shipped fifty carloads of material
and equipment into Featherville, Il
eight miles beIow Rocky Bar, Gilmore
County, Southwestern Idaho, and an
nounces that it is making million
dollar investment in a placer field |
there which will occupy the attention |
of two newly built $4,000 dredges
for fully "a years.
A group of multi-millionaires, af-
filiated with the fifty million dollar
st. Joe Lead company, of eastern
fame, has begun operations in the
sensational old gold camp of Atlanta,
15 miles east of Rocky Bar. Atlanta
produced $6O,00O,000 in gold many
years ago and then became mort
bund, the early pioneers having
abandoned the amp when 1t ceased
to yield 800 a ,on rock.
At Rocky Bar itself, the old-time
producers during Idaho's early ter
ritorial history, wniou outputtea

that Rocky Bar by spring time will
be the scene OF great mining eami
