From Henry Massam who has
been on the Salmon river for the
past week, it is learned that the

At the Lemhi bar they have
started piping, and have every
thing in frst-class shape.
Prescott and Thomas are TAX
ing out a ditch for their bar, and
will be ready to run in a few
days.
All those who own bars that
are suitable for ranching are now
busy putting in their seed, as
spring has come in that section.
Henry Hazlitt, of Dixie, is
building a new house on his bar
Mitt Haynie and Billy Robin
son have gone up the river to the
bar that Oscar Eakin wintered
on, as nothing has been heard Of
Eakin for sometime.
Mr.. Massam reports an abun.
dance of deer and elk on the
breaks, and that they are in fine
condition for this time of the
wear.

The Mineral Zone Shows
Some Glass;
CAN NOW TELL THE VALUES
The First Mill Run Has Been
CleanedAUp.

The final cleanup on the first
70 tons of ore from the Colonel
) Sellers claim of the Mineral Zone
group of claims owned by Mrs.
M. A. Parr, was made this week,
and while the actual returns
from the bullion produced has
not been received, enough bullion
has been shipped to be able to
tell what the fneness and the
value is.
The total gross tonnage was "a
tons, and as this was very wet,
the probable moisture would bel
from Is to 20 per cent, which
would leave the amount of ore
actually run at about 65 tons,
and on this basis the ore has
yielded about. $55 free, and has
produced ton of concentrate of
value of $3.50 per ton. The values
that were in the shines and tails
are at present not known, as no
returns have been received from
samples sent to be assayed, but.
they are known to be very high.
AS has been stated in the
Mining News, the magnitude of
this enormous large and rich
shoot of ore can hardly be real
lied by any one that has not
seen it. To take ore from vein
that isl ft. wide and take every
thing between walls, and millit
and get returns such as this mine
has produced is something that
is only found once in a life time,
and can not be looked for any
where else except in the Elk City
country. We have got it here
and can show it.
Aside from the vein being 7 ft.
between walls, it must be,taken
into consideration that the vein
has been stripped for distance
of 157 ft. and has been opened
by surface cuts for another 100
it,, and to the west end of the
cuts, where the richest ore has
been found there is no telling
how far it will extend when the
work now, contemplated will be
done. For the, next few weeks
it is not probable that any work
will be attempted, for the snow
is now going rapidly, and nothing
will be done until the ground is
bare, so that the prospecting can
be carried on in an intelligent
manner.
In a few DAYS work will. be
commenced on the Enterprise
claim, which is the east extension
of the Colonel Sellers, and is or
the American river side of the
ridge. The vein can easily be
picked up here in fact there has
been some work done there
Besides this work, the Other
claims in the group will be pros
pected, as it is known other veins
run through the ground. Or
the American river is, fine mil
site, and water power can, b,
developed that will run large

To Save Money.

Mark Twain's rules for saving money
when one was tempted to part with
some of hisY' treasure were simple.
Here they are:
To save half when you are fired by
an eager impulse to contribute to a
charity, wait,and count forty. To save
thIee-quarters count sixty. To save
It all count sixty-five.

verse in consideration of no ad-
verse being made, are sound and
valid as between two claimants
for lode claims. An agreement
to deed a claimed lode within the
limits of placer for which pat
ent had been asked, would raise
such question as to the good faith
of the placer applicant, in that
he thereby recognized the lode
in question, as probably to re-
quire exclusion of the lode
ground from the placer applica-.
ton, or, in view of the difference
in price Of placer and lode ground
to afford basis for vitiating the
patent on the basis of fraud.
The law with regard to known
lodes in placers has not been en-
tirely tested in the courts, as re-
CARDS discovery before patent,
and the good faith of the appli-
cant for placer patent would lie
especially important.
Assessment work to the value
of $1O0 is required by the federal
statute within each calendar
year succeeding location. Vari-
ous state statutes require specific
forms of location notices and the
filing for record of a loce ton
notice within a specific time after
location. Whether, in event of
a location having been made in
December 1910, for example,
and the location notice being
filed in the succeeding January,
annual work would be necessary
in 1911, seems never to have
been decided. Apparently such
work would be necessary, since
the. federal statutes do not re-
quire filing of the notice, and
therefore, so far as the require,
ments of the United States are
concerned, the location was com.
plete in December. Certainly
this would be the Interpretation
called for by the spirit of the
law. The intent of the latter is
that anyone holding a minera
claim on public land should dc
work, at least to the value Of
$100 per year, in an effort tt
demonstrate it's value.
