SOME BIG MINES
IN SOUTH IDAHO
ELK CITY PROPERTIES LOOK
GOOD TO IDAHO MEN,
BIG VEINS.
(Grangeville Globe)

w. N. Robinson and Judge Henry
S. Hazlett. who are out from the Dixie
country, bring in encouraging reports
all along the line, but are especially
enthusiastic over the Black Pine, Col
onel Sellers and other Elk City pro-
perties. They say there is a spirit of
enterprise and optimism throughout
the central Idaho mining districts not
known before in, many years. The
new strikes made in the mines and
the projected South Fork road is ac-
countable for some Of the new spirit,
but in addition there Is an undercur-
rent Of feeling that central Idaho
mines have seen their worst days, and
this Is justified in the fact that there
are number of matters moving
which are not yet ready for announce
ment that will mean much to this sec
ton. In speaking Of the Black Pine
Mr.. Robinson said:
1.-The Black Pine Is a remarkable
property, and in the president anc
general manager, H. B. Supplee, is
found just the man to push the prop
erty rapidly to a place among the big
mines of the country. Mr.. Supplee is
backed by the energy, the enterprise
and the capital, all of which are essen
tial in the development of great min
ing property or a great enterprise of
any kind. He is at present working 20
men on the Black Pine. In the upper
tunnel where the vein was first ex-
posed, they have drifted on the ore
shoot for IS feet. The vein has now
widened to II feet and the values are
just as good as in the face of the drift
where first exposed. The showing is
such we'll known mining
men as Engineers McNutt and Nc
Gregor pronouncing it the best show
ing from present indications ever I'M
covered in the district. The mill is
now being placed in shape for work,
and the new bunk house will be COM
pleted within the next ten days"
Mrs. PARIS Colonel Sellers Great.
1.-THE Mrs. Parr property known as
the Colonel Sellers, is going to be one
Of the big mines Of the northwest, the
mill tests of the ore from the 100-foot
level during the past winter having
proven that beyond doubt. The vein
On the 1O0-foot level has widened to
10 feet, and carries feet Of fine mill
Ing ore. If there is any one person in
the central Idaho mining district who
Is deserving Of special credit for per-
,istent and continued effort in the face
If what appeared as almost insur-
mountable obstacles, it is Mrs. NJ. A.
Parr, the we'll known and we'll liked |
proprietor Of the Parr hotel. She has |
gone ahead under conditions most dis
and developed the Colonel |
Sellers from an uncertain prospect to
, real mine which is going to be one
If the big producers in the near fu-
ure.
1.-THE Frank Peck property in Oro-
,rande Is showing up some high grade
,re," continued Mr.. Robinson, that is
| revelation to the natives. and the
act that the vein Is some 6 or Z feet |
between walls, spells a bright outlook
n the Orogrande section. The state
nent Is made that the Hogan property

Judge Henry s. Hazlett brought
own some samples Of ore from his
one mile southwest from
Dixie, known as the Ironside. which
ooks good. Mr. Hazlett says there is a
1875 to $500.
