Tn a letter to the Butte Minor a day or two

' 'As the wonderful Knlso-SIocnn mining
Region Is creating such Intouso Interest
liroughout the rntlro American continent
Jnd nttrnctlng thousands to the country In
icnrch of business and mining Investments ,
I take the opportunity of writing you. So
innny seemingly sensational reports have
> no abroad of the immense richness of
jihls country that many have bccomo
/ncrcdulous nna doubt the truthfulness of
| xho reports , but I can nssuro you and back
> rt up with my Judgment and seventeen
[ /cars of experience in mines and mining
ktmt the half has not been told of the
'fabulous ' richness of the veritable tronsuro
, vaults. Dully shipments of ere tire now bo-
L Ing made to Bonnor's Ferry , Idaho , and from
, there shipped to various points for reduction -
' duction ! and results from thcso will speak
r , louder than tongue or pen. During my rcsl-
! donee hero , slnco early In March , I have
I been very observant to everything concorn-
iiing the mlucs , gaining valuable luformatlon
from underground minors who work in them ,
'taking ' note of output , shipment , etc. , and
'Am confident it is the richest country over
strucir. Thcso miners I believe , in every
.Senso of the word , having known them foe ,
'years ' , and nlso know they htivo no Interests
of their own to advance. Some of them
lmvo mined In every big camp from old
tlMoxlco to British Columbia and of each all
'sav 'It boats anything I have over seen. "
\ The silver-load ores run nil from $100 to
MOO and upwards per ton In silver and from
50 to 75 per cent In load. Although from a
[ Vary ere district ores have been taken that
assay away up in the thousands in gold and
Oliver. As an illustration of what thcso
8'mincs ' are , I glvo an Instance. The owners
2of a group of llvo claims recently refused a
wash offer of $300,000 for their property , as
ftthoy had that value In ere Insight on the
2'flurfarn of three of their claims. Slnco then
, they have sunk on the load and are now tak-
I ing ere from a six-foot body of rich , clean
I galena , assaying from fclOO to $1,500. This
w'proporty ' has paid from the grass roots and
R is owned and worked by the original loca-
* ttorsall miners. So it is nil along the line
> pf many mines. As development -work
* 'progresses they unfold their wealth to the
J astonishment and wonder of all. The snow
is rapidly disappearing ana soon the hilts
> l will bo swarming with thousands of anxious
J. prospectors now here , en route and coming ,
f and the excitement will outrival these ot
\ Ixmdvlllo , Creodo and the San Juan of Col
orado. To the investor the country is a
, most promising field , for It Is already
demonstrated that there are many rich
properties which require only a small outlay
to pay largo returns. "

John U. Meyers of Littleton has been n

The gentleman nrumptly says that gas ai

Mr. Moyers bollovea that Colorado is
great gas field. But for gus It probab
would not pay to construct wells. There

known or calculated upon. When piped

Colonel I. O. True , an old tlrao Colorodo
miner , prospector and speculator , has Just
returned from n several months , itour In
northern Now Mexico , where ho has been
prospecting mother earth for anything of
value that might bo awaiting the miner's
pick and shovel. The colonel reports a num
ber ot valuable finds , most of which are
larpc beds of anthraclto and bituminous coal.
Ho made a number ot coal land locations and
returned to Denver to tnako his reports to a
number of Hlo Grande officials , who are in
terested In his prospecting ventures.
Colonel True claims to have discovered the
snurco of the supply of the placer beds of
the San Juan rivor. Ho says the true source
Is In the bltr cement beds near > Ignacla , near
the dividing line between Colorado and Now
Mexico. lie brought back with him a num
ber of mineral specimens , seine of which ho
found himself. Others vtoro secured from
Navajo Indians , who are the principal Inhab
itants of that section of the country ,
The coal fields ho reports as a continua
tion of the largo veins found In La Plata
county , and ho claims the supply Is practi
cally inexhaustible. The country Is rough
and hard of access , but rich In minerals of
all kinds.
The valleys of the San Juan are the irult
growers' paradise , lack of market for the
product ot the orchards being the ouo great
drawback.
In addition to having spent years In pros
pecting , Colonel True is something of an en
gineer , and ho reports that a feasible line for
a railroad Is presented by following up the
the Chama rlvor from ChanuU , N. M. , and
crossing the continental divide near Juantta
at the head waters of the San Juan , thence
down the mountain to Furmlngton , keeping
close to the course of the San Juan rlvor.
The CUUB liny llntlrond.
The Coos Bay , Rosoburg & ICastorn rail
road is being pushed forward as rapidly as
possible , although the Inclcmont weather has
worked great disadvantage to the contractor ,
U. A. Graham. The cars are now running
to Coqulllo City from Marshfiold and for some
distance nbovo Coqulllo City. Toward this
point the valley seems to bo allvo with men
and teams. Coqulllo City Is eighteen miles
from Marstiflold , and Myrtle Point Is nlno
miles above tno former place. The company
expects to complete the road to Myrtle Point
by August 1 and will continue toward Rose
burg this fall. The distance from Myrtle
Point to Rosoburg is about sixty miles , with
the Coast mountains Intervening , so It is
hardly probable that the road will reach
Roscburg before another year , unless the
people of Rosoburg will raise subsidy sufll-
clont to satisfy the company to commence
the grading from that end of the route.
The Coquille valley Is a very productive
locality and with its extensive coal fields and
rich quartz mines affords wonderful re
sources that are comparatively undeveloped ,
from the heretofore Inaccessibility of the
country and remoteness from market. There
are now bright prospects for this valley.
The Salmon mountain quartz discovery is
about thirty miles from here , and this town
Is tlio distributing point for that section.
Late reliable reports are very encouraging ,
and exports who have passed the winter In
examining the different lodges report very
favoraoly. In fact , it is now conceded that
the bolt of precious metal is very rich , and
tboro Is no doubt that stamp mills will bo in
operation on several lodges this season in
that locality.
bovon ItlcU Vein * Discovered.
The locating of over fifty claims during
the past ten days , the arrival of prospector :
from both east.and west , and the hourly re
ports of strides that roach Columbia Falls
from the scenes of mining activity , throe
miles cast of the city , glvo an idea of th'i
degrco to which almost every subject has
given place to mining. Kvorybody talks It
and the prospectors are the busiest lot 01
men In the Flatl.cad valloy. The ere now
being brought in looks much better than the
samples of ten days ago. Llko nil excite
ments of its kind , thcra are various opln
Ions , and thcso are expressed on the street

Some handsome ere has been broucht it
from the Columbia claim , located on To a
kettle , two miles north of town. The owner :
of this claim are going twenty foot bofon
assaying. The vein Is silver-gold bearing
forty-seven inches wldo at the surface , between
tween grnnito walls. The owners are Glofcr
Robinson and Stranahau.
Development work Is being done on thi
Golden Hoof , Sunset , Last of April , Ma :
Day and several others. Experts who havi
carefully gene over the Columbia mountain
three miles cast of this city , say there ar <
seven largo mineral-bearing veins runnlni
parallel along the west sldo. Assays of th
specimens sent out run with the usual dlvci
slty from ono to 120 ounces of silver am
from a trace to $31 In gold. The variety o
mineral found in the mountain Is puzzling t
some , as copper , lead , silver and cold ar
found together in some places , whllo in otho

found wholly alone.

Cincinnati $1,000 has accomplished some
thing ns most miraculous. It says also that
the Cincinnati doctor has agreed to keep the
hospital supplied with medicines sufficient
for all Its consumptive cases at his own ex-
pcnso. As only third .stage cases uro taken
there no more severe test could bo invited.
Whllo It Is now generally admitted that the
Ainiek discovery is a certain specific In the

sumptlvos. In this test just made by the

for any sufferers from the disease to test the
