Bogue, Theron Geddes, S. V. Shelp and Frank B. 'Stephens, will begin active operations within the coming week. The company has secured a bond on one of the largest dredges yet constructed on that river, with a daily capacity approaching 4,000 cubic yards, and on a series of claims covering the bars between Shelley and Blackfoot, a distance of twenty miles, and aggregating some 4,500 acres.
