A peculiar feature of the quartz is that a specimen assaying over $600 does not show a particle of free gold. The ore is a most peculiar one and cannot be treated other than by smelting.

Seven small carloads have been shipped, which gave a net value, after paying freight and smelting charges, of Boise County.
