Show THE DE LAMAR MINES. A Few rolnt. From the Joint Senator From lassia and Oywhee. Boise, ldah0) 0ct. U.-Capt. J. R. Do Lamar, of the booming camp of Do Lamar, ,omt senator for Caiia and Mi 8 that he will soon know whether he Lnion Pacilic company desires the huge and increasing traffic interest rrom his camp by lending a hand in constructing the North & South railroad rail-road from Do Lamar to the most leasable leas-able point on the Oregon Short Line, so that he can start the construction of his large works the coming spring, or whether the Union PadUs will leave turn to seek assistance offered from the Central Pacific Side. Clarence King and James D. Hague eminent authorities on mines and minerals min-erals have pronounced the Do Lamar group of mines the most wonderfully large and rich mountain of ore outside ol tne Comstock, and Veta Madre of Mexico, they have ever visited, and stated that eighteen months after a railroad rail-road enters that camp there would surely be a camp of 5000 people there. Capt. de Lamar's ideas are that the fires of Silver citv and Flint, as well as thousands of tons of do Lamar's second class silver ore could all be matted in a matting furnace at a junction of silver and gold ores of de Lamar and and neighboring camps, the value of which would be merged into the copper matt derived from the Seven Devils country. Thus after, collecting freight on both these ores by bringing them to the one point to be merged, all the matt so produced pro-duced would piss over the Union Pacific Pa-cific on its way to Baltimore to be refined. re-fined. Besides, as all ores not containing contain-ing lead can be successfully matted with copper ores, and thus the value of the one extracted after the short haul from any neighboring camp, and the value of the matt enhanced to stand the further railroad freight to the destination to the sea board, the Union Pacific with its commendable economical management manage-ment can't let ecouomy lead them so far as to let a mountain of wealth pass over to a competing road; and thus divert di-vert not only the business she now derives de-rives from the mines south of Nampa, but cut herself off from competing for all the machinery and supplies which must yet be hauled there, and would come in via the Central from San Francisco Fran-cisco instead of from Chicago or Denver. |
