Fur Farming.


Fine furs have reached fabulous
values on account of growing scar
city, and this gives financial import
,ance to the conclusion of Ned Dear
born, of the United States bureau OF
biological survey, that the problem OF
a future supply has only one solution
fur farming. OF the score or more
of different fur bearing animals ma
tive to North America, about a dozen
seem to be suitable for domestication
The skunk, mink and silver fox nave
been successfully bred in captivity
and the marten. fisher, otter, blue fox
racoon and beaver have given promise
The skunk Is the most easily ano
commonly domesticated, and has more
breeders in the United States than al
other fur bearers combined. In under
taking to propagate animals for iur
climatic conditions, capital, SITUATION
space and food supply must all be con
sidered.

The law relating to the recovery OF

is very obscure and difficult to inter-

near the coast whose cargoes may be
washed ashore, there is, as a rule, nc
difficulty about establishing the own

titled to recover their property aftei

SOUTH IDAHO BONANZA
IS MONTE CR|sTO MINE
DESCRIBED AS MARVELOuSLY
RICH IN GOLD AND
SILVER.

Clarence f. Eddy, who has prospect
ed and mined in Idaho for good part
! of 20 years and who discovered the
we'll known Lost Packer mine, is now
| located in PocateNo and regards it as
the natural mining metropolis for all
this region, especially south and Gen.
trail Idaho, says the Pocatello Tribune
In speaking of the new strike of high
grade gold ore in the Monte Cristo
mine near Bonanza, Custer county
Idaho he said:
Opinion Of Geologist,
1.-The Monte Cristo strike is still
gaining in magnitude under new de-
Ivelopments and further assay tests,
Paul Valtinke, the eminent mining ge-
ologist, recently made a thorough in
spection of the Monte Cristo and pro-
nounces it not only the greatest new
strike in this state but the greatest
gold strike in Idaho during the last IL
years. Prof. Valtinke says that the
new quality of ore now coming in II
feet wide at $50 feet. depth in the Mon
tie Cristo, would commonly be called
telluride, but is in fact a selenide,
resulting from super heated water ac-
ton and volcanic fumes which depos-
tied the rich gold and silver values and
gave the ore peculiar blue greyish
cast. This quality of ore, he says, is
IF 70 iI1n oil
as 20 per cent gold and is similar in
general character to the high grade
ores of the Consolidated mine at
Goldfeld.
Didn't Know Value.
when the magnitude of this Monte
Cristo strike is further realized it will
spring there will be a big mining ex-
element and rush to the Monte Cristo
region. We had taken out 20 tons of
this high grade ore before we knew
it's value and having no more room
upon the dump we piled this peculiar
blue grit, as we called it, into the sage
brush alongside of the dump, but now
we find by assay that it contains a
moderate sized fortune. While the
mine has this ore in great quantities
it is under time lock until about May,
when the return of open weather will
permit us to get the needed mile of
road up to the mine and go to hauling
and reducing the ore. We can haul to
the Lost Packer plants of 100 tons
daily capacity four miles from the
Monte Cristo, but if need be can shir
this tonnage anywhere at great profit
when first struck the Lost Packer
and 500 ore they carried out $4,000
on mules and have since taken out ST.
100000. The Monte Cristo, however, il
easily five times bigger than the Los
Packer and when fully known it wal

great new boom for mining in Idaho
