Show The Bonanzas of Lost River. The entire Lost River and Birch Creek region is steadily improving, and will soon equal, if not surpass, the Wood River section, says the Idaho Register, of the 28th. At the former place the lodes are much larger, and much of the ore fully as good as that on Wood River. In fact, some of it is much richer, as shown at the Horn Silver mine. Next year the boom will begin, and soon there will be many claims worked which will turn out much bullion and give work to thousands of men. .There is no reason why this region, re-gion, when once started up, should not equal Butte, for it is claimed by practical men who have seen both places that the Lost River section shows much the best to begin with. At the latter place there are all the metals, and many of the outcrops out-crops of these lodes show large bodies of ore, almost equal to that found in the older camps, like Butte or Leadville,'at greater depths. So it is highly probable that when these mines, too, are developed, develop-ed, like those elsewhere,, we will have a great mining region near Eagle Rock, and will make another Denver of this place. The prospects are favorable, and it is only a question of time when all these changes will materalize right before our eyes. |
