Exceptionally favorable re-
ports sent III to a big syndicate
Of London capitalists by an ex-
pert mining engineer, whom
they employed at their own ex-
pense to investigate the group
OF claims owned and operated
by the Silver City Mining & Mill
ing company, has resulted in
the syndicate requesting j. F.
Cook, the secretary-manager OF
the company who resides in
Boise, to pay personal visit to
the heads OF the syndicate in
London.
Mr.. Cook has accepted the invitation
and accompanied by his wife will leave
TO day for Portland on business con
nected with the company and will later
visit Spokane, Minneapolis, Chicago
and New York. From New York Mr.
and Mrs. Cook will sail for England,
where they will spend some time in
London. later visiting the continent.
The trip has been undertaken by Mr..
Cook in response to the request OF the
British capitalists to confer with the
tinanciers as to the conditions here and
the most practicable way III which they
may be met.
Tile company which Mr.. Cook rep
re sents has control OF group Of claims
which are dovetailed into those of the
famous Trade Dollar mine. The proper
y has been developed considerably and
is provided with the latest improved
mach inery, such as electric drills, auto
matte gravity hoists, etc. The company
will also buy or lease mill which is
already built near the mines for the con
centration of its ore. High values have
been found on the ground in gold, silver
and copper and hundreds of tons of ore
have been block ed out. The ore is OF
the finest free milling variety and it is
expected before many months that
operations on the ground will be in
full swing.

THE BANNER,

The building Of snow sheds, grading
and laying track from mouth of tunnel
to the mill is being rushed to completion
as fast as possible Mr. r. L. Walker
has been employed to take charge Of the
work in the mine and is now directing
operations in the underground workings.
The superintendent, Fred Inglis, is con-
fident that they will soon encounter a
large body Of good ore and have the mine
opened sufficiently to employ much
larger force of miners. At present they
are working two shifts in the mine and
developing three different veins. The
prospects of the Banner are very bright
at present, as the property is being man
aged in very economical and business
like manner with competent men in
charge Of the different departments. Mr..
Steele is expected home in few days and
reports the business of the company in
a very good condition.

The Big Sus ar Loaf

Last week Mr. Nugent completed the
annual assessment work on the claims
Of this property, and has opened the vein
at the depth of 100 it., with pitch Of
vein. The ledge at this depth is about
#. in width all in good ore earring high
values very similar to the ore found in
the Flint district. Considerable work has
been done on this property and the vein
uncovered and cut in several places where
it has shown good values, the ledge vary
ing from s inches to over it. in width,
When the company was formed the
usual mistake was made by putting a
man in charge of the development work
who was not fitted for the position and
did not use the funds of the company in
judicions manner. Mr.. Nugent has
been able to get control Of the manage
ment Of the property and will see that
the business is conducted in an economi-
cal and profitable manner in the future
This is another Of the surrounding mines
that only needs reasonable amount Of
capital, judiciously expended, to make it
dividend paying proposition.

reached us recently that the State
Land Board had set November
18th for the opening and public
sale Of the lands included in the
project Of the Kings Hill Extension
Irrigation Company. This com
pany win irrigate approximately
$1,000 acres of land and have
promised that water will be avail
able for the irrigation season Of
1910 The estimated cost to COM
plete the system is $650,000, but
the officers Of the company state
that large forces will be put to
work and the work rushed as fast
as possible. The land embraced
in this project includes the land
adjacent to Glenns Ferry and that
included in the famous Medbury
Valley Mr. L. G. Bradley, mana
ger Of the company, when asked
rega riding the lands under the pro-
iect stated, I believe the lands
around Glenns Ferry and in Med
bury Valley are as well adapted to
the raising Of fruits, even the more
tender varieties, as any land in
the Northwest. / had number
of expert horticulturists make an
investigation and report on the
project and they all back me pin
this assertion. Our conditions
here are identical to those that
prevail in the famous cantalcupe
section Of the Payette country
I have learned from the experience
of the old residents who have util-
lied the flow Of the creeks we re-
gervoir for irrigation, that canta-
loupes and Strawberries can be
grown here successfully and that
they can be placed upon the mark
ct from one to three weeks ahead
of any section now under cultiva-
ton. The horticulturists tell me
that there is no question as to the
successful growing Of potatoes and
that the soil contains five per cent
of iron which viii give to the
Apples and Pears that rich color
so necessary to the products that
bring the gilt-edge prices" The
water to be used for the irrigation
of this land is brought from the
Malade River which has a mimi
mum flow summer and winter of
100 sec. #. With large syphon
1000 #. in length this water will
be brought across the Snake River
from which oint the canal fifteen
miles in length will carry it along
the lands to be irrigated. Some of
the land under the project lies at
an elevation too high to be reached
by this ditch but this land will
be covered by reservoir system.
A reservoir having capacity of
10000 acre #. will be constructed
to conserve the comp.et waters of
the Bennett, Alkali, Cold Springs,
I Little Canyon and Dry Creeks.
These creeks drain the large
mountainous area known as Ben
nett Mountain and will furnish
much more water than is repaired
to irigate the lands now segregated.
It is contemplated, however, to en-
E large the system at later date to
e conserve all the waters from this
: watershed. The opening win be
2 held at the new townsite estab-
lished by the company in Medbury
Valley.
