Show THE BUCKEYE BOY MINE miner pierce city idaho we desire this week to call attention to the magnificent property owned by john Es callon and august anderson which is located on silver creek about fifteen miles northeast from pierce city the property in the silver creek oro grand breakfast creek and elk creek country is becoming more and more recognized by mining men as one of the finest fields for investment in the idaho mineral belt with the only exception that it is somewhat isolated so far as transportation por tation facilities are concerned for a considerable portion of the distance from this city to the silver creek claims there is only a aral over which wagons cannot be taken yet a wagon road with a reasonably good mountain grade could be constructed direct to the property at small cost fighting against unequal odds mr Es callon and mr anderson are doing all in their power to develop the silver creek property in which they have the greatest confidence with the limited amount of means at their disposal they have made a showing on their ground which is well worth any mining mans time to see since last fall with the arduous task of rip sawing lumber and packing in supplies they have built and now have running in good shape an aras tra and have also about feet of tunnel work done these two tunnels are on the buckeye boy claim and assays essays ranging from 6 to 32 in gold and a trace in silver are obtained from the ore taken from them there is probably not in the entire district a more highly mineralized country than the silver creek section and certainly could not be found a more ideal spot for the erection of a mill and the development of a big mine than is offered by the buckeye boy |
