Philadelphia Interests Acquire
Valuable Property-Seek
Other Mines.
$l75,OOO.OO in DEAL
New Process of Treating Ores
Makes Idaho Mines At
tractive to Capital.

The news reported yesterday from
the Elk City district to the effect that
much activity in mining operations
Is being experienced and there is as
surance of important Developments
during the season is supported by a
report received from outside sources
which indicates heavy investments by
Philadelphia capital in the central
Idaho properties.
1t Is stated the Philadelphia inter-
ests are now closing the deal for one
or the properties on the South Fork
Tor $4,000 and the announcement
or the sale and the plans for operat-
ing the property will be made at an
early date. 1t is stated these same
interests have acquired other prop
critics in the Elk City district and are
investigating promising properties i'm
other central Idaho camps. 1t is
stated there Is no limit to the amount
the Philadelphia people will invest
when the proper showing are made
and the best mining engineers have
been sent into the country to investi-
gate and report on properties
1t is explained that a new process
for treating ores will make possible
the successful operation of any Of the
central Idaho properties where rea-
sonable values are carried. Isolation
from transportation has made inn
practical the operation in the central
Idaho districts but this handicap is
removed by the Philadelphia COM
pany.
1T Is safe prediction that there
will be greater activity In the central
Idaho mining camps within the next
year than has ever before been
KNOWN" said Lewiston mining man
yesterday who is in touch with the
Philadelphia interests 1T would
seem that the camps that have been
practically idle for the past several
years are soon to come into their own
again and operations ON an extensive
scale will be renewed.
"fhe new process of treating ores
makes possible the profitable opera
tion of any property of merit There
are many such properties in the CEN
tral Idaho camps and we are fortu-
nate in that the Philadelphia people
have interested themselves in this Sec
tion. As | understand 1t, number
OF properties have already been ac-
quired and the total investment is
close to half million dollars. The
mining engineers are making further
| investigations and it is very probable
that further investments will be
made. The statement is made that
the properties acquired will be oper-
| ated on an extensive scale and that
large numbers of miners will be
brought into the central Idaho camps
Defore the close of the season"
