FORMER SILVER CITY RESIDENT
DIES AT BATTLE MOUNTAIN, NEV.
Charlie Sucker, after a Brief Illness,
SuooOmbs to Bright's Disease.

News of the sudden death of Charlie
Sucker, at Battle Mountain, Nevada,
reached us recently. He had been ill but
a short time and his sudden death, which
occurred on the 9Th inst, was severe
shock to relatives and friends, few of the
latter having heard Of his illness.
Mr.. Sucker was the only surviving son
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. J. Sucker, pioneer
residents of Silver City, now highly re-
spected citizens of Nampa. He was born
in Silver City forty-three years ago last
December, and grew TO manhood in this
famous old camp. After finishing school
he learned the printing business in the
Avalanche office, which vocation he fol-
lowed for a number of years. From
childhood he was gifted with unusual
musical talent, and for many years the
inspiring music from his violin filed a
prominent part in the social life of the
Owyhee camps.
Seven or eight years ago be joined the
rush to the Nevada gold fields, and be-
came interested with other Nampa people
i'll property at Battle Mountain. Three
years have elapsed since his last visit
home, he having been at the mines CON
tinuously looking after his own and his
partners interests.
Meagre particulars are at hand concern
ing his last illness and death, which was
caused by acute Bright's disease. His
relatives had received word of his illness,
followed by advice of his Improvement.
Last week Monday his sister, Mrs Rich
ard L. Euler, accompanied by her hus-
band, left Nampa for his bedside, with
the intention of bringing him home as
soon as he was able to travel that he
might have the benefit of the Boise hospi-
tails during his conyalescence. His i'm
provement was but temporary, however,
and they failed to reach him in time for
even final farewell The remains will
be brought to Nampa for interment.
He is survived by his father and mother
and two sisters, Mrs. r. L. Euler, of
Nampa, and Mrs. G. R. Shaw, of Boise,
the latter now being at the saddened
home at Nampa.
Deceased was of happy, companions
able disposition, and enjoyed the love
and friendship of wide circle in the
Owyhee camps, as we'll as at Nampa and
Caldwell, all of whom will be panied to
hear Of his untimely death, and who will
deeply sympathize with his relatives in
their severe loss.

The numerous rich strikes made in
the development work done on the min
ing properties in the Flint district dur
ing the past year, and the close saving
of the values in the ore by means of inn
proved concentrating tables, assure the
future of this district to be all that could
be desired by the men who have spent
years Of toll in developing their proper
ties. Ore carrying 5000 oz. of silver to
the ton mas been taken from some of the
mines in this locality, while veins of
over feet in width that carry values Of
1900 OF. of silver and $40 to $40 in gold
to the ton are no uncommon showings
made on several of the properties.

BOULDER.

The immense hodies of ore now being
developed on Boulder creek are attract
ing much attention. The natural adj
vantages of this camp in the way Of
water power, location and plenty of good
timber with good climate, are attractions
that withdraw investors to this vicinity.
The ore bodies are in veins of unusual
size and require no deep tunnels to de-
yelop them as it presents more the APP
pearance Of an ore quarry, where hum
dreds Of tons per day can be furnished
to mills for reduction at the lowest cost,
the values running from So to 500 per
ton.
This is an ideal location for power
plant which would find ready demand
for furnishing power to the surrounding

The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1910-02-17

On Florida Mountain is located this
well known property which has been in
process of development for some time
and on which some excellent bodies of
ore have been encountered in the upper
workings. The Banner mine is well
equipped with electric power, air com
pressor and a good stamp Nissen mill
A tunnel on the mill level, 1900 feet in
length, has been run to intersect the
lodges on the property and has crosscut
5 veins, all of which show values suffi-
cient to warrant further development.
On the Banner vein, cut by said tunnel
at 100 it,, a drift is being run to the
north to cut, on this level, the ore bodies
encountered in the upper works. This
drift is now in 440 feet from the tunnel
and is being pushed ahead as rapidly as
possible by two shifts of miners. The
ore in the vein has improved wonderful
ly as the drift progresses and some ex
cellent ore was shown us that was taken
out of the vein in the face OF this drift.
1t is the impression, even by the most
skeptical, that body of rich ore has
been encountered. The mine and mill
is well equipped with up-to-date appli-
ances and is destined to become one of
our producing mines in thenear future.

On this property there will be much
work done during this year, as English
capital has been secured to thoroughly
develop the property and put it in a way
for the practical mining OF the rich ore
that is known to exist in the several
veins on the ground owned by this COM
pany.

SOUTH MOUNTAIN

A few miles to the south are the mines
on South Mountain which have been
worked in limited way, and are only
waiting for transportation facilities to
be great producers. The mines are
known to be very rich in copper, gold
and silver, and when fully developed the
old camp of South Mountain viii become
successful rival Of Butte City, Montana.
The excellent prospects Of the early con-
struction OF railroad from Bull to
Coos Bay through this immediate sec
tion down Boulder and Jordan creeks is
very favorable and will furnish the
transportation facilities that has been
needed in this locality for so long. The
Owyhee mines are surely coming to the
front and Carson Mining district, so
long famous for rich ore will become the
most noted of mining section in Idaho.

Another company Of unlimited means
is the Stormy Hill Co., Of Utica N. Y,
that will expend large amount of
money on their property this year, and,
as the work formerly done on the prop
erty demonstrated beyond all doubt that
they had large deposits of rich ore, and
that the veins OH their ground were a
continuation of the rich ledges formerly
worked on War Eagle, which are now
owned by the Sinker Tunnel Co., they
will soon have an extensive and rich
mine.
This property is located on the south
end Of War Eagle Mt, on what is known
as Stormy Hill.

INDICATIONS OF A EBRICHT FUTURE
MINES OF OWYHEE COUNTY STEADILY COMING TO THE FRONT
Slight Review the Development Work Now Going on in Different
Parts of the County Many Properties Which Have Been Idle For
Years to Begin Active Operation This Season Millions
Of Dollars to be Expended in Development Work

Preparations are being made by a
number of mining com mpanies to do a
large amount of development work on
their properties in this mining district
as soon as the spring opens sufficiently
to install machinery and get supplies to
the mines. These companies have been
getting their business affairs in shape to
prosecute the work ON an extensive scale
and will each employ as many men as
possible during the coming season.
Several new companies have been or
ganized and most Of those who suspend
ed operations during the panic have re-.
cuperated their finances sufficiently to
again renew the development work on
their promising properties.
The Gold Crown Mining Co.
This is a Denver Colo, company, who
have valuable properties on the north
side Of War Eagle Mountain, the prin-
ciple claim of which is known as the
Imperial. Authentic information has
been received stating that $4,000 will
be expended during the coming summer
on this property in development work.
This properly has not been worked for
several years, but considerable work
had been done by shaft and tunnel and
some very valuable ore uncovered. The
management of the property will prob

rich vein runs through the property and
that large bodies Of very rich ore will be
encountered.
