at 51693641 silver at 54467464 lead at 52524753 This gives a total of SGS5 858 or an amount 51108222 less than the value of 1894 Mr Churchs report to the director of the mint points out that the leading mining districts in the state now attracting at-tracting general attention are the De Lamar and Silver City mining districts of Owyhee county and the Goeur dAlene district of nosnone county Within these districts are a number of mines which havefew if any equals for richness and quantity of ore beds Especially Es-pecially is this true of the silverlead mines of the Coeur dAlene district which has Increased its output over the previous year notwithstanding the continued dull market for the product Of the placer ground of the Murray district Shoshone county he says the output has been steady and substantial The goldbearing quartz mines are also quite productive and are very promising promis-ing in character The Warrens district Idaho county Is fast taking the lead in profitable I quartz and placer mining and will add materially to the production of the state for the present year The many good ledges in Boise and emhi counties have been developed within the year to such an extent that their profitable operation is no longer a question The Seven Devils district in Washington Wash-ington county Is exceedingly rich in copper but has been developed meagerly meag-erly on account of the lack of transportation trans-portation The flour to be found in our sold great quantities on the famous Snake river has attracted unusual attention and has contributed largely to the increased production of the state AJiuc HoiKi < Contracted Pot Contracts for the hoisting machinery for the new shaft at the AJax were yesterday awarded by General Manager Man-ager McIntyre and it is
