RICH STRIKE AT BELLEVUE

Prospeclors have forsaken the pectur-
esque and romantic ''jack" of Bret Hart
tame for the automobile in this state.
according TO Joseph Cloud, ranchman
from Bellevue, who yesterday said that
one of most remarkable gold and silver
strikes ever made in Idaho was recorded
last Friday afternoon at Lookout noun
tain, and it is said that there were $50
claims staked out by Saturday night
The strike was made by ditch worker
on the ranch Of DR. Allen of Bellevue,
according to Cloud, about O'Clock Fri
day afternoon, and two hours later there
were IA automobiles on the ground and
40 claims had been staked. "On a con-
servative estimate there must be fully
200 claims in the Lookout mountain conn
try by this time" said Cloud. The
assays which have been made show the
ore runs high IN both gold and silver.
''The first strike was made about two
years ago on the mountain, but there
was no indication Of any extensive find,
and after being worked out the property
was abandoned.
Last Friday afternoon the man EN-
ployed on DIR. Aliens place unearthed
some ore in a ditch which he was digg.
ing on Lookout mountain. He informed
DR.. Allen, who in turn took the ore to an
assay office. where the value of the or,
was established.
The information travelled about tn,
country, and in short time severa
automobiles started for the mountain
which is located but a mile and a hal
from Bellevue. People left by carriag,
and on foot,and by Saturday night ther,
were 15O claims staked out around tn,
hill.

NEW STRIKE IN ALASKA

From Fairbanks, Alaska on June 4. a
gold strike is reported to have been
made on Indian creek, tributary of
Koyo river, 800 miles up that stream.
Pay has been struck in two places. A
large area is being prospected. Miners
are stsmpeding to that section.
Gold has also been struck ON Long
creek, on the south side of the Yukon
opposite Melosie. The dirt yields up to
l5 cents to the pan. An English syndi-
cate has purchased dredge at Dawson
and will ship it Immediately to operate
ON Fairbanks creek. The big syndicate
that has absorbed the Klondyke country
has taken options on several strikes there
and is prospecting with a view to dredg-
ing the ground which lie no longer rich
enough for hand operations.

SILVER CITY IS ENJOYING
MUCH PROSPERITY NOW

The great increase this week in the
size OF the crowds on the streets and at
the Idaho hotel gives the town more Of
an old-time appearance than it has
shown for many years and encourages
the belief that the long expected boom
is certainty. All the dining room
space is being utilized and extra help
has been put on at the hotel to accomo-
date the crowds. Nineteen passengers
came in on Mondays stage.
Business men who for several years
have been running with as little ex-
pense as possible are now making i'm
provements and adding to their stock
of goods. There are more inquiries
concerning vacant houses than have
been made for years.
There is less inclination among mining
men to boast OF their showings and
more of tendency to settle down strict
ly to business and let the results speak
for themselves.
The Banner mill will start this week
and when they make their first run,
the doubling Thomases'' will be con-
vinced that we have another great
producer
The Silver City Mining Co. formerly
known as the Berg property is now
working two shifts aud will, inside of a
month, tap the first ledge that in former
times yielded rich returns.
Rich ore is being taken from the
Never Sweat" property on War Eagle
mountain and it is hoped that the show
ings made here will induce some
capitalist to develop this mountain 10
greater depth than it has been
heretofore.

The Heela Mining Co., at Wallace
has awarded its smelling contract to
the International Smelling & Refining
Co., of Salt Lake. This Company has
only recently entered the lead smelling
field, and its plant will not be in opera
tion until next September. Representa-
tives of four other smelling companies
were there to bid on the Hecla ore,
which is produced at the rate of 1000
tons per month.

PROSPECTORS
ARE IN DEMAND
Denver Business Men Raise Fund
TO Grub Stalks Prospectors
in Colorado

The prospector is commonly pictured
as lowly person, but he is also pro-
claimed as a hero, like all other
explorers When he is missed he is
most appreciated, for it is well ack-
nowledged fact that the civilization OF
the mineral regions owes its raise to
his hardy efforts. The work which the
prospector does is not a work in which
capitalists directly participate or often
indirectly support Grub stakes are
usually provided by men of moderate
incomes and more or less intimate as-
sociation with mining enterprises.
Mines must be raised up to the point
where large capital takes hold of them.
The very foundation of the mineral in
dustry is cut away when the prospector
disappears.
A somewhat unusual tribute is paid
to the prospector by a movement in
Denver to establish public grub stake
fund, to be raised in recognition Of the
need of more Of this class of work in
Colorado. In recent years many of the
old-time prospectors who have traversed
the hills Of Colorado have gone to
Nevada, Idaho and other western states,
while we hear of Western men following
the lure Of gold in the new fields OF
northern Ontario. The hardy gold hunter
may take some pride in the circumstances
that the business men Of state give
evidence Of wanting to keep him at
home. In behalf Of Colorado, which for
some time has been hoping for the dis
covery of new district in the class
with Leadville, Cripple Creek and
Aspen, the Denver Republican has
started a subscription list to equip a
number of experienced prospectors dur
ing the present season. Under the plan
proposed score or more Of individuals
may be put into the field for the next
few months. The experiment seems
well worth trying.-Mining Science.

Company.

Ell oro mill is yielding about 81, 600
worth of gold amalgam per week. The
mill has been in commission on full time
some weeks. On picked ore the mill
yielded $4,000 in Y hours. James Nc
Pherson Of Heiley is the superintendent.
Expenses are $500 week, and cyanide
tanks will increase the output.

DEEPEST MINING
TUNNEL KNOWN
Driven by q Company OF Boiseises
in Boulder Canyon
Near HALEY

From the Wood River Times
The deepest mining tunnel in the world
is being driven in group of % claims on
Boulder creek. about 25 miles north Of
Haley, up the Wood River.
This tunnel will, when completed, be
only 1900 feet in length, yet it viii tap
the veins in the % claims at a depth Of
1912 feet from the surface, according to
the measurements Of the United States
Geological survey.
1t is now 800 feet, and it has been five
years in driving. Two machine drills
are used, and two shifts are working
The rock isexceedingly hard-the hardest,
the miners say, that they ever worked in.
The rate Of progression averages less than
one foot per day, and unusual care is ex-
ercised to keep the holes from splitting.
The rock is not blasted by the powder, it
is burnt
William Schultz, the superintendent,
has owned all or part Of the claims for 81
years. During that time he has worked
there from one years end to another.
He located the claims in 1880, with a
partner whom he bought out. Later on
he had other partners but bought them
all with the net proceeds of the ore.
He has developed one or two or three
lodges upon the claims, and has extracted
high grade ore from all Of them. He has
thus made his living for 81 years, and
raised his family. Most Of the time Mrs.
Schultz lived there with him, in the sky,
almost, as boulder peak shoots into the
heavens to an elevation Of L, ,OO2 feet and
it is the highest peak in Idaho excepting
Hyndman, that tops it by AS feet
Sometimes Mrs. Schultz would not see
woman for six or eight months. She
would be shut in there with 10, 20, 80
feet Of snow all around the place. Finally
a few years ago the children had to be
schooled, SO she moved to Ketchum where
she lived until couple of years ago, when
she moved down to Haley to give her
children the benefit of our high school,
The tunnel is believed to be within 10
feet Of the first of the lodges, and Mr..
Schultz expects that by August he win be
in ore. Then he viii build mill, board
ing and lodging houses and lay out a
town for a large population. Indeed, Mr..
Schultz believes that HALEY will soon
not amount to much compared with
Boulder town, as he firmly believes that
he is going to show up some Of the great
est mines in the world.
About six years ago, when be conclud-
to drive his deep tunnel, Mr.. Schultz
organized compsny to finance the pro-
position. That company is composed Of
Colonel M. w. Wood, John Lemp and
Leo ]. Falk of Boise, and it is illcorpora-
ted as the Boulder Consolidated Mining
Company.

HALLIDAY SESSION
FINDS THE MARKET
EXCEEDINGLY DULL
Trading Nearly at a Stand
still, Though Prices Re-
main Very Firm.

NEW YORK, July S.-The half ses-
sion of the stock market today was
but a continuation Of that Of the past
few days. While the temperature was
more bearable, the absence of many
traders, driven out of town by the
excessive heat, left only a comparative
ly small delegation to carry on the
business of the morning.
Under the circumstances no great
change in prices was to be expected,
and the market for the most part hung
around the level of yesterday. A few
issues showed some strength. Canadian
Pacific, for example, opened a point
and a half higher than yesterdays
close, remaining pretty firmly to that
level through the session, suffering only
fractional recessions from time to time.
Reading opened three-eighths higher,
sold back to last nights close and ad-
vanced to 159.
The industrial shares, as has been
the case for several days, showed less
fluctuation than the rails. Steel how
cred around 70 all the morning, clos
ing at about that figure. Smelters
showed change of less than a half a
point. Copper was as dead as the others.
At the close the market was firm,
business very dull, and conditions faV-
orable for activity during the com
week, If some unfavorable circum-
stance does not arise to throw the
market into a waiting attitude again.
