PROSPERITY seen FOR
MINES At FLORENCE
DENVER CONCERN WILL PUT
DREDGE IN OPERATION NEXT
SEAsoN-MuNERS ARE BUSY.

Prosperity for the Florence district
during the coming year is predicted by
j. II. Smith, mining man from that Sec
tion, who was in Grangeville early this
week in company with James Irwin,
also of Florence. They were here to
procure supplies for their camps.
Extensive prospecting for gold has
been in progress at Florence during the
summer and fall, and conditions are
very favorable, according to Mr.. Smith.
Much of the prospecting is being done
under the direction Of w. H. Wright,
representing the Wells company, of
Denver, Colo. Mr.. Wright is employ
ing ten men at Florence at the present
time, and expects to put dredge in
operation there next year.
Most of the prospecting has been on
low, unworked ground, where water
hitherto has prevented extensive work
ings. The dredge will be placed here,
where it is believed considerable gold
can be recovered. Owing to the great
demand on manufacturers for war sup
plies, delivery of the dredge has been
much delayed.
A quantity gold has been taken out
of the Florence district this year.
Messers. Smith and Irwin returned on
Wednesday to Florence.

socated six head of the cattle-four
owned by the Sullivan brothers and two
owned by Mr.. Dundas--and later iocat-
en T three steers owned by Rinehart.
Lhese steers are in an Indian pasture
ABOUT three miles from Winona.
Investigation has disclosed that four
d the stolen cattle had been sold by
nitehin to Doff Rosenkranz who re-
sloes near Lawyers canyon. This di.
res.iy @ identified the young Kamiah man

ASSESSMENT WORK
ON NINE CLAIMS
UNNECESSARY
NEW Law EXCUSES ALL FROM
ANNUAL IMPROVEMENT TO
HOLD MINERAL RIGHTS.
PASSED AS war MEASURE
Act to Save Time and Money Holds for
Years 1917 and 191s-Means Il
Millions to State.

All mining claims in the United
States have been exempted from as
sessment work during the years 1917
and 1918 by a bill which became law
last Saturday when President Wilson
attached his signature thereto. The
law will save hundreds of thousands of
dollars to the mining interests of Idaho
Grangeville mining men have been
overJoyed by news of the president IS
action. Work to the extent of 800,
which it has heretofore been necessary
for holders of mining claims to annually
perform on each claim in order to re-
tain their rights, is by this law elimi.
mated for two years.
Work Mere Waste of Time.
Annual assessment work has in many
instances proved waste of time and
money, and has been performed merely
to adhere to requirement of the law
so that the miner would not lose title
to his property. Now, with a notable
shortage of labor in all parts of the
United States, and the necessity of
every man in the country being engaged
in gainful occupation or fighting, per-
lOt VI dsStSSUutHI WOIh Ou
claims is deemed of little purpose. With
this thought in mind, the bill providing
for elimination of the work for two
years was introduced in congress-, pass
ed both houses, and was signed by the
president.
Word that the president had signed
the measure was first sent to Grange
vile by Ravenal Macbeth, secretary of
the Idaho Mining association, in a tele.
gram to Martin Wagner. Mr.. Macbeth
acted on information received by wire
from Addison T. Smith, representative
in congress from Idaho.
Macbeth Returns to Boise.
Mr.. Macbeth, who has returned to
Boise from north Idaho, where he was
engaged in gathering data on the min
ing industry, has covered most of the
mineraliZed districts of the north and
reports hearty cooperation on the part
of all those engaged in mining. The
statistics being compiled by Mr. Mac
beth will show the large amount of
money that is put in circulation each
year by the mining industry of Idaho
Exclusive of the Occur 'Alene district
more than 2000 men are now employed
in mining in Idaho. This does not in.
clude individual claimants and prospec
tors. In the Occur d'Alenes the big
producers are working more than 600C
men, said Mr.. Macbeth in an interview
in Boise.
North Idaho is particularly enthus
iastic over mining and the business mer
in Bonner and Boundary counties are
doing everything possible to encourage
the development of prospects, he said
Compilation of the data being gath
cred by the mining association will MOI
be finished until some time after Janu
ary |. The work will be the means Of
acquainting the public with Idaho !
