Mill Running Steadily on
Good Ore.
SOME PROSPECT ON SAME VEIN
Idaho King Has Good Strong
Vein.

At the South Fork the mill is
running steadily, with a good
supply of water. The mine is
looking healthy and they have
considerable ore blocked out.
There has been no new develop
ment recently, and work in the
lower tunnel has been stopped.
At the present time work is
being pushed on a pipe line from
a gulch west of the mine that
will give them a good supply of
water. The pipe line will be
nearly a mile and a half in length
and it is expected to develop
enough water to run the mill for
several months in the spring.
At present they have % men on
the pay roll.
The Denver Group.
The Denver group of two
claims, lies on the north end and
is an extension of the South Fork
and is owned by Mike Bagley
who is now at work doing devel-
opment. On the Denver No.
there is a 70 ft. tunnel driven or
a 4 ft. vein of good ore, that
pans we'll. There are numerous
open cuts along the course of the
vein, but as yet there has beer
no extensive ore shoots opened

Prospects Seen on Days
Inspection
HAVE SOME GOOD SHOWINGS
Prospectors Getting Busy for
Seasons Work.

The Dixie mining district which
is now taking on a new lease of
life, and where it is expected
that considerable development
work will be carried on this sea-
son, was visited by Mining
News reporter last week, with a
view of gathering data to put
into a series of general articles
that will be published from week
to week in regard to the work
that is being done there. AS it
is an assured fact that the Gil
more & Pittsburg railroad will be
built down the Salmon in the
near futue, Dixie will be one of
the camps in Central Idaho to be
benefited, and being so close to
the proposed route, it has given
the claim owners a new incentive
and they are going ahead open
ing up old locations and the COM
panies are getting busy.
1t is not the intention to write
these articles with a view tC
making any misstatements, but
to state just what a mining mar
will find when he visits the camp
to see for himself.
The LO LO Group.
The Lo Lo group of sever
claims is three miles northwest
of Dixie, at the head of Big
Nugget gulch, and is owned by
Don A. Durpee and sons. The
development work consists of {

of 65 it., and will gain som

THE Tiwaka.
This property is owned by Rory
Burke and F. M. Kinds, and is
about a mile northwest of Dixie.
The development consists of a
100 ft. cross-cut tunnel and 80
ft. drift on the vein, with a raise
to the surface. The vein ex-
posed in the tunnel is about 20
ft. wide, with pay streak of
five feet of high grade ore aver
aging better than $50. There
was a mill put on this property
some time ago but was not suited
for the character of ore and was
not run long enough to deter

and 1t is to be we'll seen to that they
have generally splendid time after

Mardi Gras, always of social in
terest, will be the occasion for much
hospitality this year upon the part OF
Pensacola people, for beside the house
guests who will fill the homes OF
the best known people, the hotels
will also be filled with visitors who
at the present stage Of Pensacola

MRS. MONROE ElkAN
ENTERTAINED THE
VISITING LADIES'.

The visiting young ladies were ac'
corded one of the loveliest compli'
menst yesterday which has so far
marked their stay in Pensacola. when
Mrs. Monroe Elkan entertained for
them in the private dining rooms
on the mezzanine floor Of the San
Carlos hotel.
This ideal place for entertaining
had been arranged very artistically
for the occasion, pink being the pre-.
dominating color.
Handsome cut glass vases held pink
showered bouquets of roses, carnations
and ferns, and tiny pink baskets OF
dainty pink candies were discovered
at each place. The pink place cards
were quaint little damsels in cos
TUNES of the prevailing shade and
pink satin ribbon bows were arranged
here and there with pretty effect.
During the afternoon euchre was in
order, and at five O'Clock course
luncheon was served.
Mrs. Elkan, who understands the
art of clever entertaining perfectly,
succeeded in giving the visiting ladies
one of the daintiest and most delight
full afternoons possible. This is her
first affair to be given since her re-
turn from the north.
