The Globe stated last week
that Nj. l.. Derrig, manager of
the Gilt Edge property, and Buell.
Jarrett and Nj. Williams had
gone into the Ten Mile district
on tour of inspection which
meant much to this section which
the country. The gentlemen re-
turned last Saturday to Grange
vile with decidedly favorable
report on the property inspected
the Local Option Group, known
as Local Option Nos. / and 2,
and the Blue Boy Nos. l, 2,and 3,
owned by King & York, and as
a result of this report, which is
much more favorable than the
claims made for the property by
those from whom it will be talk
EN- over, a number of prominent
Grangeville citizens have put up
the capital for the development
of this valuable property, and
work, which has already been
commenced, will be pushed for
all there is in it. This property
has been under favorable con
sideration by a number of con-
sistent, capable mining men, ever
since it came prominently before
the public last spring at the time
of finding the mammoth lead
which panned clear across it,
over twenty feet, and this has
finally eliminated in the present
substantial arrangements for the
: exploitation of the property. In
an interview with the Globe re-
porter on the recent trip of in
spection, Mr.. Derrig said:
1.-THE Gilt Edge, Coeur d'Alene
/ and Local Option properties were
) visited. Inspection made verifies
the most favorable reports pub
liShed concerning these proper
| ties. The ore shoot recently pick
{ ed up by Dan Bennett on the
Gilt Edge; the extraordinary
G showing on the Coeur d'Alene,
l where at depth of 400 feet,
: an ore shoot averaging all of
] five feet in width and panning
n in a most satisfactory manner,
:. has been drifted on for 165 feet
e with no visible sign of break,
t would alone in many instances
v attract wide spreading interest
: to the camp. Add to these, how
n ever, the more recent strike made
|. on the Harmon-M Morrow proper
5, ty, where in their lower tunnel,
d the owners have cut into the lead
zs proving it fully four feet in
Y width where cut through, and of
o exceptionally high value; the
A. showings Mr.. Hans Rice now has
4 on the wonder property in his
500 foot tunnel; the showings on
,. the Buckhorn, on which a lower
tunnel has been started to cut
= the lead at still greater depth
10 and the showings ON the Frank
If lin where the owners have pick
,e ed up the Buckhorn lead, togeth
70 er with the rich showings made
20 on large number of other pro
ar perties, and the visitor will read
,r lily conclude that we have in tn,
f. Ten mile camp-from 30 to 81
N miles from Grangeville-one o.
,r the best and richest mining camp
in the country. There will be al
awakening to the situation er
long, this is certain. Lack O
"A railway transportation will no
of deter capitalists from entering
On this camp, for IN this instanc

values considerable above tn
of cost of operations.
~ Great credit is due to the pro
