Rich Gold Pocket on Buckeye Claim
Rich gold pocket story from Dream Gulch near Murray Idaho details Frank Reed’s Buckeye Boy claim. The five foot wide white quartz pocket yielded a $25,000 take in 1885 with a 25 by 25 by 5 foot chamber and a central quartz pillar. Reed built a mill from Dodge Mining Machinery, but the 10 hp boiler and 15 hp engine failed to meet expectations, hindering output.

Director Bunker Hill smelters optimistic on lead market
Frank M. Smith, director of the Hunker Hill smelter, reported in the city last Monday and Kellogg Tuesday that lead prices have advanced and may continue to rise, though too rapid an increase could depress demand. He noted lead at 54½ cents per pound equals prewar 44 cents and said operations may expand as mining conditions improve. He expects tariffs on lead and zinc to pass with little change and urged mining interests to push against any rate cuts.
