Sturgil Bar, the old placer camp
down the Snake from Weiser has been
a regular producer in a small way
for twenty-five years. The Baker
Herald has the following informa
tion regarding this season's work at
the bar;
"Messrs. Heed, Kobinette & Co.,
the owners of Sturgill bar placer
mines on Snake river, are wearing
broad smiles these days. Ten thous
and shining dollars lying exposed on
the bed rock is the cause of the
smiles. Never in the history of
Sturgill bar did prospects look bright
er or the glittering gold more beau
tiful than the present time as it lay
scattered on the bed rock in the
flumes. The "yaller stuff" is much
In evidence.
Plenty of water is also on hand
for a prolonged run and very con
servative and experienced placer
miners place the clean-up at easy
$10,000, with a probability of $15,
000 .
Moreover, the mistaken idea
of the gold being fine is exploded by
beautiful nuggeis from the size of a
flax seed to a walnut. In fact Slur
gill bar may be termed a coarse gold
proposition. It is the intention of
the owners to keep mining full blast
until water slacks which will be in
the fall, when, we predict, one of
the finest clean ups in the state of
Oregon will be made.
On Star Routes.
Mail contracts which

formant e of mail service on the star
routes in the states and territories,
provide that, in addition to carrjing
the mails to the various postoffices,
the carrier is required to deliver mail
into all boxes aud hang small bags
or satchels containing mail

Peculiar Placers.
On Last Sunday as we were return
ing from our visit to Helena we hud
me pleasure of visiting with A.M. Tous
ley. the owner and sole inhabitant of
what is familiarly known as "the one
man town." We were shown over Mr.
Tousley's placer diggings upon which
he is at present working every spare
moment, owing to the limited supply of
water. Right here we want t" say that
this was our first visit to genuine placer
diggings. VVhi'e liiere Mr. Tousley
"panned out" a shovel full of dirt and
produced several colors of coarse gold the
sise of pin heads. Hut that was only a
fair sample.
The Tousley placer diggings are lo
cated between Helena and Landor-, not
far from the famous Peacock copper
mines, and consist of four claims They
are without doubt a bonanza in them
selves. Tlie gold is coaise, of a rich
y-llow color and almost pure, going $18 -
1)0, and running 6 cents to the ounce in
silver. Mr. Tousley is at present en
gaged in cleaning out a large open cut
which when completed will he covered
over with a larsre shed and otherwise (ire
pared for all winter working.
Tousley's placers are very pecu
liarly situated inasmuch as they are
near the summit of a mountain that
seems to pitch sheer clown into the
center of the earth. From Snake
river a mountain rises at a slope of
shout to 1 for 5000 feet ami way
up there, in a slight dent in the moun
tain is the ground mentioned above.
The gold is thrown off from a buried
ledge near by and if Mr. T.everstrikes
the ledge that supplies the gold he
will have a bonanza. He lias been
driving tunnels for some years trying
to strike it.

which way the political cat would
jump in Idaho at the coming election,
he said; ''There isn't any question
about it. The fusion ticket will win

Fruitgrowers from the vicinity of

rangements for the erection of a big

in that locality gives promise of be

afraid prices might slump and they
would lose all the profits of the crop.
In order to fortify against that con

ship them to maiket whenever they
