Tents are going up, few are bringing
boards to help out the canvas and make
things little more comfortable. Ed
Dozier is building new restaurant 20x5O
feet adjoining his present log and tent
house.
/ w. B. Wolfe Of Twin Falls, the well
known chef and hotel man, has leased
the two lots of Cameron Bros, just north
Of the postofice and has gone out to get
lumber to put up a frst-class two-story
hetel
A blacksmith arrived few days ago
with complete outfit. He has put mp
shop at the south end of town. Con-
siderable work is being done along Main
Street by the residents, grading the street
and the front of their lots.
Dr. H. +. Colby has been appointed
health officer by the county commissioners
and has started cleaning up crusade not
only in town but all the way up the
river.
The trail up the river has been fixed up
and new foot bridges putacross the stream
with hand rails to them.
Work on the road from Deeth is being
pushed with forty men and fourteen
teams. They expect to be in town with
it by the middle ofJune
Work on the telephone line has been
begun and win be pushed as fast as
possible
Lige Fletcher and R. S. Silver have
taken lease on the new strike made by
them on the Reliance claim of the North
Star propeaty opposite the Fisher lease on
the North Star vein. They have traced
the vein for several hundred feet up the
the side of the hill and nearly to the Ell
more claim on the ridge. They have
stripped the ledge in one place twenty
feet long and twelve wide and rock from
part of it will show colors in the pan and
they are very much elated over the pros
poets. This vein seems from present
developments to be a parallel vein to the
North Star and Bourne and about 300 feet
east of the former. The finding of good
values in the veins on this ridge will
probably enable them to locate the vein
on the Jarbidge Gold Co. S ground which
is just north of their lease on which they
have been prospecting all winter, and
where they have found considerable gold
in the surface dirt.
The law suit over the Bluster ground
seems to be settled by the last decision oi
the court and it seems probable that q
deal will soon be made at large figure
Two engineers have been sent in here tC
examine this property, which is one O
the most valuable in the camp. One O
these Engineers was sent in by one of th,
largest and most successful operators il
the state and the other represented strong
New York capitalists With fourteen fee
of better than $50 ore in sight there il
little question that this property will soor
be in the hands Of strong company.
The BEETLES strike on the Mowhal
claims near the head of Bear creek look
more promising every day, an averag
sample of five feet of quartz gas assay
returns of s7,2O, which is remarkabl,
good for surface ore. The daily sample
give returns of $4,OO to $1,000 per ton
This find considerably enlarges theprovei
area of the camp and it further prove
that the values extend west across th
river and gives added value to all th
; Bear creek section of camp.
On the @. & G. lease the cross-cut hs
reached the Boylan vein and good par
nings are being obtained. The Jarbidg'
Ely just east of the O. & @. are pushin
8 ahead with their tunnel with indication
e of another vein at hand.-Twin Fal
