Precious-metal ore deposits in
northwestern Custer county, Idaho,
are described by j. B. Umpleby, of
the United States geological survey,
in Bulletin $50, recently issued as
the result of a geologic reconnais-
sance in the Loon Creek, Yankee
Fork, and Bay Horse mining dis
tricts. The area includes several
promising ore deposits and a few
mines where a considerable tonnage
is blocked out, awaiting more ad-
vantageous transportation facilities.
The ore deposits comprise gold
placers and lodes carrying GOLDFISH
yer, gold-copper, silver-cOpper, and
lead-silver ores. In most of the de-
posts the ore is of excellent grade,
little of that which has been mined
affording a return of less than $50
to the ton and some of it $500 or
5000. Perhaps most of the produc-
ton of the area has come from ores
worth $50 to 500 to the ton.
Northwestern Custern county, ac
cording to Mr.. Umpleby, is certain
to produce large amounts of silver,
lead, copper and gold in the future,
if only from deposits of the Bay
Horse district are by NJ means ex-
hausted, and in some a considerable
tonnage is actually blocked out.
Many others are inadequately de-
veloped and much of the intermediate
territory is comparatively unprOs-
pected. In the Yankee Fork district
little ore is in sight, and any impor-
an future production from the
shoots now recognized is prOblema-
tic, but in a heavily timbered area
where such bonanza deposits have
been found there is ever the prob
ability of new discoveries. The Loon
Creek district contains gold placers
which will probably be worked in
the near future. In addition to these
there are gold-copper veins, one of
which has been explored to a depth
of 1000 feet, and throughout this
vein the ore has varied in value from
$25 to $50 to the ton with no evil
dence of impoverishment with depth.
The area of dolomitic limestone near
the head of Deer Creek is also
thought to be a promising field in
which to prospect for lead-silver de-
posits.
1t is highly probable that in a
rough country like northwestern
Custer county new deposits will be
found when mining again becomes
active. Whether such actively will
precede the advent of a railroad is
doubtful, for the larger properties
are held by companies which for
many years have shown no inclina-
tier - rob the known deposits. The
advent of a railroad, however, would
doubtless promote mining activity.
The area is one far more worthy
the attention of the prospector than
many which are being more ade-
auately explored. Few silver-lead
deposits show prominently at the
surface, not only because they are
slightly less resistant than the in
closing rocks but because the oxida-
ton products. cerargyrite and sand

PLANT WORKS SMOOTHLY

During the last week work on the
property of the Austin Dakota, south
of Austin, has been most satisfactory.
The new Cameron pump installed on
the o. X. incline handles the water
easily and it was lowered during the
week 20 feet, and only n hours
pumping being required each day.
The incline is now cleaned out and
timbered down to a depth of 1875
feet and the vein is improving all the
time, both in size and in values. On
the Double H north drift good ore
is being extracted some of it being
exceedingly rich.-Reese River Re-

COMSTOCK SUPfRINTENDENTS MAKE
REPORT OF PAST WEEKS DEVELOPMENT

At the Monte Cristo mine, there
was hoisted during the week, 667
cars of ore from the slopes and de-
velopment work. There was shipped
to the Mexican mill over the tramway
394 tons of ore, and there was treat
ed at the mill $40 tons of Monte
Cristo ore of an average assay value
of $S.42 per ton, 116 ton being
taken from the storage piles. The
mill ran "a per CEN of the time and
the apparent extraction was "a per
cent.
New pumping, drainage and ecov-
cry operations were carried on sue
cessfully at the joint Crown Point
and Belcher incline in Gold Hill the
past week. The water was lowered
33 feet for the week, and repairs
made to the incline. The water now
stands 16S feet below the 400 level
in the incline, and the 1900 level
vas reached early this morning. On
the 1900 level of the Belcher, las

timbered % feet; total length in good
repair SO feet.
At the Yellow Jacket, in the sur
face tunnel raise No. 8, 1873 cars of
ore were saved during the week of
1851 per ton. Repairs were made to
the shaft and incline.
On the 400 level OF the Crown
Point, repairs were made and tim
bers eased in north drift No. 2. Slope
No. 2 on this level is being bulk
headed and filed.
On the 120O-foot level of the Over
man mine the past week, the south

east drift was advanced 10 feet; to-
tai length 10 feet. The face shows
a mixture of clay, quartz and Por-

were erected or improved, and a
small output is reported from several
producers. In Mineral county impor-
tant new finds were reported in the
Pilot mountains, 10 miles east of
Nina, a considerable number of To-
cations were made, and development
work has been in progress. In Nye
county the Mercury company contin-
ued production near lone, though
with a decreased output, and the
Nevada Cinnabar company took over
the Shoshone properties and began
the erection of a 50-ton Scott fur
mace. Important development of ore
was reported from the Fahy-Nelson
prospect northeast of lone, and pros
pecting was done near Rhyolite. At
Bare mountain, near Beatty, produc-
ton was made from two properties
by the lotion furnace operated by the
Telluride Consolidated corporation.
In Texas the Chisos mine at Terlin-
qua, Brewster county, remained the
only producer in 1913, as it has been
for several years. The combined out
put of quicksilver in Arizona, Ne
vada and Texas for 1913 was 1926

1910 TASKS, valued at $3.50, 9O7,
from Nevada and Texas together in
1874 decrease of 255 TASKS and
of $22,37S for 1918.
Market and Prices
The market was reported unfa-
forable by many producers in 1918,
but others have stated that a demand
existed for all that could be supplied.
The average San Francisco domestic
price per flask of rs pounds is esti-
mated at $39.33, against $42.O5 in
1912, s46.01 in 1911, $46.51 in
1910, $45.45 in 1909, SALT in
1908, and $1,000 in 1907. The mar
ket value of the output was there
fore exceptionally low in 1918. There
appears to have been some fear that
the development of new deposits
would result in overproduction or
that fair domestic prices would bring
in heavy importations. From pres
ent knowledge of available quick
silver in the United States,
it seems unlikely that production
from new deposits will much more
than Offset the decline of older pro-
ducers. The tariff act of 1918
changed the rate of import duty
from Z cents a pound to 10 per cent
ad valCrem, and it also seems I'M
likely that the importation of quick

commercial value.
Imports and Exports
Exports of quicksilver from the
United States for the calendar year
are estimated, from the records Of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, of the department OF
commerce, at S2,442 pounds (1O99
flasks), valued at $41,722. In 1912
the exports were 23,2S3 pounds, val
ued at $13,360, and in 1911 they
were 21,S41 pounds, valued at $13,-
995. The imports entered for con-
sumption are estimated for 1913 at
152,375 pounds, valued at $66,943,
against S2,706 pounds, valued at
$4,000 in 1912, and 471,944
pounds, valued at $521,3S6 in 1911.
The greater part of the imports for
1913 were received in the last half
of the year, and the above estimates
mar prove too high, as exact records
are available for only the first nine
months of the year..

WEIRD DREAM STORY.

The Startling Vision That Saved the
Life Of Lady Vernon.
The following dream story is told in
THE Story of My Life" by Augustus
J. G. Hare. The story was told to Mr.
Hare in Rome in 1870:
Lady Vernon dreamed that she saw
the butler. with a knife in one hand
and candle in the other, crossing the
entrance hall, and she awoke with a
great start. After awhile she COM
posed herself to sleep again. and she
dreamed-she dreamed that she saw
the butler, with knife in one hand
and a candle In the other on the mid.
die Of the staircase. and she awoke
with a great shock. She got up. She
thought she could not be quite we'll,
and she took little sal volatile. At
last she fell asleep again. and she
dreamed-she dreamed that she saw
the butler, with a knife in one hand
and candle in the other. standing at
her bedroom door. and she awoke in a
great terror, and she jumped cut Of
bed, and she said. TIL have an end Of
this; I'll have an end Of these foolish
imaginations.'
"And she rushed to the door and
threw It wide open. And there Just
outside stood the butler. with a knife
in one hand and candle in the other.
And when he suddenly saw Lady Yer.
non in her white nightdress. with her
hair streaming down her back. he was
SO dreadfully frightened that he
dropped the candle on the floor and
rushed of down the staircase and of
to the stables. where there was horse
ready saddled and bridled. on which
he meant to have ridden away when
he had murdered Lady Vernon. And
he rode away without having murdered
her at all, and he was never heard Of
again."
