Much Intercst attaches to the develop-
ments being made at Idaho , Ciy , Idaho , In
the seArch for gold below the false bedrock
of the Boise basin SOIO weeks ago the
drills brought UII rich gold ore . and the
theory that great deposits oC that class oC

IcmOnstrltet to be absolutely correot. He-
Iltvo to lie ( work now going on the Idaho

The trustees oC the Boise County Mining
company have decIded to raise more money
und go down deeper with thl bole In the

the granite hW been reached , and wi go
fifteen or twenty feet deeper to satisfy them-
seb'es. One thing Is certaIn , and that Is
that the company has great mines whether
the bedrock has or has not been reached.
Alt tim way from the surface there are suI-
111mrets , but not till within 100 feet ot the
bottom ot the hole were they saved Se\or !

i'l To secure the capital necessary for the work-
Ins of the ground Is tIme next question for
the company to consider. The people or

I was beloved that the running streams

determined that they do not. Time opinion
Is rapIdly gaining grouli thnt In order to
make a success of irrigation the Canners
must bo permltel to use every drop of

TiE COMING LEADVILLE
Time .eadvlo Horald-Democrat gives the
total Qutput of time Clml ) for 1891 at $ S,1t0-
074. Of the 1894 output , the production or
gold amounted to $1,934,240. 'fhls I cer-
taInly an excellent record for a gold camp
but I year old . and with but three gold
properties practically producing lt thl8 time.
Time gold output for 1893 was only a little
over $803,000. Time grand total of the yield
of Leadvile mines from 1879 to 1894 , Inclu-
sive , Is $10G.49.t7.29. The number ot men
engaged 10 nmlmmimmg hauling and smeltng
ore . as furnished by the superintendents of
the different , mines , Is divided as follows :
Miners and mine laborers 2,231 ; smelter
hands. 650 ; ore lmaulors 150.
From the developments made In the Lead-
vlo gold belt In time last few weeks the
mining men of the camp feel that they hlve
something to bo thanltCul for , ev o though I ,
silver Is down to GO cents. Conservative
to the utmost degree and a mining man
who knows every Coot of territory In the
camp , Mr. Pago's declaratIons will certainly
have great weight. Under his signature
Mr. Page says In the lerlld.Democrat :
"The gold camp of the future Is assured ,
.and In adequate description ot It osslhl-
Ilos begaN ; language' . Ladvlo ) ma1
justly b style the gold Comstock of Colo-
rado. Time great lode Is as yet In a very
Snnl part developed and ima.s atm extent oC
at least three miles by ten The development -
ment of the gold belt has progressed far
enough to state conservatively that Its record
Is much that time Leallvile oC the past wIll
bo forgotten In time Lcadvle oC the present , ,
and time golden future of time camp Is assured , '
In the JudGment oC one who may claim to
know time camp thoroughly , having been pro-
Cessionaly engaged hero for sixteen years ,
I indulge In no exaggeration when I say the
hall Is not told. "
