and has been dragged down by the de-
cisions Taft rendered while on the
bench
To prove Gompers wrong. he cited
figures and comparative statistics show
ing the expansion Of labor IN the last
ten or twelve years, and he went on 70

retarded the development. That the
candidate intends to do all in his power
to win votes in Ohio Is shown by the
fact that he will have made sixteen
speeches today when he ends the trip

It was at Akron three years ago that
he made himself popular in Ohio by his
fierce denUnciation OF George B. Cox
and the ring rule of the Hamilton

A NJ. Herring. the New York aviator,

the Signal Corps Of the army, arrived
at Fort Myer. the test ground. at 10
o'clock this morning.
He brought his machine with him, and
IL is being housed in the aerOplane shed
on the southern edge OF the drill ground
where was housed the Inflated Wright
machine that plunged to earth. killing
Lieut.. Thomas +. Selfridge. and seri-
CUsly injUring OTville Wright.
The Herring machine is not unlike
that of the Wrights. Mr. Herring has
every confidence in il, and has made
great claims for its pracucability. II is
considerably lighter In weight than the
Wright machine. and consequently does
not require as great a lifting force.
Sure He Will Triumph.
The motor is much lighter than that
used by the Wrights, and Mr.. Herring
declared today that he could meet all
the requirements Of the Signal Corps
with the utmost ease. He said, how
ever, that he objected to be restricted
10 the rough ground and narrow sail
ing space of the drill ground, and would
demonstrate with the Signal Corps If
he was compelled TO keep his machine
within limited space.
Mr.. Herring kept his coming secret,
and he was safely installed at Fort
Myer, before his presence was known.
BY his request all employees Of the rail
road company. the hauling men, and
the officers at Fort Myer denied his
presence until the tip leaked out at
the War Department and Major Squier
announced that he had been officially
informed Of Mr.. HeTrngs presence at
