silver, and owing to the very desirable
geological conditions under which the
gold is here found, the belief is fully justi-
fed that with depth increased values will
be encountered-th great width of the
surface groupings clearly demonstrating
that the quantity is here.
The property is easy Of access from the
DeLamar and Silver City wagon road,
abundance Of water for milling purposes
is near at hand and the electric power
line passes close by.
Mr.. Hoffman is interested in the gold
fields Of Nevada, and it is understood
that his thorough familiarity with the
conditions under which paying gold ores
are there found is what has attracted his
attention to the porphyry section Of the
zone here.

PAYMASTER GOLD MINING
COMP ANY.


The Paymaster Gold Mining Co., ]. P.
Hoffman, President, with home Office at
Duluth, Mimi, has acquired a group of
mining claims in the porphyry section OF
this mineral zone located in the lower
reaches OF the western slope of Florida
Mountain.
The ledge on this property is in the
contact between basalt and porphyry and
for several hundred feet ridges above the
adjacent surface showing a number of
feet in width the entire distance.
The ore is what is generally classified
as quartz porphyry'' and is strongly
infused with iron which has become thor
oughly oxidized, making an ideal ore for
cyanide treatment. All of the openings
so far pan in free gold.
Considering the indicated immensity of
the probable ore resources, the fire tests
of the ores lying near the surface have
been entirely satisfactory, giving very fair

POTOSI.

Good progress is being made in driving
both the north and south drifts on num-
Der three level in the mine. The north
drift is now in 14O feet from the shaft,
with the walls Of the vein fully four feet
apart, and ore Of good grade for about
one foot but considerably broken mp.
Very little water is coming in.
On the south drift, now in 100 feet,
there is a considerable flow Of water, sup
posed to come from the same source the
water, further on in No. 2 level came
from, but in this level coming from the
top, while in No. 2 it came from the bot
tom. From this it is thought its source
is from point between the two levels,
which they will encounter when further
in. The ore vein south in this level is
two feet wide, similar in character to that
in the upper level further south.

IN OWYHEE COUNTY
TRADERS c M. COMPANY.

Orders have been received to start work

owing to the lack of adequate ventilating
facilities only a small force can be worked.
TIE ledge on this property is persistent
and well defined, with an argillaceous
cleavage Of varying width and a heavy
mineralized filling or gangue Of black
basalt.
With the exception of here and there,
SO far, the values in the ore, although
continuous, have been of medium char
acter, but as the conditions are right, it
is not unreasonable to expect that per-
sistent development will eventually open
up ores of higher grade.

THE JAMES HENDERSON
ESTATE.

Quite number of Oreana and Castle
Creek people were in Silver City over yes
terday, brought here to be witnesses in a
family contest, to settle whom should be
appointed administrator of the estate Of
James Henderson. who died year ago,
leaving considerable real and personal
property, widow and seven children.
One of the sons made application some
time since to be appointed, and to this
the mother and number of the children
objected, and the mother filed petition
for the appointment and was favored by
the majority OF the children.
When they met here and held con-
ference, compromise was effected, with
the consent of all the parties and Mrs.
Minnie Weston, who by virtue of her Of
flee as county treasurer and ex-officio
public administrator, was appointed by
the probate court, to settle the affairs of
the estate and make legal distribution of
the proceeds. The general opinion Of
those who are acquainted with all the
parties, is that this was the best course
to pursue, to avoid complicated family
wrangle.
Among the prominent persons who
came here to be witnesses, we noted
Messrs B. H. Hyde, Thomas Penrose and
Dick McCumber, and Mrs. P. Linehan Of
Oreana, and the following named heirs
to the estate John Henderson, now re-
siding at Seattle, Washington, W. R.
Henderson and Mrs. Bessie Stein of
Glenn's Ferry, Ida, and all the other
children, residing at home with their
mother.

CabIed to Ireland for Teacher.

The following item, copied from Kali
amazoo, Michigan, newspaper, refers to
member of the well known Bruce family
of this county, the older members of
which are nearly all gone, leaving only
Mrs. A. R. Sotheren Of DeLamar and
George w. Bruce OF Roosevelt. and
number Of nieces and nephews here. The
young lady referred to is one of the nieces;
Supervisor Buckham of Oshtemo has
had the rather unique experience of cab
ling to Ireland for school teacher.
Miss Evelyn Bruce was one of the pop
ular teachers of the county. Last June
she went to her home near Dublin for a
trip. She was engaged to teach in Dis
trict No 3, Of which Mr.. Buckham is di-
rector. Some two weeks before she in
tended to sail she was taken seriously i'll
and her place had to be filed with sub
stitute. Matters have not been progress
ing favorably for some time IN the school.
Last week Mr.. Buckham sent cable to
his niece. Come first boat" Miss
Miss Bruce left Queenstown Sunday, Feb.
%, on the Marretama and arrived in
Kalamazoo on Sunday last. She is ac-
companied by her younger sister, Miss
Kathleen Bruce. Her many friends win
be delighted to see her back.

THE BANNER

Besides the work being continued north
on Nos. 8 and 4 levels with favorable re-
suits, the manager has started raise
from No. / level toward the surface,
north of the original Banner shaft and is
finding body of rich looking ore the
full width of the upraise. This horizon
of ore only extends down to No 2 level
and differs in color and character from
that in the two lower levels, carrying a
greater proportion of gold to the amount
of silver. No assays have been made of
this ore as yet, but from its looks it is
thought it win prove to be found high
grade.
Work on the mill is getting on nicely
and work on the gravity portion of the
tramway, which requires quite high
trestle before reaching the rock crusher
at the mill will be begun the first Of next
week.

A BIR PARTY.

They had great doings up the gulch at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Steele,
last Saturday night The young people
down in town got onto the fact that their
nephew Peter Schumacher, whom they
call Billie" to distinguish him from his
uncle Pete" had that day achieved his
twentieth birthday, and one girl had
quietly told Mrs. Steele that a lot of the
young people intended to call upon him.
Whereupon, the family, including Mr..
and Mrs. Tom Nelson, began preparations
for receiving the party. Cakes, confec-
tions and coffee had to be made, and all
entered into the spirit Of the thing, broke
and beat eggs, stirred material for cakes
etc. Mr.. Nelson even proposing birth
day cake, which he volunteered to COM
pound, and did construct. But to keep
billie" from suspecting what was up,
they had to send him away on an errand.
Finally about nine O'Clock the young
people came, fully twenty Of them and
got settled in the house before Billie got
back. When he came they gave the sur
prised and modest young man most
hearty greetings, winding up by present.
ing with fountain pen, with Jimmy
Brown making graceful presentation
speech, as follows;
Mr.. Schumacher; 1t has become my
pleasant duty, in behalf Of your young
friends assembled here tonight, to remind
you, that like all Of us, you have now
achieved the age of vigorous and what
we hope will prove brilliant manhood,
and on this your twentieth birthday we
have gathered here to present you with
this slight token of our regards, and with
our wishes that the life you have so re
Gently begun in this western country may
becrowned with successful achievements. y
Thereupon, the young man accepting
the present, difidently, but feelingly, re-
sponded:
My young friends: Words fail me to
express my feelings on this occasion, and
the pleasant surprise it has been to meet
so many of you here tonight. 1t has on
ly been few short months since came
among you, stranger, and the cordiality
with which / have been received has
made the time seem exceedingly short
l only wish | could better express to you
my thanks, not only for this neat present,
but for your good will and kindly good
wishes. While I live among you, as |
hope indefinitely to do, l hope we may
all have for each other the same feeling
of good will which now exists. Again, l
thank you, one and all. !"
And then the girls and boys all shook
hands with Billie.
Then the hostesses, Mesdames Steele
and Nelson, invited the party to partake
of refreshments, not overlooking the
birthday cake which Tom had constructed
and the party continued with music and
cards until late hour and was closed
with a jig tune, with Carrie Hastings at
the piano, and Mr.. Peter Steele doing
lively dance to the music.
