Silver City District Ranks First
in Production of Gold.
Takes Second Place in Production
of the White Metal.
Extracts from F. Cushing ooe Report state mine Inspector

The mineral production of Idaho for
the year 1909, totalling slightly in excess
Of that Of the previous year, was materi-
ally less than it would have been were it
not for the inactivity Of several Of the
larger mines and many of the smaller
ones.
The states mineral production for the
year, basing the figures upon the average
New York metal prices, aggregates $l5,-
SOL, l3l or $45, 730 greater than the 1908
production. The greatest source of rev.
enue was from lead mining, which pro-
duced 1886, ,57l The next metal in
point of Importance was silver, the pro-
duction for the year aggregating SO, ,625, :
3l7. Gold ranks third with production
of 81 ,455, ,48l, copper fourth with 81, ,034, I
65l, zinc fifth with $l04, ,S4l, and coal
sixth with value of approximately $780,
900. There are also some valuable de-
posits Of phosphate rock within the state,
which have been mined upon very small
scale during the year but which are likely

the future.
Numerous surveys for railways are be-
ing made in various parts of the noun
famous sections OF the state, which, if
constructed, will materially aid the min
ing industry and increase the production,
as Idaho possesses many promising base
and precious metal properties which at
the present time are so remotely located
from transportation facilities that it is
impracticable to carry on operations, but
which would become productive if brought
within a reasonable distance Of railroad.
Since the depression of 1907 Idaho has
suffered severely from lack of financial
assistance in prospecting and developing
the smaller properties. The larger pro-
perties which were on a producing basis
prior to that time have been able to oper-
ate almost continuously, as the metal
prices have been fairly good, but there
has been great lack of interest shown

Bright Future for the Silver
City Mining q Milling Co.

Arrangements have been made with a
Paris syndicate to fully finance this COM
pany, the name Of which has been chang
ed TO that of ''The Silver City Mining &
Milling Co., London, 1910"
]. F. Cook, the company's secretary,
returned from Europe about a week or
ten days ago, and the final payment of
$40, $50 was made to Abel A. Berg, the
former owner. L. S. Honstead, the COM
pany's president, arrived here from Boise
on Monday, with the deeds to be placed
on record and same together with com
plete abstract has been forwarded to the
Paris underwriters, and just as soon as
details are completed, $l25, 900 will be
deposited in Boise bank to be used for
development purposes, besides sufficient
funds for mill ETC., when development
will start in earnest.
The company now owns of the best
mineral claims on Florida Mountain, ad-
joining the famous Trade Dollar group,
with an up-to-date electrical equipment,
consisting of compressor, transformer etc.
also all the necessary buildings. The
company has contract with the Swan
Falls Power company for power, which
has already been installed and is ready to
turn on, and there will be practically no
time lost in driving the crosscut tunnel to
tap three of the best defined and mineral
bearing veins on Florida Mountain, when
the company gets started, and which we
are told will he in the near future.

wENNERsTEN MINING CO.

The Nugget has just received authentic
information from London, England, that
the property of the Wennersten Mining
company has been taken over by an Eng
lish mining company that has been or
ganized for the purpose of working this
well known group of mines. The very
favorable report of Mr.. Means, the min
ing expert who was sent here to inspect
the property in the early part of 1909,
and the business manner in which the
affairs of the Wennersten company have
been conducted, proved to the English
investors that the mine was well worth
expending large sum in the purchase
and development of same.
The English company is incorporated
for the sum of e1OO, ,0OO under the Eng
lish laws, and will have its head office in
London. Extensive operations will soon
be commenced to develop the property
and put it in proper shape for mining the
large bodies of ore known to exist on this
ground.
The chief parties interested will be
made known later on, and as they are
men of wealth and have had great deal
The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1910-04-07

Of experience in mining they expect to
expend a large amount in putting this
property in a way to soon become pro-
ducing mine
Mr.. J. M. Morgan has been in London
for several months in the interest Of the
Wennersten company, and has now sue
ceeded in interesting English capital in
the mining properties of this district. AS
soon as the necessary papers are made
out he will return to Silver City and meet
the Board Of Directors of the Wennersten
company when the final transfer will be
made Mr.. Morgan viii have full power
Of attorney from the London company to
transact all business necessary for the
deal and to proceed with the develop
ment on the property.
This will add another big mining enter
prise, with plenty of money behind it, to
thoroughly develop our rich mines.

by the investing public, and it is only
within the latter part of the past year
that the renewed interest in the develops
ment unproductive properties has mani
tested itself The fact that the tendency
toward the development of prospects is
on the increase is a very encouraging sign
for bright future and during the coming
year many Of the properties which have
the ear marks of mines and which have
been idle for several years are likely to
again resume operations.

Owing to the bad condition of the roads

caused by the late rains, the stage did
not get in here until very nearly 10 o clock
last evening.
Not very large crowd attended the
dance which was given here last Friday

who did attend, say that they had the

An exchange says that laying on Of
hands for complaints, especially in chill
dren, is now taking the place of Christian
science. A mother cured her boy of the

laid the slipper where it would do the
most good. 1t effected cure and re-
lapse is not looked for
Quite windstorm prevailed here last
Friday evening, which did some damage
to property belonging to Henry Rood. A
real Nebraska twister came along and
smashed the outhouse, at his residence,
into smithereens. Henry, who is quite
an architect, with the assistance of Con-
tractor Dave O'Keefe, soon began laying
out plans for new structure, and the
next day very modern one was erected
which now adorns the premises.
Two more saloons have now closed their
doors, that Of the Mint, Michael Rock,
proprietor, and the Reception, John Slat-
terry, proprietor Michael Rock, however,
has taken out new license and will from
now on run saloon in DeLamar. He
has bought out Angus Mcdonald, who
will retire. The place is more familiarly
known as the Barkle Bros. saloon. John
Slattery has gone to Boise, and what his
plans are for the future, we are unable to
state just now.
Get ready for big mining--we will not
call it a boom-but legitimate improve
ment this spring. The whole world is
finding out that mining pays. They have
been finding out that it is about the only
business, except dealing in government
bonds and running national banks, which
does pay. The men who have been sadly
contemplating the depreciation of prices
and the tumble in values of different in
vestments, except that of the yellow
metal, are digging up their ready cash to
invest in mining properties.
Charles Weir, commonly known around
our camp here as ''scar-face Charley"
and who was employed as a sheep camp
tender for w. F Skinner, shot and killed
a Basco by the name of Domingo Adj
cova, last Sunday, in a gun duel in
Drewsey canyon, about 12 miles west of
Jordan Valley. The trouble being over
grazing ground. We were informed by
phone that at the coroner's inquest held,
the jury rendered a verdict that the
Basco met his death by gun in the
hands of Charles Weir. The deputy
sheriff from lie went out in an automo-
bile and placed him under arrest, starting
back with the prisoner yesterday NOR

Idaho produced 7O,898 fine ounces, or
ST, ,465, 48l Of gold during the year. The
Silver City district ranks first in produc-
ton with $4O4, ,9S3, Boise Basin second
with S24l, ,277, and Elmore county with
$209, l06 third. The greater portion of
the production Of this county was derived
from the quartz mining operations in the
Atlanta district. Custer county ranks
fourth in gold production with SlO1, ,901
to its credit for the past year.

SILVER.

Every mining county in the state pro-
duces more or less silver, the bulk of
which, however, was derived from the
Occur d Alene galena ores, which pro-
duced SS per cent of the total production
Of the state, which was 7,039, 45l fine
ounces, with market value of SO, ,625, ,317.
The next district in importance in the
production Of silver was the Silver City
district i'll Owyhee county, which produc-
ed between 8 and 10 per cent of the states
total production. There are many prop
critics in several sections of the state with
large tonnage of dry silver ores in sight
which are lying inactive owing to the lack
Of metallurgical processes and transpor-
tation facilities, but with the advance
ment in the price of silver and railway
activity, the silver production of the fu-
ture is likely to be greatly increased.
