Location in Creat Cold & Copper Bolt. The mines of the Alta-Idaho (Sold and Copcr Mining Company are located on the west side ol the .Hitter Hoot Mountains, nearly opposite the great cop per mines of Montana which are on the eastern side of this mountain and nmong the richest copper mines in the world, and the best paying mines in the I'nited States. The especial field of this Company is Idaho, al though its operations may not beeontlned to that state. The vast undeveloped resources of Idaho cannot help but bring immense wealth to their owners in the fu ture. They who are fortunate to participate in the ac quirement of a part of this enormous natural wealth will have no reason to regret tlieirclioice of investment. ' The Alta-ldaho (Sold ami Copper Mining Com pany's mines are now in operation and are being pushed to the fullest development possible. The company fillers a limited amount of stock for sale. Keeent developments show that the ore is in large quantities and of a rich quality which will war rant the value of the stock to increase as the opera tions continue. The present price of the stock will be increased in a very short time. Willi an abundance of rich ore and advantages which few mines have,thero is no doubt of tUesuccess of this Company. The otllcers of the Company will be pleased to have you write or call upon them, as they are glad to answer all inquiries and furnish the fullest informa tion concerning the mines and the manner of working thorn, and any other information desired concerning them.

To whom it may concern . 1 have recently examined (ho Empire O roup of mines situated In tiie Idaho Mining District, Idaho County, State of Idaho. This group consists of nine mines, formerly owned by A. 1). l'ardep and (SeoM. Snyder, and now owned by the Alta-ldaho (Sold and Copper Mining Company. I'll esc mines are essentially (Sold, Silver and Cop lMr propositions, the ores consisting of the whole range of sulphides including copper glance ; also carbonates. The gossan showing more or less oxydi.ed iron carry ing gold values. The geology of the 'mountain is some what complex, but aside from porphyritie iutriisives the general character of country rock is diorite,alteiod limestones, etc. The veins parallel each other to summit of moun tain and range from " to 40 feet in width, showing line service mineralization at .intervals along their entire course. The strike is N. W. and S. K. and walls are nearly, if not quite vertical. I regard them as true fissures. They are easily traceable on surface by f re silient outcrops, some of a bold type and in the case of the Idaho Ituby vein, a series of open cuts and shafts show it to be continuous for over 2000 feet and varying a surface from 10 to 14 feet in width with exception ally good ores in sight. With a surface slope angle of approximately .TO de grees the entire hill is workable by cross-cut tunnels, the portals of which in each instance would be adja cent to river and railway line, thus insuring u cheap ness in mining costs not usually obtainable. The present main opening) liy tunnel projected so as to cut through the middle of the property and thus encounter all of the veins at right angles. 'This tunnel is now driven for a distance of about 1H0 feet, gaining about It 15 feet in depth and while I did not make measurements, would judge that a distance of "Itf feet intervenes between the face of Ihe tunnel and the Jda-Kuby vein aforementioned, which would bo encountered at about L'ilO feet below surface. On the several lenses of ore already encountered I would suggest that drifting be continued as their lenticular character show possibility ot chambers or deposits of rich ore, and that work in face of main tunnel be carried on as at present, although a double shaft would be more desirable. The persistent presence of mineral in the country rock as tunnel progresses is very encouraging and the chances for encountering leads which do not show on the surface are very good.

Geological Survey, Part 1', Water Sup ply iiml Irrigation, papers No. 54, by l'rof. Israel Cook Kiissell of Michigan University : "To the reader who is not familiar with the min eral resources of the Nez Perce region, it may be of in terest to learn that the crystalline rocks of older data than the Columbia Kiver lava are quite generally ore bearing. These rocks, in many instances, are nieta phoric in character ; that Is, they consist of either sed imentary or igneous material that has been greatly al tered by heat and pressure and by movements which have caused it to become slieared'and assume a schis tose structure. Uesides these changes there have been great intrusions of molten magmas, cither into lls sures. as in the formation of the numerous dikes, or of a regional character, as the intrusions of granite, dio rite, etc., Into the earth's crust from great depths be low the surface. Where cither the metamorphic or plulonlc rocks are exposed at the surface, it is mani fest there has been deep erosion. 'Ihe thickness of rock removed has not been measured, but may be safely estimated at several thousand feet. The rocks which once were deeply buried are frequently trav ersed by veins in which more or less metallic material in the form office gold, silver, copper, etc., has been deposited from the heated waters which percolated through them. lu vcucral the rocks exposed beneath the Colum bia river, lava in the canyons of Snake, Salmon ami Clearwater rivers are such as are looked to for depos its of gold, silver, copper and many other ores and minerals. The prediction which a geologist would be led to make from the general character of these rocks is that they will be found to contain the precious me tals, which is verified by the discovery of gold and ores of silver and copper' in what are reported to be rich deposits." In conclusion, the Empire Mines are surrounded by the greatest mineral producing sections of the The AltaIdaho Gold & Copper flining Co., or to W. B. Allen, Bloomsburg, Pa.; Charles Harder, Catawissa, Northwest and will In turn lake part in producing their quox of wealth for the benefit of the Company's stockholders. Kxlcnsivo mineral bells are as yet barely prospect ed if at all. The company will keep a corps of cxcrt. prospectors In the field during the coining season and continue to add to its holdings at a minimum cost. Intimately acquainted with this reirion, we have the utmost faith in it. (SKO. M. SXVDKII, (ieneral Manager. The followiue Is an extract from the Lewiston, Idaho, Morning Tribune, January .

Dear sir : During the past few years I have seen many dill'ercnt kinds of ores, especially gold, copper, lead, silver, zinc and iron, hut I never before saw so line a lot of ores containing compounds of gold, silver and copper with so large a per eentage of these valua ble metals as was shown nu to-day from the mines of the Alta-ldaho Mining Company. Anyone of these minerals is there in Milliciciit' quantities to pay well for the mining.

An exchange says: "A working man who was complaining of hard times recently was asked how he could afford to take a newspaper. 'Well,' he said, 'I shall never be too poor to take a paper. , I thought I was too poor for ten years after I was married. My wife suggested that I take a paper regularly, and I did so, and it was the most economical stroke of my life. It kept me home, afforded me pleas ure and instruction and a comfort to the whole family. I had to stop the use of tobacco for a year once m order to pay for the paper, and the result was that I have not cared for tobacco since, and in that one item I have saved enough to pay for several papers. So leng as I have money enough to buy bread with I will have money enough to pay for a newspaper. It is the cheapest investment a man can make, both for himself and family; it is the last expense I will lop oft. I will drink my tea and coffee without sugar before I will do without my paper; I can better afford to do so.' " ' Liver Pills That's what you need: some thing to cure your bilious ness.

Since the great business boom which struck the town about a year ago, and the phenomenal increase in its population, the house has been entirely too small. Many first class attractions which played Bloomsburg have passed Berwick by, because of the small seating capacity of the house.
