Peports From County Over
Very Encouraging
TEN MILE RUSH CONTINUES
Experts Say Elk Mines Free
Milling

Good news from the mines continues
and there is every indication of more
than ordinary activity in the mineral
section of Idaho county this season.
H. c. Ellis, who came out from the
Ten Mile country last week in an in
terview with the writer spoke as fol
lows:
Regarding the Ten Mile country,
will say it looks very prosperous in
deed. The Guennette hotel is doing a
land office business and it reminds one
Of a rush at land opening more than
anything else. Mr.. Guennette has
decided to build additional sleeping
apartments. His hotel is located on
some mighty rich mineral ground and
he makes money from the surface as
we'll as taking gold from underneath.
Over twenty tents Of prospectors have
been pitched in the vicinity of the
hotel.
"Guennette owns group of claims
known as Ten Mile No. l, 2, and 3
and has recently uncovered some very
rich rock the same showing free gold
which can be seen with the naked eye.
A fourteen pound sample of the rock
is now on exhibition at the CONNER
cial club rooms in this city and is ex-
citing the admiration of those who
have seen it.
another rich claim is the location
made BY Claude Green a month ago
and in speaking Of excellent showing
the Big Chief group located by Dick
Hanan, Jack Flanagan and Ben Ettle-
son is not to be overlooked. Ellis a.
Clapp have located what they call
the Anerley group and have some
very rich rock.
"The Lone Yellow Pine, the Har-
mon and Morrow property, which
gave the camp such boost, is being
developed by force of twelve
men BY the Bradley syndicate who
have the property under bond.
These people will soon begin the con
structlon of wagon road from the
Mt House to the camp, thus afording
much easier way to get in supplies.
"Ihe Gilt Edge, under the able
management Of Mr. Derrig of Grange
vile, has full force of men employed
rushing development work. Recently
cable bucket has been installed to
carry the ore from the shaft to the
uump' There is quite a quantity of
good ore now on the dump.
"lhe Buckhorn, which is owned by
,aptlan Samples and L. r. kellogg, is
rushing development work and here
