Mining in OWyhee Co.

The mining industry in Owyhee County
has during the past year been very dull
but the indications are that the coming
season will witness to some extent re-
sumption of activities. Several proper
ties that have been lying dormant have
changed owners and the new manage
ment intends to push development work
as soon as the weather opens up sufficient
ly to permit.
The Banner, Rich Gulch and Silver
City properties are rapidly approaching
stage of development which, it is ex-
pected, will justify the large outlay of
the past year.
A number Of promising prospects are
awaiting further development for which
capital has been provided and others, of
value equally certain, are looking for the
necessary capital to develop into profit
able mines. Opportunities for the profit
able investment of capital are here with
out number with fairly certain results.
The agitation for heavier taxation of
the mining industry in Idaho has had
somewhat detrimental effect on the in-
dustry, but it is now evident that better
counsels will prevail In this connection
the remarks of Robert N. Bell, State In
spector of Mines, is pertinent. In his
last annual report, just published, which
by the way is a splendid reorganization
OF the industry in the state, be says
In the proposed adjustment of tax
laws | would respectfully suggest the
unwiseness of embarrassing the mining
industry with any further obligations
than 1t is now called upon to bear AS
matter OF fact there are less than
dozen dividend paying mines in the state
and several hundred operations that are
running entirely in the hope of develop
ing a paying property. Before any
radical change is made over the present
system would urgently suggest that the
most competent mining interests of the
state be given full hearing on the sub
ject."
Below we have endeavored to give a
correct and unvarnished account of the
different properties now in operation or
capable of development, quoting also the
opinion OF the State Mining Inspector in
each case.
Rich GuIch Mining Company
The properties of the Rich Gulch Min
ing Company are located near Silver
City on the west slope Of Florida Noun
tain. The property consists of l3 claims
in addition to the necessary mill site, etc
The property has been in continuous
operation since the organization of the
company January Is, 1905.
The equipment consists of the neces-
sary electric transformers, motors, air
compressors and air driven machine
drills and steel sharpeners and is operat-
ed by electric power supplied by the
Swan Falls power plant on Snake River.
1t possesses all the necessary buildings,
such as transformer house, compressor
building, shop, boarding house, office,
store room, wagon sheds, stables, dwell
ing, etc,
The mine has been developed hy about
5000 feet of drifts, eross-cuts, tunnels.
etc. The main or working tunnel on
the 1000 foot level is now in 2700 feet
and it is expected that the vein will now
be cut at any time.
The ore bodies are large medium grade

gold and silver values of this district,
the gold predominating.
The company is also installing. a re-
duction plant Of 100 tons daily capacity,
the building for which is completed and
the machinery and equipment practically
all on the ground. The machinery is
now being installed and the company is
now crowding the work on both mine
and mill as fast as possible. The man
agement expects to have the mine on a
producing basis during. the spring months
of this year.
The property is splendidly managed
in the hands of A. F. Stevens, general
manager, and VIM. Williams, the latter
being the superintendent.
of this property the State Mining In
spector says:
This company owns an interesting
group of claims on Rich Gulch, about
mile west of the Banner Mine. Their
mineral deposits, of considerable size
and attractive appearance, are said to
contain good milling values in gold and
silver and are being developed at consider
able depth by long cross-cut tunnel to
be 1000 feet long when completed. The
has recently started the
erection of mill of considerable capacity
to treat its ores.
DeLAmar Mine
The mines at De Lamar are the support
of quite community. The operations
there are the most important in the
County. Under the local management
Of e. V. Oxford as Superintendent and
general manager, j. E, Mcdonnell as
assistant superintendent and A. R. Soth-
ern as mine foreman, the properties are
annually producing an immense amount
of ore.
Regarding these mines we cannot do
better than quote from the Mining In
spector's annual report. in which the
following account is given:
The center Of mining activity in Owy-
hee County is the DeLamar Mines,
about seven miles northwest of Silver
City. This property is owned by an
English corporation whose continued
operations at this point for a number of
years have always been looked upon as
one of the most responsible, fair and
mining institutions in the
State
The property produces gold and silver
from silicous milling ore, containing
small per cent Of complicated silver
minerals involving careful chemical
treatment. The upper horizons of the
mine were very rich and its total pro-
duction 10 date exceeds IS, 900, 900, but
the greatest profits from the bonanza
levels went to former owners, and its
continued activity for several years past
has depended on a character of ore that
has rapidly retrograded in value as depth
on the deposit was obtained, and for sew
eral years now the property has been
run for the benefit of the local
community which 1t supports, as very
little profit has resulted to the owners
in spite Of the large annual production
of the mine, which yearly amounts to
several hundred thousand dollars in gold
and silver.
This property is situated in a desert
range OF mountains, very sparsely
and long distance from rail-
way transportation over high divide,
involving a high cost of hauling the
necessary heavy supplies of fuel and

WALKED AS WELL
AS THE DOCTOR
Cure Of a Case of Rheumatism
That Did Not Yield to
Ordinary Remedies.

There are many remedies for rheu-
matism. Most OF them are considered
successful if they relieve the pain and
stiffness. That means a temporary
suppression OF the symptoms while the
disease remains in the blood to appear
again on the next rainy day.
In rheumatism the blood becomes
thin. Until it is made rich and red
again the rheumatism will prevail.
Strengthen the blood with DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and it will
throw of the rheumatic poison and the
disease is cured.

One striking fact which comes 10 the
surface in this study OF sugar consump-
ton I'm the United States is found in 4
comparison of production aud growth in
production of cane and of beet sugar re-
spectiyely While exact figures Of do
nestle production in 1911 have not Yet
been completed, the latest and best
available estimate puts the production
of beet sugar al 1895 million pounds AMI
that of cane sugar at ,e9 million pounds,
the production of beet sugar thus exceed
ing that of cane by more than 80.
Prior To 1907 the production Of beet sugar.
was never as great as that OF cane SUI
gar. IN 1907 the quantity Of beet sugar
produced was less than onc-third that OF
cane; in 1905 it nearly cqualed that Of
cane: in 1906 it exceeded that of cane,
and has continued greater each year
since that time, being in the year Just
ended as above indicated, more than
SOC in excess of the cane sugar pro-
duced.
The quantity of sugar brought from
Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines
has also increased greatly during the de-
cade, that from Hawaii having been IN
1901 but 60 million pounds, against 1876
million in the year Just ended; and from
Porto Rlco, 1863 million pounds in 1901
against G54 million In 1911 From the
philippine Islands the increase has been
especially rapid since the enactment of
the present tariff law which permits the
importation free of duty of limited guam
titles of Philippine sugar, aud rs re-
suit The quantity of sugar imported from
the Philippines in 1911 was TO- million
pounds against 2lS million in 1910 lbs

A Great Discovery
Certain ingredients That Really Pro-
mote Hair Growth When Properly
Combined

Resorcin is one Of the most effective
germ aestroyers ever discovered by
science, and in connection with Beta
Napthol, which is both germicidal and
antiseptic, a combination is formed
which destroys the germs which rob
the hair of its natural nourishment.
and also creates a clean, healthy con-
dition Of the scalp, which prevents the
development of new germs.
Pilocarpin, although not a coloring
matter or dye. is a well-known ingre
dent for restoring the hair to its nat
ural color, when the loss of hair has
been caused by a disease of the scalp.
These ingredients in proper combi
nation, with alcohol added as a slim

most effective remedy that is known
for scalp and hair troubles.
