A Mining Talk The Miles Kept Down Por the Benefit of an Aw aricious Bew
Reports from Seven Devils mines show little activity aside from Bodie shafting. Standard mine promises future rank while current work stalls. South Peacock aims to sink 100 feet. Snake River wagon road failings depress prospects and funding. Hear creek and Ruth regions show improving gold prospects, while Seven Devils holds vast ore, yet little development. Experts see immense ore and urge productive mining to unlock copper and gold wealth.

Mining camp hopes and rail link draw investors near
Reports from the Weiser district describe a rising copper ore find and a planned smelting plant with fuel, water, flux, and skilled labor ready. Key figures include Professor Rhodes, Mr Newman, Col Drake, J J Smith, and John Rogers pursuing machinery and electric power projects. A new road to the Snake River promises easier transport, attracting farmers, travelers, and eastern interest, while local merchants push sales and services as Washington County eyes capital to spur mining development.
