There are more men employed in the
mines in this district to day than there
has been for several years past. While
the companies that employ large mum
ber of men attract the public attention
yet it must be remembered that there
are small properties by the scores that
are now operating, employing from
two to dozen miners which in the ag-
gregate counts up largely and which
have begun operation within the last
year. Little publicity is given these
and yet they are doing their part for
the district and its financial welfa re-.

"BilIy" Lamb was in the first of the
week and was greatly pleased over the
big strike in the Bride mine. He was
exhibiting sample of a two and half
foot streak of lead ore that has been
opened up by himself and his leasing
associates, Messrs o W. Lowell, Tom
johnson and Billy Woodward. They
have been pushing the work in the
Idaho Tunnel up Boomerang Gulch and
have been successful in opening up this
streak that will average over
$1,000 per ton while in close prox-
unity to it is also streak of paying
mill dirt. He estimates that they will
commence making shipments of about
fifty tons a week to the smelters.
There are plenty of idle properties in
this district that will respond to the
pick and drill if the money is put into
them, to open them up in a mine like
manner.
