Show SNAKE RIVER GOLD FIELDS. It is now demonstrated beyond a doubt that hundreds of miles of gravel bars along Snake River, Eastern Idaho-some of which are directly on the line of the Utah and Northern Railway-are rich in deposits of fine gold. Several companies operating in 1879, took out from $30 to $40 per day to the man. Their large and regular shipments of dust to San Francisco have created great excitement in mining circles, and Western journals already pronounce these the most extensive placer silver diggings in the world as "good prospects" of gold are found all along the river for a distance of 400 miles. Outfitting can be done at Eagle Rock, on the Utah & Northern Railway, and within an hour's walk of some of these great bars. Now is the time to strike for fortune in this vast new region, which will soon be overrun by miners from every State and Territory. |
