SOLID SILVER IN PREMIER MINE
George   Cameron    came  down
from   the Premier  mine, up   the
Salmon River Valley,   last   week
and    reported  that   during   the
mining  operations   he drove   his
pick  into the face of  the   tunnel
and   it   stuck   in   soltd     silver.
^ome beautiful samples of silver
ore   from  this  mine   are   being
exhibited around   town.    Among
well   known    mining   men   who
visited the mine during the week
were H. B.  Price of New York,
W. H. Young  of  San Francisco,
and W. W. Warren of  Butte.

enterprisingponeer of this district, and
seven of the claims were added to the

assimilating the fact that Stewart is
