THE STAR OF THE WEST| @olden Orops and Precions Minerals Coming from the Bank of Mother Earth, ROMANCE OF THE LOST PEGLEG MINE Rich Devolopments In Oregon—Wool Mar- Tdaho—A Tig Mining Sale ~Crop News from West- ern Flelds, The warm weather of the past two weeks o well interspersed w rain has dono Blorious work in pushing forward crops of wvery kind so that in 'most every section the general outlook for agood crop has never been better. Fruit while locally subject to fLailures in somo varieties is giving good in Mications and both the agricultural and mineral resources of the west may bo relica upon to contribute their full share toward making the coming year a prosperous oue. Yellow Metal In San Jnan. Tra A. Scott has just returned from Den ver, bringing with him a check for §243, ro- veived 400 pounds of ore taken from a ten-foot hole in the Sylvester location. This, With tho other mill run tests and the ship. ment made last year from the Elk Oro to Bilverton, removes any doubt as to the rich hiess of the gold veins in the auartzite area in the San Juan range, whence the Bear creek Bold has its source. Morian & Wheeler, Ste Bros,, McNutt and other assay hort ch returnus in gold and silver from samplos fort them by prospectors coming in for pr Yisions and supplics. A hundred locations have been made in the vicinity of the Good Hove and Sylvanite, owned by Ira Scott and Judge Wolls. The Good Hope has considerable work done, the property having been worked all inter, while the Sylvanite has only the as- Bessment work finished. ‘T'he latter was lo. Catea in April. The lead on which the Good Hope is located has been traced for three niles and staked that distance, the outerop $howing a well defined vein along the sur- face The Little Giant, owned by the Long brothers, gives 100 cunces in zold to the ton a4 depth of ten feet.

He w n some of his ventures and his name is per petuated by one of the best paying mines in that section There was one claim, says an exchange, bout three mites sonthiwest of the famous White Swan mine, on which he did some worit. After sinking a shafton the ledge Buisley abandoned the claim, for he thought he had something better. The ledge was afterwards known as the Farmnbam claim, but it was never developed. ‘Lwo sous of the original locator, Sam and James Baisley, often talked of opening up the ledwe which their father aiscovered But nothing in that direction was attempted until r ntly. After working only a short time they struck abig gold pocket in the ledge, which a width of five feet. A chink of ore taken out, that weighed about ten pounds, contained $100 worth of gold. Other rich specimens were found. Tn @ single day one of the Baisleys pounded out 81,000 worth of gold The claim is near the divide, between the White Swan wine and Alder or Sutter crock, ouly a short distance from Baker City. ‘Lhe new find created o big excitement at that place, where the specimens were ox hibited in a bank. Lots of prospectors went out there and old claims were jumped and things were lively, From present indications White Swan ai triet is likely 1 develop a considerable camp during the present season for deman, Varney Srom Gizzard. 1ccessful Tduho's Wool Crop, The scene at the wool depot of the Tdaho Commercial company at present spenks Jouder than words of the magnitude of that fndustry in Washington county, Idaho writes a western correspondent.

This is not the en tire clip of this county, as quite a lot from the vicinivy of Mineral will be shipped from £luntingion. These are hedrock figu should be remembered pared with the intlat habitually given by Bhort Lino About 350,000 has also | this sprins for mutton sheop.

The Sucker j Creck Mining company also has progressed | rapidly with the work of development, and | the mine prospects equally as woll as the | othcr mines fn tho district. The Divilbiss | Brothers are pushiug the work of develop | ment in their new tunnel, and have struck | their ledge on a lower level, which prospects | well. They have now about $20,000 worth of | ore on their dump, and they intend to have | a willin operation before the close of th season. The snow has seriously retardo the work of prospecting the country th spring, but now it has all disappeared, and there are a great many men in the moun- taius prospecting. A leage of free milling oro was struck within about four miles of Myr. tle Point a few dnys ago that prospects $10 per ton. The ledze is avout five feet in width, and is free milling ore. A Flve Milllon-Dollar Diteh, Oneof the grandest irrigation projects ever undertaken in Arizona is the one just started twelve milos east of Yuma at the narrows on the Gila river near Gila clty The dam will be of solid masonry, 4500 feet in length, 110 feet high, the water front covered with asphaltum finish, impervious to water. The reservoir will be twenty-five miies in length and cight miles wide at the widest point will_contain water suffi- cient to irrigate all of the valley and me: lands cast and south of Yuma and wost of the Colorado river, both in Arizona and in Mexican state of Sonora, an area of not less than 3,000,000 acres of the finest land in the valley of the Colorado. The water rights have been located, the surveys made 1 tho capital will be furnished by eastern and foreign capitalists and bankers, The location of the dam is one of the best on the Gila river and the same that was se- lected by the Sonora Land and ITrrigation company for the crossing of their aqueduct and canal, by which they propose to convey the water from the Colorado river down to their lands in Sonora. The project is a feas- iblo one, originated by George W. Morton, the eminent civil ana hydraulic engineer, and is now in chargo of G. W. Richards, an engineer formerly with the Southern Pacific Railway company, who has made the sur- veys. Tt is estimated that the dam will cost 5,000,000, The water in the re rwill have to be led in canals or flumes only half a mile before 1t ean be used to irrigate all ot 10 rich Gila valley lands betwoen the dam and tne Colorado river, an area of more than 100,000 acres. By competent engineers this is believed to be the grandest irrigation project yet started in Arizona. An Extension of the Amethyst, The Nancy Hanks has struck an eighteen- inch streak of ore that has assayed §250 in silver to the ton, is wus found in the bottom of the shaft about forty feet deep, The work of sacking ore from the drift, which has been going on successfully for rly two weeks, is thus augmented, and a ipment may be expected inside the next fortnight. The progress in this property is watched with considerable interest by mining men in the camp, and if the original proposition of the ters develops itself it will be not only a fissure vein, but the first producer on Mammoth mountain, Jesso Beam, one of the oldest prospectors in the camp, has opened up in the which adjoins the Nancy Hanks, n thry and a half foot vein of gravelly quartz, con- siderably iron-stained, which assayed 13 in silver and some gold. As he has the foot wall he is going to drift for the other, Several good streaks have lately been passed in the Ramey tunnel, which is now in over 200 feet. It has assayed well in silver and gold. The operators are not lookinz for hing extraordinary until they reach a flistance of 400 feet, wiien it is caleulated to cut the discovery vein. There has been considerable excitement on Mineral Point the past ten days, occa- sionea by the finding of what is bolieved to be the north extension of the Amethyst lead in the Union and Compton groups, and fur- ther work on the Puritan group, a half mile still further north, has disclosed the exist- ence of the same character of quartz, but of a Incllurqu.llll_} ard Ol People. mine in the Har- Arizona, about 100 murks the high® ash paid for a mining property in several years, according to the Gold The details of the transaction we a few days ago from an engincer who is familiar with the country and the facts, Development was commenced on the Bo- nanza about three ars agoand while rated as a good mine, it sliowed nothing remarka- ble until early in 1802, ien it passed into the hands of Messrs.
