INDEPENDENCE PLACER
SOON TO Be PRODUCTIVE
RICH GROUND OWNED BY WAL
LACE MEN ON THE
CLEARWATER.

After years of waiting. varied by
much hard work and expensive litiga-
ton. the independence Placer COM
pany is now amply financed and the
ground owned by the company on the
North Fork of the Clearwater, near
the famous old camp of Moose City,
will be the scene of much activity this
summer. William Fable. of this city,
manager of the company, left last
Monday morning on the Northern Pa
cifc for Rivulet, Mont, a station on
the Missoula branch. accompanied by
several men who will be employed on
the ground. From Rivulet to the pla-
Ger ground is about 55 miles over a
good trail. From this point supplies
will be packed in, which include in
addition to a large supply of provi-
sions and tools, small sawmill which
will turn out lumber for buildings and
fume. The company owns about 300
acres of ground near Moose City
which has been thoroughly prospect
ed and there seems no doubt that with
facilities to handle the gravel econom-
ically that it will pay handsomely. It's !
remote location has made it difficult |
to raise the necessary funds to place |
IL on a productive basis, but this has /
now been accomplished and the sue
cess of the enterprise seems assured
Money on Hand.
Mr. Fable stated last week that the |
company now has $4,000 on hand to be-
gin operations and that $4,000 more
will be available on July l. Later in
the summer by the time it is needed
500 900 will be paid into the company,
which will be sufficient to complete
the work contemplated and place the
in shape for mining. The
will begin at once the con-
struction of a bedrock flume which
viii be about a mile in length. Hy-
draulic power for washing down the
gravel will be provided by a ditch
about mile and a half in length.
There is an abundance of water so
that mining operations can proceed
throughout the season without loss of
time. The construction of the flume
and the ditch together with the other
preliminary work. will re-
quire all this season and probably part
of next When completed it is ex-
pected to prove to be one of the most
successful placer enterprises in Idaho.
Owned by Wallace People.
The ground owned by the Tndepend-
ence Placer company was located
about Is years ago by William Fable
and associates, who are still the chief
of the company. Among
these are Emil Pfster. NJ. Vinas, Otto
Trojanows<y and others. They have
encountered many difficulties and
heavy expense in holding the ground
during this long period, but knowing
its value, they have held on tenacious
ly until they have finally secured the
financial backing to carry
the enterprise TO a. successful conciu-
sion

The Eldorado company occupies
unique position in the fact that prac-
tically all development work has been
done under contract to take fun pay
ment in stock of the company. Obvi-
ously the showing must be exception
ally good to induce experienced min

accomplished was too small i'm COM
