: Dave Farmer came in from
t Meridian, Idaho, the fore part
, of last week, and has gone to
mining claims in the Seafoam
district, where he is working
!. his claims. The property is
, known as the Burns Mining Co. !,
7 and is located at Jcsephus Lake,
: and is owned by Meridian capit-
: alists. The mines were first dis
covered about eleven years ago,
but little work has been done on
them until recent years. They
are gold-silver properties, and
; carry good values. Recent as

t claim carries So3 in gold, while

these are not picked samples,
says Mr.. Farmer, but are the
average ore samples.
