west and from all indications it promises to develop into one of the richest and most permanent gold and silver camps in the state I Already several shipments of rich silver ore carrying well in gold have been made in this district and it is expected that some time during the present week McBurney and McDonald McDon-ald will make a shipment of high grade gold ore from their Creole mine The Iron County Record in speaking of the district says State Line district still continues sti contnues to make a favorable showing Late reports say that there is no doubt but that the vein revealed on the claim of McDonald and McBurney that assayed over 600 to the ton in gold has been struck a a point over 300 feet distant I dis-tant on the opposite side of the loca Hon owned by Middleton Thorley Co

Salmon Gold Mining company of Lsmhl county Idaho says an exchange I ex-change will start their first clean up next week when L is expected that I some four acres of gravel will have been washed over An experimental washing of 39100 of an acre made late last season showed 7000 gold to the acre but an average yield o 4000 per acre is all that is counted upon On account of the cold weather this seas on was six weeks late in openng but the companys ditches and reservoirs holding 22000000 gallons of water are now full to overflowing I The placer mine of the Salmon Gold Mining company located in Lemhi county Idaho comprises 3800 acres of land With three pits now iir operation working six giants there should be a clean up of our to six acres every month or 25 t 30 acres per year The life of

capacity For sevtral minuies a capacity or 20 gallons per minute was aeveuopeu and maintained trom a depth of 50 teet the length or the pipe in the well The limited number num-ber of evaporating vats was soon fined fin-ed These continue to leak however to an aggravating degree I tW gallons per minute two men could produce in ten hours 2500 pounds of soda the commercial value ot wmcn in bait Lake is 550 This again corroborates corrob-orates the statement ot Professor Knight that were the well pumped continuously it could be made to yield 120 per day while the operating expenses ex-penses are but trifling The proper thing for the company to do now seems to be to procure more vats that will retain water and gets its product on I the market I Three propositions have been received I receiv-ed
