MINERAL DEPOSIT IN CAVE.
Another Big Opening Found BY Bemis
Brothers Near Burley.

The discovery of cave, unknown
before to the white man in southern
Idaho, the inside of which is lined with
a rich deposit of crystalized lead, may
mean the making of fortune for John
and Jess Bemis of Burley.
The news of the discovery reached
Boise this week and was received by
several of the residents of that city
who have been attending the legisla-
ture. All are inclined to believe that
the opening of the cave means but an
other attractive feature and curiosity
added to the many natural freaks of
nature which are continually being
discovered in and around Burley. Some
time ago a cave was accidently dis
covered by a party of campers near
Burley through the strong under
ground suction that drew the camp
fire smoke into small opening in the
earth which later proved to be the
mouth of vast cave. The under
ground cavity more recently discover
ed is in an entirely different locality.
While working on the old Nephi
Birch mining claim at the head of the
Boulder canyon, five miles southeast of
Basin, near Burley, John and Jess
Bemis, two brothers, discovered the
cave and unearthed one of the most
valuable deposits OF lead yet discover
ed in Idaho.
In making a blast a large rock was
blown away from the side of the can
yon, exposing cave about go feet wide
and extending back into the mountain
for distance of 200 feet On making
an investigation with torches 1t was
found that the walls of the entire cave
were covered with crystallized lead
while in many places the rock showed
big values in gold and silver.
| 1t is reported that several capital
lists have already become interested in
the discovery and large force OF men
will be put to work on the property al
once, The cave, now to be real mine
has been christened "The Morning
STAR" and some of the most conserva-
tive citizens of Burley are predicting
big mining camp in that vicinity

Redsox Have Quit.

The Jasper Redsox have decided to
close the season OF 100, will play no
moro games this year. The team has
made a fine record, though finishing
with lower percentage than last year.
In all, twcnty-nine games have been
played, of which twenty-five were won,
six lost and one tied. Carteryilie was
the only team that got better than Wn
even break with Jasper, taking three of
the six games lost and tying one. Sar-
coke and Monet, both Of whom claim
the southwest championship, each
broke even with the Sox in two games.
OF the pitchers, all have good records.
Thompson, who did the bulk of the
hinging, won nine games and lost four.
Mitchell won one and lost one. Bridges
annexed seven victories and suffered
one defeat. Persinger worked in three
games and won all Of them. Cochran
ia two trips 10 the mound scored VIC
tory and tie, the latter shutout.
There are no available records OF the
teams fielding or biting. The team
probably did not field up to last years
standing and lacked individual sluggers
altogether. The general batting aver
age, however, was probably as high or
higher.
The Indebtedness is something 10 the
neighborhood of fifty dollars, much less
than was expected few weeks ago. In
this connection it might be well to re-
quest all who have accounts against the
team to present them at once.
