Idaho" says Mr.. Bell, "is the most
thoroughly mineralized mountain state
in the west. and probably carries a
greater variety of commercial metals
and minerals in quantity than any
other state. Our metal output for the
current year will exceed $4,000, 600
gross value and $10,00O,000 in divi-
dends and the new discoveries of the
past summer in gold silver lead, zinc
and copper ores that have been made
in the south central portion of the
state will shortly expand the big vol
ume of production and profits now be-
ing made by our Occur d'Alone oper-
ators. several of whom are now taking
an active interest in the development
of discoveries tributary to the south
end of the state.
The federal company's new Star
mine on Wood river is proving q bo-
nanza. Its new mill is nearly complet-
ed, and this property is likely to rank
third among the zinc ore producers OF
the west within the next 80 days.
"Other discoveries of lead and zinc
miners, especially in the granite ana
porphyry formations of our central
mountain sections, are OF such q nature
as to promise an important shift in the
most active center of production at no
very distant date"
